Arrogantly saying a sentence, Zhu Youcai then dialed a number, but he hung up after just two sentences; this wedding planning company didn't have any available hosts.

Although the start wasn't promising, Zhu Youcai's expression didn't change much. He said, "Hold on," and dialed another number. In his view, this was nothing—if one didn't work out, there was always the next one.

However, after making another call, the result was still the same.

Feeling the gazes all around him, Zhu Youcai's face slightly changed. He then made the third and fourth calls, but unfortunately, the answers remained that there were no free people.

After making a string of calls, Zhu Youcai cursed a series of swear words in his heart. Under everyone's gaze, he really felt a bit embarrassed.

Actually, in this situation, Zhu Youcai wasn't really bragging randomly. As a section chief managing individual businesses, he did indeed know many people in the wedding business, so he naturally had some resources.

It's just that, to use a very domestic expression, today is indeed an auspicious day, and the business for each wedding planning company was extremely good; the hosts had long been fully booked. Trying to find one at this time was truly difficult.

Seeing the sweat appearing on Zhu Youcai's forehead as he still hadn't resolved this matter, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, simply no longer relying on him, and started making calls themselves to help Shi Tong get in touch.

Unfortunately, even Zhu Youcai had no solution, so everyone was just busy for nothing.

Watching Shi Tong's face grow increasingly grim, with his initially hopeful gaze turning gradually dim, Chu Ge also felt quite uncomfortable. After all, a wedding is a very important event in one's life, yet for Shi Tong, it was turning into a series of complications.

Without needing to think, Chu Ge knew that if today's event was ruined, Shi Tong would definitely have even less standing in his wife's family, and it would inevitably negatively affect the marriage.

After all, no matter who it is, having something go wrong at your wedding is always a very bad memory.

Yet, Chu Ge didn't know anyone in the wedding planning business. He initially wanted to call Qin Ruojing for help, but then a light bulb went off in his head as he suddenly thought of two perfect candidates.

Chen and Xu, the two women.

Last night during dinner, didn't everyone talk about this topic? Saying that if they could have them host a wedding, it would absolutely be a happy and prestigious thing?

Thinking of this, Chu Ge took out his phone and walked to the relatively quieter stairwell to dial Chen Jiatong's number.

The reason for choosing the stairwell was, first, because the hall was too noisy, and second, just in case, he didn't want Shi Tong to have false hope.

Although he didn't want to get entangled with these two women, this matter was related to the happiness of his friend. Besides, he didn't think this was such a significant deal, so he shouldn't owe too much of a favor.

The phone was quickly answered, and Chen Jiatong's obviously surprised voice came through the receiver.

"Chu Shao, good morning."

"Good morning, Miss Chen. I'm not disturbing your rest, am I?"

"No, no, I'm just doing yoga."

Hearing Chen Jiatong say this, Chu Ge tentatively asked, "Well, I'm wondering if Miss Chen has time? I have something I'd like to trouble Miss Chen with."

When she first answered Chu Ge's call, Chen Jiatong initially thought Chu Ge was asking her out, which is why she was delighted and specifically mentioned she was doing yoga, but after speaking a few more words, she realized that was not the case.

However, Chen Jiatong wasn't too disappointed, after all, what she wanted was to make Chu Ge feel favorably toward her. Being able to help Chu Ge was naturally a pleasant surprise for her.

With her own plan in mind, Chen Jiatong gave a soft and sweet laugh and said, "Chu Shao, you're too polite. If you don't mind, just call me Tongtong, and… whenever Chu Shao needs anything, Tongtong definitely has time."

Hearing what Chen Jiatong said, Chu Ge didn't stand on ceremony with her and directly said, "Here's the thing, a friend of mine is getting married, and the host bailed. Now, they urgently need a host to step in. If you can, I hope you can help out with this."

"It would be my honor to help Chu Shao. I'll head over right away. By the way, does Chu Shao mind if I bring Jingyuan along? We used to do live broadcasts together; if we're together, the effect will definitely be much better than me alone."

"This is great news! I can't thank you enough, so why would I mind? It would be so helpful." After saying a polite word of thanks, Chu Ge then told Chen Jiatong the address of the hotel where Shi Tong was hosting the wedding ceremony.

"Chu Shao, you're too polite. What time is the ceremony?"

"Nine eighteen, is there any problem?"

"Absolutely no problem, I'll contact Jingyuan right away, see you in a bit."

Hearing that Chen Jiatong was about to hang up, Chu Ge suddenly realized something and added, "Wait a minute, the one getting married today is a childhood friend of mine whom I haven't been in touch with for years. No one there knows my identity, so please, don't mention it either."

"Rest assured, Young Master Chu, Jingyuan and I will definitely keep it a secret. But honestly, I've never seen a rich young master like you. Most young masters seem eager to let the whole world know how remarkable they are."

Listening to the teasing tone in Chen Jiatong's voice, Chu Ge found it amusing as well. What a rich young master he was; he was just an orphan who had worked his way up step by step.

Of course, Chu Ge wasn't worried at all about his identity as He Qing's cousin being exposed. He Qing had already helped him come up with an excuse when they discussed this matter earlier, saying he was later adopted.

"Miss Chen, you're joking. I actually think being a second-generation heir is not exciting at all. Relying on the family halo is nothing impressive; the best way to earn genuine respect from others is to rely on oneself."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Chen Jiatong was genuinely moved. Young masters who think like Chu Ge were exceedingly rare.

"Young Master Chu, I truly admire you more and more. I've noted down your words, and I need to hurry up, get dressed, and tidy up. Otherwise, if I delay Young Master Chu's affairs, it would be my fault."

Chen Jiatong's previous words were tender, but these ones were the pièce de résistance. She clearly knew how to read men's minds and knew how to speak in the most pleasing way. Moreover, she always wanted to connect with Chu Ge, so she wouldn't want to miss any chance that might make Chu Ge have a good impression of her.

Hearing Chen Jiatong say this, Chu Ge's lips curled slightly. This Chen Jiatong was indeed remarkable, with words as sweet as honey.

"Alright then, see you in a bit."

Having settled this matter, Chu Ge also relieved Shi Tong with a smile and a word before hanging up and returning to the banquet hall.

By this time, Shi Tong's face looked even worse than before. Everyone had made all the possible calls and asked everyone they could, but it was all futile. No one got in touch with a replacement host. They were wondering whether someone from their circle should fill in as a makeshift host.

As everyone was at a loss, not knowing who could take on the role of host, Chu Ge returned to the table, patted Shi Tong on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Stone, don't be upset. Don't worry; your wedding will go smoothly."

While everyone else was in a frenzy, Chu Ge's smile was quite noticeable. Hearing his words, Shi Tong was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

It was Lin Fang beside Shi Tong who had a quick mind, and she asked in surprise, "Chu Ge, do you mean... you've sorted out the host situation?"

Chu Ge smiled and nodded, "That's correct."

Thinking about the twists and turns of Shi Tong's wedding, Chu Ge didn't want to speak too confidently at the moment. However, he didn't think Shi Tong would be that unlucky. Surely, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan wouldn't stand him up.

After hearing Chu Ge's affirmation, Shi Tong's dim eyes finally lit up again. Lin Fang instinctively asked another question, "Chu Ge, is it true?"

Under the gaze of numerous eyes, Chu Ge smiled and said, "Yes, if nothing goes wrong, they should be able to come over later and won't delay Stone's ceremony."

With Chu Ge's confirmation, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhu Youcai, however, wasn't the least bit happy for Shi Tong. On the contrary, he felt quite disgruntled inside.

After all, he had hoped to save face for the previous day's incident by helping Shi Tong find a host. But the fact that even as a section chief at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, he couldn't manage to do it, while Chu Ge, merely a driver, could, was something he couldn't swallow.

It felt like Chu Ge deliberately wanted to humiliate him, then take the opportunity to smack him in the face.

Little did he know, Chu Ge simply couldn't be bothered with someone as petty. If he truly wanted to humiliate him, he could have done it when Liu Weijiang came to snatch the private room yesterday. The reason he turned to Chen Jiatong was entirely for Shi Tong.

With a belly full of ire, Zhu Youcai sarcastically said, "Chu Ge, you see, the guests present are all people of status, and this hotel is quite upscale. If the host you've found is not up to par, it would not only fail to help Stone but also create chaos at his wedding. Can you ensure that the host you've found is competent?"

Hearing Zhu Youcai's words, Cao Xu glanced at him and said flatly, "At least Chu Ge found someone. In this situation, it's much better than having no host at all, isn't it?"

The disdainful look seemed to say, "Someone seemed to boast loudly that they could handle this, but what happened?"

Zhu Youcai's face froze, "Brother Cao, I'm just thinking of Stone's interests. After all, this is about his lifelong happiness."

This time, Cao Xu didn't even look at Zhu Youcai, just snorting from his nose without comment.

Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit tense, Lin Fang came to the rescue, "Actually, Section Chief Zhu has a point. This is indeed a significant matter. Chu Ge, which wedding company did you find?"
