"My husband and I will not accept a single penny of the bride price."

To be honest, Gu Changfeng and Ruan Qiushui really didn't care about this amount of money.

"We plan to have Wan Tang take this money, along with her dowry, to their new home as a family fund."

After his son and daughter both planned to get married, Gu Changfeng had already discussed with his wife the distribution of his son's betrothal gifts and his daughter's dowry.

In a few days, the formalities will be completed.

"Alright, alright, we'll do whatever you say, in-laws."

The Shen couple felt extremely comforted upon hearing Gu Changfeng's words.

Look at his wonderful in-laws! They didn't want a single penny of the bride price; they gave it all to the children. They're so generous!

"So, where in Beijing do you think would be a suitable location for the wedding banquet?"

My son had mentioned before that he would hold the wedding in Beijing.

We can just charter a plane and bring all our relatives and friends over.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, what do you think?"

Ruan Qiushui looked at Liu Sanmei and her three companions.

Although the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is famous, it has a small capacity.

It's definitely not suitable for holding a wedding banquet.

Let the elders figure out a location.

"This is my great-granddaughter's wedding, we can't be stingy."

Chen Yongjun pondered for a moment.

"How about this, let's hold the wedding banquet at the Great Hall of the People."

The Great Hall of the People has been officially open to the public since July 15, 1979.

Political, diplomatic, and cultural events, including weddings, can be held there.

Xiao Bao's wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it cannot be taken lightly.

"The Great Hall of the People?"

The Shen family of three was stunned.

Although the Great Hall of the People is open to the public, it is subject to strict screening, high prices, and difficulty in making reservations.

It's unbelievable that Old Master Shen was able to book a wedding banquet at the Great Hall of the People.

"Just who is this old man?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Shen Lang turned his head and asked his son in a low voice.

"have no idea."

Shen Yangchun shook his head.

Gu Wantang had never told him about the Shen Yongjun couple or their background.

Not only that, but even Ruan Hengzhi and his wife were only mentioned briefly.

As for Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng's skills, they are too famous.

Even if the Shen family didn't specifically inquire, they would still know a thing or two.

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa to help with this."

Ruan Qiushui knew about the connections of the older generation and believed that the wedding banquet would be easily resolved.

"What's the trouble?"

We're family, no need to be so polite.

Next, the two sides discussed the banquet menu and the number of guests, and continued to discuss the details until late at night before returning home.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Zhenghe and Gu Wantang have discussed and decided to hold a wedding together.

This matter received strong support from Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei, and also obtained the consent of Shen Yangchun's parents and Liu Xiangsi's parents in advance.

Double happiness, a truly joyous occasion!

…

There are six days left until my son and daughter get married.

That afternoon, Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng went home early, and also called Gu Zhenghe and Gu Wantang back with them.

"Mom and Dad, is there something you wanted to tell us about?"

When Gu Zhenghe saw that in addition to his parents and maternal grandparents, even his great-grandfather was there, he thought something serious had happened.

"We called you back to explain the matter of company shares."

"Daughter, this is a wedding gift that your dad and I prepared for you."

Ruan Qiushui gave Gu Wantang the document transferring 85% of Ant Group's shares.

"Son, this is a wedding gift that your mother and I prepared for you."

Gu Changfeng gave Gu Zhenghe the document transferring 85% of Penguin's shares.

My son and daughter have grown up and are capable of standing on their own.

This time, handing over all the shares of Ant Group and Tencent to them is a good opportunity for them to try their hand at it.

If they can grow and strengthen their businesses, then their other businesses can be entrusted to them with peace of mind.

"Mom and Dad, isn't this wedding gift a bit too heavy?"

Gu Zhenghe marveled at his parents' generosity.

That's 85% of Penguin's shares!

A company with annual revenue of tens of billions, which could reach hundreds of billions in the future.

Although he was in charge of Penguin's business and management, he never wanted any of his parents' shares.

He also aspires to achieve what his parents have today through his own efforts.

Now that such a golden opportunity is placed in front of him, should he accept it or not?

"Mom and Dad, don't you have too many shares in Ant Group? If these shares are transferred to me, what will you do in the future?"

Gu Wantang was only worried that her parents would starve after losing their shares.

She and Shen Yangchun invested in an ocean trading company, which provided them with enough to live comfortably.

"Silly sister, have you forgotten about the other companies owned by Mom and Dad?"

Gu Zhenghe smiled and patted Gu Wantang's head.

"Mom and Dad, I'm not trying to take advantage of your other companies."

Fearing that Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng might misunderstand, Gu Zhenghe quickly explained.

Even if his parents were to give all those assets to his sister or use them for charity in the future, he would have no objection.

"It's okay if you have designs on them, anyway, all these businesses will belong to you two siblings in the future."

Gu Changfeng wasn't afraid that his son would have ideas.

Sometimes, a little ambition is a good thing.

"However, acquiring our assets will not be an easy task."

"Entrusting the ants and penguins to you this time is a test for you."

"If you can achieve something, then taking over the remaining assets under our name will be a natural progression."

"If you can't generate profits and instead incur losses, then it proves that mental work is not suitable for you. So step down from management and enjoy a mediocre but comfortable life."

They'll give us a large sum of money, put it in a fund, and we'll receive a fixed monthly allowance to cover our daily expenses.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the ant industry."

Gu Wantang is now familiar with the company's affairs and will definitely be able to get started quickly.

"I will definitely make Penguin bigger and stronger."

Gu Zhenghe wasn't just talking.

Under his leadership, Penguin's performance reached new heights.

Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction; they certainly didn't want their descendants to be good-for-nothing playboys who could only loaf around and wait to die.

After Gu Zheng and his siblings put away the share transfer agreement, they received blessings from Ruan Hengzhi and his wife, as well as Shen Yongjun and his wife.

The elderly couple, Chen Yongjun and his wife, gave each of them a house and a box of jewelry.

Ruan Hengzhi and his wife each received two shops and a box of gold bars.

After just one trip, the brother and sister are now worth over 10 billion.

They were so full of money that they went back to their rooms in a daze.

…

July 21, 2002, the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month, is an auspicious day for marriage.

On this sunny day, witnessed by a group of elders, Gu Wantang and Gu Zhenghe officially stepped into a new stage of life and began a new chapter.
