After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1177 - 1176: Movie Release

Following the smooth commencement of the wedding ceremony, Jiang Fengqi and Wang Zicheng began circulating among the guests to offer toasts.

Upon reaching Xia Chuyi, Jiang Fengqi spoke up, "We appreciate you attending our wedding today. Due to Zicheng’s delicate health, he is unable to consume alcohol, so we shall toast you with water instead."

Once the pair raised their glasses, Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian followed suit to extend their well wishes to the newlyweds.

With the toasts finished,

Jiang Fengqi and Wang Zicheng turned their attention toward Song Zhicheng.

"Thank you for coming, Zhicheng," Jiang Fengqi said. "Your presence and blessings mean a great deal to us."

Song Zhicheng offered a faint smile and replied, "Why speak like that? We have been companions since our youth, and that bond shall surely endure into the future."

"As a true friend, how could I possibly miss this occasion?" Song Zhicheng lifted his glass and added, "Fengqi, I sincerely hope you and Zicheng enjoy a long, harmonious life filled with love."

The two men exchanged meaningful glances.

Finally, they drained their respective glasses in a single motion.

Afterward, Jiang Fengqi and Wang Zicheng moved on to continue their rounds.

Shortly after, Song Zhicheng remarked, "I just recalled that I have pressing matters at the school, so I must depart shortly."

He directed his excuse toward Xia Chuyi and the others present.

"Understood; please travel safely," Xia Chuyi said, making no move to hold him back.

Nevertheless, she could not suppress a quiet sigh as she watched his retreating figure.

"Shiqian, I feel very fortunate that we are together," Xia Chuyi murmured suddenly.

Huo Shiqian shook his head gently and answered, "Our circumstances are different. No matter what obstacles arise, we will always remain by each other's side."

He was implying that the tragedy between Jiang Fengqi and Song Zhicheng would never be their fate.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi looked him in the eye and teased, "Are you truly that certain? There will be no unforeseen events?"

"Provided our hearts remain as one," Huo Shiqian replied firmly, "no force can ever separate us."

Observed his unwavering confidence, Xia Chuyi stuck her tongue out playfully, thinking: Didn't they fail to end up together in their previous lives?

Still, Huo Shiqian’s point about "united hearts" held weight. In their past, they had lacked true intimacy, so how could their hearts have truly been joined?

"Very well, we are indeed different. No matter the situation, we shall always stay together," Xia Chuyi promised.

Thus, their bond would surely transcend into the next life.

Once Jiang Fengqi’s wedding festivities concluded,

a short time later, "Struggle" finally hit the theaters.

Just as Xia Chuyi recalled, the motion picture generated a steady buzz from the moment it began screening.

Capitalizing on this momentum, Xia Chuyi’s business was poised for even greater expansion.

By this stage, the franchise advertisements for Youwei had already begun appearing in the local papers.

Franchise?

The term was quite novel to many people.

However, because the Youwei brand appeared within the film, interest was high, and many flocked to inquire about the details.

Upon grasping the concept of franchising, a significant number of people immediately showed interest in signing on.

Xia Chuyi and her team began the rigorous vetting process for potential franchisees.

During this time, Xia Chuyi discovered through Huo Shiqian that several veterans were interested but lacked the immediate capital for the franchise fee.

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Chuyi told him, "If these men are from your circle, I am willing to let them start immediately and allow them to pay the fees once they have turned a profit."
