Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Brother Jing, are you free?
Su Tiantian sat on the sofa holding a pillow and sent a message to Liu Jingze.
A minute later I received a reply: Tiantian, I have something to do. I will video call you in half an hour, okay?
Su Tiantian replied: OK.
Half an hour later, Liu Jingze called via video: "Tiantian, good evening."
Liu Jingze on the other side of the camera looked energetic, sitting on the sofa, wearing a neat white shirt and a black suit, with a light blue tie, looking very handsome.
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, good evening, you haven't gone home yet?"
Liu Jingze said: "My father, godfather and I are outside. It will probably take an hour before we can go home."
Su Tiantian said, "You'll be home after 11 o'clock. I have something to discuss with you. When are you free?"
Liu Jingze asked, "Is it urgent?"
Su Tiantian said: "Not really."
Across the screen, Su Tiantian heard someone calling Mr. Liu, obviously looking for Liu Jingze, so she said, "How about this, I'll send you a message, reply when you're free, you go ahead and get busy."
Liu Jingze said apologetically: "Tiantian, I'm sorry, I will reply to the message as soon as possible."
Su Tiantian wasn't angry at all. Liu Jingze was always busy, and even busier lately. He was also busy with his own work, so everyone just needed to be considerate of each other. Pan Binghua was right. He really wanted to take you there, no matter how far the journey was. If he didn't want to, he could have asked someone else to take you there, or even asked you to take a taxi. Su Tiantian understood this very well. Even though Liu Jingze was so busy, he always tried to make time to pick her up.
Su Tiantian: Brother Jing, I'm having dinner with Qiaoyi and her husband, A Bing, tonight. Qiaoyi, do you remember us having dinner together last time? They're getting married today. Qiaoyi is pregnant, so she can't be my bridesmaid or attend the wedding. I need to find a new bridesmaid. I'd like to ask A Ling, is that okay?
After about fifteen minutes, Liu Jingze replied: It's up to you. If she doesn't want to, Huilin, Ahui, and cousin Lin can also be your bridesmaids or sisters.
Su Tiantian: Don’t you have any other female friends?
Liu Jingze replied: Are the female employees at the farm or company okay? Are my friend's girlfriend okay? It's not hard to find an unmarried woman with living parents and preferably an older brother. But you won't know any of them.
Su Tiantian: Let me ask Aling first.
Liu Jingze: You should go to bed early. I will probably be home very late tonight. I will talk to you tomorrow morning. Tiantian, I miss you very much. Our wedding is in a few days.
Su Tiantian: Brother Jing, I miss you too, you go ahead and do your work first.
Su Tiantian directly sent a message to Li Yunling in the group of four: At Li Yunling, Aling, my bridesmaid is pregnant, I need a bridesmaid, are you willing?
A few minutes later, Li Yunling replied: "Sister Tiantian, do you really want me to be your bridesmaid? That's great! The red envelopes are bigger than being sisters." -- This means she agrees.
Li Yunling: If I'm a bridesmaid, won't that mean there's one less bridesmaid? Then you should find another bridesmaid.
Su Tiantian: This is easy. Just find one of your aunts’ cousins.
Su Zhihao: Yes, my cousins are all unmarried. I'm asking. Sister, will you be back after get off work on Thursday?
Su Tiantian: Yes, the total number of days of leave and vacation is 10 days.
Su Zhihao: Then I’ll pick you up from get off work.
Su Tiantian: So far? Will you pick me up after get off work? Usually, Brother Jing would come to pick me up.
Su Zhihao: He can't come to pick you up, and you can't meet three days before the wedding. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother, your aunt or your sister-in-law. Your aunt is the introducer in this wedding, and she knows about it. She told your mother to move back home three days before the wedding.
Su Tiantian: Brother Jing is busy, I will ask him later.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Su Tiantian, who was preparing to go to bed, sent a message to Liu Jingze: Brother Jing, I have something about work that I want to discuss with you, about the last incident, whether I should work as a financial manager in the new company. Mr. Lai urged me for an answer today, and I promised to reply tomorrow morning.
At 11:20 pm, Liu Jingze first read the message sent by Su Tiantian. He was afraid that replying now would wake her up, so he thought about replying early tomorrow morning. Then he looked at the message in the group and felt a little helpless after reading it: "Dad, Zhihao said that his aunt said that Tiantian and I can't see each other three days before the wedding. Is this custom? He also said that the aunt was the introducer. Is this aunt the mother of Brother Zhiyao?"
Liu Liangjie, who was sitting in the same car with him, said, "Yes, that's her, Su Zeyuan's wife Shi Xiaoqin. The elder sister-in-law said that we need someone to introduce you at the wedding ceremony. You and Tiantian have known each other since childhood, and there's no real introducer, so she's perfect. There's a custom that you can't see each other for three days before the wedding."
Liu Jingze looked at Liu Liangjie with resentment: "Tiantian started her vacation on Friday. I was planning to pick her up on Thursday afternoon, but Zhihao said he would go pick her up, so I can't see Tiantian."
Liu Liangjie said: "The wedding is on Sunday, it's just a rare three days."
Liu Zhaosheng, who was sitting on Liu Jingze's right, comforted him: "Wait until our new company is up and running, and persuade her to come back to work. You can see her every day."
Liu Jingze said: "There is no need to wait until later. Young Master Yuan and Mr. Lai want Tiantian to work at the company in Yanfu Town."
Liu Liangjie's first reaction was: "What conditions? Our Liu family is selling the land?"
Liu Jingze shook his head. "Last time, we offered Tiantian a 5% salary increase to persuade us to sell the land, but she refused. Then, Yuan Shao and Mr. Lai approached her again, saying they appreciated her work ability and offered her the same salary as at her previous company. They wanted her to be the financial manager at the new company. I don't know if they were sincere or if they had other ulterior motives."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Tiantian's work ability is undeniable. She originally studied this major and has the relevant certificates. It's normal for Gu Yiyuan to want her to work at the company in Yanfu Town. He came here from Province C and needs his own people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to manage a company with more than 2,000 people. I heard that the vice president who is currently managing the company has been here since he invested here, and most of the company is his people."
Liu Liangjie said, "Who cares if he's sincere or not? Tiantian can go if she wants to, and she can stay if she doesn't want to. We should respect her decision. If she's not satisfied with the job, she can quit. Our logistics park will need staffing, so Tiantian can take whatever position she likes. Isn't that right, Zhao Ge?"
Liu Zhaosheng said: "Yes, we will sign the contract the day after tomorrow. It's up to you to decide who Jingze wants to invite then."
Liu Jingze said: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Godfather."
Su Tiantian, who was sleeping, didn't realize that she had become more confident.
