Chapter 591 A Special Affection?

Chairman Zhen realized that he could not sever his connection with Lu Qiaoge.

He'll regret it if it's interrupted.

Therefore, he has always strongly supported Zhen Xi's cooperation with the other side.

Zhen Xi naturally understood her father's current thoughts. The old man was right to think that way. He knew better than anyone what Luo Ziwen was up to, since the two of them were in contact privately.

Luo Ziwen treated his father this way in order to force Chairman Zhen to make a statement.

Otherwise, Father would pretend to be confused.

He was intelligent and wise when he was young, but now that he's old, he's not only obsessed with women, but he also doesn't understand how to handle them.

Besides Secretary Xue, there seem to be several young ladies in their twenties.

Maybe all men are like this?

Are older people more inclined to date younger women to show off their youth?

Zhen Xi readily agreed.

However, before he could even get up, Chairman Zhen waved his hand, signaling Zhen Xi to sit down, as he had something to say.

Zhen Xi looked over with a questioning gaze.

Chairman Zhen thought for a moment and said, "You still don't have a girlfriend. Your Uncle Cheng called me yesterday, and we talked for a long time. It seems he's planning to introduce you to his youngest daughter... His youngest daughter is studying in the US. She's a good person and very outstanding, and she already holds an important position in the company."

What wasn't said was: if the two families were to unite through marriage, their cooperation in certain areas would reach new heights, bringing only benefits and no harm to the Zhen family's business.

Besides, Lao Cheng's daughter is very picky and has always been single; ordinary men don't catch her eye.

When Lao Cheng talked to him yesterday, he never expected that Lao Cheng's daughter would actually take a liking to his third son.

Chairman Zhen was very satisfied with Miss Cheng, but unfortunately, he could no longer control this third son.

Whether it works or not depends on his own willingness.

So Chairman Zhen continued, “Miss Cheng is very beautiful, which perfectly matches your aesthetic. We can talk about marriage later. You can try dating her now. And Ah Xi, look at people your age. Some of them already have several children and they all have girlfriends. If you stay single all the time, many people will think you are very strange.”

Zhen Xi didn't expect his father to call him over to talk about this. He listened patiently and didn't confront him directly like he used to.

He has also grown a lot in the past year.

He said in a gentle voice, "Right now, I'm mainly focused on my career, and I need to solidify and advance my cooperation with Director Lu, even though some people look down on the partnership. But Daddy, you also need to know that there are many people who want to establish connections with them."

So I don't focus my energy on that. Besides, it all comes down to fate. When the time is right, even if I don't want to find a girlfriend, I can't stop it.

"Don't worry about it. I'm very busy too; I need to go see Luo Ziwen, so I can't keep you company any longer. I'll come see you again when I have time."

After saying this, Zhen Xi stood up and strode away from the old house.

Chairman Zhen was not surprised.

Secretary Xue, who had walked over unnoticed, stood behind him with her large pregnant belly and said meaningfully, "Chairman Zhen, the Third Young Master is very picky! I don't think even the socialites of our Hong Kong city could catch his eye."

Chairman Zhen remained silent.

But he also felt that his son was indeed very picky. His eldest and second sons, at his age, had probably had countless girlfriends.

His eldest son already had two children by the time his third son was that age.

However, precisely because his third son didn't have a girlfriend and had his illness cured, many old friends and business partners actually took a liking to him.

Old Cheng was one of the top figures back in the day.

Even now, she is no less capable than him.

After thinking for a moment, Chairman Zhen said, "It's better to be picky. Not just any woman can be Ah Xi's girlfriend."

Secretary Xue pursed her lips dismissively, but then whispered, "If that's what Zhen Xi thinks, that's fine. I'm just worried that he might have a crush on someone else."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhen suddenly turned around and asked Secretary Xue, "What do you mean by that? Who are you referring to? Do you know anything about it?"

Secretary Xue smiled and said, "Chairman Zhen, do you really not understand what I mean?"

Chairman Zhen frowned: "You're not talking about Factory Director Lu Qiaoge, are you?"

Secretary Xue's smile deepened: "Speaking of which, I've seen countless beautiful girls in my life. There are quite a few beautiful female celebrities, but to be honest, I've never seen anyone as beautiful and elegant as Lu Qiaoge before."

But she already has a boyfriend, and he's a soldier. I'm worried because Axi hasn't had a girlfriend yet.

Regardless, he is my good friend's son, and despite all the misunderstandings he has about me, I genuinely care about him.

Chairman Zhen nodded: "I know you care about him, but don't talk about this to outsiders. Director Lu is not only a partner, but also a trade representative from the mainland. She has a lot of influence in many situations."

In particular, Lu Qiaoge also knew Old Sun.

Chairman Zhen glanced at Secretary Xue's belly and said somewhat seriously, "I'm planning to go there in a few days. You stay home and rest well, and don't tell anyone else what you just said."

Secretary Xue said, "How could I tell others about something like this? I'm just reminding you so that A-Xi won't lose control of her emotions and do something bad. But I think A-Xi is more mature now and shouldn't do anything out of line, right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Chairman Zhen slowly said, "I will remind him when I have the chance; you should not get involved."

——

Lu Qiaoge's proposed project to reproduce cultural relics was quickly approved in the form of an official document.

It's progressing very quickly in Beidu.

Lu Qiaoge contacted her three current business partners.

She was acting as a clerk from the Foreign Trade Bureau when she discussed cooperation with the other party.

If these three people are interested, someone can be sent to talk to them, and the meeting place will be set in Guangcheng.

When I called Chuhe, he immediately agreed.

There has always been a large market for replica cultural relics. Although he has never done it before, he knows it can be very profitable.

For a time, the Nanyang government refused to import goods because of a power struggle between two factions.

After one side won, it refused to accept any goods exported from the Dragon Kingdom.

But now that faction has been ousted thanks to his covert manipulation.

He said with a smile, "Director Lu, even if you hadn't made this call, I was planning to call you after I sorted out my current matters and we could discuss cooperation in this area... Replicating cultural relics is one aspect, but I need a large quantity of porcelain. Do you have any suitable factories you could recommend to me?"
