Chapter 8 I'm from Shandong

After the two of them left, Lu Hao took the time to call his boss, "Boss, the matter this morning has been resolved, and both parties have reached a settlement. The other party is... Shen Lei and his wife are divorced, and he is in a bad mood now. It just so happens that he hasn't taken his annual leave this year. I want to ask for a leave for him to relax and come back to work in a few days. I will help him with the things he has on hand!"

"Thank you for your hard work. You don't have to come to work today. Comfort him more. If you need any help from the company, just let me know!" The leader was quite understanding and approved the leave for them both promptly.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Yingjie took Shen Lei back to his home. On the way, he bought some cold dishes and beer. When they got home, they started drinking without saying anything. Drinking some wine at this time can make people feel more relaxed.

After drinking two bottles, Shen Lei started talking, constantly recounting the good memories he had with Xie Meilan. Lu Hao just listened quietly, occasionally refilling Shen Lei's glass.

When it was almost time to get off work, Ma Yingjie called Shen Lei's sister Shen Lin. It would be better to have relatives around at times like this.

Not long after, Shen Lin and her husband Na Wei rushed over. Shen Lin was so heartbroken to see her brother crying like that. Na Wei opened a bottle of wine and drank with Shen Lei.

After drinking a few more bottles, Shen Lei couldn't stand being drunk anymore, so Ma Yingjie and Na Wei helped him to the guest bedroom to rest.

Shen Lin wanted to take him back to her home, but Lu Hao said that Shen Lei had finally fallen asleep and it would be best if he didn't get shaken around. Shen Lin thought so and helped make the bed.

Lu Hao has a higher level of education than Shen Lei, joined the company earlier than him, has a higher rank and salary than him, and has slightly more provident fund and rental subsidies, so he rents a two-bedroom house and has no problem living with one more person.

After coming out, Shen Lin thanked him repeatedly, "Director Lu, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long it would take Shen Lei to figure it out! My brother has been a bit stubborn since he was a child. We were worried about what would happen. Now that he can cry, we feel much more relieved!"

"It's not a big deal if we talk it out! It's just that my wife has changed her mind! If you have time in the next few days, spend more time with Shen Lei and talk to him about happy things. He will get better slowly!"

"I'll introduce him to someone when the time comes. Once a new relationship starts, it won't take long for him to forget about Xie Meilan!"

Shen Lin looked embarrassed, "Shen Lei doesn't even have a house now, it may not be easy for him to find a partner!"

Ma Yingjie chuckled, "You guys are underestimating Shen Lei. Why is it so difficult to get married in Beijing? Isn't it just the three huge obstacles of housing, education, and medical care? In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not a problem for Shen Lei!"

"House, the company will provide housing in the future. I estimate that it will be Shen Lei's turn in five or six years!"

"As for education, Shen Lei has a Beijing hukou and works in a central government agency. When he has children in the future, they can go directly to public schools from kindergarten to junior high school. The company will help arrange it! And it will definitely be a good school!"

"Medical care, his reimbursement rate is much higher than yours!"

"Since ancient times, officials in Beijing have lived a hard life. It is impossible for Shen Lei to make a lot of money in a short period of time, but there is no reason to let officials in Beijing starve to death. So his life is just a little bit hard at the moment, and it will be better in two years!"

Shen Lin was not comforted by these words. "I told Xie Meilan these words. How much is a Beijing hukou worth? How much is a stable job with an expected rising income worth? But Xie Meilan didn't listen and divorced him anyway."

"Young girls nowadays have no patience at all. They don't look into the future, but only think about having a good life right away, which is exactly what Shen Lei can't give them!"

"How can such a good thing happen in the world?" Ma Yingjie sneered, "They are all waiting for pie to fall from the sky, but they don't even think about how big their faces are and how they can attract those good men!"

"And there are still girls who don't care about economic conditions! Let's take our company as an example. Last year, Shen Lei didn't hesitate at all to take out all his savings to treat his mother-in-law's illness. Many older people were envious."

"These people are all from Beijing. They have several houses at home and they don't want their children to be rich. As long as they are filial and sensible, and can live a stable life, that's enough! They kept saying how sorry they were and why they didn't meet Shen Lei earlier, otherwise they would definitely introduce their daughters to him!"

"I can guarantee that within a month at the latest, someone will introduce Shen Lei to someone!"

With Lu Hao's understanding of the employees in this unit, he could even guess who would come first. Xie Meilan felt that Shen Lei was useless, but in the eyes of some people, Shen Lei was a popular commodity.

Where can you find such a good son-in-law who has a stable job, is filial and sensible, and doesn't like to make trouble? "Isn't this impossible? I'm not saying that my brother is not good, but but..." Shen Lin blurted out, and Na Wei was a little unconvinced.

Neither of them has had much dealings with the system, so how would they know what people within the system think?

"Think about it, what kind of son-in-law do the old workers in the system want the most? They are in a good time, with welfare housing distribution and house demolition. This series of good things have happened to them. Who doesn't have a few houses at home?"

"Since material conditions are not a problem, then they need to consider other aspects! They hope that when they are old, there will be someone who can take care of them steadily, and they hope that their daughter can meet a son-in-law who is not after their house!"

"Doesn't Shen Lei just meet these conditions?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If you don't like the personalities of girls from Beijing, I can introduce Shen Lei to a girl from my hometown! People from my hometown like civil servant sons-in-law the most!"

"Director Lu, where is your hometown?" Na Wei asked subconsciously. Lu Hao's Mandarin was very standard and he couldn't understand it at all.

"I'm from Shandong! In my hometown, if someone finds a son-in-law who works in a central government agency and goes to his father-in-law's house during the New Year, if he doesn't start eating first, the others will have to endure it no matter how hungry they are!" It has to be said that the identity assigned to Ma Yingjie by the system is really suitable.

"Don't be afraid of you two laughing at me, but since I passed the civil service exam, there have been so many people in my hometown who want to introduce me to potential partners! They are all very good-looking, well-educated, and have a good family background! If I didn't have some ideas about my career and didn't want to delay others, I would have been married a long time ago!"

"As long as I spread the word that there is such a person as Shen Lei, someone will definitely ask me to introduce Shen Lei to their daughter! And I guarantee the conditions will be good. Parents of ordinary girls would be too embarrassed to ask for it!"

Shen Lin and Na Wei looked towards the second bedroom at the same time. Is our brother really that popular?
