Waking Up Again, Became a Post-50s

Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.

What was ther...

Chapter 311 Power

It's not that he's worthless, but he's probably the best-off among all your male friends!

"Madam Shen, you truly have keen insight!"

"Thank you for the compliment. If I hadn't had this skill back then, how could I have fought against the enemy?"

Sister-in-law, you should think it over carefully! Don't make a decision too soon.

Although they were both busy with work, girls from good families could have anything they wanted, let alone girls from well-mannered families.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now."

“Wait for me, I’m leaving too. People like this look down on people like us. It’s better to leave.”

"But your older brother and I are busy with work, where would we find the time to meet other girls?"

These two were introduced to me by colleagues and friends.

"Isn't that simple? My second sister and Yingying work at a military hospital, and there are plenty of girls there!"

If you don't want them to hire military doctors or nurses, I can always ask a friend to introduce you to girls who do other jobs.

I have no shortage of friends; they come from all walks of life.

"Really? If that's the case, that's wonderful. Our family doesn't care about social status, as long as the girl's parents are good people and the girl can distinguish right from wrong."

It's impossible to say that a person can live a life without ever having any flaws.

"Sister-in-law, as long as you don't care about social status, there are plenty of good girls out there. I'll ask around for you later."

Putting aside everything else, the children of my old friends from the military compound are definitely not going to be anything less than outstanding.

"That's right! How could I forget about that? Mianmian, don't you keep in touch with those people who came back from the countryside?"

Let's see if they have any suitable girls in their families. We currently have seven or eight boys in our family who are single.

I used to like boys, but now that we're all grown up, they've all become older men.

However, on the other hand, even though their parents don't work for the government or other large organizations, they are still the eldest children.

But with Mianmian's help over the years, life has been incredibly prosperous.

Moreover, most of their children went on to university, and those who weren't doing so well in school were sent to the army by their father at a young age.

Things are different now than before; children have more options now.

"That's really great. People whose parents grew up in the military are bound to have good children. I'll leave the rest to you, sister-in-law."

"Sure! What's the trouble? Just don't blame me for ruining their marriage."

"Look at what you're saying, sister-in-law! You're only doing this for their own good. Don't I know you? If there weren't real problems between their two families, you would never have spoken so directly about it."

"It's good that my sister-in-law understands!"

Isn't there a problem? And the problem is even more serious than what I just mentioned.

Based on what we know so far, their families have been placed under surveillance by relevant departments.

Moreover, the fact that they plan to arrange a marriage with the Shen family in such a short period of time makes their intentions quite clear.

Isn't the goal simply to rely on the Shen family to weather this crisis? But perhaps they should also consider whether the Shen family is willing to accept it.

He also planned to please the old lady and get her to agree to the children's marriage, so that Cheng Xiang's engagement and marriage would proceed smoothly.

Once their family's affairs are exposed, even if they don't interfere in their in-laws' affairs, they absolutely cannot abandon their daughter.

As a result, the Shen family had to take care of the rest of their family members.

It's fair to say that if these two marriages were to go through, they would bring no benefit whatsoever, only trouble to their own families!

Even though neither my elder brother's family nor the Shen family are involved in politics, we still have to consider the old man's reputation and the people around him to some extent.

Moreover, the Shen family is not short of money. Even if the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, aren't there still elderly people living there?

Their thought was simply that they wouldn't want to see the elderly person in a difficult situation, and they would try to help them in some way.

But what they didn't expect was that I would investigate both of their families.

I never expected that a friend in the business world would give me the information.

Aren't they friends? The friends who came to my child's wedding this time are basically from businesses I invested in earlier, even if I only own some shares.

However, without my initial investment, the other party's project would not have progressed so quickly.

Therefore, in their eyes, they see themselves as their mentors, and they pay more attention to matters related to themselves.

Don't forget, if I make a mistake on my end, it will also have some impact on them.

Moreover, many companies now plan to go public, so they can't afford to be disturbed by the slightest disturbance.

"Wife, have you really wronged her?"

"Hmm! How could this be fake? After finding out where they were from, I called a friend there to ask for help."

"We should thank them properly!"

"You don't need to worry about that. We'll thank them. Whenever there's a good project, we'll all work together."

This is much better than inviting them to dinner, and besides, people don't have much time to eat together these days.

Actually, it's not that easy to schedule a meeting, since everyone is busy.

They were able to attend some weddings only because they had taken time out of their busy schedules.

"Are they even busier than us soldiers?"

"There's no way to compare them. Everyone is busy with different things. Don't be fooled by the fact that you guys are either training or doing other things every day."

But what we need to consider is how to improve the company's efficiency and how to pay employees more wages.

After all, they also need to support their families, and they also face a series of problems such as suppression from their competitors.

It's important to understand that even though our country has a large market, there are only so many people using it, and even with exports, the problems we face are not insignificant.

Let's not forget that the international situation is constantly changing, and many countries are still imposing restrictions on this and that.

Even if they maintain good relations with our country, as things stand, don't they still have to listen to the Americans?

"Now that you mention it, our country's defense capabilities are still too weak."

"This is considered weak? Look at other countries, which have developed into what they are today in just a few decades."

If you ask me, it's not that our national defense capabilities are weak, but rather that they've been deceiving themselves and are afraid to admit it!

Otherwise, why would they always be doing things that skirt the edge of legality? If they were truly capable, would they need to test the waters?

"That's true. Putting aside other things, some of the heavy weapons I know of weren't even shown at the last military parade."

If they still dare to do this after giving away another third, then they really have a death wish.
