After lunch, Huo Yingjie returned to his workplace.
Old Master Huo and Old Man Qi returned to the Huo family's old residence.
The two hadn't seen each other for many years and now had so much to talk about. They wouldn't let Old Qi go home until nightfall, chatting about the present and reminiscing about the past.
Old Master Huo even contacted all his comrades-in-arms in Yanjing and had a get-together at home. He was living a very comfortable life!
Huo Yingjie could rest assured. He produced some more items, and after the higher-ups reviewed them, he sent them to Hong Kong for Qian Zhigao to apply for patents.
They made a fortune; the Swiss bank's money kept growing.
When Huo Yingjie returned home that evening, he told He Tiantian about what had happened that day.
"That's good. At least we don't have to worry about doing good deeds anymore," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Ever since we said we would do something for the veterans, Grandpa and Grandpa Qi have been very happy. It's good that the old folks are at ease."
Since they thought of those lovely people and had the ability to help, they should do it without hesitation.
“Yes,” Huo Yingjie said. “You can never earn all the money in the world. You can always earn more after you’ve spent it.”
“That’s what I think too,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “By the way, Brother Dajun told me that he has started promoting Sanfengqiao nationwide, and his business is growing bigger and bigger.”
"Brother Dajun, are you only thinking about opening stores and not about opening factories?" Huo Yingjie asked. "After all, freshly made products in stores can't be stored for very long. If it's for travel or to send to relatives and friends far away, it won't work. But vacuum packaging can perfectly solve this problem."
Hearing this, He Tiantian nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, this is also a very good direction for development. Next time I see Brother Dajun, I'll mention it to him and ask him to pay attention to it as well."
"This is a project with great potential, so we must put in a lot of effort," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "Once the Sanfengqiao brand is established, the market will be even broader."
"Okay, I got it." He Tiantian replied, feeling grateful to Huo Yingjie for pointing out another path for Sanfengqiao's development.
"Grandma, Grandpa, my mother wants to visit you. Do you have time so I can make arrangements?" Tang Qian said cautiously. Although Qi Zhengmin's elders had agreed to their relationship, in his mind, if his parents hadn't met, the marriage was still a long way off!
Grandma Qi smiled. She and the old lady of the Tang family had already met before, though they had only mentioned him vaguely last time. They had a pleasant conversation and left a good impression.
"Hehe, young man, are you in a hurry?" Old Qi asked with a chuckle, joking from the side.
Tang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Qi, I'm anxious. I'm almost thirty. People my age already have kids who are old enough to run errands. Besides, it's rare to meet a wonderful woman who has captured my heart and whom I want to spend my life with, so I'm even more anxious."
"Hehe." Old Qi chuckled and glanced at the person in charge beside him.
Previously at Jinxiu Villa, Brother Tang and Sister-in-law Tang warmly hosted him, repeatedly asking him to speak well of them during the meal. They were very sincere, and I also trust their character.
However, Qi Zhengmin is not his biological granddaughter after all, so there are some things he cannot decide.
Besides, his wife wouldn't want him to make such a hasty decision.
At that time, Old Man Qi vaguely said that if he wanted to get a daughter-in-law and a grandson soon, he would have to start with Qi Zhengmin's grandmother.
It seemed like Granny Qi was doing it on purpose; she went out to play every day, and the Tang family would also come to visit.
By the end of October, Tang Qian, urged by his parents, came over to sound out their intentions.
Tang Qian was a little nervous, afraid that his grandmother would say again, "Wait a little longer."
Qi Zhengmin was in the kitchen, somewhat anxious, and kept peeking out to look outside.
"Alright, come help me pick the vegetables," He Tiantian said. "Grandma isn't a monster, she can't eat Tang Qian. She's not even married yet, and she's already thinking about siding with outsiders!"
"Sister Tian, stop making sarcastic remarks." Qi Zhengmin wrinkled his nose and said, "You like your brother-in-law so much, but you might not even be as fond of him as I am."
"Hehe, nonsense." He Tiantian firmly denied that she was also siding with outsiders. "By the way, have you put those promises Tang Qian made into writing?"
Qi Zhengmin covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "The prenuptial agreement has been signed. Grandma saw it last night and was very satisfied. She shouldn't make things difficult for Tang Qian today, right?"
"Knowing it won't cause any trouble, why are you still so worried?" He Tiantian retorted. "I think you're just worrying unnecessarily. By the way, what did you all say in the agreement?"
"Actually, I'm a very kind person and wouldn't be so harsh, so I changed some of the clauses. If the couple divorces due to incompatibility, the joint property goes to their children; if there are no children, the woman gets 70% and the man gets 30%. If the spouse is unfaithful, the guilty party leaves with nothing," Qi Zhengmin explained. "How about that, fair?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's fair. This is also to give face to the Tang family's patriarch and matriarch, so they can't use this against you in the future."
"Yes, that was the reason my grandmother and I started from," Qi Zhengmin nodded. "I'm not young anymore, and I also like Tang Qian, so I wanted to try marriage with him."
"I'm glad you're happy." He Tiantian smiled. "You're an adult now, you know what you're doing, and Tang Qian has temporarily gained everyone's approval. You two should focus on building your lives together."
"Yes, I will. If I encounter any problems, I will ask you for advice," Qi Zhengmin said. Every time she saw He Tiantian, she felt envious of how sweet Huo Yingjie's marriage had remained after so many years, as if they were still newlyweds.
“Sure, as long as you’re in Yanjing, come find me if you need anything.” He Tiantian agreed. The two were good friends, and she sincerely hoped that Qi Zhengmin could be alright.
Grandma Qi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Sure, come over and visit when you have time."
Tang Qian was very happy to receive a positive answer from Grandma Qi.
I skipped lunch and went straight home to prepare things for tomorrow's marriage proposal with my parents and matchmaker.
Back home, Mrs. Tang and Mr. Tang were overjoyed to hear that the other party had agreed to their marriage proposal. The things they had prepared beforehand could finally be put to use.
The next morning, accompanied by the two matchmakers, Mr. and Mrs. Huo, Mr. and Mrs. Tang, as well as Tang Qian's two older brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters and brothers-in-law, all came over.
A large group of more than a dozen people.
Their actions demonstrate the utmost respect they place on Qi Zhengmin.
Grandma Qi was very satisfied with the scene. Under everyone's watchful eyes, after much deliberation, she finally agreed to her granddaughter Qi Zhengmin's marriage to Tang Qian.
