Chapter 79 Mom, I had a dream, it felt so real...
Wei Jun said he wanted to ask for three days off: "Master, I want to go to Shanghai." After saying that, he lowered his head.
"Go ahead," Song Zhao said. He rarely took leave these past few years, so he didn't even bother to ask what he was going to do. He simply granted him leave: "I've taken you out quite a few times these past few years. Be careful this time. If anything happens, go find your master's wife."
Jun was embarrassed. He was afraid of being beaten by his master. A few beatings wouldn't matter, but he was afraid his master would scold him for being heartless. But if he didn't say anything, wouldn't that be even more heartless?
His face flushed red: "Master, Xiaoyin sent me there, I..."
He was too ashamed to say anything. Xiaoyin called and asked if he wanted to attend her store's opening. He was so captivated that he agreed. Only then did he realize how he was going to tell his master.
Song Zhao was shocked and looked at Wei Jun in disbelief. This kid wouldn't lie to him, but why did Xiao Yin want to go to Wei Jun?
He thought it over and over again. In the past few years, Weijun and Xiaoyin had met few times, and had never spent time alone together. No, there was one time when he took Weijun on a business trip to Shanghai. He was in a meeting and asked Weijun to deliver something to Xiaoyin.
Looking at his apprentice, whom he treated like a son, Song Zhao suddenly raised his voice: "You just go over there because she tells you to? What are you thinking?"
Wei Jun knelt down with a thud: "Master, what can I think? I have no ideas at all. Maybe I'll go and see her shop, buy a few pieces of gold jewelry she designed, and then come back."
...
When Director Min, Wei Jun's father, heard about this, he came to find Song Zhao, feeling very guilty: "Wei Jun has always been an honest boy, what happened to him? How could he dare to have such unrealistic thoughts? Don't let him go to Shanghai, it's unrealistic."
Not long ago, Qingqing was worried about Tangyuan, saying that the two families were very different and she was afraid that Tangyuan would not handle it well. Now, her family and Weijun's family are the same. If there is a difference, it is the difference between Weijun and Xiaoyin personally, but that doesn't matter. When two people are together, there will always be one who is stronger, which can be the man or the woman.
Song Zhao was quite philosophical about it: "I'm not angry about that, I'm just angry at his cowardly behavior. He really did a good job for pushing Xiaoyin to the point of taking the initiative!"
That's great, though it was ironic; it didn't mean they were opposing the children's own decision.
Factory Director Min was inwardly grateful: "What is Xiaoyin thinking? When did she take a liking to Weijun? How come I didn't know?"
Yes, the child is grown up and has her own ideas. Perhaps she only wants to tell Qingqing the reasons.
...
Xiaoyin's jewelry store has outstanding designs. Everyone loves gold, and the styles are beautiful and festive. There were quite a few customers on the opening day. The gift she gave to Nie Qingqing was a set of gold-inlaid jade jewelry, which was very beautiful, and there was only one set available.
Nie Qingqing was overjoyed after putting it on. Tangyuan showed Xiaoyin a picture of his girlfriend and shamelessly begged, "Sister, can you design one for my girlfriend too? You can name your price."
Xiaoyin scoffed, "I haven't even seen the person, so why should I?"
Tangyuan: "You and Brother Weijun..."
Xiaoyin interrupted him: "Alright, one month. Come to the store to pick up the goods then."
Tangyuan chuckled, "My sister still loves me the most."
Nie Qingqing found it interesting and asked them, "What's wrong with Wei Jun? He owns shares in the electronics factory and is very handsome, but he just won't find a girlfriend. His mother is so worried about him."
Tangyuan didn't dare to chime in, and looked around: "Brother Jun said he's coming today, I'll go check at the mall entrance."
Is Wei Jun coming? Didn't Song Zhao arrange for him to come on a business trip? Nie Qingqing was very puzzled. What are these kids up to?
When Wei Jun arrived, he sent two large flower baskets, making the entrance even more lively. Seeing him standing there helplessly, Nie Qingqing understood what was going on.
After Xiaoyin pulled Weijun aside to talk, Nie Qingqing hurriedly asked Tangyuan, "Your sister and Weijun aren't dating, are they?"
Tangyuan laughed and pulled his mother aside to avoid the crowd, saying, "Not yet. My sister is asking right now. It was my sister who made it possible for Jun to come. Once they come out, Mom, you'll have another son-in-law."
Wei Jun is a good person, but Nie Qingqing doesn't understand why it's Wei Jun.
"Your sister has high standards. It's not that Weijun is bad, he's just too honest. I didn't expect your sister to like him."
Tangyuan understood perfectly: "Mom, think about it, if my sister were to find someone as capable as her, the two of them would be constantly scheming against each other, how could they possibly live together? Just like Zhiqi and me, if it were me and her cousin, haha, we'd be constantly trying to outmaneuver each other. Zhiqi is so much better, she's so guileless, and actually she's very reasonable, it's very easy to get along with her."
Nie Qingqing thought about it and agreed. Complementary relationships are essential for a good life. Two people who are too competitive and always trying to outdo each other will not have a good life together.
...
When Wei Jun came out blushing, and Xiao Yin had a smile on her face, Nie Qingqing knew that they had reached an agreement.
Wei Jun is a really nice young man. She asked Xiao Yin a question: Did she really like Wei Jun? Or was she just looking for someone to settle down with?
Xiaoyin's words put her at ease: "Mom, I don't need to settle for someone and I can still live a good life. I just think Weijun is good. I know him well, which saves me the trouble of getting to know him. I also like him. If I like him, it will definitely turn into family affection in the future. He agreed to all the conditions I mentioned, so he must really like me. If I can find someone who likes me, I can live a good life."
That's good. When it comes to life, Nie Qingqing had plenty of blind dates back then, and everyone got through it. As for Xiaoyin's generation, she can live however she wants, as long as she feels happy.
...
Xiaoyin and Weijun still rarely see each other. Song Zhao even discussed with Nie Qingqing: "It's not good to keep being separated like this. Once Xiaoyuan takes over the job, we'll have Weijun go to the Shanghai office."
Nie Qingqing thought there was no problem: "Let's see what Xiaoyin thinks. She and Weijun have already talked it over, so there's no need to worry."
...
Upon hearing that Xiaoyin and Weijun had gotten engaged, Shumei rushed over to inquire: "My family has been in such a turmoil lately that I haven't been able to keep track of my goddaughter. Is Xiaoyin really with Weijun?"
Because of the incident where Factory Director Yu fainted and underwent surgery, Yu Zhengmin's eldest daughter came to Shumei's house to cause trouble over the distribution of the inheritance. She even wanted to find out about Shumei's family's wealth, which led to Yu Zhengmin being discharged from the hospital.
Nie Qingqing said, "I still think Xiaoyin and Weijun are a good match. They're doing well now. What about your family? Is Yu Zhengmin's eldest daughter still causing trouble?"
"She's just making a scene! She knows the better off my family is, the more she makes a scene!"
Shumei chuckled coldly and cursed a few times, then sighed: "Luckily, Yu Zhengmin saw through it. I told you not to curse me. We divided the property and got a divorce certificate. We're divorced but still living together. Yu Zhengmin said that this way his daughter won't cause any trouble. The property under his name will be divided into three parts: his eldest daughter, me, and the child. Mine will only belong to me and the child. Anyway, it's impossible for the other side to take advantage of us anymore."
Nie Qingqing finally said a few words: "Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me!"
How could I possibly bring up divorce? I'd probably get advised against it anyway, so I'll just get divorced first.
Shumei hurriedly said, "Yu Zhengmin and I are living our lives as usual. With a divorce certificate in hand, there will be no property disputes in the future, and we can live our lives with more peace of mind."
That's true. The two talked for a while and mentioned the houses that were allocated to them in their hometown. The employees could buy them, and the prices were much more reasonable than those outside. Both families decided to buy them.
However, Shumei didn't mention her own name and said to Nie Qingqing, "That house was allocated by the factory back then, and his daughter will definitely fight for it. Her family is living a comfortable life now, but she's still so greedy. Daya is really pitiful. I was thinking, why not give that house to Daya? At least she'll have a place to live. If she really has nothing to eat, she can sell it to tide her over. When it comes to marriage in the future, she won't have to listen to her family's arrangements and will have some confidence. Besides, it's her daughter after all. Let's see what she says then!"
Daya is Yu Zhengmin's granddaughter. Yu Zhengmin used to provide her with living expenses. After she came of age, the money stopped, but Shumei still bought her clothes, shoes, tuition fees, and so on every year. This granddaughter is very close to Shumei and the others.
Nie Qingqing hugged her: "Yu Zhengmin should thank you. Thanks to you, Da Ya is not much worse than her brother."
Shumei said, "Putting yourself in her shoes, that child is also lovable. I just don't understand why her own parents and grandparents don't love her."
...
They found a time to go home and buy the house. Shumei paid for the house for Daya. Everyone in the old family compound praised her, saying that Shumei had done everything she could.
The following year, Xiao Yuan came to the electronics factory for an internship. He had returned to the factory during his winter and summer vacations and was very familiar with the factory's business. He asked his sister to help design a series of appearances and make innovative breakthroughs.
Tangyuan was the same; at the project meeting, they said they were going to develop real estate in the capital.
Is it so easy to get in without connections? Nie Qingqing told him, "If you can win the bid for the land and get the project team up and running, then you can go."
He actually managed to do it, and his father-in-law's family must have helped him with that.
Yuanda's first project in the capital city opened successfully and achieved good sales results. Tangyuan, Zhiqi, and their families told them that they were getting married.
This kid said he was busy with his career, but he ended up being the first to fall in love and the first to get married.
Nie Qingqing has no objections. How will the marriage proceed? Where will they live after the wedding? It will all be up to the woman's family.
The girl's parents naturally hoped that their daughter would stay in the local area. Tangyuan was busy with his career and had to go to several cities across the country. Zhiqi did not want to be separated from Tangyuan, and the two said that they would live wherever they worked.
Tangyuan also asked his sister, "Sis, why don't you and Weijun do it together with us?"
Xiaoyin didn't join in the fun: "Weijun and I have reached an agreement to have a destination wedding."
Tangyuan said regretfully, "Then you won't be able to collect the gift money."
Xiaoyin chuckled: "We definitely won't accept it from people we're not close to, so you'll have to pay double!"
...
Tangyuan's wedding planning: where to hold it? The bride's family has so many relatives. Neither Nie Qingqing nor Song Zhao's hometown is in Shenzhen, so they feel that the bride's family should take the lead. All the important relatives are going to the capital, including her brother and sister-in-law's family, Shumei's family, and Lehan has also returned.
She offered almost no opinions on the wedding arrangements, and the bride's parents became increasingly respectful, arranging a proper wedding for the two children. Tangyuan temporarily stayed at the project site in the capital to continue subsequent project development.
Two have been arranged at home, and there's still Xiaoyuan to go. Once I've finished worrying about him, I can finally relax completely.
Xiao Yuan wasn't in a hurry at all: "Mom, I really need to focus on my career so that Dad can relax as soon as possible. You don't know, he said he's been busy for the family and for us for more than ten years, and it's time for him to unload his burdens, enjoy life, and spend more time with you."
Now that Nie Qingqing has relieved half of her burden, she also hopes that Song Zhao can relax a bit, and said with a smile, "Alright, you decide for yourself."
Xiao Yuan lives in a single apartment in the factory, which has a canteen and his life is very well taken care of. He only goes home on weekends. It's only Thursday, but he actually came back early in the morning to knock on the door.
The child was covered in sweat from running, which startled Nie Qingqing. She asked anxiously, "What happened to you so early in the morning?"
Xiao Yuan, still shaken, gulped down a glass of water. Realizing the dream was real, he said, "Mom, I had a dream. It felt so real. I'm not crazy. You have to believe what I'm about to say!"
"This child, did you have such a frightening dream?" She patted her chest and laughed, "Alright, go ahead, I'm listening."
Xiao Yuan said very seriously, "Mom, be serious."
Song Zhao was quite serious: "Your mother believes everything you guys say. So, tell me, what did you dream about?"
