During this period, Zhang Long was extremely busy, like a wound-up machine, running non-stop.
Many significant events occurred during this period.
The two century-old oxen he had been longing for finally arrived at the port and were successfully added to his garage, adding two more treasures to his luxurious collection.
The company's first film has also successfully wrapped up filming and is now in the intense post-production stage.
However, Zhang Long had no time to pay attention to these things. He was restless and nervous all day long, like a student about to face a major exam.
The reason was simple: his engagement date with Hu Xinxin was drawing ever closer.
Although the old man and woman took care of many matters related to the engagement, Zhang Long, as one of the parties involved, could not stand aside and ignore everything.
During this period, Hu Xinxin had already gone to Beijing to participate in a month-long training program.
This is clearly a prelude to her impending promotion. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be promoted to deputy section chief once she returns from her studies.
If Zhang Long's cousin, Zhang Kang, knew about this rapid promotion, he would probably cry himself to sleep in the bathroom.
Indeed, Zhang Kang ultimately failed to get promoted; the promotion spot was taken by someone who was usually quiet and unassuming.
However, the organization also gave him a small compensation, appointing him as the deputy captain of a squad under the local customs inspection department.
Although he is just a minor deputy captain, this position is usually held by deputy section-level cadres, which means that he will have priority for promotion in the future.
Principal Wang is really going all out this time, diving headfirst into the fierce competition with Chen Ou. He's really determined.
Just as the saying goes, today we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide life and death!
However, with Zhang Long joining the fray and helping Principal Wang fill in the gaps, the two sides are no longer on the same level.
Their company's first shared power bank, "Hongyou," was successfully launched on July 1st.
This made Chen Ou, who had been secretly pleased with himself for seizing the initiative for two months, instantly lose his smile, and the smugness on his face vanished without a trace.
The main reason is that Principal Wang's Red Grapefruit power bank, in terms of both performance and appearance, completely outclasses the power banks from the Jiedian series.
Principal Wang's style of doing things is also quite "hardcore," to the point that he "goes to 'declare war' wherever there are Street Power banks."
Anyway, the market is only so big. Jiedian has already worked hard to develop the market in the early stages, but Principal Wang just "borrowed" it and reaped the benefits.
This infuriated Chen Ou, who launched a tirade on Weibo, accusing Wang Sicong of being an inhuman son.
Principal Wang would never tolerate him.
Two wealthy businessmen, each with considerable assets, engaged in a fierce war of words on the public platform of Weibo.
Interestingly, whether intentionally or by pure coincidence, their verbal sparring left the other giants who originally wanted to suppress Street Power feeling cheated.
Meanwhile, Principal Wang's Red Grapefruit Charging has made a fortune, standing out in this fierce competition.
After all, consumers aren't stupid. With a power bank like the Red Grapefruit that looks great and charges quickly, who would bother going to Street Power? Sorry, we're not familiar with them.
While Principal Wang and Chen Ou were making headlines, Zhang Long quietly flew to Beijing.
As it turns out, marrying a noblewoman from an extraordinary family is by no means an easy task.
Zhang Long has been in Beijing for half a month, and his life has been anything but easy during this time, as he is surrounded by a group of people every day for "socializing".
Even though he had a decent alcohol tolerance, he was still forced to drink until he was completely drunk three times, leaving him feeling extremely unwell.
When Hu Xinxin learned of this, she was heartbroken and her anger flared up instantly. She almost issued a "kill order" in the industry to teach those who had forced Zhang Long to drink a lesson.
In her heart, Zhang Long was the man she had chosen, and she couldn't let these people bully him like this.
Fortunately, Hu Xinxin had enough influence in the industry to allow Zhang Long to rest peacefully for more than a week, during which time no one dared to bother him.
And so, the days passed by, and finally the day of their engagement arrived.
Zhang's parents arrived in Beijing two days in advance, and his younger brother Zhang Hu also came along.
After all, inviting other people might be inconvenient, but I definitely have to bring my younger brother to see the world.
Although there may be many obstacles in other matters, it is not a problem to ask Hu Chao to help arrange his younger brother's schedule.
Hu Chao took this matter very seriously and personally intervened to ask everyone not to disturb the Zhang family.
On the day of their engagement, before dawn, Zhang Long was pulled out of bed early to begin preparing for the most important moment of his life.
The Hu Family Courtyard in Beijing, a historic courtyard house, has been renovated and given a brand new look.
The vermilion gate was decorated with auspicious golden "double happiness" characters, and the stone lions at the entrance were also tied with bright red ribbons.
In the courtyard of the siheyuan, an exquisite shed was erected, and inside the shed hung magnificent palace lanterns. Soft light shone down, illuminating the joyful laughter that filled the courtyard.
Today's wedding banquet is being held in this courtyard house. The main reason is that the old lady is quite stubborn. She has raised and doted on her granddaughter, and she definitely wants to give her face when she gets engaged.
What could be more prestigious than her and the old man?
Zhang Long didn't care; anywhere was fine. Today, he and Hu Xinxin were both wearing bright red Hanfu outfits.
The handsome men and beautiful women made for a very festive occasion.
He completely suppressed Hu Xinxin's group of girlfriends, and seeing their sour expressions, Zhang Long couldn't help but laugh.
Grandpa and Grandma Hu were the most senior members of the family and sat at the head of the table.
Then came the elders from both sides, all with smiles of satisfaction on their faces.
Hu Xinxin's father, with a stern expression yet unable to hide his love for his daughter, gently patted Zhang Long's shoulder and said, "Ah Long, from now on, Xinxin is entrusted to you. You must treat her well."
Zhang Long nodded quickly and solemnly replied, "Uncle, rest assured, I will treat Xin Xin well for the rest of my life and never let her suffer the slightest grievance."
Mr. Hu frowned and pointed at the brat in front of him.
Zhang Long realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Dad, I was wrong! I spoke too fast!"
Hearing Zhang Long change his tune, Hu's father beamed and teased, "It's really hard to hear you change your tune, you brat."
Then it was Hu's mother's turn. Zhang Long stepped forward to offer her tea and said, "Mom!"
Mother Hu accepted the teacup and then took two red envelopes from the side and handed them to Zhang Long.
Next up was Hu Xinxin's performance.
Since the engagement banquet was held in this courtyard house, the guests were naturally all wealthy and influential.
They were all related to the Hu family. Most of the elders came over, asked for a drink, and then left. In the end, it was the younger generation who stayed behind, since young people tend to be more relaxed when they're having fun.
