Aunt's restaurant.
At the dinner table, Zhang Minzhi took the initiative to ask about Li Na and Sun Han.
"Is this boy the younger brother of Sun Mei from our company? I heard that he grew up without parents and grew up with his sister. If you two get together, can you settle down in Hangzhou in the future?"
Zhang Minzhi asked vaguely and did not directly ask whether one could afford to buy a house.
Zheng Yan, who was sitting next to her, took over the conversation and said, "Auntie! You may not know that Sister Na's boyfriend works at Jiang Heng and is the deputy manager of a department. He has a very good salary and benefits. Yesterday, he was willing to spend more than 30,000 to buy Sister Na a bracelet."
Zhang Minzhi was not convinced: "How a married life will go can't be predicted by a bracelet. The most important thing is the character of the person. If the family is good, then that's the best. If the family is average, then it depends on whether the boy is ambitious. Otherwise, after you get married, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Liu Zhengqiang next to her glanced at her: "You are really worrying about nothing. How can it be bad for a young man to work in Jiang Heng? And he is the department leader."
Zhang Minzhi also felt that she had taken too many considerations. In Hangzhou, Jiangheng Group was indeed a company that everyone wanted to get into, but it was not something that you could get in just because you wanted to. The pre-employment assessment for individuals was very strict. After figuring this out, she immediately said to Li Na, "That's right. If she's a good person, you two should get along well."
Li Na nodded and replied, "Aunt, don't worry! I know. By the way! In a few days, on New Year's Day, Sun Han said he wanted to come visit you and your uncle."
"Sure. When you're coming, let me know in advance so I can ask the cook to prepare."
"I understand, aunt." Li Na replied with a smile.
After a while, Liu Zhengqiang thought of something, and he glanced at Li Na and said, "Li Na! Which department is Sun Han the deputy manager of in Jiang Heng? He must be very familiar with the senior leaders of Jiang Heng, right?"
"Jiang Heng has several industries. He is the deputy manager of the investment and development department of business development. He must be acquainted with the senior leaders."
Liu Zhengqiang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and his tone became a little more enthusiastic.
"That's great! Recently there's a rumor that Jiang Heng wants to buy our current office building. I'm still considering buying the management rights. Can you ask Sun Han if he can help my uncle-in-law find out whether Jiang Heng really wants to buy this office building?"
Li Na thought it was just a small matter of getting information, so she agreed without thinking: "Okay, don't worry, my uncle-in-law. He will come to pick me up later, and I will ask him for you."
"Well, if this is done, you will really help your uncle-in-law a lot!"
It seemed as if Li Na had helped him solve his troubles and she enthusiastically put some delicious food into her bowl.
Lu Xiaoqiao looked at all this and felt a little numb.
Today, her uncle-in-law had completely different attitudes towards her and Li Na. A few days ago, because she disagreed with the pursuit of his friend's son, he scolded her and said that she had high standards, especially the old lady, and even brought up the previous incident.
Sharon Cheung was also a bit disappointed and said she was too picky: "Xiao Qiao, your sister Na is already in love and is preparing to meet her parents during the Chinese New Year. How long do you have to wait to be picky?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless for a moment when asked the question. She smiled helplessly and didn't know how to answer.
"bite!"
WeChat prompts that there is a new message.
It was sent by Zhou Qizhen.
During this period of time, several messages came in. I don’t know what this man wants to do. I told him before that I would come to my aunt’s house for dinner today and asked him not to call.
As a result, the phone calls were stopped and text messages were sent instead.
Z: [Eat less. I'll take you to eat barbecue later.]
When Lu Xiaoqiao saw this message, her eyes lit up. She was about to type a reply when she was interrupted by Zhang Minzhi. She tapped the bowl with her chopsticks and said unhappily, "Who are you talking to when you hold your phone all night long?"
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao being criticized, Zheng Yan was somewhat gloating: "Yeah! Sister Xiaoqiao, you were texting on your phone all night, who were you chatting with? Do you have a boyfriend too?"
After listening to what Zheng Yan said, Zhang Minzhi frowned even more and looked at Lu Xiaoqiao, waiting for her explanation.
Lu Xiaoqiao really couldn't understand some of Zheng Yan's actions. She had never offended her, but she just kept staring at her.
Seeing her sarcastic expression, Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless. Could it be that her being in love was something shameful?
"Yes! It's my boyfriend."
Lu Xiaoqiao simply spread out her stall.
"When did you start dating? How did you meet?" Sharon Cheung asked her.
Everyone at the table was surprised by Lu Xiaoqiao's answer and turned their eyes to her, especially Zheng Yan, who didn't expect that what she said casually was actually true.
Lu Xiaoqiao locked the screen of her phone and turned it upside down on the table. She glanced at other people with the corner of her eyes, but only looked at Zhang Minzhi and said, "We just talked. We met through a friend." Lin Lin is her friend, and she and Zhou Qizhen did get to know each other through Lin Lin, so it wasn't a lie.
Sharon Cheung asked again: "Where are you from? What do you do?"
"He's from Hangzhou and doesn't have a stable job. His father runs a business and he's in charge of it now." Zhou Qizheng really doesn't have a stable job. He does everything. Jiang Heng did belong to his father before. As for the technology company, his aunt didn't ask him what kind of work he did.
When Li Na heard Lu Xiaoqiao say that the man was a native of Hangzhou, she glanced at her in surprise. Then, when she heard that the man did not have a stable job, her mood immediately turned from gloomy to bright. She curled her lips, thinking that he still had to rely on his family for food, which was nothing compared to Sun Han.
Zhang Minzhi was a little worried and said, "Bring it here for me to see if you have a chance."
Lu Xiaoqiao agreed, feeling lucky that her aunt didn't ask about his age. "Well, we just talked about it. I will definitely bring him here for her to see when I have the chance."
It's not that she wanted to hide it, but the completely unequal status gap between the two of them really didn't want to and didn't dare to expose it to others so early.
Regardless of whether they succeed or not, this relationship will always be subject to prejudice and belittlement, and she will always be the weaker party.
After dinner, Lu Xiaoqiao and Li Na did not stay for a while as usual. Zheng Yan said that she ate too much at night and it was a good opportunity to go downstairs to throw away the garbage to digest the food, so the three of them went downstairs together.
Zheng Yan walked in front of Lu Xiaoqiao holding Li Na's arm.
"Sister Na, will your boyfriend come to pick you up later?"
"Yes, I'm already waiting outside the community."
Zheng Yan turned around and asked Lu Xiaoqiao: "Your boyfriend didn't pick you up? Does your boyfriend have a car?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao ignored her, she continued to mock: "Hey! Lu Xiaoqiao, was that fake bracelet bought for you by your boyfriend?"
"Can you please stop trying to learn everything from Sister Na and compete with her? She looks disgusting, and the way she does things is also disgusting."
Lu Xiaoqiao listened to Zheng Yan's non-stop chattering since she left the house, and finally stopped walking unable to bear it anymore. She stood on the stairs and looked down at her.
"Zheng Yan! Is your skin itchy again?"
