Chapter 409: Agree strategically, but also have to be tactical, don't let yourself get cheap



Hearing her mother's question, Ye Fengyi told her the information she had read online before concluding: "I looked through the Weibo accounts of those big stars and confirmed that Master Jiang's matchmaking experience is real. So many big stars and wealthy people believe in Master Jiang's matchmaking ability. There is no reason for me, a common person at the bottom of society, not to believe it."

Ye's father and mother were shocked after hearing this. It was really hard to imagine that there was a matchmaker like Master Jiang in the world who could predict marriages. This was really good news for unmarried men and women!

So, Mother Ye showed her "head of the family" aura and made the decision, "My daughter, marrying into such a well-off family is a blessing from your previous life. I originally thought that our family's conditions were too different from theirs, and marrying into a wealthy family would not necessarily bring happiness. But now with Master Jiang's guarantee, there is nothing to worry about, and you can marry into the family with peace of mind."

Father Ye reminded quietly: "We still have to see what kind of person he is."

Mother Ye glanced at him and said, "Why, are you the only one who doubts Master Jiang's ability?"

Father Ye quickly explained: "I don't doubt Master Jiang's ability. What I mean is that my daughter should meet him and see what kind of person he is before making a decision."

Ye's mother retorted, "Aren't you talking nonsense? We must meet. Even if we agree to this marriage strategically, we must be careful tactically and not cheapen ourselves."

"puff!"

Ye Fengyi burst into laughter. She found that her mother was really talented. She could even figure out strategies and tactics for a blind date.

Father Ye was an honest man. He didn't mind being criticized by his wife. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, I have no objection."

Ye's mother ignored him and looked at her daughter and asked, "My daughter, what do you think?"

Ye Fengyi said: "Then let's meet and talk first."

Mother Ye nodded and said, "Well, let's do this. When Master Jiang comes back, let him arrange a blind date."

Speaking of this, a customer came to eat spicy hot pot, so Ye's father went over to greet the guest.

Not long after, Master Jiang also slowly came over.

When Master Jiang approached, Ye's mother said directly: "Master Jiang, we have just discussed it and feel that your client's conditions are indeed excellent. You can arrange for our two families to meet and see if we are destined to become relatives."

Jiang Feng nodded and smiled: "No problem, you can decide the meeting time, Auntie."

Mother Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set it for tomorrow. Either 1 to 4 pm or 7 to 10 pm is fine. Master Jiang, you can make the arrangements."

"OK, let's exchange phone numbers. I'll call you once I've agreed on a specific meeting time."

"Okay, my phone number is..."

After exchanging contact information, Jiang Feng said goodbye and left.

After achieving financial freedom, everyone has their own way of living. Some travel around the world, some live a life of luxury, some party every night, and some work day and night for their careers.

There are also people like Zhu Xinghui, who plays mahjong and drinks with friends every day.

Zhu's mother's life is also very simple. She gets her hair done every now and then, goes to a SPA for maintenance, or goes shopping for shoes, bags, clothes, etc., which are things that wealthy women often do.

In addition, Chu's mother has another hobby, which is playing cards with several aunts in the village.

They don't gamble money when playing cards, they mainly play Tractor (Upgrade), which is also one of the very few poker games that can be played with great interest without gambling money.

Today, after lunch, Chu's mother did not go out, but as usual, she invited a few aunts to play tractor together, chatting about family matters while playing cards. This is also a very interesting thing for aunts like Chu's mother.

Playing cards is one of the fastest ways to kill time. Before I knew it, it was past four o'clock. Just as the game was about to end, the cell phone that Chu's mother had placed on the table suddenly rang.

If it was any other call, Mother Chu would not be in a hurry to answer it. She would have to finish the game first to avoid spoiling everyone's fun. But she glanced at the screen of her phone and found that it was Master Jiang who called, so she had to answer it.

"This is a call from Master Jiang. Please wait for me."

As she spoke, Mother Chu picked up her phone and walked over to the side, answering the call and saying, "Master Jiang, hello!"

Several neighbor ladies looked at each other, curious about who this Master Jiang was and why he made their neighbor so serious.

"Hello, Auntie. I have found a suitable partner for your son. Let me tell you about the girl's situation. If you think it's okay, I will arrange for your two families to meet and talk." Master Jiang's voice came from the phone.

Mother Chu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Okay, Master Jiang, you go ahead and I'll listen."

"The woman is 23 years old, 1.68 meters tall, and graduated from university last year. She currently runs a snack stand with her parents in Luohu. Because of her good figure and good looks, the sales of her snack stand began to soar from the day she opened the stall, and the monthly profit has almost doubled compared to before."

Hearing this, Chu's mother could imagine how beautiful the woman was. Even if she was not as beautiful as those glamorous female stars, she should not be much different. Anyway, she was definitely more than enough to match her son's looks.

Next, Master Jiang continued to talk about the woman's personality and preferences, her family situation, and even briefly described the personalities of her parents.

The more Chu's mother listened, the more satisfied she became. Her family's financial conditions were indeed good, but they were all self-aware people. They knew that the money was not earned by real ability. They were just lucky to become a member of the village and be led by the knowledgeable people in the village.

Therefore, when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, the Chu family does not need to marry someone of equal social status, but rather wants to marry someone whose family background is worse than theirs. The one introduced by Master Jiang is very much in line with Mother Chu's wishes.

If a person is beautiful, they can improve the genes of their offspring. If their family is not well off, marrying into their Chu family will not cause the situation of "taking the place of the host" to occur.

When she went to find a matchmaker for her son, she said that the future daughter-in-law must meet three requirements:

One, filial piety. Two, beauty. Three, duty.

Now, according to what Master Jiang said, if the woman meets all three requirements, then she really has nothing to choose from.

Therefore, after listening to Master Jiang's introduction, Mother Chu made the decision and said, "Master Jiang, you are indeed a nationally renowned matchmaker. This girl is exactly what I want. You can arrange a meeting whenever she is convenient. Anyway, our family is very free."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Auntie, as long as you are satisfied, I plan to arrange a meeting between your two families tomorrow. The girl's family is free from 1 to 4 pm and 7 to 10 pm. Auntie, which time do you think is suitable for the meeting?"

Mother Chu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's meet during the day. That way we can see each other more clearly. But this time is not suitable for eating. Otherwise, how about we go to a teahouse and have tea?"

"Of course, to accommodate the woman, I suggest that we meet somewhere near XX Road in Luohu."

"No problem. I'll ask my son to check online to see if there is a teahouse nearby."

"Well, then, can we set the specific meeting time at 1:30 in the afternoon?"

"Okay, then it's settled. Once I book a teahouse, I'll send the address to you, Master Jiang."

"Okay, that's it for now. I'll call you if there's anything else."

"Well, goodbye, Master Jiang."

"goodbye."

When Chu's mother hung up the phone and came back to finish the game, the three neighbor aunties were no longer interested in the card table. They all asked who Master Jiang was.

Seeing this, Chu's mother did not rush to call her son, but started her show-off moment, introducing Master Jiang's information in a dramatic manner, which amazed the neighborhood aunties.

The children of two of the aunts are already married, and I can only feel sorry for them.

Aunt Gong, who was on the same side as Chu's mother, had a daughter who was still unmarried. Her eyes lit up when she heard this and she kept asking questions to Chu's mother.

Only after Mother Chu had said everything she needed to say and provided her with Master Jiang's cell phone number did Aunt Gong close her mouth with satisfaction.

The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.

Xipai Yujiang Community.

After dinner, Huang Yuanjia strolled around the community alone.

Huang Yuanjia is also a sociable person. He has known many neighbors in less than a month. However, the residents in this community pay more attention to privacy, and Huang Yuanjia is just an acquaintance with them. It is not like other ordinary communities where people can tell others everything about their family situation as soon as they meet.

Huang Yuanjia strolled in the community for a while and saw an unfamiliar old man walking out of the "King of Buildings". The old man looked to be in his early sixties, with his hands behind his back, looking at the greenery in the community as he walked. It was obvious that he was not an old resident.

When the old man passed by him, Huang Yuanjia smiled and said hello: "Brother, I see you look a little unfamiliar, are you also the owner of this place?"

This guy who came out of the "King of Buildings" was none other than the world-class gambling king Qiu Chengguo who had just returned from the United States not long ago. After he bought the mansion in Xipai Yujiang, he immediately looked for someone to renovate it.

He came here today because he had nothing to do. On the one hand, he wanted to see the progress of the decoration, and on the other hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with the environment in the community.

Hearing Huang Yuanjia's question, Qiu Chengguo knew that he should be the owner of this place, so he smiled and said, "I am the new owner here. The house is still under renovation. It will take some time before I can move in."

"No wonder I haven't seen you before. My last name is Huang, which means yellow. What's your last name, brother?"

"Your surname is Qiu."

Huang Yuanjia took out a cigarette and handed it to him, saying, "Brother Qiu, I see you walked out of that building. I bought the 13th floor, and the house is currently being renovated. Which floor did you buy?"

Qiu Chengguo took the cigarette and said with a smile: "That's really a coincidence, I bought the 12th floor."

"That must be a coincidence!"

The house they bought is the top building in Xipai Yujiang, which is known as "one family name per floor, one family name per household". There is only one family on each floor, so the neighbors above and below are real neighbors.

Knowing that they were neighbors, both of them became much friendlier.

Huang Yuanjia took out a lighter to light the cigarette for the other party, but Qiu Chengguo politely pushed him away and took out a lighter from his pocket to light the cigarette himself.

"Brother Huang, judging from your accent, you should be from Guangdong Province, right?"

"Brother Qiu, you have a really good ear. I thought I had gotten rid of my accent, but I didn't expect you could still hear it!"

Qiu Chengguo exhaled a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "The Mandarin of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces is famous. The younger generation has good education conditions and may be able to get rid of their accents, but for people of your age, the accent has long been engraved in our bones. How can it be so easy to get rid of it!"

Huang Yuanjia nodded and smiled: "That's true. I'm from Shenzhen. Brother Qiu, are you a local?"

Qiu Chengguo said: "I am a local, but I went abroad when I was young. I only came back from the United States not long ago, and then I bought a house here to live in for retirement."

Huang Yuanjia praised: "Brother, you are awesome. In that era, those who could go abroad were very impressive. It seems that you have made great achievements in the United States!"

"Brother, you are too kind. My career is just OK. At least I haven't brought shame to the country."

Qiu Chengguo said modestly, "I was doing well in school at that time, and by chance I got the opportunity to be an 'exchange student'. I didn't expect that I would settle down there as soon as I went abroad, and I have been staying there for more than 40 years."

Huang Yuanjia said with emotion: "At that time, our country was poor, while the United States was full of gold. If there was a chance to stay there, not many people would be willing to come back."

Qiu Chengguo sighed and said, "In fact, my original plan was to make some money there and then return home in glory, but I never dreamed that I would end up on a path that is only suitable for the United States. That's why I have to stay in the United States for more than 40 years."

Huang Yuanjia smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with working hard in the United States. From the fact that you returned to your country to retire when you got a little older, it shows that you have never forgotten your country in your heart. That's enough!"

Qiu Chengguo sighed, "The wife I married abroad is also Chinese. My husband and I cannot forget our motherland. My son grew up in the United States. Although we, as parents, have guided him, his feelings for his motherland are definitely not as strong as ours.

My husband and I are returning to our motherland to retire this time, and we also want to bring our son back. So far, the progress is going smoothly. My son is quite satisfied with the investment environment in China. When he finds a career that suits him in China, and then we find him a wife, maybe he will be able to return home. "

Huang Yuanjia put out his cigarette and laughed, "Brother Qiu, I have limited abilities and can't help your son with anything when it comes to his career. But when it comes to finding a partner for your son, I think I still have a say."
