After waiting for a while without hearing any response from the other end of the phone, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Mom, you promised not to scold me..."

Huang Zhiqiu came back to his senses, with countless questions and worries in his mind, which eventually turned into just one sentence.

"Momo, when did it happen?"

"Before I go back to Liu'an Town to look for you guys."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu felt a pang of sadness and self-blame.

She is really not a competent mother. She only found out about such a big thing as her daughter's marriage now.

"Why didn't you say anything, kid?"

"I was afraid that you would worry. The Yun family was the one who proposed the marriage, and I was not very happy about it at the time."

"And now? Are you getting along well?"

"Well, he's OK. He's very down-to-earth and responsible. He's also very nice to me. I plan to take him back home during the Chinese New Year, so I'll let you know in advance."

Huang Zhiqiu was an experienced person. Hearing the sweetness and shyness in his daughter's tone, the stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground, and he began to ask about Lingchuan's personal situation.

"His name is Ling Chuan, he is 24 years old, both his parents are dead, and he only has one older brother..."

After listening to Yun Mo's introduction, Huang Zhiqiu suddenly realized, "When you came back last time, was it him who called you?"

"Um."

"Momo, marriage is not a joke. Since he is a good person and you two can get along well, just live a good life from now on."

"I see."

"Mr. Zhao used to be in the foreign trade import and export business, with assets exceeding 10 million. Your task tonight is to make Mr. Zhao happy."

Seeing Yun Yao's silent face, Yun Shixian showed displeasure.

"Speaking of which, this matter was caused by you. If you hadn't been fooling around behind my back and offended the Zeng family, the company wouldn't have been suppressed one after another and lost several projects in a row, suffering heavy losses. This time, we must get Mr. Zhao's investment no matter what."

When Yun Yao heard that it was the Zeng family who suppressed the company, which forced her to accompany the old man to make him happy, hatred suddenly rose in her heart.

Zeng Fang, Yun Mo, I will never forgive you!

The dinner was held at a very famous restaurant in Jiang City. In order to avoid being disturbed, Yun Shixian specially spent a large amount of money to book the largest and most luxurious private room.

Not only can you eat in the private room, you can also sing karaoke and play cards. Moreover, there are guest rooms upstairs, so you can go upstairs and rest when you are tired.

"Mr. Zhao, our poor and remote place is far from the prosperous and bustling provincial capital. I hope you won't laugh at me."

"You can't say that. Big cities have their own prosperity, and small cities have their own comfort. I still like Jiang City very much. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and many talented people. It's a good place to retire."

"Haha, after listening to what Mr. Zhao said, I, a resident of Jiang City, feel a little proud for some reason."

"Mr. Yun is too modest."

Yun Shixian noticed that Zhao Shi's eyes were always glancing at Yun Yao, and he was secretly delighted, but he couldn't hold back his expression and continued to chat with Zhao Shi about this and that.

Everyone present was a shrewd person. Yun Shixian took the trouble to organize the event and brought his own daughter along. His intention was self-evident.

Zhao Shi is over 50 years old this year, a few years older than Yun Shixian, and is lustful by nature. Although Yun Yao is not outstanding in appearance, she is young and has a petite body, which is in line with the taste and preference of a perverted old man like Zhao Shi.

Seeing that Yun Shixian was reluctant to express his opinion, Zhao Shi became restless.

"Why is Miss Yun silent? Is the topic we are talking about too boring?"

Looking at Zhao Shi's fat face, Yun Yao suppressed her nausea and pretended to be shy. "You are all big shots, and I am just a student. I am very lucky to be able to listen, watch and learn more in such an occasion."

The flattery made Mr. Zhao laugh out loud.

"Look at this educated person, he speaks differently."

Yun Shixian replied at the right time, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. Xiaoyao is bored studying in school every day and has never seen any big scenes. I brought Qingmi with me today because I also wanted to see her and broaden her horizons."

As he spoke, Yun Shixian gestured to Yun Yao, "Xiaoyao, give a toast to Mr. Zhao."

"OK."

“Cough cough cough!”

After taking just a small sip, Yun Yao choked and started coughing.

"Hey, Xiaoyao, are you okay?"

Zhao Shi immediately stood up and supported her, and his thick palm took the opportunity to wander around Yun Yao's waist and back, where she was only wearing a tight sweater.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, this is my first time drinking..."

Yun Yao's watery eyes blinked, softening Zhao Shi's heart.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's inevitable that you won't get used to it the first time you drink it. You'll be fine after a few more drinks. Come on, let's have another drink."

After the two of them finished drinking, Yun Shixian raised his glass again and said, "Mr. Zhao rarely comes to Jiang City. I'll toast you a glass."

Zhao Shi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Mr. Yun, you are too polite. Come on, let's all join in."

Everyone stood up with their cups in hand, and Yun Yao had no choice but to pick up her cup and drink together.

You and I drank one cup at a time, and soon Yun Yao was lying on the table with a red face.

Yun Shixian stood up and apologized, "Boss Zhao, I'm really sorry, Xiaoyao can't handle the alcohol, I'll take her to the guest room upstairs to rest first."

"Okay, okay, do you want my help?"

"No, no, Mr. Zhao, you guys continue eating, I'll be down soon."

After entering the hotel room, Yun Yao quickly opened her eyes.

Yun Shixian let go of her hand and spoke in a rare gentle tone, "Xiaoyao, how do you feel?"

"I feel a little dizzy, but it's okay."

"I'll ask the waiter to bring you some hangover soup in a bit. You can rest first."

"Thank you, Dad."

Yun Shixian stood there, his eyes cast on her with deepness, "Xiaoyao, don't let me down with the trust and opportunity I gave you. As long as you can get Mr. Zhao to invest in the company this time, all the things you did in the past can be written off."

"Dad, don't worry, I will do my best to complete what you have asked me to do."

Yun Shixian turned around and left with satisfaction.

Looking at the closed door, Yun Yao's face immediately turned gloomy.

After eating and drinking, the waiter removed the remaining cups and plates and replaced them with hot tea.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Yun Shixian took the initiative to talk about the topic of investment.

Zhao Shi was not vague and made his attitude clear. "To be honest, I came here this time because I am optimistic about the cooperation with Mr. Yun. I just want to see if Mr. Yun is sincere."

Yun Shixian smiled knowingly and placed the room key and cooperation agreement on the table.

"Mr. Zhao, I am 100% sincere to you."

Zhao Shi picked up the agreement and flipped through it, smiling amiably but keeping his mouth shut.

"Boss Yun, this is an investment of millions. I have to think carefully about it."

"As it should be, such a large investment needs to be carefully considered."

As he spoke, Yun Shixian stood up, took the room key from the table, and put it in his pocket. "Mr. Zhao, it's getting late, and you've drunk quite a bit. How about I take you home to rest first, and we can talk about business tomorrow?"

Seeing Yun Shixian's decisiveness, Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Mr. Yun, don't be anxious. Have some tea and we'll talk slowly."

Yun Shixian sat back down and said, "I'll listen to Mr. Zhao."
