"What? My intelligence was wrong?"
Wang Xiuzhen shook her head. "Impossible! Zhang Ailan seemed quite sincere to me, telling me about her daughter's childhood. She didn't seem to be lying to me! Son, you're not mistaken, are you?"
Pang Zhengming said irritably, "Why would I lie to you? You have no idea how ruthless Lu Xueqing is. I just helped her secure a project, and she promised to give me a position as a legal advisor. But she turned around and burned me, firing me in front of her husband. Isn't that a slap in my face?"
"What? Is that true?"
Wang Xiuzhen was furious. Her son was her precious darling, and when she heard that he had been wronged, she wanted nothing more than to run over and slap Lu Xueqing twice.
"Son, don't panic! Zhang Ailan just called me to ask me to go to the mahjong parlor. When we get there, I'll question her properly. If she doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll stuff a whole bunch of six of bamboo coins into her mouth. I'll make sure she regrets it!"
After Wang Xiuzhen finished speaking, she put down the vegetable basket and walked outside angrily.
"Tch!" Pang Zhengming curled his lip, looking completely unconvinced.
I've learned my lesson this time; I'll never let that old lady introduce me to a potential partner again!
After leaving her home, Wang Xiuzhen stormed off to the mahjong parlor.
At this moment, Zhang Ailan had already started playing mahjong and had a pure suit hand, ready to win! She was about to draw the winning tile herself!
Wang Xiuzhen stormed over and smashed her cards to pieces!
"Damn it! My hand is all straights, are you crazy...?"
Zhang Ailan was about to unleash a torrent of abuse when she saw it was Wang Xiuzhen. She froze, then said irritably, "My dear in-law, what are you doing? I was about to touch myself, and you're acting crazy!"
Wang Xiuzhen pointed at Zhang Ailan's nose and cursed, "You old widow, how dare you ask me? Why don't you ask what your daughter has done? You told me that your daughter and son-in-law don't get along and can get a divorce at any time. And look what happened, today she actually bullied my son in front of that good-for-nothing. If you don't explain yourself to me today, believe me, I'll tear your face off! I'll disfigure you again!"
Wang Xiuzhen is usually a shrew, and she's also big and burly, the kind who's very brave in a fight.
Zhang Ailan turned pale with fright and stammered, "Dear, mother-in-law, let's talk this out, you must have made a mistake!"
"What nonsense! This is what my son told me himself, how could it be false? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll stuff all these mahjong tiles into your stomach and turn you into a mahjong machine!" Wang Xiuzhen suddenly grabbed a handful of mahjong tiles, pretending to shove them into Zhang Ailan's mouth.
Zhang Ailan was almost in tears, "No, no, no! Mother-in-law, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"By the way, my daughter must be testing your son!"
Zhang Ailan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's right, that must be it! My daughter is a beautiful CEO, she's not so easy to win over. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and she and your son aren't familiar with each other, so she definitely has to test your son! If your son can't even withstand this test, then he's really not sincere, is he?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuzhen was stunned. She frowned and slowly put down the mahjong tiles.
Upon closer reflection, Zhang Ailan's words made sense.
As a woman, who wouldn't want to find someone who truly treats them well?
Besides, what girl doesn't act a little dramatic?
Maybe they were just testing their son, and I got too excited.
Thinking of this, she quickly put on a smiling face again, "Oh, Ailan, look, I was too anxious. I didn't expect this. Marriage is a big deal, and it's only right to put people through some tests!"
“However, my son is also very outstanding. There are many girls who like him. There has to be a limit to this test, right?” Wang Xiuzhen couldn’t help but say again.
Zhang Ailan smiled awkwardly, "That's right, that's right! Your son is so outstanding, these two children are a perfect match. Don't worry, I'll definitely have a good talk with my Xueqing when I get back, and tell her to treat your son well!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiuzhen's anger subsided, and she sighed, "I was just too worried! Seeing that other people are already having grandchildren, how could I not be anxious? I just want to settle this matter as soon as possible!"
She thought for a moment, then said, "How about this? I see these two kids are quite busy. How about we two help each other out? When we have time, we can invite them together for a meal and try to set them up. What do you think? Of course, my son will definitely treat us to this meal!"
"Hey, great! That's a good idea!"
As soon as Zhang Ailan heard that there would be food, she immediately agreed, "Then it's settled. You can decide on the time. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring my daughter over!"
"Okay, it's settled then! Haha, you guys keep having fun, I'll go back and discuss it with my son!"
Wang Xiuzhen left with a happy smile.
Xiongfeng subsidiary.
"President Lu, we just received news that Tan Qingqing has partnered with Yandu TV and has already signed a contract. She won't be coming to Guanzhong!" The female director in charge of the project came to the president's office and reported this news to Lu Xueqing with a dejected look.
"It looks like the TV station project is going to fall through!" the female director said with a regretful expression. "President Lu, this is such a pity! The treasure appraisal program project is really important. In this day and age, viewership equals money! We've suffered a huge loss!"
Lu Xueqing shook her head helplessly. Although she had expected this outcome, she still couldn't help but sigh and said, biting her lip, "Oh well, what's done is done. I can just find other projects. This way, I actually feel more at ease. I don't want to owe Pang Zhengming any favors!"
