Chapter 29 Blind Date 3
Gao Yuhong glanced into the hall and his eyes met those of Ning Yan, who was trying to slip away.
The person in charge didn't see what was happening and was still saying to himself, "No matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with you. With your stinginess, no one would even look at you!"
He and his cousin had breakfast together that morning, which cost a total of 12.5 yuan. His cousin refused to pay, so he, the poor guy, ended up paying!
I've never seen a rich person as stingy as my cousin.
Gao Yuhong: "What? Does she have high standards?"
The person in charge repeated what Ning Yan had just said.
Just then, someone came looking for him, and he hurriedly left with the booklet.
He didn't notice that his stingy cousin swaggered into the hall and then sat down in front of Ning Yan with a clear purpose.
At that moment, Ning Yan was about to get up and leave.
"Excuse me for bothering you, but I am very satisfied with Miss Ning. I wonder if Miss Ning would be willing to give me a chance to pursue her?"
Ning Yan said, "Didn't anyone tell you that you should never judge a person solely by their face?"
Gao Yuhong smiled, "Then what else do I need to see?"
Ning Yan: ……
"To be honest, my mom signed me up for this blind date. She hopes I can find a suitable partner and get married as soon as possible."
Gao Yuhong: "I am thirty-two years old this year, and I have long reached the age to get married."
"Besides, I've heard your request, and I believe I can do it."
Ning Yan shifted her body, leaning back in the chair, and tilted her head to look at him. "Are you serious?"
This man is quite good-looking, is he out of his mind?
"certainly."
What is the earliest time you would be willing to get married?
Gao Yuhong glanced at her watch. "Do you have your household registration booklet with you? There are still more than two hours before the Civil Affairs Bureau closes for the day."
Ning Yan: ……
Getting a marriage certificate is out of the question, since Ning Yan doesn't have the habit of carrying her household registration booklet when she goes out.
She took him home that same day to meet her parents.
Are you sure our marriage doesn't need your family's approval?
Ning Yan asked Gao Yuhong, saying she didn't want to bring her partner to meet his parents and then have them object to the marriage; she found it too troublesome.
Gao Yuhong said, "My mom is currently sunbathing in the Maldives with her boyfriend, and my dad went fishing with his old friends last week. When they got divorced, they said that they hadn't even managed their own marriage well, so they didn't intend to ruin my later years."
The Gao family situation is quite complicated. Gao Yuhong's parents arranged the marriage between their families. The two families were quite large and had some assets. They felt that their children were of suitable age and knew each other well, so they arranged for the two children to get married.
However, their life philosophies differed greatly after marriage. After enduring this for more than ten years, they finally couldn't take it anymore and divorced with their son's consent after his college entrance examination.
There was no third party involved; it's just that without feelings, they couldn't stay together.
Mr. Gao did not love his wife but loved his only son. In order to facilitate the divorce, he directly gave all the company shares to his son.
Gao's mother also loved her only son. She didn't argue with her husband about the assets, only taking her dowry with her, and the two divorced peacefully.
The couple's lives after they separated were completely different. After Gao Yuhong graduated, his father handed over the company to his son to manage, and he simply enjoyed life, drinking tea, going to bars, fishing, and doing all sorts of things, but he didn't play around with women.
Gao's mother is quite remarkable. After divorcing her husband, she established an entertainment company. After several years of hard work, the company's assets have multiplied many times over, and now it is worth at least a billion yuan. She also has a constant stream of suitors, some of whom are even younger than Gao Yuhong.
But she didn't remarry, and she had said long ago that her husband had given their son a company, and she couldn't fall behind, so she also wanted to give her son a company.
Therefore, Gao Yuhong is not a top-tier rich second-generation, but she is definitely a wealthy person.
Anyway, he's richer than the guy who's willing to give Ning Yan two thousand yuan a month for pocket money.
Of course, he's also richer than Ning Yan!
Ning Yan's bank card had only 10,928.76 yuan left, which was what the original owner had earned during her internship. Her family stopped giving her any pocket money after she graduated.
Gao Yuhong didn't hide anything about the Gao family from Ning Yan; he told her everything on the way to the Ning family.
"Then why didn't you come to work today?"
Gao Yuhong: "Working was too tiring, so I found a professional manager to help manage the company. All I have to do is collect dividends."
What's the name of your company?
"Hongyu".
Ning Yan didn't know much about the famous companies in her hometown, and she wasn't familiar with the name Hongyu, so she looked it up online and found out that it was a company with a market value of over 5 billion.
In a city like theirs, a company with a value of over 5 billion might not be considered top-tier, but it's certainly not low-end; at least it allows for a comfortable life.
"Then when my mom asks you where you work, just say you're a senior executive at Hongyu, with an annual salary of 500,000."
"Our parents don't live with us, and you have a ready-made apartment in the city for your marriage."
Gao Yuhong: ... "Why?"
Ning Yan said, "In this world, everyone around me hates you and laughs at you for not having anything. If you earn two thousand a month, they will laugh at me for finding a poor partner and look down on us."
If they find out you're a rich kid, it won't be long before they come knocking on your door asking you, as a young master, to arrange jobs for their children.
An annual salary of 500,000 is better than the average person, but it won't make people look down on you, nor will it make them have too high expectations. That's enough.
"If the wedding room is prepared in advance, my mom won't force you to add my name to the deed."
Gao Yuhong was surprised; this didn't quite match the persona she projected at the matchmaking event.
But he still nodded honestly: "Okay."
The two bought gifts on the way. Gao Yuhong wanted to buy something high-end, but Ning Yan stopped him, saying, "That's enough. They won't eat bird's nest or ginseng even if you buy them."
"But they'll have to attend our wedding eventually, and then they'll find out anyway, won't they?"
Ning Yan thought for a moment, "Then let's not have a wedding, let's have a destination wedding."
Gao Yuhong: ...Wait, isn't something wrong? Isn't his nickname "Old Stingy"? How come it seems like his future wife is even more frugal than him?
However, a destination wedding is also an option; it's comfortable and relaxing, and the wedding ceremony is just a formality for outsiders.
I carried my things upstairs. I had called beforehand, and the elderly couple were waiting at home. There were two fruit platters on the coffee table, and the juice was ready too.
"Xiao Gao is here, please sit down. Oh my, why did you buy so much stuff? You'll have so many expenses when you get married!"
They said they weren't allowed to buy it, but the two of them were smiling brighter than anyone else.
Ning's father sat firmly and asked about Gao Yuhong's basic situation. "I bought a house in the city for our wedding. If you two are willing, you can live with us after the wedding."
Mr. and Mrs. Ning waved their hands hurriedly. After they retired, their combined monthly pension was nearly 10,000 yuan. The cost of living in the county was low, and the elderly couple could not even spend all of it on their daily expenses. Moreover, they also had savings.
Why would anyone want to get involved with young people when they're living a comfortable life themselves?
