"Our family can't let Qiu Chenxi spend all her best years waiting for Zhai Sheng. It's not very kind to do so."
"..." Qiu Qin was silent for a moment, and said nothing after thinking about it: "What does Chief Zhai mean?"
"It was originally a joke between the two families. It didn't go through any procedures, let alone be widely announced. In this case, just treat the previous joke as chalk writing and erase it. By the way, I heard that there have been promotions and transfers in your unit recently? There is a position, which sounds lower than your current position, but as long as you are willing to work hard, this position will make you get more. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Chief Zhai!" Qiu Qin's eyes lit up. Qiu Qin knew the position that Zhai Yaohui mentioned, and he had been eyeing it for a long time.
It was a position that was a demotion in public but a promotion in private. It is not easy to fight for this position.
Zhai Yaohui was not surprised by this result. He had expected Qiu Qin to agree. What he did not expect was that Qiu Qin seemed to agree too quickly: "Then it's settled. Find a chance and tell your wife and Qiu Chenxi."
"Don't worry, Chief Zhai, I will."
After telling Zhai Yaohui about this, Qiu Qin called his parents to report the matter as soon as he arrived at work. Qiu's father objected on the spot: "Son, you are stupid. You are too short-sighted. You give up your bright future just for this little benefit? Zhai Yaohui can help you get this position. If you become his in-laws in the future, you will get much more than this."
"Dad, that's not necessarily true. The Zhai family is the most selfless and ruthless. They rarely abuse their power for personal gain. This time is an exception. If we really become relatives with the Zhai family and marry Chenxi to Zhai Sheng, I don't think our family can get much substantial benefit except for a better reputation. You and mom knew about what happened between Zhai Yaohui and Qi Minlan. In the end, no matter how cruel Zhai Yaohui was, he still couldn't go against the wishes of Master Zhai and married a girl from the countryside. In the past, Chenxi still had the support of Zhai Yaohui, but today, even Zhai Yaohui is no longer a good person. They all told me that the marriage of the two children should be forgotten. Zhai Sheng doesn't like Chenxi, and he has lost the support of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Liang. Dad, what do you think is the success rate of Chenxi marrying Zhai Sheng? Don't wait until the time comes, and it will be a waste of time! "
Back then, Qiu Qin was willing to listen to his parents and marry Qi Minlan. First, the Qi family and the Qiu family were well matched. Second, considering the relationship between Qi Minlan and Zhai Yaohui, as long as Zhai Yaohui felt guilty about Qi Minlan and wanted to compensate Qi Minlan, the Qiu family would definitely benefit.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. Qiu Qin was willing to marry a woman like Qi Minlan. Today, he just nodded and rejected a marriage that was already hopeless. He got a big bargain for free. What's wrong with that?
In fact, as long as Zhai Yaohui tacitly supports Zhai Sheng's decision, even if the Zhai family does not give the Qiu family an explanation, what can the Qiu family do to the Zhai family?
Just like Zhai Yaohui said before, this is just a verbal joke between the two families. There has never been a formal and detailed discussion, so it doesn't count.
"Dad, it's a pity to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons, but people are greedy and we will suffer in the end. If Zhai Yaohui had talked to Qi Minlan about this matter today, I would definitely not intervene. But today Zhai Yaohui is talking to me, Dad, it seems that the reasons you and mom asked me to marry Qi Minlan back then are not much left now."
"No?" Qiu's father hesitated.
"Dad, you are a man too, what do you think?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Father Qiu said, "Okay, you are the boss of the Qiu family now, whatever you say is what we do."
"Okay, then I'm hanging up. If I really get transferred to that position, I will be very busy for at least the next three years."
"You work hard, the Qiu family depends on you. Chenxi is just a girl and she will get married sooner or later. If Zhai Sheng doesn't work out, Qiu Qin, you should put more thought into it. It would be best if you can find someone who can let Chenxi give birth to two children, and let one of the children have the surname Qiu. Do you understand what I mean?" "
I understand."
"Okay, then I'm hanging up." Since
they could no longer become in-laws with the Zhai family, Father Qiu was more aware of current affairs and immediately thought of the future arrangements for his granddaughter Qiu Chenxi.
At this time, even Qi Minlan probably didn't expect that she just wanted to find an opportunity to have a close contact with Zhai Yaohui and arouse Miao Liang's interference. Who knew that Miao Liang would really show off her power instead of being silent as before, and finally lead to such a result.
Originally, Qiu Chenxi and Zhai Sheng's engagement was already very difficult, either one refused or the other disagreed.
Now even Zhai Yaohui, who supported Qiu Chenxi the most, has changed his mind. There is really no hope for Qiu Chenxi and Zhai Sheng.
Zhai Yaohui made it clear to Qiu Qin, and the heads of the two families had decided on the matter. With such a result, Zhai Yaohui returned to the Zhai family.
Unfortunately, the Zhai family didn't feel better for long. At about 3 pm, Qiu Qin called the Zhai family and said, "Hey, Chief Zhai, there is something I think I should tell you about."
"What is it?" Zhai Yaohui put down the newspaper in his hand.
"I have already told Qi Minlan and Chenxi about our conversation today. Chenxi couldn't accept it at once and said she wanted to settle accounts with a little girl named Qiao Nan. Is she related to your family?" If this little girl had nothing to do with the Zhai family, Chenxi would not have gone to find this little girl as soon as she heard that she and Zhai Sheng were no longer together.
Qiu Qin didn't know much about this matter. The only thing he knew was that his daughter wanted to settle accounts with this little girl because of Zhai Sheng.
In other words, if this little girl suffered a little bit at the hands of his daughter, it was all the fault of the Zhai family.
Therefore, he must tell the Zhai family.
"What? How did I hear Nan Nan's name?" Miao Liang, who was drinking a cup of green tea, had sharp ears and was very sensitive to the key words: "What do you mean? Why did the Qiu family mention Nan Nan when everything was fine?"
"Okay, I know about it." Zhai Yaohui hung up Qiu Qin's phone call and looked at Miao Liang, taking this opportunity to encourage Miao Miao: "Qiu Qin has already told Qiu Chenxi about it. Qiu Chenxi knew that she and Zhai Sheng could not be together, so she got very angry and said that she would find Qiao Nan to settle the score. Now, Qiu Chenxi should have gone to Qiao Nan's house."
