Chapter 211 Persuading Family Members
"I run my own business, a clothing business." Jiang Ruzhen squinted as she sipped her beloved Pu'er tea, in high spirits, and answered every question.
Lu Minghe's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Lu Mingzheng, who seemed a little guilty.
I had heard my mother say long ago that this kid was no good at business; he went to Yangcheng and sold a batch of out-of-season styles for a pittance.
Because of this, the mother once doubted herself, wondering if she should have entrusted the northern market to her younger brother to manage.
So that's the real reason!
His younger brother is spending a fortune just to win a smile from the beautiful woman!
Lu Minghe found it amusing but didn't intend to investigate Lu Mingzheng's intentions.
He learned a little about Jiang Ruzhen's family background and discovered that her family was actually a scholarly family.
Her parents returned to the field of scientific research after being sent to the countryside, and now they have gone to Beijing to serve the country with their years of scientific research achievements.
He instantly felt a deep respect for Jiang Ruzhen's family.
He then subtly brought up the clothing business, and the conversation between him and Jiang Ruzhen became increasingly congenial.
Whether it's the clothing market, the domestic foreign trade market, or the steel market, Jiang Ruzhen has her own insightful observations.
Moreover, her calm and composed demeanor seemed as if she had experienced it all before; she spoke fluently and confidently, without any stage fright.
Some of his very forward-thinking market insights and ideas actually coincided with his own.
Lu Minghe's thinking has completely changed. He went from wanting to understand Jiang Ruzhen as a person to now seeing her as a like-minded business partner.
We carefully discussed the current situation and the future development path of the company with her.
Jiang Ruzhen gave him a lot of ideas and inspiration.
The two were discussing business matters, and Lu Mingzheng couldn't get a word in edgewise for a long time. He wasn't interested in business to begin with, and he found his older brother and wife's discussion becoming increasingly profound.
A deep sense of frustration welled up inside him, and in an attempt to regain his wife's and brother's attention, he interjected.
"Brother, I only have three days of leave left before I have to go back to the army. Are you sure you want to talk about business here? Can't you even care about your younger brother's life?"
"What? You're going back to the army? Weren't you discharged due to injury?" Lu Minghe frowned deeply, genuinely shocked by the news.
"Ah Zhen healed my wounds and helped me return to my beloved career. So I belong to her in life and in death."
Brother, please, please help me talk to Mom! Why is she getting more and more petty the older she gets?
Lu Mingzheng grumbled unhappily, and Lu Minghe shook his head with a wry smile when he saw him like this.
Don't let his reputation as a powerful and invincible figure in the military fool you.
But in reality, this guy is very simple-minded; his liking is pure liking, without any other ingredients mixed in.
It seems he is indeed deeply in love with Comrade Jiang Ruzhen.
Before coming, he was still a little uncertain, but after meeting Jiang Ruzhen, he understood why this woman had such a good grip on his unruly and irresponsible younger brother.
This woman certainly possesses a captivating charm, and coupled with her ethereal beauty, it's understandable that she could have bewitched her younger brother.
"Alright, you're a grown man, why are you still acting like a child here? When I get back, I'll persuade Mom and you guys to get ready to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzheng was so excited that he went around the table, hugged his older brother, and patted him hard on the back.
"Big brother, I knew you were the one who loved me the most in the whole family."
Lu Minghe almost coughed up blood from Lu Mingzheng's slap. He quickly pushed Lu Mingzheng away and glared at him, cursing.
"What? Don't your two older sisters treat you well? If they hear what you're saying, you can expect a flood!"
Lu Mingzheng quickly admitted his mistake and apologized, "Big brother, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, please don't tell my sister when you get home."
The three chatted for another ten minutes before Lu Minghe got up and left.
As he stepped out of the hotel, his smile faded, and he raised his hand to rub his temples.
This is not a good situation!
Having met Jiang Ruzhen once, he is no longer worried about whether she can enter the house.
Instead, his younger brother has recovered from his injuries and is about to return to the army. He needs to think carefully about how to tell his mother about this.
Otherwise, with my mom's temper, she could blow up the whole house.
Back then, my younger brother was going to join the army, specifically the most dangerous air force pilot.
His mother was vehemently opposed, but fortunately she didn't know the specifics at the time. Only after being persuaded by him and his two younger sisters did she relent and allow Lu Mingzheng to join the army.
But over the years, every time the army delivered the news of his younger brother's meritorious service to his home, it was accompanied by reports of him being injured in various ways.
Xiao Gong was seriously injured, and Da Gong almost lost his life.
Their family members lived in constant fear; what would be an incredibly glorious achievement for others turned into a series of bombs for their family.
His mother went to the military base several times to demand his return, and the last time she saw her younger brother was in the hospital with his skin burned and his flesh torn open.
My mother fainted from crying on the spot.
His faith wavered, and it took considerable effort to use the influence of his Hong Kong family to rescue the person.
Not to mention his mother, even his doting older brothers and sisters didn't want Lu Mingzheng to go back to the army.
"Sigh!" He sighed deeply again.
The car quickly drove back to the old house halfway up the mountain. As soon as he entered, Lu Minghe found that everyone in the family was waiting for him.
He forced a smile and said to Bai Jing and the other family members, "I've met Jiang Ruzhen. She's nothing like what Mom said. She's clearly a young lady from a scholarly family."
She has a gentle personality, good looks, and is also a businesswoman. When we talked about the current situation and future development, she had her own unique insights.
I think you two should meet her in person to understand why my younger brother is so deeply in love with her and determined to marry her.
Bai Jing was shocked and uncertain. "Ah He, are you sure you met that woman? She was aggressive on the phone, sarcastic and even threatened me."
You said she has a gentle personality? And is quite beautiful? Tell me honestly, did Xiao Zheng pay you hush money?
Lu Minghe knew his mother wouldn't believe him, so why did she make him make the trip himself?
He patiently recounted the entire meeting to his family, telling them everything Jiang Ruzhen said and did.
After speaking for more than half an hour, my mouth was dry.
That's how his family came to believe him.
Lu Mingning and her husband started their business in building materials, and she knows these businesses inside and out, but she also admires Jiang Ruzhen's forward-thinking ideas.
"Hmm, this woman seems to be quite capable. I can't wait to meet her."
Lu Mingyuan is a dancer. She doesn't understand business, but she is extremely curious about the people her elder brother admires so much.
"Brother, is she really as young and beautiful as you say? I'm curious about what cosmetics she uses. I'd like to ask her for advice."
Hearing everyone's words gradually veering off course, Bai Jing slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"What's going on now? Does this mean you kids have united again? You're all ready to accept that old woman?"
Seeing their mother's furious outburst, the children all shut their mouths and dared not utter another word.
But his father, who always avoided confrontation, suddenly spoke up.
"Since the boss has given his approval, then it's settled. We'll wait for her to come the day after tomorrow!"
