Two more days passed.
When Song Yanxi has time, she comes home early from get off work every day to take care of the baby.
She also liked to stroll around the community with her mistress Chen Lu at night.
There are more than 800 households living in the Bund community, and there are quite a few one-year-old girls.
Song Yanxi was stunned by Xiao San. This little guy was often bullied and cried by a little girl of similar age.
How can this be tolerated? The key point is that no one did anything to him!
Even though the mistress is bullied by the little girl every day, she still likes to stick to her and play with her.
Why does this feel a bit like being a little bootlicker?
Her son won’t be like this when he grows up, right?
When Chen Pingsheng came back, Song Yanxi reported the situation to him again.
This is not a good sign.
The only boy in the family is so honest and has a tendency to be a bootlicker since he was young.
How can this be?
Chen Pingsheng was helpless. After returning, he specially observed Xiao San for two days. He didn't know who Xiao San's personality was similar to.
It's really not right that he would be so honest!
Nothing you say will work with a one-year-old baby. Let's wait until he's a little older.
…
The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a few more days had passed.
Song Yanxi, who had some free time, introduced a suitable partner to Song Shuiqing, who was a rich second-generation who had studied abroad.
At the age of 29, he is still a handsome man.
Chen Pingsheng asked what his family did, and Song Yanxi said that their family was in real estate.
Chen Pingsheng felt bad when he heard about real estate. It would be okay if you were a real estate developer in Hong Kong, but most domestic real estate developers build houses with loans and have high debt and high operation.
Everyone makes money when housing prices keep rising. But once housing prices collapse, the first ones to suffer, besides those who bought houses with loans, will be the real estate developers.
"Pingsheng, I've looked this up. Although he's in real estate, his family isn't heavily in debt. They only own a few properties in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai."
"That's not bad. You know about real estate. Housing prices have already reached the limit of what ordinary people can afford. Everyone knows that things will turn against themselves when they reach their limit."
"I know!"
Song Yanxi asked him to go meet someone together. Song Shuiqing has always had the best relationship with her family in Beijing.
Both Chen Pingsheng and herself attach great importance to Shuiqing's future marriage.
It can be said that she is second only to her own sister Song Wu.
Song Wu also introduced many good candidates back then. Chen Pingsheng even brought her to his own group to ask her if she liked anyone.
Unfortunately, after much deliberation, the sister-in-law still chose Yang Changwen, such an unreliable guy.
It's not that he is a bad person, but if he didn't control himself, he would probably have a lot of mistresses outside.
In fact, Song Shuiqing admired her brother-in-law the most. She had admired him since he first went to the capital.
Watching him grow step by step to this scale, it would be a lie to say I don’t admire him.
Women will eventually get married, and she is no exception.
I can’t say I like the person my cousin introduced to me too much, but I do like him.
He is gentle and refined, and has good taste in conversation.
After all, I grew up abroad, so I must have some experience.
It had only been half a month since the two were introduced and got to know each other.
If Song Yanxi hadn't introduced her personally, Tang Li's mother would have looked down on Song Shuiqing.
According to her, no matter how powerful Song Yanxi's husband is, he is just Song Shuiqing's cousin.
If Song Wu was in a similar position, she would have agreed without hesitation.
I will be quite happy too.
The gap between my biological sister and my cousin is huge.
When the two families met this time, Tang's mother simply said that Song Shuiqing's parents should not come.
She needs to talk to Michelle Song first.
Only after the two of them have reached an agreement will she consider letting her son marry Song Shuiqing.
To a certain extent, men in Shanghai are very obedient to their mothers.
Especially when it comes to such a major event as marriage, Tang Li is a typical mama's boy.
If his mother doesn't agree, he definitely won't agree either.
The two families met in a large private room at the Peace Hotel.
Tang's mother, who was adorned with jewels, also wore a Patek Philippe watch full of diamonds and a particularly eye-catching sapphire necklace.
She just wanted to use this to tell Song Yanxi that her family was not short of money.
If she couldn't get a certain amount of Chen family resources, she would never agree to Song Shuiqing marrying into her family.
"Yanxi, you finally decided to bring your husband out with you."
Tang's mother deliberately placed the limited edition Hermès bag on the table.
After she sat down, she made a few jokes.
She was also a frequent visitor to Shuiyunjian, so naturally she had known Song Yanxi for a long time and often invited her husband to come out and get together.
Song Yanxi chuckled and refused.
Stop joking. If it weren't for Song Shuiqing, her husband wouldn't have dinner here with you, the rich wife of a small real estate developer.
"Sister Tang, we are not the protagonists today. We are discussing your son's marriage!"
"What is there for them to discuss? Isn't it your family that has the final say on how the marriage is arranged?"
When Chen Pingsheng saw that Tang Li didn't say a word, he didn't like him very much.
Now I am even more unhappy when I hear this.
Chen Pingsheng said, "There's no need to beat around the bush. Just speak frankly!"
Mother Tang was well aware that given the qualifications of the person in front of her, if she continued to play tricks it would be counterproductive.
"Mr. Chen, let me first tell you about my son. He has been studying abroad since he was ten years old, and he has always attended prestigious universities. Although he only joined my family's company after returning to China, his ability is obvious to all. His father and I only have this one son, and he will definitely inherit our real estate company in the future.
"With my son's talent, there are plenty of famous socialites in Shanghai. To be honest, the reason he's attracted to Shui Qing is because she has you two to rely on."
Song Shuiqing was obviously stunned.
What does that mean? It makes her sound like she's begging someone to marry someone above her status.
She could barely accept the above words, but she really wanted to curse at the following words.
Tang's mother continued, "Mr. Chen, you have a great career. If Shuiqing is your biological sister, then even if our family has ten miles of red dowry, we wouldn't be able to afford her marriage. But she is only your wife's cousin after all. I want to ask, if my son marries her, do you have to give her something specific to match her?"
This is completely humiliating to Song Shuiqing!
Only the fairies on the Internet think that it is easy to marry into a wealthy family. The reality is that your family is not a good match.
You can't get past the mother's test at all.
Especially in a place like Shanghai.
Chen Pingsheng smiled and asked, "I wonder if you want something worthy of it?"
Tang's mother would never laugh. She was very serious about arranging a marriage for her son.
If we can't reach an agreement on these things, then we'll just be friends.
It’s better not to do it with in-laws.
Of course she would be willing to climb up the Chen family's big tree.
The key point is that Song Shuiqing's relationship is a bit distant.
This was the only thing she disliked.
If something really happens to the Tang family in the future, the Chen family has no obligation or responsibility to help such a cousin who married out.
So, she had to negotiate the terms right from the start.
Tang's mother's meaning was very clear. She hoped that before they got married, the Chen family would come up with 100 million yuan to set up an Internet economic company specifically for Song Shuiqing.
The Tang family contributed another 50 million.
To put it bluntly, the 100 million is the dowry their family has to pay.
Moreover, the Tang family is very smart. Now even a fool knows that short videos can make money.
Chen Pingsheng arrested two such large internet celebrity agencies.
If he was willing to spend 100 million to help Song Shuiqing set up his own internet celebrity economic company.
Even if the Tang family’s real estate business fails in the future, they will still have an excellent way out.
And with Tencent Film Group backing it up, there's no reason for the company to lose money.
The Tang family had a very good idea.
Or maybe it was just a very good idea on Tang's part.
She had a plan in mind, and it was impossible for Chen Pingsheng to agree immediately.
He wanted to ask Song Shuiqing's opinion first.
If Song Shuiqing agrees herself, what does it matter if he gives her 100 million?
After all, when he went to the capital alone with his wife, Song Shuiqing was the only one who truly regarded him as his brother-in-law.
In his heart, this is actually not much different from his own sister.
It's just that he doesn't like such materialistic negotiations.
Didn’t you see that Song Shuiqing was almost crying with anger?
When they returned, Song Yanxi specifically called her cousin to ride in the same car with her, just to ask her what she thought.
"Shuiqing, what do you think?"
"That's too much! Is it really that I can't get married? Why do I need my brother-in-law to pay 100 million yuan for the betrothal gift?"
Song Shuiqing looks quite cute when he grits his teeth.
Perhaps to comfort her, Chen Pingsheng talked about the time when Chen Qi got married.
"You're still considered okay. My sister's wedding was even more outrageous. Even the diamond ring was bought by your sister-in-law. The wedding cost a full two or three hundred million."
"Ah? You can agree to this?" Song Shuiqing looked at her cousin in confusion.
Song Yanxi nodded. "That's true. Although your brother-in-law didn't say it on the surface, he was actually unhappy at the time. But later, Hu Lin treated Chen Qi wholeheartedly, and now he praises his good judgment to everyone he meets."
Song Shuiqing understood that her cousin was indirectly telling her that money was not a problem.
The key is that she is satisfied.
And even though the Tang family is so realistic, they definitely have actual assets worth more than 10 billion.
Tang's mother has only one son, so all her future money will definitely be left to her son.
By this calculation, one hundred million is not a loss.
In the past, a marriage in a wealthy family would require a dowry of tens of millions to be considered decent.
This is not surprising at all.
Song Shuiqing understood, for her cousin and brother-in-law.
This 100 million dowry is actually very normal. What they cannot accept is perhaps just that Tang's mother did not give her face at the dinner.
It just embarrassed her a little.
That's why they didn't agree directly, but asked her opinion later.
It would be a lie for Song Shuiqing to say that she wasn't touched. If it weren't for her brother-in-law, she would never have been able to marry into the Tang family.
It doesn't mean that she has to marry a rich man.
Just because of her relationship with her brother-in-law, her selection threshold was infinitely raised.
Song Shuiqing did not act on impulse. She wanted to inform her parents first and then ask for their opinions.
Song's father and mother would definitely agree.
No matter what, the Tang family is a well-known family in Demon City, and he has an only son.
If you marry into such a family, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
Song's father and mother even came to Chen Pingsheng's house and bought him a lot of gifts.
It's basically just a thank you.
They definitely can't afford a dowry of 100 million.
But he also knew that such an opportunity was rare for Song Shuiqing.
Chen Pingsheng set up an internet celebrity agency for Song Shuiqing in Shanghai in the name of his wife.
It can be considered as a step forward to improve her status.
The Tang family also allocated 50 million yuan to this company and transferred Tang Li there.
Anyone who has worked in real estate for a few years can sense the current situation.
The real estate economy is no longer sustainable, and internet celebrity economy companies are the current trend.
Song Shuiqing became Mr. Song in one step, and the Tang family also officially announced their marriage relationship.
The wedding is scheduled for December this year.
She was very successful, and many people envied her, especially the relatives who came from the capital with her.
If they can get a dowry of 100 million, can they do the same when they get married in the future?
This is probably the first thought that comes to everyone’s mind.
Chen Pingsheng didn't care about these things. For him, solving Shuiqing's marriage was still a good thing.
The only little cousin left who was very close to him was Jiang Peiyao.
Jiang Pei Yao has been working at Tengying Entertainment for five years. She is neither too old nor too young now, so it is time for her to find a boyfriend.
Chen Pingsheng called her to the company to talk alone.
"Pei Yao, your brother-in-law told you not to look for a boyfriend for three years, but he didn't tell you not to look for one for four or five years, did he?"
"Ah?" Jiang Peiyao's face turned red.
"Brother-in-law, I'm still busy filming, how can I have time to look for you..."
"Don't use filming as an excuse."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Don't I understand you? If you really want to be a top player, with your connections, you can get as many resources as you want."
"Brother-in-law, I'm already very satisfied. If I use your identity to snatch resources again, that would be bullying!" Jiang Peiyao said very obediently.
"Okay, stop changing the subject."
Chen Pingsheng asked her to sit down instead of standing with her long legs.
"Tell me honestly, brother-in-law, do you have someone you like?"
"No..." Jiang Peiyao replied in a low voice, with her head lowered.
Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to ask her, "You haven't been to our house for a while. No matter how busy you are, you should visit us often."
"Oh..." Jiang Peiyao agreed softly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Pingsheng just asked her to worry about this matter.
It’s best not to look for people in the entertainment industry. The key in other circles is character.
If a person has bad character, you can’t accept him no matter how rich he is.
She is not a girl who has been rich since childhood, so it is not bad for her to find an ordinary guy.
Of course, Chen Pingsheng never said this.
The main reason is that his little cousin is so beautiful that it would be hard to feel at ease if an ordinary person married her.
After he had finally put these two things aside, his wife sent him another message.
Some of the relatives in the group were deliberately asking questions.
We can't be partial to one and ignore the other. If one side gives 100 million as a dowry, the other side should also give something.
What are you thinking about when you want fairness in this kind of thing?
If he really thought he was a company that gave out money, Chen Pingsheng would not bother to reply to any of them.
