Life went on as usual. By the end of 1997, Xiao Wu and the other two still hadn't found girlfriends.
"Mom, don't worry, take your time looking. The three of us aren't in a rush either," Xiao Liu said with a smile.
“You’re not in a hurry, but I am. I’ll feel at ease once all three of you are settled down.”
"Mom, we have no objection to anything you like," Xiaoqi quickly added. Actually, he really didn't want to get married now, feeling he was still too young.
Xiao Wu remained silent; he was even more reluctant to get married now, but his grandfather was anxious, and he wouldn't go against the old man's wishes.
When December came, Zhang Hongmei attended another charity gala, which was almost entirely attended by women.
Zhang Hongmei sat to one side, and no one dared to disturb her. She was using all her abilities to find girlfriends for her three sons as soon as possible so that they could get married quickly.
Her thinking was the same as that of the older generation: they believed that a son was only considered an adult when he got married.
She frowned, clearly in a bad mood. What were these girls thinking?
Wang Ying sat down next to him. "What's wrong?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, not in the mood to speak.
"If you're in a bad mood, go home early."
"No need, I'm fine. You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just sit here."
It wasn't until the dinner party that Zhang Hongmei stood up and went to the buffet restaurant.
Sitting at the dining table, I listened to the girls next to me chatting and laughing quietly.
My relatives are so kind; listening to their conversation made me feel much better.
Wang Ying led two people over. "Hongmei, this is Tian Ying, the director of the Southern Power Plant, and her daughter Wei Wei."
"Madam, hello, I am Tian Ying, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to meet you today."
"Madam, hello, I am Wei Wei, and I am twenty-one years old. I came here today to ask you to see me and whether you think I can become family with Zhang Qichang?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled; this young girl had come forward to volunteer herself.
"Director Tian, Wei Wei, please have a seat."
Zhang Hongmei found the girl quite interesting and felt extremely nervous.
"Wei Wei, may I ask how you met Zhang Qichang?"
"Madam, we met at a meeting. Last year, I came to the capital for my internship after graduating from university to attend a regular meeting of the Ministry of Finance."
I like Zhang Qichang, but he doesn't react to me in any particular way.
I went home and told my mom. She knew Zhang Qichang's identity. I hesitated, but I couldn't forget him. So when I knew this opportunity had come, I begged my mom to bring me here.
"Hmm, Wei Wei, you're very beautiful and brave, which I admire. I'm curious, is it just that you like Zhang Qichang's looks?"
"Yes, the first time I saw him, I thought, how could there be such a beautiful person in the world? Today I finally know, it turns out he takes after his wife."
"Hehe, Wei Wei, are you usually this direct?"
"Madam, please excuse my bluntness. My daughter Weiwei is just that straightforward." Tian Ying felt a little embarrassed; she herself felt a bit awkward about her daughter's words.
"No, Director Tian, I think Wei Wei is quite good."
"Wei Wei, although I'm Zhang Qichang's mother, I won't force him. How about this, I like you quite a bit too, how about we meet tomorrow if you have time?"
"Thank you, madam, thank you so much. I'm satisfied even if I don't succeed, I've had this opportunity."
Listening to the girl's words, Zhang Hongmei thought that the child was really good. She thought to herself that even if they didn't meet tomorrow, she wouldn't regret it.
Someone has taken a liking to her youngest son, but her fifth and sixth sons don't have any targets yet.
“Madam, I’m sorry to bother you tomorrow. We’re staying at a hotel. Where should we meet?” Tian Ying asked.
Zhang Hongmei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to my house tomorrow. I'll send someone to pick you up. Is 8 a.m. okay?"
"No problem, we'll wait at the coffee shop downstairs at eight o'clock."
"Can."
"Then my daughter and I won't bother you any longer."
Zhang Hongmei nodded with a smile, and Gan Lu went to see them off.
"Hongmei, does Xiaoqi have such charm?"
"Hehe, that's only how outsiders see it. In our eyes, they're still just kids."
"That's right, I think he's still too young."
After the dinner, there was an auction, and Zhang Hongmei was also seated below.
It looks quite professional; all the proceeds will be donated to the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas.
Surrounding Zhang Hongmei were three generations of a family. The little girl had thick, shiny black hair that obscured her face, but judging from her posture, she must have been raised by a large family.
The elderly person over there spent five million to buy three items at auction. That's quite a lot of money.
The old man turned his head to the side, smiled, and nodded to Zhang Hongmei.
The middle-aged woman next to her noticed the old woman's actions, turned her head to see Zhang Hongmei, paused for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
Zhang Hongmei nodded with a smile. She had finally seen the little girl; she was so beautiful! Zhang Hongmei thought the little girl was even prettier than herself.
"Madam, we would like to disturb you for a moment after the auction."
"Okay, let's meet at the coffee shop in a bit."
The little girl smiled generously at Zhang Hongmei, looking even prettier now.
Zhang Hongmei left early, and Gan Lu and the other three followed behind her.
"Madam, these are three members of the Zhou family, a prominent clan in the south."
"Oh? A big family from the South?"
"Yes, they have a particularly large mobile phone company in Country D."
But they were a bit different; the men went out, while all the women stayed at home.
"Okay, I understand. Have someone investigate this for me."
"Madam, the service company over there has their investigation report. I'll have them fax it over immediately."
"No rush, have them fax it to my home. I also need Tian Ying's and Wei Wei's reports."
"yes."
After Zhang Hongmei left, the Zhou family mother and her two children also left.
"Xiangyun, let's go to the coffee shop."
"Yes, Mom. Does Zhixin want to come too?"
"Yes, let's go together. There's nothing embarrassing about it."
After the three women left, their assistant sat down and continued to follow the auction.
They saw Zhang Hongmei in the coffee shop. "Madam, hello, I am Lan Fengjiao, this is my daughter-in-law Zhao Xiangyun, and my granddaughter Zhou Zhixin. I apologize for bothering you today."
"Sir, please have a seat."
"Thank you, Madam."
"I wonder what brings you here?"
"Madam, we are thinking of starting a mobile phone company in the country and would like to cooperate with you."
“Sir, you can talk to the person in charge about this project. I basically no longer pay attention to company matters.”
"Ganlu, have Sang Hongxiu contact Madam Zhou tomorrow."
