"Well, you know I attend Beiman Girls' High School. Many of the girls there come from families similar to yours. If your family is in a hurry, I can help you find a marriage partner."
The more Huang Wanzhen spoke, the darker Chu Yanzhi's face became. Finally, his expression automatically made Huang Wanzhen shut up.
"Am I such a casual person?!"
Huang Wanzhen opened and closed her mouth, but she didn't say anything that belittled herself. "A great man in my mind once said that dating without the purpose of getting married is just hooliganism. Our family backgrounds are so different, your family will definitely not agree. You also said that you are not young anymore, and your family is urging you to get married. If you get married and marry a girl, I will be involved again. Wouldn't that be miserable?"
Although Chu Yanzhi was in a bad mood, he still forced himself to cheer up and said to Huang Wanzhen, "If you don't like it, just say so. There's no need to slander me with such words. How could I be nice to you and then turn around and marry someone else?!"
Huang Wanzhen said seriously, "I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about the future. I just like you. There are so many things in life, which one isn't more important than 'liking' you? Feelings have a shelf life. When it expires, and your parents ask you to make a choice, will you abandon your family and be with a woman whose feelings have withered and whose face has changed beyond recognition?"
"I, I don't know." Chu Yanzhi didn't understand why he had to choose between his family and a woman. Can't he just "not make a choice?"
"You can try." Huang Wanzhen pondered for a moment and continued, "I allow you to investigate me and show your parents the report on me. Tell them that you want to marry the woman in the report and see if they agree. If they agree, you can come to me. If they don't agree, don't come to me."
After a hasty farewell to Chu Yanzhi, Beiman Girls' School confirmed the time for a new round of final exams. Huang Wanzhen was busy with her own affairs and had no time to think about it. After three consecutive days of exams, Beiman Girls' School had its winter vacation.
On the first day of winter vacation, Huang Wanzhen went to the police station on the street to find Li Guozi and ask about applying for a gun license. As for Chu Yanzhi, it seemed like there was no hope.
The answer was that after filling out the form and submitting the information, it would take half a year for the application to be approved. Huang Wanzhen thought to herself, if she had known this would happen, she would have stayed up all night and made time for Chu Yanzhi to go see her Browning.
"Why does it take so long? Is there any faster way?" Huang Wanzhen said as she cunningly stuffed a dollar into his mouth.
Li Guozi quickly put the dollar into his pocket and said with a smile, "I'll help you rush it. If you ask me, don't be anxious. This matter can't be done in a hurry."
Huang Wanzhen saw that he was being ambiguous and stuffed another dollar into his pocket. "I'm just anxious to practice shooting. I heard that this gun has a strong recoil. If I don't practice, I won't be able to hit the target."
"Hey," Li Guozi took the dollar, turned his wrist, and put it back into his pocket. "Hey, I'll get you a temporary one and stamp it with our stamp. Go ahead and practice. You won't get into trouble on this street."
Huang Wanzhen shook the paper in her hand with a look of disgust, thinking, two dollars for this thing, it's too expensive. I have to find a place on this street to practice shooting. If I go somewhere else, I'm afraid the patrol won't recognize me. Oh! It's really suffocating when I don't have any special privileges to use.
Even so, Huang Wanzhen returned to Jixiang Hall and took out a red silk purse. She carefully folded the paper, stuffed it in, and then put it in her inner pocket. This thing cost two dollars, so she had to keep it well. If she lost it, she would have to spend another two dollars.
"Meeting, meeting, each shop should send someone to my studio for a meeting!" After finishing her personal affairs, Huang Wanzhen ran to the shop and started a new round of work.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many people making new clothes. From today on, the shops will close an hour later, and not everyone has to stay to work. Each shop only needs one person to stay every day, and the accountant will arrange the shifts. Submit the duty roster to me tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, I can look for people according to the roster!" At this point, Huang Wanzhen suddenly thought of Song Wenyin. That guy hadn't been seen for a long time, and no one knew what he was doing.
After arranging some matters in the shop, Huang Wanzhen left Xiao Shitou and Shi Zhen alone. "You two, find a few people and come with me to the Xinmin Daily in a couple of days. I'm going to settle accounts with Zhan Yongwen!"
When Little Stone heard this, he shrank his neck and said, "Manager, Editor Zhan is my boss. It's not a good idea for me to go with him, right?"
"Manager, I'll go!" Hai Li, who was clearing the tea, held the tea tray in one hand and raised the other to shout, "My ninth senior brother recently returned from abroad. He's got some great kung fu skills. He can beat eight people by himself!"
A few days ago, Hai Li happened to hear the eldest sister asking the ninth senior brother to go out and find a job, saying that a grown man like him cannot always stay at home and not go out to work. Now he has got the opportunity. Manager Huang has always been generous, and he will definitely not lose out by working for her.
"Oh? Your ninth senior brother? Is he Master's junior brother?" Counting from Chen Yumei's side, Hai Li is a generation older than Huang Wanzhen! However, that's how generations are calculated, and Hai Li doesn't dare to say that.
"When did you come back?" Huang Wanzhen calculated that because of the preparation and examination, she hadn't been to the "Xingyi Martial Arts School" on Hulu Street for a week.
"Last Friday."
"Oh! Little Stone, Shi Zhen, go back to work first. I'll find you if there's anything else." Huang Wanzhen sent Little Stone and Shi Zhen away, leaving Hai Li alone. She asked carefully, "Do you know what Uncle Nine does for a living?"
When Shen Junyan was looking for a martial arts master for Huang Wanzhen, he told Huang Wanzhen not to ask about Chen Yumei's private affairs. Huang Wanzhen never knew how many uncles and aunts she had. Today, taking advantage of the topic of Uncle Nine, Huang Wanzhen secretly asked Hai Li.
Don't mention it, Hai Li actually knew, "It was Sister Yuya and Brother Yubao who told me."
"Oh! So, Master has ten disciples, and Xiao Yubao is my tenth uncle."
"No, no, Old Man Chen has had countless disciples throughout his life. Aside from my eldest sister and Yubao, the other eight were properly raised by his knees, performed the solemn ceremony of kneeling and bowing to him. They are considered half his sons, and he will take care of them until his death. There's no need to be so particular about this between you and my eldest sister."
"My master is the eldest senior sister, what about the other senior uncles?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Haili was furious at the mention of this. "I heard from Sister Yuya that before Old Man Chen died, he wanted Second Senior Brother to take over his legacy, but Second Senior Brother didn't want to marry First Senior Sister and stayed at our Chen family's 'Xingyi Martial Arts School'. The younger brothers followed suit, and only Eighth and Ninth Senior Brothers stayed. But First Senior Sister thought they were too young and didn't want to marry them, so she ended up setting up a female household herself and inherited the master's legacy."
