Chapter 67 Chapter 67 is probably what netizens call "rich family..."
"Since you'd rather skip class and stay home, tell me about the Sister Wen you mentioned."
Sui Xingjia personally brewed tea and handed the cup to her grandmother. "I didn't want to go to class anyway, so now's the perfect time for me to do so. Besides, even if there weren't any benefits, how could a woman of such righteousness like me let my friend go into such a dangerous place alone?"
"Longtanhuxue? How can you say that about your family?"
The old lady doted on her granddaughter very much, and the two of them often went racing together. She didn't feel offended and smiled when she heard this.
"Boss Sui is just as difficult to deal with as my brother. I don't even dare to bother my aunt, let alone since she's not even a member of our family," Sui Xingjia said with a smile. "Sister Wen has a great personality. At first, I really didn't expect her to be with my brother. They seemed so unrelated!"
The grandparents chatted for a while on this topic.
The old lady is old and retired, and looks much kinder, but Sui Mingshi will always be Sui Mingshi. The aura of the head of the Sui family has never faded, and the vision of the head of the Sui family has never disappeared.
Although the old lady didn't pay any attention to her grandson's situation, she would not simply think that he compromised because he could not bear the pressure from his family. There must be other reasons for kicking such a career-oriented man into the cage of the family.
So, how could this future granddaughter-in-law be such a simple person?
The agarwood door was knocked rhythmically, and the sound was particularly textured.
"The guests have arrived. Mr. Sui invites you to come downstairs to start the banquet."
A young and pure male voice came gently through the door.
After receiving the response, the boy pushed the door open and walked in, respectfully following behind the old lady, one step behind Miss Xingjia, like a bright color disappearing in the shadows.
Sui Xingjia was unfamiliar with his face and turned to take another look. "Is this the new deacon Grandma chose? Is he nineteen years old? He seems more pleasing to the eye than the last one."
Sui Mingshi smiled but did not answer.
She strode forward gracefully. As time passed, wrinkles inevitably appeared on her face, but sixty-seven was the best age for a woman, and thousands of men were still fascinated by her.
——Oh, no, it should be said that every year is the best age for a woman.
She was too lazy to answer, but Deacon Bai couldn't ignore the young lady's question: "Miss Xingjia, my last name is Bai, I'm twenty-two years old, and I'm sorry for the compliment."
"You look quite young then."
Wen Qingyang also felt so.
To show respect, Xiao Wen immediately stood up from the sofa to greet him, and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with this even more important legendary figure. He bowed slightly to show respect when introducing himself.
Ms. Sui Mingshi...
Sui Dong is undoubtedly one of the top leaders of the time and an idol admired by countless women with dreams, but whenever Sui Mingshi appears, people always feel a little shudder in their hearts.
After all, for the younger generation, when the names engraved in textbooks come into reality, when the protagonist of the story of starting from scratch and building a business empire that they have heard since childhood stands in front of them, who can ignore the excitement in their hearts?
The overly young face of the man behind Ms. Sui attracts too much attention in this contrast, which makes people sigh that under the shadow of the evergreen tree of power that blocks out the sun, there must be no shortage of flowers and plants craving for nourishment.
This is how a superior should behave.
She thought so.
The timing of the Sui family dinner is actually very difficult to coordinate.
Especially Mr. Sui, a busy man, has a lot of official duties.
But Mr. Sui also expressed his importance by taking time out to meet with Wen's mother and father, and specially attended the family dinner today.
Wen Qingyang put himself in the other's shoes and felt that the other party was very well-educated: even though the career of the heir he had carefully cultivated was halfway broken, President Sui did not show any arrogance in front of Wen's mother and father. There was respect in his coldness, and he did not blame others for his child's problems.
Wen Qingyang thought, perhaps this was one of the reasons why he was willing to get married.
After all, she is not really gentle and has no temper. If the so-called top wealthy families only despise and look down on the lower class people, then she will definitely take revenge on Mr. Sui. Could it be that she is a good person?
However, today was the time when Wen's father usually went to the hospital, and she was afraid that coming to such a luxurious house would make the two elders uncomfortable, so she also declined on behalf of her mother and father.
"Qingyang, there's no need to be so reserved." The old lady smiled slightly.
Wen Qingyang suppressed his thoughts, nodded and took a seat.
"Minister Wen, right? I saw your Operations Planning Department's new joint proposal a few days ago. It's quite impressive, to be honest."
She looked up from the table full of dishes when she heard the voice, and saw that the speaker was Mr. Sui, who rarely came to the headquarters, and was also Sui Yi's aunt, so she hurriedly declined.
Because everyone calls the other person "Mr. Sui", Sui Yi can only be called "Little Mr. Sui" until now.
Sui Chongying also had a cold expression inherited from her ancestors. The three of them, mother and daughter, sat at the same table and could vaguely see some similarities, but also differences: the old lady always had a smile on her face, which made her seem quite friendly; Director Sui was completely cold and solemn, with few emotions showing in his eyes or eyebrows; and Aunt Sui occasionally smiled, without any "official" flavor on her.
It is no wonder that the famous Sui Erniang was a playboy from her youth to middle age, and was surrounded by many beautiful women, and she was not so passionate about her work.
"Does Qingyang have other sisters or brothers?" asked the uncle beside him with a smile.
Wen Qingyang shook his head: "Not really."
Sui Yi had told her about this second wife, a renowned model of a respectable and generous wife. It was said that her children were all academically accomplished. Therefore, even if President Sui's external affairs were flourishing, the red flag at home showed no sign of falling, and her position was very stable.
"Oh, so you and Ayi have such a good relationship that you're willing to become her daughter-in-law?"
Sui Yi frowned slightly and spoke first: "When two people get married, why bother to distinguish between who is the heir apparent and who is not?"
My uncle only knew that this talented young man came from a poor family, so he thought Sui Yi was just looking for a wife to support his career. But he didn't expect that the reality was completely different.
"What Ayi said is true." Wen Qingyang reached out and poured him another bowl of soup. His attitude was frank, and his words were somewhat flattering. "Uncle is right to care about Ayi. With a family as high as the Sui family, there are always those with bad intentions who want to marry the young master and get rich overnight."
"But we really love each other."
At this point, she tilted her head to glance at Mr. Sui and chuckled, "So they're willing to enter into marriage as equals, living together without burden, rather than one party holding back their anger for a moment to seek greater benefits. Just thinking about it makes me uneasy."
She directly pointed out the concerns that wealthy families often have when marrying off their husbands, which in turn made everyone at the table look at her with more respect.
In her words, she also hinted that people who really wanted to be a daughter-in-law should be wary, and her frankness was much better than that kind of person.
Moreover, with just a few words, he transferred the sharpness of Sui Yi's retort to his uncle to himself, without offending the Second Madam, and broke the cold atmosphere that had just appeared.
Sui Dong only looked at her deeply, his expression difficult to read.
My uncle immediately reacted and continued, "Qingyang is coming back to protect me now? From now on, I'm afraid he will be a strict husband and will cherish our Yi very much!"
Sui Xingjia was afraid his father would remember he wasn't supposed to be there, so he took the opportunity to stir things up: "Dad, you don't know, on my brother's birthday, Sister Wen gave him every birthday present from the first half of his life. It was so romantic!"
"That's what young people should be like." The old lady laughed. "Before, Yi sat in the office all day working overtime, cold and lifeless. Now that Qingyang is here, things are different. It's great."
"So good that he even cut his shares in half. How affectionate!"
After Mr. Sui finished speaking, his cold eyes fell on the tip of Sui Yi's nose, and then moved away lightly.
This sentence was not very pleasant to hear, and it indeed attracted everyone's attention.
Wen Qingyang, however, showed no sign of anxiety. He smiled calmly, without offering any excuses for not wanting fame or fortune. "Ayi transferred a small amount of shares to me, and the rest was just a promise to give me some after marriage. Between husband and wife, property is shared. I've already been working for the group, so wouldn't I be willing to fight for Sui no matter what? So why would I reject his kindness?"
He downplayed the seriousness of the matter lightly, and his ability to distort facts was first-rate.
Mr. Sui lowered his eyebrows and ignored him.
But Xu Zhi, standing by, keenly sensed that the Patriarch was in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't be so nonchalant. Or perhaps, he actually had some appreciation for her?
Sui Xingjia got the look from Sister Wen and immediately said in support: "You're right."
Sui Chongying looked her over for a few rounds and agreed:
"It's been hard for a boy like Yi to work so hard for so many years. Having a wife who fights alongside him can help relieve some of his burden and save our family from excessive worry."
"I think Qingyang is very capable. Why not transfer him to the branch to be a vice president first to test the waters? After all, it's our own group, and he can move up slowly and logically in the future."
"A deeply loving couple is a good thing. You two are both very good-looking. After marriage, you'll be seen a lot more often, and the gossip media will definitely flock to you. This will help market the group's products effortlessly. I guess you're what netizens call a 'rich and powerful couple'?"
Sui Mingshi nodded with satisfaction.
My uncle complained, "We were discussing Ah Yi's marriage, and now you're talking about the company's work again."
"Hey, Sister Wen also works part-time as a top anchor, she already has a huge fan base!"
"live streaming?"
Sui Yi picked out a spicy dish and handed it to her. He said calmly, "Qing Er, the famous emotional anchor on the Cen family platform, has such high commercial value that she has been contacted for cooperation with countless products, but she refused them all."
The old lady put down her spoon and said, "The live streaming platform is also a huge blue ocean. Our main products are expensive and not suitable for noisy live streaming, so we have never put any effort into this aspect."
Mr. Sui continued, "We submitted a proposal for multi-platform promotion this year, and it's still under discussion. The main point of contention is whether it will diminish the high-end image of our products and cause the loss of our original customers."
"But 'Qing'er' is fine." Wen Qingyang blended in smoothly. "This account has an intelligent and gentle image. The fact that it doesn't promote products will earn netizens' trust and reduce the smell of money. Sui's products can also serve as an endorsement, giving the account a sense of sophistication. I'm sure the 1+1 effect will be greater than 2."
She uttered two words: "Win-win."
The old lady made the final decision: "That's exactly how it should be. As the saying goes, good things should stay within the family. It's better to have both sides benefit from it than to have a celebrity endorsement who might explode at any moment."
Sui Dong nodded.
Xu Zhi understood and left the restaurant to do a background check on the account.
Only Sui Yi raised and lowered his eyes.
He thought: Who still remembers that today is the day to set the wedding date?
