Someone who had money and status, and was very young. This was the perfect son-in-law she wanted to find. Previously, these were her criteria, but she had never found a suitable suitor. It happened that he either had money or status. Or if he had both, he was old enough to be Little Chu’s father.
Although Han Qianjing put a premium on her criteria, if the suitor was a little too old, she would eliminate him without hesitation.
She was not a fool. Chu Jinyu was still so young. She could not possibly live as a widow just to have these things. Just thinking about it was painful. She hoped that after removing these rigid criteria, she and her suitor would be able to fall in love.
However, she thought she must be thinking too much.
Such a person did not exist at all. Take Lu Ming, whom Chu Jinyu had taken a liking to, for example. Although he had satisfied some of her criteria, his family background was not good. That was why it was said that reincarnation was a skill.
She rubbed her temples and said, “Perhaps if Lu Ming was from the Lu family, I wouldn’t have such a headache.”
It was not that she took a fancy to the Lu family. Based on Lu Ming’s ability and agile brain, he was worthy of her attention.
For dandy sons like Lu Ze, her conditions were much higher. After all, it was a business-alliance marriage. They definitely had to choose a better family. The Tang family was not bad, but Tang Wenyi was not favored in the Tang family. In addition, Lu Yaohua was not much of a help either. In her opinion, there was no hope.
Chu Jinyu looked down on those elite families in Beijing.
This marriage was really difficult to decide.
“Do you have any news about the owner of No. 1 Residence?”
After pondering for a moment, Xu Wei said, “There’s very little news because he lives in seclusion and basically no one has seen what he looks like. I only know that there are many businesses under his name, and his net worth is probably several billion yuan. As for which family he belongs to…
We still haven’t found out anything. There are also people who speculate that he started from scratch, but I don’t think the possibility is high because I’ve never seen someone make a name for himself at such a young age. But if he has the support of his family, why is he virtually unknown?”
She paused, then said, “Of course, that’s just my personal guesswork.”
“Your guesses make sense.”
Han Qianjing exhaled and said, “Have you sent an invitation?”
“It’s already been delivered. It’s in the mailbox by the door, but it doesn’t seem to be moving. Maybe he hasn’t been living here recently.”
In other words, she was implying that he could be living somewhere else. After all, rich people like Han Qianjing and Chu Jinyu typically had apartments all over the country, so perhaps the owner of the house next door also had other residences.
“What do you think the chances of success are for me to force Chu Jinyu to marry someone?”
Han Qianjing took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Xu Wei’s stiffened. “Missy has a stubborn personality that’s a little similar to yours. She won’t stop until she achieves her goal.”
“Like?”
Han Qianjing said with a faint smile, “She’s still far from that. After following me for so long, she only learned this much.”
For some reason, Xu Wei felt that Han Qianjing seemed to dislike being talked about. Chu Jinyu was similar to her. She hid the emotions in her eyes and said, “Missy is still young.”
“Being young is not something she can brag about.”
Han Qianjing retorted expressionlessly, “Continue to watch her and report to me constantly. If she does anything out of line or defames the family, bring her back.”
“… I understand.”
Outside.
Chu Jinyu smiled like a flower and said, “Oh right, I have to thank you again. If it weren’t for you, the R & D department would definitely be in a mess. It’s all thanks to you that we could manage the staff.”
“They are all talented young people.”
This made them a little arrogant. Initially, no matter what orders Lu Ming issued, those people did not take him seriously. How could he not know what they were thinking?
As long as he was more capable than them, they would definitely listen to him.
He would give them a carrot after the stick. Lu Ming was very familiar with this tactic. Then they would not dare to defy his orders.
Chu Jinyu seemed to have thought of something and said, “They all secretly say that you’re like a big demon king and that you always keep your word. Although you let them speak freely, only a small number of bold people dare to speak up.”
“Demon king?”
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. “But I don’t think I’m that fierce, right? But it’s no wonder, every time I speak, no one raises their hand.”
“I also think that Brother Lu Ming is not fierce.”
If anyone else in the company heard this, they would definitely retort with all their might: “Boss, quickly remove your filter that’s thousands of meters thick!”
Chu Jinyu continued, “Coincidentally, there is a vacancy for a department head in my company. I’ll promote you to this position. How about that?”
“Well…”
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jinyu said, “Indeed, the position is too low. Why don’t I let you be a manager?”
She was just short of giving him the branch company.
Lu Ming knew that she was doing this for his good. He said helplessly, “I just joined the company not long ago. If I get promoted so quickly, I will be criticized.”
“But the commercial this time was very successful. It’s enough to justify your promotion. Don’t tell me you want to reject me, Brother Lu Ming?”
Chu Jinyu sounded aggrieved.
Could he reject her?
Obviously not.
Lu Ming looked at her as if he was looking at a naughty child. He said helplessly, “Alright, then promote me to department head.”
“Yay! The next time you accomplish something, I’ll promote you to manager!”
Chu Jinyu immediately changed her expression and said happily.
“Why do I feel that you’re in a hurry?”
Lu Ming sensed that something was wrong and asked.
Chu Jinyu looked at him fixedly. If I tell you the truth, what if you leave me? She did not want this to happen, but she could not lie to him.
She had no choice but to say, “… I want to stand with you. Don’t you think that one’s perspective is different depending on where one stands?”
She wanted to bring Brother Lu Ming home.
If Brother Lu Ming could make a name for himself, her mother would definitely not stop them from being together. She believed that with his ability, he could do it. However, she did not have much time left. Now that her mother was pressing her to get married, she had to add fuel to the fire.
Lu Ming did not pursue the matter. “I understand.”
Since she did not want to say it, then there was no need to. He firmly believed that no matter what, Chu Jinyu would not harm him.
Chu Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the thread of their previous conversation. “I also bought you a pretty good car. It’s the Porsche Panamera, which has become more popular recently. In terms of cost-efficiency, it’s quite worth it. It didn’t cost much, just about 2 million yuan…”
Before she could finish, a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
“Mr.. Lu? Am I in the wrong place?”
