~9 min read 1,663 words

Facing the questioning gaze of his future mother-in-law, Liu Kai thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Shu is my sister's father-in-law, which is to say, my brother-in-law's father."

Pei Mingmei: "........."

She had never expected this answer; Zhang Ran looked so young, yet he was actually Zhang Sicheng's father!

"Auntie, don't let Zhang Shu's youthful appearance fool you; he is actually over fifty years old." Seeing Pei Mingmei's expression, Liu Kai understood what she was thinking and spoke immediately.

Pei Mingmei finally recovered slightly, and then she heard Liu Kai ask, "Auntie, do you know Zhang Shu?"

Pei Mingmei said subconsciously, "I saw him the day before yesterday."

As soon as these words were out, Gu Panpan reacted immediately, "Mom, is this the person you mentioned who brought out a dowry with a total value of two million?"

The day before yesterday, as soon as Pei Mingmei returned home, she told her family about this matter, her tone full of envy, and even said it would be best if Gu Panpan could find a boyfriend like that.

Pei Mingmei did not answer her daughter's question and asked, "Is Mr. Zhang planning to remarry?"

"No, that was a betrothal gift for my sister. When my brother-in-law married my sister back then, his conditions were likely limited, so he didn't give a betrothal gift; Zhang Shu is making up for it now," Liu Kai explained.

After saying this, he looked at Pei Mingmei and said, "Auntie, please rest assured, I will definitely give Panpan the best life, and I agree to all your conditions."

Just as he finished speaking, Pei Mingmei said with a face full of smiles, "Actually, Auntie was just talking to you before; it was a kind of test.

I know you are good to Panpan, and Auntie is at ease. The betrothal gift doesn't need to be much, eighty-eight thousand is fine for good luck, and we will buy you a car when the time comes."

Once these words were out, both Liu Kai and Gu Panpan were somewhat dumbfounded.

Didn't she just say there was no room for negotiation on the conditions?

How did it change so much in an instant!

However, they were not fools, and they instantly thought of the reason. Pei Mingmei's behavior just now was not a test at all, and the reason for the change was Zhang Ran's appearance, or rather, a single sentence from Zhang Ran.

Liu Lu watched Pei Mingmei, whose attitude had changed abruptly, and she didn't know what to think in her heart.

Originally, she had been prepared to compromise, but she hadn't expected that just because of one sentence from Zhang Ran, Pei Mingmei would change her attitude directly.

Zhang Sicheng had been watching silently from the side; he only needed to follow along for such matters, he didn't need to make the decisions. After all, it wasn't his younger brother, and there was still Liu Lu in between.

However, he was also somewhat surprised in his heart at the effect his father's words had achieved.

Seeing their gazes, Pei Mingmei's expression was also somewhat awkward. She knew that such a change was a bit abrupt, but there was no help for it; she didn't want her daughter to miss this opportunity.

Although, according to the situation, Zhang Ran was only Liu Lu's father-in-law and wouldn't necessarily look after Liu Kai much, it would be enough if Liu Lu just took care of him a little.

It is actually somewhat ironic to say that when facing families without money, many people like to open their mouths like lions and demand more in betrothal gifts.

But when facing wealthy families, they generally wouldn't ask for more, and Pei Mingmei was in such a situation.

Although Liu Kai was surprised, he hadn't reached the point of being a fool, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely take good care of Panpan."

Gu Panpan was also full of smiles, "Thank you, Mom."

"You silly girl, isn't your mom doing all this for you? What are you thanking me for?"

Actually, Pei Mingmei had another thought in her heart, which was to see if she could rely on this distant connection through Liu Kai to borrow Zhang Ran's influence, allowing her to advance further.

At noon, Pei Mingmei treated them to a meal, and then Zhang Ran and the others politely declined Pei Mingmei's invitation and drove away.

Shanghai.

Tian Ya looked at her father, her tone somewhat anxious as she said, "Dad, Sun Gaixin and I have communicated with Kangshilan many times, but they haven't given us an answer yet; they haven't said they agree, nor have they said they don't.

They just keep dragging it out like this. What do you think we should do now?"

They had been contacting Kangshilan about cooperation for these past few days, but for some reason, the efficiency on Kangshilan's side was surprisingly slow.

No matter what conditions they offered, they were always fobbed off with phrases like "we are discussing it" and "things shouldn't be rushed."

At first, Tian Ya and the others didn't feel anything, but as time went on, they realized that it seemed Kangshilan had no intention of cooperating with them at all.

Tian Yaohui looked at Sun Gaixin, who was standing to the side, and said, "Gaixin, what is your take on this matter?"

Sun Gaixin immediately said respectfully, "President Tian, Kangshilan's attitude is actually understandable. After all, although we have researched some good cosmetics, they aren't essential for them.

Moreover, the conditions we offered before were indeed a bit high, so it is quite normal for them not to agree."

Compared to Tian Ya, who didn't care much about business, Sun Gaixin was well-versed in these situations.

Tian Yaohui nodded, looking quite satisfied, "Not bad, what you said is all true. If Kangshilan had agreed immediately, I would have been suspicious."

"Dad, then why did you make us insist on such conditions?" Tian Ya was getting anxious.

This was her and Sun Gaixin's career, it belonged to the two of them, so of course she was very anxious.

Furthermore, according to Tian Yaohui's wishes, they could only get married after this company slowly got on the right track.

Tian Ya couldn't wait for the company to get on the right track immediately; she had no patience to wait.

Tian Yaohui looked at his daughter and said helplessly, "You, can you have a little patience?"

"Dad, I know you have a way, just tell me about it," Tian Ya coaxed.

"Do you know what the purpose of my coming here this time is?" Tian Yaohui asked.

"Isn't it to handle company matters?"

"That is one reason, but the most important thing is to resolve the matter of your two companies," Tian Yaohui said.

"Dad, I knew you had a way, tell me quickly," Tian Ya became excited all of a sudden.

Sun Gaixin was also looking at Tian Yaohui with burning eyes; he was also impatient now. Wasn't everything he did for the sake of achieving something in his career?

Tian Yaohui said, "Have you finished sending out the invitations I asked you to send a few days ago?"

"They're all sent, Dad. What does this have to do with our Engagement ceremony?" Tian Ya asked, puzzled.

Although Tian Yaohui wouldn't let them get married right now, the Engagement had already been decided.

Tian Yaohui said, "Do you know what Kangshilan is doing right now?"

"Uh... not very clear."

"They are seeking cooperation, and the cooperation partner is Prince Haiman," a trace of a triumphant smile appeared on Tian Yaohui's face.

The successful operation of this matter really made him very proud.

Tian Ya didn't understand what Tian Yaohui meant, but Sun Gaixin understood immediately. Sun Gaixin couldn't help but become excited, "President Tian, what do you mean?"

"Do you know why I insisted on such high conditions?" Tian Yaohui said this first, then continued: "It is because I have already made contact with Prince Haiman's team. When the time comes, as long as Konsilan still wants to cooperate with Prince Haiman, they will have to go through us."

"Ah~" Tian Ya suddenly let out a sharp cry, then said with an excited and thrilled expression: "Dad, do you mean that Prince Haiman will also come to attend my Engagement ceremony?"

Seeing Tian Yaohui nod, Tian Ya jumped up all at once; compared to business matters, she cared much more about this.

This was Prince Haiman, after all; not to mention his status and position, his fame in Huaxia was already very great, and many, many Huaxia people liked this Prince Haiman.

It was not just because of Prince Haiman's status, but more so because this Prince Haiman was very close to Huaxia and could even speak Chinese.

"At that time, I will invite some friends from the business world. You two should also prepare yourselves to meet more people and make some friends." Although Tian Yaohui's words were directed at the two of them, his gaze was fixed on Sun Gaixin.

Sun Gaixin understood Tian Yaohui's meaning; he was trying his best to help him pave the way for connections, wanting him to grow up quickly.

Sun Gaixin really did not expect happiness to come so suddenly; previously, he always felt that Tian Yaohui did not care much about him, and that the only reason he gave him a company was entirely because of Tian Ya.

But for some reason, after his divorce, he could clearly feel that Tian Yaohui seemed to be intentionally cultivating him.

Tian Yaohui ignored the two excited people, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery in the distance, his eyes somewhat profound.

His goal this time was not just this, and he had not told Sun Gaixin and the other person that he would also invite one more person; that was his main objective this time!
