Chapter 438 Given her background, your parents will definitely agree that you two should be together
The municipal government has not issued any new documents. If we go there, won’t we be exposed?
Tan Shengjie also didn't want to drive the big and strong Jiang Mei to the municipal government. A bicycle tire blowout was a small matter, but he was worried that he would die of exhaustion on the road.
Tan Shengjie thought about it for a while, then said with a smile, "I just remembered that I made a mistake. The document is about the May Day arrangements, and it's not important. If I pass by here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I can bring it here to save you the trip."
Zhou Rong: "Comrade Tan is busy with work, so it's not appropriate for you to make a trip. I have to go to the municipal government for a meeting tomorrow, so just bring it back."
Tan Shengjie: "...Okay, you guys go ahead, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
That night, Chen Guodong went to the government compound to find Tan Shengjie and report what he had found out.
"Comrade Zhou Xue is from a prominent family. Her mother is the deputy director of the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau. Her second and third aunts are both cadres. Her third aunt's father-in-law is the commander of our military region. Her uncle married the youngest daughter of Deputy Commander Xiao of the garrison area. Her second brother is a battalion commander and the son-in-law of the commander of the Northern Military Region.
Given her background, your parents will definitely agree that you two can be together!"
Tan Shengjie: "I went to the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau to look for Zhou Xue today. I wanted to invite her out for fun, but her mother found out. Fortunately, I was smart and smoothed things over.
You have no idea how nervous I was. This was the first time I was scared in front of a lesbian. "
Chen Guodong joked, "Her mother has three heads and six arms, and she scared you like this?"
Tan Shengjie: "Her mother is very pretty, more charming than Zhou Xue, but her temperament is very similar to my father's when he is arrogant. It's creepy to look at. You will know it when you see her someday."
Chen Guodong: "Now that you describe it, I can imagine it. It's as scary as my grandfather who was a political commissar.
Comrade Zhou Xue, are you going to pursue her or not?"
Tan Shengjie: "Of course I will pursue her! Not only will I pursue her, I will also ask my mother to propose marriage to her."
Chen Guodong: "Okay, brother, I'm waiting to drink at your wedding!"
After returning home, Tan Shengjie told his mother Xia Junlan that he had fallen in love with a girl at first sight and hoped that she would propose to him.
Xia Junlan counted on her fingers, saying, "This is the 29th girl you have told me about falling in love with at first sight. Your love is more overflowing than the river water during the flood season. When you have nothing to do, read more books and don't use random words.
The term "love at first sight" has nothing to do with you, so don't use it in the future."
Tan Shengjie: "...Mom, I'm your own son, how can you mock me like this?"
Xia Junlan: "If you were not my biological son, I would have thrown you into the river long ago. Why would I have to clean up so many messes for you?"
Tan Shengjie: "...Mom, I'm serious this time. That girl has studied in college, her appearance, conversation and temperament are impeccable, and the key is that she also has a prominent family background. She is definitely the daughter-in-law you have always dreamed of."
Xia Junlan: "Oh? Tell me about her situation."
After Xia Junlan finished listening to Tan Shengjie's story, she said happily, "I didn't expect that she was Comrade Zhou Rong's daughter. There will be a meeting at the municipal government tomorrow. When Comrade Zhou Rong comes, I will find an opportunity to test the waters. If he agrees, we will settle the matter."
Tan Shengjie: "Okay, thank you, Mom!"
Xia Junlan was the director of the Propaganda Department. The next day, when Zhou Rong came to the meeting, she took advantage of the break in the meeting to talk to Zhou Rong and kept asking about Nini's situation.
Zhou Rong guessed what Xia Junlan was thinking and declined politely, "Director Xia, my little daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. My two sons are not around, so I want to raise her for a few more years.
If she meets someone she likes and wants to start a family, I want her and her son-in-law to live in my house and accompany me all the time, otherwise I will be very lonely."
As soon as Xia Junlan heard this, she understood what Zhou Rong meant. He looked down on her son. Well, with the character of their son, even parents who loved their daughter would not like him.
But after all, he is her own son, and it is also related to the future of the Tan family. Xia Junlan wanted to fight for it, so she took Zhou Rong's hand and said with a smile: "Our Shengjie has been spoiled by us and is a little out of tune.
But he is not a bad person, he is just young and has not yet settled down. Once he gets married and has a wife to take care of him, he will not dare to be so unruly. If he has one or two more children and becomes a father, he will definitely focus all his attention on the family.
As parents, we all hope that our children will have a good marriage and a good future. How about this? Let your daughter and Shengjie spend some time together. If they don't get along, forget it. If they are destined to be together, we can become relatives."
The Tan family has connections in the officialdom, the military, and the education field. Their influence should not be underestimated, and it is not advisable to confront them head-on, otherwise you will hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of your own.
Zhou Rong didn't want to create a strong enemy for his family. After thinking for a while, he said, "I won't interfere with my children's relationship. If Comrade Tan Shengjie can woo my daughter, they can date. If my daughter doesn't want to date or has someone in her heart, then we can just forget about it. How about that?"
Xia Junlan: "Okay, let's do it this way. It all depends on their fate."
While Xia Junlan was trying to persuade Zhou Rong, Tan Shengjie had already gone to the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bureau to find Nini, wanting to invite her out for dinner and then to the movies.
Nini refused directly, saying that she was very busy and had no time.
Tan Shengjie: "I'll help you with the work you haven't finished, and we'll go out after you finish it."
Nini: "No need, I can do it myself, please go away and don't get in the way."
Tan Shengjie moved closer to Nini and whispered, "Don't be so aggressive when you speak. My mom has gone to ask your mom for marriage, and we will be married soon. We will be a family from now on, so you have to be gentle."
Nini glared at Tan Shengjie and said, "What kind of person are you? Don't you have any idea? My mother has high standards for sons-in-law. She would definitely not like someone like you. Your mother's proposal is doomed to fail. You should go back and comfort your mother."
Tan Shengjie: "...I do have some minor flaws, but I can change them! You don't even understand me, but you're just bashing me. That's not fair."
Nini didn't want to waste time talking to Tan Shengjie, so she just focused on her work and ignored him.
Tan Shengjie was not annoyed. He followed Nini wherever she went, helping her move and organize files. He also chattered about which restaurant in Jiangcheng had the best dishes and which places were the most fun, and said he would take Nini to experience them all in the future.
Nini was annoyed by his noise: "Can you be quiet and let me work in peace?"
Tan Shengjie: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll just sit aside and watch you."
Nini: "Did you pursue girls like this before?"
Tan Shengjie: "No! After they found out about my family's situation, they all approached me on their own initiative. Only you, I took the initiative to pursue you.
How about you give me a chance to show my strengths? "
Nini: "You still have advantages. Who gives you the confidence?"
Tan Shengjie: “…”
