A few days later.
Germanic.
Chinese Restaurant.
Rui Xiaodan's mother, Zhang Huimin, looked at Zhou Qiang with some scrutiny.
"Zhou Qiang, how old are you?"
"Auntie, I'm two years older than Xiao Dan."
"Well, you two are of the same age." Zhang Huimin nodded, "Did you study in Chou Country before?"
"Yes, I studied for two years and then dropped out to speculate in U.S. stocks."
"Drop out? Why drop out? You can study while trading stocks and still have a diploma." Zhang Huimin was a little dissatisfied when she heard that Zhou Qiang dropped out.
"Auntie, I continued studying later and have obtained a master's degree."
"You already have a master's degree?! That's good. How about you speculating in US stocks?"
"It's not bad, I've made some money."
"Then do you have a stable job?" Zhang Huimin didn't understand what Zhou Qiang meant by making some money. Rui Xiaodan didn't tell her either. Therefore, she was worried about Zhou Qiang's income.
"Auntie, I have invested in several factories in the ancient city. I wonder if this counts as a stable job?"
"Invest in a factory? What kind of factory? What are the prospects? Is it a loan?" Zhang Huimin asked with a frown. She was worried that Zhou Qiang was in huge debt.
"Auntie, my investment is not big and I don't need a loan. It is a Chinese herbal medicine project. I can export Chinese patent medicines in the future and the prospects are good." Zhou Qiang is already familiar with his career. You can start a large business casually and make huge profits.
"Oh, it is true that a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs are exported, and the export of Chinese patent medicines should also be good. However, foreign standards must be strict, do you understand this?" Zhang Huimin reminded.
"Auntie, we have a dedicated person in charge of this. Foreign standards are high. We are very aware of them and implement them." Zhou Qiang's company will not only meet national standards.
Zhang Huimin nodded, "Xiao Zhou, I heard that your parents..."
Zhang Huimin's interrogation of Zhou Qiang lasted for more than an hour.
"Xiao Zhou, I don't object to your marriage to Xiao Dan, but you can't bully Xiao Dan. She is a bit naive... Let's discuss the specific wedding date with Xiao Dan's father." Zhang Huimin never mentioned the bride price. , about the garage. Like Rui Xiaodan, she doesn't care about these insignificant things.
"Auntie, betrothal gift, car, house, three pieces of gold..." Zhang Huimin didn't ask, but Zhou Qiang thought there was something else he should say. He told the truth.
Then, Rui Xiaodan's mother had a new understanding of Zhou Qiang. He was young, promising, smart and capable... and praised him with a lot of good words.
"Auntie, Xiao Dan has the idea of coming here to study in college. After Xiao Dan and I get married, we plan to live here permanently. I want to buy a suite. What do you recommend?"
"Buy a house? What do you want?" Zhang Huimin originally wanted Zhou Qiang and Rui Xiaodan to live with her, but she didn't say anything after thinking that young people like to live alone.
"It's best to have a villa, and it's close to Xiao Dan's university..." Zhou Qiang simply put forward a few requirements. But it will cost a lot.
】
"I understand, Xiao Zhou, I will help you pay attention." Zhang Huimin responded. She had a new understanding of Zhou Qiang's financial resources. After she finished chatting with Zhou Qiang, she went to Rui Xiaodan to ask about Zhou Qiang.
"Xiao Dan, Zhou Qiang gave me so many colorful gifts, why didn't you tell me? Also, how much is Zhou Qiang worth? He wants to buy a big villa and a big farm here..."
"Mom, those are not important. What I like is him, not those."
"Silly boy, those are not unimportant, the necessary material conditions must be met..." Zhang Huimin and Rui Xiaodan started chatting. Only then did she realize that Zhou Qiang was actually a billionaire.
The other side.
Zhou Qiang chatted with Uncle Qi.
Uncle Qi is the wife Zhang Huimin found. He can cook Cantonese cuisine.
"Xiao Zhou, I didn't expect you to know Cantonese cuisine. These tips you mentioned are all good. Come on, I'll try them now."
"Okay, Uncle Qi, I'll help you."
The meal will be ready soon.
Several people eat together.
"This is the food you cooked. It looks so good." Zhang Huimin was a little surprised.
"Have a try. Xiao Zhou taught me a few tricks today. It should taste better than before." Qi Bo said with a smile. He is a chef and understands the importance of what Zhou Qiang just said.
"Really? Xiao Zhou also knows Cantonese cuisine?" Zhang Huimin said as she took a bite, "Well, it does taste better than before. Xiao Zhou, you are really good."
"Uncle Qi is good at his craftsmanship." Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
"Mom, Zhou Qiang's cooking is delicious." Rui Xiaodan said happily.
...
Leaving Germania.
Rui Xiaodan and Zhou Qiang returned to China.
"Xiao Dan, it's time to find your father."
"Brother Qiang, I haven't contacted him for a long time. I..." Rui Xiaodan didn't know how to face her father. She didn't contact her father for years. She has always been prejudiced against her father and has not seen or spoken to him for many years.
Now that she suddenly wanted to contact her, she had some obstacles in her heart.
"Xiao Dan, you don't need to think too much. You just need to tell him about our affairs. I will take care of everything. Don't worry."
"Okay." Rui Xiaodan took out the phone book, flipped through a few pages, found the phone number of her father, Rui Weifeng, and called it.
"Hello, I'm Rui Weifeng. I'm in Lin'an and won't be back for a short time. If you have any questions, please leave a message or call the mobile phone. Thank you." There was a prompt tone on the phone.
Rui Xiaodan was calling a landline. Rui Weifeng is not at home.
"Brother Qiang, my father is not at home." Rui Xiaodan wanted to give up contacting her father.
"Then make a phone call, Xiao Dan, don't be afraid." Zhou Qiang encouraged. He had watched the TV series and knew that Rui Xiaodan's father loved her.
"Okay." Rui Weifeng's cell phone was also owned by Rui Xiaodan. She hesitated and called.
The call went through.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other side, "Is it Xiao Dan?"
"Uh, Dad, it's me, haven't you rested yet?" Rui Xiaodan was a little nervous. Zhou Qiang hugged her behind her.
"No, no, I'm planning to shoot a new movie in Lin'an, are you okay?" Rui Weifeng was also a little nervous. His daughter has not contacted him or answered his calls, and he has always had a knot in his heart. Although divorced, he loves his daughter.
He is not as irresponsible as Ouyang Xue's father.
"Everything is okay, Dad, I... I have a boyfriend. We are planning to get married. I want to go see you together and discuss the wedding date. Is it convenient?" Rui Xiaodan said. After she finished speaking, her body relaxed and she leaned closely against Zhou Qiang.
"What? Are you going to... get married?" Rui Weifeng was shocked, "Well, Xiao Dan, bring him here quickly and let me see what he looks like? How old is he? What does he do?" He didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for so many years. The daughter I contacted suddenly turned out to be getting married. His good cabbage was about to be eaten by the pig, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
"Dad, let's talk about it when we meet."
"Okay, um, can I have someone book your flights for you?"
"No, dad, I'll call you after I book the flight."
"Okay, Xiao Dan, I will pick you up at the airport when the time comes."
After a brief chat, Rui Xiaodan hung up the phone.
She felt something for a moment and talked about some past events.
"Brother Qiang, although my parents are divorced, they love me and they have always cared about me...
After Ouyang's parents divorced, they never took care of Ouyang.
Ouyang came out to work very early.
She set up a street stall,
I was kicked out by the urban management.
Chased by wild dogs,
And he was beaten by some gangsters..."
"Xiao Dan, Ouyang's life experience is indeed unfortunate. It is not easy for her to work hard to this point."
"Brother Qiang, your life experience is similar to that of Ouyang. It's not easy for you to be like this."
"I'm okay. I'm a man and I'm not afraid of being bullied."
"Really? Then I will bully you now." Rui Xiaodan turned over and pinned Zhou Qiang underneath him.
...
A few days later.
Lin'an.
"Are you Zhou Qiang? How old are you? Your height..." Rui Weifeng also interrogated Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang told the truth.
"Uncle, if you have any good show, please remember to come to me and I will invest." Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, when the time comes, you invest and let Xiao Dan play the heroine." Rui Weifeng said happily.
"Then shall I play the leading role?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"No, your temperament is not suitable for a male protagonist. You are suitable for a domineering president and a villain."
"What? Am I a positive image?"
...
"Xiao Dan, your wedding is scheduled for two months from now. It must be a grand event. I want to invite many friends..."
