Chapter 443: I Knew That Was the Way
Li Xin's mother was of course very happy when she heard this, but she couldn't express her position directly, so she turned her head and asked Li Xin's father: "Lao Li, what do you think?"
"This kid looks pretty good, well-informed, how long have you been dating?" asked Li Xin's father.
"About half a year. ”
"It's only been half a year of dating, do you know her? What do her parents do?" Li Xin's mother was a little worried.
"As soon as I entered the sugar company, I was in the same office with her, and I should know her better, her parents are both government officials. ”
"It's been half a year of dating, and you didn't bring her back early for us to see, so that we can get to know her better. Isn't it a bit hasty to bring her back now that you want to marry her for the first time?"
"Mom, I'm not asking for your opinion, and I don't mean that I am going to get married soon, I will often bring her back on weekends in the future, you can have more contact with her, and slowly get to know her. As for whether it is in a hurry, I think the most important thing is to look at the person, some people have been in contact for a long time, and you can't really understand her, but some people have not been in contact for a long time, and you can know what she thinks in her heart. ”
"Then tell me honestly, does your purchase of a villa in Shanghai have anything to do with her?"
Li Xin thought for a moment and replied, "There should be." ”
"I knew it was like this!" Li Xin's mother looked unexpected.
"Mom, I said that the purchase of the villa has something to do with her, but it doesn't mean that she asked me to buy the villa. I bought that villa because I like the environment of Shanghai very much, and the villa is next to the financial development zone, it is really beautiful, I can't find such a good villa anywhere else, even if my girlfriend is someone else, I will buy this villa. ”
"Whose name is on the title deed of this villa?"
"My name, of course. ”
"Is it just your name?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"It's not that mom is too careful, but I want to remind you that there are some things you have to think through before you get married. Does she know you have so much money?"
"I don't know. ”
"You spent 60 million to buy a villa in front of her, and she didn't ask you?"
She did, but I didn't tell her in detail. ”
"That's not bad. You said such a big thing, you kept me and your dad so tight, and only told us today that you have so much money, I don't think you will take this matter and tell outsiders about it. ”
"Mom, I didn't mean to hide it from you, you also know that I'm not the kind of person who shows off everywhere, is it necessary to talk about this matter everywhere?"
"You just said that you want to marry her, when are you going to do it?"
"I'll ask for your opinion first, and then you'll agree, and we haven't figured out a specific time. ”
"Do her parents know?"
"I haven't told her parents yet, and I just made up my mind this holiday. ”
"Your kid has to change this problem in the future, don't keep everything in your heart and don't say anything, and only notify us when it's over, which makes us very passive. ”
"Got it, Mom. ”
"Lao Li, what do you say?"
Li Xin's father said: "The matter between you and Xiao Xia mainly depends on your own understanding of each other, we can only help you observe it from the side." As long as you can talk, we can't stop you. Marriage is a big deal, and we hope you are both good and cautious. If you do get together, we should take the initiative to visit Natsu's house and visit her parents before that. This is not only a courtesy, but also a process for the two families to get to know each other. ”
"I see, I'll tell you when the time is right. ”
"Come back to see me and your mother more often when you're fine, don't go home for a few months, and surprise us when you come back. ”
"Got it, Dad, I'll go to bed first if it's okay. ”
"Go ahead. ”
After getting the permission of his parents, Li Xin turned around and went upstairs to sleep, walking on the stairs he secretly made a "yes" gesture. The attitude of his parents towards Xia Xiaona is generally recognized, which makes him very happy.
Early in the morning of the second day, before Li Xin and Xia Xiaona got up, Li Xin's mother came to the kitchen early to prepare breakfast for them.
If Li Xin's mother still had reservations about Xia Xiaona's attitude last night because she didn't know her son's true attitude towards Xia Xiaona, then when she saw Xia Xiaona again this morning, she already regarded Xia Xiaona as a member of her own family.
Before leaving the house after breakfast, when Xia Xiaona respectfully said goodbye to herself and her husband, she took out a beautiful box and opened it and handed it to Xia Xiaona and said, "Nana, the first time you came to the house, Auntie didn't prepare anything else, so I will give you this gold necklace as a meeting gift." ”
The gold necklace was bought by Li Xin's mother when she visited the store a few years ago, so that it would be given to her future daughter-in-law. But after buying this necklace, it has been pressed in her hand for several years and has not had a chance to give it away, Li Xin's mother has always hoped that her son will find a partner to marry quickly.
Hearing her son say last night that she wanted Xia Xiaona to be her daughter-in-law, Li Xin's mother's happy mood can be imagined.
Although this gold necklace is only a few thousand yuan, the gift is not too expensive, and it is in Xia Xiaona's hands, but it carries a good wish from Li Xin's mother for her son's future life.
This feeling can only be experienced by a mother's person when her son is about to marry a new daughter-in-law. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her son, Li Xin's mother knew that Xia Xiaona would definitely not be able to understand her feelings, but there were some things she couldn't say to Xia Xiaona at this time.
Xia Xiaona excused herself embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, no need." ”
Li Xin's mother said: "I have been buying this chain for two or three years, and although the style is not as fashionable as it is now, it is pure gold." ”
Xia Xiaona hurriedly explained: "No, Auntie, I didn't mean that, I meant to ......"
Li Xin persuaded on the side: "You too, you can take it if my mother gives it to you, but it's disrespectful." ”
Hearing Li Xin say this, Xia Xiaona didn't dare to shirk anymore, she took the necklace box in Li Xin's mother's hand: "Thank you, Auntie." ”
"Why are you so polite? In the future, I will often go home with Li Xin on weekends to play, and my aunt will make something delicious for you. ”
"Okay, okay!" Xia Xiaona said embarrassedly.
The subtle changes in Li Xin's mother's attitude, it is impossible for the careful Xia Xiaona not to feel it. She happily put the necklace box into the bag on her shoulder, pulled the suitcase and said goodbye to Li Xin's parents again: "Uncle and aunt, then let's go." ”
Li Xin's father said, "Okay, okay, go back and ask your parents how they are, and they will often come to the house to play in the future." ”
Li Xin's mother said to Li Xin, who had already walked out of the door: "Little brother, don't rush to the road, drive slowly on the road." ”
"Got it. Li Xin waved to her parents behind her as she walked.
After watching her son's car gradually drive away, Li Xin's mother muttered: "This child, don't even look back!"
Li Xin's father persuaded: "Look at what you said, he is driving a car, how can he turn back? ”
On the last trading day before May Day, the closing price of sucrose futures was 3,890 yuan, which was a full 230 yuan difference from the cost price of 4,120 yuan of sucrose in Ma Tianming's warehouse. It was this inversion of 230 yuan per ton that made him very unstable during the May Day Golden Week.
On May 5, the first day after the May Day holiday, Ma Tianming arrived more than 40 minutes earlier than the normal working time, and he was already in the office before 8:00.
The district managers received a text message from him last night, asking them to report to Ma Tianming's office at 8 o'clock this morning.
These district managers were originally going to be sent to the suburbs by Ma Tianming to complete the sales task a few days before May Day, but now they have been at ease in Jiangcheng for more than a week. They are very clear about the embarrassing situation faced by the batch of cane sugar in the company's warehouse, and since receiving Ma Tianming's text message last night, each of them knows very well what Ma Tianming is going to say this morning.
Sure enough, after several district managers arrived one after another, Ma Tianming finished arranging everyone's sales tasks straight to the point, and asked them to immediately start sending the cane sugar to their respective sales areas.
After arranging these, he sat quietly in front of the computer and waited for the opening of sucrose futures at 9:00.
Now the selling price of cane sugar in the market has been very transparent, and the difference in price between various sales areas is completely due to the difference in transportation and storage costs.
Therefore, Ma Tianming has no heart to understand the actual sales price of each sales area, he knows that as long as the most important price in the futures market cannot rise, no matter which sales area he sends the goods to, there is no way to smooth out the upside down purchase and sales gap of more than 200 yuan.
What he hopes now is that today's trend in the futures market can confirm the judgment that has been hovering in his heart for the past few days during the holiday.
At 9:00, the price of sucrose futures jumped dozens of yuan at the opening, opened at 3,920 yuan, and then oscillated back and forth around this position for five or six minutes.
Although this price has risen by 20 or 30 yuan from the closing price of the last trading day before the holiday, strictly speaking, it is still not completely out of the danger zone, and it can even be said that it cannot be ruled out that it may continue to fall.
Although Ma Tianming has good expectations in his heart, what he is most worried about is that the price will continue to fall, so that his losses will continue to expand.
In just a few minutes, he was really sweating in his palms. He forgot to smoke and drink tea, and just stared blankly at the movement on the screen.
If the force of his fist could make the price of sugar rise, he would have the heart to crush his fist.
At this time when his palms were sweating and his heart was beating faster, God seemed to be unable to live up to the wish that he had suppressed in his heart for five or six days, and the time-sharing chart on the screen that had been sideways for a few minutes, both likely to rise and fall, seemed to be like a god helping, suddenly like a cobra raised its head, and immediately came a wave of rapid pull-up, and in just 10 minutes, the price rose to 4028 yuan.
