After Zhang Zelin finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Xiumei with confidence and said: "Xiumei, don't worry, I believe that even if Li Tianyi has principles and a position, as long as we give him enough chips and enough sincerity, he will eventually become our son-in-law."

Isn't there a saying, men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are too low, women don't care about decency, decency is because they are not seduced enough.

I believe that the chips that our Zhang family can provide are enough to make Li Tianyi's heart move. ”

When Zheng Xiumei heard this, her expression relaxed a little, what Zhang Zelin said was indeed very reasonable, she thought about it from her side, if she was standing in Li Tianyi's position, facing such a strong sincerity and such a heart-warming bargaining chip of the Zhang family, it would be difficult for her to resist.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Tianyi came to the door of Zhang's house with two bottles of wine and two boxes of pastries.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Menghan walked out of the door, grabbed Li Tianyi's arm with a smile in his eyes and said enthusiastically: "Li Tianyi, you are here, have you missed me these days?"

While speaking, Zhang Menghan took the items in Li Tianyi's hand.

Li Tianyi smiled a little embarrassedly, twitched his arm slightly, and wanted to pull it out of Zhang Menghan's arm, but Zhang Menghan's arm was very tight, and he had no way to pull it out, so he could only go with her.

It's just that when he walks, he tries to keep his body away from Zhang Menghan.

Walking all the way, Zhang Menghan's heart began to sink little by little.

She knows very well what her parents want to do when they call Li Tianyi over today, and she is both looking forward to and afraid of today's meeting. Especially when she saw Li Tianyi's attitude today, she had a faint bad premonition. Subconsciously, she held Li Tianyi's arm tightly, for fear that if she let go, she would lose her relationship with Li Tianyi in this life and this life.

At this moment, Zhang Menghan's heart was full of mixed feelings and panicked. Just like that, he took Li Tianyi and walked home.

Walked into the gate and came to the second quadrangle, at this moment, at the door, Zhang Menghan's parents Zhang Zelin and Zheng Xiumei were already waiting at the door.

With their identity and status, being able to stand and wait at the gate of the second courtyard of the courtyard has already given Li Tianyi a big face.

Li Tianyi was also a little surprised when he saw Zhang Menghan's parents standing at the door to greet him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said very respectfully: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zheng, hello." As he spoke, he reached out his hand.

Zhang Zelin shook hands with Li Tianyi with a smile, patted Li Tianyi's shoulder and said, "Li Tianyi, this dress is very handsome today, and he is definitely a talent." ”

Li Tianyi smiled and said modestly: "Uncle Zhang, you have praised it." ”

Zheng Xiumei said with a smile: "Li Tianyi, come if you come, what kind of gifts do you bring?" ”

Li Tianyi said: "This is a big holiday, I don't bring gifts, how can I come to the door, we must bring gifts in our hometown." However, I don't know what the etiquette is here in Yanjing City, so I can only follow the etiquette and customs in our hometown. ”

"It's good to come, it's good to come, it's cold outside, let's talk inside. ”

While speaking, Zhang Zelin enthusiastically pulled Li Tianyi into the main hall of the second courtyard. After the guests and hosts sat down, Zhang Zelin, Zheng Xiumei and Li Tianyi greeted each other for a while, and Zheng Xiumei left with Zhang Menghan, leaving only Zhang Zelin and Li Tianyi in the hall.

However, after walking out of the room, Zhang Menghan did not leave, but found a shadow place, stood outside the window and listened to the conversation inside.

As a client, she is very anxious about what choice Li Tianyi will make today, and wants to know the result as soon as possible.

Zhang Zelin looked at Li Tianyi with a smile and said: "Li Tianyi, since I called you over for the New Year, uncle, I won't go around the bend, let's get straight to the point, after such a long time of investigation, you Aunt Zheng and I are very satisfied with your character and ability, and after our Zhang family held a family meeting to discuss collectively, we decided to agree to the marriage between you and Menghan." ”

When Zhang Zelin said this, Zhang Menghan, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, blushed, and his face showed a stunning and shy.

In the room, Li Tianyi's expression was calm, and there was no excitement or excitement.

From beginning to end, Zhang Zelin paid attention to Li Tianyi's expression while speaking. When he saw this, his heart began to be a little unsettled. Because Li Tianyi's performance is too calm. This kind of performance is not something that a person of Li Tianyi's age can have.

What worries him most is that Li Tianyi doesn't have any source of excitement.

Zhang Zelin immediately accentuated his tone and continued: "Li Tianyi, our Zhang family has decided that after you and Zhang Menghan get married, our Zhang family will use all their resources to cultivate you, and you will become the spokesperson and successor of our Zhang family in the officialdom in the future." Don't dare to say anything else, after the Spring Festival, you will be allowed to enter the deputy department level, and there should be no problem in becoming the main department level after 3 years. It is guaranteed that you will become a deputy provincial cadre within seven or eight years, and at that time, you were only thirty-six or seventeen years old. If your ability is very strong, coupled with the support of our Zhang family with all kinds of resources, it may not be impossible for you to become the leader of a province before the age of 45. Again, as long as you have strong ability and a good reputation, then in the future, it may not be impossible to win the seven thrones of the cabinet.

And once you get to that point, your life will be extremely brilliant, your family will be glorified because of you, and you will also walk to the peak of life and career.

Li Tianyi, you are the only person with a foreign surname who can be recognized by the entire family in our Zhang family for so many years, and this is the only person in our Zhang family who has been willing to devote their efforts and resources to cultivation for so many years. As long as you marry Zhang Menghan, in the future, our Zhang family will breathe with you and share a common fate. The Zhang family will always be the most majestic and solid backer behind you.

After Zhang Zelin finished speaking, his eyes fell on Li Tianyi's face and stared at Li Tianyi's eyes tightly.

The hole card, he showed it directly, in order to shock Li Tianyi directly as soon as he came up, let Li Tianyi know the strength of the Zhang family, and let him know how bright the future career prospects are after being attached to the Zhang family.

Zhang Zelin is no stranger to this method, because throughout the ages, many families in history have extended the life and glory of the family by marrying and recruiting sons-in-law. For many talented and ambitious dick men who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, being able to get the recognition and support of the big family in this way and help them rise to the top in their careers is also what they dream of the most. However, not everyone gets this opportunity.

Under Zhang Zelin's gaze, Li Tianyi slowly raised his head, stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Zelin, just stood up and looked at Zhang Zelin and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you, thank you for the trust that the Zhang family has placed in me, and thank you Zhang Menghan for the affection she has always had for me, thank you." ”

When Li Tianyi said this, Zhang Menghan, who was standing with the doorman eavesdropping, had begun to tremble slightly, and his face became a little pale.

She knows Li Tianyi too well. The more polite Li Tianyi speaks to you, the more it means that he may not agree with you.

Li Tianyi continued: "Uncle Zhang, I came to visit this time, and I was also trying to make a break about the relationship between me and Zhang Menghan.

To tell the truth, between Zhang Menghan and Cheng Shiqi, I first fell in love with Zhang Menghan, when I just graduated from college and entered the official career as a selected student, when I was serving as the village party secretary in the mountain village, I met Zhang Menghan by chance, and was immediately shocked, and fell in love with her at first sight, and then lost contact for various reasons, and after getting in touch again, I began to pursue Zhang Menghan. At that time, Cheng Shiqi had always had a good impression of me, and even was injured and almost lost his life in order to save me, but at that time, I still loved Zhang Menghan.

Until that day, first asked me and Shen Zihao to hold a talent competition for Zhang Menghan in Qingping Club, and then after I won, Aunt Zheng said that.

After that incident, I had to re-examine the relationship between me and Zhang Menghan again.

If Zhang Menghan really loved me, he would not ask me to participate in the talent competition with Shen Zihao.

But at that time, I loved him, and I was willing to compete with others for him, and I thought it was an expression of love for him, so I went.

It wasn't until later that I heard Aunt Zheng's words that I got cold. Then a series of things happened one after another, through these things I deeply realized that as a child from the countryside who relied on going to school and working his own, as a grassroots, there will always be a gap between us and a big family like your Zhang family, maybe in your eyes, my pursuit of Zhang Menghan is to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, for my own career and future, but you are wrong.

I pursued Zhang Menghan because I valued Zhang Menghan as a girl at that time, and was willing to go into the poor mountain village alone to teach, what I valued was her pure heart, and her gentleness, consultation, and beauty in school deeply moved me.

People will always become. With the passage of time, Zhang Menghan is changing little by little. It wasn't until Zhang Menghan asked me to participate in the talent competition, although I hadn't noticed this at that time, but I felt it, and I was uncomfortable in my heart. This incident, deep in my heart, left a scar that will never heal. As time went on, the scar grew bigger and bigger.

Uncle Zhang, although I am a grassroots, I do not have a strong background or innate advantages, but I have a heart of self-improvement and self-reliance.

I will not put my future on someone else, let alone trade my emotions and marriage.

I am a man, a man with iron bones, and my life will only fight for my ideals, for the people I love and those who love me, not for official positions, official positions, wealth, honor, fame and fortune!"

When Li Tianyi said this, Zhang Menghan, who was standing outside eavesdropping, was already in tears. Zhang Menghan's mother stood beside Zhang Menghan, gently hugged Zhang Menghan's body, gently stroked her back and comforted her, her face was full of guilt and anger.
