After Lin Jing and I were frank about our hearts that day, I informed my mother of my decision. Sure enough, as I expected, she was neither surprised nor repulsed, but listened to my statement as if listening to a work report, and then called my father's assistant as if she was arranging work, and began to book a hotel, print wedding cards, and notify the major media at the same time.

I feel that I have finally completed the work that I have been looking forward to for a long time in the calculations of my parents, just like when I applied for the college entrance examination. I wanted to choose Tourism Management, but I was forced to fill in Business Administration. However, I am used to it, and in many things, they use the guise of democracy, and then step by step let myself take the initiative to go into the circle of arrangement. This time, it seems that I voluntarily chose to get engaged, but it was still within their plans.

Because it was an engagement, only relatives and extremely important friends of the two families were invited to participate, of course, in order to clarify the previous rumors, the media still came a lot. Lin Jing and I were like puppets, being called and drunk by the elders and the master of ceremonies, and we were busy. The mothers of the two sides have known each other before, but they have not had such a close relationship, so they soon chatted about the shortcomings of the parents.

During the banquet, I was free, and I wanted to say a few more words to Lin Fuchun, as a future son-in-law, I always had to express my determination, but I was interrupted by relatives, friends and the media several times, asking questions about when the wedding date was set, where to hold the wedding, and whether the Yu Lin family would consider merging after marriage.

Finally, I saw Lin Fuchun walk out of the banquet hall and go to the lounge next to him, so I tried my best to get out of the crowd and walk in the direction of the lounge after perfunctory inquiries.

The door of the lounge was ajar, leaving only a palm-wide crack, and I walked to the door, and before opening the door, I straightened my clothes, combed my hair, and felt my face to see if I had a fever from drinking. After confirming that he was well-dressed and had a natural expression, he was about to push the door when he heard a conversation coming from inside the door.

"Lao Lin, the matter of the Famous City Imperial Mansion is over, I can help you as much as I can, and for the rest, you always have to do something yourself." An unfamiliar voice came, and it seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"The Imperial Mansion of the Famous City has a lot of money in me, if there is no new capital injection, it will be difficult for me to make a comeback, you also know this." At this time, Lin Fuchun's voice.

"After the marriage of the two families of Yu Lin, it will naturally slowly improve the reputation of Dinghong, and in another year and a half, you can still raise funds externally." Still that stranger.

"I'm afraid that we won't last half a year, and we will be collected by banks and suppliers."

"Don't be so greedy, it's time to think about it and give up some properties and real estate. We're not charitable, so we can't give you money to fill the hole. Besides, the famous city palace has nothing to do with me at all, it's your own greed, and you haven't dealt with it. ”

"The Famous City Imperial Mansion has nothing to do with you, but if Dinghong is finished, if I am arrested, none of you will be able to get out of it, right?" Lin Fuchun began to threaten.

"Mr. Lin, please pay attention, entrusted by Zou Zong, in order to save Dinghong Group, I have put my son's marriage on board, what are you not satisfied with?"

"Lin Jing and Yu Huai's marriage, it is their mutual affection, don't say as if they have sold me a lot of favor." The so-called Mr. Zou said with a sneer on the side. I finally remembered that this voice was none other than Zou Huang of Xinjiang Hui Construction Group, Mr. Zou. The content of this conversation seems to imply that my marriage is really a favor deal.

"So, none of you have done anything for me, and you're not prepared to do anything for me, are you?" Lin Fuchun was obviously angry.

"Mr. Lin, don't get excited, in the future, we will be our sons and daughters, and if we have difficulties, we will find a way together. I heard Yu Huai say that he is looking for opportunities to cooperate with Lin Jing on some commercial real estate projects, which is a big deal. Father stepped in to reassure.

"Mr. Yu, I'm very grateful for saying this, our Lin Jing will definitely be a good daughter-in-law."

"Hmph, whose daughter knows for himself." Zou Huang gave obvious ridicule to Lin Fuchun's words.

Father didn't make a sound, Lin Fuchun seemed to be angry, but he only hummed a few words, and he didn't hear it clearly, but at the moment, I obviously shouldn't walk in. The elders gathered here and talked about things that involved the Imperial Mansion of the famous city, which did not seem to be so glorious. What I understand is that my father owes Zou Huang a favor, and Zou Huang seems to have something to do with Lin Fuchun, so my father pushed the boat to fulfill our marriage, and by the way, he returned Lin Fuchun's favor for Zou Huang.

Sure enough, they are all merchants, and there is nothing that cannot be traded. Fortunately, fortunately, Lin Jing and I still have a relationship foundation, and fortunately, this is not a simple human transaction. I don't know if Lin Jing knows about it. But since it was a secret interview, it must be a secret to protect it, or not to tell her, so that our relationship can be simpler.

Thinking like this, I returned to the banquet and saw Lin Jing chatting with my mother, and Lin Jing's aunt didn't know where she went. With a smile on her face, her mother took Lin Jing's hand and said something. That picture really looks like the mother-in-law of ordinary people to woo and spoil her daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door. And I always felt that something was wrong.

At the end of the engagement banquet, it was already late at night, and when the relatives and friends of both sides dispersed, Lin Jing left with Lin Fuchun. Father and mother put away their smiles. On the way home, my father didn't say a word, and my mother, sitting next to me, suddenly said:

"Do you know Lin Jing?"

I was a little dizzy when asked, where to start, we are classmates, and we have been dating like this for nearly a year, and the family affairs and business affairs of the two sides are already very familiar, and they have reached the point of getting engaged, how can they not understand it.

"Mom, what are you talking about, the marriage is decided, how can you not understand." I replied with a smile. My mother has followed my father to start a business for many years, and she is also a veteran of the shopping mall, and she is an old man who knows people and things, but it is from this old way that she and her father always have a little unfriendly and distrustful temperament.

"Humph!" Before the mother could answer, the father had already snorted coldly.

When my mother heard this, she stopped asking me, but stared at my father's back with displeasure. Only I was inexplicably questioned and then left out in the cold. The aftermath of this engagement banquet is not as long-lasting as the opening celebration of a new development. Once again, silence returned to the car.

"Don't rush to get married, get along for a while, at least a year or two, and wait until you make achievements in commercial real estate." When my father was about to get out of the car, he said to me behind him.

After he reminded me like this, I suddenly remembered that Lin Jing had said today that he hoped to hold a wedding as soon as possible, and when the lifelong event was decided, the two of them could devote themselves to their careers, and the cooperation between the two families could be intimate. Now that my father suddenly said this, it seems that in this matter, they are not going to give me false freedom.

So, it's hard to say whether it's going to be just an engagement to perfunctory the Lin family and that Zou Huang. And the mother's sentence - do you know Lin Jing, obviously has a different opinion of Lin Jing. That being said, they were not as in favor of the marriage as they seemed.

And the Lin family, whether they can survive a year or two, as Lin Fuchun said, I am afraid it is very dangerous and difficult. So, Zou Huang didn't really intend to help Li Fuchun? The relationship is really complicated. How to put the relationship between me and Lin Jing on the weight.

The next day's newspaper really overwhelmingly reported the news of our engagement, Dinghong's stock price in the slump for nearly a year, a rare rise in the posture, and the impact of our Zhuochuang is the opposite, for which the marketing department had to start a crisis public relations, declared that after the marriage, the Yu family will gradually eliminate Lin's non-performing assets, and finally take 1-2 years to complete the merger and acquisition.

As soon as the news came out, Lin Jing's phone came, and the words were very tactful, but the general meaning is to understand that we are a crisis public relations strategy, but Lin will not choose the path of mergers and acquisitions. I'm noncommittal, I haven't thought about it yet. But her clear determination made me a little uncomfortable. If they are really married, they should have each other, and how can they divide the Lin family or the Yu family. Even if there are other shareholders, after all, both of us are absolute controlling and helmsmen.

Slowly, under the assistance of Zhuo Chuang, Dinghong washed away the past, although there is still a dilemma of tight funds, but it is no longer the target of public criticism. And the relationship between the two of us, after the official announcement, has no longer the value of hype, and it will naturally be calmed down.

Lin Jing didn't mention the marriage date again, so I didn't plan to propose this morning. It's not really because of my father's request, but I have the idea of starting a business first and then starting a family. Lin Jing is now the president, and I am still the general manager of the commercial real estate sector, although it is only a position, I still have some minds. So I threw myself into my work and tried to achieve my revenge.

After another year, my commercial real estate division finally has 2 projects in progress, and the team members are getting better and better, which is still due to the measures I proposed at the beginning of the school-enterprise cooperation.

In order to deepen this cooperation, I persuade the colleges and universities to send their outstanding students to participate in the national architectural design competition, so that they can not only communicate with the country's outstanding designers, but also can promote their own protégés.
