Chapter seven hundred and thirty third talk about marriage
Ji Chengxi said that he would meet at Shimen in advance, so Chen Huai would naturally not refuse.
Chen Huai did not consider what to do at Shimen before coming, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Cheng Yi's father hoped to create some momentum and stir up a pool of stagnant water on Shimen, so Chen Huai naturally had to cooperate.
In the past few years, the rise of Meigang has been on the one hand, and steel trade, storage and transportation companies located in the downstream industrial chain of Meigang have also achieved great growth.
Due to the restrictions of funds and market channels, Penghai Trade has long been no longer the largest distributor of Meigang. However, the trade volume this year can still exceed 300 million, which means that Yang Haipeng's personal net worth will continue to grow.
Yang Haipeng has also participated in investment in other aspects. In addition to the shares held by Pengyuelian Commodity, he is also one of the largest individual shareholders of Zhujiang Investment, but Penghai Trade's main business is still steel trade.
Actively participating in the investment layout of the steel trading market and storage and transportation links is also an important direction for Penghai Trade to expand and strengthen its main business.
Like Penghai Trade, other large and small steel trade companies also need to find a way out for the surplus funds they have in their hands.
Now Meigang is going to lead the Steel Logistics Park project at Jihe Port. After completion, the steel trade and steel processing enterprises will eventually settle in. Now, these downstream enterprises will be brought in and invest together. In addition to Meigang being able to control the investment scale and risks, it will also be beneficial to tie them up with steel trade enterprises and work together to develop the steel market in southern Hebei.
Chen Huai and Cheng Yi went back to have lunch with Cheng Yi's mother Liu Xuemei at home.
Cheng Wenguang had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. He took a bus back to take a nap at around 1 o'clock. Chen Huai introduced Yang Haipeng to him.
If Shimen needs to use a large steel logistics and processing park project to stimulate the reaction of Luangang, Yangang and even the Jinshi Group behind Shimen Steel Group, if Shimen is required to stir up the stagnant water of Shimen and someone needs to be responsible for this matter, then Yang Haipeng is the most suitable candidate.
Chen Huai's energy was also limited, and it was impossible for him to involve too much energy in the bluffs at the Shimen side.
"Okay, if someone else is in Hebei Province, then call him over to meet him, and you will have to deal with him frequently in the future." Cheng Wenguang said.
Chen Huai gathered a large number of people in Donghua to achieve the size of Meigang today, but Cheng Wen only met few people.
After Cheng Wenguang agreed, Chen Huai called Zhao Tianming and the others, and Zhao Tianming and Dai Quan continued to stay in Jihe to discuss port economic and trade cooperation, and Yang Haipeng and Wang Weicheng also rushed to Shimen in the afternoon.
********************* Cheng Yi doesn't have much time to get together with her mother during the year. In the afternoon, she stays at home and is too lazy to move. She curls up on the sofa and chats with her mother.
Seeing Chen Huai talking to Cheng Wenguang, Liu Xuemei stood up and hit the dust on her body and said to Cheng Yi: "Chen Huai is busy with work, and you are also serious about your career. I guess you don't have much time to spend together. You go shopping in the afternoon, don't accompany me, the old woman..."
Thinking of the moment when he was in the information room in the morning, Cheng Yi was also a little offended and alone with Chen Huai. She was afraid that she would fall too deep in this drama, so she hugged her mother's neck and said coquettishly: "Where are you old? You want to go out with me. Most people think we are a pair of sisters. Why don't we go shopping together and let Chen Huai stay and see the house? Or let him be a coolie."
"You little mouth, you talk nonsense all day long. You don't think of how old you are, and you still think of yourself as a little girl?" Liu Xuemei smiled and beat Cheng Yi, insisting on pushing her and Chen Huai out to strengthen her relationship, and said, "What street do you have with you? You and Escape Huai are good to cultivate your relationship? I will follow you, you don't think I'm in trouble. Besides, I feel confused when I look at the clothes you wear; I don't want you to point fingers in the clothes I wear."
Chen Huai said from the side: "Why would you invite Ji Chengxi and the others to come to your house for dinner tonight? I will go out to buy vegetables with Cheng Yi?"
"I can't show my skills, so why not go to a restaurant?" Liu Xuemei said with a smile.
Liu Xuemei and Cheng Wenguang and his wife have been taking care of themselves for decades. They only have a spare time in the past few days. They cooked themselves to prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc., and they all came back from the government cafeteria to eat.
Although Liu Xuemei also regards Ji Chengxi as her nephew, she always has to cook a few dishes when she invites her home to have supper. Cooking is not her specialty. Cheng Yi is also the main person who can help her out and eat, and she has not started to learn cooking skills. When she comes back from the canteen, it is better to go to the hotel to eat.
"I'm fine in the afternoon. I'll cook. I can barely cook a table of dishes. Aunt Liu doesn't dislike you at that time." Chen Huai said.
"That's fine, let Cheng Yi help you." Liu Xuemei nodded with a smile when she heard Chen Huai wanted to show her skills.
"I said to please my mother, why are you doing this?" Cheng Yi teased Chen Huai and asked her mother to knock on her head with her fingers. She screamed with a "screaming" and couldn't talk nonsense anymore, so her mother drove her out of the house and accompanied Chen Huai to the vegetable market.
After leaving the provincial party committee compound, tall and stout sycamore trees were planted on both sides of the road. In late October, in late autumn, a gust of wind came, and a palm-sized sycamore leaves fell down.
The provincial party committee compound is surrounded by restricted driving lanes. Except for the occasional bicycles and pedestrians, there are almost no cars passing by, which is particularly secluded.
The provincial courtyard is surrounded by the grating walls and hedges, and there is no particularly eye-catching place when you walk in. When you walk in, you will see that the red houses are hidden among the trees, which is quite stylish.
There is a flower shop on the corner of the street, and there is a newsstand outside the flower shop. Chen Huai stopped to buy newspapers.
“…”
Listening to Cheng Yi muttering behind, Chen Huai didn't hear it clearly, and turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"My mother told me about marriage at noon, and she would definitely find an opportunity to mention this to you. What are you going to tell her then?" Cheng Yi twisted her toes.
"..." Chen Huai looked at Cheng Yi's white and soft face.
He is twenty-nine during the Chinese New Year, and Cheng Yi is twenty-six.
Anyone abroad can be single until he is 30 or 40 years old, and even insist on celibacy for a lifetime. However, in China, who is at the age of marriage and childbirth and does not get married and have children, that is a traitor.
In the past two years, Song Hongjun has not even dared to return to the marriage in order to avoid his family. His aunt was so angry that she couldn't help but scold Song Hongjun whenever she mentioned this.
Chen Huai was better, at most, her sister-in-law was nagging about this. Especially since the marriage between Song Tong and Zhou Zhibai was approaching, the pressure on him became smaller. After the younger sister-in-law was free during this period, she was mainly concerned about Song Tong's marriage.
Cheng Yi's situation is much more difficult. At least in the traditional view, the so-called career of a woman is not a reasonable excuse that Cheng Yi can use to deal with her family.
Although he made an appointment with Cheng Yi to see the situation after two years, it was obvious that it was impossible for both families to never mention their marriage in the past two years. Chen Huai thought that Cheng Yi’s parents might mention marriage directly to him, and he really didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing Cheng Yi pouting and seemed to be upset about this matter, Chen Huai joked: "If you want me to tell me, why don't you just make do with me?"
"I said it's true, I won't joke with you," Cheng Yi bit her lip and said softly, "If you tell me about it, don't be proud, my mother arranged a room for us..."
"I didn't take advantage, but people thought I had taken advantage of it. What do you think I'm so proud of?" Chen Huai couldn't help but smile.
"Are you still laughing?" Cheng Yi reached out to come and hit Chen Huai, but asked Chen Huai to grab his hand and couldn't struggle. He said angrily, "Do you think a woman is not worth it at the age of an old woman? She has to pay for free before depreciation, so that my mother can rest assured that she is such an old mind?" Seeing that Chen Huai didn't say anything, she raised her foot and kicked him lightly, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering, when will your mother have a relationship?" Chen Huai asked.
Cheng Yi glared at Chen Huai charmingly and cursed: "Don't be too self-indulgent. The main reason is that my parents just came over and were in a hurry. Without a breath, they prepared a room for me and did not prepare any extra bedding for the guest room..."
"It's okay, I slept on the floor at night." Chen Huai said.
"You're talking nonsense," Cheng Yi angrily reached out and pinched Chen Huai's waist, and said, "I'll tell you the truth. My mother and I were both slandering each other. She thought we should get engaged first. What do you think we should do?"
"Did you carry money?" Chen Huai asked.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Yi asked. Her salary and benefits at the People's Bank of China were much higher than that of Chen Huai. This time she came back and brought a lot of cash with her. She opened her wallet and showed it to Chen Huai. There was a stack of cash inside.
"Okay, you will pay for the purchase of vegetables later," Chen Huai turned around and walked into the flower shop, took out more than 600 yuan in his wallet and handed it to a pretty girl sitting in the inner room, and asked, "Is the roses and lilies in your store sold me. Is this enough money?"
Cheng Yi was talking about the engagement between the two. Seeing Chen Huai inexplicably turn around and enter the flower shop, she followed her in, pulled Chen Huai's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "You are crazy, why are you buying so many flowers?"
"Even if you are engaged, you can't treat you badly," Chen Huai picked up a bouquet of roses and handed it to Cheng Yi, and said, "If you think these flowers are not enough, I should have a few months of salary on my card. Let's take it out with a bank..."
"Mysterious." Cheng Yi cursed softly, but she didn't stop Chen Huai from buying all the roses in this store.
Seeing Chen Huai copying the address of her home to the little girl who was looking at the flower shop so that the flowers could be delivered directly to the provincial party committee compound, Cheng Yi came over and said softly: "Even if there are these flowers, you can sleep in the hotel at night..."
