Chapter 41: Urging Marriage and Blind Date
Chapter 41: Urging Marriage and Blind Date
Zhiyun Technology’s office is located on the 28th floor of the Insurance Building. Because the floor is high enough and the Insurance Building is also a seaside office building, Xu Shenxue’s office has a very good view.
Looking outside through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see the large green area of the seaside park, and outside the seaside park is a vast bay with many ships passing by.
Standing here, you can directly cross the three or four kilometer bay and see Hong'an Mansion, which is the community where Xu Shenxue lives.
Looking at the sea in the distance, many things kept turning over in Xu Shenxue's mind, including the press conference scheduled in ten days, the current research and development status of the smartphone, the mass production of the smartphone after the press conference, and so on.
When he was thinking about these things, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Xu Shenxue took it out and saw that it was a call from Xu's mother.
Recently, Xu's mother has been living in Anhua most of the time and seldom comes back home. Because of her absence, her sister Xu Weiwei's condition has improved a lot. Although she has not yet recovered to her former lively and lovely state, she has become much more cheerful overall.
Several tutors also said that Xu Weiwei’s learning progress has been very good recently, and has improved greatly compared to the previous six months. If she continues like this, she will have a good chance of getting into a top university if she works hard for another year next year.
At the same time, because they had little time to meet, occasionally when Xu's mother came back and met Xu Weiwei, she did not find fault with him or get annoyed when they met as in the past. Instead, she mostly showed concern and care.
In fact, Xu's mother also knew how to get along with her children, but she just couldn't help nagging. Once she was provoked, she would get angry, blame, or even curse.
Especially since we lived together every day before, I couldn’t accept this or that!
Now that we live separately and have very little time to see each other, the situation has improved.
Xu Shenxue is quite satisfied with the current situation of his family. There aren't so many troubles!
After answering the call, Xu Shenxue put the phone to his ear:
"Mom, why are you calling?"
"I just finished listening to the report. I don't have anything to do for the time being. I still have time to chat with you!"
"It's true that I've been a bit busy recently. It's mainly because the preparations for the new products at Zhiyun Technology are a bit complicated, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things to do!"
"Funding, we have this intention, the company is making preparations!"
"No need to introduce. The scale of this round of financing will be relatively large, and there are some special requirements. I'm afraid those uncles and aunts who are in contact with us are not suitable!"
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. It's just a matter of how much you can earn!"
"Ah? Blind date?"
Xu Shenxue frowned slightly, then took the phone away from his ear and held it for a while, then put it close to his ear again and said, "Didn't I say before that I'm very busy recently. There are a lot of things going on in the company, and I really can't leave!"
"And there's no need to be so anxious about getting married and starting a family!"
"I just graduated the year before last, and I've only been working for a year and a half. I haven't sorted out my work affairs yet, and I really don't have the time and energy to deal with these personal matters!"
"I understand that you want a grandchild, but wait a few more years!"
Then the voices on the other side got louder... I could vaguely hear Xu's mother on the other side saying, "I won't say anything if my daughter despises her mother now that she's grown up, but son, you don't care about your mother now that you've grown up?"
"I just want a grandchild, what's wrong with that?"
"I can't even go back home now. Do you really want me to live alone here in Anhua until the end of my life? If you get married, I'll have a daughter-in-law. Even if you young people want to live on your own and don't want an old lady like me, I can at least see my grandchildren occasionally!" "It doesn't matter if you young people are busy with work. There will be a nanny to help take care of the children in the future, and I'll help you take care of them. You can just focus on your work!"
"Dating doesn't take up much time or energy. The people we introduce you to are all girls we know well. The girls also know that you are very busy, so they won't disturb your work even if you are dating."
"We had made appointments twice before, but both times I couldn't go because you had to attend a meeting. Although Aunt Lin didn't say anything, I'm almost embarrassed by you!"
"Let me tell you, you have never seen Aunt Lin's daughter, but I have seen her several times. She even came to our beauty salon yesterday. She is so pretty, has a good personality, and is very sweet."
"Once you see her, you'll know what a good girl is!"
"I'm telling you, if you miss this one, you won't find anyone as pretty as her in the future. Don't think that all girls from good families are pretty. I'm telling you, there aren't many who are really pretty. Most of them are ugly!"
"Ten or twenty years ago, people were all peasants. They didn't have good genes. If the parents were not good-looking, their children would naturally be bad too. But few people have good genes like your parents."
"And don't expect to find someone from an ordinary family. The worldviews are so different from yours. You'll be in trouble. You won't even have a common topic. If you talk about the supply chain or a roadshow, the other party won't know what you're talking about!"
"You can mess around with this kind of woman as you like outside, but don't ever bring her home. I won't recognize her as my daughter-in-law!"
Listening to what Xu's mother said on the phone, Xu Shenxue was speechless. He had never noticed Xu's mother being so nagging to him before... He only thought that Xu's mother was nagging to his sister.
But unexpectedly, now Xu's mother stopped nagging about his sister and stopped keeping an eye on her studies every day. Instead, she started to worry about his marriage!
Starting from December, Xu's mother wanted to introduce girls to him one after another. All of them were daughters of families similar to Xu's. However, Xu Shenxue was not very interested in them.
It’s not that he has no interest in women, but he is somewhat averse to blind dates!
Originally, he had no plan to get married too early, and he might not even get married at all...and then you told him about blind dating and marriage, which would make him even more disgusted.
There are so many women out there. If you find a suitable one, you can just date her and keep her. You don't have to marry her!
With a net worth of hundreds of millions, how can he just get married casually? If there is a percentage damage, even if it can be avoided through various means, it is still disgusting enough!
The previous few times Xu's mother wanted to introduce someone to someone, Xu Shenxue always found excuses to turn them down. But this time, when it came to the Lin family's daughter, Xu's mother was particularly persistent. The previous two times they failed to make the appointment, and Xu Shenxue turned her down with the excuse that he was too busy and didn't have time, but she unexpectedly came for a third time!
I won’t stop until I get to this place!
Xu Shenxue sighed in his heart. After all, this was the original body's mother. He inherited the original body and family, so he couldn't do anything too excessive. He had to give Xu's mother some respect.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, you decide on the arrangements, I'll try to make time!"
"But let's make it clear in advance. It's not possible during working hours, not even during the daytime on weekends. It can only be done during lunch or dinner time on these two days. And I'm quite busy, so I can only arrange the location near the company."
"Forget it, I'll let Secretary Li contact you, and you can discuss with her to finalize the time!"
When Xu's mother heard this, her mood improved: "As long as you agree to go, I will arrange the time for you!"
Xu Shenxue hung up the phone, feeling somewhat helpless...but he still called Secretary Li outside in.
Soon, Secretary Li, wearing a white silk shirt, a black A-line skirt, black stockings underneath the skirt, and four-inch high-heeled leather shoes, opened the door and walked in.
