Chapter 153: Limited space, first come first served
Tingting stared at the girl next to Tan Wenjie for a few seconds: "It's not Zhuzhu."
There are people in the world who look so similar...
Looking alike is nothing, just like Master Ren and Tan Wenjie's dead uncle look a little alike, Zhu Dachang and Fei Bao and Zhang Dabing are somewhat similar, and even Uncle Nine and Second Uncle never appear on the screen at the same time. Tan Wenjie has suspected several times whether they have an unspeakable blood relationship. For the time being, he speculates that they are 100% father and son, but there is no doubt that Second Uncle is a virgin.
The girl in front of him was 70% similar to Zhuzhu, but their temperaments were completely different. Zhuzhu was a young lady who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, while the girl in front of him had clear eyes and was a little bit timid. She was an ordinary girl from a poor family.
Haha, good news, Zhuzhu was not stolen away.
There's even better news: Zhuzhu actually has a substitute.
Seeing that the other person seemed to be just a little maidservant beside Tan Wenjie, Tingting didn't care... and persuaded herself not to care so much.
Tan Wenjie had no intention of introducing the two to each other, because he was already critically assessing the quality of the pearl necklace on Tingting's chest.
Well, plump, beautiful and white.
"Tingting, how have you been lately?"
Tan Wenjie walked to Tingting's side naturally.
Tingting turned her head and looked at him: "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Ok?"
Tingting looked up, looking a little unhappy.
He had quietly found a beautiful girl by his side, and he hadn't even bothered to explain, when the competition between the three of them was already crowded.
Tan Wenjie nodded: "Okay, actually I don't mean to hide it from you."
It depends on how you explain it.
No, Tingting suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Tan Wenjie's tone.
What do you mean by hiding it? I saw it all, so it can't be considered hiding it.
"I did take a concubine."
"what?"
Wait, wasn't there a little maidservant around him? How come he suddenly became a concubine?
You are being too frank. The process was a bit fast.
In fact, I don’t have to know so much all of a sudden. Otherwise, I can just briefly explain the girl who looks like Zhuzhu.
Then I heard Tan Wenjie say, "Tingting, there are not many seats left, first come first served."
Tingting: “…”
The two chatted and left side by side.
Jingjing looked at the backs of the two men and accidentally heard their conversation, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She overturned her previous guess that Mr. Tan was really not a god, and even if he was a god, he was probably a lustful god.
Fei Bao has gotten used to it. If Mr. Tan goes somewhere and doesn't have any confidante, his first thought is to find someone to exorcise the evil spirits.
Isn't it natural for rich people to marry many wives?
"Jingjing, let's go."
Feibao went to drive the carriage.
"Oh!"
The two of them trotted to catch up. It seemed that they would have to stop checking the shop accounts for the time being.
……
There was a little problem in the communication between Tan Wenjie and Tingting, and he knew where the problem lay.
The playboy was punished.
I know it, but I won’t change it.
It has never been important what kind of relationship there is between him and Ren Tingting. For families of status like Tingting, Zhuzhu, and Nianying, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are the most important. If the parents do not agree, the only choice for their unbreakable love is to jump into the grave and turn into a butterfly.
Unexpectedly, Tan Wenjie was not anxious, but Ren Fa was anxious.
Tan Wenjie was inexplicably invited to Ren Fa's house for dinner, and he had some vague guesses.
Renfu.
The big round table was filled with wine and food, and the aroma was fragrant.
The banquet was delicious, but with only Tan Wenjie and Ren Fa, it felt a bit empty.
After hearing the "female competition" signal that Tan Wenjie deliberately taught her, Tingting didn't stay long and went home. Traditional women don't mind polygamy.
However, precisely because of tradition, whether she is a wife or a concubine becomes very important.
Ren Fa held up the wine jug and was about to pour wine for Tan Wenjie. Tan Wenjie quickly stood up and took the wine jug, first pouring wine for Ren Fa, and then pouring a glass for himself.
How can I let my cheap father-in-law pour the wine?
Ren Fa looked at Tan Wenjie with a smile of satisfaction on his face, as if Tan Wenjie was a thousand-year-old ginseng, delicious from head to toe.
"Wenjie, your uncle Mr. Tan and I are old friends." Don't even mention that you two are old friends. I would believe you even if you said that you two are brothers from the same mother.
Tan Wenjie put down the wine jug and sat down: "My uncle told me to learn a lot from Uncle Ren before he died."
"Hahahaha, don't mention how prosperous our business was when we two did it together."
Businessmen are shameless. Even though Tan Wenjie's words were so fake, he still smiled and nodded, with reminiscence in his eyes, as if the two sides had really joined forces to dominate the business within a thousand miles.
In fact, the Tan family became richer and richer in the past twenty years, making a fortune every day, while the Ren family went downhill twenty years ago. They missed the intersection, one going up and the other going down.
The economic gap between the two sides can be seen from the fact that Tan Wenjie's uncle was unwilling to take Ren Fa out to play.
He remembered that he had the blessing of the God of Wealth today. Could it be that Ren Fa really wanted to give him money?
The two chatted, but tacitly did not talk about business.
Ren Fa could see that Tan Wenjie liked his daughter. How could anyone not like Tingting who was so beautiful!
But he was unwilling to marry Tingting to Tan Wenjie.
If you marry your daughter off hundreds of miles away, it will be difficult to see her again.
After his wife died, Ren Fa never remarried.
It was also related to the fact that his business had been declining for 20 consecutive years. He had never tasted the taste of making big money since the day his father was buried, and he could not succeed in his career. It happened that Ren Fa was a very career-oriented person, which led to his constant ups and downs.
Today, we still have to play the emotional card.
"ε=(ο`*)))Alas"
"Uncle Ren, why are you crying? Don't worry, I promise you, Tingting will be left to me to take care of."
"Gah? Cry?"
Ren Fa, who had just sighed and was building up his emotions, was stunned. He hadn't mentioned Tingting yet. He just wanted to show how miserable he was as Tingting's father, and then make the following conversation more natural. It would be advantageous to discuss business using the identity of Tingting's father.
"When did I say I'd leave Tingting to your care?"
Tan Wenjie was puzzled: "Uncle Ren, aren't you inviting me to dinner today because you're worried that Tingting has no one to take care of her?"
Ren Fa opened his mouth.
So shameless!
But what could he say? Should he tell Tan Wenjie that I invited you to dinner today to make you a fool? Take over Baiyulou for me and fill the big hole, but my daughter Ren Fa will never marry you.
Can you say it?
can not say.
Daughters are important, and business is important too.
Ren Fa thought to himself, this kid is too smart, he seems to be pretending to be crazy but actually he is negotiating terms with him.
He wondered in his heart whether it was worth it to use Tingting to exchange for half of the family's fortune to fill the hole, and then he looked up at Tan Wenjie.
He is a handsome man and his family business is thriving.
There are no shortcomings. Being fickle and lustful is not a shortcoming.
The only drawback is that Ren Fa dislikes Tan Wenjie.
After a moment's stalemate, just when Ren Fa was wondering whether Tingting was really suitable to marry Tan Wenjie, he saw Tan Wenjie suddenly pour the wine into his mouth.
"ε=(ο`*)))Alas"
"Wenjie, what's wrong?"
Ren Fa didn't know why, but he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Wait, is this kid going to play the emotional card too?
Fortunately, Tan Wenjie did not do that.
"Uncle Ren, I was thinking about using Baiyulou to do big business before, but I didn't expect you to buy it. Today I have this opportunity, I wonder if you can give it up?"
It has long been no secret that Baiyu Tower is a bottomless pit that burns money.
It would be fine if the door was not open, but if it is open for every day, it will cost money for every day.
Ren Fa looked at Tan Wenjie with a complicated look. He believed that Tan Wenjie had already guessed his plan to treat everyone to drinks today. Most people would avoid it, and even if they agreed to help, they might end up losing their daughter.
I didn't expect that Tan Wenjie would choose this method.
Ren Fa admitted that his opinion of this boy had changed a little, but he would not earn less money than he deserved!
"To be honest, Wenjie, the White Jade Tower is of great use to me."
"Then I won't buy it. I can't take away what Uncle Ren loves."
Ren Fa: “…”
In fact, you can also take it.
Tan Wenjie said sincerely: "Let's talk about Tingting again."
