Chapter 514: Fostering A Marriage
It wasn’t strange that people of their age had common topics of their own children aside from business affairs.
In the beginning, the two people simply complained about it. Being alive was to worry about their children. No matter how successful they were, they couldn’t be excused from it.
” Ya …” Wang Xifan sighed. “We worked so hard and established a great family business, for what? Isn’t it for the children to be able to live better? As a people of our age, how much can we enjoy ourselves? Speaking about enjoying ourselves, our money is enough for us to enjoy for two lifetimes. Now, we’re still working for it. What’s it for?”
“It seems President Wang is also an emotional person. Your son must be very blessed.” President Hua laughed.
“That kid, don’t mention him. He is still so immature even though he has grown up. He only knows how to give me trouble.” Wang Xifan sighed. “He isn’t young and yet he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. I’m worried.”
President Hua listened to it and her heart moved. No matter what, Wang Xifan’s condition is similar to my family’s. So, she asked, “How old is your son?”
“Nineteen. He’s a freshman at Song Jiang Industry University.” Wang Xifan replied casually.
” Oh ? Your son is attending Song Jiang Industry University as well?” President Hua was stunned as she asked.
Wang Xifan nodded with a smile and said, “Yeah, aren’t you envious about it? My son is so big now! Seeing that President Hua is so young, your daughter shouldn’t be too old? Is she in junior high school?”
“What? … Mr. Wang, you’re too farfetched in your compliments… How can I be so young?” Although President Hua said so, she was very happy and smiled satisfyingly. “My daughter also coincidentally is studying at Song Jiang Industry University.”
” Oh ?” Wang Xifan was surprised. “What a coincidence! Hehe, what does your daughter major in?”
“Computer science. What about your son?” asked President Hua.
“My son is studying business management. Here, this is my son…” Wang Xifan handed his cell phone to President Hua. On the screensaver was Wang Zhitao.
” Oh ? A fine young man, a talented person. To tell you the truth, Mr. Wang, your son is more handsome than you!” President Hua laughed.
” Haha , certainly, certainly.” Wang Xifan listened to this praise of Wang Zhitao. It was merrier than praising himself. “I’m old already, hehe…”
“This is my daughter. You also take a look…” President Hua pushed her cell phone to Wang Xifan.
Wang Xifan couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that people of their age liked to set up phone screensavers with their children’s pictures.
” Ya , the little girl looks so beautiful. I can tell with one look that she appears to be clever.” Wang Xifan praised, “At first glance, she must attract a lot of people… Does the girl have a husband already?”
“President Wang really likes to joke around. How old is she? How can she have a husband? But, if President Wang has a suitable young man, introduce him to Jiajia. The youngsters at this age are quite fancy with having a relationship. It isn’t like our days when an arranged interview to evaluate a proposed marriage partner is fine enough for marriage to happen.”
Wang Xifan heard the words of President Hua and he was moved. “President Hua, what do you think about the kid in my family? My family’s Zhitao doesn’t have a partner yet. Can I self-recommend?”
“No way? Really? President Wang, your son is so handsome. How can he not have a girlfriend yet?” President Hua pretended to be surprised.
“Haven’t I said it before? This kid is so big and he still has no girlfriend yet.” Wang Xifan replied.
” Hehe , I thought you were joking at the time!” President Hua smiled. “That’s good. The two children seem great. Should we let them interact with each other first?”
“Sure, then both of us are relatives by marriage. Come. Let’s drink to them…” Wang Xifan raised the glass of wine in his hand.
“Cheers…” President Hua raised her glass.
Both of them sent an MMS [1] to each other with their cell phones. They exchanged photos of each other’s children. The banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
In the evening, Wang Zhitao returned home from school. Wang Xifan also just returned from drinking wine. When he saw Wang Zhitao, he asked, “Zhitao, how were your final exams?”
“Not bad. Dad, were you drinking again?” Wang Zhitao frowned. “Didn’t the doctor ask you to drink less?”
” Hehe , I’m just too happy today. Normally, I would only dabble in it.” Wang Xifan laughed.
“Happy? Dad, what big business have you made?” Wang Zhitao asked casually.
“What can be happy about doing business?” Wang Xifan shook his head and said, “This excellent thing on my side is about you!”
“About me?” Wang Zhitao looked at his father in a somewhat puzzled manner. “Dad, what is it?”
” Hehe , Zhitao, you aren’t young now. Shouldn’t you be getting a girlfriend?” asked Wang Xifan.
“Dad…” Wang Zhitao listened to Wang Xifan’s words. He seemed down-spirited. “Don’t mention this…”
“What’s wrong? When boys and girls get older, they get married. What can’t be mentioned?” said Wang Xifan.
“Dad, don’t you already know? My good deeds have been ruined by that kid, Yang Ming…” Speaking of this, Wang Zhitao’s eyes showed a look of bitterness.
” Hehe , there are plenty more fishes in the sea.” Wang Xifan said with a smile, “How about letting your dad introduce one to you?”
“Forget it. I won’t necessarily like the person you introduce…” Wang Zhitao shook his head.
“You haven’t seen her yet. How do you know you won’t like her?” Wang Xifan said, “I think she is very good. A daughter of my business partner.”
“…” Wang Zhitao shook his head. “I’m even more disdained about a marriage for business.”
“Zhitao, you aren’t young. Dad is introducing you to a girlfriend for your own good!” Wang Xifan suddenly said very seriously, “A girl that dad picked can’t be bad, can it? You’re my son. How I can harm you? I even brought the photo back. Look at it first!”
“That… Alright, then I will take a look…” Wang Zhitao noticed his father was agitated. He had to nod and agree. However, I just said that I’m going to take a look at the photo and didn’t say that I would accept the arranged marriage.
Wang Xifan opened the MMS on his cell phone and handed it to Wang Zhitao.
Wang Zhitao took it casually and glanced at it. His gazes could no longer be separated. His mouth dropped widely and he exclaimed, “Why is it her? Zhou Jiajia?”
” En ? Zhitao, what’s wrong? Do you know President Hua’s daughter?” asked Wang Xifan, bewildered due to his son’s expression.
“Dad, why is it Zhou Jiajia?” Wang Zhitao was a little excited and asked quickly.
“She seems to be called Jiajia…” Wang Xifan nodded and said, “This is the daughter of President Hua of Xinhua Mingyue Real Estate. She is Dad’s business partner.”
“Dad, I’ll agree to this marriage!” Wang Zhitao said excitedly, “The key is that does she agree?”
“President Hua, of course, had agreed. If President Hua disagreed, how could she let me tell you?” Wang Xifan nodded.
“No, Dad. I mean, does Zhou Jiajia agree?” Wang Zhitao explained.
“Zhou Jiajia? How do you know that she disagrees? Her mother has agreed. What opinion can she have?” Wang Xifan smiled as he couldn’t comprehend it.
“Dad, this Zhou Jiajia. She was the girl I told you about before. She is the one I am competing with Yang Ming over!” Wang Zhitao said quickly.
” Ah ?” When Wang Xifan listened to Wang Zhitao’s words, he also couldn’t help but say, “Really, isn’t this thing too coincidental?”
“It’s just like that. There’s no reason for me to lie to you!” Wang Zhitao said quickly.
“Then you wait for a moment. I will call President Hua again to ask.” Wang Xifan said after thinking for a while.
“Alright…” Wang Zhitao’s hand was trembling when he was holding the cell phone. He handed the phone to his father, and then stood by and watched Wang Xifan make the call.
Wang Xifan looked at his son’s anxious look and couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t worry. This is an almost certainty.”
The phone call was connected. The voice of President Hua came in. “President Wang, why did you call me when we’re just separated? Is there an urgent matter?”
” Hehe , this is the case. After I went home, I showed your daughter’s photo to Zhitao. Zhitao agreed at once!” Wang Xifan said, “I’m just in a hurry to call you to tell you about this good news!”
“Really? That’s great!” President Hua smiled. “I haven’t seen my daughter yet. When I see her, I will tell her about it.”
“President Hua, there’s something that I don’t know if should I talk about…” Wang Xifan said.
“What’s wrong? President Wang, this isn’t like you. Why do you still hide your words? We’re almost relatives by marriage already. Is there something that can’t be said?” President Hua teased.
