Material Empire

"Brother, what did you see him doing!"

Hearing Qin Hai's request, Qin Shan's face suddenly turned pale, and she asked nervously.

"Hey, he wants to chase my sister, shouldn't I, as an older brother, examine him?" Qin Hai said.

"What do you want to tell him?" Qin Shan asked.

Qin Hai shook his head and said, "I won't say anything to him, just chatting casually, mainly to see this person's character. Your social experience is too little, I'm afraid you will be fooled by bad people."

"It's not a bad person to study philosophy. He's just a nerd, and he doesn't have as much social experience as I do." Qin Shan argued, stomping her feet.

Tranquility interjected from the side: "Shan'er, I also think you should let Qin Hai meet Xiao Cui. After all, you have been talking for so long, and it's time to meet the parents of both parties. Qin Hai rarely comes to the capital, If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next time will be. You two are not too young, why should you keep procrastinating like this?"

"But, who knows what my brother will say nonsense..." Qin Shan said duplicity.

What Tranquility said was actually what Qin Shan was thinking. She and Cui Xuezhe have been dating for more than a year, and they have already begun to discuss the matter of getting married and buying a house in the future. It would be a lie to say that she is not in a hurry. She just couldn't muster up the courage to confess this matter to her parents, but from the bottom of her heart, she also hoped that her family could meet Cui Xuezhe sooner and give them a pass. Now that Qin Hai offered to meet Cui Xuezhe, on the one hand, she was delighted, but on the other hand, she was full of nervousness. The feeling of worrying about gains and losses was really indescribable.

"Don't worry, I won't expose your lies. You just say that I'm on a business trip to the capital, and the air conditioner in the bathroom of Huaqing University is broken, and you ask me to come and fix it. I just chat with him and see his people It's just a product, what are you afraid of?" Qin Hai said.

"Are you really not putting on airs of the chairman?" Qin Shan asked.

"No." Qin Hai replied.

"Didn't you say our family is rich?"

"Did not say."

"Well, okay then... I'll contact him." Qin Shan stood up shyly, and went into the room to make a phone call.

Tranquility watched Qin Shan go away, took a small digital pager from the table, smiled wryly and said to Qin Hai:

"Shan'er pretended hard enough to keep Xiao Cui from knowing that she was rich. She obviously had a mobile phone, but she never took it out when she was dating. Both of us have landline phones in our room, and she didn't talk to her. Xiao Cui said that she would ask Xiao Cui to call her if something happened, and she would go back, and each time she had to wait a few minutes before returning, pretending to go to the duty room to make a call.

You see, this little pager was given to her by Xiao Cui, and it cost more than 500 yuan. Now there is that kind of Hanxian pager on the market, which costs more than 2,000 yuan, and Xiao Cui can't afford it. "

"Sometimes, I really envy them this kind of life." Qin Hai sighed, "I'm so poor that I only have money left, and I can't find the kind of digital machine that costs 500 yuan for my girlfriend. happy."

Tranquility reprimanded with half anger and half anger: "Forget it, when someone has 600 yuan, he is willing to spend 500 yuan to buy a digital machine for his girlfriend. You have billions, and even spend 1 million yuan for your girlfriend. Friends are reluctant to buy a diamond ring."

"Aren't you wearing a diamond ring now?" Qin Hai retorted.

"This is a gift from Prince Flanding, otherwise how would you be willing to buy it?" Tranquility touched the bright diamond ring in her hand and said with a smile.

This diamond ring was given to Prince Flanding by Flanding as a thank you gift when Qin Hai helped Prince Flanding deal with oil pollution at the seaside of Le Havre. There were more than a dozen diamond rings given by Flanding, Qin Shan and Qin Ling both got one, but the best one was the one now worn by Tranquility. Qin Hai remembered that when he gave the diamond ring to Tranquility, Tranquility's eyes shone with excitement. Although Tranquility is a superconducting female doctor, she is no different from other girls in this respect.

Just because this diamond ring was given to Qin Hai by someone else, and Qin Hai gave it to Tranquility, and Tranquility used this to tease Qin Hai, saying that he was too stingy, even giving a diamond ring to his girlfriend took such a small amount of money. Cheap. Of course, this was just a joke. It was Tranquility herself who refused to buy a high-priced diamond ring in Paris, because she was essentially a girl from an ordinary family, and she was very cautious when spending money.

The two of them were chatting when Qin Shan came out of the room with a worried expression on her face. Qin Hai asked: "How is it? Have you made an appointment?"

"It's an appointment..." Qin Shan sat down on the sofa, hesitated for a while, and then said, "He said his parents also want to see us."

"This is what the parents of the two parties mean when they meet." Qin Hai said with a smile, "Okay, let's use this opportunity to meet each other, and I will also see what his family looks like. We have a local saying in Anhe called 'marry Look at the three generations', let's not say that the family is right, the other party must be an honest family, right?"

"But..." Qin Shan hesitated.

"What?" Qin Hai asked.

Qin Shan said: "What if his parents think our family is not as good as theirs?"

"Dislike?" Qin Hai's head was full of black lines, "We dare not say in the whole world, but in China, there seem to be not many people who are qualified to dislike our family, right?"

"I'm telling you seriously!" Qin Shan was in a hurry, and tears even flashed in her eyes, "I'm not talking about the real situation of our family, I mean, his parents are government officials in the capital, but I said our parents are workers in the township enterprises, and you are also workers in the factory in the county. Xuezhe never said that he looked down on our family members, what if his parents are a bit snobbish?"

"Then let's say it straight ahead, saying that your brother is now worth more than a billion dollars, and even you yourself have a dowry of tens of millions." Qin Hai said with a smile.

"The philosophies will definitely not be able to accept it!" Qin Shan said.

"Shan'er, don't worry." Tranquility patted Qin Shan's arm and said, "Xiao Cui must know who his parents are, if his parents are really snobbish, Xiao Cui will not let them come to see you And Qin Hai. I think Xiao Cui must have told his parents about the story you made up. Regardless of whether your family is from a rural area, you are a Ph.D. student from Huaqing, which is enough to be worthy of Xiao Cui gone."

"Oh, that's the only way..." Qin Shan said helplessly.

This is really an unsolvable question. If the family background is too good, it may make the other party feel pressured, or like Qin Hai worried, it will attract some people who want to take the opportunity to hug thick legs; It's too bad, and I have to worry about whether the other party will look down on me. The reason why Qin Shan is so entangled is, in the final analysis, because she is too deeply involved. Young people in love are hopeless, and Qin Hai has nothing to do about it.

The time for the parents of the two parties to meet was at dinner time the next day, and the place was in the area of ​​Heping Street on the North Third Ring Road, which was originally a place with a relatively dense number of government agencies.

Because Tranquility is not yet a legitimate sister-in-law, it is not suitable for such a meeting. If Cui Xuezhe didn't arrange for his parents to attend, it would be fine for Tranquility to accompany Qin Hai, because everyone is young and easy to talk to. Now that there are elders present, it would be a little embarrassing for Tranquility to appear, so she was simply not allowed to attend.

In order to make Qin Hai look more like a worker, Qin Shan and Tranquility really worked hard. Although Qin Hai didn't intend to pursue any luxury brands, but because he often had to participate in some high-level business activities, he was somewhat particular about his attire. Now if you want to pretend to be an ordinary worker with a low income, you have to change all the expensive clothes on your body, so that people can think that you are a young worker from a small place.

It is obviously inappropriate to go to the market to buy new clothes now. Qin Hai called Su Yabo and asked the group office to send several sets of blue khaki work clothes with the words "Qingfeng Machinery Factory" on them. It looks really serious.

"Brother Qin, Qin Shan, you are here, hurry up and sit inside..."

The brothers and sisters came to the agreed restaurant, and Cui Xuezhe was already waiting there. Seeing the two coming from the bus station, the young man rushed forward to meet them, with a warm smile on his face. In fact, Cui Xuezhe is the same age as Qin Hai, but as a brother-in-law, he is naturally half shorter.

"Are you studying philosophy? My name is Qin Hai." Qin Hai stretched out his hand neither humble nor overbearing, shook Cui Xuezhe, and followed him to the restaurant.

Qin Shan followed Qin Hai, and did not dare to go to the other side to hold hands with her boyfriend. She was somewhat cautious when showing her boyfriend in front of her family for the first time.

"I called my dad just now, and he said that there is still some work to be done in the unit, so he will come here a little later, and he specifically asked me to apologize to Brother Qin." Cui Xuezhe explained to Qin Hai.

Qin Hai said: "Don't dare, work is the most important thing. Let's eat and chat as a family. It doesn't matter if we wait a while."

While speaking, the three of them had already walked into the private room. Cui Xuezhe pointed to the seat above and said to Qin Hai: "Brother Qin, you are a guest from afar, please take a seat."

"That's not okay. Uncle and aunt will come soon. They are elders. How can I dare to sit on the table?" Qin Hai said.

"Actually... my father is very casual." Cui Xuezhe said dully, but he also knew that Qin Hai was right, so he didn't insist on it anymore.

Qin Hai sat down next to the chief seat, and Cui Xuezhe and Qin Shan naturally sat down. Seeing that Cui Xuezhe looked even more cramped than Qin Shan, Qin Hai felt slightly satisfied in his heart. Most of the children who grew up in the capital are relatively ostentatious, and a Ph.D. from the Academy of Sciences like Cui Xuezhe may generally be a little arrogant. Now it seems that this young man is not tainted with arrogance, which is indeed quite commendable.

"Xiao Cui, I heard from Xiaoshan that you are a Ph.D. from the Materials Institute of the Academy of Sciences. What are you researching?" Qin Hai said, and he wanted to test the other party's ability.
