I have to say that the older generation does pay attention to these illusory things.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, we got into the Rolls-Royce.
Lin Zhongxiao and Lin Chen sat in the back seat, Lin Xiaorou sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was Lin Zhongxiao's secretary, Yao Ruolan.
Lin Zhongxiao closed his eyes and seemed to be resting his mind, but in fact he was predicting the next situation.
Yao Ruolan suddenly spoke and asked, "I've always wanted to ask, how much gift did you prepare for this brat?"
Lin Zhongxiao stretched out a finger.
"one million?
so much?"
Yao Ruolan blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise.
Lin Zhongxiao shook his head: "It's not one million."
"ah?
One hundred thousand?
Isn’t it a little less?”
Yao Ruolan frowned and asked.
"One hundred thousand?
Who are you looking down on?"
Lin Zhongxiao said angrily: "One hundred million."
"What?
!”
"Cough cough cough!"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Ruolan was so shocked that she coughed! A gift of 100 million?
Isn’t this too much?
How can there be such a sky-high price for a betrothal gift?
! After stabilizing her emotions, Yao Ruolan curled her lips and said: "Although our Lin Group is getting bigger and bigger, the time is still short and the overall profit is not much. You spent more than 10 million to buy this car yesterday. Today,
You have to spend another 100 million as a gift, how can you get so much money?"
Lin Zhongxiao replied calmly with two words: "Public funds."
"puff!"
Yao Ruolan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood! "Wha...what?"
!You actually embezzled public funds privately?
! Even if you are the chairman, you can't..." Yao Ruolan shouted as his car was unstable.
Lin Zhongxiao replied calmly: "Don't worry, it will be deducted from my shares. You drive well."
Yao Ruolan knew Lin Zhongxiao's character very well and knew that he was a stubborn cow. Once he made a decision, no one in the world except Lin Chen could make him change his mind! "Alas!"
Yao Ruolan sighed and thought: It seems that the next step is to deal with the old guys on the board of directors. Although it is a bit troublesome, I will never let this man's position as chairman waver in the slightest! Yao Ruolan secretly made a decision.
, at this moment, her eyes became extremely firm and sharp! … At the same time, in the Xia family’s boudoir.
Three female makeup artists stood beside Xia Chuxue, applying makeup to the latter.
But even so, it couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes! Like Lin Zhongxiao, Xia Chuxue was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night! At this moment, Xia Chuxue was yawning all day long and tears were streaming down her face.
The three makeup artists couldn't laugh or cry. One of the young and lively makeup artists joked: "This is just an engagement. If you get married, will you not sleep for ten days and ten nights?"
Xia Chuxue yawned and said, "I can't help it. I secreted a lot of thyroxine and adrenaline last night, and I couldn't sleep no matter what."
Hearing this, the eldest female makeup artist smiled and said: "It seems that our sister Chuxue has finally met the prince charming in her heart."
Xia Chuxue smiled, her expression a little shy.
At this moment, with a "creak", the door suddenly opened.
An old figure walked in uninvited, it was the old lady of the Xia family.
"I've met the old lady."
The three female makeup artists hurriedly saluted.
"No need to see anyone else, let's put makeup on Chuxue quickly."
The old lady leaned on a cane, waved her hand, and ordered.
"yes."
How dare three female makeup artists do ink?
He hurriedly put his heart and soul into Xia Chuxue’s makeup.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
Xia Chuxue asked curiously.
The old lady replied: "I'm here to discuss the bride price with you."
"bride price?
Is it a bride price from our family to the Lin family?"
Xia Chuxue blurted out and asked.
Because women in the Xia family usually recruit sons-in-law, and the woman has always given the man a bride price, that's why Xia Chuxue asked this question.
"Nonsense!"
The old lady scolded angrily, sat on a chair, and lectured: "It's not like recruiting a son-in-law. How can a woman give a bride price to a man?"
"Too."
Xia Chuxue stuck out her tongue.
Afterwards, Xia Chuxue's face straightened up and she asked, "Since it is the Lin family who gave us the Xia family's betrothal gift, what are we still discussing?
They can give as much as they want, it doesn’t matter.”
The old lady stared and said angrily: "Does it not matter if they give us a dollar?"
Xia Chuxue shrugged: "The bride price is just a formality, it doesn't matter how much it is.
I chose Lin Chen not because of the betrothal gift."
Because the old lady was sitting behind Xia Chuxue, Xia Chuxue did not see the old lady's expression of hatred, and continued: "Besides, the Lin family has just developed, and they probably don't have much money. According to me,
, there is no need to ask for a betrothal gift at all.”
"As I said before, I chose Lin Chen because of him as a person, not as a gift."
"Grandma, I'm young, your situation is small~" There was a hint of joking in Xia Chuxue's serious tone.
"well!"
The old lady sighed softly and said with emotion: "As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water thrown out. You are lucky, before she is married, she has already been thrown on the ground and evaporated into water vapor by the sun."
"Hahaha!"
Xia Chuxue was so amused that she giggled.
"Actually..." The old lady suddenly changed the topic and said: "I'm not confused, so how could I not know that you are lucky to marry Lin Aotian, and it is also the blessing of my Xia family."
"I came to you not to discuss how much dowry you should ask them for, but to discuss how much dowry you should give them in return."
"The man gives a bride price and the woman brings a dowry. This has been the rule since ancient times."
Although the old lady's voice was soft, there was an irresistible flavor in her tone! "Dowry..." Xia Chuxue blinked thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Ten times
How about the betrothal gift?"
"ten times?
!”
The old lady twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "Are you really treating yourself like water being thrown away?
?
?”
Xia Chuxue stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "Then eight times, no less, otherwise it will appear that we are not sincere!"
"Eight times?"
The corners of the old lady's eyes twitched! She finally saw that her granddaughter's elbow had turned outwards! "Oh!"
The old lady sighed and said: "You can't keep a daughter in college! You can't protect yourself from old age by raising a daughter!"
Xia Chuxue was so amused that she giggled and said, "Grandma, you can't say this in front of my parents, otherwise they won't love me."
"That's all!"
The old lady waved her hand angrily and said: "Eight times is eight times. Even if the Lin family contributes 1 million, eight times is just 8 million. It's a joke!"
"And..." The old lady changed her mind and said in her heart: Lin Aotian lacks nothing. Therefore, if the Xia family wants to have a good relationship with his Lin family, they can only start from Lin's father and use the sincerity of eight times the betrothal gift.
In exchange for the friendship between the two families for generations, this deal is worth it!
