Zhao Mingyang was not surprised at all when Gu Man's parents arrived.
Gu Man has not been able to solve this matter. After all, this matter is a major event in life. Her parents must be concerned about it. They are also old and they will keep urging her. They will also urge Zhao Mingyang to give a wedding and a wedding.
The sense of ritual, especially in Gu Man's hometown, takes this very seriously. What they care about is the gossip of the family members.
For Zhao Mingyang, this matter is nothing, and for Gu Man, this matter is nothing, but for the two of them to get married and have children, Gu Man would not agree, because this period is the period when her career is on the rise, and she knows
If you sit firmly in this position, you will be stable if you are urged to have a baby.
She may have to miss a year. If she misses this time, she knows very well that she may never be able to enter Zhao Mingyang's inner circle again. Her competitors include Hua Xizhi, Qiu Shuhong, Mu Tong, Ning Dongsheng, Ye
Sichuan, even Hao Ren and Brother Xiaosha, etc.
Enterprise is not a child's play, and there is no emotion at all. Only by being able to convince the crowd and having your own group of people can you become successful.
Gu Man has just begun to achieve results now. She is not working on the project in South Vietnam alone. Others are the default leader for Zhao Mingyang, but they are competitors to each other.
For example, Hua Xizhi took the lead in leading the team to South Vietnam. Hua Xizhi was a person with a strong desire to win, as was Gu Man, and even more so Ye Chuan. They all wanted to claim the other's things as their own.
At this level, you can have love and so on, but it is not everything. Interest comes first.
As for feelings, they are mutual. Gu Man is now facing a family relationship. She can't explain so much to her parents, and they won't listen to her explanations. They only look at the results.
Family affection is Gu Man's last line of defense and bottom line. She doesn't want to lose it, but she's not willing to be out like this.
When an enterprise reaches a certain scale, no one person can have the final say, not even Zhao Mingyang, because everyone has their own power, and Zhao Mingyang cannot favor anyone, because everyone's eyes are on them.
This is also why when faced with some veterans and princes, there is no way to make a move. It’s not that they don’t want to make a move, but that they can’t. Otherwise, this group of people will turn against them. When everyone is working for their own benefit, the only thing the emperor can do to stabilize this group of people is to protect everyone.
people's interests.
Even the prince has no decision-making power, so he cannot be dismissed easily. The prince is a force with many interests tied up behind him. For example, the power of the prince's mother supports the interests of the group of people on the stage.
Gu Man knew that in the future, when the scale of the company expanded again, Zhao Mingyang could at most unite the other party to deal with one party, instead of being able to control the entire company at will.
Now everyone relies on Zhao Mingyang, because Zhao Mingyang can make everyone profitable, but when the benefits reach a saturation level, no one can say for sure.
Gu Man also wants to become a leader and not be influenced by anyone. This is Zhao Mingyang's ambition in her. Zhao Mingyang likes this group of capable and ambitious people because these people will maximize and perfect what Zhao Mingyang wants to present.
Present.
The world stage has just begun. She needs to be stable for at least two or three years. Once she has established herself, she can do something with peace of mind before she dares to step back. Otherwise, she will have to take care of her children at home.
Can children trap Zhao Mingyang? Gu Man thinks it is impossible, but he wants women? There will be no shortage at all. If there is no shortage of women, there will be no shortage of children, but she is a capable assistant.
And what does Gu Man want? Gu Man wants to be the focus of the world's attention, and doesn't want to live in eternity.
Not only her, but now Ye Chuan and the others also have the same idea, because they have not reached this level before, but now they can reach it, who will just give up and not give it a try?
There are not many opportunities, so Gu Man wants Zhao Mingyang to convince her parents.
Zhao Mingyang was not in a hurry to meet Gu Mande's parents, but made an agreement with Gu Man to talk at Gu Man's house in the evening.
He drove back first, took a shower and slept, arranged for people to do some things, and waited until night to deal with Gu Man's parents.
Don't do it in a hurry just because you are anxious. If something is not an urgent matter, you must calm down first and then think carefully. You must put yourself in the other person's shoes and think about what the other person is thinking. Go through it once or twice in your mind.
At least two countermeasures are needed to deal with it.
In the adult world, there are no mistakes that are allowed to be made, so you have to think twice before you act.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Mingyang went out wearing a black windbreaker and glasses. Instead of driving, he went to the restaurant downstairs to eat a bowl of beef noodles. He asked the boss to add 30 yuan for beef noodles.
Zhao Mingyang has a question: does Lanzhou Beef Noodles only use one cow a year in the world? Why can the beef slices be cut thinner than paper?
After eating and drinking, a young man brought a document bag to Zhao Mingyang, and Zhao Mingyang took the document bag and got into a black business car.
When he arrived downstairs at Gu Manjia, Zhao Mingyang got out of the car, picked up two bottles of wine from the trunk, took out a bottle of milk, drank it, wiped his mouth and went upstairs.
Zhao Mingyang rang the doorbell of the building. He liked to remind people like this, because the things that a family of three talked about must be different from what Zhao Mingyang was present. If Zhao Mingyang opened the door and barged in and heard something bad, it would be very embarrassing.
Let's leave some good things to each other.
After all, parents-in-law and father-in-law and mother-in-law are in a sense the most familiar strangers. They can treat father-in-law and mother-in-law as biological parents. Unless they are orphans, it is impossible to treat this relationship as biological parents. This
You also need to grasp the scale well. When you talk to your parents, you must never say it to the other person's parents. The outcome will be different and your thoughts will be different.
After the building door was opened, Zhao Mingyang entered the unit building and entered the elevator.
This is a building with three elevators per unit. Although the floors are high, people will not have to wait for a long time for the elevator.
When they arrived at the door of Gu Man's house, the door opened in front of their house. Zhao Mingyang entered the house with a smile and carried the wine and said: "I heard from Gu Man that uncle and aunt are here, so I wanted to have a good drink with my uncle.
There are too many meetings today, I'm sorry, otherwise I should have come over at noon, but there is an emergency meeting that must be held in the afternoon."
Gu Man took the wine brought by Zhao Mingyang and said, "Hurry and wash your hands, the food is ready."
"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry. I didn't eat anything for lunch." Zhao Mingyang changed his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash his hands and came out and invited Gu Man's parents to sit down.
Gu Man's parents saw that Gu Man was living so well and living so well now. Especially when they heard that the house Zhao Mingyang bought for her was in her name, and the property worth tens of millions was given to Gu Man.
Gu Man's parents became passive.
Gu Man deliberately told her parents this information, just to cut off her parents' strong posture from the source.
Zhao Mingyang opened a bottle of Moutai and said: "Uncle, try this wine. It is a limited edition of Moutai released for the 2008 Olympic Games. I wonder if you like to drink it. Auntie, would you like to drink some too?"
"I don't drink." Gu Man's mother said.
"Pour it for my mother, she knows how to drink it. Mom, this wine costs tens of thousands per bottle. If you don't drink it, you'll be at a loss." Gu Man said again deliberately.
Sure enough, when Gu Man's parents heard that there were tens of thousands bottles of wine, they instinctively wanted to drink some and try it, so they opened them to taste the taste of these tens of thousands bottles of wine.
Zhao Mingyang poured half a glass for Gu Man's parents. He originally wanted to use a small wine glass, but when he thought about it, that wouldn't work, so Zhao Mingyang bought a six-liang glass from the kitchen. One bottle of wine and three people lost it.
Gu Man cooked a table of seafood and asked someone to prepare a king crab and deliver it.
Gu Man was busy picking up vegetables and peeling shrimps for them, and she didn't drink. In the impression of her parents, she was still a child, playing the role of a good girl. She didn't want to break this perception. After all, being treated as a child by her parents was the same.
To be happy, her parents were coming, so she hid the cigarettes at home and asked the cleaning lady to ventilate the room. The ashtrays were cleaned and placed on the coffee table in the living room. It seemed that no one smoked at home and they were used to entertain others.
Zhao Mingyang clinked glasses with Gu Man's parents, drank some wine and said: "Uncle and aunt, you must have a good time when you come here, let Gu Man take you to have a good time and go shopping.
"
Gu Man's father drank some wine and talked too much. He put down his glass and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't think I'm verbose. Your aunt and I are here mainly for the sake of you and Man Man.
You also know that she is not too young for us at her age, so there will inevitably be some gossip.
The main reason is that we pay more attention to the sense of ceremony. What your aunt and I want is whether you can go home and hold a banquet, at least let your relatives and friends witness it.
Otherwise, there are too many gossips, and when people ask us why we didn’t invite them to our daughter’s wedding, we can’t explain it.”
Zhao Mingyang opened another bottle of liquor and poured some for Gu Man's father, and then poured some for Gu Man's father. After pouring some for himself, the bottle of wine was gone again.
Zhao Mingyang put down the bottle and said: "Uncle, I don't like to hear what you said. What do you mean by saying that you and aunt are nagging? This is what we should do. I understand your mood very well. My parents also urged me.
Ah, this sense of ritual is Chinese tradition, and I support it, but so be it."
As long as a but is added to something, it is actually negated in disguise.
Zhao Mingyang got up and went to get the folder he had brought, opened it in front of his two elders, and took out two marriage certificates.
When the second elder saw this, he felt a lot more at ease in his heart. When Gu Man saw it, he said, I'm going to stop him, this grandson is cheating.
"Mom and Dad, I have to call you mom and dad. It's really wrong to call you uncle and aunt. This is my fault. Manman and I got the certificate before. The reason why we didn't have a wedding is actually to protect our privacy. You also
You know, the two of us have achieved a little bit.
Especially since Manman has frequently appeared in front of the camera recently, we don’t want our privacy to be known to more people. Let’s put it this way, parents, Manman and I no longer represent the two of us. Every move, word and deed of ours is to
It involves paying a certain price and involving great benefits.
For example, if the media makes a random statement, the company we work for may be affected by us, which affects more than one company, including the wages of thousands of employees and the interests of tens of thousands of shareholders.
Manman is about to move to a bigger stage, under more spotlights, and her every word and deed will be noticed by the media.
I wanted Manman to invite your two elders to come over before, so that you could live here and it would be convenient for us to take care of you, but Manman said that you are used to living in your hometown.
I won’t say more, but this time you are here, I also want to talk to you about the two of us. Not only do we need to protect a certain amount of privacy, but we also need to protect your privacy and even safety, because we
The two of us are in a whirlpool, and the interests we are involved in are too great.
Neither of us has even announced our identities publicly so that we won't be implicated in negative news about each other.
Look at this, this is a report by some overseas Chinese media. I have tried my best to find someone to remove it in China. This is why we can no longer live the same life as ordinary people as you understand."
Zhao Mingyang took out two newspapers, one was from Singapore and the other was a Chinese newspaper from Malay. The date of the newspaper was a year ago.
The title is very eye-catching [The new queen of the financial circle, Gu Man and the mysterious man are in the same room]. It also has a photo of Gu Man and a blurry photo of Zhao Mingyang. The two were captured holding hands. The head looks like theirs, but the body is
A photo of a celebrity couple taken by an overseas paparazzi.
The content is an introduction to Gu Man. For example, Gu Man is the female CEO of a company with a market value of 100 billion. Her words and deeds currently affect the financial market. She even said that Gu Man went to South Vietnam to inspect and may invest in projects worth 10 billion.
·····
Gu Man's parents were also surprised. Is their daughter already so awesome?
They still thought she was just a child and an ordinary office worker.
Let me instill an idea into them first. Gu Man and Zhao Mingyang are so good that the media will follow them. Every move they make is worth tens of billions of dollars, which is similar to some politicians.
This will make them feel respectable and comfortable, and they will also feel that Zhao Mingyang and the others are excused for not having a wedding. They will even brag to their friends that their children are awesome and they don’t have to wait too long. After a while, Gu Man will appear on the TV station several times.
After reading the newspaper, they can take the initiative to post on WeChat Moments to deliberately let people see Gu Man's achievements.
"We really didn't consider this." Gu Man's mother said with a rosy face.
"Actually, we are more concerned about your two elders. If Gu Man and I get married and are photographed and posted online by a group of people, many media will come to you to interview you for some information about Gu Man. My parents are in business and know how to do it.
I wanted to deal with this kind of thing, but I didn’t want to deal with it either, so I told them.
Media people and even our rival companies are invited to ask you questions deliberately. After you say something, they will quote it out of context. Even the words of some relatives and friends will be amplified. For example, Gu Man's classmates may be interviewed by a group of media in the future.
I am even more afraid that they will disturb your lives. I have taken care of some domestic media, but I cannot say hello to many foreign media.
Well, we still have to hold the wedding, I will make the arrangements."
Zhao Mingyang's last words almost made Gu Man break his guard. He didn't expect that Zhao Mingyang really wanted to give her a wedding. She had never dared to think about it before.
Zhao Mingyang's words also gave Gu Man's parents some reassurance. They actually heard some gossip saying that Gu Man had found a married woman and that they were taking care of her and not giving her a status. She was a little wife and so on.
Rumors of gossip.
As is human nature, there will always be a group of people who don't see others living well, so they start spreading rumors. Especially in small places, rumors spread very quickly.
Zhao Mingyang also knows the potential harm of this kind of thing. Is it to ruin someone's reputation?
So Zhao Mingyang decided to give Gu Man a wedding, and a very luxurious wedding.
"Mom and Dad, go back and make a list and tell the invitees that our wedding will be held in the Aegean Sea.
We will cover all the food, clothing, accommodation and transportation for all the invited guests, and I will charter a flight when the time comes."
"Xiao Zhao, there's no need to do that. Just do it locally." Gu Man's father said.
"You only get married once in your life. If you want to do a major event in life, it should be done in a more serious way. No matter what you do in your place, it won't make it look serious. After all, the hotel is not of high standard.
And I also want Gu Man’s face to be bright, so it’s settled, you go back and let the guests prepare to apply for passports, and I will arrange to meet you."
The Gu Man family may not know why Zhao Mingyang did this.
After all, this is indeed a bit too high-profile, so high-profile that it may be in the news. Charter flights are all operated by the rich.
Zhao Mingyang has already thought about what to do, because this is the safest way.
