"The latest news from our station is that a traffic accident just occurred on Xuhui Road. The accident resulted in the death of two people. The deceased were a husband and wife..."
A news about a traffic accident was playing on the TV.
Lin Zhiming sat on the sofa and watched TV.
The two people involved in the car accident were Wang Jun and his wife.
For Lin Zhiming, there is no need for beasts to live in this world, and the punishment of the law may be too slow or too light, so he sent the two people on their way first, which can be regarded as letting their family have mutual understanding below.
Take care of.
The cloud health project scandal has since been completely cleared up. Chen Tianrui was sent to prison. Perhaps with his huge financial resources, he could hire a top lawyer to defend him and reduce his sentence. But in a short period of time, this person would definitely
There is no way he can turn around, and his industry will be greatly affected by this incident.
Things are changing so quickly.
At this time, it had been nearly a month since Lin Zhiming came to Xiahai City.
Lin Zhiming looked at his phone and saw that today was the 7th.
He still remembered that he had promised Bi Feiyun last month to attend the apprenticeship ceremony of Li Tiesheng, the God of Thunder, on the 10th of this month. Looking at the time, he should be able to make it in time.
So Lin Zhiming sent a message to Bi Feiyun and asked about the specific itinerary.
Bi Feiyun soon sent a message. On the 9th, they will go to Nanwai Island where Li Tiesheng's sect is located. Everyone will meet and chat with each other. Those who are interested can learn from each other. Wait until
On the second day, we will observe the apprenticeship ceremony, and on the third day, which is the 11th, we will go back to our respective homes.
The total trip lasts for three days.
After Lin Zhiming thought for a moment, he and Bi Feiyun decided to go to Nanwai Island together.
For Lin Zhiming, everyone in the group is a martial arts master. Although he is better than most people, it is also a good thing for him to make friends with a few more such martial arts masters.
Therefore, Lin Zhiming took the opportunity to book a flight to Nanwai Island on the 9th.
In other words, Lin Zhiming's time in Xiahai City is only today and tomorrow.
Lin Zhiming felt that time passed really quickly. Before he knew it, he had stayed in Xiahai City for nearly a month, and it was already April.
Zhang Quan's development in Xiahai City has completely exceeded Lin Zhiming's expectations. With just this one project, Zhang Quan can allow Yaojin Capital to completely gain a foothold in Xiahai City.
At the same time, Song Siqing has also opened up her own situation in the upper-class circles of Xiahai City. Although she is still far away from the first-tier celebrities, she can already be regarded as the leader among the second-tier celebrities, and all of this is due to Lin Zhiming.
Brought to her in months.
In this month, Lin Zhiming took Song Siqing to attend various activities. Originally, Song Siqing was not qualified to participate in these activities. It was because of Lin Zhiming's guidance that she was able to appear in these activities.
Song Siqing, who has established a firm foothold in the socialite circle, will definitely bring Lin Zhiming a steady stream of information about the upper echelons of Shanghai City in the future. Mastering this information will allow Lin Zhiming to grasp the dynamics of the business world faster and gain more opportunities.
Benefit.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhiming suddenly received a call from her sister Lin Mengjie.
"Brother, we are planning to get engaged." Lin Mengjie gave Lin Zhiming a slap in the face as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lin Zhiming originally thought that it would take a year and a half from living together and working together to getting engaged. Unexpectedly, only one month had passed before Lin Mengjie decided to marry Zhou Jiayuan.
Are modern people's marriage and love so careless?
"Have you made a decision?" Lin Zhiming asked. He didn't want to disturb Lin Mengjie because what he should say has been said before. The only thing he needed to know was whether Lin Mengjie had really made a decision or was just in love for the moment.
, that’s why I want to get married.
"It's decided. We have been together for nearly a month. He is very good to me and loves me very much. Our life is very ordinary, not rich or magnificent, but I like this kind of ordinaryness, brother.
I want to marry him now, and he also wants to marry me, so we want to get engaged. You are my only relative, and I want to leave this matter to you to help me handle it with full authority." Lin Mengjie said.
"Since you have said so, then brother must help you... It is not easy for us women to take the initiative in matters such as engagement. How about this, you tell Zhou Jiayuan and ask him to arrange for me to meet with their family in the next two days.
Let’s talk about the engagement,” Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay! Brother, thank you!" Lin Mengjie said and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhiming slowly put down the phone, a little dazed.
This sudden transition from love to engagement really caught Lin Zhiming off guard.
However, this is also a step that must be taken.
Lin Zhiming began to think seriously about what requirements he should make for this engagement.
Engagement is to make a marriage agreement, and to make a marriage agreement, naturally, betrothal gifts, gold objects, etc. are indispensable.
Lin Zhiming feels that parents who ask for sky-high betrothal gifts from men are idiots. No matter whether the man is rich or not, you should not set the betrothal gift too high, because it will inevitably affect the future life of the couple.
However, you can't ask for too little. If you ask for less, you always feel that the woman is not so valued.
When Lin Zhiming got married, he was given a lot of gift, 188,800, but that was because he was from the Lin family, and the Lin family was a local wealthy family, so it was normal to give him 188,000.
Lin Zhiming thought for a long time and called Lin Wei.
"Tell me what our wedding customs are," Lin Zhiming said.
Lin Wei on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Master, do you plan to marry the younger one?"
"Bullshit, am I the kind of person to marry a younger person? Besides, how can I marry a younger person in this day and age?" Lin Zhiming scolded with a smile.
"This... isn't it normal for the head of a family to marry a younger wife? After all, he has to shoulder the important responsibility of continuing the family." Lin Wei said.
"Huh?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt that what Lin Wei said seemed to be the case. He didn't say far away, just his father, who also had two wives, and no one thought that he had two wives.
Nothing was wrong, because he was the head of the Lin family at that time.
And now that he is the head of the Lin family, does that mean that it is reasonable for him to marry two wives?
Lin Zhiming's heart throbbed uncontrollably, and then he shook his head. These days, there are too few people who can accept a little wife, and not many people are willing to be a little wife. It's better not to think too much about it.
"Without talking about these things, you first tell me about our local marriage customs. At that time, I left all those things to the elderly at home, and I don't know much about it myself." Lin Zhiming said.
"Well, okay..." Lin Wei explained in detail the local marriage customs in Strait City on the other end of the phone.
Lin Zhiming listened carefully, memorized it carefully, and then analyzed the contents that were suitable for Lin Mengjie.
The next day, Lin Zhiming received a call from Zhou Jiayuan's mother, Xu Meijiao.
"Hello, it's like this. Jiayuan said he wants to get engaged to Mengjie. As parents, we also hope that Jiayuan can get married as soon as possible before starting a career, so I hope we can meet and talk about the engagement.
Something." Xu Meijiao said on the other end of the phone.
Xu Meijiao's tone this time was still very good, not too domineering.
"Okay." Lin Zhiming had received a call from Lin Mengjie yesterday, so naturally he would not refuse it at this time.
"Then let's do it in the afternoon. How about I find a coffee shop and let's have a good chat," Xu Meijiao said.
"Okay, just tell me the place!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Um!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiming took a deep breath.
This step has finally been reached!
In the afternoon, Lin Zhiming came to a coffee shop as agreed with Xu Meijiao.
The cafe is very quiet and there are no people around.
After waiting for a while, Xu Meijiao and her husband Zhou Xingan came to the coffee shop together.
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late!" Xu Meijiao said with a smile.
"It's okay, I just arrived." Lin Zhiming said.
After Xu Meijiao and Zhou Xingan sat down, they each ordered a cup of coffee.
"Time flies so fast, almost a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Jiayuan and Mengjie have lived outside, and they seem to get along quite well," Xu Meijiao said.
"Well, indeed!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
"Although we don't like outsiders very much, we still have to respect our son's wishes. Since the two of us feel that we can get along and are willing to continue to be together in the future, let's book the marriage first. I am the man and you are the woman.
When you get married, as the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. I hope that the engagement can also follow our customs." Xu Meijiao said.
Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows and said, "We also have our own customs over there. You tell me your requirements first, and then I'll take a look."
"Well, okay, for the engagement, the first thing is of course the betrothal gift, which is also the most important piece!" Xu Meijiao looked at Lin Zhiming and said, "To tell you the truth, it is a blessing for Mengjie to marry into our family. I personally am
You think the betrothal gift should have more symbolic meaning, rather than blindly seeking a high betrothal gift, don’t you think?”
"Well, that's right!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Xu Meijiao asked.
"It depends on your husband, I can't mention it either." Lin Zhiming shrugged and said.
Hearing Lin Zhiming's words, Xu Meijiao's face changed slightly. What she was most afraid of was coming. The woman didn't ask the man to make the request, because she wanted to take the initiative! She changed her previous domineering look from the moment she appeared.
Even Lin Zhiming could be merciful when asking for betrothal gifts, but looking at Lin Zhiming's appearance now, it should be difficult!
When she thought of this, Xu Meijiao's expression suddenly turned sharp.
