While Li Dong was attending Hu Xiaorui's birthday party, Shen Qian was also attending the party.
In a high-end western restaurant in the center of Pingchuan.
Shen Xuehua's movements were elegant, and she always had a faint smile on her face.
It was neither obsequious nor vulgar. Outsiders would only think that she was from a prestigious family.
At the square western dining table, Shen Xuehua and Shen Qian sat on one side, while a man and a woman sat opposite them.
The woman was not young. From her appearance, she seemed to be in her mid-forties.
In fact, the woman was in her early fifties, but she took good care of herself.
Her jet-black hair was perfectly colored, and it was slightly curled.
She had light makeup on her face. There was nothing special about her appearance, but she was not ugly either. Her temperament was even stronger than Shen Xuehua's.
The man sitting next to her was in his early thirties, and he had a crew cut.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he had the same elegant temperament. It was easy to tell that he was a highly educated intellectual.
The man always had a faint smile on his face, and he looked very approachable.
At this moment, Shen Xuehua was talking to the woman opposite her.
Shen Xuehua glanced at the man from time to time, and she had a satisfied smile on her face.
Glancing at her daughter, Shen Xuehua saw that she was lowering her head and drinking her soup. She could not help but force a smile on her face.
Resisting the urge to scold her, Shen Xuehua smiled and said, "Sister Fang, I haven't seen you for a few years. Guanglin has become more handsome."
Cheng Fang pursed her lips and smiled. "Xuehua is still so good at talking. Boys are more mature at this age. If we're talking about changes, Qianqian has changed a lot. I can't even recognize her just now. The last time I saw Qianqian was when Qianqian went abroad, right? "
"Yeah, it's been five or six years in the blink of an eye."
After a while, Shen Xuehua looked at Shi Guanglin and smiled. "Guanglin, I heard that you're going to be transferred to Jiangbei soon?"
Shi Guanglin put down his knife and fork and said gently, "Yes, Aunt Shen. The organization has already talked to me. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be coming to Jiangbei at the end of the year or early next year. "
"Has the position been decided?"
Shi Guanglin nodded and said respectfully, "It's settled, Deputy Mayor Ping Chuan."
Shen Xuehua's face was full of surprise. She exclaimed, "Amazing! If I remember correctly, Guanglin, you're only 32 years old this year. He's only been working for seven or eight years, and he's already the deputy mayor of a provincial capital. Sigh, it's a pity that Old Du has just been transferred to Beijing, otherwise … "
Hearing this, Cheng Fang felt a little regretful.
If Du Anmin was still in Jiangbei, he would have the support of the Provincial Party Committee.
In three to five years, my son will definitely improve.
To be able to reach the Main Hall level before the age of 35, and to be able to do so in a local area, what kind of achievement was that?
He would be in charge of the local government for a year or two, and with some help from his family, he would be transferred back to the capital to take up a vice-ministerial position in the Qingshui Department.
After 40 years of hard work, my son might be able to become a high-ranking official by the age of 50.
At that time, it would be enough to take over the family business, and the future is not impossible.
Jia Wenhao from the Jia family, Huang Qinghe from the Huang family …
These people are all older than my son by more than 10 years. Ten years is a hurdle, and no one will be a match for him in the future. Among my son's generation, there are not many people who are more outstanding than him.
Cheng Fang thought for a while, and then she thought of Du Anmin.
Although Du Anmin did not stay in Jiangbei, it is not a bad idea to enter the capital.
According to the person at home, the next Du Anmin might be in the bureau. Du Anmin is only 60 years old this year, and he still has at least 10 years of political life.
Becoming in-laws with the Du family is not a disgrace to my son.
Du Anmin is from a grassroots family, but the Shen family is a prominent family. Whether it is her background or status, she is qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Shi family.
Thinking of this, Cheng Fang looked at Shen Qian who is sitting opposite her.
After not seeing her for a few years, this girl is more beautiful than before. Beauty is secondary, the main thing is that she looks dignified and elegant.
This is the first choice for a rich family to choose a wife. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful she is, she will only be a vase.
The more Cheng Fang looked at her, the more satisfied she was, but soon Cheng Fang frowned again.
Shen Qian who is sitting opposite her has almost not spoken since the beginning.
She is not good at dealing with people, she is not the first choice for a daughter-in-law in my mind.
Taking advantage of the gap in the conversation, Cheng Fang looked at Shen Qian and smiled, "Qianqian, I heard from your mother that you came back from abroad and chose to work in a company?"
Shen Qian, who has been drinking the soup carelessly, raised her head and said, "Yes, I work in Faraway Group."
"Faraway Group?"
Cheng Fang thought for a while, then said with uncertainty, "Is it the company established by that … that young man named Li Dong?"
Shen Qian nodded and said, "Yes, Far Away."
"Really? I heard that this Faraway Group is doing very well. Although it has only been established for a few years, the scale is already very big. What is Qianqian's main responsibility in the company? "
Without waiting for Shen Qian to answer, Shen Xuehua smiled and said, "Qianqian first worked as an investigator in Far Away, and then as the manager of the public relations department. After the establishment of Faraway Group, Qianqian was mainly responsible for the Internet. Far Away Mall was established by Qianqian … But I have discussed it with An Min. It is not good to work for others. Next, Qianqian will choose to resign from Far Away, start her own business, or follow me to do investments. "
Cheng Fang smiled when she heard it. "Not bad, it is quite good."
Shi Guanglin, who had not communicated with Shen Qian before, was also a little surprised. "Far Away Mall was established by Qianqian?"
He had been working in other places before. Although he had heard of Faraway Group, he only knew Li Dong.
This time, he was going to be transferred to Jiangbei to work, and the organization gave him a long vacation for a period of time.
It just so happened that his mother met Shen Xuehua, who she had not seen for a long time in Beijing. The two families had dealt with each other many times before, and she knew that Shen Xuehua had a daughter.
When she knew that Shen Xuehua's daughter was not married, Cheng Fang suddenly had an idea.
She went back to discuss with her husband for a while, and Du Anmin just arrived in Beijing. Cheng Fang implicitly mentioned it to Shen Xuehua, and the two sides hit it off in an instant.
As a result, there was this blind date. Of course, it was definitely not a blind date in name.
Shi Guanglin was just about to be transferred to Jiangbei. This time, he came to Jiangbei to familiarize himself with the environment.
When he heard that Far Away Mall was established by Shen Qian, Shi Guanglin was indeed a little surprised.
He was different from Cheng Fang. After all, Cheng Fang was older, and her degree of acceptance of the Internet was not enough.
He had previously served as the county magistrate and the secretary of the county committee. He was responsible for attracting investment, and he was very familiar with corporate projects.
Although Far Away Mall had not been established for a long time, it now had a foothold in the Internet industry.
When Far Away announced its financing, major investment institutions gave a valuation of ten billion. The newspapers reported it, and Shi Guanglin also paid attention to it.
He did not expect that this behemoth with a scale of ten billion was actually built by the woman in front of him.
Regardless of how much effort Shen Qian had put in, regardless of whether there was help from outsiders, to be able to create such an achievement at Shen Qian's age was already very impressive.
At first, Shi Guanglin did not have much hope for this blind date. However, now that he had met Shen Qian in person, coupled with Shen Qian's ability, as well as the Du Family and the Shen Family's connections …
Shi Guanglin could not help but be moved. Wasn't this the best candidate for a spouse?
He had gone on a few blind dates before, and his partners were all young ladies from prestigious families. However, Shi Guanglin did not have much interest in them.
He had high standards, and he hoped to find a strong backer who could bring him help, and not a delicate young lady from a prestigious family.
Moreover, he was now a deputy director, and he had to solve the problem of marriage.
If he did not solve it, the next transfer would definitely be considered by the organization. The higher the position, the more things needed to be considered.
Not being married was a sign of immaturity.
What he needed to consider now was the important matter of marriage. The woman in front of him was about the same age, had a good background, good looks, graduated from a top university abroad, and founded a top domestic Internet industry …
The more he thought about it, the more suitable Shi Guanglin felt.
With such a wife, she would be able to work in public. As for being able to work in the kitchen, at their level, these were not important.
When Shi Guanglin's heart was in turmoil, Shen Qian said indifferently, "My mother is exaggerating. I am just an executor of the establishment of Far Away Mall. The real founder is the chairman of Faraway Group, Li Dong. It's all thanks to Li Dong that Distance Mall is able to make it to this day. "
Although Shen Qian said so, the others did not care too much.
In any case, Shen Qian had the ability, and she also met their standards in other aspects. That was enough.
Shen Xuehua and Cheng Fang talked for a while, and the topic was led to the two children.
Of course, the two did not deliberately find an excuse to leave.
After all, Shen Qian and Shi Guanglin were not ordinary children, and they were not young anymore. They should be more open when it was time.
Then, Shi Guanglin spoke a lot more than before.
He had actually known Shen Qian before, but they did not communicate much. They had not seen each other for many years, and they were no different from strangers.
Shen Qian responded indifferently, and Shi Guanglin was not a fool. He gradually noticed it.
But since they had just met, and she was a girl, it was not strange for her to have this kind of reaction.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time to end.
At this time, Shen Xuehua said, "Qianqian, your Aunt Cheng and I still need to talk for a while. Guanglin is new here, and he is not familiar with Pingchuan. Can you show him around?"
Shen Qian frowned slightly, and looked at the time before saying, "Mom, it's too late now …"
She stopped midway, and Shi Guanglin, who was next to her, hurriedly said with a smile, "Aunt Shen, let's not do it today. It's almost ten o 'clock, and girls should sleep early. "
Shen Xuehua heard this, and did not dare to continue to force Shen Qian. It would not be good if her daughter got angry on the spot.
After exchanging some pleasantries with Cheng Fang and her son, Shen Xuehua smiled and said, "Next time then. Next time, I will let Qianqian show you around. I have just given Qianqian's number to your mom. You can call her when you have time. Qianqian is very familiar with Pingchuan. Also, Qianqian often has dealings with the Pingchuan City Government. You will be coming here soon, and if there is anything you want to know, you can ask Qianqian. "
Shi Guanglin smiled and said, "Alright, thank you Aunt Shen, and thank you Qianqian for the trouble."
Shen Qian frowned, and did not say a word.
Shi Guanglin did not notice this, but Cheng Fang, who was next to him, did. She also frowned, but it was not the right time to say anything.
Both of them exchanged pleasantries, and only left after they were out of the restaurant.
…
In the car.
Cheng Fang turned around to look at the Shen family's mother and daughter, who were still talking at the intersection, and asked, "How do you feel?"
Shi Guanglin was not a young man who had just left his home, and he was not shy. He looked at the road and replied, "Not bad, much better than the few you introduced before."
"As long as you are satisfied. Du Anmin has just arrived in Beijing, and he can't tell much yet. But I heard from your dad that the next Secretary Liu will be 70 years old, and he will definitely retire. Du Anmin should not have much of a problem moving up. You can stay in Jiangbei for a few years, and when you return to Beijing, you will have Du Anmin and your dad to help you … "
"Mom, it is too early to think about this now."
"That's true. Overall, Shen Qian is not bad," Cheng Fang said with some dissatisfaction. Cheng Fang said with some dissatisfaction, "But I see that this girl doesn't seem very willing. Is my Shi family not worthy of her Du family?"
Shi Guanglin laughed and said, "Mom, she is a girl after all. We have not seen each other for many years, and it is normal for us to be a little distant. When I come to Pingchuan in the future, we will get to know each other better after a few exchanges. "
"So you have set your mind on her?"
"I can't say whether I have set my mind on her or not, but I feel that she is quite suitable."
"You should look around first. Also, this girl from the Du family is 30 years old this year, and she is not young. She is still single, and she might have some other problems. I will go back and ask around, and I will let you know when I have the results. "
Shi Guanglin did not refuse. People like them were more concerned about their future spouses.
Although Shen Qian looked good on the surface, who knew what she was like in the dark.
Shi Guanglin had heard about the private lives of the young ladies of prestigious families. Although not everyone was like that, he had to be careful.
Otherwise, if he married her, he would become a laughing stock.
…
At the entrance of the restaurant.
After Cheng Fang and Shi Guanglin left, Shen Xuehua's face darkened. She stared at Shen Qian and said, "Qianqian, what did I teach you since you were young? Is this your self-restraint? Have you forgotten your basic manners after spending so much time with Li Dong? "
Shen Qian frowned and said, "Mom, what did I do? You asked me to meet you, and I came. From the beginning to the end, did I say anything bad? "
"Then I want you to accompany Guang Lin for a walk …"
"Mom!" Shen Qian interrupted, "It is getting late, and I don't like to go out with a stranger at night. Is this wrong? Are you saying that I must not return home at night? "
"You!"
Shen Xuehua was so angry that she snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Yes, I admit that Li Dong is doing well, and he can be considered successful now.
But you have to think carefully. He has a girlfriend, and also his age.
How old is he, and how old are you?
But Guang Lin is different. You heard it, he will be transferred to Pingchuan to be the deputy mayor.
He is 32 years old, and he is not any worse than that kid from the Jia Family.
The Cheng Family is also a big family in Beijing, and the Shi Family is even more so!
In Hua Xia, no matter how successful a businessman is, what can he do?
Don't think that Li Dong is rich now, but in ten or twenty years, Li Dong will still be inferior to Guang Lin.
I don't need to teach you this, you should know.
No matter how one looked at it, Guang Lin was stronger than Li Dong.
Of course, I can understand your feelings. After all, you have been with Li Dong for a few years, and it is normal for you to not want to give up.
You can try to get to know Guang Lin. I won't force you. After spending some time with him, you will realize that the world is bigger than you think, and there are more good men.
You and Guang Lin will have the same language, the same background, the same education, and the same level of contact …
Don't be in a hurry to reject him. Even if you can't be husband and wife, you can still be friends. "
Shen Qian said, "I know, mom. I will go back first."
"Where are you going? Stay with me at the hotel tonight. I haven't talked to you in a long time. "
"I am sleepy …"
"The hotel is just nearby, just a few minutes."
Shen Qian nodded and followed Shen Xuehua to the hotel.
