Chapter 171 Engagement Discussion

Soon after, the news about the steel mill's upgrading spread quickly throughout the mill. Every worker who heard the news felt proud. After all, once the steel mill was upgraded, it meant that the mill's efficiency would be improved day by day, and the workers' welfare would also increase accordingly.

The entire steel mill was immersed in laughter and joy for the entire day. After get off work, the news even spread to several surrounding streets as the workers returned home.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that your factory is going to be upgraded. Is that true?" After get off work, Zhou Tian went to Union Hospital to pick up Shen Yulin as usual. On the way home, Shen Yulin sat on the back seat of the bicycle and asked in a tender voice, her voice as clear and sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

"Well, Yulin, I didn't expect that even you knew about this?" Zhou Tian said while riding his bicycle with a smile. After taking Shen Yulin home during this period of time, the relationship between the two has progressed rapidly. On weekdays, although they dare not have too many intimate actions, they are getting more and more intimate in their address to each other.

"What about you? Did you get promoted?" Shen Yulin couldn't help but flash a hint of expectation on her pretty face after getting a positive answer. After all, Zhou Tian worked in a steel mill. If the steel mill was upgraded, Zhou Tian would naturally benefit a lot.

"Yes, don't worry, little housekeeper. This time I have been promoted from deputy section chief to director of the technical department! It can be said that I have reached the sky in one step!" Zhou Tian was quite proud when talking about the promotion.

"What, director? Brother Zhou, your promotion is too fast, isn't it? How did you get promoted to director in one step?" After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Shen Yulin's beautiful eyes flashed with shock.

She is not an ordinary girl, especially since her father is in the system and he knows well the difficulty of making the leap from deputy section chief to director.

You have to know that his father has been at the section level for three whole years and has not been promoted to the deputy division level. Now his partner has become a division-level cadre in one step. This makes Shen Yulin's little head a little unbelievable for a moment.

Zhou Tian was only 19 years old, a 19-year-old department-level cadre. This was enough to shock people. At the same time, she felt a sense of pride unconsciously.

Her little head slowly leaned on Zhou Tian's back. Feeling the warmth coming from his body, she couldn't help but blush on her pretty face.

"Of course it's because I, your partner, have made great contributions!" In front of Shen Yulin, Zhou Tian never concealed his abilities. He enjoyed shocking Shen Yulin time and time again, and felt that only in this way could he give Shen Yulin more sense of security.

"Yeah!" Shen Yulin leaned on Zhou Tian's back, responded in a low voice, and said no more.

Soon, Zhou Tian sent Shen Yulin to the gate of the courtyard and watched her figure disappear before returning home.

During the meal, grandma asked about the progress of Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin's relationship.

"Grandson, it's been almost a month since you and Yulin started dating, right?"

"Yes, grandma, it's almost time." Zhou Tian nodded while chewing a steamed bun. Counting it up, more than ten days have passed since the blind date with Shen Yulin, and it's not wrong to say that it's almost a month.

"Then grandson, do you think we should ask someone to come and propose marriage? After all, it's been so long, it's time to prepare!" Grandma's words made Zhou Tian silent for a moment, and after a long time he said: "Grandma, I plan to discuss this with Yulin. After all, it's a bit too early to come and propose marriage now!"

To be honest, if you ask Zhou Tian if he wants to marry Shen Yulin, he would definitely be willing. But now he and Shen Yulin have only been in a relationship for a dozen days. Although he is interested, he doesn't know what Shen Yulin thinks. What if Shen Yulin doesn't want to get engaged so early?

"Okay, then, grandson, you just ask that girl Yulin. If she agrees, grandma will immediately find someone to propose marriage to her!" After hearing what her grandson said, the grandma wanted to object, but after thinking about it, she felt that what her grandson said made sense, so she could only sigh and agree.

"Okay, grandma, I'll ask for Yulin's opinion when I pick her up tomorrow!" Zhou Tian didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Zhou Tian lay on the bed, feeling both nervous and excited, a feeling that even he himself could hardly describe.

Marriage was once such a distant word. In his previous life, he had seen too many things about marriage, especially the common examples of getting married today and getting divorced tomorrow. He did not expect that he, who had never been married in his previous life, would soon usher in his first marriage in this era.

Although it was just an engagement at the moment, in this era, engagement was not far from marriage. For a moment, he even began to look forward to it.

"I wonder if Yulin will be as excited as I am after knowing this!" Thinking of Shen Yulin's stunningly beautiful face, he slowly fell asleep.

What Zhou Tian didn't know was that after Shen Yulin returned home, she was also questioned by her family about the progress of her relationship with Zhou Tian.

At the dining table of the Shen family, a family of three was having a meal. As Shen Yulin's mother, Li Yuling was the first to ask, "Yulin, you have been with the boy from the Zhou family for a while. What do you think of Zhou Tian?"

When Shen Yulin heard her mother's words, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Mom, why are you talking like that? What do you mean by the kid from the Zhou family? He has a name, okay?"

"Oh, you're already protecting him before we even get married. Okay, stop talking about other things with your mom and tell me, what are you and Zhou Tian going to do? It's been so long, hasn't that guy mentioned marriage to you?" Li Yuling was not so easily fooled and did not give her daughter a chance to change the subject.

"Mom, Brother Zhou is not old enough to get married yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Shen Yulin couldn't avoid it, so she had to speak up.

"Hmph, if you can't get married before you reach the age, can you still get engaged? I wonder if that boy doesn't care about you!" Li Yuling sneered. At first, she was quite satisfied with Zhou Tian, ​​but they had been together for such a long time, and she didn't expect Zhou Tian to show no expression. This greatly reduced her impression of Zhou Tian.

"Okay, stop talking. Let my daughter make her own decision. Don't get involved!"

Father Shen on the side suddenly became unhappy. He didn't want his daughter to get married so early, and now his wife kept urging him. Isn't this just a thorn in his heart?

"Mr. Shen, how can you say that? You know, Yulin is your daughter. Do you want to watch your daughter drag on like this?"

After hearing what Shen's father said, Li Yuling became even more furious, as if she had become the bad guy, and she spoke angrily directly to Shen's father.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, stop arguing. I heard from Brother Zhou that their steel mill was upgraded today, and he was promoted directly from deputy section chief to director level!"

Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, Shen Yulin's beautiful eyes turned and she quickly spoke.

"What, right?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, both Shen's father and Li Yuling stopped and stared at their daughter.

"Yulin, are you telling the truth?" Father Shen asked in disbelief.

You know, he works within the system, and although he is just a small section-level cadre, he is more aware of the difficulty of getting promoted within the system.

Just like him, he has worked in the government for three years and is still a section-level official. Maybe his education is one reason, but more of it is his ability. But now, his future son-in-law is only 19 years old and is about to become a director-level official. This is simply unbelievable.
