Reborn Petty Citizen
Chapter 103 - Extra Story - Zhang Ti
The fly-like profit seekers Zhu Junhou who came after the smell have long been experienced in dealing with them. A few business cards to the public easily resolved the approach of these guys without winking. Well, take Zhang Ti and leave quickly.
Ji Sheng had already been supported to stand aside, and since the crowd began to surge towards Zhu Junhou, he silently covered his face and lowered his head.He also wanted to go up and fight the princes fiercely, but the thought circled in his mind several times, but he still couldn't land it.He has too many worries. Zhu Junhou is not the group of sycophants around him who can be manipulated by him. He often shows up in the financial circles in America and even Europe. After talking to Zhu Junhou, he told old Charlie Brin about this matter, and Ji Sheng would have a very difficult time for a long time.
It was precisely because of this that he gritted his teeth and forced the punch back into his stomach.A real man can bend and stretch, and if it is not necessary, he will not force himself to provoke an opponent he cannot defeat.
This made the princes look down on him even more. As a man, he has no blood, and he is eager to deceive Zhang Ti. Just like this, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, what a lie!
But the benefits that should be required are still collected. After getting in the car and isolating all prying eyes from the outside world, Zhu Junhou frowned and began to express his dissatisfaction: "You didn't even tell me that I would run into my ex-boyfriend when I came back to the party. Today I If you don't come, you will be taken advantage of by him in vain. I have heard what he said, you have never been married, are you really thinking about him? "
"Are you full?" Zhang Ti punched him in the chest angrily.
"Tell me!" Zhu Junhou thought of Zhang Ti's hesitation when he faced Ji Sheng just now, and he knew what tricks to use against Zhang Ti, so he yelled, "Why don't you answer directly? I?"
Zhang Ti supported his head with some headaches, but he really had no idea about this kind of nonsense tactic, so he could only comfort him: "I really don't like him at all, he is not in our class, who knows why he appeared in our class?" In the class's party. And people are living a pitiful life now..." She hesitated for a while, wanting to make Zhu Junhou happy, she still told the reason why Kailin and Ji Sheng got married.
Zhu Junhou was silent for a while, then slightly raised his brows and coughed.
"By the way, why didn't I know when you returned to China?" Seeing Zhu Junhou's reaction, Zhang Ti laughed at that time, and after laughing, he remembered the business and asked.
Zhu Junhou held the steering wheel, and the face of the little man who had been messing around just now disappeared without knowing where he was: "There is something wrong, it was decided temporarily, and I didn't find you after I came back. Mom told me that you came to the class reunion. I asked Came right after I left, waited at the door for a while, originally wanted to pick you up when you were leaving, but I didn't expect to run into that bastard Ji Cheng."
"Oh." Zhang Ti nodded, leaned sideways on the back of the chair and turned to look at the window, "No, this is not home, where are you taking me?"
Zhu Junhou smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the light shot out from the slit, hitting Zhang Ti.
"Sit down!"
Zhang Ti fastened his seat belt embarrassingly.
*******
Zhu Junhou's car ran all the way towards the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding people became less and less people. Finally, the car turned up the mountain road and drove for about 10 minutes before slowly stopping.
Seeing Zhang Ti's puzzled eyes, Zhu Junhou didn't explain much, but leaned forward to unbuckle Zhang Ti's seat belt, and said softly, "Get out of the car."
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, the lights were on inside the car, but it was already pitch black outside, and there were no street lights on the top of the mountain. Zhang Ti didn't know why, so he stood there in a daze. Seeing Zhu Junhou got off the car, he opened the car door slowly. .
The sudden darkness surrounded her, and the next second, the strong arms on her waist gave her a sense of security. Zhang Ti slowly closed her eyes, and opened them again after a while.
"Wow!" She subconsciously sighed in surprise.
It was an unexpected view.
On the top of the mountain was a large expanse of green lawn that could not be seen beyond the horizon. With the stars in the sky, the faint light was enough for her to see the surrounding scenery clearly.The sky in Beijing is rarely so clear, dotted with dots of light, large and small, scattered above the head, because Zhang Ti is standing high enough, Zhang Ti almost has the illusion that he can touch the sky with his own hand.Stepping on the soft green grass, the whole unhappiness caused by the class reunion just now was swept away by the wide and beautiful scenery. She subconsciously slowed down her expression, and slowly approached the guardrail not far away.
Seen from this angle, the high-rise buildings of various colors flashing with neon lights are like miniature landscapes. Unlike the quiet mountain top, even if it is so far away from the foot of the mountain, people can smell the bustling taste of the city that never sleeps.
Beijing actually has such a quiet corner.
Zhang Ti has always liked the taste of quietness amidst the hustle and bustle, and he liked this place even more in his heart. After taking a few deep breaths, he raised his head and leaned into Zhu Junhou's arms with a smile: "How do you know there is such a place?"
"Do you like it?" Zhu Junhou didn't answer, but looked down at her with a doting smile.
Zhang Ti nodded sincerely.
"It's good if you like it." Zhu Junhou sighed, "Little Ti, it's been six years since we've officially been together?"
Zhang Ti didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this: "Yeah, it's almost there, isn't it?"
"It's not coming soon." Zhu Junhou shook his head, the twilight was dark, the faint light of the starry sky hit his face, and the shadows that fell made his expression elusive, and his eyes were so deep that Zhang Ti was a little Hold your breath, "Today is, today is the sixth anniversary of our being together. Xiaoti, I confessed my love to you on this day six years ago, and then you promised to be with me. In my opinion, this day is more meaningful than Every holiday counts."
When Zhang Ti was calculating the date embarrassingly, he stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, and kissed her hair.
"I... I didn't forget on purpose..." Zhang Ti explained with some guilt, she is not a romantic person, and her nerves are relatively rough. In comparison, Zhu Junhou is much more delicate than her, and she can tolerate her and take care of her.
Zhu Junhou let go of her, and slowly took two steps back, his eyes never leaving Zhang Ti's.Then he raised his left hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
Zhang Ti was taken aback.
In the next second, starting from the shade bushes around her, the first cluster of lights lit up, and then like a chain effect, the soft lights began to spread rapidly from near to far.
Zhang Ti unconsciously opened his mouth wide and watched this scene, only to realize that the lawn is not completely blank, and at the end, there is a very simple house built.
"This is……"
Zhu Junhou didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he smiled slightly and knelt down on one knee.
He took out a red velvet box in the shape of a love heart from the pocket of his suit. Zhu Junhou opened his hands and held it up in the air, only to realize that there was a brilliant diamond ring inside.In the ring, there is a main diamond that is as big as an ordinary pearl, and the surrounding diamonds are densely distributed along the vine-like ring setting like stars holding the moon. The style that Zhang Ti has never seen before, but it gives people a kind of charm. The indescribable beauty coexists with sophistication and atmosphere.
Zhang Ti covered his mouth and took a step back, and heard Zhu Junhou's hoarse voice light up: "Xiao Ti, we have gone through so many ups and downs together, and you have long been an inseparable part of my life." part. Are you willing to let me use this ring and my heart to bind you and me together for the rest of my life?"
Zhang Ti couldn't hide his panic: "But... I'm not ready yet..."
Zhu Junhou stared at her hurtfully: "What kind of preparation does this need? You don't need to prepare anything, I will prepare everything for you, so that you will not regret the decision you made today for the rest of your life."
Then he stood up, opened the car door, took out a black briefcase from the driver's seat, opened it, took out a thick stack of documents inside, and knelt back again.
"I heard you guys say that this is how Du Xingzhi proposed to your brother. Today I will follow his example. Here are all my personal liquid and fixed assets, and this." He put the car keys on it. , together with the ring box, bowed his head and looked sincere, "I entrust all my things to you, trust me?"
It's messing around again.
To be honest, Zhang Ti felt very helpless about Du Xingzhi’s way of proposing marriage before. In a certain way, Zhang Ti and Zhang Ze are very similar in nature. Object.Zhang Ze was eaten to death by Du Xingzhi, who had figured out his weakness, and now Zhu Junhou also used this method to eat her, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Why do not you get married?
In fact, it's really not because of being hurt by Ji Sheng, it's because the marriages she has witnessed along the way have rarely ended happily.Mother and father died without a problem, Zhang Su and Du Rusong turned against each other, grandpa and grandma got along with more courtesy than affection, and grandpa was thrown around all his life by grandma.With such a life, how could she have hope for marriage?She wasn't sure if she would follow the old path of her relatives after getting married. The rare happiness of Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi couldn't give her much comfort at all.
So rather than getting married, she prefers to live with Zhu Junhou like boyfriend and girlfriend.They have their own worlds and separate spaces for each other, and they retain their privacy but are intimate enough that they don't need to manage each other's family and interpersonal relationships, which is relaxing and enjoyable.
She also knew that the life Zhu Junhou wanted seemed to be different from hers.
Zhang Ti hesitated, because of Zhu Junhou's sincere opening remarks, and also because of their six-year relationship.
She whispered: "Old Zhu, why do you always want to marry me?"
Zhu Junhou raised his head, and his eyes were rarely darkened: "I want to stay with you every step of the way, and I want you to say that I am your husband when you introduce yourself to your friends. I think the whole financial business circle knows Our husband and wife relationship regards us as one, and I want to use your title to mention your family. Xiaoti, husband and wife are different from lovers. Only natural love can make us inseparable from soul to law. Or It can be said that unsecured love makes me feel very uneasy, and I also need a sense of security."
"You know me..."
"It's because I know you so well." Zhu Junhou interrupted her, and looked straight into Zhang Ti's heart with deep eyes from his pupils, "I know your worries and concerns. I can’t comment, but I at least know my own thoughts. I am a responsible person. After marriage, I will only care about you more than when I was in love. I am not lecherous, and I smoke and drink occasionally but guarantee that it will not harm the body. .I will be loyal to our marriage, and I don’t need to make you wary of any women in the outside world. We will not have quarrels about firewood, rice, oil and salt. Compared with ordinary families, we will only be more harmonious. If one day, a little angel descends on us family, then this bond that transmits our affection will only bind us tighter."
Zhang Ti lowered his head and remained silent for a while.
The princes were so anxious that they entrusted the file even higher: "Xiaoti! I entrust everything to you, including my person and my heart. Whether you believe it or not, I can at least assure you that if you After I got married, I broke my promise and hurt you, everything in my hands, and everything in the future, I will let go of everything, and I will not take anything away!"
For people like them, going out of the house is more sincere than making a poisonous oath. Zhang Ti saw that the document book was about to be poked in front of his eyes, so he couldn't avoid it, so he could only sigh.
"I really lost to you." She shook her head helplessly, instead of going to pick up Zhu Junhou's file, she just picked up the ring box at the top, "Take this for me."
Zhu Junhou was stunned for a moment, and then the ecstasy in his eyes could almost illuminate the world. He opened his mouth excitedly, let out a low growl, and got up to give Zhang Ti a firm hug.
Zhang Ti's hands are not beautiful. Although her palms are slightly better than Zhang Ze's when she was doing farm work when she was young, they can never be called the tender catkins of traditional beauties.But that ring looked exceptionally good-looking on her, the metallic ring setting and the slightly dark skin lining the ring were brighter, and the diamonds with complex patterns and squares in the circle had a bit of toughness beyond femininity, just like Zhang Ti The atmosphere matches.
Zhang Ti stared at his fingers, feeling a strange yet familiar feeling in his heart, and was taken aback.
Zhu Junhou couldn't suppress his excitement, hugged Zhang Ti's waist and publicized several times after the proposal was successful, but he was still not happy enough, and started howling towards the sky.
This calm man was unfazed both externally and internally, but at this moment he looked like an out-and-out child.It was difficult for Zhang Ti to find the foxy look on his exaggerated face. After staring at it for a while, he thought it was interesting, and he also laughed foolishly.
A ring exchanged for her emotional freedom. In her original vision, she would definitely feel uneasy, lost, confused and bewildered on this day.But no, when I really faced this scene, those negative emotions were accumulated in the deep, deep corners and could not be found. The only thing she felt was what the princes brought to her with their straightforward love. Firm and sweet.
Zhu Junhou pulled her into the car and started to drive down the mountain very excitedly.
This made Zhang Ti, who originally thought there would be a candlelight show, fireworks and other activities, a little unexpected: "Where are we going?"
Zhu Junhou's eyes were shining brightly: "I knew I would succeed, I have made all the arrangements, our family will have dinner together! Everyone must have been waiting for a long time!"
Zhang Ti glanced at his watch, it was already 09:30, and suddenly he was at a loss: "It's so late, who else is waiting for us?"
Zhu Junhou's snow-white teeth appeared more frequently today than in previous years: "Our father, our two mothers, and Aunt Su. Neither your brother nor Du Xingzhi are in the country. I didn't invite you today." them."
Zhang Ti blinked, fell silent for a moment, and suddenly slapped the window with a terrified palm: "Two mothers? Your mother and father are here?!"
"Our father and our mother." Zhu Junhou corrected Zhang Ti's address without giving up, and smiled, "You don't go to see them, they have to take the initiative to come to see you."
Zhang Ti opened his mouth in astonishment, and seeing that Zhu Junhou didn't seem to be joking, he immediately turned on the lights in the car and began to look in the mirror.
"I'm going! Can't you tell me earlier? What kind of surprise are you doing with this thing? I'll just dress like this..."
"You look good in whatever you wear, don't dress up, give our mother some confidence." After the car got off the mountain road, Zhu Junhou slowed down and leaned over to pinch Zhang Ti's face, even smiling a little wretchedly.
Seeing his excitement, Zhang Ti realized for a moment that he was talking about his worries just now, so he could only scratch his hair frantically to force himself to calm down.
Come on!Anyway, they won't live together in the future, so what if the impression is bad!
As soon as she unpacked it like this, she immediately felt relieved. She looked around and found the file book Zhu Junhou took just now. She opened it and looked at it by the light, killing time by the way.
Zhu Junhou glanced at her, blinked, and began to feel a little nervous in his heart.
Zhang Ti looked at it, and soon realized that something was wrong.
The large accounts in several banks are considered normal, and it is not surprising that there are a bunch of car production and real estate certificates across several continents. At most, Zhang Ti feels that the amount is too large for stock accounts, investment certificates, and futures holding documents. Some, but at most it was just a little beyond common sense, which made her feel that Zhu Junhou was quite able to save money.
But what are these? !
Zhang Ti repeatedly confirmed to the light with a blank face - a thick pile of certificates of shareholding, Citibank, Banco do Brasil, Dubai Securities, Bank of New York, Energy Agency...
"What are these?" These shareholding certificates range from as little as 5.00% to as many as [-] to [-]%. Zhang Ti calculated based on his rough understanding of these groups, and only these shareholding certificates The value of the stock is already worth more than a dozen securities of the era.
Zhu Junhou took a deep breath and pretended to be righteous: "Shares, what else is there?"
Zhang Ti's eyes became wider and wider, and his eyes gradually became full of unkindness: "You know what questions I'm asking you, be honest with me!"
Zhu Junhou opened his mouth, glanced carefully at Zhang Ti's face, and saw that Zhang Ti took out a stack of documents with the name "Times Securities" printed on them with an even more ugly expression.
The entrusted investment intention contract worth [-] million U.S. dollars, when Zhang Ti saw this stack of documents, his head felt as if a bag of paste had been punctured and all leaked out, and he woke up instantly.
"Wei Shenghua..." Zhang Ti stared at the name of the signatory on the contract, and asked slowly, "Who is she to you? Your mother?"
Zhu Junhou coughed, unable to hide his weakness: "She said this is a betrothal gift..."
His mouth was gentle, but his heart was already yelling furiously: He is really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. Why did his parents make such a fuss before? !Now that Zhang Ti finally agreed to his marriage proposal, what should he do if he sees his parents and feels that he is not respected! ?Now there is no proof yet, you can go back on your word at any time without taking legal responsibility! !
Fearing that Zhang Ti would be irritable, Zhu Junhou racked his brains to change the topic, but in the next second, Zhang Ti straightened his back and slapped hard on the platform.
"Oh! I said she looks familiar! The accent is the same!" Zhang Ti's ugly expression turned into excitement, "I was worried that your mother would have a hard time speaking. If it was that old lady, that would be great, I I have a common topic with her, she is interested in everything I love to eat and play!"
"...What?" Zhu Junhou was dull for two seconds, rubbing the steering wheel hesitantly, feeling that he missed the point, "I mean about my mother going to the company before..."
"What's wrong with your mother going to the company? She's pretty good, she didn't mess around, and it would be nice to have a few more guests like this." Zhang Ti said the first half of the sentence lightly, and then slapped the table, "No! You say, What the hell is going on with these certificates of ownership!?"
Zhu Junhou slowed down the speed of the car, and stared at Zhang Ti for three seconds with difficulty concealing his strangeness.
Zhang Ti stared at him inexplicably: "Why? Do you want to get away with it?"
Zhu Junhou sighed, pressed his brows, and felt that it was a wonder that he could imagine such Zhang Ti as a weak woman with a delicate mind and moaning without illness.He sighed helplessly, and explained weakly: "When I was with you, my dad made an ugly fight with me because of some conflicts, and I almost severed the father-son relationship with him, so I never Tell you."
Zhang Ti nodded, thinking of the old gentleman who didn't make much noise and let his wife interact with him the whole time, he could probably imagine how stubborn and silent this person would be in private.
Zhang Ti continued to stare at him.
"My parents went abroad decades ago, and until now, they have always settled in Finland. They are also engaged in the financial industry, and the EUNEX Bank under their name..."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Ti interrupted him, "European Union cooperation?"
Zhu Junhou asked anxiously: "So... can you understand? Later I wanted to confess to you the relationship between me and my parents, so I kept looking for opportunities to persuade you to meet my parents, but you never agreed. There's no other way, so I kept it a secret."
"So you fly here and there all day long to deal with the work your father entrusted to you?"
Zhu Junhou nodded: "Well, they are not young anymore, and now they intend to hand over the group to me to take care of it, so in the future, I may not be able to solve many tasks of Times Securities so thoughtfully."
"It's a mess."
Zhu Junhou asked: "Are you angry?"
Zhang Ti replied: "A little bit."
Zhu Junhou was lost: "I'm sorry."
Zhang Ti frowned tightly: "Then what should I do? You want to take care of your parents' company, but after a while it will be the outbreak period. If you don't help me, where can I find another assistant? If you Tell me, I will be able to train Tracy and the others earlier, it is doing well now, I was caught off guard."
Zhu Junhou was silent again. His emotions today were quite extreme, with white teeth and expressionless faces appearing more often: "You are worried that the peak season will be too busy, so you are angry that I did not notify you in advance? Are you angry that I concealed my identity? , didn't tell you my background?"
"..." Zhang Ti glanced at him slowly, "Why are you so disgusting? When I was dealing with you, did I always talk about P·D? To calculate it this way, my Times Securities plus My mother's P·D plus Ozawa's Du's Shengjian plus Du Xingzhi's Xingzhe Group are not far behind your parents. How much do you want to be the second generation ancestor? I think I am better than you, at least the company I figured it out myself."
Zhu Junhou licked his lips and turned his eyes back to look straight ahead, feeling sad in his heart.
Zhang Ti is usually too independent, and he has forgotten the string of earth-shaking family members behind her who can stomp their feet together.
Zhu Junhou made a phone call on the road, and after learning that a table of people was indeed waiting for the two of them to arrive, he speeded up the car.
This gathering is said to be a banquet, but in fact it is similar to a family reunion. Zhu Junhou’s parents who have never met Zhang’s mother are a little nervous, and Zhang’s mother and Zhang Su who have not met Zhu Junhou’s parents are also a little nervous , After both parties met in private without telling Zhang Ti, the two mothers hit it off immediately, and their relationship immediately became hot.
As relatives, the strength of the two families can really be regarded as a good match.In terms of influence in the industry, OUN Cooperative Bank is naturally superior as an established bank, but in terms of assets alone, Zhang Ti is definitely not bad.In the eyes of the older generation, it is precisely such a subtle gap that is the most appropriate.Moreover, due to the different relationships in the industry, there is no competition of interests between the two parties, and some interesting topics will not hurt each other's glass heart. The deeper the relationship with a little temptation, the charm of each other's personality is better than the external conditions. It has become the biggest element to attract each other.
Zhang's mother's hearty and generous personality is exactly the same as Zhang Ti's. A woman who has been in the business world has a broad and forthright attitude, which is very appetizing to Wei Shenghua, who is also an outspoken woman.
But the in-laws are in-laws after all, although they are harmonious on the surface, there is still some rivalry in the secret.
Both parties are Chinese through and through. Although one party has immigrated early, they have been influenced by traditional culture since they were young. Regarding marriage, they are still deeply influenced by ancient culture.
During the lively chat, they didn’t know who brought up the details of the wedding, so the three mothers started planning all together, from Western-style wedding dress churches to Chinese-style Hanfu decorations, from a Baroque villa in Finland to a courtyard house in Beijing. As he spoke, he talked about the bride price and dowry.
At first, Wei Shenghua thought about giving Zhang Ti the [-] million US dollars to invest as a dowry gift, but after carefully studying the conditions of Zhang Ti's family, he felt that the money was probably a little too small.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Su have already started to plan with a heroic smile: "We can't give too much dowry, anyway, we will double the dowry according to the custom, and don't take the car and house. There are also two sets of pigeon blood queen gemstones, a set of Fu Lu Shou's jade ornaments, and a subsidiary of P·D. If you see a little less, I will add a few more. My son Well, the girl will definitely have to add a little when she gets married, but that is the wish of the younger generation, and it cannot be discussed together with our discussion on the table."
Wei Shenghua squinted his eyes and smiled calmly: "What is double or not? Marrying a daughter-in-law can make her mother's family really bleed? It's okay to let them take away your queen's gems and jade ornaments. As for the subsidiary, That’s true, there is no need to add it. When the time comes to hire, how much should his father and I give, we can discuss it and send it to you. When you go out, you can just take it out symbolically. You raised such a good girl to do it for us Daughter-in-law, and then you pay a bunch of dowry, ouch, it doesn’t make sense. Those old customs are unreasonable! What we should correct should be corrected.”
"That's not good, that's not good. The company still has to give what should be given, and the young couple will keep their own children in the future."
"Then if it's not like this, don't add any more dowry to your dowry, set it so much. When the appointment is made, my father and I will add another [-] million, rounding up one billion?"
twitter, twitter...
Zhang Ti heard the two old ladies trying to hide their excited argument through the door, sighed helplessly and met Zhu Junhou's eyes.
A woman is a woman, that's the truth.
Ji Sheng had already been supported to stand aside, and since the crowd began to surge towards Zhu Junhou, he silently covered his face and lowered his head.He also wanted to go up and fight the princes fiercely, but the thought circled in his mind several times, but he still couldn't land it.He has too many worries. Zhu Junhou is not the group of sycophants around him who can be manipulated by him. He often shows up in the financial circles in America and even Europe. After talking to Zhu Junhou, he told old Charlie Brin about this matter, and Ji Sheng would have a very difficult time for a long time.
It was precisely because of this that he gritted his teeth and forced the punch back into his stomach.A real man can bend and stretch, and if it is not necessary, he will not force himself to provoke an opponent he cannot defeat.
This made the princes look down on him even more. As a man, he has no blood, and he is eager to deceive Zhang Ti. Just like this, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, what a lie!
But the benefits that should be required are still collected. After getting in the car and isolating all prying eyes from the outside world, Zhu Junhou frowned and began to express his dissatisfaction: "You didn't even tell me that I would run into my ex-boyfriend when I came back to the party. Today I If you don't come, you will be taken advantage of by him in vain. I have heard what he said, you have never been married, are you really thinking about him? "
"Are you full?" Zhang Ti punched him in the chest angrily.
"Tell me!" Zhu Junhou thought of Zhang Ti's hesitation when he faced Ji Sheng just now, and he knew what tricks to use against Zhang Ti, so he yelled, "Why don't you answer directly? I?"
Zhang Ti supported his head with some headaches, but he really had no idea about this kind of nonsense tactic, so he could only comfort him: "I really don't like him at all, he is not in our class, who knows why he appeared in our class?" In the class's party. And people are living a pitiful life now..." She hesitated for a while, wanting to make Zhu Junhou happy, she still told the reason why Kailin and Ji Sheng got married.
Zhu Junhou was silent for a while, then slightly raised his brows and coughed.
"By the way, why didn't I know when you returned to China?" Seeing Zhu Junhou's reaction, Zhang Ti laughed at that time, and after laughing, he remembered the business and asked.
Zhu Junhou held the steering wheel, and the face of the little man who had been messing around just now disappeared without knowing where he was: "There is something wrong, it was decided temporarily, and I didn't find you after I came back. Mom told me that you came to the class reunion. I asked Came right after I left, waited at the door for a while, originally wanted to pick you up when you were leaving, but I didn't expect to run into that bastard Ji Cheng."
"Oh." Zhang Ti nodded, leaned sideways on the back of the chair and turned to look at the window, "No, this is not home, where are you taking me?"
Zhu Junhou smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the light shot out from the slit, hitting Zhang Ti.
"Sit down!"
Zhang Ti fastened his seat belt embarrassingly.
*******
Zhu Junhou's car ran all the way towards the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding people became less and less people. Finally, the car turned up the mountain road and drove for about 10 minutes before slowly stopping.
Seeing Zhang Ti's puzzled eyes, Zhu Junhou didn't explain much, but leaned forward to unbuckle Zhang Ti's seat belt, and said softly, "Get out of the car."
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, the lights were on inside the car, but it was already pitch black outside, and there were no street lights on the top of the mountain. Zhang Ti didn't know why, so he stood there in a daze. Seeing Zhu Junhou got off the car, he opened the car door slowly. .

"Do you like it?" Zhu Junhou didn't answer, but looked down at her with a doting smile.
Zhang Ti nodded sincerely.
"It's good if you like it." Zhu Junhou sighed, "Little Ti, it's been six years since we've officially been together?"
Zhang Ti didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this: "Yeah, it's almost there, isn't it?"
"It's not coming soon." Zhu Junhou shook his head, the twilight was dark, the faint light of the starry sky hit his face, and the shadows that fell made his expression elusive, and his eyes were so deep that Zhang Ti was a little Hold your breath, "Today is, today is the sixth anniversary of our being together.

When Zhang Ti was calculating the date embarrassingly, he stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, and kissed her hair.
"I... I didn't forget on purpose..." Zhang Ti explained with some guilt, she is not a romantic person, and her nerves are relatively rough. In comparison, Zhu Junhou is much more delicate than her, and she can tolerate her and take care of her.
Zhu Junhou let go of her, and slowly took two steps back, his eyes never leaving Zhang Ti's.Then he raised his left hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
Zhang Ti was taken aback.
In the next second, starting from the shade bushes around her, the first cluster of lights lit up, and then like a chain effect, the soft lights began to spread rapidly from near to far.
Zhang Ti unconsciously opened his mouth wide and watched this scene, only to realize that the lawn is not completely blank, and at the end, there is a very simple house built.
"This is……"
Zhu Junhou didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he smiled slightly and knelt down on one knee.
He took out a red velvet box in the shape of a love heart from the pocket of his suit. Zhu Junhou opened his hands and held it up in the air, only to realize that there was a brilliant diamond ring inside.In the ring, there is a main diamond that is as big as an ordinary pearl, and the surrounding diamonds are densely distributed along the vine-like ring setting like stars holding the moon. The style that Zhang Ti has never seen before, but it gives people a kind of charm. The indescribable beauty coexists with sophistication and atmosphere.
Zhang Ti covered his mouth and took a step back, and heard Zhu Junhou's hoarse voice light up: "Xiao Ti, we have gone through so many ups and downs together, and you have long been an inseparable part of my life." part. Are you willing to let me use this ring and my heart to bind you and me together for the rest of my life?"
Zhang Ti couldn't hide his panic: "But... I'm not ready yet..."
Zhu Junhou stared at her hurtfully: "What kind of preparation does this need? You don't need to prepare anything, I will prepare everything for you, so that you will not regret the decision you made today for the rest of your life."
Then he stood up, opened the car door, took out a black briefcase from the driver's seat, opened it, took out a thick stack of documents inside, and knelt back again.
"I heard you guys say that this is how Du Xingzhi proposed to your brother. Today I will follow his example. Here are all my personal liquid and fixed assets, and this." He put the car keys on it. , together with the ring box, bowed his head and looked sincere, "I entrust all my things to you, trust me?"
It's messing around again.
To be honest, Zhang Ti felt very helpless about Du Xingzhi’s way of proposing marriage before. In a certain way, Zhang Ti and Zhang Ze are very similar in nature. Object.Zhang Ze was eaten to death by Du Xingzhi, who had figured out his weakness, and now Zhu Junhou also used this method to eat her, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Why do not you get married?
In fact, it's really not because of being hurt by Ji Sheng, it's because the marriages she has witnessed along the way have rarely ended happily.Mother and father died without a problem, Zhang Su and Du Rusong turned against each other, grandpa and grandma got along with more courtesy than affection, and grandpa was thrown around all his life by grandma.With such a life, how could she have hope for marriage?She wasn't sure if she would follow the old path of her relatives after getting married. The rare happiness of Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi couldn't give her much comfort at all.
So rather than getting married, she prefers to live with Zhu Junhou like boyfriend and girlfriend.They have their own worlds and separate spaces for each other, and they retain their privacy but are intimate enough that they don't need to manage each other's family and interpersonal relationships, which is relaxing and enjoyable.
She also knew that the life Zhu Junhou wanted seemed to be different from hers.
Zhang Ti hesitated, because of Zhu Junhou's sincere opening remarks, and also because of their six-year relationship.
She whispered: "Old Zhu, why do you always want to marry me?"
Zhu Junhou raised his head, and his eyes were rarely darkened: "I want to stay with you every step of the way, and I want you to say that I am your husband when you introduce yourself to your friends. I think the whole financial business circle knows Our husband and wife relationship regards us as one, and I want to use your title to mention your family. Xiaoti, husband and wife are different from lovers. Only natural love can make us inseparable from soul to law. Or It can be said that unsecured love makes me feel very uneasy, and I also need a sense of security."
"You know me..."
"It's because I know you so well." Zhu Junhou interrupted her, and looked straight into Zhang Ti's heart with deep eyes from his pupils, "I know your worries and concerns. I can’t comment, but I at least know my own thoughts. I am a responsible person. After marriage, I will only care about you more than when I was in love. I am not lecherous, and I smoke and drink occasionally but guarantee that it will not harm the body. .I will be loyal to our marriage, and I don’t need to make you wary of any women in the outside world. We will not have quarrels about firewood, rice, oil and salt. Compared with ordinary families, we will only be more harmonious. If one day, a little angel descends on us family, then this bond that transmits our affection will only bind us tighter."
Zhang Ti lowered his head and remained silent for a while.
The princes were so anxious that they entrusted the file even higher: "Xiaoti! I entrust everything to you, including my person and my heart. Whether you believe it or not, I can at least assure you that if you After I got married, I broke my promise and hurt you, everything in my hands, and everything in the future, I will let go of everything, and I will not take anything away!"
For people like them, going out of the house is more sincere than making a poisonous oath. Zhang Ti saw that the document book was about to be poked in front of his eyes, so he couldn't avoid it, so he could only sigh.
"I really lost to you." She shook her head helplessly, instead of going to pick up Zhu Junhou's file, she just picked up the ring box at the top, "Take this for me."
Zhu Junhou was stunned for a moment, and then the ecstasy in his eyes could almost illuminate the world. He opened his mouth excitedly, let out a low growl, and got up to give Zhang Ti a firm hug.
Zhang Ti's hands are not beautiful. Although her palms are slightly better than Zhang Ze's when she was doing farm work when she was young, they can never be called the tender catkins of traditional beauties.But that ring looked exceptionally good-looking on her, the metallic ring setting and the slightly dark skin lining the ring were brighter, and the diamonds with complex patterns and squares in the circle had a bit of toughness beyond femininity, just like Zhang Ti The atmosphere matches.
Zhang Ti stared at his fingers, feeling a strange yet familiar feeling in his heart, and was taken aback.
Zhu Junhou couldn't suppress his excitement, hugged Zhang Ti's waist and publicized several times after the proposal was successful, but he was still not happy enough, and started howling towards the sky.
This calm man was unfazed both externally and internally, but at this moment he looked like an out-and-out child.It was difficult for Zhang Ti to find the foxy look on his exaggerated face. After staring at it for a while, he thought it was interesting, and he also laughed foolishly.
A ring exchanged for her emotional freedom. In her original vision, she would definitely feel uneasy, lost, confused and bewildered on this day.But no, when I really faced this scene, those negative emotions were accumulated in the deep, deep corners and could not be found. The only thing she felt was what the princes brought to her with their straightforward love. Firm and sweet.
Zhu Junhou pulled her into the car and started to drive down the mountain very excitedly.
This made Zhang Ti, who originally thought there would be a candlelight show, fireworks and other activities, a little unexpected: "Where are we going?"
Zhu Junhou's eyes were shining brightly: "I knew I would succeed, I have made all the arrangements, our family will have dinner together! Everyone must have been waiting for a long time!"
Zhang Ti glanced at his watch, it was already 09:30, and suddenly he was at a loss: "It's so late, who else is waiting for us?"
Zhu Junhou's snow-white teeth appeared more frequently today than in previous years: "Our father, our two mothers, and Aunt Su. Neither your brother nor Du Xingzhi are in the country. I didn't invite you today." them."
Zhang Ti blinked, fell silent for a moment, and suddenly slapped the window with a terrified palm: "Two mothers? Your mother and father are here?!"
"Our father and our mother." Zhu Junhou corrected Zhang Ti's address without giving up, and smiled, "You don't go to see them, they have to take the initiative to come to see you."
Zhang Ti opened his mouth in astonishment, and seeing that Zhu Junhou didn't seem to be joking, he immediately turned on the lights in the car and began to look in the mirror.
"I'm going! Can't you tell me earlier? What kind of surprise are you doing with this thing? I'll just dress like this..."
"You look good in whatever you wear, don't dress up, give our mother some confidence." After the car got off the mountain road, Zhu Junhou slowed down and leaned over to pinch Zhang Ti's face, even smiling a little wretchedly.
Seeing his excitement, Zhang Ti realized for a moment that he was talking about his worries just now, so he could only scratch his hair frantically to force himself to calm down.
Come on!Anyway, they won't live together in the future, so what if the impression is bad!
As soon as she unpacked it like this, she immediately felt relieved. She looked around and found the file book Zhu Junhou took just now. She opened it and looked at it by the light, killing time by the way.
Zhu Junhou glanced at her, blinked, and began to feel a little nervous in his heart.
Zhang Ti looked at it, and soon realized that something was wrong.
The large accounts in several banks are considered normal, and it is not surprising that there are a bunch of car production and real estate certificates across several continents. At most, Zhang Ti feels that the amount is too large for stock accounts, investment certificates, and futures holding documents. Some, but at most it was just a little beyond common sense, which made her feel that Zhu Junhou was quite able to save money.
But what are these? !
Zhang Ti repeatedly confirmed to the light with a blank face - a thick pile of certificates of shareholding, Citibank, Banco do Brasil, Dubai Securities, Bank of New York, Energy Agency...
"What are these?" These shareholding certificates range from as little as 5.00% to as many as [-] to [-]%. Zhang Ti calculated based on his rough understanding of these groups, and only these shareholding certificates The value of the stock is already worth more than a dozen securities of the era.
Zhu Junhou took a deep breath and pretended to be righteous: "Shares, what else is there?"
Zhang Ti's eyes became wider and wider, and his eyes gradually became full of unkindness: "You know what questions I'm asking you, be honest with me!"
Zhu Junhou opened his mouth, glanced carefully at Zhang Ti's face, and saw that Zhang Ti took out a stack of documents with the name "Times Securities" printed on them with an even more ugly expression.
The entrusted investment intention contract worth [-] million U.S. dollars, when Zhang Ti saw this stack of documents, his head felt as if a bag of paste had been punctured and all leaked out, and he woke up instantly.
"Wei Shenghua..." Zhang Ti stared at the name of the signatory on the contract, and asked slowly, "Who is she to you? Your mother?"
Zhu Junhou coughed, unable to hide his weakness: "She said this is a betrothal gift..."
His mouth was gentle, but his heart was already yelling furiously: He is really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. Why did his parents make such a fuss before? !Now that Zhang Ti finally agreed to his marriage proposal, what should he do if he sees his parents and feels that he is not respected! ?Now there is no proof yet, you can go back on your word at any time without taking legal responsibility! !
Fearing that Zhang Ti would be irritable, Zhu Junhou racked his brains to change the topic, but in the next second, Zhang Ti straightened his back and slapped hard on the platform.
"Oh! I said she looks familiar! The accent is the same!" Zhang Ti's ugly expression turned into excitement, "I was worried that your mother would have a hard time speaking. If it was that old lady, that would be great, I I have a common topic with her, she is interested in everything I love to eat and play!"
"...What?" Zhu Junhou was dull for two seconds, rubbing the steering wheel hesitantly, feeling that he missed the point, "I mean about my mother going to the company before..."
"What's wrong with your mother going to the company? She's pretty good, she didn't mess around, and it would be nice to have a few more guests like this." Zhang Ti said the first half of the sentence lightly, and then slapped the table, "No! You say, What the hell is going on with these certificates of ownership!?"
Zhu Junhou slowed down the speed of the car, and stared at Zhang Ti for three seconds with difficulty concealing his strangeness.
Zhang Ti stared at him inexplicably: "Why? Do you want to get away with it?"
Zhu Junhou sighed, pressed his brows, and felt that it was a wonder that he could imagine such Zhang Ti as a weak woman with a delicate mind and moaning without illness.He sighed helplessly, and explained weakly: "When I was with you, my dad made an ugly fight with me because of some conflicts, and I almost severed the father-son relationship with him, so I never Tell you."
Zhang Ti nodded, thinking of the old gentleman who didn't make much noise and let his wife interact with him the whole time, he could probably imagine how stubborn and silent this person would be in private.
Zhang Ti continued to stare at him.
"My parents went abroad decades ago, and until now, they have always settled in Finland. They are also engaged in the financial industry, and the EUNEX Bank under their name..."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Ti interrupted him, "European Union cooperation?"
Zhu Junhou asked anxiously: "So... can you understand? Later I wanted to confess to you the relationship between me and my parents, so I kept looking for opportunities to persuade you to meet my parents, but you never agreed. There's no other way, so I kept it a secret."
"So you fly here and there all day long to deal with the work your father entrusted to you?"
Zhu Junhou nodded: "Well, they are not young anymore, and now they intend to hand over the group to me to take care of it, so in the future, I may not be able to solve many tasks of Times Securities so thoughtfully."
"It's a mess."
Zhu Junhou asked: "Are you angry?"
Zhang Ti replied: "A little bit."
Zhu Junhou was lost: "I'm sorry."
Zhang Ti frowned tightly: "Then what should I do? You want to take care of your parents' company, but after a while it will be the outbreak period. If you don't help me, where can I find another assistant? If you Tell me, I will be able to train Tracy and the others earlier, it is doing well now, I was caught off guard."
Zhu Junhou was silent again. His emotions today were quite extreme, with white teeth and expressionless faces appearing more often: "You are worried that the peak season will be too busy, so you are angry that I did not notify you in advance? Are you angry that I concealed my identity? , didn't tell you my background?"
"..." Zhang Ti glanced at him slowly, "Why are you so disgusting? When I was dealing with you, did I always talk about P·D? To calculate it this way, my Times Securities plus My mother's P·D plus Ozawa's Du's Shengjian plus Du Xingzhi's Xingzhe Group are not far behind your parents. How much do you want to be the second generation ancestor? I think I am better than you, at least the company I figured it out myself."
Zhu Junhou licked his lips and turned his eyes back to look straight ahead, feeling sad in his heart.
Zhang Ti is usually too independent, and he has forgotten the string of earth-shaking family members behind her who can stomp their feet together.
Zhu Junhou made a phone call on the road, and after learning that a table of people was indeed waiting for the two of them to arrive, he speeded up the car.
This gathering is said to be a banquet, but in fact it is similar to a family reunion. Zhu Junhou’s parents who have never met Zhang’s mother are a little nervous, and Zhang’s mother and Zhang Su who have not met Zhu Junhou’s parents are also a little nervous , After both parties met in private without telling Zhang Ti, the two mothers hit it off immediately, and their relationship immediately became hot.
As relatives, the strength of the two families can really be regarded as a good match.In terms of influence in the industry, OUN Cooperative Bank is naturally superior as an established bank, but in terms of assets alone, Zhang Ti is definitely not bad.In the eyes of the older generation, it is precisely such a subtle gap that is the most appropriate.Moreover, due to the different relationships in the industry, there is no competition of interests between the two parties, and some interesting topics will not hurt each other's glass heart. The deeper the relationship with a little temptation, the charm of each other's personality is better than the external conditions. It has become the biggest element to attract each other.
Zhang's mother's hearty and generous personality is exactly the same as Zhang Ti's. A woman who has been in the business world has a broad and forthright attitude, which is very appetizing to Wei Shenghua, who is also an outspoken woman.
But the in-laws are in-laws after all, although they are harmonious on the surface, there is still some rivalry in the secret.
Both parties are Chinese through and through. Although one party has immigrated early, they have been influenced by traditional culture since they were young. Regarding marriage, they are still deeply influenced by ancient culture.
During the lively chat, they didn’t know who brought up the details of the wedding, so the three mothers started planning all together, from Western-style wedding dress churches to Chinese-style Hanfu decorations, from a Baroque villa in Finland to a courtyard house in Beijing. As he spoke, he talked about the bride price and dowry.
At first, Wei Shenghua thought about giving Zhang Ti the [-] million US dollars to invest as a dowry gift, but after carefully studying the conditions of Zhang Ti's family, he felt that the money was probably a little too small.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Su have already started to plan with a heroic smile: "We can't give too much dowry, anyway, we will double the dowry according to the custom, and don't take the car and house. There are also two sets of pigeon blood queen gemstones, a set of Fu Lu Shou's jade ornaments, and a subsidiary of P·D. If you see a little less, I will add a few more. My son Well, the girl will definitely have to add a little when she gets married, but that is the wish of the younger generation, and it cannot be discussed together with our discussion on the table."
Wei Shenghua squinted his eyes and smiled calmly: "What is double or not? Marrying a daughter-in-law can make her mother's family really bleed? It's okay to let them take away your queen's gems and jade ornaments. As for the subsidiary, That’s true, there is no need to add it. When the time comes to hire, how much should his father and I give, we can discuss it and send it to you. When you go out, you can just take it out symbolically. You raised such a good girl to do it for us Daughter-in-law, and then you pay a bunch of dowry, ouch, it doesn’t make sense. Those old customs are unreasonable! What we should correct should be corrected.”
"That's not good, that's not good. The company still has to give what should be given, and the young couple will keep their own children in the future."
"Then if it's not like this, don't add any more dowry to your dowry, set it so much. When the appointment is made, my father and I will add another [-] million, rounding up one billion?"
twitter, twitter...
Zhang Ti heard the two old ladies trying to hide their excited argument through the door, sighed helplessly and met Zhu Junhou's eyes.
A woman is a woman, that's the truth.
