0264 After the engagement [4D](1/4)
"This is Aunt Yang."
"Hello, Auntie!" Wu Ye and Chen Chenqiao took the two red envelopes given by Aunt Yang with expressions of embarrassment and inability to refuse.
This is already the fifth aunt, and they are all very close friends with Mrs. Wu.
Just as I sent my aunt inside, another uncle came.
Wearing a suit, with a belly that resembles that of a seven- or eight-month-old child, he walked in a fashionable manner, walked with heavy steps, and his figure was not graceful, but he looked very handsome when receiving red envelopes.
"Mr. Lan, is this my uncle? He is a talented person. Chenchen is very discerning!" He also patted Wu Ye on the shoulder.
Feeling that the palm slapped on his shoulder didn't have much strength, Wu Ye smiled politely and then looked at President Lan.
"This is Uncle Li, I have been an old friend for many years. I saw you a few years ago." President Lan looked at Wu Ye and then at Ling Chen.
"Hello, Uncle Li!" the two called again obediently.
"Hey, I wish you a happy marriage." Mr. Li took out two red envelopes: "Uncle's little kindness, take it!"
He took the red envelope obediently and politely, said thank you, and then led the person inside.
This is already the eighth boss. President Lan has a wide network of contacts, but many of his friends who are not close enough have not been notified.
The purpose of calling these friends here was for Wu Ye and Chen Chen to get acquainted with these people, so that they might be able to help them if they encounter something in the future.
Many friends lead to many paths, many enemies lead to many dead ends. In the business world, having many friends is a good thing, but there are always things that you cannot do but others can.
This is President Lan's purpose, to introduce some bosses to Qing Chen and gain more connections in the future.
Although connections are often not just about knowing people, but more about what you can bring to others and what they need from you.
There were a lot of guests coming. At first, Wu Ye felt that the engagement was a matter between two families and there was no need to invite so many people. Later, Wu Ye felt that it would be lively if there were more people.
I received a lot of big red envelopes one after another. They were basically five-digit red envelopes. Just today, they might exceed 500,000.
This is just an engagement, not a marriage. Wu Ye's family has not done any happy events in recent years. They have always given out gifts and have not received them themselves. This time, they have received a lot.
He handed the red envelope to Mrs. Wu, and she put it into her bag. There were already a lot of red envelopes inside, but she kept them first, and the rest was still for Wu Ye and the others.
There weren't many people here, but they were quite a few. All in all, there were probably seven or eight tables of people. This was just an engagement, not a wedding.
When they get married, it will probably be more. I don’t know how many red envelopes I can receive then? Wu Ye doesn’t have many friends. Wu Ye hasn’t notified many of them, and will inform them later when he plans to get married.
There were also some people who were out of town, too far away, and many people were still busy working, so they transferred an account on their mobile phones, which was regarded as payment.
Mrs. Wu called her friends over just to have fun and share joy. Her thoughts were very simple. In the past, it was about what it was like for other people's children to get engaged. Now it is her son's turn.
I have been a grandmother for so many years and watched other people's children get engaged and get married. Finally, I am here.
God knows, he has wanted to hold the child so much in these years. Whenever someone shows off the child, Mrs. Wu pretends to be invisible and finds something wrong.
Now, I am about to become the most annoying person I have ever seen.
"How many more people are coming from your side?" President Lan asked her.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Wu replied: "There are not many people left, just the last two or three friends." "It's almost the same here. I didn't dare to inform many people. It would be embarrassing for others to find out later."
Here in Shanghai, President Lan still has many friends and business partners. She has chosen friends with whom she has good relationships, just like Mrs. Wu.
Wu Ye and Chen Chen have been standing for a long time. The ceremony has not started yet. They have to stand at the door to welcome people into the house, and then the next one.
This went on over and over again, and finally everyone was coming. Wu Ye and Chen Chen no longer wanted to stand here as welcome guests.
"I have a few friends coming here, and so is Wu Ye." He heard their conversation in the early hours of the morning and said.
Wu Ye and her friends haven't come yet. At least there are still a table full of people. This is because no one has been invited in the early hours of the morning, otherwise the red envelopes will be even bigger.
I used to hear jokes saying, if you don’t have money, why don’t you have wine? If you don’t have enough money, why don’t you have wine?
Wu Ye has now seen the power of this. If he gets married, relatives and friends on his parents' side can earn millions, Wu Ye estimates.
Wu Ye's own family is estimated to have 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
Lao Wu also has many friends. Some of the people who came today are very close friends with Lao Wu, and there are quite a few friends from his parents on both sides.
That is to say, you have to test whether the relationship is good or not, and invite people in a positive way, rather than casting a wide net.
"Then just wait a little longer. It's still early anyway, so we can start the engagement ceremony later." President Lan said.
Ling Chen was surprised: "Didn't it say there was some auspicious time? Wu Ye said it."
Wu Ye: Hahaha.
Mrs. Wu patted Wu Ye and said, "Don't always lie to Chenchen. Where does the auspicious time come from? It's not marriage, only marriage has auspicious time. You have to wait for a good day to get married."
In fact, the same goes for getting engaged, you have to find a good day.
The simplest way is to follow the trend, also called collision. When everyone is getting married, you can also choose to get married. It must be a good day.
"You are a liar!" Chen Chen knocked on him.
Wu Ye smiled, it wasn't that she couldn't get up in the morning, that was all she could say, otherwise she would have to procrastinate, and her procrastination was getting worse in the early morning.
It may be due to the child dependency certificate. I always feel like I have a child in the early hours of the morning, and I can be lazy about anything. It’s all a chore anyway. I have a child and I am the oldest. If I have a child, I can be unscrupulous.
Bullying others.
Morning battle with baby.
Being proud of one's children.
This was probably the case. Wu Ye comforted himself. There were still nine months left. Just be lazy. After confinement, you would never be lazy again.
He still had to take care of her for nine months. Wu Ye was mentally prepared. Children and wife were important, and he could tolerate his shortcomings and habits. As long as he could eat, sleep, and be healthy, he would be fine.
The next time he went for a checkup, Wu Ye was ready to see if it was one child or several children. Triplets and quadruplets were impossible, but twins were okay.
If they were twins, he could treat Ling Chen as his ancestor.
"Someone is here, please stop making trouble." Wu Ye reminded her.
In the early hours of the morning, he immediately behaved himself, changed his smile like an actor, and then looked at the corridor. The people coming were not uncles and aunts, but acquaintances.
Yan Lingling, who was wearing a skirt, walked over with Ning Qu on her arm. Ning Qu, who was wearing a light-colored suit and leather shoes, looked very handsome. His appearance, which had been sealed by obesity, began to return again.
In fact, in the past, Ning Qu was a very bookish young man, and he felt a bit like a gentleman and a scholar. In fact, at his core, he was thick-skinned, poor in reading, messing around, and trying to be a fool.
"Hello, Auntie, hello, Auntie Lan!" The two of them greeted each other and took Wu Ye to talk to Chen Chen.
Wu Ye's engagement was not as big a shock as Wu Ye's having a child. Everyone was used to it. Wu Ye ran first and everyone chased after him with all their strength.
Ning Qu has completed more than half of his quitting smoking process and is planning to have a baby. Huang Yuan and You Xiaoyu don't know if they have succeeded, but Luo Bai is the slowest.
"You are dressed so festively. I thought it was very late in the day, but I didn't expect it to be here in a blink of an eye." Ning Qu felt a little emotional, looked at Wu Ye and said, "Congratulations."
Wu Ye, who had never found a partner, didn't break up when he found one. He didn't care if they didn't break up. He even walked in front of everyone and got engaged.
Life is really unpredictable.
"Come on, let's get married first so that we don't have to be the bridesmaid and best man." Chen Chen said with a smile.
After getting married, there is no need to be the best man or bridesmaid. Wu Ye and Chen Chen are probably the first to get married. They cannot run away. Wu Ye and Chen Chen are the first to run away.
"You guys have a great idea!" Ning Qu took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Wu Ye. He knew at a glance that it was not filled with cash: "It's a small ornament that will last forever, and we will be together for a hundred years. We will be a good husband in the future!
"
Wu Ye was not polite. He received it in his hand and it was quite heavy.
Ning Qu pulled Yan Yuying: "We'll go in first, you guys get busy first!"
The two of them went to the venue. Wu Ye took the box and looked at it. He opened it and looked at it. It was an ornament of eternal union, but it was made of gold. It also said I wish Wu Ye a happy engagement in the early morning and a long life.
Wu Ye estimated that this should be 999 grams, which felt like two kilograms, worth hundreds of thousands.
After all, stock trading is so simple and unpretentious. Wu Ye thought about what he would give Ning Qu if he got engaged.
Give away 30 million?
"It's a valuable item! This is too expensive, a lot of money." Chen Chen took a look at it.
Wu Ye smiled: "Brothers don't talk about money, they talk about fate!"
"Yuan?"
After giving the things to Mrs. Wu, Wu Ye saw Luo Bai coming, wearing a shabby suit and a slicked back hair, looking like a high-risk manager.
Baicai was wearing a refreshing women's suit, and she looked dashing with her short hair. She cut her hair again, originally planning to keep it, but she couldn't resist Luo Bai's preference for short hair.
"Auntie, Auntie Lan!"
Mrs. Wu and President Lan nodded and watched with smiles as they pulled Wu Ye and Chen Chen aside again.
Mrs. Wu looked at Luo Bai and felt that he was much more stable. He used to be irritable and careless, but now he looks like a grown man.
It’s been so long since I last saw you, and you’ve already changed so much.
He looked at the girl next to Luo Bai. She must be the daughter-in-law that Luo Bai's mother had talked about with her. She was so praised.
She is indeed a pretty girl, and her personality must not be very gentle, otherwise she would not be able to control Xiao Luo.
"Here, I have applied for a card for a maternal and infant store, a card for a children's clothing store, a membership card for a milk powder company, and this one is for bathing. It comes with a symbolic red envelope. I don't know how to give it.
What's the matter? I've been thinking about this for a long time, thinking about buying things for my children."
