I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 152 Engagement!
Zheng Xingjian's words made everyone laugh, and Zheng Wentong took the opportunity to joke, "I'm not good at drinking, so it's okay to fall asleep. How about we skip the step of drinking and start falling asleep directly?"

Li Huayan shook his head, "I kind of understand why you and Xiao Lu see each other right. The two of you are together and have a good time every day. Wen Tong is serious in front of outsiders, but funny in front of familiar people."

"Xiao Lu is also a lively child, and only Wen Tong doesn't think she is noisy." Li Huayan was very pleased.

"Okay, Mom, you think I'm noisy, it's too much, I'm a quiet and beautiful girl at home." Bai Xiaolu acted like a baby to his mother.

Li Huayan complained, "Except for beauty, everything else is tainted."

While everyone was chatting, the waiter began to serve dishes, such as Coprinus comatus with roasted pepper and hoof flower, chanterelle meatball stewed with ginger handle melon, 5J ham steamed with fresh chicken fir, porcini mushroom braised in Jiangnan oil.

Zheng Wentong ordered a yellow croaker fish maw soup for everyone, with abalone braised pork, spicy cabbage fat beef pot, matsutake stewed bamboo fungus.For the main course, I chose fried rice with black truffle and beef pine protein, and for dessert, I ordered my girlfriend's favorite wine glutinous rice balls.

"Uncle and auntie, this restaurant's specialty is actually seafood. It's best to eat crabs around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Their chicken oil Huadiao Sanmen crab tastes good." Zheng Wentong introduced.

Bai Xiaolu smiled at her boyfriend, "Every time we talk about food, I can see it. The nanny you hired, only Miss Wan will not lose her job."

Papa Bai summed it up, "This is called a fresh trick, you can eat it all over the world, you know how to cook, and you can mix it up anywhere. And I heard from Xiaolu that your cooking aunt, Miss Wan, is still learning and improving, and now you are burning us. The Longcheng cuisine here is similar to Xiaolu's mother's cooking skills, which is very good."

Li Huayan exposed her husband, "That's not what your darling girl said. She clearly said that Sister Wan's cooking skills are much better than that of my mother. I don't even think about it. I have worked hard to cook for her for 20 years, but the result is not enough. She was bought by Miss Wan within a year, this little heartless."

"Mom, I just told you that I ate well and slept well for a year in Puhai, and it wasn't hard work. I didn't say that Wanjie's food was better than mom's." Bai Xiaolu argued.

Papa Bai looked at his daughter, "You young people are all busy with your careers now, and your competitive pressure is greater than that of our generation."

"After graduating from school, your mother and I will be assigned jobs, and then wait for the unit welfare to allocate housing. We will work in the unit for 20 years."

"Your generation can't do it. Many college graduates only spend 5000 to [-] yuan a month just after graduation. In a first-tier city like Puhai, the monthly rent is [-] to [-] yuan, and it is difficult to support yourself. Generally speaking, university A child who doesn't gnaw at the old after graduation is already considered excellent, nothing else to boast, our Xiaolu is definitely a sensible and filial child." Bai's father praised his daughter.

Zheng Wentong's mother, Zhou Yuling, thinks so. "Indeed, our Wentong family has a cousin named Lin Miao. Xiaolu has never met her. She just graduated from university and earns 3500 yuan a month. She has to rely on her brother to help her from time to time."

"This society is too intolerant of young people. A young man who has a stable job, has normal entertainment after get off work, does not gamble, does not take drugs, and does not go whoring, is considered a good youth in any country. But because of the high housing prices, he gave up buying a house. , the experts will say that you lie flat and are not self-motivated."

"These experts don't even think about it. When they were 20 years old, how much was the house price? Let him graduate now. When he breaks up with his girlfriend because he can't afford a house, he will still have to scold the street."

"Of course, the man's parents and the woman's parents have different ideas. If I were a daughter, I also hope that she can marry well. But whether it is good or not is not determined by family conditions. People of our generation have very simple ideas when they get married. It mainly depends on two people. Whether you get along well or not, you can rely on your character, such as your in-laws."

"My elder sister is a matchmaker. She opened an account on Weiyin, and she matches our local boys and girls. Xiaolu seems to have followed her Weiyin account."

"Yes, yes, when they went on a blind date, the opening remarks were 'introduced by my aunt', which is funny, I watch every issue." Bai Xiaolu thinks this kind of rural blind date video is very real, much more interesting than the "If You Are the One" up.

"It can't be done now. To be a matchmaker, you have to first ask whether the family has no house or car, and the parents-in-law have no income. As for whether the two get along, whether the character is reliable or not is secondary."

"As a result, they got married in a hurry, and the two didn't know each other very well. After marriage, they were prone to conflicts. Now that young people can't bear to be wronged, they get divorced every now and then, treating marriage like a joke." Zhou Yuling didn't like this either.

Li Huayan answered, "Mother Wentong is right. Marriage is a very sacred thing. Neither your parents nor your children can spend your life with you. Only your partner will always be with you."

"Xiaolu is still young, and Wen Tong is not yet 26 this year, but Wen Tong is a very mature child. I have nothing to criticize in terms of life and work. I went to Xiaolu School to attend the graduation ceremony last year. Wen Tong's side I offered to ask our parents to meet first."

"You can get married two days later, but you can get engaged first. The entertainment industry is also more complicated. You fall in love today and break up tomorrow. Wen Tong proposed it on his own initiative. As Xiaolu's mother, I was very moved, because he does things very well. It is planned, that is, what time period, what to do, very organized."

"If I rate Wen Tong from the perspective of my girlfriend's mother, I'd like to give him 90 points, and deduct 10 points because he snatched my beloved daughter away from me. Xiaolu always talks about her boyfriend at home. side." Li Huayan spoke highly of Zheng Wentong, the prospective son-in-law.

"I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, you say that, I am ashamed. Because I am a few years older than Xiaolu, I will pamper her a little bit, but she will never be arrogant and very self-control. Before the filming "Ode to Joy", many times the alarm clock didn't ring, she would get up without getting up." Zheng Wentong said.

"Really? She usually sleeps late at home." Li Huayan expressed doubts.

"That's right, after taking a rest at home, I'm sure I'll sleep until I'm out of breath." Bai Xiaolu said proudly.

The parents of Zheng and Bai met each other very happily, and the conversation was very intense. Zheng Xingjian and Bai's father shared a bottle of Moutai, but fortunately, the two of them can drink very well, and they have already started to call each other brothers. Brother, brother is very affectionate .

Bai Xiaolu is concerned about her boyfriend's career, "How much is the real-time box office of 'The Mermaid'?"

"In the first two days of the first and second day, the box office has already exceeded 5 million. After the Spring Festival holiday, 15 billion will definitely not be a problem. According to the current box office estimate, the box office is between 25 billion and 30 billion."

Bai Xiaolu asked her boyfriend, "Will Galloping Pony release movies with a guarantee in the future?"

"Through the successful examples of "Wolf Warrior" and "The Mermaid", other film companies or fund companies will follow suit, and sky-high prices will be guaranteed."

"The size of Galloping Horse was relatively small before, and the company's funds were not sufficient, so it needed to release movies with a minimum guarantee to make profits."

"Now, taking advantage of the sky-high price guarantee, we will make two more films, let others guarantee the high price of the film we produced, and get back the profits of the film in advance. After they fail to guarantee the sky-high price, we will start to release the guarantee." Zheng Wentong said. Come up with your own plan.

"Well, whether you're a co-author, whether you're distributing movies or producing movies, you have to make the most of it. As an investor, you can make a lot of money." Bai Xiaolu felt that her boyfriend's thinking was always half a step ahead of the market. .

The parents of both parties have already talked about the custom of engagement. Zhou Yuling said that when they get married in Tongji County, the man will give the woman a bride price.

"When the eldest of our family got married, we gave the eldest daughter-in-law [-] dowry gifts. Xiao Lu treated everyone equally, and it was also [-]. A bowl of water is flat. Our man has to prepare hardware for Xiao Lu, gold rings, gold bracelets, and gold earrings. , gold necklace, gold anklet."

"Of course, given the financial conditions of Wen Tong and the others, there may not be a shortage of these things. But we should still prepare, because this is also what we as parents want." Zhou Yuling said.

Zheng Wentong disagreed, "Who said that we are short of these things. Gold is now a store of value and is very valuable for collection. Deer, let's go shopping together tomorrow. Your mother-in-law is rich. What kind of bracelets, necklaces, Only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones.”

Li Huayan laughed at Zheng Wentong's words, "We locals in Longcheng don't have the custom of betrothal gifts. If you give a betrothal gift, then we will prepare a dowry for Xiaolu. We originally planned to buy a car for Wentong and the others, but they seem to be the least All that's missing is a car."

"I've thought about it here. In fact, you can put the bride price and dowry together as a down payment to buy a small-sized house in Hangzhou, rent it out, and use the rent to offset part of the mortgage. It can also be regarded as a kind of investment and financial management." Li Huayan thought about it carefully.

Although Zheng Wentong's business is getting bigger and bigger, Li Huayan is still worried. There are many rich people who go bankrupt. If Zheng Wentong's business is not going well, or Xiaolu can't continue to be an actor, Bai Xiaolu and his wife will at least have a place to stay.

Zheng Wentong whispered to his girlfriend next to him, "Tomorrow we will go to the Yinlou to buy gold jewelry. You can choose the style you like, and my mother will definitely buy it for you. Don't choose platinum and diamonds. The older generation thinks that these things do not hold value. , so I’m not too keen on buying it. If you like it, I’ll accompany you to buy it.”

"Don't worry, these things are basically locked in a safe, and there is no suitable place to wear them. Husband, I will buy the engagement diamond ring, and you will buy the wedding diamond ring, okay?" Bai Xiaolu discussed with her boyfriend.

"Okay, our family has always listened to you in small matters, and mine in big matters. You are in charge of such small matters." Zheng Wentong said.

"Then you said last time that there are no small things in life." Bai Xiaolu huffed.

"Really? There are no small things in life, and there are no big things in life. It means that neither of us can be the master of the house. We can only discuss things at home." Zheng Wentong said.
