Chapter 24: Meeting the Parents
Lu Changzheng learned about Li Jie and Geng Geng from some sources. He called Li Jie a few days ago and wanted to meet them in the near future. Li Jie had already planned to formally introduce Geng Geng to his family, intending to put forward his own ideas at the right time.
Hearing the door open, Li Jie knew that Geng Geng was back, so he stopped the work and walked out of the study.
"I'm back. Have you had fun with Beta today?"
Geng Geng, who was changing shoes, replied casually: "I haven't met Beta for a long time and I've had a lot of fun. Recently, a boy seemed to be pursuing Beta. She was a little worried about whether to accept other people's pursuits. Beta has not come out of the previous relationship, and this time Beta is a little hesitant."
"Oh? Then how did you tell Beta?"
"I suggest she try it first. There is a saying that the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new relationship, hehe!"
"By the way, I have something to discuss with you." Li Jie said hesitantly.
"What's the matter? It depends on your desire to say something, and we have something to say." Geng Geng looked at Li Jie suspiciously, because Li Jie rarely showed this expression, and Li Jie always handled things neatly.
"Then I said it, Lao Lu wants to meet us, what do you think?" Li Jie said with a tough bullet. After saying it, he felt relieved. Some things will not be that difficult after taking the first step.
"Ah? Want to... meet?" Geng Geng stammered, feeling a little suddenly that she didn't know if Lu Xinghe's family could accept her, and she was a little nervous.
"If you feel embarrassed, forget it, let's talk about it next time!" Li Jie looked at Geng Geng's somewhat hesitant expression and then spoke.
"No...no, you decide! I can do it."
After seeing Geng Geng agree, Li Jie slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Then the two discussed meeting Lao Lu during the winter vacation. Geng Geng was obviously concerned about this meeting. In the following time, he asked Li Jie what he needed to prepare, Lao Lu's specific preferences and planned to bring some gifts. Geng Geng currently takes some work in his spare time and has some income. Although it is not high, it is no problem to buy some inexpensive gifts.
This time, Li Jie's third novel did not follow the route of serialization, but was directly published. After Li Jie finished the finale, he handed it over to Liang Yuan for publication. Once the novel was released, it set off a rush to buy. The 1 million copies that had been prepared to be printed were sold out in just a few weeks! After receiving feedback from major bookstores and websites, they began to print urgently. This time, thanks to the rapid development of the Internet, the new book also opened an online sales channel. However, given the network environment in 2009, the online sales volume was not large.
It has been 6 years since he came to this world. Li Jie recalled what he did in this world. After college, Li Jie relied on the foresight to suggest future investment development directions to Lao Lu. After the millennium, the Internet wave came uncontrollably. Lao Lu's main business was still mainly processing and manufacturing and liquor. Although it was one of the best in the industry, subsequent profit growth inevitably declined. In addition to sufficient cash flow, Li Jie suggested to Lao Lu to invest in some emerging companies.
Three years passed by. Some companies that Li Jie previously suggested to invest in were bankrupt because the founders became arrogant after taking the investment, and some were diligent in their development but had insufficient foundation and limited development. More of them were low-key development. Although they were currently unknown, investors were unrestrained and optimistic about the development prospects of these companies.
Two of them have expanded rapidly within three years, and their market value has grown rapidly like a balloon, which is vaguely leading the industry. One of them is Qiandu, which started out with a search engine. The founder has rich industry experience, keen market gaze and its own strong technical barriers. It has been out of control since 2007. It has been listed now, and Lao Lu has made a lot of money because of following investment.
Another company, Bai Lang, who started out as a portal and then turned to developing social media software, is in a good situation now. Old Lu has also strengthened Li Jie's confidence in the family business as soon as possible because of Li Jie's keen sense of business. Before talking about meeting Geng Geng this time, he had already investigated the relationship between the two of them in detail. At the same time, he also initially recognized Geng Geng after investigation, and was just familiar with him when he met.
In the blink of an eye, the winter vacation has arrived. Li Jie and Geng Geng have packed their luggage and are ready to return home. As time approaches, Geng Geng has become increasingly nervous recently. He is always worried about what to do if the bad impression causes Li Jie's family to refuse to accept it. He is a little worried about gains and losses.
Seeing her in this situation, Li Jie said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Lao Lu's proposal to meet with us this time means that he has recognized you. If he doesn't recognize you as his daughter-in-law, he will not propose to meet. Please relax."
"Who...who is your wife? Humph! Don't be too narcissistic."
"Hey, you heard the point wrong. The point is that the old road recognizes you and you will meet you. And if you are not my wife, who is my wife?" Li Jie couldn't help but think that he was really confused and couldn't hear the point.
"Oh! Is that right? Then I'll feel relieved."
Then, while going back, Geng Geng let go of his worries, and the two arrived in Ha City with laughter and laughter.
The next day, the two arrived at the reserved hotel room early and waited for a meeting later.
Lu Changzheng walked to the door and heard the topic of discussion between the two inside. He stopped walking in without stepping in, and quietly sounded at the door.
"Lu Xinghe, do you think there is any misunderstanding between you and your dad? I think you are sometimes depressed because of your dad? You should communicate more with your dad just like me and my dad. Only by communicating more with your dad will you be smooth."
"No, Lao Lu gets along well with me, don't think too much." Li Jie couldn't help but comfort Geng Geng Geng when he saw Geng Geng Geng re-reported the old story. He would not share the deepest secret in his heart with anyone, and no one would believe it even if he said it. After all, such a system task is incredible, even if he said it, others would think it was crazy and might even suspect that there was something wrong with his spirit.
"Since you don't want to say, I won't force you, but I will take on anything happening with you." Seeing that Li Jie didn't want to say too much, Geng Geng told Li Jie firmly about his feelings.
Hearing Geng Geng's answer, Li Jie couldn't help but feel warm. He was not so afraid of what would happen in the future. No matter what the final result was after the system task was completed, he had enough. All the experiences he had at the moment were unimaginable before. He thanked the system for giving him this novel experience, and no matter what the result was, there were no regrets.
When Lu Changzheng heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but have a better impression of Geng Geng. Then he pushed open the door and stepped into the private room. The atmosphere at the dining table later was harmonious. Lu Changzheng was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law who Li Jie was looking for and ended the meeting with a happy mood.
After Lu Changzheng left, Genggeng felt relieved of his praise when he saw Lu Changzheng. Li Jie was also very satisfied with this meeting. He planned to propose after graduation. Although he didn't know how long he could stay in this world, he just wanted to leave no regrets.
