At noon the next day, Lan Ruo came to Haidu alone. Zhang Ying and others took the afternoon flight and were not with her.
Zhou Nan went to the airport to pick up Lan Ruo and saw that she was bringing a lot of things, including cosmetics, candies and snacks, as well as several sets of fashions bought for Zhou Nan's mother, and several pairs of brand-name leather shoes and a watch for Zhou Ningyu. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
stand up.
While Lan Ruo was putting things in the trunk of Zhou Nan's car, she saw that he was just standing there in a daze and not helping. She couldn't help but said coquettishly, "Don't stand there like a piece of wood. Come here and help me get my things!"
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly, "Xiao Ruo, I told you not to buy anything, but you didn't listen. You bought these, haha... My mother never uses cosmetics, at most she uses Dabao! And this fashionable style,
She can't wear it to go out at all! My mother is a simple people's teacher, and she pays attention to her image as a teacher, but she is no better than your mother. She is a lady who goes to and from the upper class! These evening dresses and so on... and these brands of leather shoes, I
Dad would never dare to wear it!"
"He is a government official... This watch costs at least more than 10,000 yuan. My dad would not dare to wear it."
Lan Ruo frowned, "What are you afraid of? Who doesn't know that they have a son who can make money... Besides, it's just a watch that costs more than 10,000 yuan. It's not considered high-end, right?"
"Some civil servants in Hong Kong also wear it, and it's not that expensive." Lan Ruo added.
Zhou Nan secretly shook his head and did not continue to argue with Lan Ruo.
After all, Lan Ruo comes from a wealthy family and has been accustomed to "luxury" since she was a child. In her eyes, watches worth more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars and fashions worth several thousand Hong Kong dollars are really ordinary, but in today's Shanghai city, these are definitely luxuries.
Taste.
Not to mention that Zhou Ningyu and his wife are both low-key and simple people. Even if they are "relaxed", they will not be so public. After all, Zhou Ningyu's status is different.
Otherwise, if Zhou Nan wanted to buy a larger house some time ago, Zhou Ningyu would not have firmly opposed it.
After getting in the car, Zhou Nan drove the car very fast. When he was about to enter the government dormitory area, Lan Ruo suddenly nervously grabbed Zhou Nan's hand in gear and said in a low voice, "Zhou Nan, I'm a little nervous in case they don't like me.
…”
Zhou Nan was startled, then smiled softly and said, "Don't be stupid, how is it possible? Don't worry, my mother and father are very easy-going people and easy to get along with!"
…
Zhou Nan was carrying a lot of gifts brought by Lan Ruo, while Lan Ruo followed Zhou Nan cautiously, feeling quite nervous about a young daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
Standing in front of the security door of his home, Zhou Nan turned around and smiled at Lan Ruo, "Xiao Ruo, knock on the door!"
Lan Ruo hesitated for a moment, composed herself, and with a peaceful smile on her face, she followed the instructions and knocked on Zhou's door.
The door opened quickly, and it was Lin Xia who opened the door, which surprised Zhou Nan.
"Godmother, why are you here..." Zhou Nan smiled, "Xiao Ruo, this is my godmother."
Lin Xia glared at Zhou Nan, "Why, you don't welcome me? The new daughter-in-law is here, what if I don't come to see her?"
"Lan Ruo, please come in quickly..." After saying that, Lin Xia turned to look at Lan Ruo with a smile on her face, took a quick look at Lan Ruo, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then let the guests in.
"Hello." Lan Ruo bowed slightly, smiled and nodded to Lin Xia gracefully, and followed Zhou Nan through the door.
The living room of the Zhou family was filled with a strong aroma of food. In order to welcome Lan Ruo's arrival, Yue Ping started preparing lunch from the morning and made many special dishes. Lin Xia also came to help.
Yue Ping, wearing an apron around her waist, had just walked out of the kitchen, while Zhou Ningyu was sitting silently in the living room. Seeing Lan Ruo come in, he slowly stood up with a smile.
When the future daughter-in-law walked in for the first time, Zhou Ningyu naturally couldn't be rude.
Although she had known for a long time that Lan Ruo was the kind of person who would be the most beautiful person in the world, Yue Ping was still a little stunned when she saw her face to face. She could swear that she had never seen such a beautiful and elegant person in her whole life.
Girl, the noble temperament in her body is definitely not pretended, but emanates from her bones.
"Dad, Mom—" Lan Ruo hesitated for a moment, but then blushed and bowed shyly to greet Zhou Ningyu and Yue Ping.
"Please take a seat." Zhou Ningyu smiled and offered his seat.
Yue Ping, with a gentle smile on her face, hurriedly walked over and took Lan Ruo's hand. She asked for help, which soon relieved Lan Ruo's nervousness.
After eating the meal, Lan Ruo felt very warm. Although there were no delicacies, just ordinary dishes, she still tasted it with relish. The quiet and gentle atmosphere of the Zhou family was something she could not feel in the Lan family. She was very
I like this kind of warm family atmosphere and environment.
Lan Ruo's decent behavior and politeness also won the favor of Yue Ping and his wife. Even Lin Xia secretly raised her thumbs up.
None of the adults were dissatisfied. If Lan Ruo had good looks, good family background, good temperament, dignified and elegant appearance, and did not have the domineering aura of a rich and powerful daughter, they were very happy that Zhou Nan could marry Lan Ruo as his wife.
Approved.
Originally, Yue Ping and his wife were mentally prepared. After all, Lan Ruo was the princess of a wealthy family in Hong Kong. In their eyes, this kind of girl was naturally used to being arrogant.
Just now, when Yue Ping and Lin Xia were cooking, they reached a psychological consensus: For the sake of their son, as long as this rich lady doesn't go too far, they should just tolerate it.
As a result, when Lan Ruo arrived, they were very surprised. He was polite, dignified and decent, without any arrogance of a wealthy daughter. Under the "ebb and flow" of emotions, Yue Ping and Lin Xia's impression of Lan Ruo suddenly improved.
pole.
…
After dinner, Lan Ruo was pulled into the room by Lin Xia and Yue Ping to ask questions. Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly at his father. Taking this opportunity, he simply told Zhou Ningyu his next plan.
Although he was a little surprised, Zhou Ningyu still nodded and agreed, supporting Zhou Nan's idea. The reason for Zhou Ningyu's support is actually very simple, because he feels that his son is very good at what he does, and at some times, he is even more mature than his father.
steady.
Since he wants to do this, he must have his plan. As long as his son takes the right path, there is no need to interfere with him. This is Zhou Ningyu's attitude and principle.
"Think about it yourself and don't regret it later. It's better to let Lan Ruo take care of your company, or you can free up your energy to do something good. Who wants to talk to you next week? Which director of the organization department? Zhang or Zhang
Li?" Zhou Ningyu asked.
"It should be Vice Minister Zhang..." Zhou Nan smiled, "The conversation is just a routine procedure. However, if the city police officer comes up, it is still a matter of two people whether the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department can take a fancy to me."
Although Zhou Nan was somewhat confident in his heart, he did not express it verbally.
"There shouldn't be a problem, because not many people are actively signing up... Today's young people are not as hard-working as they used to be. They are all rushing to climb up to the top and to the government agencies. How can any of them take the initiative to go to the grassroots and difficult areas? I
I heard that a section chief of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission also signed up, but he signed up because he felt that he couldn’t afford it, so he wanted to move away!”
Zhou Nan smiled softly, knowing that his father was telling the truth.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Ruo finally got "liberated" from Yue Ping and Lin Xia. When Zhou Nan saw her face blushing, he knew that his two mothers had "entangled" Lan Ruo so much that he must have asked a lot of questions for Lan Ruo.
I couldn't bear the questions, maybe even asked about Lan Ruo's big butt and whether it would be good for her to have children.
If it were just her mother Yue Ping, she would never be like this, because Yue Ping has an elegant and reserved temperament, but Lin Xia is a straightforward and "sharp middle-aged woman", so maybe she would be able to ask such a question.
Lan Ruo finally decided to stay at Zhou's house instead of going out to find a hotel. This was because Yue Ping was enthusiastic about staying and because she didn't want to be separated from Zhou Nan. The two were in the stage of passionate love, so Lan Ruo naturally wanted to try not to leave Zhou Nan.
Yue Ping built a wire bed in Zhou Ningyu's study, kicked Zhou Nan out, and let Lan Ruo stay in Zhou Nan's room.
While Lan Ruo was taking a bath, Yue Ping had already replaced Zhou Nan's sheets and quilts with brand new ones. Remembering that her future daughter-in-law had lived a privileged and delicate life since she was a child, Yue Ping was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep on Zhou Nan's hard bed.
Another thick mattress was added.
Lan Ruo blushed with embarrassment and walked out of the bathroom wearing Zhou Nan's roomy pajamas. This was the first time in her life that she took a bath in a strange environment, and she was a little uncomfortable. But she knew that this would be her husband's house, and she had to get used to it.
.
When she entered Zhou Nan's bedroom, she saw that Yue Ping had replaced the bedding and put on perfume. Lan Ruo's heart felt warm and she was very moved.
She bowed to Yue Ping and said, "Thank you, mom. You don't have to be so polite!"
Yue Ping smiled and took Lan Ruo's hand, "You kid, don't thank us all the time. How can we get along with our own family if you are always so polite in the future?"
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Nan was going to take Lan Ruo to Feiteng headquarters to meet with the company's middle-level and above cadres. This was the first time Lan Ruo appeared in front of employees at Feiteng headquarters. Naturally, she took it very seriously. She hid in Zhou Nan's room and changed into formal clothes, and then wore thin clothes.
Apply powder.
When she came out again, her face was radiant and beautiful. Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swayed for a moment.
Seeing him looking at her in a daze, Lan Ruo shyly muttered, "What are you looking at? It's not like I've never seen him before."
"Let's go, Xiao Ruo, we'll go there right now, they've probably been waiting for a long time." With that said, Zhou Nan took Lan Ruo's hand and walked towards the door.
But after walking a few steps, Lan Ruo broke free from Zhou Nan's hand, took the initiative to walk to Zhou Ningyu and Yue Ping's bedroom, and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Zhou Nan and I are going out."
"Well, you go out and do your work and don't worry about us." Yue Ping smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead and come back early."
Lan Ruo then followed Zhou Nan out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing when the two went out, Yue Ping looked at Zhou Ningyu with a smile and said with satisfaction, "How about it, Lao Zhou, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Ningyu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we are ladies, well-educated and polite. It is really not easy to be like this from a family like this. Nan Nan has a good taste, but I just don't know if this child can endure hardship!"
"Eating hardship? Eating fart hardship..." Yue Ping mocked, "Your son is a rich man now, how can he let his wife endure hardship?"
Zhou Ningyu was startled, then shook his head and laughed. His son Zhou Nan is indeed very rich now, but Zhou Ningyu really doesn’t have a clear idea of how much money Zhou Nan has. But thinking about it, it is enough to support the Zhou family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Already.
"Look at the pile of gifts Lan Ruo bought... I estimate that with our two annual salaries combined, we can't buy these things." Yue Ping sighed, "What a waste, and I can't wear them!"
Zhou Ningyu glanced at Lan Ruo's gifts that Yue Ping had piled on the bed, and couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself: You old woman is such a bumpkin, you know nothing, this watch alone can almost keep up with my salary for a year...
"You can wear it if you want, just wear it at home!" Zhou Ningyu has always been serious about his words. He was in a good mood today and rarely made a harmless joke to his wife. "It's a pity that you have such a waist and can wear this kind of evening dress.
It will make people laugh out loud, so forget it."
Yue Ping said angrily, "Who are you talking about? I just looked through, what's wrong?"
"Okay, you put it on, and I'll get out of the way. You can put it on, but I suggest you take it off quickly before Lan Ruo comes back, so as not to make others laugh."
"Go to hell!" Yue Ping grabbed a pillow and threw it at Zhou Ningyu.
…
In the conference center on the top floor of the Feiteng Group headquarters building, all middle-level managers and above of the group company, members of the senior team, and managers and deputy managers of branches and subsidiaries were all waiting there quietly. The atmosphere was heavy and dull.
Although the meeting has not yet been held, almost all managers know in their hearts that Feiteng Group is going to "change" starting today. The chairman of the board will be Lan Ruo, the eldest lady of Lan Enterprises and the fiancée of the big boss Zhou Nan, although the industry still belongs to the Zhou family.
, there is no change from before, but the temperament of the new chairman, his work style, and whether he is easy to get along with are all unknown to the managers present.
Therefore, most people feel slightly uneasy.
At seven o'clock sharp, Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo walked in side by side. Zhang Ying, Cui Jing and others greeted them with smiles. Zhou Qiang quickly motioned for all the employees present to stand up and applaud.
Lan Ruo's beautiful face and elegant temperament obviously made everyone present look dull for a moment, and then thunderous applause suddenly broke out.
Lan Ruo smiled and hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Ying and other senior executives one by one, and then walked onto the podium accompanied by Zhou Nan and Zhang Ying.
However, Lan Ruo did not sit down, but bowed directly to the audience.
