Chapter 424 Marriage Transaction
Since Chen Bailu was going to see her mother, the carriage stopped outside the hospital. Zhao Guanhou bought a few pastries and fruits, and walked to the ward to visit her. Because he had given enough money, Mrs. Chen had now been in the senior ward. There was a nurse to take care of her throughout the process, and Lu didn't know where she ran. Chen Baiou was overjoyed when she saw her brother come back safely, but she was a little surprised when she saw that her sister came with Zhao Guanhou.
Mrs. Chen drove all her children outside and called Zhao Guanhou to the front. She had met her two times before when she was discussing marriage, but she was not unfamiliar with it. A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on the middle-aged woman's face, and she thought about the words.
"Master, I know my family is sorry for you. Xiaonan is ignorant, don't blame her... When she grows up, she will figure it out. I am older and have experienced a lot of things. The truth is that I understand. There is no free lunch in the world, but Xiaonan is very energetic and does not want to be young, nor does she want to force her... We all remember the benefits you have to do to us, just ask you to be a large number of adults, give up your little girl..."
In the corridor, the two brothers asked their sister anxiously whether Zhao Guanhou had asked for some conditions before agreeing to help. Especially when Chen Bailu heard that Zhao Guanhou had disagreement and directly pulled out a gun to kill someone, Chen Baiou shook his head and said:
"You must never marry him! Such a person is too savage and wants to kill people at any time. Marrying him is like jumping into the fire pit. No matter what, you can't sacrifice yourself, little sister."
"Yes, absolutely not."
Zhao Guanhou came out of the ward and waved goodbye. Chen Lenghe sent the person to the door and turned back to the hospital. He first looked at his mother's bed, chatted with her for a while, and suddenly said:
"Mom, the doctor said that your disease is mainly caused by worry. If you feel comfortable, your body will be better. Believe me, your health will be better soon and our family will be better."
"I know that my little girl has the ability to make her mother live a good life. But you can't work too hard, you should always take care of yourself. Didn't you go to work yesterday? Isn't you okay if you don't go to work today?"
Chen Lenghe smiled and said, "It's okay, the boss and I have already discussed it. I don't have to work first. But I will be very busy as soon as I go to work. At that time, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you. You should take good care of yourself first. I'll go to Zhao's mansion to thank them for their favor."
"Zhao Mansion?...You can't go there. After all, he had a engagement with you, and it's not convenient for you to go there. There are few good people and many bad people. If you suffer a loss, what can you do? Just ask your elder brother and second brother to go there for thanks. Otherwise, after I get better, I will visit you in person."
"Mom, look at what you said, I'm going to visit Mrs. Su, the wife of Lord Zhao. It's okay. She takes care of me like a sister. I promise nothing is wrong, don't worry."
She waved her hand and jumped away from the ward, showing a very relaxed look. She took out the handkerchief from her bag and wiped it hard on her face. Everything should be over. People at home can't live such a life anymore, and they should do something for them.
It was evening when he arrived at Zhao's house. Zhao Guanhou was lying on the ground, Aici was riding on his father's back, his feet swung excitedly, shouting, "Dad, climb quickly, climb quickly." Jingci and Xiaoci clapped and laughed, and the family was very lively. Seeing Chen Lenghe coming, Ajiu hurriedly said, "Young master, Miss, Ajiu is your horse for you, come and ride me, and put the master down quickly."
Jingci ran over, grabbed Chen Lenghe's trouser legs and shouted: "Hello new mother. New mother, why don't you live at home? The new mother Dai is not as good as you. Jingci still likes you, the new mother."
"Go away, go away, don't make trouble." Zhao Guanhou wiped the sweat from his forehead while driving his son away, and smiled at Chen Lenghe. "I'm sorry, the child has always been so confused. You are here to find Han Zhi, I'll let someone take you to the back."
"No, I'm here to find the adults. I'll visit Mrs. Su later."
When the two arrived at the reception room, Chen Lenghe found that her laptop was still throwing it there, obviously no one had touched it. Zhao Guanhou also found that she was looking there and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I really don't have time, you know, I'm very busy. When I take the time to talk, I will definitely read Ms. Chen's plan sooner or later. I believe that it must be a very outstanding plan and will definitely be of great help to restore the Songjiang market."
"It's too late." Chen Lenghe said these three words without any end, and then her two beautiful big eyes stared at Zhao Guanhou. Strictly speaking, this was the first time she had observed this man so closely and focused on her. In the past, she was either afraid or shy, and in short, she did not dare to look at this man carefully.
Today, when Zhao Guanhou pulled out his gun to kill someone in the hotel, Chen Lenghe felt for the first time that his ideal hero should be like this. He could be a high wall in front of him, sheltering from wind and rain, and he could protect himself no matter what danger he encountered. But he did not tie himself in a cage and raise him like a canary. Instead, he could live freely, take risks, and accompany him to overcome all obstacles and experience the storm.
It was then that she had to carefully observe the man's idea. She also admitted that the governor was indeed very young and handsome. It was completely different from the old men who were half-in-law in his impression. He was full of vitality and very foreign, and even more open than some international students. If he wasn't a young man, this man would be considered a good match for most women.
But... she thought of Su Hanzhi, and the little hairs, and the ten princesses and the jade that Su Hanzhi mentioned to her...
She took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, I'm here today. First, I'm expressing my gratitude to you, and second, I want to discuss a few questions with you. Can it take up some of your time?"
Zhao Guanhou took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's about an hour left. I'm going to meet Boss Dai. In this hour, time is yours."
"Okay, what I want to talk about is the issue in Songjiang market." Chen Lenghe showed his sophistication and calmness that was not consistent with his age.
"Mr. Zhao, I believe you must know that Zhaohe cannot be compared with Zhengyuan, whether in terms of scale or business conditions. If you forcefully restore the operation of this money house, you are actually doing half the effort. If you invest Zhengyuan with the same resources, I guarantee that the income will be more than twice as high as the investment Zhaohe. I think... we may become a cooperative relationship. If you pay money, I will help you operate. It won't take long to stabilize the market in Songjiang and in the future, your investment will be rewarded."
Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Miss Chen, I believe you have this determination and may also have this ability. However, Boss Dai may not be able to do it, but sincerity is enough. I have to consider many factors when doing business. Moreover, for me, Songjiang's rescue of the market is not simply a business, but a secret matter related to me. This secret can only be shared between relatives, not with outsiders. I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Chen Lenghe was not discouraged, but nodded, "I understand what you mean. If this is the case, I will say that I can do what Diane can do." Her face turned slightly red. After a while of silence, she finally had the courage to say firmly: "I brought my luggage today. As long as you promised my conditions, I will live with you tonight and will not go back."
Transaction? Zhao Guanhou was stunned. In order not to marry him, this girl almost killed someone after a lot of trouble. Relatively speaking, Diane performed much more than her, basically living in Zhao's house in a resignation attitude. She didn't even hold the ceremony, so she came in willingly, waiting for herself to walk into her room and turn her from a girl to a woman.
It is said that such a woman is not easy to surrender, and she has not put such pressure on her to surrender now. Which one is this? Zhao Guanhou was silent for a moment.
"Miss Chen, do you like to joke very much? I don't know why you are joking like this. I just want to say that if the purpose of your conversation with me is this, then the conversation between us will end. My wife and concubine may not be as beautiful as you, but I will not regard this kind of thing as a transaction, and I don't want to force you anything. Sister Hanzhi has given you freedom. You should cherish this freedom that is hard-won. In Songjiang, there are not many men as easy to talk to as I am. You must be careful and don't always joke like this in the future, otherwise you will be trapped in sooner or later."
Chen Lenghe shook her head, her expression was very serious, "I didn't mean to be joking, I was telling the truth. I was not formally leaving the court, I did not refund your betrothal gift, and naturally I am still in your hands. Nominally, I am still your concubine, so isn't it normal to live in your home?"
Her body leaned forward slightly, "Believe me, Anne is not suitable for you. She is a girl who keeps everything in her heart. Even if she doesn't want to, she won't say it out loud, and will only bear it silently. If you combine with her, she will die of depression in a few years. This is definitely not what you want to see, right? Then why, you can't guard against her? Give her the opportunity to be happy, and I will complete the agreement."
"Oh, have you changed your mind?"
"No. I don't want to lie to you. From beginning to end, I have never changed my mind. I don't want a man I don't love to be my husband. But now I'm just using another idea to replace the idea I used to think. Compared to my personal gains and losses of love, I am willing to look at a bigger place. Songjiang, even China, is on the brink of danger. Once the financial system goes bankrupt, millions of people will lose their source of life, countless families are broken, and thousands of people die of hunger and disease. If I sacrifice myself alone, I can save so many people and save the entire economic lifeline of China. I am willing to make sacrifices."
Zhao Guanhou laughed twice and shook his head, "Cute idealist. Miss Chen, your sentiment touched me very much, but I still want to say, "What do you think is your business, just don't contact me. I have never thought about how you have to force you. I am not interested in your plan. I have decided who I have to help with, and I have nothing to do with you. So you don't have to cut your flesh and feed the eagle. Keep your flesh yourself, I won't force you. Okay, I think our conversation can end."
"Wait a minute!" Chen Lenghe hit a nail, but was not discouraged. "Does your child like me? He loves me and they all like to call me a new mother. And Mrs. Su also likes me very much. These are my advantages. You should make a comparison. Zhengyuan has advantages over Zhaohe, and I also have advantages over Annie. I once thought that everyone becomes partners, not a relationship with husband and wife. I use my brain to serve you, but you refuse. Well, I can use your rules now, right? I am your concubine, and be a husband and wife with you...a husband and wife."
Her face turned red again, and the implication was that she could slaughter her. But then she mustered up the courage to say, "After we become husband and wife, you should read my plan, and then we can talk about cooperation and how to save the market. I believe that you are a good person, and you are willing to save more citizens. Let's work together and try to make everyone live. Keep the essence of national industry and don't completely break the lifeline of China's economy."
Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "Miss Chen, you are a very good speaker, but unfortunately, I am not a qualified listener. Look at the time, it's getting late, you should go home, and I want to see Mr. Dai. He has always been talkative. I guess the conversation will not end before 11 o'clock. You don't need to wait anymore. It's not safe to go home too late."
As he expected, when the negotiations with Dai Jiabao ended, it was already half past 11:00 in the evening. He was planning to go to Yuqing's room to sleep today. But when he walked into the room, he saw Chen Lenghe holding his chin with one hand and napping in front of the dressing table. He heard him come in, and then he stood up and said, "Is the talk finished? Do I need to make you a cup of coffee?"
"There is no need for coffee. I just want to ask you, what's going on? What about Yuqing?"
"Mrs. Su called the Ten Princess to accompany her. I left the time tonight... for me." Chen Lenghe's face turned red again, but when she thought of her purpose, she still took the courage to sit by the bed.
Zhao Guanhou also noticed that Chen Lenghe must have taken a shower and her hair was a little wet. When she was close to her, she could smell a fragrance. There were wine and a few snacks on the small table in the room, which were prepared for the two of them to eat and drink at night. A pair of dragon and phoenix pillows were specially placed on the pillow. It seemed that Chen Lenghe had decided to stay tonight.
Zhao Guanhou looked at her a few times, "You should know that I am not a gentleman, and I can't do anything like being in a bad mood. If you have to stay, I can't guarantee not to offend you."
"This is not an offense. Haven't we already held a wedding? You are just fulfilling your husband's power, and when I came, I was already awakened."
Chen Lenghe lowered her head, but her attitude was still firm. "I also have my conditions. First, I will become your wife and fulfill my wife's obligations. However, I will only be your wife in Songjiang and will not go to Shandong to share you with your wives and concubines."
This is the so-called big-headed approach. Among the women of the Zhao family, Jason has similar relationships, but she is a foreigner and wants to count them separately. Among the Chinese, this is the first one. She said again: "Second, I hope you will bail my father. He is old and is not suitable for staying in the arresting room for too long. Third, I need you to redeem the Chen family's villa. I want to give my family a stable and superior life."
