Chapter 1021: Chapter 990: The Complicated Proposal

After lunch, Huo Yingjie returned to his work unit.

Old Master Huo and Old Man Qi, on the other hand, went back to the Huo Family Old Mansion.

The two hadn’t seen each other for many years and now had endless topics to discuss. They insisted on not letting Old Man Qi leave until the evening, reminiscing about the past and discussing the present.

Old Master Huo even contacted all his old comrades in Yanjing for a gathering at home, living quite contentedly these days!

Huo Yingjie could also rest assured. He had come up with some new things which, after being reviewed by the higher-ups, would be sent over to Xiangjiang for Qian Zhigao to apply for patents.

He planned to make a handsome profit, with the money in the Swiss Bank growing more and more plentiful.

In the evening, Huo Yingjie came home and discussed the day’s events with He Tiantian.

"That’s good, at least we don’t have to do good deeds while being scared anymore," He Tiantian laughed, "Ever since we talked about doing something for the old soldiers, my grandfather and Grandpa Qi have been delighted. It’s quite nice to make the old folks content."

Since they had thought of those lovable people and had the ability to help, they would do so without hesitation.

"Yes," Huo Yingjie said, "money can’t be earned entirely, but what’s spent can be earned back."

"I think so too," He Tiantian laughed, "By the way, Brother Dajun told me that he has started promoting Sanfeng Bridge nationwide, and the business is growing bigger."

"Brother Dajun only thinks about opening stores, but has he thought about opening a factory?" Huo Yingjie asked, "After all, the freshly made items in the stores can’t be preserved for a long time. If it’s for travel, or for gifting to friends and relatives far away, it won’t work. But with vacuum packaging, this problem could be perfectly solved."

Hearing this, He Tiantian nodded vigorously; "Yes, that’s also a very good direction for development. I’ll mention it to Brother Dajun next time I see him and suggest him to pay attention to it as well."

"This is a project with great development prospects, and you must put a lot of effort into it," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, confident that once the Sanfeng Bridge brand is established, the future market will be even broader.

"Mm, got it," He Tiantian affirmed, feeling grateful inside that Huo Yingjie had shown another path of development for Sanfeng Bridge.

"Grandma, Grandpa, my mother wants to visit you. Could you tell me when you’re available so I can arrange it?" Tang Qian said timidly. Although the elders from Qi Zhengmin’s side had agreed to their relationship, in his view, the marriage was still far from being settled without the parents meeting each other.

Third Grandma Qi smiled. Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang had already met her previously, and they had briefly touched upon the topic last time. The conversation was very pleasant, and the impression was positive.

"Hehe, is the young man in a hurry?" Old Man Qi chuckled, joking from the side.

Tang Qian nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Qi, I am anxious. I’m about to turn thirty. Those my age already have children who can run errands. Moreover, it’s rare to meet a woman who touches my heart and with whom I want to spend a lifetime, and that makes me even more anxious."

Old Man Qi chuckled and looked at the decision-maker beside him.

During their time at Jinxiu Villa, Big Brother Tang and Sister-in-law Tang had warmly hosted him, repeatedly asking him to speak well of them. They were very sincere and he trusted their character as well.

However, Qi Zhengmin was not his biological granddaughter after all, and there were some decisions he couldn’t make.

Besides, the one at home didn’t want him to make rash decisions about this matter.

At that time, Old Man Qi hinted that he wanted to quickly welcome a daughter-in-law and hold his grandchild, and that they would need to start with Qi Zhengmin’s grandmother.

But it seemed as if Third Grandma Qi was doing it on purpose; she went out every day, making it hard for the Tang family to pay a visit.

By the end of October, under his parents’ urging, Tang Qian came over to test the waters.

Tang Qian was a bit nervous, fearing that grandma would say, "Wait a little longer," yet again.

Qi Zhengmin was in the kitchen, feeling somewhat anxious, constantly poking her head out to look outside.

"Enough, come help me pick the vegetables," He Tiantian said. "Grandma isn’t a monster, she won’t eat Tang Qian. You’re not even married yet and already thinking about sticking your elbows out!"

"Sister Tiantian, stop with your sarcastic remarks," Qi Zhengmin retorted with a wrinkled nose. "You’re so fond of your brother-in-law, you might even be worse than me."

"Haha, nonsense," He Tiantian firmly denied she was also sticking her elbows out. "By the way, those promises Tang Qian mentioned, have you put them down in writing yet?"

Qi Zhengmin covered her mouth and chuckled, "The premarital agreement has been signed. Grandma looked it over last night and was very pleased; she probably won’t give Tang Qian a hard time today."

"If you knew she won’t give a hard time, why worry so much?" He Tiantian countered. "I mean, what exactly did you guys include in the agreement?"

"Actually, I’m a very kind person and I didn’t want to make it too harsh, so I modified some clauses. If the couple parts due to irreconcilable differences, their joint assets go to their common children. If there are no children, then the woman gets seventy percent and the man thirty percent. If there’s infidelity, the guilty party leaves with nothing," explained Qi Zhengmin. "How’s that for fair?"

He Tiantian thought for a moment and nodded her head, "Fair, it also gives face to Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang, and they can’t use this against you in the future."

"Yes, that was our starting point when grandma and I discussed it," Qi Zhengmin nodded. "I’m not getting any younger, and I really like Tang Qian too. I want to try a marriage with him."

"As long as you like him," He Tiantian smiled. "You’re an adult, you know what you’re doing, and Tang Qian has temporarily gained everyone’s approval. You two manage your life well."

"I will, and if I run into confusing times, I will ask for your advice," Qi Zhengmin said. Every time she saw He Tiantian, she was envious of the continuing sweetness in He Tiantian’s marriage with Huo Yingjie, just like they were newlyweds.

"Sure thing, as long as it’s in Yanjing, come to me if you need anything," He Tiantian agreed. The two were good sisters, and she sincerely hoped Qi Zhengmin would do well.

Meanwhile, Third Grandma Qi thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright, come over when you have the time."

Tang Qian was overjoyed to receive Third Grandma Qi’s affirmative response.

He skipped lunch and went straight home to prepare for the visit with his parents and the matchmaker to propose marriage the next day.

After he got home, Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang were very happy upon hearing the other side agreed for them to propose marriage. The items they had prepared in advance were finally going to be of use.

Early the next morning, accompanied by the two grand matchmakers, Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo, Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang, along with Tang Qian’s two older brothers, sisters-in-law, and elder sister and her husband, all went over to visit.

A procession of more than a dozen people.

They did so to show the highest regard for Qi Zhengmin.

Seeing this turnout, Third Grandma Qi was quite pleased. After careful consideration and under everyone’s watchful eyes, she finally agreed to her granddaughter Qi Zhengmin’s marriage to Tang
