Chapter 184 Engagement

I believe that all over the world, especially those bustling metropolises, various promotional activities will emerge one after another before and after major festivals. In the West, the most important promotional festival is undoubtedly Christmas, which is the Spring Festival for Westerners.

London is very cold this year and the wind is strong, but there are no signs of snow on the ground.

Huang Chu said that it was because the cleaning workers swept over, and there were too many people on the streets, and the snow melted.

Perhaps because of the daytime, there are not as many people on the street as they imagined, but the shops are decorated with lights and a Christmas atmosphere. Various promotional advertisements and tricks to attract customers are emerging one after another. Everything is exactly the same as the bustling street markets around the Spring Festival or National Day in China.

The difference is that most of the people you see walking on the street are foreigners.

South of Oxford Street, north of Piccadilly Street, and in the middle is London's most developed commercial district. Almost all top brand stores are in this area. To the east are Chinatown and Broadway, then the Thames River, and to the west are Hyde Park.

Ye Qiu and Eliza are not very familiar with London. Instead, Huang Chu has been to study in Cambridge many times and is quite familiar with the surrounding areas, so he took Ye Qiu and the others to wander around in the downtown commercial city.

The purpose of their trip was to buy a set of engagement rings.

Speaking of which, Ye Qiu is still blamed for being busy, but he is almost engaged now, but he finds that he has not bought the ring yet.

So, on Christmas Eve, I had to pull Eliza to London and call out Huang Chu, who had just had a holiday.

Although there are not as many pedestrians on the street as imagined, they are the bustling neighborhoods of international metropolitan cities. The two stunning beauties Huang Chu and Eliza are naturally the focus of everyone's attention, but their clothes and dresses well reflect their different personalities.

Huang Chu is relatively low-key and elegant in light blue jeans and a white loose sweater. The sweater is very long and looks like a miniskirt. The only highlight on her body is the black knitted scarf around her neck, which looks very layered on the white sweater.

She didn't have much jewelry on her body, and she wore a necklace given to him by Ye Qiu on her neck, but it was covered by a scarf, and the bracelet on her wrist was covered by the cuffs of the sweater. It looked simple, but it gave people a very comfortable and layered feeling.

The opposite of Huang Chu is that Eliza's dressing is much more fashionable.

The white knitted hat is paired with a white knitted sweater and vest, and the inside is a pure black slim long-sleeved warm T-shirt, which fully reveals the delicate figure of her upper body. Below is a pair of black denim leggings. The dress is completely black and white, which has a very visual impact effect.

What is even more amazing is that her hair under the white knitted hat was dyed black and brown, and she was sunglasses that covered most of her face. She also had a tall figure and concave figure. She looked like a celebrity on the street. She often attracted the attention of passers-by in the downtown city.

Compared to the eye-catching two beauties, Ye Qiu looks more average, after all, men don’t win by dressing.

A dark blue high V-neck sweater paired with jeans, she has no long hair to blow in the London wind and no sunglasses to cover her eyes. She looks very ordinary, but he doesn't care. He goes on and off the road, one left and one right, and two beauties accompany him. He is shopping and freehand.

Nearby is the old town of London, with narrow streets and many specialty stores of the world's top brands are even opened on the streets. It feels like the wine is not afraid of being deep alleys.

Ye Qiu has a rare opportunity and mood. With the company of beautiful women, he went shopping leisurely. He was very interested in the architectural style of the old town of London, which is about two or three hundred years old. He felt that it was a bit of a taste. Especially when he thought that in this old town, cars representing modernity came and went, flowing endlessly, and the impact of retro and modernity was really unique.

Along the way, I visited several jewelry stores, Cartier, Tiffany and other brands and also looked at several pairings, but I still couldn't find what I was satisfied with, so I simply walked into the street and looked around, and maybe I would gain something.

Girls are basically the same when shopping. As they walk, they unknowingly have something more in their hands.

Eliza bought a few clothes and shoes, half of which were to be given to Huang Chu. Huang Chu also bought clothes and shoes, but basically all of them were Ye Qiu's, but without exception, in the end, these things were all brought to Ye Qiu's hands.

But the most important ring has never been settled.

At this moment, the three of them arrived at the intersection of Sancha Road and saw a jewelry store.

"This pair of rings is good, go in and take a look." Eliza saw the billboard at the door and suggested with a smile.

"George Jason?" Ye Qiu had never heard of this brand, and so did Huang Chu.

"Denmark's brand started with silver jewelry. I remember someone said at that time that if silver can speak, it must be Danish. George Jason is the national treasure of Denmark. Over the years, they are not only good at silver jewelry, but also excellent in jewelry design. The style is clean, elegant, and pure, which is very suitable for Achu."

I didn't see that Eliza also knew this brand that was not very well-known.

George Jason's ring is the most famous fusion series. According to the waiter's introduction, designer Nina Cooper's philosophy is to capture the rhythmic fusion of different elements, and to almost perfectly integrate mysterious and minimalist elements, using the fine craftsmanship of 18K gold, 18K rose gold and 18K white gold to show different combinations.

This is a bit like DIY. The ring can be made into two rings inside and outside, or three rings. Then, gold, rose gold and platinum can be combined differently according to your different requirements, and diamonds can also be inlaid to achieve personalized needs of different color levels and different characteristics.

Ye Qiu and Huang Chu both felt very novel about such rings. They were both young people and had an innate interest in DIY. Therefore, after being introduced by the waiter, they decided to buy this ring. Both of them chose two rings, using platinum and rose gold to form inner and outer rings, and at the same time inlaid with diamonds.

In the end, Ye Qiu spent more than 10,000 euros in total, which cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Ye Qiu didn't feel sorry for money at all, and the most important thing was that Huang Chu liked it.

After booking the ring, I finally went to something. The three of them naturally enjoyed their fun in London. They played happily in London for a few days. After Christmas, the three of them returned to Shanghai together.

The day after they arrived in Shanghai, Ye Qiu's parents went north from Xiamen to Shanghai and met Huang Chu's parents. Because many things had been agreed on by phone before, this time the meeting was more polite.

After a previous stroke, Huang Jinsong's body gradually recovered and improved a lot. Except for the fact that he could not exert force on his left half and occasionally stuttered when speaking, everything else was normal. He could still do sports such as swimming and golf, and he was no different from normal people in normal times.

When he met Ye Qiu's parents this time, he also put down his arrogant attitude and became more kind. He kept praising Ye Qiu's parents and said some polite words. After all, his daughter was going to marry the Ye family, so he must be more polite for his daughter's situation in the future.

It is not difficult to see Huang Jinsong's transformation from this. If it were him in the past, he would probably have to continue to be arrogant and think that he is the best in the world and is willing to marry his daughter to your house. That is your honor. He must be very domineering, but now...

Seeing his transformation, Ye Qiu had to sigh that this person has really matured after experiencing it.

Why aren't you the same?

…………

…………

Although Ye Qiu and Huang Chu both hope to hold the engagement ceremony simpler, Huang Jinsong only had Huang Chu, the only daughter, and it was impossible to make it simpler.

The engagement ceremony was held in the Huang family's villa. All the invitations were from the Huang family's direct relatives, basically all the young and old. After calculation, they were dozens of people. Huang Jinsong also specially invited the chefs from the hotel and hotel to his home and held a small banquet in the garden of his villa.

This is also a bit of a consideration for Ye Qiu. After all, after New Year's Day, he will soon return to Europe. There is not much time, so he will invite all his relatives to come and gather together, so as to save Ye Qiu from visiting house to house in the future and avoid a lot of trouble.

The engagement ceremony is also very simple. Unlike in a hotel, there are still a lot of processes and steps. It is directly that Huang Jinsong and Chu Yun walked out with their daughter's hand and handed their daughter to Ye Qiu's hand. Then, under the arrangement of Huang Chu's aunt, Chen Zhong's mother, the newlyweds exchanged rings with each other, and the marriage was considered a matter of being ordered.

After exchanging the rings, Huang Jinsong and Ye Changming and his wife couldn't help but say a few words to the newcomers.

Ye Qiu's parents were already very satisfied with Huang Chu and had nothing to say. Instead, Huang Jinsong seemed to have thought a lot after what had happened before. After the engagement ceremony was completed and before the banquet began, he specially invited Ye Qiu to take a walk in the garden and left Huang Chu, the future bride, to those lively relatives and friends.

The villa of the Huang family is not big. It is only a few dozen meters away from the garden in front of the house to the back of the house. Ye Qiu deliberately kept a little distance from Huang Jinsong along the way. Even now, he still has some troubles about his father-in-law.

Huang Jinsong walked under a big pine tree, patted the trunk gently, rubbed it gently, as if stroking a precious thing, and then said softly, "This pine tree was planted when Achu was born. At that time, my career was just starting. Later, when we moved here, I transplanted this tree."

"Think about it, it's been more than twenty years!" Huang Jinsong sighed with a little sigh.

I believe that every parent who is a parent will feel this way when he sees his hard-working children to marry.

Ye Qiu stood a little behind him. After hearing this, he smiled slightly, "We will still come back to see you when we have time, and you will come to Europe to see us when we have time."

After hearing this, Huang Jinsong's expression was full of reluctance. He knew very well that marrying his daughter to Ye Qiu was a bit like marrying his daughter to Europe. He was very reluctant. If possible, he hoped that his son-in-law could marry into a marriage and work directly in Huangtian Group, so that he could see his daughter every day.

But sometimes, such things cannot be said.

He is becoming more and more satisfied with Ye Qiu, the son-in-law. In other words, the only thing he is dissatisfied is that he refuses to come back to take over the Huangtian Group. Some of the statements about Ye Qiu heard from Chen Zhong made Huang Jinsong believe that Ye Qiu will be a group leader with a very strategic vision.

For example, he had previously advised Chen Zhong to engage in real estate, but in just two or three years, the performance of Huangtian Group's real estate company has improved by leaps and bounds. In 2001, when he heard that Huangtian Group's logistics was going to enter express delivery, Ye Qiu recommended Chen Zhong to acquire a Shenzhen company called Shunfeng. Although it cost nearly one billion yuan, its performance was very good. On the contrary, Huang Jinsong's proposal to cooperate with a Dutch company turned into a loss-making transaction.

Not long ago, Ye Qiu recommended Chen Zhong to build a shopping website, and Huangtian Group opened a new e-commerce company. The website has been online for more than two months. Although it is still investing money continuously and the competition is under great pressure, Chen Zhong feels that the market prospects are ideal and firmly believes that there is great potential for it if you continue to persevere.

All of this, coupled with Ye Qiu's quiet silence, he used 500 million yuan to help Huang Tian Group overcome the difficulties, all of which made Huang Jinsong look at Ye Qiu with admiration and deeply admire his daughter's vision.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't know what Huang Jinsong was thinking, otherwise he would be ashamed because he did not have any strategic vision. He just relied on his experience of more than ten years than others to give Chen Zhong some suggestions on the development trends in the next few years.

But sometimes, his casual words make Chen Zhong feel enlightened, such as purchasing Shunfeng and establishing a website similar to Baobao. These are all things Ye Qiu said casually, but Chen Zhong firmly believes that, and sometimes even calls the business strategies of some companies to listen to his opinions.

If you really want to talk about management, Ye Qiu really doesn’t understand.

"I should say sorry to you about the past!" Huang Jinsong was silent for a while, and also noticed Ye Qiu's knots about him. He thought he should say something, "You can't always be so unfamiliar with your son-in-law and father-in-law, right?"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he was surprised and panicked, "Don't say sorry, I'm just saying sorry to you."

Strictly speaking, Huang Jinsong is an elder and Ye Qiu is a junior. He wants to pursue someone’s daughter, but he is on the ox with Huang Jinsong. This is indeed a bit of that, so Ye Qiu immediately followed Huang Jinsong to review himself.

After hearing this, Huang Jinsong laughed, turned around, stretched out his hand, trying to pat Ye Qiu on the shoulder and stretched out his relationship, but he was obviously afraid that Ye Qiu would avoid it. When he reached halfway, he paused deliberately and found that Ye Qiu had not avoided, so he put it on Ye Qiu's shoulder, "Don't talk about those past things, we will be a family in the future. I will give Achu to you, and you can treat her well."

"Don't worry, I can!" Ye Qiu nodded and agreed.

"This girl has never suffered much since she was a child. She looks gentle and gentle on the surface, but she is still very stubborn in her bones. If she is really troubled, you should accommodate her more." Huang Jinsong still knows her daughter very well.

No couple will not quarrel? The key is that if they quarrel, one party must give in.

Ye Qiu also understood this principle, and smiled, "I understand."

Huang Jinsong was still very relieved to Ye Qiu and nodded constantly. Obviously, he became more and more satisfied with the son-in-law. "I am also going to retire. You know, I have seen through this disaster, but there is one thing I still have to solve myself, otherwise I will never be willing to do it in my life!"

When he said this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Huang Jinsong's eyes, as if he had returned to the character of the iron-blooded businessman who had known in the past, who was full of man-eating wolf spirit, but it only flashed by.

"When the matter is resolved, I will give up the position of chairman. I will treat Huangtian Group as my daughter's dowry. It depends on who you and Achu will take over. If you don't want to join the company, then just put it on a name and let Chen Zhong take responsibility. I know this person, very loyal and reliable. I have grown up with me since I was a child, and I have a relationship with Achu and can rely on it."

Ye Qiu listened in his ears, but was thinking in his heart, what exactly is Huang Jinsong going to solve?

He quickly guessed that this matter was probably related to Zhang Zijian and his son.

After finishing the conversation with Huang Jinsong, Ye Qiu returned to the banquet and found an opportunity to sit next to Chen Zhong and asked about this.

"My uncle is really angry this time. This time Lao Zhang treats him like this, and he seems to be betrayed by his brothers. Now he must be too tit for a tooth. I heard that he has grasped Lao Zhang's lifeline and is planning, but Lao Zhang has no idea at all. I believe that it will not be the case in Shanghai for a long time, and our Huangtian Group's business will continue to expand."

Ye Qiu frowned when he heard this, "Didn't you say you should streamline it before?"

"Don't worry, I'm starting to deal with these things now, take it slowly. Moreover, many of the Zhang family's businesses are very profitable, and they complement each other with us Huang Tian. It is also beneficial to us when we hold them in our hands." Chen Zhong said with a smile.

Ye Qiu didn't understand these things, but he believed in Chen Zhong, and he felt relieved after hearing what he said.

Ye Qiu asked some things casually during the banquet, and Chen Zhong talked about some of the company's businesses. For example, the shopping website is being suppressed by the interest of the largest shopping website in China, and Ye Qiu needs to give him some tricks. Ye Qiu taught Chen Zhong some tricks of pursuing treasures in his previous life.

In addition, Ye Qiu also mentioned Dubai's real estate. As Dubai is about to relax the restrictions on real estate and allow transactions, Dubai's real estate will also sound the clarion call for sharp rise.

In the past, Ye Qiu just said it casually, but now, Huangtian Group is his wife's dowry, which holds 90% of the shares. Can you not pay attention to it?
