Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 882: Getting Engaged

What is coming will come, and Lu Shaohua's people have already arrived at the ***, so he can only bear whatever happens and cannot escape. However, Lu Shaohua felt something in his heart, knowing that Zeng Jianguo probably asked him to come here for both public and private matters.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's guess was correct. When he stepped into the house, Lu Shaohua was shocked. It was not for anything else, but because all the members of Zeng family had already arrived. It was so lively. It looked like a family meeting of Zeng family.

Don't forget that the descendants of the Zeng family all have their own jobs outside, and they rarely get together once a year. But this time they gathered together, which shows that things are not simple. However, seeing the happy smiles on the faces of every member of the Zeng family, Lu Shaohua knew that today's event was probably not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Without saying much, everyone was present and Zeng Jianguo announced that dinner was ready. The whole family sat around and ate happily. Then Zeng Jianguo called Zeng Aimin, then Lu Shaohua, and went upstairs without looking back.

Lu Shaohua knew that Zeng Jianguo asked Lu Shaohua and Zeng Aimin to follow him upstairs. In addition to the guest rooms, there was also a study room suitable for discussing matters.

Zeng Jianguo led the way into the study and sat down in the main seat first. He waited until Lu Shaohua and Zeng Aimin came in together before Zeng Jianguo signaled Lu Shaohua to close the door. It looked extremely secretive.

This situation made Lu Shaohua a little uncomfortable, but he did not show it. He remained calm. After closing the door, he found a place to sit down and waited for Grandpa Zeng to speak.

Zeng Jianguo didn't say much nonsense. After sitting down, he looked at Lu Shaohua, then at Zeng Aimin. The two nodded gently, forming a tacit understanding, and then Zeng Jianguo spoke. "Xiaohua, Yuling has graduated from university. She wants to go to Hong Kong to intern in your group and learn from the lawyers in your group for a while, and then open her own firm. Our family agrees to this, but..."

Zeng Jianguo stopped talking halfway and did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked at Lu Shaohua. At this moment, Lu Shaohua also raised his head and glanced at Zeng Jianguo. The two looked at each other and then looked away.

At this time, Zeng Jianguo spoke again. "We have no objection to Yuling going to Hong Kong, but our Zeng family is also a well-known family with a certain status in China. Well, let me make it clear that I have no objection to your relationship, and I have no prejudice against you. But Yuling is a girl after all, and it seems a bit unreasonable for her to go with you without a suitable identity."

Identity, these are the two words that Zeng Jianguo emphasized. As for what kind of identity it is, we all know it without having to explain it in too much detail. After all, when a girl follows a boy, the identity she wants is of course a legitimate one.

At this moment, Lu Shaohua finally understood why Zeng Jianguo called him over. He also understood why Zeng Yuling was so shy on the phone. He also understood why Zeng Jianguo gathered all the members of the Zeng family together, and why Zeng Jianguo only called him and Zeng Aimin into the study.

For the marriage of Zeng Yuling and Lu Shaohua, this is the purpose of Zeng Jianguo calling Lu Shaohua here this time.

Lu Shaohua also wanted to give Zeng Yuling an identity. After all, in Lu Shaohua's heart, Zeng Yuling had long been regarded as his wife. Over the years, Lu Shaohua could be said to have been flirting with many women outside. In front of him was An Teng Chiyo, and behind him were Qin Sichen and Huo Xiaoyue. He really had a host of wives and concubines.

Everyone in the Zeng family knew about these things, but they didn't say anything. After all, Lu Shaohua's identity was there. He was the owner of the Phoenix Group and had a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition, he was Deng's godson. In the later period, even powerful countries like the country and the United States dared to compete with him. Their Zeng family was just a family in China. What could they have to compete with Lu Shaohua?

Furthermore, everyone in the Zeng family came from the old society, and they know that in the old society, any capable person would have three wives and four concubines. They can understand Lu Shaohua's behavior, but this does not mean that they can allow Lu Shaohua to do whatever he wants. At the very least, the children of the Zeng family must have a legitimate identity so that the Zeng family can also have some face.

Lu Shaohua also understood the Zeng family's approach. If he put himself in their shoes, he would understand. From another perspective, if Lu Shaohua was a member of the Zeng family, he would also demand a legitimate identity at this time.

Since he understood, Lu Shaohua had nothing to object to, so he nodded and said, "Do you mean that you want Yu Ling and I to get engaged first?"

Lu Shaohua and Zeng Yuling are only 23 years old now, which is not the legal age for marriage. In addition, it seems too early to get married now. Therefore, the only way to give Zeng Yuling a legitimate status is engagement.

Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aimin also meant the same thing, that is, Lu Shaohua and Zeng Yuling should get engaged first, and then let Zeng Yuling go to Hong Kong to live with Lu Shaohua. Now that Lu Shaohua has agreed, Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aimin both breathed a sigh of relief and a slight smile appeared on their faces.

It's true. Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aiminsheng were afraid that Lu Shaohua would not agree and would find an excuse to shirk his responsibility. They couldn't do anything to Lu Shaohua. After all, Lu Shaohua's current status and position were completely unequal to that of their Zeng family. They couldn't ask Lu Shaohua to do anything.

Now that Lu Shaohua brought it up on his own initiative, and judging from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he agreed, how could Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aimin not breathe a sigh of relief.

"I think it's better to set the date for the day after tomorrow." Zeng Jianguo seemed a little anxious and wanted to confirm the engagement date nervously.

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua was a little uncomfortable, but soon, Lu Shaohua regained his composure and nodded to show his agreement. However, Lu Shaohua still raised one point in the end, saying, "Since Yuling and I are going to get engaged, the parents of both parties must be present. I will send someone back to my hometown to pick up my parents now."

Lu Shaohua is getting engaged to Zeng Yuling. It is a big deal for Zeng Yuling, but it is also a big deal for Lu Shaohua. Marriage is a big deal and should not be treated lightly. The presence of both parents is a must.

Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aimin obviously realized this, and Zeng Jianguo immediately nodded and agreed. "Well, let Aimin arrange this matter, and he will call the in-laws, and you will send the special plane."

Zeng Jianguo seemed extremely happy and even called his father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, being happy did not mean that Zeng Jianguo lost his mind. He still knew the etiquette issues, such as letting Zeng Aimin call to inform Lu Jiayao and Chen Li.

Lu Shaohua did not object and nodded to show his agreement. After that, he and Zeng Aimin went their separate ways and arranged their own affairs.

The call didn't take long. Lu Shaohua finished it in just a few minutes. However, Zeng Aimin went downstairs to make a phone call and never came back.

Lu Shaohua knew that Zeng Jianguo probably didn't look for him today just because of his engagement with Zeng Yuling, but there must be something else he hadn't discussed yet. So, after Lu Shaohua finished the call, he returned to his seat and waited for Zeng Jianguo to speak again.

As expected, not long after Lu Shaohua returned to his seat, Zeng Jianguo spoke again. "I have told Chief No. 1 about this engagement, and he expressed his desire to personally host the engagement ceremony. What do you think?"

Long before Lu Shaohua reached the level of ***, Zeng Jianguo had already consulted with the No. 1 leader. Well, in fact, it can be said that Zeng Jianguo acted first and reported later. He told the No. 1 leader about the matter first. Well, this can also be regarded as consulting the No. 1 leader. After all, the Zeng family and Lu Shaohua are not simple people, so it is necessary to talk about it in advance.

The No. 1 leader also proposed to preside over the engagement ceremony personally, which is why Zeng Jianguo said that just now.

But when Lu Shaohua heard this, he thought, it sounds unrealistic for a top leader to personally preside over his engagement ceremony. But when he thought of his own status and position, Lu Shaohua felt relieved.

Yes, things are different now. Lu Shaohua is no longer the Lu Shaohua of the past. Both his identity and status are different. It is acceptable for the No. 1 leader to come forward in person.

However, Zeng Jianguo's next words left Lu Shaohua very confused.

"Leader No. 1 wants to see you." Zeng Jianguo said seriously.

"See me?" Lu Shaohua frowned and asked a question naturally. "What do you want to see me for?"

Lu Shaohua didn't understand why the No. 1 leader wanted to see him. Although he had met the No. 1 leader more than once or twice, Lu Shaohua still didn't understand why the No. 1 leader asked to see him now.

However, looking at Zeng Jianguo's expression, it was clear that the No. 1 leader was looking for him for official business, not just a simple meeting.

"When? Where?" Lu Shaohua asked again.

"Tomorrow morning, in Zhongnanhai." Zeng Jianguo reported the time and place, and then continued, "As for what I want to talk to you about, I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, that is, it's about aircraft carrier technology."

Lu Shaohua sold the aircraft carrier technology to the country for US$500 billion. On the third day after Lu Shaohua and Zeng Aimin reached the deal, which was the second day after the money came in, Lu Shaohua had someone deliver the technology to the country.

Now several days have passed, but the No. 1 leader is still to be found, and it is about the technical issues of the aircraft carrier. This makes Lu Shaohua feel strange.

You know, Lu Shaohua handed over the technology of the entire aircraft carrier to the country. To obtain the technology, the country only needs to organize manpower to conduct research, master the technology, and then it is not difficult to start manufacturing aircraft carriers.

But since the No. 1 leader came to him for this matter, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but think about it.

"What exactly is the problem?"
