Rebirth of the Rising Sun

In desperation, Xiao Yuguang and his wife Shao Manqing discussed and decided to adopt a soft policy to deal with their daughter, that is, they, as parents, would go on a hunger strike first to put pressure on their daughter.

When had Xiao Ying ever seen her parents like this? After all, she was also a girl, so she softened her heart for a moment and agreed to date Tian Haoyu first. Next, Tian Haoyu launched a fierce offensive, confessed to Xiao Ying, and bought her countless good things.

By the time Wang Lihua felt that something was wrong with Xiao Ying, it was already too late. Although nothing had happened between Xiao Ying and Tian Haoyu, their future seemed to have been decided. In a fit of anger, Wang Lihua asked Xiao Ying what the reason was. Xiao Ying was honest and said directly that it was all because of the power of Tian Haoyu's family.

Powerful? This word shocked Wang Lihua. He loved Xiao Ying and knew that everything his girlfriend did was for the good of the Xiao family. He shouldn't give up on a girl like this. So he told Xiao Ying that he was actually very powerful and his brother and sister knew some very important officials.

Xiao Ying had known Wang Lihua since she was in the past, and had never heard of this matter, so she naturally didn't believe it. There was no other way, so in order to prove that she was not lying, Wang Lihua said that she would invite this senior official to be her backer, and she wanted to let Tian Haoyu know that he was no worse than anyone else in terms of power.

This morning, Xiao Ying called Wang Lihua and told her that if she didn't invite the senior official over by noon, she might really get engaged to Tian Haoyu. Wang Lihua was so anxious that she went to Feng Sizhe directly without any hesitation, even when she couldn't contact her sister.

Xiao Ying was looking around at the door of the box, hoping to see Wang Lihua invite the big official he mentioned. As long as the Tian family could be suppressed, she would be saved. But looking left and right, she did not see the figure of her lover, but she did see Tian Haoyu walking over with his family.

"Haha, look, Xiao Ying is so sensible. She even knows to greet us at the door. There are not many young girls who are so polite nowadays." Tian Haoyu's mother Bei Jie said with praise after seeing Xiao Ying.

Hearing this compliment, Xiao Ying was stunned at first, then turned her head and said directly, "I'm not waiting for you." After that, she turned and left. At this time, her mother Shao Manqing came over. Hearing this, she quickly explained to Bei Jie, "Haoyu's mother, don't take it to heart.

"Hmph! No family education." Bei Jie suddenly said this harshly, contrary to her usual behavior. In fact, she didn't like Xiao Ying that much. In her opinion, this girl was just a little pretty, nothing else. With her son's conditions, he could find anyone else. Why did he have to choose this second-hand product? Young people nowadays are very open-minded. Xiao Ying and Wang Lihua had been in love for eight years, so something might have happened a long time ago. But unfortunately, her beloved son had decided on Xiao Ying, and she, as a mother, had no choice.

Bei Jie pointed out her daughter, which made Shao Manqing a little embarrassed, but thinking of the power in her hands, she had no choice but to endure it. "Ying'er, why don't you apologize to your Aunt Bei."

"Yes, Mom, what are you talking about? Xiaoying was not like this before." Tian Haoyu also hurriedly stood up to explain for his girlfriend.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, look how affectionate you are calling her. It's still a matter of time whether she will admit it or not." Bei Jie was a little angry at this moment. People said that it takes a mother 20 years to teach her son something, but a girl can make a boy know nothing in just 20 minutes. It's true. Seeing that her beloved son was about to fall into the arms of another girl and even blamed herself for it, she was even more furious.

"Haha, children are bound to do things wrong. As their elders, we just need to understand them, right, Director Bei?" Another man, Tian Shun, Tian Haoyu's father, seemed very open-minded and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"That's right, children still have a lot to learn, and I believe some bad habits will gradually change." When asked about his attitude, Director Bei nodded, indicating that he agreed with Tian Shun's words. In fact, this Director Bei was none other than Bei Guowei, the Director of the Zhuangcheng Education Bureau.

He had offended Feng Sizhe before, because Xiao Yueqing's matter made Mayor Feng very unhappy. He was in great danger that time, but he happened to rely on Wang Guoguang and was saved. That incident happened a long time ago, and gradually his sense of crisis was not so strong. Now, as Bei Jie's brother and Tian Haoyu's uncle, he appeared at the engagement party of both parents this time just to show his face.

Someone smoothed things over, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared a lot. Shao Manqing was a good person, and a smile appeared on his face again. "Everyone, let's go to the box. Everything is ready there. My old Xiao is waiting for you there."

"Let's go, let's go into the box. What's the point of standing in the hall?" Tian Shun laughed and agreed with this idea. Then the group headed towards the box. Tian Haoyu stayed behind and walked with Xiao Ying at the end. As they walked, he said flatteringly, "Xiao Ying, what are you waiting for here?"

"How many times have I told you, please call me Xiao Ying, don't call me by my nickname, our relationship is not that serious yet." Xiao Ying said angrily. In the past, she was only under pressure from her parents to date Tian Haoyu for a while. In her opinion, these were just stopgap measures. When her parents' attitude was not so firm, she would raise objections. In short, she loved Wang Lihua. But what she never expected was that her parents were so urgent that they were going to get engaged in such a short time. Only then did she realize the urgency of the matter, but there was no way. It was no longer her decision at this time. Just last night, her mother threatened her with a hunger strike. She came to Zhuangcheng Hotel because she had no other choice. Of course, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, that is, her prince charming Wang Lihua did not lie to him and really invited a senior official to help him.

He looked towards the door again, and when he was sure that there was still no sign of Wang Lihua, he had no choice but to follow Tian Haoyu into the box.

Seeing Xiao Ying ignoring him, Tian Haoyu had a hint of anger between his eyebrows, but he concealed it very well, at least Xiao Ying, a girl who was not very experienced in the world, didn't see it at all. He took a step back, and after seeing Xiao Ying walk into the box, he went to the front hall and gave the staff in the hall a small red envelope, telling them not to tell anyone who asked if they saw Xiao Ying here.

Tian Haoyu still had some ideas. He knew that there was a person named Wang Lihua who was dating Xiao Ying. That was why he did this to dispel any possible concerns. What if Wang Lihua came and he couldn't find him? His intuition told him that the person Xiao Ying was waiting for was probably Wang Lihua.

After doing all this, Tian Haoyu walked towards the box happily. He believed that under the pressure of his parents and uncle, his engagement with Xiao Ying would go smoothly today.

In the private room, everyone sat down as host and guest, and then Xiao Yuguang ordered the dishes to be served. The following time seemed to be harmonious.

After a few drinks and a brief acquaintance, Bei Jie spoke first. "Xiao Ying's parents, it is a great honor for our Haoyu to value your daughter. You don't know how many people want to be with our Haoyu, but we are not happy. I believe you can see that my son has good looks and status. He is a deputy director-level official before he is 30 years old. I am afraid that many people will envy him."

"Yes, yes, Haoyu is young, handsome and polite. He is indeed a leader among young people." Xiao Yuguang nodded in agreement.

"Haha, Boss Xiao, I heard that your business is not doing well now. What's going on?" Tian Shun was a little unhappy when he saw his wife using her authority to suppress others. Although it was true that the two families could not compare in terms of power, no matter what, today they were talking about engagement. If you just suppress the other party and make them anxious, and they don't agree, then you have no choice. If your son makes a fuss, you will be the one who suffers. For this reason, he changed the topic and enlightened the Xiao family from another angle.

When it comes to business, Xiao Yuguang is always thinking about lawsuits. Recently, his Yuguang sanitary ware has not only no business, but also many products have been returned. It can be said that it is very unsuccessful. "Yes, yes, business is really hard now. The competition among peers is great. Not only do customers push prices very low, but many individual customers are also very picky. Even if you sell one or two products, you really can't make much money."

"Haha, Boss Xiao, this is where you're wrong. You're in the sanitary ware business. You can't just think about individual customers in a business like this. A family will buy one set of your stuff at most. And as you said, they'll bargain and push your profit to the lowest level. In this way, how can you make any profit, right?" Tian Shun also spoke in a condescending tone.

"Yes, yes, Secretary Tian is right." Xiao Yuguang could only nod his head at this moment. He knew very well that there was not much profit in doing business with individual customers. But unfortunately, he had no friends in the officialdom. Even if he knew one or two, they were people without much power and could not play any role in the prosperity of his business.
