Early the next morning, Zhen Jian gave Zhen Dali 200 yuan to see him off, and then took Li Xianyu to the fat powder shop to find Hou Chongwen.
After listening to Zhen Jian's story, Hou Chongwen was willing to go to Pingchang County with Zhen Jian to persuade Chen Changqing, after all, he had a good relationship with Chen Changqing.
The two of them prepared a little, and set off in the afternoon, because the three of them were riding horses, and the speed was very fast, and when they were about to approach the county seat of Pyeongchang, they caught up with Zhen Dali, and everyone entered the city together.
When entering the city, it happened to be dark to close the city gate, the three of them went to the restaurant to have a light meal, and then went home to rest, the next day, Zhen Dali drove a carriage out of the county and rushed to Yangshu Village, Zhen Jian and Hou Chongwen went to visit Chen Changqing.
Zhen Jian originally planned to bring some generous gifts, but was vetoed by Hou Chongwen, Hou Chongwen said: "Chen Changqing is honest and arrogant, with my relationship with him, if I bring a gift to visit him, it will make him unhappy." ” When Zhen Jian heard this, he also dispelled the idea of giving gifts, and the two went to visit Chen Changqing with a poster.
In order to prevent Chen Changqing from going to the Yamen office, they came very early, and after handing over the post, Chen Changqing personally went out to greet him, and when he saw that Hou Chongwen had brought a young man, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Zhen Jian suspiciously: "This little friend is ......"
Zhen Jian smiled and saluted: "Junior, Zhen Jian, meet Master Chen." ” "Zhen Jian?"
Chen Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said, "You are Zhen Jian, the shopkeeper of the Pyeongchang snack bar and Tongfu Restaurant, right, the old man has seen you!"
” Zhen Jian smiled complimentarily and said, "Lord Chen really has a good memory. ” "Whereever, you two, please come in."
Chen Changqing invited them into the house, took them to the living room, and after the host and guest sat down, Chen Changqing asked with a smile: "The two of you are in two places, how can you come to visit the old man together?"
” Hou Chongwen smiled and said: "Zhen Xiaoyou is my lucky star, I cooperated with him, and I earned enough 30,000 yuan in a few months, and now I have returned to the capital, Zhen Xiaoyou has also done business in the capital, and we came from the capital together." ” "Is that so?"
Chen Changqing looked at Zhen Jian in surprise when he heard this, but then frowned again, because Zhen Jian is the shopkeeper of Tongfu Restaurant, and Li Xianyu is the manager of Tongfu Restaurant, there must be a connection between the two, Zhen Jian's sudden visit this time should be related to Chen Yunzhi.
Hou Chongwen continued to praise Zhen Jian with a smile: "Zhen Xiaoyou is really a genius, two years ago he just opened a snack bar in Pyeongchang, and now he has opened a big restaurant in the capital, sitting on a million family properties, and his daily wealth is rolling, even I can't reach it." ” "Hehe, Uncle Hou has won the award."
Zhen Jian smiled modestly.
Chen Changqing looked at Zhen Jian in shock, although he was not greedy for money, but he also knew that if he wanted to make millions of yuan in just two years, and he started from a snack bar, it was not a big deal, in his opinion, this was beyond the scope of human ability, but Zhen Jian did it.
After Chen Changqing was surprised for a long time, he stared at Zhen Jian uncertainly, and suddenly said, "Zhen Xiaoyou came this time to stand out for Li Xianyu, right?"
” "I can't talk about it."
Zhen Jian smiled lightly, "Master Chen, the junior just wants you to give Li Xianyu a chance. ” "Humph!"
Chen Changqing snorted coldly, looked away, and no longer looked at Zhen Jian, it was obvious that he didn't want to pay attention to Zhen Jian's proposal.
Hou Chongwen smiled and said: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I'm here to be a lobbyist for Zhen Jian this time, Li Xianyu, a young man, I've also seen it, it's very good, I don't know why Brother Chen, you don't look down on him?"
” Chen Changqing frowned and looked at Hou Chongwen and asked, "If someone has a private meeting with your daughter, will you be angry?"
” Hou Chongwen couldn't help but glance at Zhen Jian when he heard this, and then said: "If you are angry, you naturally have to be angry, after all, this is not in line with etiquette." ” "Look, you say the same."
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet."
Hou Chongwen said, "But you can't mess up your mind because you are angry, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, pick a son-in-law, you must be cautious, if someone has a private meeting with my daughter, then my daughter must be very satisfied with this person, and then, I will secretly observe this person, see how this person's character and family background are, if I am satisfied, why not let him be my son-in-law?"
” Chen Changqing said: "Marrying a daughter should pay attention to the right family, then Li Xianyu is flamboyant, fatherless and motherless, and has poor upbringing, and is now working as a partner in a restaurant......
What is his right relationship with our family?
” Hou Chongwen didn't know how to answer for a while when he heard this, but Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Chen, you said that Li Xianyu has no parental upbringing since he was a child, is he lacking in virtue?"
” Chen Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and did not answer, in fact, he was just like people in the future world, as soon as he heard that someone was a single-parent family or an orphan, he looked at others with colored eyes, which was very wrong.
Zhen Jian continued: "Lord Chen said that marriage should pay attention to a good match, so why do you want to be the right person?
Does Master Chen know?
” Chen Changqing was stunned again when he heard this, he couldn't answer, he was a little annoyed in his heart, he could marry whoever he wanted to marry his daughter, this Zhen Jian actually dared to preach, and he also made it difficult for him.
Chen Changqing looked at Hou Chongwen's face, held back his anger, and said coldly: "The old man doesn't know, do you know?"
” Zhen Jian smiled and nodded, and said: "The family environment of both men and women is roughly the same, because the family situation will affect a person's growth, determine his talent, character, cultivation, etc., for example, if a talented lady marries a farmer who only knows how to plow in the field all day long, the eldest lady talks poetry all day long, and the farmer thinks about how to make the crops grow better all day long, the two of them have no common language at all, and it is difficult to even communicate and communicate, and the life after marriage will naturally not be happy." ” "That's right."
Chen Changqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhen Jian, he was very satisfied with Zhen Jian's explanation, very straightforward, in his opinion, Li Xianyu was the farmer, not even as good as the farmer, and the social status of the businessman was low.
Zhen Jian smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then Lord Chen, please tell me, is it impossible for Ling Qianjin and Li Xianyu to communicate and communicate?"
” Chen Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, he knew that he had fallen for the trick, Chen Yunzhi often secretly went to the restaurant to meet Li Xianyu privately, and they talked very happily, how could there be a problem in this regard.
"Young man, you must be very sharp-toothed."
Chen Changqing frowned and teased Zhen Jian.
At this point, Zhen Jian can also feel that Chen Changqing's attitude towards him is not very friendly, since this is the case, hurry up and use all the tricks, otherwise when he chases away customers, there will be no chance.
So Zhen Jian sped up his speech and said: "Lord Chen, the younger generation knows, you don't look down on Li Xianyu's background, he is white, and he is still in business with me, businessmen have no status in our Dachu, but three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, I don't know if Lord Chen has heard of Jinpeng?"
” Chen Changqing sneered when he heard this: "The God of Wealth in the world, how can you not hear of it, if you compare Li Xianyu with him, you will inevitably be too exalted to that kid." ” "It's not Li Xianyu."
Zhen Jian smiled lightly, "It's me, my goal is to become a successful businessman like Jinpeng, and Li Xianyu is my best brother, one person can ascend to heaven, if I can reach that level, he will also become a big businessman who controls a side of commerce, although it is not the same thing as being an official, but it will never disgrace your reputation, and it will make your daughter live a good life." ” Chen Changqing frowned and looked at Zhen Jian, he didn't know where Zhen Jian's confidence came from, and said coldly: "Are you painting cakes to satisfy hunger, anyone can say big things, if you want to use these words to let the old man marry his daughter to a restaurant guy, it's too whimsical." ” "The younger generation has to correct several mistakes of the seniors."
Zhen Jian said seriously, "First of all, Li Xianyu is not a buddy, he is the manager of the Pyeongchang branch of my chain restaurant, and his annual salary is more than twice your salary." ” Chen Changqing snorted coldly when he heard this: "So what?
” "Not how."
Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Secondly, I didn't let Lord Chen marry his daughter to Li Xianyu, I just asked Lord Chen to give him a chance." ” Chen Changqing sneered and asked, "How do you let the old man give him a chance?"

” Zhen Jiandao: "Master Chen, Li Xianyu is definitely going to go down the business road with me, I just want to ask you, what kind of point he wants to reach before you agree to marry your daughter to him." ” Chen Changqing deliberately wanted to embarrass Zhen Jian, thought about it for a while, and then replied: "A businessman pursues profits, he wants to become a big businessman, so he naturally has to make a lot of money, I heard that 200,000 guan is a watershed between large merchants and small merchants in your business world, just 200,000 yuan." ” Zhen Jian nodded, spread his hands and said, "Is there anything else?"
” Chen Changqing saw that he didn't have any surprise, and his heart was a little bottomless, so he increased the difficulty, and said: "A businessman is a businessman, he can't avoid dealing with the government, if he wants to become a successful businessman, he naturally has to know the people in the officialdom, and the old man's requirements are not high, so he won't use the officials of the DPRK and China to embarrass you, as long as he can get to know two officials of more than five grades, he will be considered successful." ” Zhen Jian narrowed his eyes and asked, "If he does these two things, you will promise to marry your daughter to him?"
” Chen Changqing saw that Zhen Jian still didn't have the slightest look of surprise, and he was a little panicked, but when it came to this, he couldn't ride a tiger, so he could only nod and say: "That's right, as long as he can do it, the old man will admit that he has the ability and marry his daughter to him." ” "Words have no evidence, but words are proof."
Zhen Jian said and took out the paper that had been prepared from his arms, and said, "I'm bothering Lord Chen to get a pen." ” At this time, Hou Chongwen coughed lightly and said, "Zhen Jian, just forget about the evidence, Lord Chen has always talked about faith and righteousness, and I can guarantee this." ” Zhen Jian nodded when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Lord Chen, I ask you to give Li Xianyu a chance, give him a year, I will take him to the capital to develop, a year later, he will definitely be able to bring 200,000 yuan as a dowry, and bring an official above the fifth grade to be a witness to marry your daughter, and what you have to do is not to marry your daughter to others in this year, can you do it?"
” Chen Changqing hesitated again when he heard this, and Hou Chongwen persuaded at this time: "Brother Chen, if Li Xianyu can really reach such a point, what are you dissatisfied with?"
” Chen Changqing thinks about it, although he is stubborn, but he is not pedantic, not the kind of thinking that everything is inferior but high in reading, he has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, he can be regarded as seeing through officialdom, if his future son-in-law can have great development in business, it is not bad, the most important thing is that his daughter likes it.
As soon as he thought of this, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, the old man promised you to give you a year." ” "Thank you, Lord Chen."
Zhen Jian got up happily when he heard this, and said, "Adults had better inform Ling Qianjin about this matter, lest she think that Li Xianyu is forgetful and abandons her, and if she suffers from lovesickness or something, the gains outweigh the losses." ” "Don't worry, the old man will tell her."
Chen Changqing nodded, turned his head to face Hou Chongwen, and said, "It's rare for you to come over and play a game?"
” Hou Chongwen smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”
