Chapter 393 Someone Wants to Be an Official

Liu Ruyan was very excited. If Miss Yuan's parents hadn't said it themselves, she wouldn't have even noticed that Yuanyuan, who was still a minor, had already reached the point where she could talk about marriage.

But the thought of Yuan Meng going on a blind date looking like a minor made her inexplicably want to laugh.

While Miss Yuan was still eating, the four people in the living room quietly made a plan.

Ms. Jiang and her husband are the hopefuls, Lin Mo is the beneficiary, and Liu Ruyan is the observer. With the interests of all three parties aligned, such a plan is naturally easy to promote.

If all goes well, his restaurant's revenue will reach a new record high next Wednesday.

Putting everything else aside, what does it mean to have at least eighteen dishes?
Given the prices of his restaurant's dishes, none of them are less than a thousand yuan. If, as Ms. Jiang and her husband said, they wanted both luxury and high-end items, Lin Mo could easily spend over four hundred thousand yuan just on the food alone.

For no other reason than that the more expensive the better, how could a cold jellyfish salad costing over ten thousand yuan possibly taste as good as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
Moreover, Miss Yuan is a carnivore. Although she can eat vegetables, she would throw a tantrum if the whole meal was just made with vegetables.

On the contrary, dishes like boiled cabbage in clear broth, although more expensive, are more about presentation and are dispensable to Miss Yuan.

Since this meal was prepared for Miss Yuan, its purpose was obvious from the beginning. Simply put, it was definitely not going to be cheap.

Besides, Miss Yuan's family isn't short of money. Most importantly, in these matchmaking events, I've never heard of the woman's family paying the bill. It's always the man's family who pays. Why not make some money?
To be honest, it feels a bit like Miss Yuan has become a shill for her own restaurant.

However, Lin Mo wasn't worried about anything. Firstly, his restaurants all had clearly marked prices, and secondly, even if the man's family had objections to the meal, Miss Yuan's family wouldn't be stingy, so it couldn't be his fault.

When Miss Yuan and Director Wang came out of the restaurant, the four of them had already finished making their plans and then changed the subject to talk about other things.

When they learned that Miss Yuan had set up a studio and created a food street in front of several of her family's unused shops, hoping to revitalize the businesses, they were deeply moved.

The happiest person was Old Yuan, who felt that his daughter had finally grown up and learned how to do business, and praised her for her excellent ideas.

But he never imagined that this idea actually came from Liu Ruyan.

But that doesn't matter. With Comrade Yuan's affirmation, Miss Yuan is even more confident.

When Mr. Yuan and Ms. Jiang learned that the Sichuan girl was a blogger with millions of followers, they were slightly surprised.

At first, they thought their daughter opening a studio was just another whim, but now it seems there's some potential.

Although Mr. Yuan is a big boss in the real economy, it doesn't mean he is completely ignorant of the self-media industry.

In recent years, their company has gradually adjusted its pace with the progress of the times, and it is common for the company to hire online influencers to sell its products and for celebrities to endorse them.

Society is developing and times are progressing. Companies and industries that cannot adapt in time will eventually face elimination.

The Yuan family has been in business for generations and has a keen business sense, so they naturally wouldn't look down on internet celebrities.

Because he clearly knows that the profits a social media influencer can generate in a year are quite considerable, and there are almost no personnel costs.

Unlike their physical businesses, which, although profitable, also have a large scale and high costs, with so many employees, if they are not careful, many people will lose their jobs.

After staying with Sister Yuan for an hour, Lin Mo and the others said their goodbyes, mainly because it was getting dark outside and it would be impolite to stay any longer.

In November, it gets dark much earlier than it did two months ago. Even at the beginning of last month, the sun was still out at this time.

At the entrance of the Yuan family villa, watching the two cars drive away, Ms. Jiang suddenly asked, "Old Yuan, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, 'how do you see it'?" Old Yuan asked calmly without even turning his head. Ms. Jiang glared at him, "What are you pretending for? What else could it be? Of course, it's Xiao Lin and Ru Yan!"

"I can only say there's a chance!" Comrade Yuan nodded.

Both of them were shrewd and naturally noticed that Lin Mo's sudden visit to the Liu family today was unusual, especially the way the two young people sat together, which gave the impression that they were a strangely well-matched couple.

Of course, most importantly, Lin Mo's visit to the Liu family today was only because Liu Ruyan's mother, Cheng Qing, used Lin Mo's secret medicine, which improved her facial skin.

How could that be? You know, Ms. Jiang used it before, but she didn't let Lin Mo come to her house because of this.

Simply put, this is a trivial matter and not worth making such a fuss about. If the relationship isn't close enough, it would be rather abrupt to visit someone's home.

Ms. Jiang first invited Lin Mo to her home after Lin Mo had given the old man a massage with surprisingly good results. After that, they had some business dealings, so it seemed more natural for Lin Mo to visit her later.

"You noticed it too?" Ms. Jiang asked excitedly upon hearing this.

In response, Comrade Yuan smiled and said, "What's so hard to see? But speaking of which, Xiao Lin was just so-so before, but since the restaurant opened, coupled with his clean background, he's really a good choice. I don't know about Liu Zhengyuan, but his wife has definitely taken a liking to him."

"If it really works out, that would be great. It'll save our son from constantly thinking about her; he's so old and still not married."

"That's what I was thinking too. If these two kids get together, we can put an end to our son's hopes. That would be a good thing. But Cheng Qing has a really good eye, and she's quite decisive. It's just that our Yuanyuan is so naive. She doesn't even know how to seize a good young man. I, as her mother, can't do anything about it. Sigh~" Ms. Jiang sighed helplessly.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's highly likely that the two children in the family will still find someone of equal social standing. After all, the Yuan family business is a family enterprise, and Comrade Yuan isn't the only one in his generation. It's just that he has the best talent for doing business, so the company was handed over to him to manage.

As for the next generation, they either need to separate from the family and live separately, or they need a strong external support. This blind date was actually promoted by relatives of the Yuan family.

Simply put, their family business may seem large, but the relationships within the family are actually quite complex, and many things are beyond their control.

The Liu family is much better in this respect. Whether it's their home or their business, they have the final say, which avoids a lot of trouble.

But if it's her daughter's own preference, Ms. Jiang isn't against it. At worst, they can separate the family and transfer the company's shares. Anyway, they have enough money to live on, and they can't let their child suffer, can they?
"Alright, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, who cares? Besides, look at Yuanyuan's condition, I dare say it's unlikely she'll get married within ten years. Don't worry, things will work out in the end. In a few years, we can just transfer the shares and divide them cleanly," Old Yuan said with a smile.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Zhengyuan returned home looking exhausted. As he sat down at the dining table to eat, Ms. Cheng poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll be resting tonight. Here, try this wine."

Hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He took a sip of the wine his wife had poured for him and said, "Mmm~ Good wine. The wine my wife pours is always so fragrant!"

Take that with a grain of salt. Guojiao 1573 is indeed considered a fine wine in Lin Mo's family, but in Liu's family, it's just average, only good for making his wife happy.

"It smells good, doesn't it? Someone wants to become an official, so this was given to you," Ms. Cheng said with a smile.

Liu Zhengyuan: "Become an official? Why would an official come to me? I'm not a leader in the system."

“No, no, no, you’re more effective than the boss in this matter,” Ms. Cheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me, who is it, and what official position do they want?"

Ms. Cheng: "The groom!"

Liu Zhengyuan: "Tui~"
