......

Zhao Zheng has gotten used to giving state gifts lately, but he really has no experience when it comes to meeting the parents.

Before coming, he anonymously asked netizens online, and the all-knowing netizens gave him a lot of advice, which can be summarized in one sentence: "It's never wrong to be polite."

Stop with all that fancy stuff! Remember the old saying: You can't hit a smiling face!

The comments below further elaborated on this point: If you have money, why not use it when meeting the parents? Are you going to wait until your relationship ends before using it to drown your sorrows in alcohol?

Zhao Zheng looked up and thought about how he had broken up with Bai Zhenzhu, and then he cried and tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol... Uh oh no, no way!

Zhao Zheng tried to shake his head to shake off the terrible scene.

He couldn't get rid of it at all; he just hanged himself without warning.

Netizens are still giving him advice: Brother, listen to me, raise the budget to the maximum. It's your first time visiting, you can't lose face!

Zhao Zheng was enlightened.

So, what does it mean to emphasize moderation, cost-effectiveness, and practicality?

At this crucial moment concerning lifelong happiness, it's essential to demonstrate the utmost sincerity... financially! Let Pearl's family see his commitment! Make any potential criticisms impossible!

Don't worry about what "moderate" means, just pull it to the top and that's moderate.

Contact all available channels and mobilize the connections and resources of all foreign ministers, not seeking the best, but the most expensive.

Let's get started!

Supplements are a hard currency that transcends race and culture; they are essential everywhere.

Zhao Zheng was well aware of this, and directly drew up a list:

Get a whole selection of dried goods and health supplements: sea cucumber, abalone, old ginseng, fish maw, bird's nest, American ginseng, and some other miscellaneous mountain delicacies, mushrooms, and freeze-dried dendrobium.

It covers a wide variety of rare and precious plants and animals, fungi and medicinal herbs from around the world, emphasizing comprehensiveness and rarity; just looking at the packaging makes it seem very valuable.

Termites should be able to grind their teeth... I guess so.

Pearl's family is a large one, so they can't just prepare one gift; the more the better.

The boxes of these supplements, piled up, took up half the apartment; the sheer variety was quite impressive.

Zerg can drink alcohol, and they quite enjoy it; you should also give them some.

When high-ranking officials give gifts, bottled Moutai is no longer acceptable; those with money and connections must obtain raw Moutai directly from the factory.

Zhao Zheng used some less-than-expected connections and channels, and after several twists and turns, obtained a batch of unblended raw liquor directly transported from the old Maotai factory.

The original liquor is the essence of Moutai, with a powerful and mellow aroma. It is not usually available on the market and is only supplied to special customers.

Forget about cigarettes; nobody in the termite tribe smokes. Sending cigarettes would not only be useless, but it might also cause offense—a classic case of stepping on a landmine.

There are also some miscellaneous dried fruits and nuts native to Earth.

When Zhao Zheng and his group arrived, the gifts they prepared filled the entire aircraft. Minister Greta tried to stop them, but Zhao Zheng refused to give in and absolutely refused to reduce the amount.

Well, Zhao Zheng was just trying to make a good impression on his parents, so Minister Greta couldn't say anything and could only let him bring them all.

Now the butler and Krim are carrying boxes of gifts inside. At first, the scene was quite normal, but as they carried more and more, the gifts on one side of the living room piled up higher and higher, and the scene became a little out of control.

The termite family head and Greta's parents, sitting in the main seats, watched as the gifts piled up like a small mountain and box after box were continuously brought in. They grew restless and coughed, "Hey, you're here, why bring so much stuff..."

This was the truth; they had no intention of making things difficult for Zhao Zheng. After all, Greta was seventy years old when she finally thought about finding a partner. Whether human or Zerg, as long as their character was acceptable, they would be grateful...

Zhao Zheng dared not accept such a reply and quickly said, "Of course, of course..."

As long as you don't find him vulgar, that's fine.

The male and female fathers were still saying, "This is too expensive, too expensive..."

Zhao Zheng quickly said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing much, really nothing! It's just some local specialties from our area, for you to try and nourish your bodies..."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Pearl out of the corner of his eye, seeking her support.

Minister Greta received his distress signal, straightened her expression, and calmly came to Zhao Zheng's rescue: "Oh, he's been preparing for a long time. It's just a small token of his appreciation. Please accept it."

With Greta speaking up, the male and female fathers no longer refused, but simply smiled and shook their heads, accepting this overly generous gift.

The atmosphere became lively again, and Zhao Zheng began to try to find topics to chat with the elders, asking about the local customs and traditions of the clan, praising the ingenuity of the manor, and his attitude was respectful and enthusiastic. The more Pearl's parents looked at him, the more they felt that this child had a really good personality.

Zhao Zheng exchanged pleasantries with the elders, when Minister Greta stopped Krim, who was about to leave after unloading the gifts: "Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Krim whispered to him, "I'm not sitting here, Uncle. I'm having a fight with my father-in-law."

Minister Greta raised an eyebrow.

Krim hesitated for a moment, then said, "Oh, I'll tell you later."

?

Ok.

Minister Greta raised an eyebrow again, released his hand, and let him slip away quietly.
