Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1191: Social Mixer

Chengzi nodded, and his sister-in-law gave him a week’s vacation, exactly the same as his wife’s.

He returned home and lay in bed. Thinking it won’t be long before he can hold his wife while sleeping.

Thinking about the way he saw Hu Zi today. Truly enviable. Moreover, Daqing and Da Biao are also different now.

Now, they all frequently pay attention to their wives.

He actually wanted Xiao Yu to come along too, but it was really inconvenient to go with his sister-in-law and the others.

Forget it, what’s the use of thinking so much?

Besides, Zhang Chunsheng and Qin Zhiyuan were both late for the social gathering, they just didn’t want to come.

The two exchanged wry smiles as Shao Hongming also joined them.

The three of them were acquainted, and they all saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes, sharing a sense of the same plight.

Today, Qin Zhiyuan and Zhang Chunsheng both received a final ultimatum, if they don’t find someone they fancy, they should be ready to be grooms.

Shao Hongming was a little better off than them. However, he was extremely reluctant and regretted coming to the Capital, as he wouldn’t be under so much scrutiny back home.

Now nothing can be done, anyway, he had to come.

Today’s meeting had only ten male and twenty female participants, and clearly, these women were much better-looking than before.

The three were still very attractive, Zhang Chunsheng, who has long been in a high position, naturally has a certain aura.

Shao Hongming was the same, and he even looked better than Zhang Chunsheng.

Qin Zhiyuan goes without saying. He exuded an elegant and refined charm that was eye-catching at a glance.

Today, Zhang Chunsheng’s idea was to try to find someone for himself, as it’s always better than having an arranged one, at least it’s his own choice.

Qin Zhiyuan, however, felt like a pig unafraid of boiling water; he had no choice but to come. The leader didn’t use orders but made a request as an elder.

Qin Zhiyuan truly had no intention of settling down. He’s actually a narcissist. He believed there are too few women in this world who match up to him, moreover, they’re already taken.

Shao Hongming was just there to put on a show; his father wouldn’t let him off otherwise. He’s someone who’d rather have nothing than settle for mediocrity.

Also, it was to see what the woman beside him really thought.

Zhang Chunsheng seriously looked at the twenty women opposite. He had read their files; of course, they were excellent, but still, a mutual attraction is necessary.

After a round, he sighed again, why didn’t he feel any rapport?

Although there’s no woman in his life, how could someone of his age not know that a couple needs feelings to get along, even if it’s not love, at least other kinds of feelings are required.

He didn’t feel any connection with these women, how was he supposed to get along?

He saw Qin Zhiyuan with his head down, fingers tapping back and forth on his thigh, clearly annoyed.

Shao Hongming was even more straightforward, just lowering his head; was this silent resistance?

No, he couldn’t do this; he looked through them once more, matching their profiles in his mind.

Still not working, it truly can’t be forced.

Today’s social event was very unsuccessful; not a single man chose anyone, and the twenty women showed no interest either.

After three rounds, the result was still the same. The social event ended just like that.

"Let’s go, I’ll treat you two to dinner." It was already after work hours.

Qin Zhiyuan and Zhang Chunsheng didn’t decline. All three drove and settled on the hot pot restaurant.

They were all very disciplined people and didn’t drink.

"You are better off than the two of us; we won’t need to attend another social event next time; we’ll just be waiting to get married." Zhang Chunsheng finished and sighed.

Shao Hongming poured them tea "How is it better? I’ll end up the same eventually."

"Honestly, thinking about it is quite frustrating. What if we run into them in the future? How embarrassing will that be?"

Qin Zhiyuan didn’t say a word, just drank water.

He had already figured it out; since they’re planning to arrange it, he would wait for their arrangements; they’ll surely find someone suitable for him.

"Come to think of it, it really will be embarrassing if we run into them in the future. Are you both just waiting to settle down?"

"What else can we do? Just get married. Whoever they find, that’s who I’ll marry, I envy those in blind marriages."

The three ate silently, and after dinner, they each left. Tan Shaoting and Zeng Zhenqing knew about their performance; Zeng Zhenqing was so angry he hit his thigh.

The next day, Feng Shanshan packed up and went to report. After the meeting, Hu Zi looked at Zhang Chunsheng gossipingly.

"Get lost."

"Seeing you like this, I knew it didn’t work out." He said with a chuckle and left.

Shao Hongming also received a call from his father after the meeting.

Shao Huade hadn’t slept well all night. "Why?"

"Not interested."

"Are you planning to stay like this for the rest of your life?"

"Not necessarily, I’ll marry if I meet the right one."

"Can you give me a timeline?"

"Dad, how can I give you a timeline for that?"

Shao Huade sighed, said no more, and hung up the phone.

At this moment, a woman carrying files entered Shao Hongming’s office.

"These are the minutes from this meeting."

Shao Hongming nodded and lowered his head to look at the report.

"Why not me?"

"Not suitable, no feelings."

Cheng Liying turned and left; she was very hurt after learning he attended a social event yesterday. She had restrained herself for him, willingly being his secretary, asking for nothing, but he didn’t care about her at all.

He just liked that woman, but that woman already had a man, had children, and was reportedly pregnant again.

What was he thinking? What was wrong with her?

After hanging up, Shao Huade called Zeng Zhenqing.

"Old Zeng, what should we do?"

"I’m at my wit’s end too. Should we perhaps just force them to settle down? I’ve selected a few. Xiao Su has a keen eye for people; I’ll have her choose a few, then I’ll directly assign them."

"Alright, that might work for you, but not here; it’s driving me crazy. I thought he might have feelings for his female secretary?"

"Being anxious doesn’t help; let’s see what happens. I just think once they settle down, they’ll gradually change."

By noon the next day, Zeng Zhenqing and Su Yuanyuan went out together; they were going to meet a few women.

Su Yuanyuan met with several women. She found them all quite good, a total of four, with no issues at all, good mindset, and they were all very pretty.

She listened to their thoughts; they were all brought up well from a young age, with no problems, and were very outstanding. They didn’t know the reason for this meeting.
