Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Director Wang, however, enthusiastically tried to arrange a match.

She introduced Shen Tingci's mother to Wen Tang: "Xiao Tang, this is Mrs. Shen."

Shen Tingci's mother, Chen Ying, was only a few years older than Director Wang, yet Director Wang dared not call her "sister," instead addressing her as "Madam."

What an outdated and feudal way of putting it.

Wen Tang knew that the other party was definitely not simple.

Fortunately, this lady was a sensible person. She immediately smiled and said, "What lady?" She extended her hand to Wen Tang and Zhong Meixian, "Hello, I am Tingci's mother. My name is Chen Ying. You can just call me by my name."

Wen Tang extended her hand with neither humility nor arrogance, "Hello, Wen Tang, you can just call me Xiao Wen."

Zhong Meixian had never dealt with such a person before. She touched hands briefly with Chen Ying, nodded, but couldn't say a word.

Director Wang quickly opened his office door. "Come on in, everyone!"

As everyone walked toward the office, Chen Ying's gaze remained fixed on Gu Shuhe.

The moment she saw Gu Shuhe, she knew that the marriage was probably going to happen today.

However, she was not very satisfied.

Although the girl looked very refined, came from a respectable family, and was very beautiful—much prettier than that bitch—the difference between them was still too great.

But then I think of my son…

My son is already twenty-seven. Can we really wait until that bitch comes back?

When they arrived at Director Wang's office, Chen Ying looked at them with a smile, but her tone was very assertive.

After Director Wang introduced Gu Shuhe's name, Chen Ying asked with a smile, "How old is Shuhe this year?"

"Twenty," Gu Shuhe said, holding the cup in her hand. Although she was shy, she didn't hesitate and remained silent.

"Twenty, that's quite young. Where do you work?"

"Supply and Marketing Cooperative!"

"The supply and marketing cooperative, why didn't you think about finding a better job?"

Gu Shuhe gripped the cup tightly. "I think my current job is pretty good."

Wen Tang chimed in, "Our family doesn't need my sister to support us, so as long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

Chen Ying's subtle aloofness was something Wen Tang could see through.

Although she was always smiling and seemed very gentle.

But there was no smile in her eyes.

The fact that she laughed like that only shows that she is a person who pays great attention to appearances.

Unexpectedly, Wen Tang's words made Chen Ying laugh even more, but she agreed with Wen Tang's words, saying, "Yes, it's okay for girls not to work."

Wen Tang: Damn, he's tough.

In the first round, they narrowly lost.

But Wen Tang wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she continued, "It's true that she was raised by her maternal family, but it's hard to say after marriage, don't you think?" Wen Tang smiled.

Wen Tang: I won't give you a single word.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Director Wang quickly changed the subject, shifting the focus to Shen Tingci.

Shen Tingci sat quietly there after entering the room, as if he were an insignificant person.

Director Wang pulled him into the office and asked, "Are you busy with your work after hearing the resignation?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tingci raised his eyes, his indifferent expression showing little change. "It's alright!"

Director Wang: "..."

Chen Ying then turned the topic to Gu Shuhe, replying to Wen Tang's words, "If you marry into our family, Tingci will support you, and you can quit this job."

Wen Tang "..."

Who is this?

They look down on them on one hand, but say these things on the other. Who would want to marry into their family?

Gu Shuhe felt her face turn red.

Wen Tang couldn't help but say, "Our Shuhe is still young, it would be better to work for two more years," she politely declined.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "You're not young anymore. When a girl meets the right person, it's better to settle down as soon as possible."

Wen Tang smiled insincerely, "Yes, you have to meet the right person eventually."

It means you two are not a good match.

Although Shen Tingci himself has excellent physical attributes, his indifferent demeanor makes him seem heartless. Moreover, his mother is not easy to talk to, so Wen Tang has a feeling that Gu Shuhe will suffer if she marries him.

But this is not her business, and she has no say in it.

Director Wang then picked up the conversation again, "Xiao Tang, when are you leaving for Haishi?"

Director Wang brought this up to tell Chen Ying that Gu Shuhe's family background wasn't bad. Although they lived in the countryside, it was uncertain who would be marrying up to whom in the future!

Since she introduced it, it must have been planned.

"I'll leave tomorrow, tomorrow morning."

"So urgent?"

"Yes, it's been almost a month already."

Director Wang had briefly explained the Gu family's situation to Chen Ying, but he hadn't mentioned why Wen Tang from Haishi went there, so Chen Ying didn't know.

It must be from her soap business.

They're quite shrewd; they've even expanded their business to overseas markets.

But how can people like that compare to them?

However, this girl seems to have an older brother who is a battalion commander in the army. If he were to be demobilized and return to the county, he could be a decent match for her.

So as long as her son didn't object, Chen Ying decided to go along with Gu Shuhe.

Gu Shuhe looks like the kind of well-behaved girl who would be perfect as a daughter-in-law.

Chen Ying then asked Gu Shuhe, "Did you finish high school?"

Gu Shuhe nodded.

Then he whispered to Wen Tang, "Sister-in-law, let's go home!"

Shen Tingci is very good-looking, but Gu Shuhe feels that they are not from the same world, so Gu Shuhe wants to leave.

Moreover, she didn't really like what Chen Ying said, but she was too shy to say anything.

Seeing that Gu Shuhe was also uninterested, Wen Tang stood up and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, I need to go to Haishi tomorrow and pack some things, so I'll head back first."

Director Wang stood up and urged, "Sit a little longer, let's have dinner together later!"

When Director Wang said those two sentences, his eyes swept over Chen Ying. Since Chen Ying did not show any sign of rejection, Director Wang knew that this meal was worthwhile.

But Wen Tang and the others didn't want to eat.

So Zhong Meixian and Gu Shuhe both got up, but Wen Tang said, "No, I still have a lot of things to do at home."

"Next time, I'll treat you next time I'm free." After saying that, Wen Tang called Zhong Meixian and Gu Shuhe and left.

Gu Shuhe walked behind, her head hanging down, revealing her slender neck and porcelain-white skin.

She was slender and tall with delicate features. Aside from not being very good at dressing up, her overall demeanor was that of a well-bred lady.

Director Wang then saw the person out, leaving only Chen Ying and her son Shen Tingci in the office.

As soon as Chen Ying and the others left, she immediately asked, "How was it?"

Shen Tingci instead asked her, "What do you think?"

What do you mean by "I think"?

"Yes, I'm only satisfied when you're satisfied, right?"

Chen Ying was furious, but she didn't dare to argue with him too much. "If you don't object, then this is it!"

“Listen to me, you’re twenty-seven this year, and you’ll be twenty-eight next year. You should start thinking about me and your father.”

"Ok!"

"What do you mean?"

As soon as Chen Ying finished speaking, her face lit up with surprise, "You don't object?"

"I see you're quite satisfied."

Chen Ying wanted to say something, but then thought better of it.

“Then I’ll go talk to Wang He.”

They had their eye on it, but at the entrance of the commune compound, Wen Tang said to Director Wang, "Director, thank you for your hard work, we'll be leaving now."

Director Wang pointed inside and said, "This matter..."

Wen Tang looked at Gu Shuhe!
