I want to be emperor

Chapter 913 Mistress

A meeting that seemed to be for fun but was actually a blind date ended smoothly without too many disturbances.

In the middle of the process, everyone also created a brief alone time for Song Erniu and the Chen family's legitimate daughter to have a private conversation.

And after the two had a private meeting, everyone could find that both Song Erniu and Chen's daughter-in-law were in a good mood.

Song Erniu felt very good about the legitimate daughter of the Chen family. Needless to say, her family background was a century-old scholarly family. This was what Song Erniu valued most.

Secondly, the words and deeds of the prostitutes of the Chen family also made him feel very good. Every move reveals that her family education is excellent... This has to make Song Erniu sincerely sigh. Excellent!
The good and excellent tutors mentioned here are not simply talking about her personality, but her knowledge and the way she handles people.

Every move is dignified and generous, and at the same time, her words are tight...

In fact, from the very beginning, Song Erniu was keenly aware that the daughter of the Chen family's prostitute seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her, and she was somewhat emotional. Although Song Erniu didn't have much education, he was able to make his way in America, and then continued to grow and develop. , In fact, he is good at handling many things by observing his words and demeanor, and after many years of business career, his abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved.

Without this ability, Song Erniu would not be able to become a millionaire today.

Because even if God gives you a fortune, you must have enough ability to keep the wealth, otherwise it is just a dream.

So although the daughter of the Chen family hid it very well at first, Song Erniu still noticed that she was not in a good mood, and he could probably guess why he was in a bad mood!
But he doesn't care, what he cares about is the identity of the Chen family's concubine daughter and how she behaves.

Because it is different from ordinary men, ordinary men may just marry a wife... But Song Erniu married the mistress of a business empire!
He needs the hostess to have enough high-society fame and the ability to deal with people.

Not only must he be able to maintain Song Erniu's face outside, he must also be able to actually handle many social affairs in upper class society, and he must also be able to manage such a large family.

This is also why he insisted on marrying a real daughter of the upper class, because the first daughter of the upper class has a high probability of marrying the same man of the upper class in their lives, and becomes the first daughter of a rich family. hostess.

Therefore, from an early age, I will learn some experience and skills of managing a large family specially or passively.

The mistress of a wealthy family these days actually has a lot to worry about...

Traditionally, the male dominates the outside, the female dominates the inside, and the male dominates the outside.

Let's talk about the hostess, for future generations... no, it should be said that for ordinary families, the hostess may mean doing housework and taking care of children, but it is completely different for wealthy families!
The hostess in a traditional wealthy family refers to the fact that the hostess needs to manage dozens or even hundreds of housekeepers, attendants, maids, grooms, domes, farms, tenants and many other staff in the family, and manage the income and expenditure of the family assets ...

For example, the hostesses in Dream of the Red Chamber are typical hostesses in traditional rich families.

The hostesses are in charge of hundreds of servants or employees, as well as the income and expenditure of funds, as well as very important exchanges of human relations, receptions, etc... A simple example, the male host at home wants to hold a large banquet due to the needs of his career or official career Entertain the guests with a banquet for many guests.

How to organize the banquet, what specifications to use, what dishes to serve, how to arrange before and after meals, how to arrange guests, how to treat guests of different status in different levels, etc. In the end, how to do it is actually the scope of work of the hostess. ...And these things sound simple, but the actual operation is very complicated, and it is very easy to make jokes or even offend people if they are not handled properly.

If you add the management of servants and family assets, the things that the hostess needs to deal with are actually not much easier than managing a large enterprise

A woman from an ordinary family without any special education can't do these things at all... You don't even know the corresponding etiquette, let alone arrange different reception etiquette for different guests.

What Song Erniu needs is such a hostess who can help him handle many things, especially the management of family affairs and social affairs.

This means that ordinary women are unlikely to meet the standards he requires... because in their lives, ordinary women have never even heard of the content of these wealthy butlers... these things are beyond their imagination.

If you don’t have that knowledge, let alone that ability, what’s the use of marrying?
And the daughter of the Chen family perfectly meets the needs of Song Erniu, especially after meeting with the daughter of the Chen family today, judging from the behavior of the daughter of the Chen family, especially during the period of time when the two of them met alone , the daughter of the Chen family's concubine is dignified and generous, and at the same time she speaks and handles things very safely, without leaking.

All these made Song Erniu very satisfied.

And he also saw some dissatisfaction and worries of Chen's daughter-in-law towards him.

Regarding this, Song Erniu also said some things euphemistically when the two were alone for a short time, or promised, for example, there are many flights to and from the Americas, and it is very convenient to go to and from the mainland.

He also said that he was going to invest in the mainland, and if things went well in the future, he would have to travel frequently between the Americas and the mainland.

This is to imply that after she gets married, she can often return to her native land, so as to alleviate her possible homesickness, and it is even possible for them to settle in the native land in the future.

He also said that his social affairs in America are more complicated and there are many chores at home, which is very troublesome. This implies that after marrying her, he will not treat her as a vase, but treat her as a mistress in the true sense... ...Vase is not qualified to help him with these so-called human relations and chores at home.

And these hints are actually showing that he, Song Erniu, respects her ideas, so that she doesn't have to worry about disrespecting her in the future.

The daughter of the Chen family's concubine is obviously also a smart woman. After hearing Song Erniu's words, although she doesn't seem to have changed much, Song Erniu can tell that her mood has improved a lot.

As for the prejudice she might have towards herself, Song Erniu didn't care too much... because it didn't affect the overall situation.

What's more, he has always been a self-aware person. He knows that the eldest daughter of the Chen family has a somewhat negative view of him. Like everyone else, he most likely thinks that he is just a rich man, but he doesn't care about her negative view.

He only wants her!

As for why the daughter of the Chen family had a negative view of him, he also knew why.

After all, my family background, knowledge and many other aspects are not comparable to those of the noble family, and even some small habits of daily behavior are actually incompatible with many people in the upper class...Many ordinary people's living habits developed when they were young are difficult to change .

For these, you can say that he is informal, that a capable person can ignore other people's eyes and so on.

But the reality is very cruel...Those people who were born in the traditional upper class and cultivated a series of so-called noble and decent habits since childhood, can see many living habits in Song Erniu that are different from those of ordinary upper class people at a glance.

Even though Song Erniu had hired an etiquette teacher, many small details still could not be changed...

Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the upper class, Song Erniu is an out-and-out rich man... the kind who has no background at all.

Although it can be said that other people's opinions will not make Song Erniu lose a hair, those who should do business will still do business together. After all, money is a good thing.

It's just that this situation is always bad and will lead to some feelings of alienation. The specific manifestation is that they are not willing to accept Song Erniu into their real social circle, or in their personal network.

And Song Erniu is a businessman, and his business is not the kind of high-tech business that can rely on unique technology, and everyone has to beg him to sell products to him. His clothing business is just ordinary textiles. Business... This kind of business has reached his level, let alone wanting to grow, even if it is just to maintain the status quo, it needs to maintain and expand personal connections in all aspects...

Song Erniu has always been very aware of his lack of identity, which is why he wants to marry a real high-class daughter, in order to actually break into the core circle of the upper-class society in Jinshan Mansion, America.

As for the Chen family, although it has declined now, it is still a serious and scholarly family with a century of history. Its reputation is not only limited to the local county, but actually in the traditional upper class of Anlu Province. Here, the Chen family in Yingzhou is also quite famous.

After all, the Chen family of Yingzhou was one of the first local top families to welcome Master Wang after he entered the Anlu area. Mr. Chen, who was famous for being a civil servant, even took the initiative to become an official, and eventually became the fourth-grade prefect... that is, this person Die early, otherwise your official position will be higher.

And this kind of Chen family may be a member of the ordinary high society in the local area, and they are not even considered real dignitaries, they can only be regarded as local dignitaries.

But if such a family is placed in America, it will be different... To put it bluntly, if the Yingzhou Chen family moves to America now, with its family prestige, it will immediately become the top famous family in the entire North American governor's jurisdiction ...

After all, the homeland is the homeland, and overseas territories are overseas territories...

For many years in the overseas territories, there were actually no dignitaries in the past, but all kinds of low-level immigrants... Later, some business managers, small bosses, and low-level officials gradually settled in the localities!
How should I put it, the overseas territories are full of immigrants, the quality of the population is generally low, and there are not many real traditional upper-class families.

As for officials...low-level officials like ordinary staff members are naturally not considered high society, and middle and high-level officials...you can hardly say that they are really included in the local high society groups.

After all, the Great Chu Empire adopted a typical traditional system of passing officials. At the same time, when officials took office, they seldom brought a large family with them. At most, they brought their wives and children with them.

But officials are transferred here and there. Many officials go to North America to serve. Their biggest wish is to be promoted to the mainland after three to five years... So for the upper class in a place, the mobility of officials is very important. Too big, it is difficult to really integrate into the local high society!
Therefore, when it comes to the upper class, the middle and high-level officials in these overseas territories are actually quite special. It is difficult to regard them as members of the local upper class, but you cannot completely exclude them... even local senior officials They are often the core people of the local upper class!
Regardless of the words of these middle and high-level officials, there are not many traditional upper-class people who have really taken root in the Americas for a long time... Many of them are the kind who can't go up or down...

All of them claim to be high society, but counting up to three generations, there is a high probability that they are mud legs!
The real century-old scholarly family... Well, it can still be passed down to the present. The traditional wealthy families that were not killed in the early days of the dynasty, they are doing well in the local area, and some even go further to become the real power of the dynasty. Who of these families would go to overseas territories to suffer hardships!

Therefore, a large number of the so-called upper-class people in the Americas were only one or two generations earlier than Song Erniu, especially those who rose in the early days of the dynasty.

Under such circumstances, if the Chen family from Yingzhou goes to America, as long as they don’t expose the fact that their pockets are empty all at once, and maintain the decency of a century-old scholarly family to hold a random banquet, those so-called upper-class people in Jinshan Mansion will I ran over to participate...

Don't think it's an exaggeration... Song Erniu ran all the way back from America to go on a blind date after hearing that the Chen family intended to marry him.

The four characters of scholarly family are still very popular in the contemporary Great Chu Empire...

And the more people lack something, the more they care about it!
For example, Yu Tian is very handsome, but Yu Tian never cares about how handsome others say he is... He doesn't care so much about what he already has.

Another example is that there is a shortage of money in rainy days, so rainy days dream of winning 500 million... No, 500 million is a little less, and after paying a tax, there is not much left. In better places, you can't even afford a house, let alone Not to mention supporting high-quality life!It's still 5000 million... No, since it's all a dream, let's just go to [-] million...

Well, even on a rainy day, I dream of winning the [-] million super lottery!

People are almost like this, what is lacking and thinking.

Those who are wealthy but not well-known, who are not short of money, are short of fame... So many people will find ways to get closer to the upper class in the traditional sense after they have money...

Song Erniu is a very vulgar person, and he cannot avoid this vulgarity. Of course, his thinking should be more rational and realistic.

On the one hand, he wanted to integrate the American high society to satisfy his own psychological satisfaction. On the other hand, the more important reason was to develop and expand the personal connections in the high society, to protect his business, and even to seek more Many opportunities for development.

A lot of business information, you may not have even heard of it if you don’t enter that circle, but once you enter that circle, you will find that this information is almost an open secret in the upper circle.

And this information has great commercial value for Song Erniu!
Song Erniu felt very good about the daughter of the Chen family in Yingzhou after a blind date meeting on an outing, so he was in a good mood on the way back.

On the other side, the daughter of the Chen family from Yingzhou sat in the same carriage with Chen Yuanxiang's wife on the return trip. When Chen Yuanxiang's wife asked her what she thought of Song Erniu, the daughter of the Chen family did not answer immediately. , not to mention the shy look of the girl in the novel when asked about emotional affairs, but after thinking for a while, she said: "I feel good, I look very stable, and the rules of speaking are clear, but I am too confident in what I say. Some,!"

Chen Yuanxiang's wife also nodded slightly: "I think it's pretty much the same. I can't find anything wrong with what I say and do. No wonder I was able to create such a big foundation in America."

"As for self-confidence, how many of these self-made people are not confident?"

After hearing this, the daughter of the Chen family lowered her head slightly!
Chen Yuanxiang's wife continued: "Not to mention anything else, but this person's career ability is very good, at least you don't have to worry about him going bankrupt in the future..."

Speaking of bankruptcy, Chen Yuanxiang's wife even let out a sigh.

My husband is a typical son of the Pianpian family: he has a good family background, good knowledge, good education, and is handsome. He meets the ideals of thousands of young girls in every way, but...these are useless.

Back then, I was so blind that I married such a man, with a proper embroidered pillow, no skills at all, poor academic performance, repeated studies for several years and couldn't even get into a junior college... so naturally I couldn't get an official career.

After all, if he is forced to become an official with a technical secondary school degree, with his degree, family connections and even help from his father-in-law's family, there is a high probability that he will be the seventh-rank leader for the rest of his life.

It's not as good as the master of the Chen family who eats and waits to die every day, that is, the father of Chen Yuanxiang. When he retires, there is a high probability that he will be able to become an official with a rank of six or so.

In desperation, Chen Yuanxiang gave up his studies to take over the family business, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even keep the family business.

In the end, she had to sell her dowry to keep her family decent.

Years ago, she never dreamed that she would become the ghost she is now... But it is not without chance of salvation.

As long as the sister-in-law in front of me successfully marries that shabby rich man, the family's situation will improve greatly... At least there will be no need to continue selling the dowry.

They have already made a promise through Big Brother Song that as long as the marriage is achieved, they will inject capital into the Chen family textile company and then help the Chen family run the business.

In addition, the Chen family will also be allowed to invest in local companies. Although it is only a small amount of shares that can only get dividends, the future profits will definitely be a lot... After all, you can despise Song Erniu for his low background and his crude and humble behavior. , but you can't deny his earning power!

How could one start from scratch and become worth millions in just eight years without any real skills?
This is millions of dollars earned from self-made!

Song Erniu has real skills and can make money. This is the consensus reached by the whole Chen family, and it is also the core factor why the Chen family is willing to marry Song Erniu.

To put it bluntly, as long as the two parties can get married smoothly, even if Song Erniu gives them a casual hand, this decent life can come back.

Based on the current situation of the Chen family, Song Erniu's financial resources and ability, the marriage between the two parties is a foregone conclusion.

As for what her sister-in-law thinks, whether she is willing or not, it doesn't really matter anymore...

But after all, they are from their own family, and they will not force the sister-in-law to marry her if she doesn't want to... They are a decent family and cannot afford to be embarrassed.

So I started persuading early on. From Chen's mother to her sister-in-law, they have been persuading again and again, bit by bit changing the views of the Chen family's daughter-in-law towards Song Erniu, and reducing her resistance to Song Erniu who is getting rich. , and at the same time kept talking about the difficulties at home.

In the end, the daughter of the Chen family is willing, and it is best to marry happily!

So, good for everyone!
