The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Pei Youwen quickly brought Zhou Cha to the office. After helping to open the door, he stepped out to give the two leaders time to talk.

The door closed with a click.

Chen Yuan quickly poured her tea and put on a full smile that was not fake at all. He was sincerely thanking her from the bottom of his heart.

"Where is Sister Cha going on this business trip? You actually had time to pass by Linzhou. I didn't receive your call, but I still asked you to make a special trip. I'm so embarrassed..."

Chen Yuan scratched his head, but he didn't look embarrassed. Instead, he looked like he had gotten an advantage and was taking advantage of it - it was a good thing that he didn't have to go all the way to Kyoto to express his gratitude.

The day before yesterday, he was thinking about taking the two sisters to meet his parents, and then he would find Zhou Cha to thank him in person.

He is not without conscience.

Sister Cha is half an elder to Chen Yuan. They have known each other for so many years, so there is no need for him to be hypocritical to her like he does to other leaders.

Acting nice actually makes you seem more friendly.

"I think you're very busy at work. You probably haven't even had a meal since the meeting," Zhou Cha pursed his lips and sat on the sofa. "You have the same personality as your father, so in order not to delay your work, I took the initiative to come and see you."

"It's okay, I'll go eat later. By the way, Sister Cha, I haven't asked you yet, did your brother-in-law have the surgery? Was it successful? How is his health now?"

Zhou Cha had told him this once before, but he didn’t expect Chen Yuan to remember it.

At the beginning of the conversation, Zhou Cha was stunned by the sudden question, and then she raised her face and smiled:
"It's already been done. We invited a very famous specialist in Kyoto. The operation was very successful. He is now resting at home."

"Then I will definitely go and see it when I have time and buy some supplements for my brother-in-law."

"Don't do that, Xiaoyuan. I'm sure your brother-in-law will be very touched by your kindness. What else do you need to give? We don't need that. Look at you. You have only been in society for a short time and you have learned to be so smart. Your father will definitely be surprised if he knows."

"No," Chen Yuan said shyly, changing the subject, "Where is Sister Cha going on this business trip?"

"I went to Kailin City to monitor a project. There was an accident there and it has been delayed for several days. Mr. Jiang was worried about letting someone else go. I was sent here just after I finished your brother-in-law's surgery."

"You're so busy. It's not easy for you to be with my dad, Sister Cha."

Zhou Cha waved her hand. She had long been accustomed to this high-intensity work mode.

A girl from a poor family, she was able to work in Kyoto, and after years of hard work, she bought her own house and had a happy marriage. What was important to her was to be needed by the company and to be able to create indispensable value, so that she could continue to live with peace of mind.

Being busy is not necessarily a bad thing.

"I won't waste your time. I'm here for something else."

Zhou Cha smiled at Chen Yuan, took the bag that was placed aside, and began to search inside. As she searched, she said calmly:

"I think you have guessed it. I came to see you at the instruction of President Jiang, not just on a business trip." She stroked her short hair and said softly, "Congratulations, Xiaoyuan. I heard that you are getting engaged."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was stunned.

"You know, Sister Cha?"

"Of course I know. Time flies. I still remember the time when you transferred to Kyoto and we first met. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. I feel like it hasn't been long at all. You have grown from a little boy to a grown man now, and you are even going to start your own family... Life is incredible."

"I didn't expect it to happen so soon, but who knew I would meet Ningning and Yaoyao..."

Chen Yuan scratched his head.

Then, he watched Zhou Cha take out a jewelry box from her bag and place it on the table in front of the sofa.

It opens with a click.

Suddenly, two mutton-fat jade bracelets came into view, emitting a moist glow.

"I don't have anything good to give you, sister. I bought this pair of bracelets from a boss when I went on a business trip to Zhuzhou a few years ago. I took advantage of Mr. Jiang's influence and bought them. Ningning and Yaoyao happened to have one each, so they can be considered an engagement gift from me."

"Sister Cha, this is absolutely not possible—"

Chen Yuan widened his eyes slightly and immediately wanted Zhou Cha to take it back, but he didn't expect the other party to just shake his head and interrupt him.

"Listen to me first," Zhou Cha took out a document and said calmly, "The gift is secondary. What's really important is what your father asked me to bring to you. He couldn't say it to your face."

"What...he has something to tell me?"

"You are about to get engaged. As your biological father, he will of course consider things for you. Xiaoyuan, do you remember the last time you went to Kyoto to play basketball with him, you mentioned marrying the two girls from the Jiang family? Although your father was very dissatisfied at the time and had some complaints about your idea, he has actually known about your relationship all along... He has known about it for about half a year." Zhou Cha sighed and continued, "He talks tough, but he is actually willing to respect your ideas. Whether it is getting engaged on your behalf or helping you consider future matters, he has thought about it carefully. There are currently two more suitable plans. Listen to them. They can solve the current problem once and for all."

"Is it a question of marriage?"

"That's right. Although it's not allowed by law, it has a complete process and feasibility. Your father has asked someone to arrange it for you," Zhou Cha took out a document and stared into Chen Yuan's eyes. "After all, China has a relatively traditional ideology. Although no matter how many you marry, with our power, your future life will not be affected, but the grudge in your heart is the key. So you can be sent to Qatar in the next 1 to 3 years. There is support for polyandry. We, Jiang's, have very close cooperation with this country. Many energy sources are purchased locally, and it conforms to the development trend of our company headquarters. You also know that our development focus has been abroad in recent years. The sky is high and the sea is vast outside, which is suitable for young people to venture out. It can be said to be a one-time solution, and both career and family can be taken care of."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was a little shocked, his eyes were full of thought.

Zhou Cha continued, "Going abroad is not the only solution. Your father only has you as his son, so I advised him to make preparations for both scenarios. It's quite dangerous out there, and the security conditions in China are simply incomparable. So the second option..."

She took out two more documents and placed them in front of Chen Yuan for him to see.

"The one I have on hand is your personal household registration information and birth certificate. The date of birth, the hospital of birth, and the local household registration are all correct, as they are the 20th day of the first lunar month of the millennium. The only difference is the name on it, which is Jiang Yuan."

"Isn't this the household registration my father found when I went to school in Kyoto?"

"That's right. The one on the table is the household registration in Qishui County that your adoptive parents asked someone to get after they adopted you. Otherwise, you would be an illegal resident and couldn't go to school there. It also lists your date of birth and the hospital where you were born in detail, without any problems... Normally, after finding you, this household registration should have been cancelled at the Household Registration Bureau, but your father thought it over and didn't cancel it in order to protect your identity. It just happens to be useful now."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Zhou Cha was talking about and why she came here.

"With these two household registrations, you can stay in China and marry the two sisters of the Jiang family under different names and identities, and it is legal and compliant. Of course, the most important thing is that to the outside world and the law, this marriage also has a legal basis and is protected by the law, and you don't have to go to Qatar, a place where you are unfamiliar with it."

The sudden news took Chen Yuan a long time to recover.

He didn't expect that.

The things that I have been worrying about and unable to solve, my biological father has already thought through and given a perfect answer with his own energy.

No matter which one he chooses, it can solve the current problem that the marriage is not recognized by fact and law.

Before this.

Jiang Zhengfeng never mentioned it once, just let him do whatever he wanted without interfering.

In fact, no one treated him as an immature child. For every decision he made and every idea he considered, whether it was Chen's father or Jiang Zhengfeng, they would think about and pave the way for him after learning about his ideas, until he was truly sure of his own feelings and was no longer at a loss and wavering.

In other words, he has always been deeply loved and embraced by his family.

After his brain processed all the information belatedly and sorted out all these things clearly, Chen Yuan came back to his senses.

"I thought they always thought my ideas were unrealistic..."

"There are many unrealistic ideas. The key is to find your true heart." Zhou Cha looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Xiao Yuan, no matter what, as long as you don't regret it in the future, don't blame yourself for making the wrong choice."

"Is this what my father meant, or is this what you said, Sister Cha?"

"You understand everything, so there's no need to ask me."

After she finished speaking, she put away two important household registration information and the company headquarters' recommendation on whether Comrade Jiang Yuan, the general manager of the northern region, should be sent to Qatar for development and a report on his career prospects, and put them into a file bag.

Zhou Cha stood up and picked up her purse.

She stretched out her hand and smiled sweetly.

"The wedding date is approaching, sister wishes you a happy engagement in advance."

"Thank you, sister. I'll take you there."

Zhou Cha shook his head and looked at Chen Yuan, whose eyes were a little sore and who obviously had not fully recovered.

"No need to send me off. Think carefully about what you should do. For your career and future family, going abroad is the right decision. That's all I have to say."

After a while.

The sound of "tapping" high heels walking in the corridor.

Secretary Zhou's beautiful, smart and capable figure turned the corner and disappeared into the office building.

The office door remained open.

Chen Yuan leaned against his desk, staring at the file bag on the desk, blankly. (End of this chapter)
