Chapter 1238: Abuse of Power for Personal Gain
Mrs. Tong said, "This child has a good personality. I like her very much."
Shen Qingchuan smiled and said, "How about being the daughter-in-law of the Tong family? Is she acceptable to you two?"
The couple of the Tong family looked at each other, and Mrs. Tong gave Mr. Tong a look, and the latter spoke, "We have a good impression of Tian Tian. This child is generous and decent, and she speaks very tactfully. You have told me all her personal information and family background. We have also checked it ourselves and have a good idea. If the two children can get along, as long as the Tian family does not ask too much, the betrothal gift and wedding will be fine. They can give the dowry as they like. We have no requirements."
"We only have this one son. We will never be petty and wrong the woman in marriage. You can rest assured about this. What we are worried about now is that Xiaoyuan is unwilling. You can see his attitude at the table just now. I am afraid that he will find an excuse to send Tian Tian away when he goes out."
Shen Qingchuan smiled He smiled, "Mr. Tong, as long as you are satisfied with Tian Tian, I will let Tian Tian get along with Master Tong. As for how they get along and to what extent, it depends on the two of them. Don't put pressure on Tong Yuan, and don't ask too much about their progress. Just wait for good news."
Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong looked at each other. Mrs. Tong took a deep breath and said bluntly, "Qingchuan, we trust you very much. Our Tong family must marry in an open and aboveboard manner. You must understand this."
Shen Qingchuan picked up the wine glass, "Mrs. Tong, don't worry. The Tian family has integrity and will never use those despicable means. If she does, the Tian family will not recognize her without the Tong family asking."
Shen Qingchuan sent Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong away, saying that they would let the two young people get along alone. After all, with the elders present, they were still embarrassed to talk about some things. He and Tang Xiaoxiao would watch nearby and be responsible for sending the two home.
Coming out of the bathroom, Tang Xiaoxiao wiped her hands and said, "What does Mrs. Tong mean by marrying in an open and aboveboard manner?"
Shen Qingchuan said, "It means that if Tian Tian wants to marry them by getting pregnant before marriage, they will not recognize her."
"There are too many cases of unmarried pregnancies in wealthy families, such as Gu Jingyan's father. Even if they don't care about family background, they don't want to be controlled by a woman with a child. Zhong Meilan is lucky that Gu Jingyan's father is willing to take responsibility. Who in a wealthy family needs a woman to give birth to a child? Too naive. They don't care about having a few more illegitimate children outside. They just want to give them some care. Alimony, as for the family property, don't even think about it. "
Shen Qingchuan threw the tissue that Tang Xiaoxiao had used to wipe her hands into the trash can next to her, and took his hand, "Being pregnant before marriage, whether it's for money or love, is a gamble on a man's conscience, and men have the least conscience."
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "You're not a man?"
Shen Qingchuan laughed softly, "I'm a man, and I don't have a conscience, so at any time, I have to keep a trump card for myself. Even if love is gone, there is still money."
Tang Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy, "Are you giving me a shot of prevention? If you change your mind in the future, you might as well not be together!"
She shook off Shen Qingchuan's hand.
The latter tried to hold her hand, but she refused to let him touch her.
Shen Qingchuan sighed and apologized to her in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I just said what I felt. If you are unhappy, I won't say it again."
Tang Xiaoxiao said with a straight face, "I am not as smart as you, but I am not stupid. If you really change your mind, I will definitely find someone to catch you and make you leave the house!"
Shen Qingchuan was happy and pinched his throat and said, "My wife, you are so cruel."
Tang Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "There is something even more cruel. When you die, I will dig out your ashes and move them to a place where no one is, so that others can't find them. Then no one will burn paper money for you during Qingming Festival, and you will be a poor ghost in the underworld!"
Shen Qingchuan laughed even more happily, "I am so disgusted that I can't bear to scatter my ashes, and I have to hide them privately for myself to see."
Tang Xiaoxiao...
"You are really looking for sugar in shit."
A few days later, the preliminary results of the perfume competition were announced. There were a total of 17 perfumers who registered for the preliminary round of Caline. Two of them withdrew for some reason, and the remaining 15 all advanced.
Su Wanqin praised the event highly at the meeting and paid out of her own pocket to set up a prize pool of 6 million yuan. The champion will receive a reward of 5 million yuan, and the other top ten finalists will each receive a reward of 200,000 yuan.
This news made everyone particularly excited. After all, how can verbal rewards be as real as tangible material rewards?
Seeing Han Ruoxing had been keeping her eyes down and not speaking, Su Wanqin called her, "Ruoxing, you should also say a few words to encourage everyone."
Han Ruoxing raised her eyes and smiled, "Boss Su lost 6 million to make the prize pool, so I will make up 10 million with 4 million. The champion of the competition can get 8 million, and the rest will be rewarded with 200,000 each as long as they advance to the top ten. The top 10 to 20 will be rewarded with 100,000 each. If the champion is not from our company, the 8 million prize pool will be postponed to the next perfume competition, and the award rules will be re-drafted at that time."
The prize pool has been expanded and the difficulty has been reduced. Everyone is more excited. The scene is lively and noisy. Han Ruoxing continued, "But I have a suggestion."
Everyone quieted down and looked at her. Han Ruoxing smiled, "My suggestion is that no matter what results Team Leader Song has achieved, he will not participate in the division of the prize pool."
After speaking, Song Jiayu's face became ugly, "Why can't I take it? Han Ruoxing, are you seeking revenge?"
Han Ruoxing said softly, "Team Leader Song has wronged me. We are family, how can there be any hatred? I think that President Su set up such an award to encourage everyone to win a good ranking. If it is Team Leader Song who wins the championship and takes away 8 million, it will inevitably make people think that our award is set up for personal gain, so I thought of excluding Team Leader Song from the award to avoid suspicion."
Song Jiayu said angrily, "Avoid suspicion? I think you are deliberately targeting me!"
Han Ruoxing sighed, "I sincerely made this suggestion. Let's do this. This award was originally given to the contestants this time. Fifteen people advanced to the preliminary round. Otherwise, let these fifteen colleagues vote. If more than half of them agree with my proposal, then follow the proposal. President Su, what do you think?"
Han Ruoxing kicked the ball to Su Wanqin.
Song Jiayu was furious, "Stop mobilizing the masses here!"
Han Ruoxing smiled, "The masses are naturally discerning."
Song Jiayu had lost so much money from Zhong Meilan before, and she was not well-off, so she naturally wanted the eight million. Maybe it was Su Wanqin who gave it to her in the name of the competition.
Su Wanqin always gave Song Jiayu as much as she gave him in front of Song Wanqian, and she was fair. If the eight million came from no reason, wouldn't it ruin her image?
Han Ruoxing put down the teacup and looked at Su Wanqin, "Mr. Su, do you want to vote?" (End of this chapter)
