Ch. 981..990
Chapter 981: 981 Not Hiring
....
“Hey, are you a graduate student or a PhD student?” The girl beside him asked.
Chen Yao was speechless. Why was she so talkative? Don’t you know not to ask things you shouldn’t ask? Fortunately, Chen Yao’s undergraduate university was very famous, which made Chen Yao dare to say the name of her university.
“Oh, actually, I’m not a graduate student. I’m just an undergraduate who just graduated.” Chen Yao showed them her academic qualifications. “Look, I’m really an undergraduate.”
When the interviewees saw Chen Yao’s academic qualifications, they didn’t know what to say. Some of them had a master’s degree and had some work experience, some had a PhD, and some had both work experience and qualifications.
When they saw that Chen Yao only had a bachelor’s degree, everyone was unhappy. However, they were all smart people. Since Chen Yao could pass the preliminary selection of TR with a bachelor’s degree, it meant that there must be something that allowed her to stand out.
“Capital University?” Some of the interviewees glanced at the words she wrote in the school column. “You’re also a student at Capital University? I remember that the big boss of TR Company is a student at Capital University. She’s also in the Physics Department, right?”
Everyone looked at Chen Yao. Chen Yao touched her face and said embarrassedly, “Hey, don’t look at me like that. I’ll feel embarrassed.”
The boy on Chen Yao’s right asked, “You’re also from the Physics Department of the Capital University and so is the boss! You two graduated this year. Do you know each other?”
Chen Yao pretended to be in a difficult position. “How can I say that? If I say it, you guys will definitely think that I came in through the back door.”
Although the others thought so, they couldn’t say that in front of Chen Yao. “How could that be? You passed the preliminary test because you have something that they want.”
Another person said, “Yeah, being a student at Capital University is already very impressive. Back then, I wanted to get into the Physics Department at Capital University, but I didn’t get in. When I was taking the postgraduate examination, I also failed. I thought that I would never be able to get into Capital University in this life. I didn’t expect to meet an outstanding graduate from Capital niversity. I’m really too lucky.”
When one person complimented her, a group of people complimented her. Today, ten people came for the interview, but half of them came to praise Chen Yao.
The girl next to Chen Yao said, “If we can all be hired, then we must help each other!” She had already determined that Chen Yao knew the big boss of TR Company, so she wanted to make sure to be friends with Chen Yao now. In the future, when they all entered the company, she would definitely benefit from this.
“That’s for sure,” Chen Yao said with a smile.
She loved the feeling of being surrounded by others. When she was in university, she didn’t have many people around her. Only a few people from average families were willing to be friends with her, and their relationships weren’t strong.
She didn’t expect that she would receive so many people’s attention just for an interview today. This feeling was really wonderful.
There were also people who couldn’t stand Chen Yao. “Heh, I wonder what achievements you have that can actually show us other than being friends with the big boss.”
Chen Yao heard this discordant voice, but she was in a good mood. She did not want to argue with these people who were jealous of her. ‘Why should I tell you about my achievements? What achievements have you made?”
The girl said coldly, “First of all, I graduated with a Ph.D. degree. Secondly, I published many papers when I was an undergraduate. I published the paper ‘Reverse Connection of Conductors’. I also participated in many projects during my university days. Two of them were in cooperation with TL. This is only a part of it. I won’t say anything else.”
She looked at Chen Yao, indicating that she wanted Chen Yao to tell her about her achievements. Chen Yao couldn’t say much. She had been busy earning money during her university days. How could she have the time to do any research?
“There’s nothing that you can say now right?” The girl said arrogantly, “I can’t stand people like you who come in through the back door. If people like you pass the interview of TR, then I doubt that this is even a good company. Even if they invited me, I wouldn’t come.”
Chen Yao was very angry. “Just wait to be chased out!”
The girl was not afraid. She faced Chen Yao directly. “I’m waiting.”
Chapter 982: 982 Quite Lively
....
Tan Rou knew everything that had happened in the waiting room. She was watching it from the computer in the interview room. Other than the toilet, the company had installed high-definition cameras that could record sounds. She knew everything that was happening outside.
“This interviewee is quite interesting.” Tan Rou finally spoke up.” Her personality is a little like my best friend, Li Li. Li Li also has the same personality. If she doesn’t like someone, she will scold that person directly. It’s so fun.”
The HR manager also smiled. “Then your friend must be an interesting person!”
She accompanied Tan Rou as they watched the surveillance footage for the past hour. Tan Rou was patient. During this hour, she did not say a word and quietly handled the documents while watching the surveillance footage.
“Do you have the information of this interviewee?” Tan Rou pointed at the angry girl on the computer screen and asked.
“Yes, yes.” The HR manager had already read the information of the ten interviewees in advance, so she knew everyone’s situation. “Her name is Wei Yu. She’s the most outstanding person among this batch of interviewees.”
Tan Rou nodded. “Alright, pass them to me.”
At this moment, the sound of Chen Yao and Wei Yu quarreling could be heard from the surveillance camera. It wasn’t just the two of them, there were other voices as well.
Chen Yao told Wei Yu to quit as soon as possible, since she would never be hired by TR Company. Wei Yu said that Chen Yao was trash. If other people wanted to curry favor with Chen Yao, they would definitely be led astray by her. The other voices were the voices of someone speaking up for Chen Yao.
Tan Rou smiled again. “It’s quite lively.”
The HR manager’s heart tightened. Chen Yao hadn’t even entered the company yet, and there were already so many people speaking up for her. Wouldn’t she form a small group after she entered the company?! The company hated it when people formed cliques. She felt that these people were probably going to be eliminated.
She thought about it carefully. Maybe the big boss didn’t want Chen Yao to join the company at all. If the big boss wanted to recruit Chen Yao into the company, she would have hired them personally.
“Pay attention! Don’t hire any of these people.” Tan Rou pointed at the few people who were speaking up for Chen Yao and said, “Take a look at the others. If they are suitable, hire them. If they are not suitable, dismiss them all. We at TR would rather not be able to recruit anyone than lowering our requirements for those who are not capable!”
The HR manager’s expression became very serious. “Yes, boss!”
When it was quiet outside, Tan Rou asked someone to go out and give them new number tags. This time, the number tags weren’t random. They were given according to Tan Ron’s instructions. For those who Tan Rou didn’t want to hire, she gave them useless number tags.
Chen Yao didn’t understand. “Why are you giving us these plates again?”
“Our manager was the one who first gave them out. Our boss saw it and felt that it was inappropriate, so she changed it to a new number plate.”
Upon hearing that it was the number plate given by the boss, the interviewees immediately had no objections because they would soon be able to see the legendary big boss behind the scenes of TR Company. It was really exciting.
At first, Chen Yao was still wondering why a new number tag was given out, but when she heard that it was Tan Rou who gave out the number tag, she was relieved. Tan Rou must have wanted her to pass the interview, so she gave them a new number tag.
The first person to enter was Wei Yu, who had just quarreled with her. Chen Yao rolled her eyes at Wei Yu and muttered, “Heh, with Tan Rou backing me up, you’re dead meat!”
“What are you talking about?” The person next to her asked Chen Yao.
Chen Yao smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just trying to recall my interview skills.” It was an interview technique that she had copied from the Internet at the last minute. Everyone said that it was very useful, so she took it and used it.
That person thought that Chen Yao’s interview skills were secretly given to her by the CEO of TR Company, so he also asked her about the skills. Chen Yao didn’t have any skills to begin with, so she didn’t mind telling others the skills she copied from the Internet, so she said it.
When Wei Yu came out of the interview, Chen Yao was still spreading her interview experience.
When Chen Yao saw Wei Yu come out, she immediately ended her class and turned to ask Wei Yu, “Hey, are your interview questions difficult?”
“This has nothing to do with you,” Wei Yu glared at her and snapped.
Chapter 983: 983 Wasting Time
....
Chen Yao looked at her angry expression and knew that she must have failed the interview. So she laughed mockingly. “It seems that your good achievements didn’t get you through the interview at TR.”
“It has nothing to do with you!” Wei Yu was still feeling upset, but when she was annoyed by Chen Yao, she got angry. “Trash like you will never get into TR. Talking to you is a waste of my time.”
Chen Yao’s eyes widened. “Who are you calling trash?”
“You are…” Wei Yu was just about to argue with Chen Yao when he heard the HR manager’s words behind him.
“Wei Yu, don’t forget what Big Boss told you just now,” the HR manager reminded her.
Wei Yu was stunned for a moment, then he put on a listless expression. “Okay, I understand.” She picked up her things and slowly walked out of the waiting room.
Chen Yao was delighted to see that. “Oh? Did she get eliminated?” she asked.
A cold smile flashed across the corner of the HR manager’s lips. She was really out of her mind. How could she think that their boss wanted Chen Yao to enter the company? She didn’t even like Chen Yao, who was stupid and didn’t know how to read people’s expressions. How could the boss like her?
“I’m not too sure about that.” The HR manager said politely, “I’m not the main interviewer today. It’s our boss. She’s the one who makes the final decision, so I don’t know who will pass the interview.”
“Then Tan Rou… Did Big Boss say to let me in?” Chen Yao asked again.
The HR manager knew Chen Yao, but she still pretended not to know her. “Who are you?”
“You don’t even know me?” Chen Yao asked in surprise.
The HR manager frowned. “I don’t. Who are you?”
Chen Yao frowned and thought for a moment. Tan Rou definitely wouldn’t let many people know that she opened the back door for her, so it was normal for her not to tell others about this. Moreover, if she had told others, she probably wouldn’t have come for the interview today. Someone else would help her do it.
“Oh, oh.” Chen Yao smiled. “It’s nothing. I was just asking casually. Since you don’t know me, then forget it.”
The HR manager looked at her and then went to the side to call someone else.
After interviewing five candidates, Tan Rou didn’t call anyone else in. Chen Yao was a little anxious. Although she had already been internally selected by Tan Rou, she still needed to go through a process. Otherwise, how could she convince others?
“Why haven’t you called us in yet?” It’s already n o’clock,” The boy next to Chen Yao said. “If we don’t get an interview soon, we’ll have to get off work.”
He patted Chen Yao’s shoulder. “Hey, don’t you know the Boss of TR? Why don’t you send her a message and ask her when the interview will end?”
Chen Yao didn’t have Tan Ron’s WeChat at all. She only had her phone number, but because she had called too many times before, Tan Rou had long blocked her, so her phone couldn’t be reached.
However, Chen Yao would not say that she could not contact Tan Rou. She only said perfunctorily, “She’s busy with the interview now. Even if I send her a message, she won’t have time to reply to me.”
As if he was deliberately trying to expose Chen Yao’s lie, the HR manager came out and said to the remaining interviewees, “I’m sorry. Today’s interview has ended. If there are no interviewees, you can leave. There’s no need to wait any longer.”
This caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied. They started to make a scene in the waiting room. “We’ve waited for so long, and you’re telling us that we don’t get to go in for the interview?!”
The HR manager waited for them to finish arguing before calmly saying, “It seems that you guys don’t know the rules of our TR. We despise those who make up cliques of our own. You guys haven’t even joined TR and you’re already trying to curry favor with others. If you guys enter the company, the company’s atmosphere will be ruined by you guys.”
“I didn’t form a clique,” the few of them argued. “When did you see us form a clique?”
The HR manager pointed at the surveillance camera and said, “We can hear and see everything you say and do inside. There’s nothing much left for you to say.”
“What about me?” Chen Yao asked nervously.
The HR manager smiled at her and said, “Our boss said that talking to you is a waste of her time. So, you don’t have to go for the interview. You can go straight back.”
Chapter 984: 984 So?
....
Chen Yao was extremely dissatisfied. She kept clamoring to see Tan Ron. “No, I won’t accept this outcome. Get Tan Rou out. I want to talk to her personally!”
The HR manager almost laughed to death. Their boss was so busy, how could he have time to come out and see her?
“I’m sorry, our boss said she doesn’t have time to deal with you.” the HR manager said.
Chen Yao and the others started to make a scene, all of them werelooking for Tan Rou for an explanation.
The HR manager didn’t want these people to make a mess of the entire HR department, so he turned on the computer beside him. “Since you guys don’t want to give up, I’ll show you the evidence. You’ll see if you’ve formed a small group soon.”
When the surveillance footage was released, the others finally understood why they were eliminated. It was all Chen Yao’s fault!
The girl who was praising Chen Yao just now wanted to slap Chen Yao to death. “So you’re the one who dragged us along! Do you know how much effort I put in for today’s interview? I experimented day and night and finally produced a decent finished product. I also successfully passed the initial test. I didn’t expect it to be destroyed by your hands. I’m going to kill you!”
The HR manager made a gesture, and the crazy girl was dragged out by the staff waiting at the side. Although the others did not dare to hit Chen Yao, they still scolded her very badly. If it were not for the people from TR company watching, they would have skinned Chen Yao directly.
Chen Yao was confused and angry. She didn’t know why things had turned out this way. Tan Rou was the one who had asked her to come, but why did she have to eliminate her at the end? Was he playing with her?
The door to the interview room opened, and Tan Rou came out with a stack of documents. Those who came for the interview finally got to see the big boss they wanted to see, but the timing was not right.
When Chen Yao saw Tan Rou, she pushed away the boy who was scolding her and rushed to Tan Rou. When Tan Rou saw her running over angrily, she stood at the door and waited for her.
“Tan Rou, what do you mean?” Chen Yao questioned. “Wiry did you let me come for the interview but leave me outside?”
“Did I askyou to come for the interview?” Tan Rou asked in puzzlement. “Why did you say that?”
Chen Yao said, “All the companies in the Capital are not willing to accept my application letter, only TR Company accepted it. If it wasn’t you, who else could it be?”
Tan Rou was really innocent. This was done by Zhuang Liu and had nothing to do with her. If Zhuang Liu hadn’t leaked this matter, Chen Yao probably wouldn’t even be able to get into the interview at TR Company.
“I don’t know. I didn’t do this,” Tan Rou said calmly. “Don’t make a fuss here.”
“Tan Rou, did you do this on purpose? You despise me. You think that my family is poor and I’m not worthy of being your friend. So you’re picking on me everywhere, right?!”
Tan Rou admired Chen Yao’s imagination. She simply didn’t like Chen Yao and didn’t think too much about it.
“So? What can you do to me?” Tan Rou asked with a smile.
The HR manager snickered. It was the first time she had seen her boss so humorous after working in the company for so long.
“You…” Chen Yao could not complete her sentence for a long time.
“Even if I did it, you can’t do anything to me. I know what you’ve been up to behind my back these past few years, but I don’t want to argue with you. In fact, I don’t understand why you dared to send your resume to my company. If I remember correctly, our relationship isn’t that good, right?”
“Since you don’t want me to pass the interview, why did you ask me to come?” Chen Yao asked.
Tan Rou pointed at the last page of the application form and said, “The seventh rule clearly states that you are not allowed to form cliques. You didn’t read it yourself. Can you blame me? To be honest, I didn’t even see your preliminary interview. It was all screened by all the colleagues in the human resources department. I didn’t see it, so I didn’t deliberately askyou to come over.”
The other interviewees also looked at the rules at the back. They had seen it at that time, but they had not paid attention to it. They did not expect it to be so important! If they had known that it would be so serious, they definitely wouldn’t have said a word to Chen Yao.
Chapter 985: 985 Classmates
....
“Tan Ron, can’t you help me find a good job since we’re classmates?” Chen Yao saw that she couldn’t use force, so she quickly changed her attitude.
“You know that my family’s financial situation isn’t good. My parents have used up all the money in the family for me to go to university. If I can’t find a good job after graduation, they will definitely be very sad.
“For so many years, they had to be tortured by the Lan family while also relying on the Lan family to survive. Back then, when the Lan family went bankrupt, they also lost their jobs.”
Chen Yao said sadly, “In order to make ends meet, they have to do odd jobs but the money they earn is too little. After paying the rent and water bill, there’s not much left. It’s not easy for them!”
“Ha!” Tan Rou didn’t sympathize with Chen Yao’s family at all. “Is it because of me that your parents aren’t easy? Their living conditions are poor because they don’t work hard enough and always want to follow others!”
When the Lan family went bankrupt, Tan Rou had also paid attention to Chen Yao’s family situation. She wouldn’t have known if she didn’t see it herself but she was shocked when she saw it. It turned out that Chen Yao’s parents were parasitic on the Lan family. Their daughter, Chen Yao, was about the same age as Lan Nie, so Lan Nie’s parents asked Chen Yao to come over to accompany them.
Chen Yao and Lan Nie grew up together, and Lan Ning grew up together with them. Lan Ning’s family was also very poor, but they didn’t live off the Lan family.
After realizing that the Lan family was not suitable for them to live in, Lan Ning’s parents left with Lan Ning and her sister. In the past few years, Lan Ning’s parents had also opened a business and their life has been mediocre.
Lan Ning was also very hardworking. In April of this year, she received an admission letter from Capital University and she would return to study in September.
During the summer break, Lan Ning didn’t have time to rest. She found a few tutoring jobs in her hometown. She had been busy making money for herself.
“You and Lan Ning have been classmates for more than ten years and grew up together. Why is Lan Ning’s life better than yours now? Haven’t you thought about this problem yourself?”
Tan Rou said mercilessly, “Because you’re unwilling to put in any effort. You always want to take shortcuts. Your parents think the same way, right? Let me tell you, there are no shortcuts in this world!”
Chen Yao didn’t say a word after she heard that. She glared at Tan Rou fiercely, then took her things and left. The other interviewees also left. They did not dare to offend Tan Rou. If they offended Tan Rou, they might not be able to survive in the Capital in the future.
“Fools!” Tan Rou commented. There was one more thing she didn’t tell Chen Yao, and that was that the clothes Chen Yao wore today disgusted her. The last person who liked to wear blue clothes had already been sentenced to death.
After everyone left, the HR manager walked up and asked, “Boss, do you need me to send a message to Wei Yu?”
“Yeah, sure.” Tan Rou was very satisfied with Wei Yu’s ability, but she still needed to change her personality. It wasn’t a good habit to quarrel whenever something happened. “Tell her that if she wants to work at TR, she should stop showing off her achievements. Those achievements are not enough.”
“I understand.” The HR manager nodded.
It was funny. They had heard what Wei Yu said from the surveillance cameras. Although Wei Yu’s achievements were more impressive than the others, in front of Tan Rou, that little achievement was negligible.
Tan Rou was a low-key person. She didn’t like to show off her abilities in front of others, and naturally, she didn’t like her employees bragging about themselves everywhere.
Wei Yu’s talent was not bad, but she was a little arrogant. Arrogant people were often difficult to get along with. If Wei Yu could not correct her shortcomings, even if she entered the TR company, she would not have good development.
Among this group of people, the only person Tan Rou had her eyes on was Wei Yu, so she would recruit Wei Yu. If Wei Yu could change her behavior, then Tan Rou would personally work with Wei Yu and strive to get her to change her bad habits as soon as possible and integrate into the company.
If she couldn’t change, Tan Rou wouldn’t waste her time on her. After all, there were many employees in TR Company, and Tan Rou couldn’t take care of everyone.
Chapter 986: 986 Married?
....
After the job fair ended, Hang Wei returned from his business trip. Tan Rou left most of the work to him, so she had time to meet her boyfriend.
Tan Rou easily entered Zhuang Liu’s company. The employees in the company knew that she was the boss’s fiancee, so they were very friendly to her.
“Miss Tan Rou, CEO Zhuang is in a meeting. Can you wait for him in the office for half an hour?” Zhuang Liu’s secretary said.
Zhuang Liu had a lot of things to deal with, and Xiao Mo couldn’t handle it all by himself. So, besides Xiao Mo, Zhuang Liu also had two secretaries, one male and one female. They handled different things, and Xiao Mo was usually in charge of the two secretaries.
When Tan Rou came over, it was usually this female secretary who would welcome her.
Tan Rou sat on the sofa and said, “Give me a cup of iced coffee with less sugar.”
“Okay,” the secretary said with a smile. “Please wait a moment. I’ll go make the coffee now.”
As soon as the coffee was brewed, Zhuang Liu came out of the meeting. He came out early and looked angry. He looked very unhappy.
“Don’t ever work with such a foreign company again! Find me another agent!” Zhuang Liu said.
“CEO Zhuang, do you have any requirements for the size of the new agency?” Xiao Mo asked as he nodded.
Zhuang Liu said, It must be bigger than before, and it must have a high reputation. The current situation must not happen!”
“Yes, President Zhuang.” Xiao Mo went to have it settled.
Zhuang Liu pushed the door open and returned to the office. He saw Tan Rou sitting on the sofa on the right side of the office, drinking coffee. It seemed like she had been here for a while.
“Xiao Rou, why are you here?” After Zhuang Liu saw Tan Rou, the anger on his face disappeared. He asked with a smile, “Are you free today?”
Tan Rou said, “Yes, Hang Wei is back. I handed over the work to him so that I could spend some time with you. However, I heard you getting angry as soon as I came. Who made you unhappy?”
Zhuang Liu sat next to her and squeezed her palm. “The recording locator pen we worked with previously sold very well in China. In recent years, we have expanded our production and market. Our products have been sold overseas, but this time, there’s a problem with the agent. They used defective products as good products and affected our reputation.”
Tan Rou also hated this kind of behavior. “Are you looking for a new agent?”
Changing agents was a very troublesome matter. If the change was not done well, it would probably affect his business abroad.
“Yes. We can’t work with this agent anymore. We have to find a new agent as soon as possible. I’ve already asked Xiao Mo to do it.”
Tan Rou smiled. “Xiao Mo is exhausted from following you around. He has endless work to do every day, and he doesn’t even have time to find a girlfriend.”
Zhuang Liu was also a little worried for Xiao Mo. “My mom introduced him to a few girls, but Xiao Mo didn’t agree. He said that he wanted to focus on his work first and think about his girlfriend later.”
” When Xiao Mo gets married in the future, you can’t assign so much work to him. Otherwise, his wife will be unhappy. It wasn’t easy for Xiao Mo to find a wife. You can’t ruin her relationship.”
Speaking of marriage, Zhuang Liu could not hide the joy in his heart. He held Tan Ron’s hand and asked, “Rourou, you’ve already graduated from university. So when can we get married?”
Tan Ron’s ears turned red. “Let’s wait a little longer. Although I’ve graduated from university, I still have to study for my master’s and PhD. Let’s wait until I’m done with my student life before getting married.”
Zhuang Liu couldn’t wait any longer. He and Tan Rou had been in a relationship for almost five years. Every day, he wanted to get married to Tan Rou, but Tan Rou was a few years younger than him. He had to wait for Tan Rou to grow up.
Now that Tan Rou had finally graduated from university, she was going to study for her master’s degree. After she graduated, she still had to take the PhD examination. Year after year, Zhuang Liu was getting old. He was worried that Tan Rou would not like him anymore.
The university was full of young and handsome guys. What if Tan Rou fell in love with someone else?
“Xiao Rou, let’s get married! Let’s go get our marriage certificate first, then hold the wedding, okay?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou thought so too. However, she saw Zhuang Liu’s anxious look and smiled. “We’ll talk about this after I graduate.”
Chapter 987: 987 Someone Else’s Wedding
....
Since Tan Rou had already said so, Zhuang Liu could not say anything else. However, he still did not give up. He had to think of a way to make Tan Rou agree to the idea of getting married first before holding the wedding.
Coincidentally, a business partner had invited Zhuang Liu to attend the wedding. According to the past, Zhuang Liu would only ask Xiao Mo to prepare a gift and would not personally attend. But this time, not only was Zhuang Liu going to go personally, but he was also going to bring his fiancee along.
“Xiao Rou, do you have any spare time? I want you to accompany me to an event.” Zhuang Liu asked Tan Rou for her opinion.
After Tan Rou handed over the work to Hang Wei, she felt much more relaxed, so she had more free time recently. “Sure.”
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Zhuang Liu immediately said, “I’ll pick you up this weekend and take you to a banquet. You have to wear the clothes I prepared for you. Is that okay?”
When she heard about the banquet and clothes, Tan Ron’s thoughts went astray. Before she had sex with Zhuang Liu, her thoughts were still very pure. However, ever since she had role-played with Zhuang Liu a few times, her pure thoughts were gone forever.
“You won’t bring me to that kind of indecent banquet, will you?” Tan Rou asked.
Zhuang Liu was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. “Wiry would I bring you to an indecent banquet? This is a dinner organized by a friend of mine. He strongly requested that I bring my fiancee along. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone.”
Tan Rou blushed. “Alright, alright. I misunderstood. Come and pick me up when the time comes. I’m staying at the old mansion now.”
“Alright.” Zhuang Liu couldn’t hide the smile on his face. He had already planned it out. When the time came, they would sit next to the stage. The bride’s bouquet would be thrown to him and Tan Rou. Then, he could take the opportunity to tell Tan Rou that they could get married.
On a warm afternoon, Tan Rou accompanied Zhuang Liu to the banquet venue. When they arrived, Tan Rou found out that it was an open-air wedding.
Zhuang Liu had worked hard to get her married. He came to attend the wedding outdoors on such a hot day. He was amazing.
“Xiao Rou, what do you think of the environment here?” Zhuang Liu pointed to the lawn next to him and asked Tan Rou, “The grass on this lawn was newly planted this year. They planted it for this wedding.
Tan Rou did see that this lawn was different from other lawns. The grass here was of two colors. One was ordinary green, and the other was brownish-red. Looking at the shape, the brownish-red grass was shaped like a heart.
“Hmm, not bad. The grass here is softer,” Tan Rou commented. “The length of the grass is just right. It’s obvious that they prepared it carefully.”
“Rourou, will we choose an indoor or outdoor wedding?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou replied, “Outdoors. The space inside is too small. The air doesn’t circulate well. I don’t want to hold my wedding inside.”
Zhuang Liu noted it down. “Alright, let’s hold an outdoor wedding. It was best to choose summer for an outdoor wedding. The grass in summer was more beautiful, and the grass could be dotted with some colorful flowers. It’s also warmer in summer, and the lighting will be great too. It’ll look great in the photos.
“That’s true,” Tan Rou replied.
They continued to walk in. When they reached the place near the banquet, there was an awning. A huge cooling fan was blowing around, so even if they were outdoors, it would not be too hot.
Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou were both famous big shots in the Capital. There was no need for Zhuang Liu to introduce himself. He was the head of the Zhuang family, a figure who could call the wind and summon the rain in the city. There were not many people in the city who did not know him.
Tan Rou was different. Initially, she only had the identity of the eldest daughter of the Tao family. However, later on, the others realized that her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tao family was the least worth mentioning among all her identities.
The two of them were closely watched as they walked across the hall. Many people wanted to talk to them, but they were all rejected by Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liu said that they were the only guests who came to attend the wedding and did not want to affect the host’s wedding. The others had no choice but to return to their seats, planning to come over and chat with them after the wedding.
The groom and his father personally came to welcome Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu. The groom’s family only wanted to send out an invitation, but they didn’t expect Zhuang Liu to come to the wedding and even brought along his fiance.
Chapter 988 Holding Flowers
“Mr Zhuang, Miss Tao, I’m very happy to see you two attending my son’s wedding. You must eat more at the banquet!”
“CEO Huang, I wish your beloved son a happy marriage,” Zhuang Liu said with a smile and then gave him their gifts.
After CEO Huang received the gift, he didn’t bear to give it to the person beside him. He kept holding the gift until another guest arrived.
To be honest, all the guests present were envious of CEO Huang. Everyone knew that the head of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Liu, was very busy and would not attend anyone’s wedding. They did not expect Zhuang Liu to be here today.
This was not CEO Huang’s wedding, but CEO Huang’s youngest son’s wedding. CEO Huang’s youngest son did not enter the company and did not care about the family business, so no one understood why Zhuang Liu was so generous to attend the wedding!
Zhuang Liu had only come to the wedding because he wanted Tan Rou to marry him as soon as possible. However, if the truth of this matter were to be known by the various big bosses in the Capital, their jaws would probably drop.
Tan Rou looked around the wedding venue. She quite liked the environment. Moreover, the wedding organizers were attentive and arranged everything nicely. For example, the most difficult thing to solve for an open-air wedding would be the toilet. However, she saw a decorated road sign that stated the location of the mobile toilet nearby, which solved the problem of the guests going to the toilet. There was also the placement of the large cooling fan. It wasn’t too close to the guests, but it ensured that every guest could feel the wind.
Tan Rou secretly noted down everything worth learning. If she and Zhuang Liu wanted to hold an open-air wedding in the summer, these could all be used.
At 12:08, the wedding officially began; it was unknown why they had picked such a specific time. Anyway, it was popular in the Capital to start the wedding at this time. It was said that this way, the newlyweds could be together for a long time.
However, before the bride and groom appeared, a host came out to liven up the atmosphere. It was nothing more than some words of blessing and then a video of the bride and groom’s relationship. Tan Rou was not in the mood to listen. Her gaze was completely attracted by the plate of jelly on the table. It wasn’t that the plate of jelly was beautiful or delicious, but that the small plate of jelly was pink and it looked beautiful.
Seeing that Tan Rou was no longer watching the wedding, Zhuang Liu was very anxious. He leaned into Tan Ron’s ear and said, “Rourou, stop staring at the dishes. Quickly look at the stage. The bride and groom are about to appear.”
He wanted Tan Rou to see the bride and groom appear on the stage and then have the thought of getting married. It would be best if she could get married immediately after dinner.
“Alt Liu, so you’re so interested in the wedding!” Tan Rou said.
“If you like to watch other people get married, then let’s attend a few more other people’s weddings in the future.”
Zhuang Liu’s face turned green. He didn’t like watching someone else’s wedding. He just wanted Tan Rou and him to hold a wedding! There were so many people at the scene, Zhuang Liu couldn’t say it directly, so he could only sit quietly beside Tan Rou and stare at the jelly plate on the table with her.
Tan Rou snickered in her heart. She had long guessed Zhuang Liu’s thoughts, but she did not say anything. She wanted to see what other stupid things Zhuang Liu could do. The head of the Zhuang family, the head of the Zhuang family, would actually do such a childish thing. It was too funny.
Finally, the bride and groom appeared. Zhuang Liu wanted Tan Rou to see the bride and groom say ‘I do’ to each other, so he transferred the plate of beautiful jelly away and let Tan Rou only watch the bride and groom in the stands.
Tan Rou could only smile helplessly at his childish behavior. Then, she looked at the stage.
When it came to the process of the bride throwing the bouquet, the bride’s bouquet was of great significance. Young girls and boys who were not married wanted to snatch it. Those who didn’t have a lover would be able to find one by snatching the bouquet. Those who were not married could get married immediately after grabbing the bouquet.
Zhuang Liu had brought Tan Rou here to catch the bouquet. This was the experience his mother had taught him. She said that she had received a bouquet from her good friend back then, and then she met Zhuang Liu’s father. Not long after, they got married.
Although Zhuang Liu felt that this was a little silly, as long as he could marry Tan Rou, he would do anything.
Chapter 989 Flowers, For You
The bride came to the side of the stage. The stage was already crowded with people who wanted to snatch the flowers. Their eyes were all staring at the flowers as if they were not flowers but rare treasures.
Tan Rou didn’t want to snatch the bouquet. She had received a similar bouquet before, but she didn’t keep it in her hands in the end. Instead, she gave it to someone who wanted it. In Tan Ron’s opinion, holding a bouquet wasn’t that magical. If true happiness was coming, she would still be happy even without a bouquet.
Zhuang Liu was very anxious. He sat upright on the surface, but he was actually very nervous. He really hoped that Tan Rou would snatch the bouquet this time, but from Tan Ron’s expression, she was not interested in the flowers in the bride’s hands at all. Could it be that she did not know the meaning of holding the bouquet?
“I heard that the person who snatches the bouquet can quickly obtain happiness.” Zhuang Liu smiled and said, “If only the flowers could fall into my hands. If the flower falls into my hands, will you be willing to marry me now?”
His voice was not loud, so only he and Tan Rou could hear him.
“You like bouquets?” Tan Rou asked.
“I just think that the bouquet is very interesting, that’s all.” Zhuang Liu did not answer directly.
Tan Rou looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand carefully but did not find anything special about it. “It’s just a bouquet of flowers. It’s almost wilting. What’s the point of it?”
Zhuang Liu insisted, “Rourou, there are so many people waiting to hold the flowers. Do you want to try it?”
Tan Rou smiled. No wonder Zhuang Liu brought her here and kept praising the bouquet. So he wanted her to snatch the bouquet! Since her fiance wanted it, then Tan Rou would just snatch it from him. She had no choice. She had to pamper her fiance even if he was very childish.
“I don’t want to try. That kind of behavior is really too stupid,” Tan Rou said with a smile that was not a smile.
Zhuang Liu was disappointed for a moment. He was really sick in the head. Why would he think of using the wedding to try and influence Tan Rou? Since she did not want to get married now, he would wait a few more years. After all, she had been through so many years. It didn’t matter if Tan Rou had to go to school for a few years.
The bride threw out her bouquet. Tan Rou sensed that the bouquet was aimed at her, so she stood up. The bouquet landed steadily in her hands. After she grabbed the bouquet, she immediately sat down.
When the others saw that she had already snatched the flowers, they could only return to their seats regretfully.
Zhuang Liu saw that she had snatched the flowers and pretended to be calm. “Didn’t you say that snatching the flowers was stupid? Why did you stand up and snatch the flowers?”
Tan Rou smiled. She held the flowers in her hands and handed them to Zhuang Liu. “These flowers are for you, my dear Ah Liu.”
Zhuang Liu didn’t react for a moment. He took the flowers slowly after more than ten seconds. “You want to give them to me?”
“Yes. I heard that the fiancee who receives the bouquet will get married immediately. I think we really need this bouquet,” said Tan Rou with a smile.
Zhuang Liu’s face was filled with a blissful smile. He rarely showed such an expression in public. The last time he showed such a smile was at his engagement ceremony with Tan Rou, but unfortunately, that ceremony was ruined by someone else in the end.
“Wow, I wish you happiness!” There were people constantly blessing them.
The bride and groom heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had already gone through all the wedding procedures. Otherwise, their limelight would definitely be stolen by this other pair instead.
The groom said to the bride, “Thankyou for understanding me.”
The bride said, “Tan Rou is my junior and my idol. I’ve known her since I was in graduate school. I also know that she’ s the big boss of TR. So, even if you didn’t say it today, I would have thrown the bouquet to her.”
The groom grabbed the bride’s hand. “Speaking of which, our fate also came from weddings too. At that time, I was the best man and you were the bridesmaid. The two of us chased after each other under the stage in order to snatch a bouquet. In the end, the flowers were robbed but our love came.”
The bride rebuked, “Who asked you to snatch it from me? However, this bouquet was really magical. It could actually help people obtain happiness. I hope that Tan Rou and her fiance will have a happy marriage.”
Chapter 990 Household Registration Booklet
After the wedding, Zhuang Liu could not wait to leave with Tan Rou because Tan Rou had just promised him that if he could get the household register from Tan Ron’s parents, Tan Rou would go and register her marriage with him.
Zhuang Liu couldn’t wait any longer. He was going to get his marriage certificate with Tan Rou today. While the lucky buff of holding flowers was still there, he had to get his marriage certificate as soon as possible.
The Civil Affairs Bureau closed at 5:30 pm. It was 1:30 pm now, so they still had four hours to get their marriage certificate.
They had to wear a white shirt for the marriage certificate, but Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were wearing warm colors for the wedding today. If they wanted to take the photo, they had to go back and change into a white shirt.
Zhuang Liu did not have the time to go back and change his clothes. He did not know how long it would take to go back and forth. He could not afford to wait. So, he handed the errand to Xiao Mo and asked him to bring two sets of white shirts from his residence. Then, he drove Tan Rou to the Tao family manor to look for Tan Ron’s parents.
On the way, Zhuang Liu was very excited. He was eager to marry Tan Rou, but when he reached the entrance of the Tao family’s manor, he did not dare to enter.
No matter how powerful a son-in-law was, he would be afraid of his father- in-law and mother-in-law. Zhuang Liu was no exception. After all, they had not discussed the matter of registering their marriage with Tan Ron’s parents.
If Zhuang Liu was Tan Ron’s parents, he would definitely not be willing to marry Tan Rou off. After getting the marriage certificate, there was no chance for regrets. Zhuang Liu would not regret it, but he did not know if Tan Rou would regret it. After all, Tan Rou was only 22 years old.
Tan Rou got out of the passenger seat and saw Zhuang Liu standing at the door. She asked curiously, “Didn’t you want to ask my parents for the household register? Why are you still standing here? We don’t have much time left. If you’re still in a daze here, we can only wait until tomorrow to get our marriage certificate.”
“No!” Zhuang Liu immediately rejected it. “You’ve already promised me to register our marriage today. You can’t regret it.”
Tan Rou said to Zhuang Liu as she walked into the manor, “It’s not that I want to regret it now. It’s that you don’t dare to enter my house. It’s said that even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. Why don’t you, a handsome son-in-law, dare to meet your mother-in-law?”
Zhuang Liu strode in. “That’s true. Why should I be afraid? Your parents and grandparents are happy with me. When I proposed last time, they immediately agreed when I invited them to join us.”
Tan Rou said, “Okay, let’s go in quickly. The Civil Affairs Bureau will close soon.”
Zhuang Liu didn’t know if the Tao family had received the news in advance, or if their arrival was too coincidental. Everyone from the Tao family was actually here.
He greeted them one by one before telling them his purpose for coming. After he finished speaking, no one in the Tao family spoke; even Tao Qi did not speak to him.
Zhuang Liu was very flustered. The Tao family wouldn’t regret marrying their daughter to him, right? That wouldn’t do. He couldn’t live without Tan Rou.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, I would like to borrow the household register.” Zhuang Liu braced himself and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll return it after we’re done.”
“Do you know the meaning of it?” Mr. Tao asked seriously.
“I know,” Zhuang Liu said. “The household register is very important to you, so I won’t break it.”
“Not entirely.” Father Tao said, “The household register represents the family. The whole family is in the same book. It represents perfection but if you take our Xiao Rou away, our family will be incomplete.”
Zhuang Liu was in a difficult position. He naturally knew this, but he couldn’t do without Tan Rou.
Tan Rou sighed. “Dad, Mom, didn’t I tell you not to make things difficult for Ah Liu? Even though we’re married, it’s not like we will never come back. I’m still your daughter. You don’t have to be sad. Big Brother has already gone to meet Tiantian’s parents with Tiantian. I believe that not long later, you will have another daughter.”
“You little girl, why are you siding with outsiders?” Mrs. Tao couldn’t help but laugh. She slapped Mr. Tao and said, “You too. I told you to ask Zhuang Liu a few simple questions. Why are you so serious? If my daughter and son-in-law are scared by you, I won’t let you off.”
Mr. Tao felt really wronged. He didn’t know what to say, so he searched for a few questions online. In the end, he ended up scaring his daughter and son-in- law. “It’s my fault. I’ll reflect on it. You can take the household register.”
