Chapter 607: Chapter 590: Yu itong Wants to Fall in Love
Yu itong was actually quite satisfied with the guy. He looked like soone she liked, was gentle, and capable, being a deputy manager at a young age. But she wasn’t willing to argue over money in the future with such a family. Having experienced poverty, she knew how hard it was to live without money.
Lu Jiaxin noticed that she still seed a bit reluctant. Well, logic is one thing, and feelings are another.
After thinking for a mont, Lu Jiaxin said, “Didn’t we just talk about how Nie Zhan always ghosts ? The Nie Family is wealthy, and many issues can be solved with money; Nie Zhan was just there to advise and strategize. But the guy pursuing you is from a poor family. If they encounter any problems, they’ll need you to offer both effort and money.”
“Sister itong, if you’re just dating, it’s fine to enjoy yourselves. But if you’re considering marriage, then forget it—it would be exhausting and burdenso.”
It’s not that his family would definitely suck itong dry, but when there’s trouble, should you help or not? Refusing once or twice can be handled, but constant refusal would surely affect the marital relationship, leaving only a ss in the end.
Zong Shing posed a practical question, “How old is the man, and has he bought a property yet?”
Yu itong replied, “He’s a year younger than . He bought a property in Yuen Long at the beginning of the month, over 700 square feet.”
“Have you ever gone shopping with him?”
Yu itong shook her head, “I don’t intend to accept him, so I haven’t gone shopping with him.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “Sister itong, you’re right not to accept him. Today we spent over twenty thousand on shopping together, and that guy’s monthly salary is probably not even that amount, right?”
“His salary is over fourteen thousand, plus quarterly and year-end bonuses,” Yu itong replied. For his age, it’s considered pretty good inco.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but shake her head, and said, “Sister itong, even if his monthly salary plus bonuses isn’t enough for you to shop once.”
“While dating, you might not say anything even if you disagree, but marriage is different. In the end, there are only two outcos: one, you compromise and lower your standard of living; two, endless quarreling, followed by parting ways.”
“Is there no third option?”
Lu Jiaxin shook her head, saying, “No. Life isn’t a fairy tale. I ntioned this to Shi Xinyu before, and now I’m telling you the sa.”
“Take and Nie Zhan for example. If I were just an ordinary white-collar worker, I might date him but definitely wouldn’t marry him. Once married, you’d not only have to endure the resistance from the Nie Family but also break barriers to integrate into his circle—it’s too tiring.”
Zong Shing chuckled, “Aren’t you afraid Nie Zhan will hear that?”
Lu Jiaxin wasn’t afraid, “I have no problem telling him directly. The disparity between our families is too great, not only will his relatives but even his friends look down on you. Life is short, I just want to be happy and joyful, and don’t wish to endure hardships or make compromises.”
After listening, Yu itong felt sowhat scared, and decided that once Monday ca, she would find ti to make things clear with the guy: “I’ll focus on work, earning a promotion and raise!”
Lu Jiaxin was very pleased, glad that she listened to advice. Perhaps the guy’s family could be harmonious, but top-down compatibility is really exhausting, and the result of enduring is not necessarily good.
A few days later, Lu Jiaxin had just returned from a walk in the garden when she received a call from Yu itong.
Yu itong said angrily, “That scumbag—I only rejected him three days ago, and yesterday I saw him having coffee with the secretary of the publicity departnt manager in my company.”
Good thing she rejected him despite feeling sad and guilty, but turns out he was a fisherman. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting it seed. But she couldn’t say anything, or he might turn the tables.
Lu Jiaxin asked, “Does that secretary co from a wealthy background?”
Yu itong affird her assumption, “Although I don’t know what kind of family she’s from, she dresses in designer clothes and carries bags from Chanel and Little Xiang. Yesterday, she was carrying Little Xiang’s latest model.”
“Why be angry over such trash?”
Upon hearing this, Yu itong realized her foolishness, “Jiaxin, should I remind her, to prevent her from being deceived?”
“You can remind her, but you shouldn’t be the one to say it—you’d need to find soone close to her to talk to her. Otherwise, she might think you secretly have feelings for the guy and are being jealous to stir things up.”
Feeling fortunate to have vented to Jiaxin, Yu itong otherwise might have impulsively told the secretary, potentially causing bad repercussions.
Lu Jiaxin laughed, asking, “Thinking about dating soone?”
Yu itong indeed wanted to date, so she didn’t hold back, “Seeing you all sweet and lovely, I want to fall in love too. Also, you’re getting engaged this year and will get married and have children in the next few years—I can’t fall too far behind.”
Wanting to date signifies she’s moved past the shadow of the last relationship. Lu Jiaxin happily said, “What are your requirents for your future partner? Sister Shing and I can help look around.”
Yu itong knew that although she wasn’t socially active, the many elites in companies like Wansheng Real Estate and Xinxin Real Estate were valuable resources. Without shyness, she said, “Be committed to the relationship and have a promising career like mine. I don’t ask for wealth, but can’t be poor either.”
“What about looks?”
Yu itong said, “Looks should be at least a seven out of ten—too ugly won’t do, or the children might be unpleasant looking as well. That scumbag looked gentle and refined but was actually a deceitful gentleman.”
She wouldn’t want soone who wasn’t committed to the relationship, no matter how good-looking or wealthy their family was. Having suffered once, she couldn’t falter in the sa way.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin went through the senior staff at the company in her mind. Turns out, they were all over thirty, and most were already married.
While taking a walk after dinner, Lu Jiaxin asked Nie Zhan, “Does your company have any good-looking guys with nice personalities?”
Real estate companies might better fit Yu itong’s criteria because there is more potential in real estate companies; Wansheng being the N04 real estate company in Hong Kong, those who manage to get in have strong abilities and co from prestigious schools.
Nie Zhan stopped, looked at her, asking, “Why suddenly ask this?”
Lu Jiaxin explained about Yu itong, “She never ntioned wanting to date, indicating the wound hadn’t healed completely. Now that she’s considering dating, it signifies the matter has passed, so I want to introduce soone suitable. I already checked Xinxin Real Estate and Green Forest but haven’t found anyone appropriate.”
“What are the requirents?”
“Excellent ability, hardworking, good personality, and handso looks. As for family background, just having parents with decent jobs is sufficient,” Lu Jiaxin said. Parents with respectable jobs constituted the middle class in Hong Kong, and soone with excellent ability and a promising future would be a good match for Yu itong.
Nie Zhan didn’t refuse, saying, “When I go to work tomorrow, I’ll have the secretary gather information on the middle-level leaders at the company to see if there’s anyone who fits your criteria.”
Lu Jiaxin smiled, saying, “I’ve already called Sister Shing, asking her to help look around. She knows many people, so she might act faster than I will.”
