Chapter 825: Blind Date (9)
Translator: Lordbluefire
Mother Zeng paused and furrowed her brows, “The Chu family only has one eligible young lady. Didn’t you say that you didn’t meet her during the last blind date?”
Father Zeng also paused.
He looked again at the Maybach car and then signaled to the butler beside him, “Go and check the license plate number of this car, find out who it belongs to.”
The butler nodded and left.
The couple then entered the living room.
Zeng Keyi had already walked around with Chu Qianshu, explaining the layout of the room to her. He pointed out which room he lived in, which room his parents lived in, and went through it all with her.
Soon, the relatives from the Zeng family arrived.
Zeng Family’s second aunt from the second branch was quite gossipy. Because her daughter had been accepted to the prestigious university Qingbei University, she liked to compare other people’s children with her own.
Even in a wealthy family, being able to participate in the college entrance examination and get into Qingbei University was a remarkable achievement.
So when she saw Zeng Keyi, the second aunt smiled and said, “Keyi, your younger brother can’t make it today. 1 heard there’s some international biological science exchange conference at his school today. Several internationally renowned experts are said to be attending. His mentor singled him out to organize the event, so he couldn’t come.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Zeng praised, “This child has been smart since he was young. He’s our family’s scholar, achieving such a feat by getting into Qingbei University purely on his own abilities is truly remarkable.”
The second aunt smiled and then looked at Zeng Keyi, “Who could argue with that? Sister-in-law, don’t take offense, but Keyi is a bit too playful. He doesn’t study seriously. Despite the wealth in our family, there’s a difference between those who study well and those who don’t…”
With those words, Mother Zeng’s expression darkened.
She tactfully praised the other woman’s son. How could this younger sister-in-law be so annoying?
Mother Zeng tried to change the subject, “He’s graduating this year, right? Will he be joining the company then?”
The second aunt disdainfully remarked, “My son says managing a company is pointless. You just need to spend a little money to hire a professional manager. As long as you check the financial statements regularly, that’s enough. He wants to dedicate himself to scientific research.”
She continued, “He even said he doesn’t want to be a businessman reeking of copper. He believes that engaging in scientific research better reflects his life’s value.”
Mother Zeng,
Her words were getting more and more excessive.
Engaging in scientific research was fine, but why look down on those who do business?
If it weren’t for the few people doing business in the family, would their second branch receive such substantial dividends every year?
Unfortunately, Mother Zeng couldn’t counterattack now because society was currently respecting scientists…
Just as Mother Zeng was feeling frustrated, a voice suddenly sounded beside her, “Second aunt, the biological science exchange conference you mentioned, is it related to biomedicine?”
The second aunt turned her head and saw Chu Qianshu. She smiled, “Yes, that’s right. I heard this symposium will host a group of top-tier scientists from around the world… By the way, I heard Zeng Keyi’s girlfriend also has a high academic background. What’s your field of study?”
Chu Qianshu smiled, “What a coincidence, I’m also focused on biomedicine.”
The second aunt’s chin lifted with delight, “No wonder you know about this summit. I’ve heard many people in the country want to attend to broaden their horizons. Do you want to go too? If you do, I can have my son take you in…”
Before she could finish, Mother Zeng’s expression worsened.
Does she have to beg this younger sister-in-law for the sake of her daughter-in-law? She’s lived her whole life, and now she has to beg this younger sister-in-law?
But then…
Mother Zeng glanced at Chu Qianshu again.
Forget it.
If her daughter-in-law wants to go, she’ll just have to let go of her pride!!
Just as Mother Zeng was thinking this, Chu Qianshu’s voice sounded, “That won’t be necessary, second aunt. I’m also attending the conference tomorrow…”
The second aunt paused, “Huh?”
Chu Qianshu continued, “I forgot to introduce myself. Here’s my business card…”
The second aunt took the card and saw that Chu Qianshu was actually a staff member at the most renowned foreign laboratory! She had heard of this laboratory; her son mentioned it every day, saying that if he could work there after graduating, it would be his lifelong dream!
Moreover, the most important participants in tomorrow’s summit were people like her.
So, her son was working tirelessly to organize the event just to welcome this girl in front of her??
The second aunt was left dumbfounded..
