My Life with Narration

Chapter 807: Chapter 797: Shen Yi’s Itinerary

Human relations and social interactions are indeed something he’s got a handle on. Through hints, he even knows what tiles Shen’s dad and mom need. As long as he has those, why worry they won’t be able to listen to the tiles?

Calling someone’s bluff isn’t a loss, calling bluff isn’t a trap, losing is a blessing. Gotta say, there’s some truth in old sayings.

Anyway, after playing a few rounds, Su Qing realized he’d finally overcome the last of the obstacles, even Shen’s dad was won over.

If he’d known the future father-in-law would be this easy to deal with, he wouldn’t have been so scared. He broke out in a cold sweat on the way here.

That night, Su Qing chatted with the Shen family trio until nearly ten, mostly about everyday life and his current situation.

Though the two elders already had a rough idea through their own daughter, they couldn’t probe deeper. There are things the daughter won’t say.

This time with Su Qing here, the two elders had their questions answered, and satisfaction grew.

Work, income, family conditions, personality, they even discussed his collaboration with the landlady’s family.

Work and income are secondary after all, since their daughter Shen Yi isn’t too shabby herself, and she’s among the elite in the country. Even if she sold the company now, as long as he doesn’t gamble, they could live off the remaining money for a lifetime, even secure the future for their grandchildren.

The main points are family conditions. Su Qing’s family is pretty ordinary, living in a first-tier city. His father is a college professor, he’s not an only child and has a younger sister. His parents are still young, they’re great at caring for kids.

Especially the identity of Su Qing’s dad as a college professor scored high marks in front of Shen’s parents, as their conditions are good, but their educational level isn’t high.

And Su He being the younger sister lessens future hassles for the Su family, after all, she’s going to be married off eventually. Since their own family has only one child, Shen’s parents hoped the son-in-law’s family would have two kids.

It’s not about elderly support economics. With more people, there’s help for errands. An only child family, no matter how wealthy, feels a bit isolated.

As for personality, after a quick assessment, they found that although Su Qing is young, he’s quite composed, at least more mature than his peers, with clear thinking and eloquence.

Most importantly, even the Wen family is closely associated with Su Qing, proving he’s definitely not ordinary.

Shen’s parents may not know much else, but they’re quite familiar with the Wen family’s status since their daughter got her startup funds from the Wen daughter.

Over the years, even though the families haven’t met, Shen’s parents know the Wen family isn’t ordinary.

Especially Shen Tiancheng, he knows of Old Master Wen’s capabilities in Jiang City.

If such a family finds Su Qing impressive and capable of collaboration, how could they not be pleased?

Next is work. While talking about this, Su Qing was slightly embarrassed, since he got quite a lot of help from Shen Yi financially when he first made it big.

Even now, although he has a company under his name, he resembles an unemployed person, unstable and not as good as Shen Yi.

Nevertheless, Shen’s parents aren’t too concerned about this. Everyone has their own path, it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it’s legal and profitable.

Yet, they were shocked to learn his first startup fund was earned from stock trading.

Mainly because the major portion was loaned by his daughter first, then Su Qing turned a million into over three billion in just over a month, genuinely astonishing the old couple.

Compared to the things afterward, those seemed much more straightforward.

Finally, Su Qing was arranged to rest in the guest room.

No sharing rooms at the woman’s family home; that’s the rule. Even if they’re engaged, it’s still off the table, it’s a matter of respect.

So the last night of April passed by. For Su Qing, it was quite thrilling, making him neglect online updates.

The next day, May 1st, Labor Day, Shen Yi pulled him up early, drove him to climb a mountain in Anhai City.

"Sis, it’s May Day, not Dragon Boat Festival. Is it necessary to climb a mountain?" On the summit of Nanshan Park, Su Qing yawned and spoke.

Nanshan isn’t tall, it’s not tiring to climb, but heading out early just to climb a mountain seems odd.

Moreover, they left past seven, the sun was already up, no sunrise to catch.

Hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes at him, spreading her arms wide, taking a deep breath: "Ah~~ It’s so much better here at home. I noticed you don’t exercise often. Besides, who says you can only climb mountains during Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Everyone decorates with dogwood flowers but missing one person. But in my childhood, it was only on Dragon Boat Festival they’d go mountain climbing in the morning!" Su Qing spoke.

Of course, he said it, but that was only when he was young. Since moving to the city, he rarely paid attention to such traditions.

As for dragon boat racing, there’s no such tradition in Jiang City. If you want real dragon boat races, you’d need to look at Guangdong landlords. They’re huge events, it’s said you need a net worth over a million to even get on board. Absolutely fair, no scandals, tenants come voluntarily to cheer for their landlords.

If the landlady had many houses there, she’d definitely be a key player.

"Certainly, plenty of people climb mountains on May Day: Mount Heng, Hua Mountain, Mount Tai, Huang Mountain. If we weren’t visiting my home this year, I’d definitely take you to see more, cure your laziness."

At this moment, Shen Yi was wearing a gray tracksuit, her long hair tied in a rare ponytail, looking fresh, constantly attracting attention.

"Then forget it. I know, Mount Tai shuts every boastful mouth. I give in, I’d like to go to Four Sisters Mountain, there should be plenty of girls there, or Huang Mountain!"

Shen Yi:...

"Get lost, all you do is banter. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, not bad. So, what’s the plan for today?" Su Qing asked.

He’s met Shen Yi’s parents, although they can’t leave immediately, they can’t just stay home either.

It’s awkward, and Shen Yi’s parents aren’t entirely at ease. Despite yesterday’s pleasant chat, they were merely accommodating each other, being polite at the first meeting is actually quite tiring.

That’s why after breakfast this morning, Shen Yi took him out, and Shen’s parents went to their store.

Mainly, there’s never enough to talk about when staying together, understood by all.

"You’re really unhurried, aren’t you? Isn’t your project releasing today? Aren’t you afraid of losing as an investor?" Shen Yi laughed.

She’s seen Su Qing’s untroubled nature many times, yet feels amazed each time.

From stock trading to investing in "Wandering Earth," each time those around him are worried for him, but Su Qing, calm and collected, as if it’s none of his business—it’s baffling.

"Indeed, it’s releasing today, first screening at ten a.m. Hey, what’s the use if I go there? You finally have a holiday, I don’t want to think about such things. I wouldn’t be helpful at all, just ruin our fun. Don’t worry, Director Wang Jiang will inform me of the box office either midnight or tomorrow morning." Su Qing handed Shen Yi a bottle of water and smiled.

Indeed, today is the day "Life-changing Matters" and "Demon Capital Fortress" are released.

Though there are other films in the May Day lineup, their overall buzz truly can’t compare to these two. Rarely does a movie cause a stir online before even releasing.

Many netizens are eager to dash into theaters.

Although "Demon Capital Fortress" is amidst turmoil, it’s wrapped in a sci-fi theme. Its trailer piqued substantial interest.

Contrarily, "Life-changing Matters" doesn’t appear as the type to draw intense curiosity. Those planning to watch are primarily fueled by recent buzz.

"Alright then, if you’re not anxious, I’ve nothing more to say. We’ll freshen up, I’ll take you out for a walk in the morning, meet my friends back here this afternoon, and tonight we’ll go watch the film you invested in?"

"Sure thing, I’m up for it!"
