As Zhang Huizhi chatted, she couldn't help but glance at Li Hongmei's qipao and handbag several times. The dress was genuine, and the bag was authentic as well. Clearly, anyone who came to this sales office to inquire about buying a house was not an ordinary person.
What excited Zhang Huizhi the most was the conversation she had just overheard between Li Hongmei and her son. There was a particularly impressive investment project that wasn't available on the market; investing ten million could yield sixteen million! This miraculous return felt like a pie falling from the sky.
Zhang Huizhi began to feel a surge of confidence. She thought she had encountered a benefactor. After all, if one wanted to connect with the elite of high society, they had to frequent places where wealthy people gathered, like this sales office or high-end car dealerships.
Now, Zhang Huizhi understood this principle: the reason there was no intersection between the rich and the poor was that their social circles simply did not exist on the same level! After all, the properties here started at four million per unit—something that poor people could never afford! Let alone coming here to look at houses!
Zhang Huizhi felt restless; she really wanted to befriend the woman in the qipao before her. During the day, she had nothing to do at home and couldn’t help her son with his career. To make matters worse, she had been kicked out of her home by that damned Tong Le.
A series of recent events had left her feeling quite unhappy. If she could leverage her connections to help Ke Wenjie with financial management and earn some money, then she could bully Tong Le however she wanted without being rejected by Ke Wenjie!
Zhang Huizhi took the initiative to ask, "What should I call you? Let's exchange WeChat; who knows, we might end up being neighbors here!"
Li Hongmei deliberately maintained her composure and replied with a question, "What does your family do?"
Zhang Huizhi hurriedly responded, "Tongshan Real Estate—have you heard of it? That's my son's company; they deal with real estate."
Li Hongmei thought for a moment and elongated her tone, "Oh, I think I've heard of that company. But I remember that the head of Tongshan Real Estate only has one daughter, right?"
Zhang Huizhi steadied herself and explained, "Ah, that's my daughter-in-law."
Suddenly feeling uncertain, Zhang Huizhi had intended to boast and elevate her own status but hadn’t expected that the other party would know so much about Tongshan Real Estate.
Li Hongmei said, "So your son is married into Tongshan Real Estate? How can you say that company is run by your son? I've heard about the head of Tongshan Real Estate before; he built this company from scratch and has a pretty good reputation in the industry. It's a pity he left us too soon."
Li Hongmei opened her phone's WeChat QR code. "My name is Li Hongmei; what’s yours?"
Zhang Huizhi quickly added her as a friend. "I'm Zhang Huizhi; you can just call me Huizhi. So now we are friends! I've been in this city for so long without making any close friends; I can't connect with my old friends anymore."
Zhang Huizhi then asked, "What does your family do?"
Li Hongmei feigned nonchalance. "We specialize in investments; our main business is overseas."
Upon hearing that they invested overseas, Zhang Huizhi thought this was impressive—not only were they wealthy, but they also seemed quite sophisticated!
At that moment, Zhou Zishuo seized the opportunity to act out. He turned to Li Hongmei and complained, "Mom, can I leave now? I've already seen the model room; what else are we doing here? I’m not interested in these houses—they're remote and cheap compared to where we live now; they’re nothing."
Zhou Zishuo stood up to leave when Li Hongmei pressed down on his wrist and commanded, "Mom said this is your future marital home! When you get married in the future, you'll live in a villa in the city with me and your dad! Once you and your wife have children, I'll buy you another place in the villa area."
Zhou Zishuo replied impatiently, "I really don’t want to marry her. What does her family have besides money? What else can they offer? Isn’t her dad just involved in oil? Our family isn’t any worse than theirs—why do you insist on me marrying her? It’s ridiculous!"
He shook off her hand and turned away from Li Hongmei in frustration.
Li Hongmei sighed quietly and forced a smile at Zhang Huizhi. "The child is too young; he doesn’t understand the importance of marrying someone from a similar background."
Zhang Huizhi was left speechless. She thought that Li Hongmei's family background was already impressive, but to her surprise, the family involved in this marriage alliance was in the oil business!
Zhang Huizhi tried her best to conceal her emotions, fearing that Li Hongmei might look down on her. She took the initiative to help persuade Zhou Zishuo, saying, "Child, you don’t understand your mother’s intentions right now. She is doing this for you. Just wait a few more years, and you will definitely be grateful for the path your mother has paved for you!"
Li Hongmei nodded with feigned emotion, "Yes, son, it's all for you!"
At that moment, Li Hongmei's phone rang. She picked it up and stood up, turning to Zhou Zishuo to remind him, "Don't go anywhere; wait for me to finish this call."
