They became stronger through blind dates, and all their wishes came true.

Chapter 22 My Hao Hao is getting married soon, it's a bit inappropriate for him not to have a c

Over the next few days, Zhou Kang shuttled between the school, his apartment, and the security company.

During the day, on the campus of Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology.

"President, I bought the bubble tea with pearls today, please try it."

"Hmm, not bad," Lin Yutong said casually.

Evening, Sun Island Apartment.

"Brother Zhou Kang, the police came to take my statement today." Tian Tian sat on the sofa hugging a cushion. "They said they'll catch the people from the casino soon."

"That's good." Zhou Kang nodded. "Just wait for news. Once the casino is shut down, we'll get you back to school."

A few days later, Li Guoqiang called: "President Zhou, the casino has been raided, and the police even presented our company with a banner."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Two days later, Tian Tian's student status was successfully reinstated.

As for Tian Sufeng, Zhou Kang arranged for her to enter the Jiangcheng Mental Health Center and also got her a yearly package deal.

The weekend is almost here, it's time to meet the dance teacher my mom recommended.

……

At 2 p.m., Zhou Kang sat on the sofa in his blind date's home.

His mother told him that this blind date had previously worked in Beijing.

This forced Zhou Kang to take it seriously.

Jiangcheng is not inferior to Shangjing, but Shangjing is, after all, the capital.

Anyone who has studied or worked in Beijing can be said to have high standards.

Therefore, he specially wore that Giorgio Armani suit today and brought his Omega Constellation watch with him.

At this moment, Zhou Kang was surrounded by five people.

Sitting opposite him was his blind date, Qian Xinya.

To Zhou Kang's left are her father, Qian Shenghua, and her mother, Wang Yingxiu; to her right are her younger brother, Qian Hao, and her future sister-in-law, Liang Jiajia.

Qian Xinya has beautiful features, and her long hair is tied into a bun at the back of her head.

She wore a black sleeveless turtleneck sweater and dark gray wide-leg pants.

Her posture was dignified, her back straight, and her fitted outfit revealed a unique and graceful temperament.

Qian Shenghua was wearing a faded plaid shirt, while Wang Yingxiu was wearing a dark blue floral top.

Both of them looked at Zhou Kang with warm smiles on their faces.

Qian Hao looked about the same age as Zhou Kang, with blond hair, wearing a denim vest, and a gold chain around his neck that was of dubious authenticity.

He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked completely nonchalant.

Liang Jiajia wore a leopard-print tight top, dark blue jeans with fishnet stockings, and black platform high heels.

Her hair was dyed brown, and she wore light makeup. She was leaning against Qian Hao. If I'm not mistaken, she's most likely a vocational school graduate.

"Xiaokang, now that we all know each other, let's get straight to the point and talk about our requirements, shall we?" Wang Yingxiu said with a smile. "After all, marriage is a big deal, and there are some things we need to clarify first."

Zhou Kang nodded: "Auntie, you're right, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Wang Yingxiu cleared her throat: "I heard from your mother that you're still in school. Although you found a job that pays six thousand yuan, it's just an internship and you're not officially a student. And look at getting married and starting a family, there are expenses everywhere..."

Just as she was about to continue, Zhou Kang smiled slightly and placed the Porsche car keys on the coffee table.

The crisp sound instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Auntie, my mom might be being a bit conservative in describing our family's actual situation."

Zhou Kang leaned back on the sofa, his tone calm.

"I own two houses, one in Binjiang No. 1 Courtyard and the other in Sun Island. In addition to this Porsche 911, I also own a Maserati. As for work, besides that internship with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, I also have some investments and businesses. So you don't need to worry about money."

"So our focus should be on what your requirements are if you want to get married."

Zhou Kang's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Qian Xinya.

The living room fell silent instantly.

Everyone was stunned by the truth that Zhou Kang told them.

Wang Xiuying was the first to react. She slapped her thigh, and her smile became even warmer.

"Oh dear, Xiaokang, you've misunderstood. It's true, I didn't expect your mom to be so... modest!"

"But with you being so successful, Xiaokang, we're relieved. As for our Xiaoya..."

"cough!"

Qian Xinya coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to her.

She looked at Zhou Kang with a gentle smile: "Zhou Kang, since you're so frank, we'll just get straight to the point."

"Go on," Zhou Kang said, looking all ears.

Qian Xinya paused for a moment and said, "Our hometown is in Jiangxi Province, so I want to have the wedding twice, once in Jiangxi and once back in our hometown, so that we can take care of our relatives and friends on both sides."

"So the bride price..." She looked at Zhou Kang, her eyes filled with a hint of probing, "It will be collected in two installments. The first time here, 188,000 yuan, mainly to show our friends here your sincerity. The second time back in our hometown, 688,000 yuan, that's for our family's reputation, to let our family back home know that I married well."

[System records requirements[1]: Bride price twice, totaling 87.6 yuan]

"I understand. This wedding is for show, so saving face is the most important thing. Besides, this number is also auspicious."

Zhou Kang nodded in agreement, but inwardly he couldn't help but admire him.

No wonder he came back from Beijing, he just casually mentioned 87.

Qian Xinya seemed surprised that Zhou Kang not only didn't haggle but also agreed immediately, and she was clearly taken aback.

Then his smile became even more genuine: "I'm glad you understand."

"Also, we can't forget the hardware. I know gold prices are high right now, so buying jewelry directly isn't cost-effective. So let's buy a 100-gram gold bar and have a master craftsman cut it into a design we like. It'll retain its value and it'll be a thoughtful gift. What do you think?"

[System recorded requirement[2]: 100 grams of gold for hardware jewelry]

"No problem, your idea is really practical. Buy it, we have to buy it! Let's do it your way."

Zhou Kang clapped his hands, his face full of admiration.

"To be honest, I've been on four blind dates, and it's rare to find someone like Miss Qian who is willing to consider both families and even proactively help the other party save money."

"Okay, what kind of car do you need? Just bring it, money is no object."

Qian Xinya felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Kang's praise, and her eyes held a hint of flirtation when she looked at him.

"Since you have two cars, I don't need them. I just need one to drive around normally."

Zhou Kang was taken aback upon hearing this.

what?

No, sister! How can you refuse?

How come you reacted like this after I just praised you a couple of times?

You've at least been to Beijing to get your resume polished, how come your perspective is even worse than Jiang Yirou's?

Everyone else asks for more, but you don't even want the car. Will you ask for the house too later?

No, we must eliminate this bad thinking!

Just as Zhou Kang was pondering how to guide her to express more requests, Wang Yingxiu suddenly spoke up.

"Xiaokang, don't listen to Xiaoya's nonsense. Your car is still your car. If you need to use it for anything, it will be very inconvenient for us to use it."

"How about this, you buy another one for our family. Hao Hao is getting married soon, and it's not right for us to go out without a car..."

What a godsend, Auntie!

What does it mean to receive a pillow just as you're about to fall asleep?

Look at the aunt's perspective.

Zhou Kang picked up the conversation, expressing his agreement with a look of full approval:

"It really wouldn't be right not to have a car. I was originally planning to buy a car for my wife's family after we got married, but since Xinya doesn't want one, it's fine for my brother to choose one."

"I just don't know what kind of car my younger brother likes?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yingxiu stood up and slapped Qian Hao, who was wandering around in the clouds.

"Your brother-in-law is going to buy you a car. Didn't you always like that... Ji... something?"

"Oh my god! That's a Mercedes G-Class! Brother-in-law, are you really going to buy it for me?" Qian Hao perked up immediately, looking at Zhou Kang with eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Kang glanced at him and thought to himself, "This guy is way too familiar."

They haven't even started dating yet, and they're already calling him brother-in-law?

But he readily agreed, saying, "No problem, it's just a Mercedes G-Class."

[System record request[3]: One Mercedes-Benz G-Class]

Qian Xinya glanced at her mother and younger brother with a complicated expression, then at Zhou Kang, who had readily agreed.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
