If Fate Permitted, There Would Always Be Opportunities

"Yu Daiyu, Chinese-American, is 23 years old. 2 months ago, she just graduated from Boston University. Her family background seems clean. Her parents moved to the United States 20 years ago and continue to live here. Although her family background is not prominent, her family can be considered quite wealthy. Her father is in the leather business and is an old friend of Old Wei. Hmm... This Yu Daiyu has a lively personality. She is also very cute and beautiful." Bei Xiaolia mumbled while looking at the photos of this cute girl. Hearing footsteps, she raised her head and saw that her son had just come home from work.

"Oh, Zhengsheng, you are back! Come here, take a look at these photos." Bei Xiaolia put her glass down on the tea table and held a photo in her hand. She asked Wei Zhengsheng, who had just come in, to come over.

This was nagging that Wei Zhengsheng heard at home almost every day. He heard the detailed introduction again and could not help but laugh as he shook his head. "Mom, why are you in such a hurry to marry me off?"

"Eh, Zhengsheng, didn't you say that if we insisted on marrying you off as soon as possible, we can find a candidate for you? It just so happened that your father and I have found a girl we like, so we want you to consider her." Bei Xiaolia glared at him. "Why are you going upstairs? Come here and look at the photos of this cute girl."

However, Wei Zhengsheng continued to walk upstairs. "Twenty-three years old, eleven years younger than me. Mom, are you looking for a child bride for me?"

Bei Xiaolia looked at him and snapped. "Wei Zhengsheng, stop right there!"

Wei Zhengsheng's footsteps immediately stopped.

"I know you still love Xian Guiying, but Zhengsheng, how long are you going to be like this? You cannot live with this regret for the rest of your life! You have to find the right girl to marry. You are already 34 years old. How long are your father and I supposed to wait? We really want to hold our grandchild. Do you want to wait until one of us dies before you get married?"

"If fate permitted, there would always be opportunities," Wei Zhengsheng said softly.

Bei Xiaolia stood up and walked toward him quickly. "You're my son, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You always use these words as an excuse. Fate is like a ghost. Everyone has heard of it, but who has seen it? This Yu Daiyu was once your father's student, and she's also the daughter of an old friend of your father. If we don't think this girl is suitable for you, we won't introduce her to you."

"She's still a young girl who has just graduated. No matter how much you want me to get married, you can't keep pushing her into the fiery pit of marriage."

"Fiery pit?" Bei Xiaolia stared at him, "How can our Wei Family become a fiery pit? It's not too early for her to marry at the age of twenty-three. If this girl marries into our family, your father and I will love her with all our hearts. This isn't a fire pit!"

"Right, it's not a fire pit." Wei Zhengsheng looked at his mother with a funny expression and then walked upstairs with a smile.

Bei Xiaolia was taken aback for a moment by her son's smile. She looked at the photo in her hand and heaved a heavy sigh.

Wei Zhengsheng had just reached the second floor when she heard a long sigh from downstairs. His footsteps stopped as he slowly looked at his mother, who was standing in front of the stairs with a lost expression on her face.

Just as Bei Xiaolia was about to return to the sofa to sit down, she suddenly heard Wei Zhengsheng's voice from upstairs. "I'm free this Sunday. You can arrange for me to meet her."

She immediately beamed happily and called out to Wei Zhengsheng, who was already walking towards the study. "Good boy! Mom will arrange the meeting soon."

Hearing his mother's cheerful voice, Wei Zhengsheng shook his head with a smile. He pulled out his cell phone and looked at the email he had just received. He then went into the study.

In Xian Cooperation...

On Sunday afternoon, shortly after the board meeting, Wei Zhengsheng walked out of the conference room. His secretary held a stack of meeting materials as she ran behind him and said, "President Wei, I personally think that this new project is extremely unsuitable for our company. After all, the area in which it occupies is different, and this kind of creative project is completely unsuitable for our goals for this year."

Wei Zhengsheng nodded and went into his office. He glanced at Dai Meifen and asked, "Has that company recruited any new employees in the past two years?"

"No, all the employees of the company are old people. They all rely on their seniority to think that they have the qualifications to deceive others with cases like this." Dai Meifen put the documents in her hand on his desk.

Wei Zhengsheng sat down in his chair. "For this year's recruitment quota, give the planning department two empty slots. Instruct them to filter these slots carefully. There are still a few months until the end of the year. Let's postpone this project for now and see if there are any other good projects that can be done."

"Okay, I understand."

While the two of them were talking, Wei Zhengsheng's phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller and answered it. "Hello, Mom?"

"Didn't you say that you have free time today? When would you leave work?" Bei Xiaolia's voice carried a little insistence.

Wei Zhensheng looked at the time. "I still have an hour to go. I don't have much work today, so I can go home early. Why? Do you need anything?"

"Do I need anything? Have you forgotten? Didn't you agree for me to arrange a meeting with Uncle Yu and Yu Daiyu?"

Wei Zhengsheng raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "Okay, I understand."

"The meeting will be held at the Jade Dawn Hotel. When are you coming?"

Wei Zhengsheng glanced at Dai Meifen, who seemed to have something to say. He sighed, "I'll be there in an hour."

"Mm, you must keep your word. You are not allowed to be late." With that, Bei Xiaolia hung up the phone.
