CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57 MARRY SU RONGGUI

Over there, the interview had already started, and Shang Qingmei had no choice but to return to the conference room.

When Shang Qingmei arrived, Su Zhen was talking about his past.

His experience was a perfect example of an inspirational story. Born into an ordinary farming family, he relied on hard work to gain admission to a big city through examinations. Starting as an employee, he gradually built his company from scratch with extraordinary foresight, initiative, and execution skills, expanding it to its current scale and diversifying into multiple fields.

When it came to the present, Su Zhen appeared especially proud. Facing Hao Ren’s questions, he frankly said his greatest satisfaction in life was being the person he was now. This was not only because his career had reached its peak but also because he now had more ability to give back to society. This inevitably led to his charitable work. Su Zhen himself took his first step out of poverty through college entrance exams, so he highly valued education, supporting numerous underprivileged children in attending school, donating hope schools to mountain areas, establishing scholarships at universities, and donating teaching buildings, laboratories, libraries to many schools. Yet when mentioning these things, Su Zhen uncharacteristically showed a slight bashfulness not typical of a middle-aged man, and simply brushed them off with a "just doing what should be done" before segueing to the company’s current state. Su Zhen, speaking fluently, talked about his company as if discussing a child he was immensely proud of, barely needing Hao Ren to prompt him, leading the conversation effortlessly.

As for the future, Hao Ren followed Su Zhen’s line of thought to ask, "You mentioned that you are most satisfied with who you are now; what about your future self? Won’t you surpass where you are now?"

Su Zhen laughed, "The future? The future belongs to you young people! Of course, this doesn’t mean I’m conceding to age! These past years, I’ve been wholly devoted to my career, with my wife joining me in this journey. Our birthdays and wedding anniversaries were all spent in meetings, so in the future, I plan to spend more time with my wife."

At this point, Su Zhen looked at Shang Qingmei with a smile.

Shang Qingmei remained poised and elegant, handling her husband’s jokes with a calmness that wasn’t swayed by praise or disgrace, and instead of responding affectionately, she talked about the company’s future plans and stated there would soon be significant moves.

Su Zhen, hearing this, laughed, "My wife has more drive than I do, a true career woman. I’m working for her!"

Tu Hengsha couldn’t help but smile, seeing from their interaction that the couple had a good relationship and Su Zhen was indeed a good person. The aunt and little brother who saved her life were lucky to have such a husband and stepfather. Heaven always favors kind people, and she was truly happy for them!

The interview was completed very smoothly and, after being aired on new media, received great feedback, especially the down-to-earth interaction between Su Zhen and his wife at the end, which was unanimously praised by netizens. Every time Tu Hengsha saw Mr. Su’s otherwise cold face light up with a smile, even though her little brother had become someone else entirely, as long as he was doing well, it was fine!

Hao Ren, however, didn’t seem particularly happy and was speechless at her inexplicable joy, "What are you so happy about? Looking at you, you seem eager to call Su Zhen Dad!"

"Nonsense!" Tu Hengsha stomped her foot, "I just think Su Zhen is a very admirable entrepreneur!"

"As an entrepreneur, for sure!" Hao Ren gave a thumbs-up.

"He’s also a model husband and father!" Tu Hengsha generously praised.

"As for that..." Hao Ren trailed off, playing coy.

Tu Hengsha didn’t need to ask to know what he was thinking, that Shang Qingmei was a second wife! No need for him to say it!

"Why do you think Su Zhen rose so quickly? Do you really think he did it all by himself? Do you know who his ex-wife was? She was the only daughter of the company’s founder!"

"..." This time, it was Tu Hengsha’s turn to be speechless.

"As a husband, I can’t say for sure, but as a father, he should be okay. There are plenty of people who’d like to call him Dad!" Hao Ren resumed his unseriousness, "I’ve got a way for you to call Su Zhen Dad!"

"..." Tu Hengsha wasn’t interested at all, waved her hand, and quickened her pace to walk away.

They had been speaking quietly, but with her departure, Hao Ren raised his voice, "You work hard to marry Su Ronggui, and Su Zhen will be your dad, right?"

Tu Hengsha turned around to scold him but froze in place after turning.
