Chapter 652 - 383: Lecture, Conversation with Yu Hua (2)

"At that time, I plan to buy a house in the Capital and another in Hangzhou. If you want to stay in the Capital, we will be there. If you want to return to Hangzhou, I’ll try to persuade them to see if we can all develop there. Even if we can’t all move to Hangzhou, we can still travel south to avoid the winter."

"I’ve already thought of quite a few names for the kids. Two-character names are better, less likely to be duplicated. The household registration officials would also suggest we choose a two-character name. For example, Huang Qing’an, Huang Tongxuan, Huang Yucang, Huang Batian... by the way, where are you planning to hold the wedding?"

"Enough already."

Huang Tianxuan calmly said, "Why are you painting me a picture after just finishing dinner? Still planning to persuade them to develop in Hangzhou... Let me ask you first, has Zhao Qingge agreed to marry you?"

Li Peifeng lacked confidence: "She hasn’t expressed herself, but if I try harder, there shouldn’t be a problem."

Huang Tianxuan nodded: "Okay, since you mentioned the future, I’ll talk to you about the wedding. Let’s analyze assuming Zhao Qingge has compromised and accepted."

"Firstly, how do you plan to hold our wedding? Should the four of us hold four separate ceremonies? Are you inviting your friends? Just one ceremony or all four?"

"Definitely four ceremonies... invite them all."

After saying that, Li Peifeng gave an awkward smile: "Actually, I don’t have many friends, so not inviting them is fine. It’s a bit unreasonable to have them give me four separate gifts."

Huang Tianxuan sneered slightly: "I knew it, you didn’t even post on social media when you were gifted a Mercedes G-Class. Once you get married, you’ll be even more embarrassed to invite friends. Let’s drop this, what about the bride price? Wenyue asked you for 100 million, do I get any?"

"Yes... I’ll also give 100 million. Not posting on social media is mainly because among my WeChat friends are their three parents, if I post, they’ll find out..."

"Haha, fine, let’s not talk about that, continue discussing the bride price."

Huang Tianxuan counted on her fingers: "Four people, four hundred million, plus properties in the Capital and Hangzhou, the costs of four weddings, a total of five hundred million. Still assuming you can afford that... are your parents willing to go along with this charade for you?"

"They, they might be busy taking care of a second child, I’m trying..." Li Peifeng felt increasingly unsure.

"Just keep trying."

Huang Tianxuan clearly lost interest in continuing the conversation, waved her hand and said: "I’m leaving, remember to drive to Yandu University to bring me lunch tomorrow noon."

"Tsk, buying a car just to deliver takeout for you?"

Li Peifeng drove the Mercedes G-Class home, rolled down the window slightly to feel the cold wind on his face, and thought about the destined turbulent future. He recited a line from the Analects;

"A gentleman cannot but be resolute and broad-minded, for he has taken up a heavy responsibility and a long course. Taking humanity as one’s burden, is it not heavy? And is it not long when death ends it?"

The road to the harem is long and arduous.

...

"Husband, let’s go!"

"Bon voyage, MUA~"

On Friday, Xu Manning boarded a train for a business trip, while on the same day, Li Peifeng had a lecture to prepare with Yu Hua, and he also had to attend a large group meeting.

The group meeting on the first day of school was just a warm-up. This time, it was the main event where each group reported on the work progress and results during the winter break and shared their future plans.

Therefore, in the morning, after dropping off Xu Manning at the train station in the G-Class gifted by Huang Tianxuan, Li Peifeng returned to the school.

Busy as ever, the day hurriedly passed. In the morning, each project group member reported in turns. After lunch, they spent half a day debating aimlessly without any productive outcome, arguing over pointless sophistries, and debating scriptures.

By four in the afternoon, everyone had dispersed.

"Senior Brother, let us treat you to a meal." Lin Zhihui approached Li Peifeng and said quietly, "Thanks to your help with the PPT today, otherwise, Lu Jing and I would have been in trouble."

Li Peifeng chuckled: "No need to be polite, no need for a meal, I already have plans with someone else, you two go ahead."

Lu Jing curiously asked, "Which female friend are you meeting this time?"

"A male friend."

The two junior sisters looked at each other: "Senior Brother, have you changed your sexual orientation?"

But Li Peifeng ignored them, left the classroom, and headed to the south gate of the school to meet at the restaurant Guan Er Hotpot, where he happened to run into Bai Qingchuan and Shen Liao he had agreed to meet, coming out from the graduate student dormitory, and bumped into each other.

"Having a drink today?" Bai Qingchuan lifted his heavy coat, revealing a bottle of Huang Gai Baofen liquor in his arms.

Li Peifeng’s eyes lit up: "Oh, changing tastes? Not going with Niu Er this time?"

"Since you’re treating, let’s get some good liquor."

Shen Liao asked again: "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to a meal?"

"Just to chat casually, we’ll talk while eating at the restaurant."

Both Shen Liao and Li Peifeng majored in the same field, focusing on contemporary literature research, while Bai Qingchuan specialized in ancient literature, but both were top students in their studies.

The reason Li Peifeng invited them for dinner was to discuss the recruitment for a copywriting position for a triple-entity company. But since they were classmates, he couldn’t bring it up directly, so at the restaurant, he broached the topic as they ate hot pot.

"I see that spring recruitment is about to start, have you two prepared anything yet?"

Bei Hua Normal University, being the number one teacher training school in the country, has no worries about employment. Additionally, both have master’s degrees, so many places are competing for them, and it’s just a matter of whether the job suits them.

Shen Liao was a bit lost, saying he hadn’t decided whether to become a teacher, take a civil service exam, or enter a company, only that he wanted to stay and work in his hometown in the Capital, so he’d wait for Spring recruitment to truly begin to consider.

Bai Qingchuan, on the other hand, had a clear goal: "I want to pursue further doctoral studies. I’ve already spoken to my advisor about this, but I don’t have enough money, so I’m looking for some part-time work. Great writer, if you have any money-making opportunities, let me know."
