311: There is no need for a bride price, right?

"Please don't say that."

Hearing Grandpa Shen's words, Guo's Father quickly said.

"That's right! Luoyan is such an excellent child, for our Guo Hao to be able to marry her, that is a blessing cultivated over three lifetimes! Family background or anything like that, it's not important at all! We don't care about these things at all!"

Guo's mother next to him quickly said to Grandpa Shen who was beside her.

Grandpa Shen smiled and exchanged glances with Grandma Shen beside him.

He looked at Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan on the side, then his gaze fell upon Guo's Father and Guo's mother.

"Regarding this matter, we two old men won't interfere. If Luoyan and Guo Hao are both willing, we two old men won't interfere. We agree."

Grandpa Shen said to Guo's Father and Guo's mother with a smile.

Hearing Grandpa Shen's words, Guo's Father and Guo's mother showed happy expressions on their faces.

"Good, good, good! So, the matter of the two young people is settled like this? Uncle, regarding the betrothal gift, we..."

Guo's Father pondered for a moment.

The betrothal gift is a traditional custom, Guo's Father was not prepared to save this money.

"Betrothal gift? No need to give it. It's enough that the two children get along well! When money is involved in this kind of thing, the flavor changes! Besides, we two old people can't give much in return gifts."

Grandpa Shen said to Guo's Father with a smile.

"But this is a custom... As for return gifts, it's okay, you don't have to give them, we..."

"No way! Although my family is poor, we won't be ambiguous about return gifts. One thing is one thing. If you give a betrothal gift, we will return double the amount. Even if we have to sell our old bones, we will definitely raise this money!"

Grandpa Shen said directly to Guo's Father without any hesitation.

Hearing Grandpa Shen's words, Guo's Father and Guo's mother both showed helpless expressions in their eyes.

Something like a betrothal gift is not just a guarantee for the woman's side; in essence, it is also a matter of face for both families. Putting a large sum of money on the table proves the strong financial capability of the groom's family.

Therefore, wealthy families actually don't strongly object to things like betrothal gifts.

Guo's Father and Guo's mother were not ordinary people in Gan City; they were considered well-off, with some savings in their home. On this matter, they naturally wanted to provide a sufficiently generous betrothal gift.

But they didn't expect Grandpa Shen to say such a thing...

"Dad, Mom, since Grandpa has already said so, then forget it. We'll just put more effort into the other ceremonies!"

Guo Hao smiled and said to Guo's Father and Guo's mother.

"Just give a symbolic betrothal gift!"

"Alright, that's more like it!"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen both showed smiles on their faces, clearly approving of Guo Hao's words.

"Alright..."

Guo's Father and Guo's mother showed bitter smiles in their eyes.

What else could they say? They could only respect it.

Next was discussing some details of the engagement with Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.

Wang Xi next to him was not interested in these things; he was secretly enjoying the feast.

The two families discussed and agreed on the engagement time and some details for the engagement ceremony.

This meal lasted until eight or nine in the evening.

Only then did they stand up and leave the hotel together.

When Guo Hao and the others walked downstairs, Xu Yuan had been waiting downstairs.

Seeing Guo Hao walk down, Xu Yuan immediately opened the car door.

On the way back, it was still the same as before.

Guo's Father, Guo's mother, Grandpa Shen, and Grandma Shen were in one car, and Wang Xi, Guo Hao, and Shen Luoyan were in another car.

Xu Yuan first arrived at Shen Luoyan's house.

He sent Shen Luoyan, Grandpa Shen, and Grandma Shen back home.

After sending Shen Luoyan home.

The car started and left.

"Hao Ge, Beijing should be really good!"

Wang Xi said to Guo Hao beside him, slightly excited.

"It's not bad, at least better than Gan City."

Guo Hao smiled and said casually to Wang Xi.

"Hehe!"

At this moment, Wang Xi had already begun to fantasize about his happy life in Beijing.

Lying flat by his brother's side, being a good-for-nothing, and playing games every day.

It was too damn good!

Just as Wang Xi was fantasizing.

"We're here."

Xu Yuan beside him suddenly spoke.

"Oh, oh!"

Wang Xi's fantasy was interrupted by the sound, and he quickly opened the car door.

He got out of the car.

After Wang Xi got out of the car.

Guo Hao suddenly asked Xu Yuan.

"Xu Yuan, what do you think about letting this Wang Xi help me keep an eye on the finances of the super conductor factory?"

Hearing Guo Hao's sudden question.

Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

He said to Guo Hao with a smile.

"Given your current status, there aren't too many people who dare to deceive you anymore. However, a super conductor factory like this involves too many complex interests. With you backing him,"

"there shouldn't be too big of a problem, but if he dares to touch the accounts, he will still suffer a bit."

Xu Yuan himself was someone from within the system; he had some understanding of certain people.

There was nothing that could be done about this; when the water is too clear, there are no fish. This kind of thing cannot be changed. Nothing is absolutely pure; that is impossible!

As long as humans are managing things, it's completely normal for some problems like this to occur.

"Letting him train is also good. Xu Yuan, if he is in danger, I'll trouble you to help take care of him. If there's no danger, let him train himself."

"This kid is actually not bad, but he really lacks training. Throwing him into that factory to gain experience will also be good for him. Maybe he can even have a decent future!"

Guo Hao smiled slightly and said to Xu Yuan.

"Okay!"

Xu Yuan nodded.

"Oh, right, where are you staying tonight?"

At this moment, Guo Hao asked Xu Yuan.

"Want to stay at my place? There are still rooms anyway."

"No need. I'm currently temporarily attached to the local Security Bureau, and rooms are allocated there. I also ate at the Security Bureau's cafeteria tonight."

Xu Yuan said to Guo Hao with a smile.

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

While they were talking, the car had already arrived downstairs at Guo Hao's house.

After Xu Yuan parked the car steadily, he immediately got out and opened the car door for Guo Hao.

"I'm leaving."

"Walk slowly."

Saying that, Guo Hao walked upstairs.

Dad and Mom had already returned home first and were calculating the household accounts.

"Are you calculating the betrothal gift?"

Guo Hao smiled and asked Guo's Father and Guo's mother who were on the side.

"No, no."

Guo's Father said with a smile.

"Your Mom and I are considering whether to buy a house for you and Luoyan in the county town, and we're calculating it! Then there's the matter of gifts; your Mom and I are planning to buy some good ones."

"The engagement ceremony will also be held a bit grandly."

Guo's Father said to Guo Hao.

"After all, their daughter is marrying into our family, we can't treat this girl poorly!"

"You don't need to buy a house, right!"

Guo Hao said with a bitter smile, looking at Guo's Father and Guo's mother.

"I've already bought a house in Beijing, and it's a villa. We probably won't come home very often in the future, so just live here. It's pretty good."
