Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2221: Chapter 2222: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Lady 41

"Zhan Min really has a good eye," Zhang Yu suddenly said.

Qian Hao’s expression was already not too good; upon hearing this, his face turned completely dark.

Zhao Yadong saw his friend’s expression and laughed happily, "Indeed, she has quite an eye."

Qian Hao looked at the duo who were singing each other’s praises and said somewhat irritably, "By the way, Zhang Li has been pursuing Qiao Xue recently, and there are signs that she’s wavering."

Zhang Yu was chatting with Zhao Yadong about Zhan Min’s discerning eye. Upon hearing something about Zhang Li, she turned to him with excitement, "Are you saying Zhang Li is really pursuing Qiao Xue?"

"Yes, pursuing Qiao Xue. Primarily, Zhang Li appeared too early." Qian Hao hadn’t thought that Zhang Li would be so lucky.

"Appeared too early?" Just hearing this, you know there’s definitely a story here, and it’s something the original protagonist didn’t know about, so he looked up at Qian Hao.

Zhao Yadong, upon hearing that there might be gossip to listen to, also turned to his friend.

"The Qiao family just arranged a matchmaking event not long ago."

Arranging matchmaking for Qiao Xue? Zhang Yu didn’t find it surprising, after all, the Qiao family had made up their mind to let their only daughter marry well to bring benefits to the family, arranging matchmaking was normal since a girl’s bloom period is quite short.

"The other party has been married twice and has three daughters." Based on prior information gathered, Qian Hao knew the Qiao family’s integrity wasn’t great, but didn’t expect them to be so ruthless in plotting their daughter’s future.

Simultaneously, he could be sure that this Qiao family, which doesn’t care whether Qiao Xue will be happy in the future, would be absolutely furious when they learned that she’s undermining their plans with Zhang Li.

"What?" Zhang Yu was shocked to hear this. She knew the Qiao family wanted Qiao Xue to marry well, but didn’t expect them to be so ruthless, "Someone who’s been married twice, marrying again would make it the third marriage, Qiao Xue surely won’t agree."

Being able to raise someone as pampered as Qiao Xue meant that the Qiao family likely doted on her growing up. But when it came to her marriage, they pulled such a trick, this kid surely wouldn’t go on a rampage, wouldn’t be angry?

"Is this letting the daughter marry well, or selling the daughter?" Zhao Yadong couldn’t help but remark, "Who would choose such a man for their unmarried daughter?"

"Did the previous wives divorce because they didn’t have sons?" Zhang Yu knew some people divorced because their wives didn’t have sons, but nowadays you can have kids as you wish, there’s no need to divorce just because of that.

Zhang Yu thought for a long time and really didn’t get it, "Just because they didn’t have a son they’ll divorce?"

"What’s the scale of the family business waiting to be inherited?" Zhang Yu estimated that the other party’s family background must be good enough for the Qiao family to chase after them, "Which factory or department’s leader?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yadong also believed if the male’s family background wasn’t good, the Qiao family wouldn’t be chasing after them.

"GWH." Qian Hao mentioned a unit that surprised the two of them.

Zhang Yu gasped, "That department, oh my god, isn’t that a leader too?"

Thinking it over, given the Qiao family’s status, an ordinary small leader wouldn’t do, "Top five leaders?"

"Number two, his uncle is the number three or four in the provincial GWH, but seems to be moving up, so he’ll become number one." Qian Hao hadn’t interacted with them but knew about the family’s situation.

Okay, Zhang Yu understood why the Qiao family would marry their daughter to them, the allure was too great. She glanced at Qian Hao, "Is the family no good?"

"His uncle ascended by stepping over his teacher’s family, oh, his uncle’s previous wife was his teacher’s daughter. If he hadn’t married this woman, he wouldn’t know where he’d be assigned." Qian Hao genuinely looked down on such a person.

Zhang Yu understood, people like this have poor character, "Nowadays there are many such people, what about his previous in-laws?"

"They went to the Northwest to plant trees. However, he’s not great, but his two children don’t take after him, insisted on following their grandparents to the Northwest after learning about his behavior." At least the father-daughter pair wasn’t a total failure.

Listening to Qian Hao’s reply, Zhang Yu found it odd, "Don’t tell me you know the family that went to the Northwest?" Otherwise, even if a bit emotional, he wouldn’t be so worked up.

"The old man is my dad’s college professor." Qian Hao thought for a bit before slowly replying.

Ah, well that makes sense, otherwise, why would he be so worked up about it, "Did your dad..."

"My dad looked into it but couldn’t establish contact," Qian Hao also didn’t know the exact situation. Many who were sent away couldn’t be contacted, "Many farms are strictly managed."

Zhang Yu was pondering whether the person might have gone to a secret base, considering there are many such bases in the Northwest, but she didn’t want to be nosy; after all, she didn’t know if Qian Hao really knew, and asking about specialties might feel abrupt.

"No news is good news. In any case, at least they are together," Zhang Yu comforted.

Qian Hao made a sound of acknowledgement, "That’s what my dad thinks too."

"By the way, for someone to rise so quickly, can’t just be because they sold out the teacher, right?" Selling out family, friends, lovers, and teachers — many do that, but promotion doesn’t come this fast. There must be other reasons.

"His later wife was quite formidable," Qian Hao muttered vaguely.

Zhang Yu gave an "oh," understanding that this person later likely relied on someone powerful. There might be another possibility too, perhaps wearing a metaphorical ’green hat’ (being cuckolded), but at least the position was decent, having made it to the provincial level.

"Given the chance, will you make a move?" Zhang Yu asked, thinking Qian Hao probably wouldn’t have the guts since that department is so popular now, and given that they’re in the Northeast, they can’t really take action.

"Others will," Qian Hao said meaningfully.

Zhang Yu understood, it’s just that this person rose quickly and must have blocked many people’s paths, surely stoking dissatisfaction. It’s just not the right time to act yet. When the right opportunity arises, someone will definitely act.

Thinking back to when the original protagonist was around, whether Qiao Xue would marry Zhang Li after two years, assuming Qiao Xue goes through with it.

It’s not certain whether Zhang Gui and the others know that the Qiao family’s matchmaking candidate is such a powerful figure, whether they’d rethink.

They are the least keen on interacting with GWH people, knowing Qiao Xue’s situation now, unsure how they’d decide.

"Should we share this information with the Zhang Family?" Zhang Yu was somewhat regretful, truly hadn’t anticipated the Qiao family would be so harmful to their daughter.

Now, it’s possible they’d drag themselves into it, alas.

"Even if we tell them, it’s too late; sending mail there takes at least eight to nine days, and if anything’s been arranged, love will have cooled like flowers become cold vegetables."

"Let things take their course." Qian Hao knew most people avoid dealing with GWH individuals.

Yes, let things take their course, "Exactly, let nature take its course." Perhaps not warning them would be better; once warned, maybe the Zhang Family would panic.
