I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1024: A toad yawning, but with a big mouth.

December in Nanjing is already winter. Due to the continuous cloudy weather, the weather is getting colder and colder. Li Xu and Fang Linghua are entertaining a couple of business partners from Shanghai at home.

After the meal, the two men went to the study, while the two women went to Fang Linghua's private reception room.

After chatting for a while, Fang Linghua asked him about some things.

A while ago, Fang Linghua asked around and inquired everywhere. You would think she could find out something, but strangely enough, she couldn't find out anything about Tang Ruixuan's family background.

This made Fang Linghua's heart skip a beat. She knew that if she could find out some information, that would be fine. What she was afraid of was that if she couldn't find out anything, either the family information registered in the school materials was fake, or the family had an extremely powerful background.

After chatting with Xu Jia for a while, Fang Linghua casually mentioned the matter. Her idea was simple: whether there was a chance or not, it was just a casual topic to talk about. Women are all fond of discussing these things, and if someone could help think of a solution or inquire about it, wouldn't that be even better?

"Sister Xu, to be honest, things really don't always go according to a mother's wishes when it comes to children. I don't know what got into my son, but he actually fell for a freshman girl and even bought her a watch. Unfortunately, she didn't like it and he returned it. He was just trying to win her over."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jia exclaimed in surprise, "Your Wenbo is so outstanding, yet none of those girls have taken a liking to him? Your standards are too high! What is there about Wenbo that he lacks? He has a good family background and great talent. Has that girl lost her mind?"

Xu Jia's words resonated with Fang Linghua: "That's right! I think so too. My son, whom I raised with so much effort, is being treated like dirt by someone else. Can you imagine how angry I am?"

"Of course I'd be angry. I'd be angry too," Xu Jia said, expressing sympathy for Fang Linghua's plight.

Fang Linghua then revealed her true thoughts: "Sister Xu, that young girl is from your Shanghai. You know a lot of people, so maybe you can get to know this young girl too."

"What's your name, little girl? What does your family do?" Xu Jia asked casually, just to be polite. There are so many people in Shanghai, how could she possibly know so many? She only knows those in the industry and the more famous ones. But often, she knows others, but they may not know her. After all, there are different levels in the industry.

"The little girl's name is quite nice, Tang Ruixuan. Her father owns a restaurant, and her mother's surname is Zeng. It is said that she works in a public institution in a certain district of Shanghai, but her parents' specific names are unknown. That's why I couldn't find out anything about her family situation even after asking around."

Upon hearing the name Tang Ruixuan, Xu Jia's first feeling was that she seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where she was from, so she started racking her brains.

However, she racked her brains but still couldn't remember, so she had no choice but to get up and go to the study to find her man.

"Honey, can you help me think of something? Do you know the name Tang Ruixuan?"

Her husband casually remarked, "You're asking about the daughter of President Tang from Huahong Group, right? You've met that girl before!" After saying that, he asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you asking about President Tang's daughter? What's the matter?"

When Xu Jia was reminded by the man, the previously chaotic fragments of rumors were immediately put together. Many people in Shanghai's wealthy circles knew that Tang Jianhua's daughter from Huahong Group was very outstanding. It was said that she was admitted to Jinan University with high scores, which made many people envious, and of course, even more people were jealous.

Tang Jianhua's wife's surname is Zeng. Combining this with what Fang Linghua just told her, the girl's name is Tang Ruixuan, her family owns a restaurant, and her mother's surname is Zeng. Doesn't that all make sense?

She immediately slapped her thigh, extremely annoyed: "What a jerk I am!" Then she hurriedly went to find Fang Linghua.

After she left, the two men continued their conversation, mainly about investment in industrial upgrading.

After Xu Jia met Fang Linghua, he confirmed with her again: "That girl's name is Tang Ruixuan, her father owns a restaurant, and her mother used to work in a district-level public institution, right?"

"Yes!" Now it was Fang Linghua's turn to be confused. How come she came back like a completely different person after going there?

Xu Jia then asked, "What kind of watch did your Wenbo give to that person?"

"Cartier Ballon Bleu pieces."

Xu Jia's face clearly showed a disdainful expression.

"Then it's probably better not to send it at all."

Upon hearing this, Fang Linghua quickly asked, "Sister Xu, do you know her?"

Xu Jia waved his hand and said modestly, "Oh, it's hard to say we know each other. We've only met a few times."

Fang Linghua could tell that this young girl named Tang Ruixuan must come from an extraordinary family, otherwise Xu Jia wouldn't have had that expression.

She asked cautiously, "Doesn't her family own a restaurant?"

"A restaurant?" Xu Jia chuckled to himself.

"Please help me! Linghua, don't you even know about Hua Hongyan?"

Hua Hong Yan? Fang Linghua certainly knew about it. It was known as the benchmark for high-end catering in the Yangtze River Delta region, with stores all over major cities in the region. What was even more amazing was that the taste of the dishes was exactly the same in all those stores. In other words, the dishes you ate at the Nanjing store tasted the same as those you ate at the Hangzhou store. This precise control over the dishes was quite impressive, and everything was made fresh in the kitchen without any semi-finished products.

Moreover, it is said that the owner of Hua Hong Banquet has a lot of influence. Catering is just one of his many businesses. He is also involved in other industries such as budget hotels, guesthouses, fast-moving consumer goods, and pharmaceuticals. These businesses are all very large in scale.

I never expected that Tang Ruixuan was actually his daughter?

Fang Linghua was startled by this news: "You mean, Hua Hongyan is that young girl's daughter?"

"If you're not mistaken, then it must be her."

At this point, Xu Jia looked at Fang Linghua with a half-smile.

You think you can get close to Miss Tang with just a Cartier watch? No wonder Miss Tang looks down on her son. He even tried to find out about her family background. Now that he knows, let's see what he does!

In Shanghai's social circles, everyone knows that the Tang family's threshold is not one that just anyone can climb. As far as Xu Jia knows, several wealthy and powerful families with extremely deep roots have had such thoughts before, but what happened? It's obvious—no one has mentioned it again.

Actually, it wouldn't be so bad if it were just the Tang family alone, but who is Tang Jianhua's brother-in-law? That's Huang Xiaochuan! Looking around, how many families can compare?

Thinking about this, Xu Jiayue felt that Fang Linghua was overestimating herself, and judging from her tone earlier, she had already looked down on Tang Ruixuan.

That's like a toad yawning—it's all talk and no action.
