Chapter 145 Finding Another Partner
"Can't we change the criteria? It's really hard to find someone at this level who isn't married."
Director Wen dared not say that Yan Dafeng looked down on him, but who knew if the person in front of him would go and pass on the message.
"What's so difficult about that? I have someone in mind."
"Who is it?"
Wang Xiao and Director Wen both looked at Bao Ya, waiting for her to continue. Bao Ya stretched out one hand, pinched her thumb and forefinger together, and then opened her palm and remained still.
Wang Xiao and Director Wen understood; they knew they wanted money. They had already said it.
"Wait a minute."
Wang Xiao took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote an application, and then asked Director Wen to sign it. Director Wen hesitated for a moment, then took the pen and signed his name.
There was no way to resolve this situation. He was worried that the father and son would continue to cause trouble, since Zhou Zhigang was the one who had to pay for it anyway.
Wang Xiao quickly retrieved the money from the finance department and handed it directly to Bao Ya.
"Now you can talk, right?"
"Yes, you can. Your 100 yuan is well spent; after-sales service is included."
"After what?"
"Oh, it's just about helping Dafeng find a partner. You guys can deal with Zhou Zhigang, and then everything will be fine."
Bao Ya quickly counted the money, stuffed it into her pocket, took a sip of tea, and continued speaking.
"Liu Daming is from your military region too, right? Why don't we give him a call and ask..."
Before she could finish speaking, Director Wen spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Cough cough cough, Liu Daming's two kids are running all over the place, what are you going to do..."
Bao Ya looked at Director Wen with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, feeling that this leader was too unsteady, not even letting him finish speaking.
"Go on."
Wang Xiao roughly understood what she meant. He also knew Liu Daming. The Liu family had three brothers, and it wouldn't be a problem to choose one of the two. However, the two of them were farmers at home, and he didn't know if the Yan family father and daughter would be willing.
However, it depends on Lin Baoya and how she manages to fool the father and son.
Bao Ya thought for a moment and handed the phone on the table to Wang Xiao.
"Call the meat processing plant and ask my third brother to inquire whether Liu Erming has a girlfriend."
Bao Ya didn't know the meat processing plant's phone number, but she guessed Wang Xiao would.
"What if they already have a partner?"
"Don't worry, there's still the third brother. It's almost certain."
Bao Ya thought she should ask Jiang Yuan. She had heard that Aunt Liu had found a matchmaker to find a partner for Liu Erming during the New Year. She wondered if it had worked out.
She didn't ask casually. Jiang Yuan had told her that Liu Erming liked Yan Dafeng when he was in school, and he was heartbroken for a long time when he found out she was engaged.
However, Jiang Yuan told her this as a joke, saying that Liu Erming was not mentally sound, and that he didn't want a pretty wife, but insisted on finding a shrew.
"Feed~"
After the call connected, a "hello" came from the other end, which startled Bao Ya. It sounded like a shout, and she could clearly feel the anger in the voice.
"Third Brother, is that you? Did you miss me...?"
Jiang Yuan, who was originally furious, softened his heart when he heard Bao Ya call him "Third Brother" in her clear voice.
That heartless brat! He's been gone for so long and hasn't even called me once. Instead, he calls my second brother every few days, which has kept him up at night for days.
"Of course I wanted to, but you've completely forgotten about me..."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, and the tips of his ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.
Sitting at his desk, Director Song looked at the guy in front of him who spoke in a high-pitched voice and acted coy, and almost threw up his lunch.
He got up and went outside, closing the door behind him.
"Let me tell you..."
On the other end, Wang Xiao and Director Wen listened to Bao Ya rambling on the phone with Jiang Yuan for half an hour without getting to the point.
Just as Wang Xiao was about to slam his fist on the table, Bao Ya finally started asking about Liu Erming:
"Third Brother, did Liu Erming's matchmaking go well?"
"No, he thought she was too thin, saying she looked like a stick and didn't look lucky. That guy also said that when he's looking for a wife, he has to find one with a thick waist and a big butt, because that looks energetic... hahaha."
These days, it's really hard to find someone with a thick waist and a big butt. Liu Erming might as well just say Yan Dafeng's name.
Seeing that he was alone in the office, Jiang Yuan spoke without restraint, reciting everything Liu Erming had told him. He even told Bao Ya about all the embarrassing things he had done on blind dates in the past.
Bao Ya was laughing so hard she was doubled over while holding the phone, while the two people next to her shook their heads. Birds of a feather flock together; they'd never realized Jiang Yuan was so unreliable. This perfectly normal young man could go on and on about his wife's nagging.
"Third Brother, go ask him if it would be alright if I introduced Yan Dafeng to him..."
"Okay, definitely, no need to ask, I've agreed on his behalf."
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll talk to them this afternoon."
"Tell me when you have time, I'll tell Liu Erming to prepare to propose marriage."
……
Bao Ya hung up the phone and saw that the two of them were staring at her, but their expressions were hard to describe, as if they were cursing in their hearts.
It has to be said, her intuition was spot on. Wang Xiao and Director Wen were speechless; the couple had decided on this important life event for the two of them with just a phone call. The problem was, neither of them knew it.
"You, you make another call and tell Jiang Yuan to ask him properly, so that nothing goes wrong later."
Wang Xiao felt his hands trembling; he was already trying his best to control his temper. This was all so absurd, so utterly nonsensical.
Director Wen nodded hurriedly, thinking it best to get to the bottom of it.
"Why ask? It's all settled. Even if it doesn't work out there, that's something for when we get back. We can't just come back to you all."
"Don't worry about it, let's think about how to resolve Zhou Zhigang's situation."
Wang Xiao and Director Wen exchanged a glance, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense. They probably wouldn't be able to get it back, but wasn't doing this a bit too unethical?
Bao Ya wasn't worried at all. Ever since Jiang Yuan told her about Liu Erming's feelings, she had even tested it herself. Whenever Yan Dafeng was mentioned, Liu Erming's face would turn as red as a monkey's bottom, so it couldn't be faked.
Liu Erming is currently working at the dairy factory, and Jiang Yuan will probably tell him the good news after he gets off work soon.
Yan Dafeng is actually a very good choice for a daughter-in-law. She is generous and simple-minded. If she likes you, she will treat you with all her heart, and not only her, but her whole family will treat you well.
Zhou Zhigang benefited from this; right after the two got engaged, Captain Yan gave him a spot in the army. In fact, he was the same age as the third son of the Yan family, and maybe that spot was originally meant for the third son of the Yan family.
"Why don't you go and persuade Captain Yan this afternoon? Have Zhou Zhigang apologize to them later, and let's just let this matter go."
Director Wen tentatively asked Bao Ya, which made Wang Xiao frown. If they just let it go like that, Bao Ya would definitely not be happy.
"You're dreaming. That old man Yan is very stingy. It's one thing if you bully him, but if you bully his precious daughter, he'll fight you to the death."
"You should be mentally prepared. If you can get Zhou Zhigang to bleed a little money to settle this, then do it quickly and don't come up with any other crazy ideas. If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Zhigang's military enlistment spot should have originally belonged to Yan's third son."
