Chapter 647 Wedding Candy (2/2)

Li Xiuyuan introduced the two with a smile. The introduction seemed unremarkable, but his words carried a deeper meaning. When introducing Wang Zhitao, the first half of his sentence was normal, but he added the second half: "We are also quite good friends in private."

This is completely different. Only the first half of the sentence is official, but the second half carries a sense of personal feelings.

"Teacher Su, hello, hello! I remember now, we met before, after the mobilization meeting before the start of the first phase of the project, on the way back to town..."

Wang Zhitao looked at Su Ziying and said, "A girl as beautiful as Su Ziying will leave an impression after just one meeting."

However, Su Ziying had no impression of Wang Zhitao. She did remember this incident because Li Xiuyuan invited her and Wang Yi to get on the bus together, saying that they didn't need to take the bus.

She didn't remember whether Wang Zhitao was on the bus at the time, only that there were quite a few people on the bus.

However, Su Ziying was not without emotional intelligence. She smiled and said, "Hello, Director Wang. Last time you saved us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Teacher Wang and I don't know how long we would have had to wait for a bus back to town."

Hearing the two exchanging pleasantries, Li Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, no need to be so polite, please sit down. Zhitao came over because he needs something?"

Li Xiuyuan handed the water glass to Su Ziying, and at the same time looked at Wang Zhitao and asked.

Wang Zhitao smiled and nodded: "Li Zhen, I'm here to bring you wedding candy. We got engaged yesterday."

As Wang Zhitao spoke, he placed the wedding candy in his hand on Li Xiuyuan's table. Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Zhitao."

As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he reached for the wedding candies on the table, grabbed a handful, and handed them to Su Ziying, who was standing next to him: "Teacher Su, you can share in the joy too."

Su Ziying smiled and nodded, thanked them, took the package, opened one, and put it in her mouth.

"When is the wedding date set?" Li Xiuyuan asked Wang Zhitao.

October 1st, National Day.

"Great, a good day, National Day, a time of universal celebration, it'll be double happiness." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile. Wang Zhitao also smiled and said, "Li Zhen, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your introduction, Tingting and I would never have gotten together..."

As Wang Zhitao spoke, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and shook his head, wanting to say a few words of modesty. But Wang Zhitao added, "I don't have much experience in dating. If it weren't for you, Li Zhen, constantly sharing your experience with me, our relationship wouldn't have progressed so quickly."

As Wang Zhitao spoke, Li Xiuyuan's face darkened. He subconsciously looked at Su Ziying beside him, only to meet Su Ziying's ambiguous smile. To be honest, if Su Ziying hadn't been there, Wang Zhitao's words wouldn't have been a problem.

But Su Ziying was watching closely. Wasn't Wang Zhitao just trying to make himself look bad by saying he had a lot of dating experience?

"Cough cough cough." Li Xiuyuan quickly interrupted Wang Zhitao: "Alright, Zhitao, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get back to work."

"Okay, Li Zhen, I'll go take care of my work." Wang Zhitao could tell that Li Xiuyuan was unhappy, so he got up and walked out, but stopped when he reached the door.

"Oh, right, Mr. Li, there's something else. Tingting said she'd like to see when you'd be available so she can have a meal at your house to thank you."
