Not long after, Xu Manman also found out that the two of them were purchasing agents for the factory. This time they were going to Hangzhou to purchase raw materials, and they had to go to Hai City first to get a special car, so their destination was the same.

This basic situation is actually nothing.

When the two heard that the brother and sister were still single, the purchasing agent surnamed Wang from across the street enthusiastically recommended his 18-year-old sister to Chen Ming.

"My younger sister graduated from junior high school and is now a regular employee at a food factory. She's very hardworking and manages everything at home. Xiaoming, when you return to Beijing, when will you have time to get to know the young people?"

The sudden enthusiasm made Chen Ming feel at a loss, but he still thanked Wang Caigou for his kindness first, and then politely declined.

Xu Manman was looking forward to the show at first, but when she heard Chen Ming's refusal, she couldn't help but sigh and became even more worried. What should she do?

The two people opposite were on a business trip and received meal allowances. When it was time for dinner, they got up and went to the dining car and warmly invited the two people.

Chen Ming took out a few net bags he had brought with him and said, "No need, Brother Wang, Brother Li. We bought a lot of food this morning, so this will be enough for lunch."

The two of them looked at the opened lunch boxes filled with braised food, mostly meat, and knew that the two college siblings didn't have money to go to the food truck, but that they could eat better here.

However, Wang the Purchaser became even more determined to match Chen Ming and Xiaomei.

They work in purchasing and travel all over the country, meeting many people. From the way the brother and sister dress and talk, one can tell that they have a good family background and upbringing. Moreover, they were among the first batch of college students after the college entrance examination was resumed last year, and they were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

The future prospects can be imagined. If this person can be won over in advance, it will be a great help to oneself in the future.

The brother and sister were still unaware of the purchasing manager's intricate tricks. Xu Manman chewed the braised pig ears in her mouth. They tasted delicious, but she always felt like something was missing.

He took out a small bottle of chili sauce from his backpack, which he also bought at the grocery store. He added it in and mixed it all together. Chen Ming kept nodding his head as he ate it. Paired with the soft steamed buns, he couldn't stop eating one bite after another.

When the two purchasers came back from dinner, Chen Ming was washing lunch boxes in the bathroom. Seeing that only the little girl was there, the two grown men didn't want to talk to her directly. However, Purchaser Wang had his own thoughts and started to speak.

"Little girl, your brother is not young anymore. Although he is studying, the elders should still be a little anxious, right?"

Xu Manman put down the book and replied, "My uncle and aunt got married relatively late, so they're not in a hurry about this matter. My second cousin has also been admitted to university, and they both said they'll talk about it after he finishes his studies."

The elders' pressure to get married doesn't work here, but Wang Caigou doesn't give up. "They say there's no rush, but it takes three or four years to finish college. Even if I can't get married during my studies, I can prepare for it if I find a good partner."

Li, the purchaser next to him, also knew what his colleague meant. They were all shrewd people, so who knew who? Now he also followed suit, "Yeah, let's talk about it now. We can get married right after graduation, and it won't delay anything."

Xu Manman wasn't stupid either. On the contrary, she supported her cousin in finding a partner. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable with his obvious eagerness. She smiled and said, "It all depends on fate. My cousin doesn't seem to be in a hurry either, so there's nothing we can do to interfere."

Xu Manman originally thought that she was going to play a round of Tai Chi with him, but unexpectedly, Li Caigou on the opposite side changed the subject.

"If your eldest cousin isn't in a hurry, then you can consider it. Girls are already quite old when they graduate from college, so you should start preparing early. I have an older nephew who's about the same age as you. How about we exchange contact information so you two can communicate more?"

Xu Manman really didn't expect that the fire could burn her, and she was stunned for a moment.

Chen Ming came back after washing the lunch box and just heard what Li Caigou said. When he walked over, his face looked a little unhappy.

He placed the lunch box with water in it on the table with a clang, then stood in front of Xu Manman and looked at the person opposite.

"Thank you for your concern, brothers. However, my family advocates for late marriage and late childbirth. We should establish a career first and then start a family. My sister was also raised in the palm of our hands. Even after graduation, she wants to stay at home for two more years. Therefore, I will not consider finding a partner in the next few years to avoid distracting her studies."

Although the words were polite, every word was a rejection of what they had said before. The two felt a little embarrassed after hearing it. They had wanted to promote a good thing, but ended up being rejected in the face.
