It seems he has achieved good results in the local area. This performance review is useless, he will be promoted next time. Jiang Wanqing turned her head to look at Qin Meng and slightly curled her lips. It would be good to match the two of them.
“Um… Huanren, where do you live? How about we give you a ride on our way?” Jiang Wanqing suggested.
Fortunately, there's still room for one more person in the car, which would allow him to interact and communicate with Qin Meng more, which is a good thing.
"I'm staying at a guesthouse."
"Let's go, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas. It's so late, and you're alone on the road. Even though you're a man, there are bound to be some safety concerns."
Qin Meng smiled and looked down. Jiang Wanqing squeezed her fingers, her eyes encouraging.
"Well... alright, then I'll leave it to you."
"It's no trouble at all."
Jiang Wanqing sat in the back seat first, and Qin Meng sat in the middle. As soon as they got in the car, Yue Shuzhen noticed the situation and clicked her tongue almost inaudibly.
"What I said came true, Qin Meng, you're lucky."
"Pfft..." Shen Huan realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
Everyone teased her, making Qin Meng blush. Luckily, the car was dimly lit, so no one could see anyone else's face clearly, otherwise her bright red face would have given her away.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Huanren felt like he was listening to them speak in riddles, so he asked.
"It's nothing, we were just joking with Qin Meng. How long does Huanren plan to stay in the Beijing area this time? We'll treat you to a meal another day."
Shen Huan glanced at herself in the rearview mirror and thought to herself that this was the most clever thing she had done recently. Jiang Wanqing silently gave her a thumbs up.
"I'm not so sure about that, but I'll definitely treat you to dinner. If you hadn't agreed to build a factory in the county where I work, I wouldn't have grown so quickly."
He shyly pushed up his glasses.
"Sigh, that's because of your own hard work and cooperation with Wanqing, otherwise the factory wouldn't have been built."
“Shen Huan is right, it’s your own ability, we dare not take credit for it.”
Over the years, Jiang Wanqing and her team have successively cooperated with many local cities and counties to build factories. Huanren was the most cooperative person. He deserves all the success he has achieved today.
"Oh, by the way, Huanren, haven't the factories in your county kept up with our upgrades? Why don't you take someone back with you this time to help you renovate them? It could double your existing economic income!"
Yue Shuzhen also joined this silent matchmaking effort.
But she was so focused on driving that she didn't dare to get distracted. She didn't notice Huanren's gaze, which unconsciously drifted towards Jiang Wanqing, making a very small movement.
About ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the guesthouse. Huan Ren thanked them and got out of the car. Qin Meng's eyes followed his back as he walked in until he disappeared from sight.
Shen Huan turned around and waved her hand in front of Qin Meng's eyes.
"Hey, still looking? Everyone else has left. Has it really fallen?"
"No way, don't talk nonsense..."
"Oh, oh, oh, who's talking nonsense? Your face and eyes look so honest."
"Alright, stop teasing her. After all these years, don't you know she's the shyest one among us?" Jiang Wanqing said, trying to defuse the situation.
"But to be honest, I never realized Huanren was so charming when we were in school. He's much better than those pot-bellied men. He and Qin Meng are quite a good match," Yue Shuzhen remarked.
"It's not even close to happening yet, don't talk about it, I... I never said I liked him."
"You're getting shy now? Fine, if you don't like it, then I'll introduce Comrade Huanren to my relatives."
"Don't……"
"Hahaha……"
Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the car as Jiang Wanqing, Yue Shuzhen, and Shen Huan discussed how to bring this good match together.
After that day, they inquired about what Huanren was doing. They learned that he was reporting to his superiors and, knowing it was inconvenient to disturb him, they arranged to have a meal together before he returned home, as a farewell dinner.
Huanren's report to the authorities ended three days later. Jiang Wanqing hosted a dinner at a hotel, booking a private room for some acquaintances.
Cheng Ran happened to have time that day, so he brought him along. Hong Xing and Molly also attended, because they had already passed their parents' approval and were planning to get married on an auspicious day. They wanted to share in the joy and liven up the atmosphere.
On the way to the hotel, Cheng Ran was driving, and Jiang Wanqing was sitting in the passenger seat. He suddenly mentioned it.
"Is Qin Meng interested in Huan Ren, or is it the other way around?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that? Is there a difference?"
He turned his head slightly to look at him: "If Qin Meng had liked Huan Ren, this might not have worked out, after all, he liked..."
Cheng Ran hesitated, then pursed his lips, saying nothing more. Both of them understood. Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and clicked her tongue.
"That's all in the past. I made things clear with him a long time ago. Everyone should look forward. If we don't create opportunities for them, how do we know he's not interested in Qin Meng?"
"Well, you have a point. I just don't want everyone to be too optimistic, so that they won't be able to accept being suddenly given a cold shower later."
He knew perfectly well that his participation in the farewell banquet for Huanren was partly to join in the fun and help them reunite, but also because he was still worried about them…
"Alright, don't overthink it. You'll see when you get there. Besides, Qin Meng is planning to work at Huanren's factory when she goes back. They'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time together in the future."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran's eyes lit up. So, he was just worrying unnecessarily?
He didn't say much, and the two of them quickly arrived at the hotel. Qin Meng and the other two had arrived earlier. When they saw Jiang Wanqing come in, Yue Shuzhen couldn't help but tease her.
"When you pushed the door open just now, Qin Meng's eyes widened. She thought it was Huan Ren, but she didn't expect it to be you."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter. Qin Meng patted Yue Shuzhen's arm, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Not long after, Molly and Hung Hing came in. The two were now seriously dating, holding hands and being very affectionate.
"We're not late, are we?"
"No, the male protagonist hasn't arrived yet, how could you be late?"
Yue Shuzhen's mouth can sometimes be so sharp and venomous, it's both funny and infuriating. But since we're all friends, we chat and laugh, and the waiting time passes quickly.
The staff served the dishes one after another. About half of them were served when Huanren finally arrived late, carrying two large bags of gifts to distribute to everyone, all with a big smile.
"I'm sorry, I was busy tidying up my dorm and it took me a while to keep you waiting."
"Clean up the dorm?" Cheng Ran raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you going back?"
"Haha, this is all thanks to everyone. I'll probably be working in the Beijing area for a long time to come. They transferred me here."
"Wow! That means we'll have more opportunities to meet in the future! Congratulations!" Shen Huan said with a smile, glancing at the shy Qin Meng.
