After arriving at work, Wang Zhitao came to report on his work, and Li Xiuyuan asked him about his progress with Lu Ting.
When Wang Zhitao heard Li Xiuyuan mention this matter, he stammered and his face turned a little red. His relationship with Lu Ting was progressing. After all, they were both of similar age and felt that things were about right, so naturally things would progress faster.
The two went on a date over the weekend, went to see a movie, and held hands.
"Haha, what? Are you embarrassed? When will he take you home?" Li Xiuyuan pressed, not because he was gossipy, but because he was eager to get Lu Zhenhai onto his side.
Lu Zhenhai is not very noticeable in the central town. One reason is that Lu Zhenhai is not sociable, and the other is that he is indifferent to worldly affairs. But everyone has desires, it's just that he has no interest in profit or advancement.
If Wang Zhitao became his son-in-law, and he only had one daughter, how could he not care about her?
Moreover, his wife passed away early, and he raised his daughter alone. They must have a deep bond, so there's no reason for him to abandon her.
"We didn't talk about that. Besides, Deputy Secretary Lu has met me before, so there's no need for us to meet at his home," Wang Zhitao said somewhat embarrassedly.
For other couples, bringing their partner home is mainly for their parents to assess the other person, but this is different for Wang Zhitao and Lu Ting, as Wang Zhitao and Lu Zhenhai work in the same company.
These are people we see in our daily work, so what's there to investigate?
Listening to Wang Zhitao's words, Li Xiuyuan knew that Wang Zhitao did not understand what he meant. Of course, they met, but the location of the meeting was different, so the meaning was also different.
Meeting at work is a superior-subordinate relationship, a working relationship. But bringing the child home privately is the new son-in-law's first visit. Can the significance of that meeting be the same?
However, Li Xiuyuan certainly wouldn't say it outright, otherwise it would seem like he was in a great hurry, and it would give Wang Zhitao a different impression. He reached out, took out a cigarette, tossed it to Wang Zhitao, lit one for himself, and then said with a smile, "What you said is true. You and Deputy Secretary Lu meet often, so it doesn't matter where you are."
Wang Zhitao nodded.
Just then, Li Xiuyuan changed the subject and said, "But your parents haven't met Lu Ting, have they? You've already met the girl's parents, but the girl hasn't met the boy's parents yet. Is that appropriate?"
Wang Zhitao was stunned upon hearing this. If that's the case, then it really is true.
Li Xiuyuan exhaled a smoke ring, then added fuel to the fire with a smile: "Maybe Deputy Secretary Lu is just waiting for you to take your daughter to meet the man's parents. There's no reason for the man to have met the woman's parents but keep delaying the woman from meeting the man's parents. That wouldn't be right, and it would easily make the woman have objections..."
Wang Zhitao's mind couldn't keep up with Li Xiuyuan's pace. With just a few words from Li Xiuyuan, Wang Zhitao was rendered speechless and started following Li Xiuyuan's train of thought.
