At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng picked up Bai Zian at the airport.

Bai Zian was obviously dressed up carefully today, with his hair combed meticulously, wearing a suit, leather shoes, a tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a workplace elite, but the omnipresent literary aura distinguished him from those workplace elites.

After getting in the car, Bai Zian said, "Master Jiang, if you see a flower shop on the road, please stop. I don't know what gift to bring to Instructor Qiao, so I might as well just give him a bouquet of all-purpose flowers."

Jiang Feng nodded and said as he drove: "A bouquet of flowers will be fine. After all, it's the first time we meet, so it's really hard to choose a gift."

Bai Zian hummed, then asked, "Master Jiang, what is the full name of this instructor Qiao?"

Jiang Feng said: "Her full name is Qiao Fenghuang."

"Qiao Fenghuang, what a good name."

Bai Zian praised her and then said, "Looking at her photos, she is indeed the type I like very much. The only problem is her occupation. I asked someone about this unit yesterday, and the information I got was just as she said, she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to fall in love.

What can I do about this? "

Jiang Feng said: "There are certainly difficulties, but I combined my calculation ability and searched half of China to find someone who is so suitable for you here. If you give up, I'm afraid you will never find someone more suitable for you than her!"

Bai Zian was quite convinced of Master Jiang's attainments in metaphysics.

After all, when they first met, he witnessed Master Jiang's miraculous ability to calculate, and later he heard a lot about Master Jiang directly or indirectly. Especially a few days ago, Brother Long specially called him, and on the phone, Brother Long praised Master Jiang highly...

Since Master Jiang said that apart from her, he would never find anyone more suitable for him, his words must not be groundless.

"Master Jiang, I wonder what kind of family background this instructor Qiao has?"

Jiang Feng did not hide anything and replied directly: "She was born into a military family. Her great-grandfather was an old Red Army soldier who died in the Anti-Japanese War. Her grandfather participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and was already a big shot when he retired. Her father is an active big shot.

She also has two uncles and two aunts, all of whom are active military personnel and hold high positions.

So, what I told you before was not just a joke. If you marry this instructor Qiao, you must be prepared to be a henpecked man. "

Bai Zian gasped when he heard this. He had already expected that the other party was not from an ordinary family.

After all, he is the son of a high-ranking official. With Master Jiang's amazing ability to deduce, he would definitely not introduce him to someone from an ordinary family. Even if he doesn't mind, he will definitely not be able to get past his parents.

But he really didn't expect that the other party's family background was so prominent.

"This... is really Alexander!"

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Anyway, Brother Bai, as long as you conquer Instructor Qiao, you will really be at the pinnacle of your life!"

Bai Zian mustered up his courage and said, "It seems that we really have to seize this opportunity. Once we miss it, I'm afraid there won't be another chance."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Based on my understanding of Instructor Qiao, she should only give you this one chance. If you two are attracted to each other, you can get married first and then fall in love. If you are not attracted to each other, then it will be a bit difficult."

Bai Zian smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jiang, you're making me nervous."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Bai, although there is only one chance, you have to believe in my ability to predict marriages. I went to so many places and chose Instructor Qiao, so there must be a reason for that.

You two can be said to be a match made in heaven. If you hadn't met, it would have been fine. But once you meet, your marriage will be sealed by the matchmaker, and I'm afraid no one in this world can separate you!"

Bai Zian's eyes widened as he asked, "Master Jiang, that's not so exaggerated, right?"

Jiang Feng said confidently: "Whether it is an exaggeration or not, you will know when you meet Instructor Qiao!"

Bai Zian was really full of anticipation when he heard this. He didn't know whether Instructor Qiao had any feelings for him or not. Anyway, he had been thinking about Instructor Qiao ever since he saw her photo yesterday.

It’s no exaggeration to say that I dreamed about Instructor Qiao last night.

Perhaps, he and Instructor Qiao are really a match made in heaven, just as Master Jiang said.

…

4:30 in the afternoon.

Provincial Women's Special Police Team.

Qiao Fenghuang completed the combat training with her teammates. After handing them over to another instructor, she returned to the dormitory to take a shower, change clothes, and even put on some light makeup, which was very rare.

After everything was done, Qiao Fenghuang walked out of the camp gate and took a taxi to XX hot pot restaurant.

She did not drive her own car to the military unit, as military vehicles could not be driven casually, and she did not want to trouble others to take her there, so she chose to take a taxi for convenience and ease.

That is to say, as an instructor, she has the power to enter and leave the army. If she were a team member, it would be difficult for her to come out and lie down.

No conversation along the way.

…

5:46 pm.

At the entrance of XX Hot Pot Restaurant, Jiang Feng and Bai Zian finally met up with Qiao Fenghuang in victory.

The moment he saw Qiao Fenghuang, Bai Zian's eyes were almost glued to her. He felt that this girl was heroic in military uniform, but she also had a heroic spirit even without the uniform, and looked very cool.

The moment Qiao Fenghuang saw Bai Zian, she was very satisfied. His unique literary temperament really caught her eye, and he looked even more handsome than in the photos.

The two looked at each other for at least ten seconds before Jiang Feng smiled and introduced the two parties.

"Hello, Instructor Qiao!"

"Hello, Professor Bai!"

"Flowers are given to beautiful women. I hope you like them."

"Thank you, very beautiful flowers, I like them."

After the two greeted each other, Bai Zian gave Qiao Fenghuang a bouquet of flowers he bought on the road.

Qiao Fenghuang took the flowers with a smile and said a few polite words before taking Jiang Feng and Bai Zian into the hot pot restaurant.

The decoration of this hot pot restaurant is very high-end and classy, ​​much better than those chain brand hot pot restaurants. Jiang Feng doesn't even need to ask to know that the prices here must be very expensive.

Soon, Qiao Fenghuang expertly brought Jiang Feng and Bai Zian to a very private box, which provided one-on-one butler service. During the entire meal, the butler would cook and portion whatever you wanted to eat, and the guests only needed to enjoy the delicious food.

However, the three of them did not come here specifically for dinner; the main purpose was a blind date, so they naturally did not need this butler-style service.

When ordering food, Qiao Fenghuang carefully asked Jiang Feng and Bai Zian about their tastes, and then ordered a lot of food, all of which were expensive.

After the waiter left, Qiao Fenghuang introduced: "This hot pot restaurant is considered the ceiling of high-end hot pot in the provincial capital. The taste is really good. It is said that this is a secret hot pot recipe passed down from the Qing Dynasty. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as it tastes good."

Bai Zian smiled and said, "Nowadays, gourmet restaurants all over the country are embarrassed to greet people if they don't have a century-old history. Regardless of whether the history and gourmet stories are true or false, they should package the store as a century-old store first. Only in this way can they attract more gourmets to come and taste it."

Qiao Fenghuang shook her head and said, "People nowadays are no longer blindly chasing after time-honored brands like they used to be. Everything still has to start from the taste and service. If the food is not delicious or the service attitude is not good, you won't be able to attract customers even if you are a 100-year-old brand, not to mention a 1,000-year-old brand."

Bai Zian nodded and said, "That's true. Just like the famous XX roast duck in the capital, it's also gone cold!"

Qiao Fenghuang said, "I've heard of that, too. The main reason is that the taste isn't as good as before, and the price is very expensive. There are too many similar roast ducks out there, so gradually no one wants to be the sucker."

Just like this, Bai Zian and Qiao Fenghuang chatted with each other, starting with the food, then talking about those century-old restaurants that have gone out of business, and then extending to the major changes that have not been seen in a century.

The two of them were chatting so happily that Jiang Feng, who had been silent the whole time, was amazed.

Soon, the hot pot base and various expensive side dishes were brought up by the waiter.

Although people in Guangxi generally cannot eat spicy food, there are still many friends who can eat spicy food. Jiang Feng and Bai Zian are such friends. Therefore, they both have a great appetite for the spicy hot pot base with its fragrant smell and attractive color.

"Mr. Jiang, Professor Bai, it's time to eat. Just help yourself to whatever you want to eat. Don't be so polite!" Qiao Fenghuang said with a smile as she started to eat the tripe.

"Well, let's eat. We have to try how delicious this high-end hot pot ceiling is." Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't be polite and started eating his favorite lamb rolls directly.

Bai Zian was equally unceremonious and started to eat the crispy duck intestines.

In the boiling hot pot, the thin mutton rolls are cooked in just a few seconds, and then dipped in the prepared dipping sauce. It is really spicy, fresh, tender and delicious, with a long aftertaste.

"No wonder Instructor Qiao said this is the ceiling of high-end hotpot in the provincial capital. The taste is really amazing!" Jiang Feng praised while eating.

At this time, Bai Zian also tasted the spicy, fragrant, crispy and delicious duck intestines, and praised them, "This tastes really good. I didn't expect Instructor Qiao to be so proficient in food."

Qiao Fenghuang smiled and said, "Professor Bai, you are too kind. I am not really good at eating. I usually have a lot of training tasks in the army and I don't have many opportunities to eat out. I only eat here with my elders at home, so I know about it."

Bai Zian asked tentatively: "Coach Qiao, apart from training, you are carrying out various dangerous missions and basically have no free time. Do you plan to continue like this? Have you ever thought about taking a sinecure?"
