The provincial capital of Sichuan Province.
XX hot pot restaurant.
In the box, when Bai Zian asked Qiao Fenghuang if she had ever thought about taking up a sinecure, Qiao Fenghuang was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I really haven't thought about this question before."
Bai Zian said: "As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. You have dedicated so many years to the army on the front line. It's time to think about yourself."
If it was before meeting Bai Zian, Qiao Fenghuang would not have considered such a question at all, but now she replied seriously: "There shouldn't be any changes in the next one or two years, let's consider this issue again in a year or two!"
Bai Zian was already satisfied with the answer. It would only be one or two years, so he could wait.
Next, the two continued to eat and chat.
In order to get to know her better, Bai Zian kept asking her questions, such as what was her mood when she first joined the Women's Special Police Team? The training was so hard, did she ever think of quitting? What kind of criminals did she encounter during her first mission?
Qiao Fenghuang also answered every question, and the two of them really had endless topics to talk about.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, simply chose to be an invisible eater. The food in this hot pot restaurant was indeed delicious. It was the best hot pot restaurant he had ever eaten, and it was worthy of being praised by Qiao Fenghuang as the ceiling of high-end hot pot in Sichuan Province.
Especially the soft-shelled turtles that have been farmed for more than five years, which are plump and soft. After absorbing the aroma from the bottom of the pot, you take a bite and you will feel so satisfied!
The meal lasted until about eight o'clock.
Although Qiao Fenghuang was treating, Bai Zian was not so tactless and found an opportunity to pay the bill during the meal.
Qiao Fenghuang didn't care after knowing this. She was a straightforward person, and with a wealthy family, she never had to worry about money. Naturally, she didn't care who paid for her meal.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Jiang Feng asked, "Coach Qiao, are you going back to the army?"
Qiao Fenghuang held the bouquet of flowers sent by Bai Zian and nodded, "Well, let's go back to the army. We still have training tasks tomorrow!"
Jiang Feng looked at Bai Zian and said, "Brother Bai, you can get a room nearby to rest first. I will take Instructor Qiao back and will come back to meet you later."
Bai Zian hummed and said, "Okay."
Qiao Fenghuang declined, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I can just take a taxi back."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Coach Qiao, let me take you back. I want to talk to you about something on the way."
Qiao Fenghuang understood, so she stopped refusing, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Jiang!"
"No trouble."
Three minutes later.
Jiang Feng followed the navigation instructions and drove towards the Provincial Women's Special Police Team.
Qiao Fenghuang was sitting in the passenger seat.
After driving for a while, Jiang Feng asked, "Coach Qiao, what do you think of Brother Bai?"
Qiao Fenghuang looked forward and replied, "Yes, he is humorous, knowledgeable and talented. He is indeed a rare young talent."
Jiang Feng went straight to the point and said, "Coach Qiao, I won't beat around the bush with you. Since you also think Brother Bai is good, I want to match you up. Do you agree?"
Qiao Fenghuang fell silent after hearing this. Although she was a decisive person, she still needed to think carefully when it came to her lifelong affairs.
Jiang Feng didn't urge him, but drove silently.
After about ten minutes of silence, Qiao Fenghuang asked, "Mr. Jiang, how are you going to bring them together?"
When Jiang Feng heard this, he knew that she agreed to the marriage, so he smiled and said, "Marriage is a big deal, so it must be discussed with parents. I wonder if you will tell your parents yourself, or let me do it?"
Qiao Fenghuang said: "I'd better tell them myself!"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then Brother Bai and I won't go back yet. We'll stay here and wait for your good news."
…
Forty minutes later.
In front of the Provincial Women's Special Police Team.
Qiao Fenghuang unbuckled her seat belt, looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll go back to the army first. I'll call you later after I talk to my parents."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
"goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
After Jiang Feng drove away, Qiao Fenghuang did not go in immediately, but took out her cell phone and called her father. This was her personality. Things that could be done today would never be put off until tomorrow.
As soon as the call was connected, Qiao's father's laughter came over and said, "Phoenix, Dad just said he would call you, but I didn't expect you to call first!"
Qiao Fenghuang asked with a smile: "Dad, you look so happy, what good thing happened to you?"
Father Qiao laughed heartily and said, "My precious daughter, who I haven't seen for a month or two, called me. Isn't this a good thing?"
Qiao Fenghuang's face was full of smiles. "Dad, I can hear that you are dissatisfied with me for not coming back to see you for so long, right?"
Father Qiao's eyes narrowed as he smiled, "I didn't say that!"
Next, Qiao Fenghuang asked about her father's health, and also asked about her mother's health. When they had finished talking about family matters, she asked, "Dad, you just said you were going to call me. Is there something wrong?"
Father Qiao coughed twice and cleared his throat. "Fenghuang, Dad does have something to discuss with you. Did you know that Lei Hai joined the Northwest Wolf Special Forces?"
Qiao Fenghuang replied, "Well, I know. He has been very powerful since he was a child. None of the children of our generation can beat him. It's not surprising that he can join the Northwest Wolf Special Forces."
Father Qiao asked: "Phoenix, you are already 28 years old this year. Ordinary girls should have married and had children at this age. You joined the provincial women's special police team, and the training tasks are heavy. You have never had time to think about personal problems.
Your uncle Lei came to visit me yesterday and told me that his son Lei Hai was busy with training in the army all day and had no time to fall in love.
Therefore, your uncle Lei wants to bring you and Lei Hai together. Do you have this intention?"
Qiao Fenghuang said quickly, "Dad, you didn't agree to Uncle Lei, did you? Brother Lei Hai is not my type. I have always treated him as my brother since I was a child."
Father Qiao said, "Don't worry, I didn't agree to your uncle Lei. After all, this is your lifelong event. I'm not a feudal patriarch. I must ask your opinion first."
Qiao Fenghuang said sweetly: "Comrade Qiao Weihua, you are so awesome. You are the best father in the world."
Father Qiao laughed out loud at his daughter's praise, and after a while he said, "Phoenix, talk is talk, laughter is laughter, but you are really not young anymore, and this lifelong event really needs to be put on the agenda. If you don't object, I will mobilize my family to find a partner for you, how about that?"
Qiao Fenghuang said, "Dad, you may not believe this, but a matchmaker found me yesterday and arranged a blind date for me. I called you right after the blind date..."
Father Qiao was shocked when he heard this: "What? You just had a blind date? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? Where is the other person from? How old is he? What does he do? What is his family background?"
Hearing his father's series of questions, Qiao Fenghuang was speechless: "Dad, you ask me questions one by one. How can I answer you when you ask so many questions at once?"
Father Qiao calmed down and said, "Dad is anxious, so tell me about the other party's situation first!"
Qiao Fenghuang then introduced: "The other party is from Guangxi Province, 30 years old this year, an associate professor at Guangxi University, 1.77 meters tall, fair-skinned and gentle, and looks more like a scholar.
As for the family background, I haven’t asked, but it should be good.”
"A 30-year-old associate professor is indeed quite outstanding. If his family background is not bad, he is a good match for you." At this point, Qiao's father asked, "Fenghuang, you called me on purpose. I guess you have taken a fancy to this kid?"
Qiao Fenghuang said, "My first impression is pretty good. I have a lot of training tasks in the army right now, and I don't have much free time all day. It's rare that I meet someone I like, so I want you, mom and dad, to meet him and see if he's qualified to be your son-in-law."
Mr. Qiao didn't mean to object. He had originally planned to use his connections to find a partner for his daughter. Now that she had found someone she liked, it would save a lot of trouble.
Besides, he believed in his own judgment. Nothing could hide from his eyes. As long as his daughter's partner could pass his test, the marriage would naturally be a happy one for everyone.
"Okay, then Dad will meet him and see how good this kid is."
"Dad, can you spare some time tomorrow at noon?"
"This is about my daughter's lifelong event, so any time is fine."
"Okay, let's have lunch together tomorrow at noon. I'll contact the matchmaker later to set the time and place for lunch tomorrow, and I'll tell you then."
"Okay, then Dad will wait for your call."
"Well, bye, Dad!"
"goodbye!"
…
While Qiao Fenghuang was calling her father, Jiang Feng was also calling Bai Zian using the car's Bluetooth.
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Bai. Just now on the way to send Instructor Qiao back to the army, I have already felt out her attitude towards you. She will call her parents later to discuss your affairs with her. If nothing unexpected happens, you may meet her parents tomorrow!"
Bai Zian was surprised and delighted when he heard this, "I'm going to meet the parents so soon?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "According to the normal blind date process, you should have met the parents the first time. But Instructor Qiao didn't know whether you were a reliable blind date, so she didn't notify the parents and came to meet you first. Only after you pass her test, you will be qualified to meet her parents."
Bai Zian smiled and said, "So, I have advanced now?"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Yes, you have advanced. The next step is to meet her parents. This is also the last level. As long as you can pass this level, your marriage with Instructor Qiao will be a done deal!"
Bai Zian felt both anticipation and Alexander in his heart.
