Nine o'clock in the evening, in a compound in Guangxi Province.
In the study, Lan Yingying invited her parents in to appreciate her new calligraphy works.
This is a piece of cursive script, which is a classic work of Chairman Mao, "沁园春·雪".
"Dad, what do you think of my writing?" Lan Yingying asked expectantly.
Father Lan nodded as he read it, saying, "Well written. The overall idea is connected, the rhythm runs through, the lines are vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is in place. Your cursive writing has indeed made great progress!"
Lan Yingying smiled until her eyes narrowed when she heard this, and then she hugged her mother's arm and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
Lan's mother smiled and said, "It is an improvement. The characters are written in a coordinated way from beginning to end, complementing each other. The overall look is very harmonious. It is at least one level higher than before, and it can almost be compared with your running script."
Lan Yingying was praised and raised her head high. "Someone in the association said that my cursive writing is not good enough. I will practice for a while and then show them what they have to say."
Mother Lan shook her head and said, "What's the point of fighting for this kind of energy? If you have this kind of energy, you might as well find a partner quickly. Hasn't the Master Jiang you mentioned before introduced anyone to you yet?"
Lan Yingying laughed and said, "Mom, you can't rush to find a partner. Master Jiang is not an ordinary matchmaker. The couples he brings together are all very well-matched couples.
Among our group, he has already found suitable partners for Wang Wenjie, Shi Yinghao, and Bai Zian. Currently, all three are very satisfied with their partners. This cannot be achieved in a short period of time."
Mother Lan nodded and said, "That's true, but you should urge him more often and try to find a suitable partner for you this year. After all, you are already 29, and next year you will be in your 30s, so the gap is still very large."
Lan Yingying said helplessly: "I know!"
Father Lan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he asked, "Yingying, you said before that Master Jiang helped the leader's son Long Zeyu solve his relationship problems. I wonder how Long Zeyu and his wife's relationship is now?"
Lan Yingying said with admiration: "Now Brother Long and Sister Long have a very good relationship. We are all stunned by the changes in them. We have to say that Master Jiang is really amazing!"
Father Lan stroked his chin and said, "Master Jiang is indeed a great man. Yingying, find an opportunity to invite him to your home for a simple meal. There is no harm in making friends with such a master who has real skills."
Hearing her father's evaluation, Lan Yingying was proud and nodded quickly, "No problem, Dad, when are you free?"
Father Lan pondered and said, "Let me see if I can spare the time this Saturday or Sunday. If I can, I will let you know in advance."
Lan Yingying was about to reply when her cell phone on the table suddenly rang. She looked over and saw that the caller ID was from Master Jiang. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Speak of the devil!"
Father and Mother Lan also saw the name on the caller ID and couldn't help but smile.
Lan Yingying picked up the phone and answered it. She walked to the living room and said with a smile, "Master Jiang, you're calling me at this time. Do you have any plans?"
Father Lan and Mother Lan looked at each other, then followed him out of the study and walked towards the living room.
Jiang Feng's hearty laughter came over, "Sister Lan, I'm calling you at this time not because I have any program arrangements, but because I want to tell you a good news."
"What good news?"
Lan Yingying sat down on the sofa in the living room and joked, "Could it be that you have found someone suitable for me?"
Jiang Feng said with a little surprise: "Sister Lan, your intuition is really good, you guessed it all!"
Lan Yingying's eyes widened as she asked, "Master Jiang, are you kidding me? Have you really found someone suitable for me?"
At this time, Lan's father and mother were also sitting on the sofa. Hearing this, they were both excited. Lan's mother even gestured anxiously, asking her daughter to turn on the speakerphone.
Lan Yingying took the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
Then, Jiang Feng's voice came over, "Of course I'm not kidding, after such a long search, I finally found someone who is more suitable for you!"
Lan Yingying quickly asked: "Master Jiang, where is the other party from? How old is he? What does he do?"
Jiang Feng introduced: "The other party is from Guangdong Province, 30 years old this year, 1.79 meters tall, and quite handsome. He joined Huawei after graduating with a doctorate three years ago. He is a talented young man recruited by Huawei with a high salary, and he is one of the most powerful among the talented young men, with an annual salary of 2 million."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the three members of the Lan family lit up.
She is only one year older than Lan Yingying, which is a plus.
He is nearly 1.80 meters tall, which is a plus.
PhD degree, plus points.
Huawei's Talented Youth Program is known throughout the country. Everyone selected is a top talent in a certain field, and those who can get a top salary of 2 million are talents among talents, which is a plus.
Lan Yingying said: "The other party's own conditions are indeed excellent. Master Jiang, you should have his photo, right?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course, wait a moment, I'll send it to you on WeChat."
Soon, Lan Yingying received the photos sent by Jiang Feng. She did not hide from her parents. She put her phone on the table and opened the photos in WeChat.
Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared in front of the three members of the Lan family.
Jiang Feng's voice came over, "Sister Lan, this Mr. Xu is more focused on technical research and development, and doesn't pay much attention to his clothes, but this ordinary dress can't hide his edge. He is indeed the most suitable person for you that I have searched across several provinces for such a long time."
Lan Yingying said gratefully: "Master Jiang, you have worked so hard!"
Father and Mother Lan looked at the photo on the screen and nodded secretly. This man was worthy of their daughter in every aspect. Master Jiang really put in a lot of effort.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "It's not hard, I just run errands."
Lan's mother leaned close to her daughter's ear anxiously and whispered, "Yingying, ask about the other party's family background."
Lan Yingying nodded to show that she knew, and then asked: "Master Jiang, I want to ask what kind of family he was born into? What do his parents do?"
Jiang Feng said: "Don't worry, Sister Lan, I know your family background, so when I look for a partner for you, I not only take your personal conditions into consideration, but also your family background.
He was born into a scholarly family. His grandfather and father were both academicians. His grandmother, mother, aunt, uncle, uncle, and other relatives were all experts and professors in various fields. His family background was very prominent. "
Father and Mother Lan could not help but be delighted when they heard this. They were very impressed with Master Jiang, whom they had never met before. The other party's family background was indeed prominent enough, and it could be said that it was no worse than their own.
Although the power of the academician cannot be compared with that of a provincial official like him, if we consider the importance of both sides to the country, he, a provincial official, is really not as good as the academician.
Moreover, the other party's family has more than two academicians, but also many experts and professors who have considerable influence in various fields. In addition, the experts, professors and academicians basically have students all over the world, so the network of relationships is really spread all over the country.
They are really satisfied to be able to become relatives with such a family.
Not only Lan's father and mother were satisfied, but Lan Yingying was also quite satisfied.
For her, this kind of scholarly family is even more attractive than a family of officials.
Lan Yingying said sincerely: "Master Jiang, you really have a thoughtful heart!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Sister Lan, I'm glad you're satisfied. I've already communicated with them. You can also discuss with your parents and see how they plan to work. If you have time this Saturday or Sunday, we can arrange for your two families to meet. If you can't spare the time this Saturday or Sunday, we can arrange another time to meet."
Lan Yingying looked at her father and when she saw him nod, she agreed and said, "Master Jiang, then please arrange a meeting this Saturday. My dad is free."
Jiang Feng said, "Okay, let's set the time for this Saturday. As for the meeting place, we will definitely ask them to come to the capital of our Guangxi Province. We can arrange the specific location later, okay?"
Lan Yingying said: "Sure."
"That's it for now, I'm hanging up now!"
"Okay, bye!"
"goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Lan's mother, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't help but sigh: "This Master Jiang is really reliable. He introduced such an excellent partner to Yingying."
Father Lan also said with satisfaction: "Indeed, he is a top choice in terms of both family background and personal ability."
Lan Yingying smiled brightly and said, "That's right. Master Jiang's matchmaking ability has long been recognized by us. Didn't I tell you about the person he introduced to An Zibai? His family background is also very impressive."
Father Lan nodded and spoke highly of him, "With Master Jiang's communication skills, it won't take many years for him to build a network of relationships across the country. His future is truly limitless!"
Lan's mother and Lan Yingying were both surprised to hear this. For Lan's father to give such a high evaluation showed that he was really optimistic about the future of Master Jiang.
…
A hotel in a certain district of Shenzhen.
After Jiang Feng hung up the phone, he lay comfortably on the bed and read novels. He finished reading all the new chapters of the dozen books on the bookshelf, and then opened the short video app to watch the long-legged girl.
I have to say that reading novels and watching videos are really the best ways to kill time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
Because there were very important things to do tomorrow, Jiang Feng didn't stay up late and quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.
…
Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
At six o'clock in the morning, Huang Yuanjia (father of the heroine Huang Lingwei) went out for a run on time. This is the simplest way of exercise, and he has been doing it for more than ten years.
He jogged around the community until seven o'clock. He stopped only when he was sweating profusely. He rested and slowly walked home.
When he got home, his wife was just out exercising.
The couple's exercise time and method are different. Huang Yuanjia goes out for a run at 6 o'clock every day. He basically runs for an hour and then walks back slowly.
His wife’s way of exercising is to dance in the square, starting at 7:30 and ending at 9:00.
So, the two people's schedules are just staggered.
After returning home and resting for ten minutes, Huang Yuanjia took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to XX Restaurant for morning tea. This restaurant can be said to be his regular restaurant. He has been having morning tea in this restaurant for nearly twenty years. From the boss to the waiters, there is no one he doesn't know.
Originally, many people are used to having morning tea with a few friends.
However, Huang Yuanjia seldom had morning tea with friends. He liked to drink morning tea alone while reading the newspaper, enjoying the quiet and leisurely feeling.
Of course, with the promotion of smart phones, Huang Yuanjia no longer buys newspapers to read. Instead, he uses his mobile phone to read the news while drinking his morning tea. The effect is the same as reading newspapers before, and the content is more diverse.
Today, as usual, Huang Yuanjia entered the restaurant, said the old rules to the familiar waiter, then found a seat to sit down, took out his mobile phone and started checking the news.
In less than three minutes, Huang Yuanjia's favorite tea and various exquisite breakfasts were served.
…
Jiang Feng came to Shenzhen Stock Exchange this time for two main purposes:
The first purpose was to make connections for Lan Yingying, the daughter of a high-ranking official, and this had already been done yesterday.
The second purpose is to take the initiative to make friends with his future father-in-law. It would be best if they could become close friends regardless of age. After his girlfriend graduates, he can come to this close friend to propose marriage. Wouldn't the difficulty be greatly reduced then?
So, he calculated the time and came to the restaurant that his father-in-law would visit every morning.
After entering the restaurant, Jiang Feng ordered shrimp dumplings, honey-glazed barbecued pork buns, tripe, chicken feet, spare ribs and other special snacks. He also asked for a pot of hot pot tea and went directly to his father-in-law's table.
When Jiang Feng came to his father-in-law's table, he saw him concentrating on watching the news, so he couldn't help but greet him, "Hello, brother, can I sit here?"
Huang Yuanjia looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person asking the question was a handsome young man. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man, aren't there a lot of empty seats next to you? Why do you want to squeeze into a table with an old man like me?"
Jiang Feng immediately flattered him, "Brother, I see that you have a full forehead and a wide brow, which is a sign of natural wealth and prosperity. I want to get close to you to get some blessings."
Huang Yuanjia was delighted when he heard this, "Young man, can you also read faces?"
Jiang Feng said modestly: "I know a little bit."
Huang Yuanjia extended his hand and said, "Please take a seat!"
"Thank you, brother!" After Jiang Feng sat down, the waiter brought him the tea and snacks he ordered.
Jiang Feng took a bite of the tripe and praised sincerely: "You have to go to Guangdong Province to have morning tea. The meat of the tripe is fresh, tender and thick. It is soft and tasty when you bite it. It is really a rare delicacy!"
Huang Yuanjia asked, "Where are you from, little brother?"
Jiang Feng replied, "I am from Guangxi Province, my last name is Jiang, may I know your last name, brother?"
Huang Yuanjia took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "No need to mention your surname Huang."
Jiang Feng asked: "Is it Big Belly Yellow or Three Horizontal Kings?"
Huang Yuanjia said: "Big belly yellow."
Jiang Feng was surprised and said, "That's really a coincidence, my girlfriend's last name is also Huang."
