Just when Jiang Caiyun handed the phone back to her mother, her mother came back with a small bag of rock sugar. Seeing that there was a new guest at home, she naturally greeted him.
When she learned that the guest was Aunt Zhang, a matchmaker from Longshan Village, who was here to act as a matchmaker for her daughter Jiang Caiyun, Jiang's mother became even more enthusiastic.
Jiang's mother is different from her daughter Jiang Caiyun. Jiang Caiyun had been studying before. After graduating from university last year, she stayed in the provincial capital to work. She was still young and didn't pay attention to matchmakers. No one had told her that an amazing matchmaker master had emerged in her hometown.
Therefore, Jiang Caiyun was not aware of the identity of Jiang's mother.
But Jiang's mother was different. Rural women liked to gossip about family matters. The women in the next door village had already talked about Jiang Feng, a nationally renowned matchmaker, countless times.
After Master Jiang went to the provincial capital to develop, Jiang's father and mother, with the support of their son, also became famous matchmakers in the area.
Therefore, Jiang's mother was aware of her identity.
Nowadays, in this area, who doesn’t know that the matchmaker arranged by Master Jiang’s family is a symbol of happiness?
Jiang's mother originally planned to go to Master Jiang's house to ask for a matchmaker at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, but she didn't expect that before she took any action, Jiang's mother would come to her house on her own initiative.
After hearing about the man's family conditions, Jiang's mother was satisfied. Given her daughter's conditions, it was really great to be able to marry into such a family.
So, Jiang's mother said in a positive manner: "Aunt Zhang, I'll accept this for my girl. It just so happens that she has to go back to the provincial capital to work tomorrow. Since the man is also doing business in the provincial capital, why don't we just let them arrange a time to meet. What do you think?"
"Of course there's no problem with that. It's fine to let the two young people talk on their own. If they get along well, it won't be too late to meet the parents." At this point, Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Caiyun and said, "Then it's settled. Add me on WeChat and I'll give him your contact information and ask him to contact you."
Things had come to this point, so Jiang Caiyun naturally would not refuse anymore and she added Jiang's mother on WeChat.
After everything was settled, Jiang's mother said goodbye and left.
Jiang's mother guessed that her daughter might not be clear about the background of Aunt Zhang, the matchmaker, so she told her daughter all about Master Jiang's matchmaking experience and asked her to take this blind date seriously.
There is no doubt that Jiang Caiyun was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that such a powerful matchmaker would appear in her hometown.
Originally, she just thought that the person introduced by Aunt Zhang was okay and she could give it a try. But now with the added fame of Master Jiang, the matchmaker, she has begun to consider getting married.
…
6:03 pm.
At the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of a city in Shanxi Province, Qin Sihan, dressed in a professional suit, walked towards the company parking lot, ready to drive her beloved electric car home.
At this time, a male colleague quickly caught up and said, "Qin Sihan, there is a new Cantonese restaurant opened on XX Road. Do you want to go and try it together?"
While speaking, the male colleague looked at Qin Sihan expectantly.
Qin Sihan frowned slightly when she heard this. The male colleague standing in front of her was named Zhang Qiu Sheng. He had been courting her since she started working in the bureau last year. Although he had never made his attitude clear, anyone who was not a fool would know that he was pursuing her.
However, Qin Sihan really wasn't attracted to him and had rejected him tactfully more than once, but he played dumb and pretended not to hear her, still doing his own thing, which really annoyed her.
The most depressing thing was that Zhang Qiu Sheng never spoke out, but just invited her to dinner from time to time as a colleague, occasionally bought her a cup of milk tea, and brought her some snacks.
Although Zhang Qiu Sheng invited him ten times and Qin Sihan refused at least nine times, he was still a colleague in the bureau after all. Before he made his attitude clear, she was just doing these things as a colleague. Qin Sihan couldn't really refuse every time, as that would be too inhumane.
But half a year has passed, and now Qin Sihan has realized that if she doesn't make things clear, Zhang Qiu Sheng will probably keep pretending to be stupid and trying to please her.
Therefore, Qin Sihan did not refuse Zhang Qiu Sheng's invitation. She planned to take this opportunity to make her words clear, so as to avoid any ambiguity that might cause the other party to misunderstand and have a chance of success.
So, Qin Sihan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and try it together to see how it tastes. I have been working in the bureau for more than half a year, and I have always been grateful to you, Brother Zhang, for taking care of me. I will treat you to this meal."
Zhang Qiusheng said happily, "Qin Sihan, you are too polite. We are colleagues, so it is my duty to take care of you. So I will shamelessly eat your meal today."
As they were talking, the two had already reached the parking lot.
Qin Sihan walked towards her small tramway: "Brother Zhang, then you lead the way!"
Zhang Qiu Sheng responded and got into his car which was worth tens of thousands of yuan and drove towards the Cantonese restaurant on XX Road.
Qin Sihan followed in his electric car.
…
Twenty minutes later.
In a Cantonese restaurant, the two ordered their dishes. After the waiter left the private room, Qin Sihan began to think about how to make things clear without hurting her colleague's feelings.
Zhang Qiu Sheng naturally had no idea what Qin Sihan was thinking. He just asked Qin Sihan to have dinner with him as a routine today and didn't expect her to agree. But not only did she agree, she also invited him to dinner. This was naturally a good thing for him.
He really likes his new colleague Qin Sihan, who has a good figure, good looks, and a good personality. They are colleagues and have a lot in common. If the two of them can get together, they will definitely live happily.
Now, he was thinking whether he should strike while the iron was hot and confess his feelings to her directly?
The two of them each had their own thoughts and chatted about random things.
Soon, the waiter started serving the food.
At this time, the two were also hungry, so they decided at the same time to eat first and talk later.
When they had almost finished eating, they both said at the same time: "Brother Zhang (Qin Sihan), I have something to tell you."
Zhang Qiusheng said with a smile: "Ladies first."
Qin Sihan did not refuse and asked directly: "Brother Zhang, do you like me?" She had thought it through clearly. This kind of thing should not be concealed, but should be said openly. This is the attitude to solve the problem.
Zhang Qiusheng was startled by Qin Sihan's sudden question. He looked at Qin Sihan's calm expression, made up his mind, and admitted: "Yes, Qin Sihan, I have liked you since the first day you came to work in the bureau."
Qin Sihan sighed and refused very clearly: "Brother Zhang, you are a good person and have helped me a lot at work, but I'm sorry, you are not my type."
Zhang Qiusheng, who was given the nice guy card, turned pale and was silent for a moment before asking, "Qin Sihan, what type of men do you like?"
Qin Sihan said: "I like the kind of man who makes my heart beat."
It was as if he hadn't said anything. Zhang Qiusheng asked bitterly, "Qin Sihan, do I really have no chance at all?"
When it comes to feelings, if you have chosen to reject them, you can't drag your feet. Qin Sihan was very clear-headed and nodded directly, "Although this may make you uncomfortable, Brother Zhang, I still want to tell you clearly that it is really impossible for us to be together."
Zhang Qiusheng's expression darkened, and after a long while he took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Qin Sihan, my presence may have caused you some trouble during this period of time, and I will not bother you anymore in the future."
Qin Sihan said: "Brother Zhang, I hope we can still maintain a good relationship as colleagues."
Zhang Qiusheng smiled a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Of course, although we are not destined to be lovers, our good relationship as colleagues will not change."
That's what they said, but both of them knew in their hearts that unless Zhang Qiu Sheng really let it go, their relationship as colleagues would definitely be affected.
…
When Qin Sihan returned home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
She lives in a rental house now. It's not that she can't afford to buy a house. With her family conditions, it is not difficult for her to buy a house in this city.
Qin Sihan herself didn't want to buy the house. Her hometown is in Guangdong Province, and her parents work in the provincial capital of Shanxi Province. She was only working in this city temporarily and had no plans to settle down here.
It would be nice to rent a house for the time being.
Qin Sihan returned to the rental house feeling relaxed. No matter whether it would affect her relationship with Zhang Qiu Sheng as a colleague, now that she had made things clear in person, she wouldn't have to worry about it like before.
After sitting on the sofa and watching videos for a while, Qin Sihan was about to take a shower and apply a facial mask when a strange phone call from Guangxi Province suddenly came in.
Qin Sihan took a look and answered the phone: "Hello!"
"Hello!" A magnetic male voice came over and asked very politely, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Qin Sihan?"
"I'm Qin Sihan. May I ask who you are? What can I do for you?"
"My name is Jiang Feng, and I'm a matchmaker from the Happy Marriage Agency. I just came to XX City from Guangxi Province. I want to make an appointment to meet and talk with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you, Ms. Qin?"
Qin Sihan frowned and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, I have never filled out marriage information on a dating website or a matchmaking agency. Did you find the wrong person?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Ms. Qin, I didn't find the wrong person. I know you haven't filled out your marriage information on a dating website or a matchmaking agency. I'm just disturbing you this time and want to take the initiative to introduce you to someone. I wonder if you are willing to meet me and talk to me?"
Qin Sihan refused and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, I'm so sorry. I don't have any idea of finding a partner to get married yet. I'll contact you when I want to find a partner to get married, okay?"
Jiang Feng said calmly: "Ms. Qin, it doesn't matter whether you have the idea of getting married now, let's just treat it as making friends. I really think there is a boy who is very suitable for you, so I came all the way from Guangxi Province to help match you up.
If you really don't want to meet with me, Ms. Qin, then I can take up a few minutes of your time and introduce you to the man's situation over the phone?"
The other party was very polite, and Qin Sihan was too embarrassed to hang up the phone, so she said perfunctorily: "Okay, then you introduce yourself, I'll listen."
Jiang Feng could hear the perfunctory tone in her voice, but he didn't care and introduced directly: "He is 24 years old this year, 1.78 meters tall. Under the subtle education of his parents, he has been very outstanding since he was a child. His academic performance has always been one of the best in the class since elementary school, and he was eventually admitted to the top university in the country.
In addition to his good academic performance, he is also excellent in other aspects. From elementary school to college, he has served as class monitor, especially in high school and college, he is not only the class monitor, but also the president of the Student Union. This shows that he is not a nerd who only knows how to study.
After graduating from university, he embarked on the path of politics. He is currently doing very well in his job. I believe he will achieve great success in the future."
Qin Sihan's original attitude was perfunctory. She did not lie. She really had no plans to find a partner within the next one or two years. If she wanted to find one, it would not be too late to do so when she was transferred to the provincial capital to work.
But according to the introduction of matchmaker Jiang, if it is true, then the person he is going to introduce to her is really excellent. I just don’t know what his family background is like or whether he is handsome.
Jiang Feng seemed to have heard her thoughts and continued to introduce: "He is not only excellent himself, but also has a very good family background. His father is the top leader of a prefecture-level city, and his mother is the dean of a key high school. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite popular with girls."
After hearing this, Qin Sihan finally took the person introduced by matchmaker Jiang seriously.
He is good enough, and his family background is no worse than hers, or even a little better. As long as he is not too ugly, then this person is really worthy of her being with him.
So, Qin Sihan changed her previous attitude and said politely: "Matchmaker Jiang, I wonder where you are now? If it's not far away, then I will treat you to a midnight snack."
"I'm at..." Jiang Feng reported a location.
"Then we're not far away. Wait for me there and I'll pick you up right away."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Ms. Qin!"
"It's not a big deal. I'll hang up first. See you later!"
"Yeah, see you later!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Sihan quickly changed her clothes and went out with her bag.
More than ten minutes later.
Qin Sihan met Jiang the matchmaker from Guangxi Province. The moment she saw his appearance, she was a little dazed. This handsome guy in front of her was actually a professional matchmaker?
"Hello, Ms. Qin." Jiang Feng greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Matchmaker Jiang." Qin Sihan came back to her senses and praised sincerely, "I didn't expect you to be so young and so handsome."
"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Qin!"
"Come on in the car, what would you like to eat?"
"I know you are from Guangdong Province, Ms. Qin. Guangdong and Guangxi are one family. There is not much difference in diet. Just pick what you like. I am fine with it."
"Can you eat spicy food?"
“Yes.”
"There's a restaurant in front that sells delicious spicy crayfish. How about we try that?"
"no problem."
