"Hello, are you Miss Gu? I'm Zhong Yutao."
"Hello, Mr. Zhong, I'm Gu Cheng'an."
The two shook hands politely, the man also put the roses in the vase, and then sat down.
"A cup of black coffee, please."
The waiter nodded and left.
Gu Cheng'an looked carefully at the man opposite her. When she stood up to greet him just now, she paid special attention to his height. She was wearing a pair of flat shoes today. They were about the same height, and the other person was no more than 1.75 meters tall.
But as long as he's not shorter than her, it's barely acceptable.
But looking at his face, he is a little too thin, with sunken cheeks. Although he wears a lot of clothes in winter, it is obvious that he is a little thin. This remains to be confirmed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong, I tend to be straightforward. Since we're here for a blind date, we should be direct. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me directly."
Zhong Yutao was still thinking about finding some topics to warm up the atmosphere. Isn't it too early to talk about these things right away?
"Haha, Miss Gu is very straightforward, but I don't know what to ask. The matchmaker has told me your basic information. What about you? Do you know anything about me? Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Gu Cheng'an had no intention of being polite. She didn't want to waste too much time on this. If the two of them couldn't even agree on the most basic things, then there was no need to continue chatting.
"I know you are a teacher at a university, but I wonder how you plan your career?
And you're thirty this year, right? Usually, people at this age who are single are either too busy or have had one or even several relationships. Are you one of them?
Zhong Yutao hesitated a bit, but still said: "I am very satisfied with the stability of my current job. After graduation, I will stay here to work as an ideological and political teacher and a graduate student. I have no intention of continuing my studies at the moment.
I had a girlfriend in college, but we broke up a few years ago. She wasn't from the capital, and she had no plans to stay, so we had no choice but to break up.
Gu Chengan smiled, and had already gotten over it in his heart, but out of politeness he still chatted a few more words.
Zhong Yutao was quite satisfied with Gu Chengan since the first year he met her. She was pretty and intelligent.
He knew that if it weren't for the matchmaker, he and Gu Cheng'an might never appear in each other's lives. He could see that Gu Cheng'an didn't have any feelings for him, but he didn't want to give up so easily.
"I heard from the matchmaker that you come from a military family. Your parents and brothers are all soldiers. You work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Does that mean your family is very busy and you don't see each other for a long time?"
Gu Chengan nodded: "Yes, my grandparents, parents, and my brother are all soldiers. If I have more time, I see them a few times a year, and if I'm busy, I only see them once every few years. But I've been used to it since I was a child.
I'm also very busy with work, and I have some clear career plans for the next few years, so I may not have much time to devote to relationships and family."
This was a very polite refusal.
But the other party didn't understand or what, so he continued speaking.
"It's good to be ambitious, but you're not young anymore. The matchmaker said you're already 28. I've never seen a woman this old who's still unmarried. Your family must be worried, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged for us to meet.
When a woman reaches a certain age, she still has to return to the family and put her husband and children first. The burden of the family still falls on the man.
My family is an ordinary working-class family. I am the only one who is a college student. In the future, my parents will definitely support me in everything, and I will provide for them in their old age.
But your family is well-off, and your elders hold high positions in the military. They might be able to help me with my work, and we can live a better life after we get married..."
Gu Chengan's face had turned cold when he received it.
Her attitude was already very clear, but she didn't expect the other party to be so shameless.
Zhong Yutao naturally noticed that she looked unhappy, but he was sure that the girl was shy and embarrassed to refuse.
The girl is well protected by her family. If he coaxes her well, she might fall in love with him. He can first try to marry her home, and then he will have the final say in everything from now on.
What is face? It's something you shouldn't eat or drink.
Although the matchmaker didn't say much, he was not a fool and had already inquired about it privately.
Although I didn't find out how high-ranking military officers Gu Cheng'an's parents were, I heard from neighbors that a jeep from the army was driven back with guards on board.
He knew this would be the best opportunity he could seize.
Changing one's family status by marrying a wife is a must.
Gu Cheng'an was the only daughter in her family. How could the Gu family bear to see their daughter suffer any injustice after she got married? They would definitely have to find her a good job. Maybe she could even have a house and a car.
The more he thought about it, the hotter he felt. Gu Cheng'an was not only good-looking, but also prestigious to take out.
His family couldn't be better. If I miss him, I won't be able to find someone who meets all the requirements in the future.
Gu Chengan was not angry at all, but instead smiled mysteriously.
"Hasn't anyone told you? I grew up in a military family compound. Let alone ordinary men, even those who are slightly stronger, I can beat several of them by myself.
Did you know something else? I have two older brothers and three younger brothers—so close! My two older brothers are in the military, and my other three younger brothers also grew up in military camps.
They said that I have to pass their test to find a boyfriend. If I can't even beat them, how can you marry me? Are you worthy of me?
As he spoke, he raised his face to the left.
