Zhao Aiguo knew that everyone thought his idea of liking medical school students was unrealistic, and they laughed at him openly and behind his back. But he wasn't ashamed at all; he always believed that people should have dreams! What if they come true?
He got up early the next morning, ate breakfast, and looked very energetic. He even took out his black wool coat and put on a scarf of the same color. When Zhao's mother saw him like that, she said, "It's the middle of winter, aren't you cold without a cotton-padded coat?"
Zhao Aiguo shook his head and said, "It's alright. I'm going to inspect the area today. I'll take a car there!"
As Zhao's mother watched him ride his bicycle, she called out from behind, "Don't you still have to ride your bicycle to work?"
Zhao Aiguo exclaimed, "It's not cold!" Zhao's father chuckled and said, "Our grandson might be up to something. We'll know by his expression when he gets back tonight!"
Zhao's mother smiled and said, "That's right. She applied face cream twice this morning, and it took her ten minutes to comb her hair! I wonder who it was!"
Zhao Dahu suddenly blurted out from behind, "It's also possible that it's all one-sided enthusiasm."
Zhao's mother glared at him. "You! Don't talk, you're quite clever!"
Father Zhao snorted, "That's right, you're just showing off your big mouth!" Well, he was being disliked again.
Zhao Dahu didn't care anymore. He'd been frequently called over by Yang's mother and Factory Director Yang these past few days, and he was used to it. He knew this family was difficult, but seeing how well Yang Xiaofu had grown up over the years, he thought he'd give it a try. In the end, he was once again grateful to his parents for not letting Wei Shuqing interfere in their child's upbringing. Zhao Aiguo's judgment of people, aside from everything else, really came from the Zhao family.
"You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to!" Wei Shuqing had completely given up; neither side could control her anymore. Back in the room, she told Wei Shuqing, "Aiguo is dressed like a suitor on a blind date today; something might be going on!"
Wei Shuqing had already given up on caring about him. "Let him do whatever he wants. He's got no hope of marrying a college student. What college student wouldn't be interested in him?"
Zhao Dahu chuckled dryly. He wanted to argue, but there was nothing he could say! After all, everyone knew that college students were highly valued these days. And that stubborn guy just stuck to his guns.
Meanwhile, Zhao Aiguo went to see the outstanding student commendation ceremony organized by someone else. Sitting on the stage, his eyes swept down like they had sharp eyes, but with thousands of students in this year's class, he couldn't see anything from this distance!
When it came time to present the awards for outstanding student representatives, ten students were waiting in the audience—five boys and five girls, which seemed fair enough. Zhao Aiguo glanced at them and immediately took a liking to one of them. Among the group of students was a tall boy with a fair, handsome face. He stood there with his back ramrod straight, exuding an air of aloofness and superiority. Even so, his appearance made him stand out from the crowd. The haughty girl noticed Zhao Aiguo looking in their direction and whispered to a slightly chubby girl who was a little over 1.6 meters tall next to her, "Why do I feel like that leader in the black wool coat is looking at me? Xiaoman, can you tell if he is?"
The chubby girl looked up, which excited Zhao Aiguo. "She looked at me! She looked at me! Does she like me too?!"
The chubby girl exchanged a glance with Zhao Aiguo and quickly looked down, then said to the pretty girl, "Qianqian, it seems so, that leader is quite good-looking!"
Qianqian scoffed and muttered, "Lots of people like me, where does he rank?"
With his 5.1 vision, Zhao Aiguo immediately spotted the girl's name tag: Liu Man. "Look at that name, it's so nice! Satisfying! Great!" he thought. When they came up, he swiftly grabbed Liu Man's certificate and trophy, showering her with praise as an outstanding student of the 1977 Clinical Medicine Department. He was happier than if he'd become the Minister of the Organization Department; he felt like his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.
Qianqian looked at Zhao Aiguo's appearance, forced her curved lips to straighten, and put on a serious face. When the leader handed out the awards, Zhao Aiguo quickly walked to Liu Man, who was standing on his shoulder. Liu Man took the trophy, smiled and bowed to Zhao Aiguo, saying, "Thank you, leader!"
Zhao Aiguo, who is usually quite eloquent, couldn't think of any words at the moment, and forced out, "Liu Man, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future!"
Liu Man nodded vigorously, while Zhao Aiguo reluctantly returned to his seat. What to do? He liked her so much! This was the girl of his dreams!
Liu Man is a round girl, fair-skinned and soft-spoken. She's not ugly, but not pretty either. How to describe her? Joyful! A face that exudes peace and prosperity!
She captured Zhao Aiguo's heart at first sight. How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world! As for the rest of the show, he had no interest in watching it. He was more interested in Liu Man in the audience. Qianqian glared at the fat Liu next to her with a cold face, and also secretly resented Zhao Aiguo. She said sarcastically, "Men these days are disgusting. They'll use any means to get someone's attention! What era are we living in that they still play the coy game!"
Seeing Qianqian like this, Liu Man pursed his lips and whispered, "Qianqian, don't be like this. Maybe the leader didn't mean it that way..."
Qianqian looked at Liu Man and said sarcastically, "Liu Man? You don't think that the leader gave you an award because he's taken a liking to you, do you? You have to know your place! Men all like pretty girls..." These words made Liu Man's face turn red with anger. She got up and ran out. As soon as she got up, Zhao Aiguo saw her and followed her out without making a sound. He saw the girl crying on a wooden bench in the grove to the left of the Great Hall of the People!
She quickly reached into her pocket and, thankfully, found a handkerchief. She handed it to her, and Liu Man, seeing the extra handkerchief, looked up and saw Zhao Aiguo. Her face flushed, and she said, "Leader..."
Zhao Aiguo smiled, sat down next to her, and said, "Come on, wipe your tears! Why are you crying even though you won an award?"
