Chapter 477 Dad, the mayor was the matchmaker for me
Deng Yunheng was quite dedicated as a matchmaker. In just three days, he arranged for the hero and heroine to meet.
The meeting place was set in Fuzhou, so we had to trouble Senior Sister Song to fly over.
Song Yu had no objection to this. Not to mention the man's status, her junior was a senior leader with a lot of things to do. It would be bad if he delayed his work just to run back to Nanning to be a matchmaker for her.
When Song Yu arrived in Fuzhou, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Deng Yunheng went to the airport to pick him up in person.
After getting in the car, Deng Yunheng asked, "Sister Song, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something first."
Song Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. I had already eaten before boarding the plane."
Deng Yunheng said, "Then let's find a place to have tea, and then I'll call Wu Weiguo and ask him to come over for tea. If you two can get along, then we can have dinner together in the afternoon. If not, then forget it!"
Song Yu said: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
…
An hour later.
In a teahouse box, Deng Yunheng and Song Yu were drinking tea while waiting for the blind date male protagonist Wu Weiguo to arrive.
The two have been good friends for more than ten years. After graduation and starting work, they didn't have many opportunities to meet each other. Now that they rarely meet, they naturally have endless things to talk about.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Weiguo, dressed in a suit and tie, finally arrived.
Obviously, Wu Weiguo takes this blind date very seriously.
After all, although the introducer is a little younger than him, his status as the official of Fuzhou is very important.
Deng Yunheng smiled and introduced the two parties: "Director Wu, let me introduce you, this is the Peking University senior Song Yu I told you about."
Wu Weiguo smiled and extended his hand, saying hello: "Hello, Secretary Song, nice to meet you."
Song Yu also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, saying with an impeccable smile: "Hello, Director Wu, I'm glad to meet you too."
Deng Yunheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "Director Wu, have some tea and let's sit down and talk."
Wu Weiguo said politely: "Thank you, leader."
While talking, Wu Weiguo and Song Yu were secretly sizing each other up.
In Wu Weiguo's eyes, Secretary Song in front of him was indeed as the leader said, not outstanding in figure and appearance, but very elegant. He didn't know how to describe this temperament, but it was definitely not something that one could possess simply by being an official.
It must be a special temperament that is developed from having outstanding talents and being in a high position for many years.
Wu Weiguo was satisfied with this first impression.
In Song Yu's eyes, the man in front of her looked similar to her junior. Although his academic qualifications and work were not as good as hers, his background was amazing, which was a big plus. Therefore, she was quite satisfied with this first impression.
Deng Yunheng and Song Yu both had many years of experience in officialdom, and Wu Weiguo had also been working in the unit for many years. They were all outstanding in dealing with people, so when they sat together and chatted, there was naturally no chance of a dull moment, and they had endless topics to talk about.
Deng Yunheng's observation ability is beyond words. He keenly felt that the two of them were indeed planning to move forward, so he found an excuse and said, "Director Wu, Sister Song, you guys chat first. I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. I'll come over later."
Wu Weiguo said politely: "Okay, leader, you go ahead."
Song Yu had already noticed Deng Yunheng winking at her, so she said shyly, "Go and do your work, and come over here when you're done."
Deng Yunheng responded and then left the scene.
…
6pm.
Deng Yunheng and the other two went to a restaurant to eat.
At this time, after several hours of getting along, Wu Weiguo and Song Yu had become familiar with each other and were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning.
Deng Yunheng certainly did not forget his matchmaking duties. When the meal was almost over, he smiled and said to Song Yu, "Sister Song, please wait here for a while. I'm going to talk to Director Wu about something."
Song Yu naturally understood what they were going to say outside, but still pretended not to know: "Okay, go ahead!"
Although it was Wu Weiguo's first time to attend a blind date, his IQ was fine and he naturally guessed what the leader wanted to talk to him about.
As expected, after leaving the private room, Deng Yunheng got straight to the point and said, "Director Wu, what do you think of this senior of mine?"
Wu Weiguo answered without hesitation: "As expected of a top student from Peking University, he is indeed very good, much better than me."
Deng Yunheng asked: "So what do you mean?"
Wu Weiguo said openly, "I want to date Secretary Song."
He is already in his thirties, so naturally he is not as pretentious as young people. Hitting a straight ball at this time will have the best effect.
Deng Yunheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then wait for me here, I'll go in and ask my senior sister what she thinks."
Wu Weiguo said: "Okay, thank you for your help, leader."
"You are welcome."
Deng Yunheng said this and re-entered the box.
Seeing this, Song Yu couldn't help but ask, "President, where are the others?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "I asked him to wait outside. I have already asked him, and he clearly told me that he wants to date you. I wonder what you mean, Sister Song?"
Song Yu said apprehensively, "He looks okay now, and his family background is good enough, but this is the first time I've encountered such a situation, and I'm a little undecided. Do you think I'll be happy if I marry him?"
Deng Yunheng pondered and said, "Everyone has a different definition of happiness. Before I introduced him to you, I had already investigated his reputation. As a second-generation official, he is a relatively low-key type, and his relationships with men and women are not chaotic. He is indeed a good man.
If you marry him, the most direct benefit is that you can get support from his family, and your promotion can be said to be a sure thing.
And let me tell you something you may not like to hear, Sister Song. You are not young anymore. If you continue to waste time like this, it will be too difficult to find someone who fully meets your requirements. Now that a good one has finally appeared, don’t hesitate!"
Song Yu nodded repeatedly and said, "That makes sense. I'll listen to you."
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will call him in so that we can have a frank talk?"
Song Yu had been a leader for so many years, so he was naturally not the type of person who would hesitate. Now that he had made a decision, he no longer hesitated and said, "Well, then call him in and have a frank talk!"
Soon, Wu Weiguo was called in by Deng Yunheng.
Deng Yunheng drank a sip of tea and said, "Director Wu, you and Sister Song are in love with each other, but there is a problem that must be solved. That is, you are separated from each other. If you want to be together, you have to find a way to transfer to the same city to work, or one of you can give up your job to accommodate the other, otherwise this marriage will not be successful.
Sister Song does an excellent job and has the opportunity to advance further at any time. It is obviously unrealistic to ask her to give up her job, and it is extremely difficult for her to be transferred to Fuzhou for work.
Therefore, this difficult problem has to be solved by you, Director Wu."
Wu Weiguo readily agreed: "This is not a problem. I will go back tonight and discuss it with my old man. As long as he nods, all the problems will be solved."
"Indeed, as long as the leaders are willing to step in, it won't be difficult to transfer Sister Song's job. It's not impossible to even directly promote her to deputy director. Director Wu, that's settled. We'll wait for your good news."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my old man."
…
A family compound.
When Wu Weiguo returned to his parents' home, his parents were sitting in the living room drinking tea and watching TV.
Wu Weiguo immediately greeted, "Dad, Mom."
Mother Wu looked at her son who was still unmarried in his thirties and said with disdain, "Why are you here at this time?"
Wu Weiguo walked over and put his arm around his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, look at what you said, can't I come over to see you?"
Mother Wu snorted, "What's so good about us two old men?"
Wu Weiguo naturally knew why his mother's nose was not a nose and her face was not a face. He laughed and said, "Mom, look at what you said. If your daughter-in-law saw you like this, she would be scared!"
"You still have the nerve to mention your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Wu scolded with a stern face: "Look at how old you are. People of your age who got married early have children in junior high school. Even those who got married later have children in elementary school. But what about you? You don't even have a partner. Do you think you are decent?"
Hearing his wife scolding his son, Father Wu felt a little uncomfortable. If he had not stopped his son back then, he would probably have become a grandfather long ago.
As you get older, you gradually become more open-minded about some things.
If it happened again, he would never interfere in his son's marriage again. Let him do what he likes. How can being well-matched be more important than passing on the family line?
Wu Weiguo said with a playful smile: "Mom, you were talking about before. Now I already have a partner!"
"What did you say?"
Mother Wu was shocked when she heard this. She could no longer care to scold her son. She asked in surprise and joy, "Son, you didn't lie to me, did you? Do you really have a partner?"
Father Wu's attention was no longer on the TV, but on his son. He also wanted to know whether his son really had a partner.
Wu Weiguo said with a smile: "Of course it's true, but whether this marriage can be successful depends on whether Dad is willing to help."
Father Wu and Mother Wu looked at each other and asked, "What's the situation? Tell me clearly. What can I do for you?"
Wu Weiguo said: "My girlfriend is currently working in Nanning, Guangxi. Dad, you need to use your connections to transfer her to Fuzhou. Otherwise, we will be separated and there is no way we can be together."
"It's just a job transfer. It's easy for your father."
Mother Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then asked, "By the way, son, what does your partner do for a living?"
Father Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a matter of transferring his future daughter-in-law's job, which was indeed a simple matter for him.
Wu Weiguo said: "My girlfriend is also in the system. She is the secretary of a district in Nanning and a director-level cadre."
When these words were spoken, both Mr. and Mrs. Wu were a little surprised.
Mother Wu quickly asked, "Son, how old is your partner?"
Wu Weiguo said: "One year younger than me."
Mother Wu frowned slightly and said, "She's not young anymore. What's her family background?"
Wu Weiguo said: "She is quite suitable for my age. Her family doesn't have much background. Her father is just of the same grade as her."
Mother Wu asked, "Son, tell us about her personal situation and how you met. I remember you have never been to Guangxi. How come you suddenly have a girlfriend there?"
Wu Weiguo smiled and said, "She is a top student at Peking University, and she is also the mayor's schoolmate and fellow villager. The reason why I met her was because the mayor introduced her to me."
"Mayor Deng was the matchmaker for you?"
"That's right, Mayor Deng was the matchmaker for me..."
Next, Wu Weiguo told his parents how Deng Yunheng had been the matchmaker for him, and finally said, "Although this is the first time that Secretary Song and I have met, we are attracted to each other. As long as you are willing to help transfer her to Fuzhou for work, then this marriage will be a done deal."
Father Wu said, "Since Mayor Deng personally introduced you to a matchmaker, and you are satisfied with it, then your mother and I naturally have no objection to this marriage. As long as Secretary Song becomes the daughter-in-law of our Wu family, I will naturally help solve her job transfer problem.
She has a high enough education and work experience, I will see if I can find an opportunity to promote her to deputy director."
With his father's words, Wu Weiguo was determined and said, "Dad, Mom, I will arrange for the mayor and Secretary Song to have lunch together tomorrow at noon?"
"Yes, sure."
…
The next day at noon.
The three members of the Wu family had lunch with Deng Yunheng and Song Yu.
Although Song Yu had seen a lot of the world over the past decade, he still couldn't help feeling a little restrained when sitting with Wu's father for dinner.
After all, Wu's father was a senior leader in the province. Although Song Yu had met such senior leaders before, this was the first time for him to sit down and have a meal with a senior leader of this level.
Not to mention, this big leader has another identity, that is, the boy’s parent.
Faced with such an existence, I believe few people can remain calm.
Fortunately, with the matchmaker Deng Yunheng to liven up the atmosphere, the scene wasn't too awkward.
Facing the important leader, Wu's father, Deng Yunheng was respectful but not restrained.
He and Wu's father are from the same faction. Although there is a big gap between their ranks, Deng Yunheng's status in the faction is not necessarily worse than Wu's father.
After all, Mr. Wu is already old and will retire in a few years.
In contrast, Deng Yunheng was only in his early thirties and had a long political career ahead of him. One side was on the decline while the other side was on the rise. There was no comparison between the two.
After the meal, the marriage between Wu Weiguo and Song Yu was basically settled.
This speed is really extremely fast.
However, it is not surprising if you think about it carefully. Wu Weiguo and Song Yu are both in their thirties, both are very busy with work, and they are separated by distance. If they don't take advantage of the rare opportunity of meeting to get things done at once, who knows how long it will take.
Only after Song Yu and Wu Weiguo got engaged did she call her parents.
When Song's father and mother received the call from their daughter, they were so excited. The couple had been worried about their daughter's marriage, especially Song's father, who had been running around looking for a partner for their daughter after his retirement.
Now that their daughter's marriage has been arranged and the man's family is so well-off, the couple are very happy.
Song's father and mother were naturally very grateful to Deng Yunheng for being the matchmaker.
