Xia Tian stamped her foot and said, "Who slandered me for causing a scene at the Industry and Commerce Bureau? I think: it must be that Guan Xiangyang who changed his mind and didn't want to meet me, so he made up a story. Dad, since he doesn't like me, I don't care about him either. Tomorrow, I'm not going on the blind date."
Xia Jiufa was also confused, thinking: Maybe it was Guan Xiangyang's ex-girlfriend who went to bother him, but blamed my daughter for it.
Originally, Xia Jiufa wanted to call the matchmaker to explain, but then he thought: Damn it, it's not like my daughter can't get married.
That afternoon, the matchmaker called again and asked, "Old Xia, have you asked your daughter?"
“I asked, and my daughter stayed at the company all morning and didn’t go out. That guy made up a lie just to avoid seeing my daughter. I think we should just give up. My daughter doesn’t want to marry him anyway.”
After Xia Jiufa finished speaking, he angrily hung up the phone.
The matchmaker was also a bit confused, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "This is really strange. One person said that Xia Tian went and caused a scene, while another said that Xia Tian stayed in the company and didn't even leave the door. Who is lying?"
After much thought, the matchmaker concluded that Guan Xiangyang had lied.
The person who introduced them knew Xia Tian and knew that she was a reserved and self-respecting woman. How could such a girl go and cause a scene?
The matchmaker called Guan Xiangyang and said unhappily, "Guan, you have to be honest and sincere. You can't make up lies or slander people. Xia Tian is a quiet and classy girl. How could she possibly cause a scene at your workplace? I'm telling you, if you don't want to go on a blind date with her, just say so. Don't throw mud at her."
The matchmaker hung up the phone after speaking.
Guan Xiangyang was completely bewildered. He thought about it for a long time and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the girl who came to make trouble this morning wasn't Xia Tian? Or was it another woman deliberately impersonating Xia Tian?"
Guan Xiangyang decided: He still needs to meet with Xia Tian tomorrow. Once they meet, the truth will come out.
Guan Xiangyang immediately called the matchmaker and said, "Uncle, I've thought about it, and maybe it's a misunderstanding. The woman who caused a scene at our Industry and Commerce Bureau this morning might be an imposter. I think she might be a friend of Xia Tian's who has a problem with Xia Tian. Hearing that Xia Tian was going to meet me, she deliberately came and made a scene to give me a bad impression of Xia Tian."
The matchmaker suddenly realized and said, "That's very likely. Since that's the case, we can't fall for it. Let's meet at booth number eight in Yipinxiang Teahouse at 3 pm tomorrow."
The matchmaker called Xia Jiufa again, speaking cautiously, "Old Xia, what happened at the Industry and Commerce Bureau this morning is likely a misunderstanding. Perhaps someone is trying to break up your daughter's marriage with Guan Xiangyang. We can't fall for it. Guan Xiangyang has already indicated that the meeting at 3 pm tomorrow will still take place as scheduled."
Xia Jiufa said happily, "Great! Since Guan Xiangyang has changed his attitude, I welcome it."
Xia Jiufa ran happily to Xia Tian's office and said, "Daughter, tomorrow at 3 pm, you and Guan Xiangyang will meet at booth number eight in Yipinxiang Tea House."
Xia Tian frowned and said, "Dad, Guan Xiangyang is slandering me for causing trouble. Are you suggesting I meet with him? Wouldn't that be humiliating me?"
“Honey, they said it’s all a misunderstanding. Maybe someone is trying to sabotage your marriage with Guan Xiangyang. We can’t fall for that. Honey, Guan Xiangyang has a bright future. I heard he’s going to be promoted to deputy director next year. He has a very promising future.”
Xia Tian said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll go and meet him."
Summer ran to Xiaojie's house.
Ma Yunfei is still staying at Xiao Jie's house.
"Brother Ma, this morning I went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and made a huge scene, making Guan Xiangyang look like a fool, but that guy still wants to meet with me. What should I do?"
Ma Yunfei found it strange. Since Xia Tian had made a big scene and revealed his ugly side to Guan Xiangyang, Guan Xiangyang should have put on the brakes.
Ma Yunfei frowned and said in confusion, "This is really strange, so strange. Tianmei, since Guan Xiangyang is still not giving up, let's put on another show tomorrow."
"Brother Ma, do you have any other ideas?"
Ma Yunfei decisively said, "Tianmei, when you see Guan Xiangyang tomorrow, tell him that you are indeed pregnant, but you must ask him to keep it a secret. If he asks you whose child it is, just wave to me, and I will come over and introduce myself to Guan Xiangyang."
Xia Tian sighed and said, "I've really ruined my reputation. The first time I went on a blind date, I was diagnosed with AIDS; the second time, I was accused of being a bad woman who got pregnant out of wedlock and abandoned her daughter; the third time, I was pregnant out of wedlock again. If people find out, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married."
Ma Yunfei said with a smile, "Tianmei, why don't you just marry this section chief?"
Xia Tian said unhappily, "I'd rather stay single for life than marry this power-hungry man. This morning, the first time I saw him, I had a bad feeling. I felt that there was a hint of malice, a hint of cunning, and a hint of cruelty in his eyes."
"Tianmei, it's not that serious, is it?"
"Really, I think this man is no ordinary person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risen so quickly, becoming a full-fledged department head in his early thirties."
"Perhaps this section chief has connections."
"I don't know about that. I can ask when we meet tomorrow."
Xiao Jie advised, "Xia Tian, I think your aversion to love and marriage might indicate some psychological issues. It's not their fault that they're rich or in positions of power. In my opinion, while rich people aren't necessarily clean and officials aren't necessarily upright, being rich and holding office both demonstrate a certain level of talent."
Ma Yunfei disagreed with Xiao Jie's point of view. Based on his life experience in his previous life, all those who became rich must have a government background. Take him for example, if it weren't for his godfather, the town mayor Gu Le, supporting him, he wouldn't have been able to set up the yam sales station.
Let alone earning five million in four months, I probably couldn't even earn fifty thousand in four years.
Being an official requires a background, as the Chinese proverb goes: dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget rats that know how to dig holes.
This proverb also illustrates a certain truth.
In short, Guan Xiangming's ability to become a division-level cadre at the age of thirty-one was not solely due to his talent; he must have had a very strong background.
Xia Tian opened up about herself: "I have no interest in getting rich or becoming an official. I just want to live a quiet life with someone I love and who loves me. That's my ideal."
