Chapter 130 Being a Matchmaker



"Auntie Li, please come in and sit down."

Jiang Wanyue asked everyone to sit down and poured them a cup of brown sugar water.

Aunt Li took a sip of water and said embarrassedly, "I have something I would like to ask the factory director for help."

Jiang Wanyue thought she was talking about work.

I didn't expect it to be a private matter: "Well, I have a daughter who is eighteen years old this year. I'm looking for a boyfriend and I want to ask the factory director to be a matchmaker."

Jiang Wanyue: “…”

Does she look like a matchmaker?

"The factory manager also knows the man, and they are quite familiar with him." Aunt Li hesitated for a moment before speaking, "He is the accountant of the fishery, Zhao Xiangbei. The boy is hardworking and good-looking. My daughter fell in love with him at first sight, so she wanted to ask the factory manager to be a go-between."

Jiang Wanyue's head was covered with lumps.

This was something she was really not good at.

She could only mumble, "I'll just go and help mention it, just mention it."

The next morning, Jiang Wanyue took some time to go to the brigade headquarters.

Zhao Xiangbei's home was right next to the brigade headquarters. She saw Aunt Zhao washing clothes in the yard and walked over to say hello.

Aunt Zhao was very enthusiastic: "I just made some tea at home. Deputy Party Secretary, please come in and sit down. I'll pour you some tea."

"Don't bother, Auntie." Jiang Wanyue said dryly, "I just want to ask, Xiangbei's new house has been built a long time ago, when are you going to get married? Does he have a partner?"

When talking about this, Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh anxiously: "He is already 24 years old this year. The child of Erzhu who grew up with him next door is old enough to help with cooking, but he still refuses to get married! Before, he said that he didn't have a proper job and couldn't support the child, and he refused to go on a blind date. Now, he has such a stable job, and many people are jealous of his income. Isn't it time for him to get married? But he still refuses. I scold him a lot for this!"

Jiang Wanyue coughed and said, "What do you think of the daughter of Aunt Li from Group 5?"

"That girl is good-looking and hardworking, she'll make a good daughter-in-law." Aunt Zhao sighed, "But I think it's useless to say she's good. Xiangbei has to nod. As a mother, it's useless for me to say anything. Deputy Party Secretary, you're Xiangbei's leader, please help persuade him. He's old, we can't delay any longer!"

Jiang Wanyue: “…”

I really shouldn't have agreed to this. I feel like I've gotten myself into trouble.

However, looking at it from another perspective, a good leader should indeed take into account all aspects of the employees so that they can focus more on their work.

While working in the morning, Zhao Xiangbei came in and reported the accounts several times. Jiang Wanyue still didn't know how to start the conversation even though the words were on her lips.

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Xiangbei couldn't help it: "Jiang Jie, did I make a mistake at work? Why do you keep hesitating? I have a strong tolerance. If you are wrong, just tell me directly. I will accept it with an open mind and work hard to correct it!"

"No, no, you're doing an excellent job." Jiang Wanyue stood up. "That's right, you... Aunt Li from Group 5 has a daughter, she's eighteen years old and not bad looking. You just happen to be resting this weekend, why don't you find some time to meet her?"

Zhao Xiangbei looked incredulous: "Jiang Jie, are you asking me to go on a blind date?"

Jiang Wanyue nodded: "You are 24 years old, and you are at the age to start a family. If you have such ideas, you can try blind dating. If you are not satisfied, you can wait and see. No matter how old you are, you should not get married just for the sake of getting married."

"I know." Zhao Xiangbei's voice was muffled. After a pause, he asked, "Why did Sister Jiang get married before?"

This question made Jiang Wanyue ask. She opened the account book and said with her head down: "It happened eight or nine years ago. Who would remember it? If you have nothing else to do, just go home."

After Zhao Xiangbei left, Jiang Wanyue swore in her heart that she would never get involved in such matters again.

She is a leader and she only needs to take care of the work. In the future, the company's human resources administration can take care of the employees' personal matters.

Speaking of personnel administration, Jiang Wanyue started to have a headache again. These two positions were also very important. Who should be assigned to take up the positions?

Forget it, I’ll worry about it tomorrow.

She packed her things and left work.

When I left, I saw Zhao Xiangbei still sorting out the account books in the finance office.

Zhao Xiangbei stood in front of the window and saw Jiang Wanyue leave. He sat in the chair with melancholy in his eyes and was in a daze for a long time.

Not long after, the sky gradually darkened and he saw Song Huaizhi and Song Yunying coming out of the warehouse where Mr. Lu and Mr. Li lived.

He immediately stood up and followed: "It's getting dark, I'll take you two back."

When Mr. Lu and Mr. Li lived in Zhao Xiangbei's house before, Zhao Xiangbei also sent them several times. Song Huaizhi did not refuse and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"Huaizhi, I want to ask you a question." Zhao Xiangbei prepared himself for a long time and said with difficulty, "After your father passed away, have you ever thought about..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Yunying, who was walking beside him, suddenly burst into tears: "My father is not dead, he is just on a business trip. Uncle Zhao is a bad guy. I don't want to be friends with you anymore!"

She ran forward crying.

Song Huaizhi is eight years old this year. His father was often away from home since he was a child and his mother didn't pay much attention to them. He has always been more mature than others.

The Song family treated him and his sister well because they were a family.

Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Li were kind to him and his sister because their mother had helped them before.

The other people in the fishery were only nice to him and Yingzi out of politeness.

But Uncle Zhao is different.

If there was something delicious, she would save it for him and Yingzi, always play with them and tell them stories...

He had felt something was wrong before.

Unexpectedly...

Song Huaizhi raised his head and said, "Uncle Zhao, my mother is herself first, and then she is my mother. You should ask my mother's opinion instead of asking me."

In his dark eyes, Zhao Xiangbei felt that all his thoughts had nowhere to hide.

"I'm leaving first. Goodbye, Uncle Zhao."

Song Huaizhi quickly caught up with Song Yunying.

Zhao Xiangbei sighed silently.

Two days later, Song Deshun made the three samples that Smith needed, and Jiang Wanyue colored the three samples overnight.

At the appointed time, Jiang Wanyue, Xiang Lingxiao, and Wen, the accountant from the bamboo weaving factory, went to the provincial capital together.

The client this time was a Frenchman. Xiang Lingxiao had never seen what a foreigner looked like in his life, and he was very nervous all the way.

Accountant Wen is a woman who is naturally more careful. She is skeptical and says, "Director Jiang, how could a foreigner be interested in a factory run by a village like ours? Could they be liars who are deliberately deceiving us?"

"What can he cheat us of?" Jiang Wanyue asked, "These three samples only cost so little. What good would it do him to cheat us of them?"

Accountant Wen had nothing to say.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, the truck arrived at the provincial capital and went straight to the door of the foreign guests' guesthouse.
