After reporting her work to her boss, Zuo Zuo was just about to say, "Boss, I'll be going now," when her boss looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiao Han, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
"No." Zuo Zuo has a good relationship with her boss. "Boss, you're not going to introduce me to someone, are you?"
"Yes. I have a niece, about your age. She just returned from studying abroad, and I'd like to introduce her to you."
The first thing Zuo Zuo did after learning she was being transferred to work under this leader was to thoroughly investigate his character, personality, temperament, professional abilities, and family relationships. Therefore, as soon as the leader spoke, Zuo Zuo knew who he was talking about. The leader's niece was a highly intelligent and beautiful woman. Zuo Zuo quite admired her abilities. However… “Leader, is your niece planning to develop her career in China?”
"She's just a young girl, of course she'll develop her career in the country."
"So...should I call her or should you ask her out?"
The leader thought for a moment. "I'll ask her out. How about this weekend?"
"Okay. Thanks, boss."
"You little rascal, dress smartly this weekend."
"good."
On the weekend, Zuo Zuo arrived at the agreed location ten minutes early.
A moment later, the leader and his wife walked over with a young woman.
Zuo Zuo immediately stood up and greeted them.
The leader smiled. "Sit down. Xiao Han, this is my niece, Qiao Na."
After greeting Qiao Na, Zuo Zuo briefly introduced herself.
Jona was a little reluctant when she arrived. But after seeing Zuo Zuo, she realized that he was not only handsome but also had a special kind of charm, so she thought she could give it a try.
Zuo Zuo also had a good impression of Qiao Na.
Soon, Zuo Zuo and Qiao Na started chatting together.
Seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, the boss's wife found an excuse to take him away.
After leaving Zuo Zuo and Qiao Na's sight, the leader's wife pinched him.
"Ouch!" The leader was bewildered by the pinch. "Why did you pinch me?"
"Hmph!" The boss's wife glared at him. "Why are you only thinking about your niece? Our daughter doesn't even have a boyfriend yet."
While rubbing the spot where his wife had pinched him, the leader said, "Why didn't I think of our daughter? But our daughter is neither as pretty nor as smart as my niece. How could I possibly introduce our daughter to Xiao Han?"
"How do you know Xiao Han doesn't like our daughter? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, aren't you his boss? If he marries our daughter, wouldn't you be able to help him get ahead?"
The leader glanced at her husband. "Xiao Han doesn't need my help. She's capable and has connections. If she didn't want to gain more experience, she would be higher than me by now."
The leader's wife was somewhat skeptical. "His father holds a high position, but that's in the military. He has no connections in politics."
"It's alright?" The leader looked at her husband and said, "Their family probably has more and stronger connections in the political world than in the military."
"Really? His dad's just a soldier, isn't he?"
"I don't know the specifics. But let me tell you, my boss's boss always asks Xiao Han if he's encountered any difficulties at work?"
"Huh? This...could this be a coincidence?"
"Is it just a coincidence that I can't tell?"
"Is his family really that well-connected?"
"Um."
"Then...then shouldn't you introduce our daughter to him?"
The boss also wanted to introduce his daughter to Zuo Zuo. But... "Our daughter is not good enough for Xiao Han."
The boss's wife pinched him again. "How can you talk to your own daughter like that?"
"Ouch! Why are you pinching me again? Let me tell you, I also want to introduce our daughter to Xiao Han, but if Xiao Han doesn't like our daughter, how can Xiao Han and I work together in the future?"
The boss's wife glared at him. "Is your pride more important, or your daughter's happiness?"
"Well……"
"Hmph! People always say that other people's wives are better, but their own children are the best. But you, you always think that our daughter is not as good as your niece."
The boss felt his wife couldn't objectively evaluate their child. However… to appease his wife, he racked his brains and came up with a line: “That's true, my niece is obviously smart. Our daughter, on the other hand, is wise beyond her years.”
"That's right. Our daughter just doesn't seem as smart as your niece. Actually, our daughter is much smarter than your niece."
"Hehe. You're right."
"Don't just think about your niece when you find a good young man in the future."
The leader smiled. "I think there's potential between them. So, there's no going back."
The leader's spouse felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this. However... "They do seem quite well-matched."
"Right? I have good taste, don't I?"
"Yes. You have good taste. If you can't find our daughter someone as good as Xiao Han in the future, I'll never forgive you."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely find our daughter a... um..." The boss felt it would be a bit difficult to find someone as good as Zuo Zuo. "Um... I'm her father, I'll definitely find our daughter a good one."
"That's more like it."
On the other side, Zuo Zuo and Qiao Na hit it off more and more as they chatted.
Jona looked at Zuo Zuo and said, "I like playing golf. What about you?"
"I like shooting."
"You must play golf, right?"
"Um."
"Let's go play golf together sometime." Jona is a very good golfer.
"Okay. How many years did you stay abroad?"
“I went abroad right after graduating from high school. There’s a Western restaurant in Beijing that has really good steak, let’s go there another day.”
"Okay. By the way, have you decided where you want to work?"
Jona looked at Zuo Zuo and said, "Before I met you, I was still hesitating between accepting the invitation from a big foreign company and returning to China to work. After meeting you, I no longer hesitated."
Zuo Zuo smiled. "Welcome back."
Jona winked mischievously. "You can't be arrogant, okay?"
Zuo Zuo smiled and said, "Our country has also developed very rapidly in recent years."
Then, Zuo Zuo told Qiao Na about many of the changes that had occurred in the past few years.
Since Jona had decided to stay, she wanted to learn more about the situation back home. Therefore, Jona listened very attentively.
Seeing how attentively Qiao Na was listening, Zuo Zuo continued to talk a bit more.
Seeing that Zuo Zuo knew so much, Jona was even more satisfied with him.
Zuo Zuo and Qiao Na's relationship developed very quickly.
A month later, Jona introduced Zuo Zuo to her parents. Her parents were very satisfied with Zuo Zuo.
After meeting Jona's parents, Zuo Zuo told Jona that he wanted to take her home to meet his family. Jona readily agreed.
When Qiao Na's mother learned that Qiao Na was going to Zuo Zuo's house with Zuo Zuo, she said, "Nana, take Tong Tong with you when you go." Tong Tong is the daughter of Zuo Zuo's boss.
Jona was a little unhappy. "Why should we bring her along?"
"It's not appropriate for a girl like you to go to someone's house alone. Bringing Tongtong along will keep you company and also make you seem more reserved."
Jona thought Tongtong was neither as pretty nor as smart as her, so she didn't take it too seriously. "Okay."
However, Qiao Na's mother never expected that her little scheme would completely change the fate of her daughter and Tongtong.
