"Okay, just perform well and do your best." Gu Zhan achieved his goal and agreed immediately.
He didn't think his son would succeed, after all, the choice was not only in his hands.
The reason I said that before was simply because I was worried that Gu Mingjing himself wouldn't take it seriously and would just do it perfunctorily.
Now that Gu Mingjing agreed, he felt relieved. After all, he knew his son, and once he set his mind to something, there was little he couldn't accomplish.
And even though Gu Zhan had previously belittled Gu Mingjing, he was still very confident in him. Among his peers, Gu Mingjing was definitely the best in all aspects.
If the two of them still couldn't fall in love in the end, just like he said before, they were just not destined to be together, and he would have to accept it.
Gu Mingjing agreed, and Gu Zhan began to instruct him, "When you go, you must dress up nicely and don't wear casual clothes. I remember you just got a new military uniform, right? Wear that when you go. You look best in a military uniform."
As someone who has dedicated most of his life to the army, Gu Zhan feels that wearing a military uniform is the most handsome, and nothing else can compare to it.
Gu Mingjing didn't disagree with him. He also thought the military uniform looked the best. "I know."
"Also, trim your hair and shave off your beard. You are almost six years older than Shushu. If you have an untidy beard, then when you two stand together, people who don't know you might think you are her uncle." Gu Zhan instructed, but he was used to bickering with his son and couldn't help but complain about him.
Gu Mingjing retorted, "Is six years old a big deal? How can there be a generational difference? Besides, I don't have a beard."
"Whether you have a beard or not, at least you should dress yourself well and don't give people a bad first impression." Gu Zhan didn't continue to talk back to him.
He didn't respond, and Gu Mingjing lost interest. "Okay, got it."
"Also, do you have food coupons, meat coupons, snack coupons, etc. on hand? If not, remember to exchange some in advance and be prepared. If the blind date is successful, you will have a week to deepen your relationship with Shushu, excluding the time spent on the journey. You will have to take him to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, right? You will have to go shopping in the department store, right? You will have to buy cakes, clothes, and shoes, right? Don't you need coupons for all these?" Gu Zhan continued to ask.
Gu Mingjing's mother passed away, so he was the only one who could take care of these things, so as to prevent Gu Mingjing, a young man who had never been in a relationship, from being inconsiderate and embarrassing himself.
After being reminded by Gu Zhan, Gu Mingjing remembered that he did not have many bills in his hand.
Although his salary was high and he had to pay a lot of bills every month, he was a bachelor and usually lived and ate in the army, so he basically didn't need any bills.
There were many married comrades in the army who had elderly parents and children to support, and had heavy family burdens, so he basically exchanged all his bills for comrades in need, and he only had a few food coupons left.
"Got it. I'll change it later. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" Gu Mingjing listened to Gu Zhan's advice obediently.
After all, Gu Zhan is an experienced person. He has been eating rice for decades longer than him, so he must know more than him.
It was rare for his son to be so well-behaved and not contradict him. Gu Zhan suddenly became excited and said, "Also, let me tell you, when the time comes..."
Gu Zhan told Gu Mingjing a lot of things to pay attention to when going on a blind date, which made Gu Mingjing feel dizzy. Is blind dating really that troublesome? If it is so troublesome, why do so many people go on blind dates so many times?
He didn't notice it at all. If it were any other time, he would have stopped listening to Gu Zhan's nagging.
Although he was complaining now, he still remembered what Gu Zhan said to him.
Gu Zhan gave his son advice on the phone, teaching him how to please the girl and how to pursue her.
On the other end of the phone, although Gu Mingjing did not write down what he said, his brain was constantly working, and he remembered everything Gu Zhan said.
The conversation between the two was interrupted only by the arrival of Gu Zhan's guards.
"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Gu Zhan stopped communicating with Gu Mingjing.
Gu Zhan's guard walked in, "Commander, there are still ten minutes until your next meeting begins."
After hearing the guard's reminder, Gu Zhan remembered that he had a meeting later and raised his hand to signal to wait a moment.
Picking up the phone again, Gu Zhan said, "Alright, I have a meeting later, so that's all I have to say. You must remember everything I just said. You've got your leave, so leave as soon as you're ready. It'll take a few days to get there."
"Okay, you go to the meeting first. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Gu Mingjing said.
After the other party hung up the phone, Gu Mingjing left the office and went back to pack his things.
After packing up his things, Gu Mingjing carried his luggage and walked towards Sheng Zhiye's office.
"Why are you here again? What's the matter?" Sheng Zhiye asked in surprise.
When he got the leave, he thought Gu Mingjing had left long ago.
Gu Mingjing said straight to the point: "I don't have enough bills on hand, so I came to you to exchange some. Do you have any?"
As soon as Sheng Zhiye heard it, he knew what he was going to use it for. While taking the ticket out of the drawer, he jokingly said, "Oh, you've grown up and now you know how to buy things for little girls."
Gu Mingjing ignored his teasing, counted the bills Sheng Zhiye handed to him, and returned some of the ones he had or thought were useless to him.
"Take them all. You never know when you might need them. Bring more to be prepared." Sheng Zhiye didn't accept them and pushed the bills to him.
Gu Mingjing thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he accepted it all.
"When the time comes, take the girl out for a walk more often and buy her some things. Don't be stingy." Sheng Zhiye began to remind her.
This bachelor finally got a blind date, and Sheng Zhiye really hopes that the two of them can get together.
"I understand. I'll leave first. I still have to catch a bus." Having achieved his goal, Gu Mingjing didn't plan to waste any more time and said goodbye.
"There's a car from the logistics department about to leave. You can take a ride and ask them to take you to the train station." Sheng Zhiye shouted at Gu Mingjing's back.
Gu Mingjing didn't look back, but stretched out his right hand and waved it to show that he understood.
Gu Mingjing got on the vehicle used by the logistics department to purchase supplies and arrived at the train station.
He was lucky, as there was a direct train to Beijing in an hour, so he didn't have to wait too long.
After buying a sleeper ticket, I found a place to sit in the waiting hall.
After getting on the train, looking at the scenery outside the window, Gu Mingjing's mind was full of thoughts.
I imagined the appearance of Jianshu in my mind, thought about this blind date, and thought about many things.
I don’t know if he noticed it, but he was looking forward to this trip to Beijing.
