As for Daqing and the others, they were just average, so nothing was said in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the courtyard, Hu Zi reluctantly followed Daqing and the other two to the boss’s office. He couldn’t help but wonder why he still hadn’t succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting was in a meeting, which allowed Hu Zi to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you handle it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but dragging it out as long as possible would be something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chunsheng entered Zeng Zhenqing’s office. \"You’re really not listening, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chunsheng was very troubled, \"Leader, I really have no say in this. It’s not that I’m disobedient, it’s just that none of them seem right to me. I don’t want to settle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you consider suitable? It’s okay if there isn’t anyone this time; come again in three days. We can stop when you’re satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Zhang Chunsheng felt bitter. Would he have to keep appearing at such events in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not argue. \"Yes, I will definitely come the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Qin Zhiyuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secretary Qin should be back at work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Zhenqing glanced at Zhang Chunsheng. \"You know that’s not what I meant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chunsheng just smiled foolishly, thinking this was Qin Zhiyuan’s issue to resolve himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Zhenqing sighed. \"What exactly do you two want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, I just want someone who seems right and is clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go with Qin Zhiyuan next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhiyuan, who had just entered, heard this and felt a pang of bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tan Shaoting’s meeting ended, he saw three people sitting outside the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Hu Zi proactively explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, there’s nothing I can do if they don’t fancy me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting nodded, \"What about you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I’m going to the young woman’s house tomorrow. I want her parents to meet me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chengzi’s words, Tan Shaoting nodded and then looked at Daqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll meet with the young woman the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting looked at Hu Zi, \"There’s another one in three days; go to that as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two chuckled, recalling how Hu Zi had vowed not to attend again. But now he was promptly informed he had to go again soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zi nodded, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting looked at the other two, \"You two should make the most of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both nodded, acknowledging how valuable this opportunity was. It truly was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Da Biao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da Biao is doing well. He was the first to finish and went to send the young woman home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine. We don’t know when Da Biao will return. You guys can leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chengzi called out to the two and returned to his own office with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhang Chunsheng came out, Hu Zi and the other two left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Daqing stayed behind to wait for Da Biao, chatting quietly in the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Da Biao took the car keys and left with Huang Xiaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the car, Huang Xiaoqing gave directions since her home wasn’t far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not completely clueless, Da Biao said, \"We should buy a few things first. It’s embarrassing to visit for the first time empty-handed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring her, Da Biao drove to the department store, which was just about to close. They purchased some snacks, two bottles of liquor, and a pack of cigarettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were only three people in the family, there was no need to prepare anything for kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoqing felt very satisfied. Da Biao’s actions indicated the importance he placed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She genuinely thought highly of Da Biao, despite the age difference and the fact that his job didn’t align with her parents’ expectations. Nonetheless, she had decided on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time in her life she hadn’t listened to her parents. Of course, it felt nerve-wracking, but also a little exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My house is just ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang family had a small courtyard, and Da Biao followed Huang Xiaoqing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parents were worried about their daughter. They knew she went on a matchmaking meeting, and they were anxious about it. The other party likely was older, and possibly many were from the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only one daughter, with no grand ambitions, just hoping she could live happily without aiming for a high status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, orders from above made refusing impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple had already advised their daughter, who was a compliant child all her life. But it had been such a long time; how come she hadn’t returned yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they fretted, they heard noise from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parents came out together to see a man in military uniform carrying things and entering with their daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both had a bad feeling, but being educated, they didn’t react overtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their expressions, Huang Xiaoqing knew her parents weren’t pleased. Still, she wanted to fight for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, Dad, this is Mr. Da Biao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello to both of you,\" Da Biao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father nodded and said, \"Please, come in.\" Inviting him in as a guest couldn’t hurt; approving or not was another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Biao followed them inside. Their home was very clean, just like how his sister-in-law tidied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Biao nodded and sat while Huang Xiaoqing sat opposite her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, Dad, he is Mr. Da Biao. We both think highly of each other, so I brought him home for you to meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang parents didn’t respond to their daughter but looked at Da Biao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed like someone of significance, but they didn’t want their daughter’s life to be hard. He may be excellent, but they still hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Biao stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, Auntie, my name is Da Biao. I’m an orphan and began training at eleven. I retired three years ago and am now an instructor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood their daughter well. If she brought him home, she clearly was interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing what Da Biao said, they felt somewhat relieved knowing he wasn’t on the battlefield anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Biao continued, \"I’m stationed at a garrison now, twenty-eight years old. I know I’m not the greatest catch, but I genuinely think Ms. Huang is wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have any questions, please, I will answer sincerely.\" With that, he sat upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang couple exchanged a look. Then her father spoke, \"Mr. Da Biao, we’re just an ordinary family. We want our daughter to live a normal life. We don’t have high material expectations for a son-in-law because we don’t want her constantly worrying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you understand our concern as parents,\" her father finished with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Biao stood up again, answering as if he were addressing a superior’s questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, Auntie, I understand your worries. I actually feel the same way. I’ve never considered settling down before, fearing it would endanger my partner. But now I’ve retired, and the risk is much lower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-06T00:15:54.873Z",1,"novelbin.me","2712f57893e03892cdec4248c510420ac6eaf36e4dd25f5d8f3fabefb06e941b","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-1137","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-1185",1428,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-cover.jpg"]
