Chapter 1124: Really like her?

"Xiaoling, not going back tonight?"

Zhou Miaomiao walked out of the office with a leather bag and met Zhou Xiaoling at the stairwell.

"Captain, going out again!"

Zhou Xiaoling raised her head and greeted with a smile: "I'm too tired today, I'm too lazy to go home, I'll just make do in the dormitory for the night."

Looking at Zhou Miaomiao's new watch, new hairstyle, new hairpin, new leather shoes, and new clothes, she said jokingly with some envy: "Are you going out to play with someone?"

"No way—just hanging out with friends."

Zhou Miaomiao walked down the stairs and said with a smile: "If you're not going back tonight, keep an eye on the phone in my office."

"No problem, I'll just sleep in your office; your bed is more comfortable."

Zhou Xiaoling followed her out with a washbasin and leaned in to ask in a low voice: "Got rich recently? Why are you all new?"

"Why? Envious?"

Zhou Miaomiao turned her head and looked at Zhou Xiaoling playfully, saying: "Don't you have a target?"

"Stop it, I'm just falling flowers intentionally, but the water is heartless—"

Zhou Xiaoling sighed and said: "Li Xue said, we can be friends, but don't think about her second brother."

"Hahaha—"

Zhou Miaomiao smiled and pinched Zhou Xiaoling's cheek, saying: "Among us, you are the best looking, what a pity."

"Want to go out and play with me?"

She raised her eyebrows and said to Zhou Xiaoling: "I'll introduce you to a sugar daddy, and tomorrow you'll be all new too."

"I'm not going—"

Zhou Xiaoling pouted and said: "You're just teasing me, where is there such a generous sugar daddy, even if there is, would you be willing to introduce him to me?"

She blinked her eyes, watched Zhou Miaomiao walk out, and asked: "You don't really have that... you're not with that someone anymore?"

"One red heart, two preparations."

Zhou Miaomiao didn't hide much from Zhou Xiaoling; her affairs were considered semi-public, and even her boyfriend didn't care, so what would others say.

"If you're willing, I can take you out to play right now, how about it?"

She deliberately teased Zhou Xiaoling: "Going to eat Western food tonight, going or not?"

"Not going, I'm not used to eating Western food."

Zhou Xiaoling struggled internally, but finally refused Zhou Miaomiao's proposal, but at the door, she saw the car that came to pick up Zhou Miaomiao.

"Since you have made your choice, stick to it."

Zhou Miaomiao looked at her and said: "Stop letting your imagination run wild, isn't that deputy section chief of the service section chasing you?"

After waving to the person who got off the car, she said to Zhou Xiaoling again: "Without that heart, without that courage, find a good person and live a good life."

After speaking, she walked out of the courtyard gate and got into the car opened by an old man.

Zhou Xiaoling stood at the door with the washbasin, looking at the old guy getting into the car; he could be Zhou Miaomiao's father.

The car left, and it also disrupted her thinking.

Who said she didn't have that heart or that courage? She just wanted to find a better one.

Zhou Miaomiao is proud now, wearing new clothes and a new watch, but she is using "old things."

Accompanying one is not enough, now she has found another; does she prefer old goods?

Gossip has long spread in the troupe, saying that Zhou Miaomiao has a new sugar daddy, and a rich one at that.

She has been picked up and dropped off several times, buying gifts and sending jewelry; the girls in the troupe are jealous.

The most amazing thing is not this, but that she has two sugar daddies, both supporting her, and neither is jealous.

Not only getting both power and wealth, but also having a boyfriend she gets along with normally.

The boyfriend likes her to the point of not caring about her "gossip."

A girl living to such a carefree degree can be considered an eye-opener for them, and they can only envy her.

Learn from Zhou Miaomiao?

Hehe, they can't even learn it—

Do you think no one is jealous to the point of being red-eyed? They actively stuck to him but were rejected, and she is just one of them.

Whenever Zhou Xiaoling thought of this, she couldn't help but feel discouraged, only blaming herself for not having good luck.

She really couldn't bear to part with her youth; if she let an old thing climb onto her, she could be disgusted to death.

Therefore, don't be jealous of money beyond your cognition and ability; you can't earn it, really can't earn it.

"What are you looking at? A stone waiting for a husband?"

Just as Zhou Xiaoling was gritting her teeth and letting her imagination run wild at the door, a greeting came from behind.

She turned her head and saw Wang Yajuan standing behind her.

"Instructor, you—you scared me!"

Zhou Xiaoling let out a long breath, patted her chest with her hand, and said coquettishly: "People scaring people will scare them to death—"

"If you don't do anything wrong, are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?"

Wang Yajuan looked at her amusedly, bypassed her, and was about to walk out, reminding her: "There are few people tonight, be careful."

"Hey—Instructor, aren't you going home?"

Zhou Xiaoling saw that Wang Yajuan didn't carry the canvas bag she used for work when she came out; she came out empty-handed.

Her eyes swept outside the door, and she asked in a low voice: "Do you also have a car coming to pick you up?"

"What car?"

Wang Yajuan stopped, turned her head to look at her, and said: "What level do you think I am, to have a car come to pick me up."

After speaking, she pointed to the washbasin in her hand and asked: "Going to take a bath or what? Going to eat or not?"

"Going—I was just worrying about what to do by myself!"

Zhou Xiaoling agreed very actively, didn't think about going back to change clothes, and followed Wang Yajuan out in a vest and shorts.

She put the washbasin in her hand at the gatehouse, put on plastic sandals, and looked like a silly big sister in the hutong.

Fortunately, it was after work, those who lived far away had left, and most of those who lived in the dormitory were eating in the big canteen.

Because the art troupe was relatively close to the guesthouse, it was closer than the big canteen.

Li Huai De allowed it; they didn't want to go to the big canteen, so they could eat in the small canteen.

But these girls were picky eaters, and many chose to eat at the guesthouse restaurant.

Although the food there was slightly more expensive, the environment was better and quieter.

Especially the food there was more delicious, after all, it was for outsiders.

It was also much better than the other two canteens in terms of time.

Their rehearsal time was late, and they couldn't find food in the big or small canteens, but they could always eat at the guesthouse.

Eighteen or nineteen, twenty-something, each one as beautiful as a flower, being missed and pursued by the young men in the factory.

The girls in the dance troupe had high horizons and high living standards.

From time to time, someone would invite them to eat; it was unsafe outside, but naturally, there was no problem at the guesthouse.

Even they themselves were willing to spend money on themselves, eating well and dressing well; there was still a lot of comparison in the troupe.

Zhou Xiaoling's family was still considered well-off, with parents both working, three children in the family, and she didn't suffer much.

Because she started working early, she had quite a bit of savings.

She was very willing to dress up in her daily life, especially after coming to work at the Red Star Factory.

It was very obvious that the Red Star Factory was richer than the railway.

The comparison here was not the size and earning ability of the two units, but the average living standard of the employees of the two units.

Actually, her comparison was still too one-sided; they came at a good time, just catching up with the Red Star Factory's takeoff.

If it were before, buying big crabs for the family? Keep dreaming.

Now it's different; the factory service department set up several rows of bungalows on both sides of the main road, hanging the sign of the service supply and marketing department.

Not to mention seafood, even beef, mutton, eggs, and milk could be bought.

Why doesn't Li Xuewu's family lack eggs? The eggs from the chickens raised by Banggeng in the Sihe Academy were all eaten by Zhao Yafang and her daughter.

It's because every family on the mountain started raising chickens, and the Red Star Factory was the first batch of supply channels.

Look at this policy, that clause, clearly requiring that villages are not allowed to raise more than three chickens.

But these regulations were useless in Red Star Village; from the beginning, Yin Mancang didn't think about obeying orders.

Especially this year, the contrast between Red Star Village and other villages was revealed all at once.

Because they didn't waste time and energy in the Great Learning activity, the crops last year were not only harvested well, but the crops this year were also planted well.

Delivering grain was not difficult, the villagers were full, and the enthusiasm for making money was naturally high.

Raising dogs, raising chickens, burning bricks, burning tiles, digging coal... the villagers on the mountain had plenty of work to make money.

Yin Mancang's right to speak in the village was absolute; if you didn't listen, he would slap you.

Of course, who dared not listen to him now? His son worked in the city, and his brother-in-law's children all had prospects.

He also found these projects for the village; some families had many people and were preparing to build brick and tile houses.

Mountain villages, brick and tile houses, just think about it; this was very difficult even in the 1990s.

But it's not difficult now; bricks and tiles were produced by the village's brick and tile factory, taken from local materials, burned locally, and pulled home to build houses.

You can only afford bricks and tiles and build new houses if you have money.

The villagers of Red Star Village have money; is raising chickens and dogs enough?

The vegetable gardens in front of and behind the houses had been supplying vegetables to the affiliated units down the mountain since last month.

With what they earned last year, plus what they saved in winter, after the busy farming season this year, the village started preparing to build houses one after another.

Three brick and tile houses, even the bride price for marrying a wife is less!

Look at the villagers of Red Star Village becoming awesome? Yin Mancang is even more awesome.

He learned from Li Xuewu, had a very good relationship with the Wei Third Regiment, and took a fancy to the tractors for farming on the mountain.

When the Wei Third Regiment made centralized purchases, they also brought three for them.

The scene of farming in Red Star Village this year can be considered a little cow sitting on a plane, awesome to the sky.

The young men in the village were arrogant when they went to other villages for blind dates; there was no way, the family had this condition.

Of course, the sweet fruit is hard-won, and the dead bones in the valley have nowhere to go.

It looks really good here, like a paradise, but what it relies on is still the severe means of Yin Mancang and the village committee.

Regarding the Great Learning, whoever dared to leak half a sentence, you don't have to stay in this village, they will send you up the mountain to "get lost."

Red Star Village cooperated well with the Wei Third Regiment, serving and protecting the Red Star Factory's units on the mountain well.

The cooperation between the three parties became closer, and these agricultural and sideline products naturally reached the Red Star Factory's service supply and marketing department first.

The channel belonged to the recycling station, and the supply and marketing department belonged to the factory service office, acting as an agent for sales and purchases, and the profit was quite considerable.

The consumption ability of the employees in the Red Star Factory was solid; more than 10,000 people got off work, and they could snatch up the agricultural and sideline products in the service department in one go.

These were non-planned products, naturally there was no such thing as tickets, just buying with money; which worker wouldn't want to?

Vegetables without tickets were considered discounted.

Of course, if you say our family eats in the canteen and doesn't cook, then there's no way, you can't enjoy these invisible benefits.

But these benefits being here represented that the Red Star Factory was getting better and better.

In the Fourth Capital in early June, it wasn't that hot at night.

Walking on the road to the guesthouse, the evening breeze blowing, it was quite pleasant.

Zhou Xiaoling followed Wang Yajuan, still thinking about Zhou Miaomiao in her heart.

Red lights and green wine, singing and dancing?

It's not that such places don't exist; as long as you want to play, there is always someone organizing.

The more suppressed, the more unrestrained.

Beep—

Just when she was walking in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of a car horn behind her.

After being pulled to the sidewalk by Wang Yajuan, she reacted, she was almost walking in the middle of the road.

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Wang Yajuan looked at her and looked at the passing car; it was that command car with an antenna.

"Oh oh—not thinking about anything."

Zhou Xiaoling pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "Thank you—Instructor."

"Off work, call me Comrade Wang Yajuan."

Wang Yajuan took back her gaze, glanced at Zhou Xiaoling, and said: "You don't even know how to be careful when walking."

"Hehe—Yajuan, stop talking about me—"

Actually, the relationship between the two was okay before, but later Zhou Miaomiao and Wang Yajuan had a falling out, and they all had to choose one of two.

Wang Yajuan spoke little, and her dance foundation was excellent; she was the pillar, and playing with her naturally had pressure.

So many girls chose Zhou Miaomiao, but they didn't expect Wang Yajuan to be silent and mix better than them.

Zhou Miaomiao's cadre status was still earned through hard work, but she didn't see Wang Yajuan pay anything.

It was said that who was her ex-boyfriend, but if all ex-boyfriends in the world helped like this, she wished she had ten or eight.

After coming to the Red Star Factory, they felt even more alienated from Wang Yajuan, and finally watched Wang Yajuan become a leader.

So, this relationship had long been clearly divided; call her Instructor at work, and after work...

Not to mention after work, even at work, how many words could they say when they met.

Today was just a coincidence, plus Wang Yajuan's active invitation, otherwise she wouldn't have followed out.

Hearing Wang Yajuan say let her call her Comrade, she couldn't say it; it wasn't Wang Yajuan's fault in the first place.

The past things had really passed; they all came from the railway to the Red Star Factory, Zhou Miaomiao called Wang Yajuan Instructor, so what were they competing for.

So, she still awkwardly called the title between former colleagues.

"Thinking about who? Tell me?"

Wang Yajuan glanced at her and asked: "Han Lu is dating, right? Are you dating too?"

There are requirements for dating in the art troupe; you must tell the instructor.

It's not that you can't date, serious ones are fine, just tell the organization first.

Don't get married suddenly and delay the performance work.

Of course, if you choose to report to the organization, it means you have withdrawn from the competition for the core position.

Because the core position needs performance guarantees; if you say you won't perform temporarily, that's a management accident.

"I don't—"

Zhou Xiaoling heard Wang Yajuan say this, her heart skipped a beat, and she finally woke up; the other party was the instructor.

"I don't know anything about Han Lu's affairs."

"Well, it doesn't matter, I didn't ask you to verify, and I don't need to verify."

Wang Yajuan nodded and said: "She didn't have the attitude and preparation to compete for the pillar in the first place, let her be."

This is not something everyone can hear; Zhou Xiaoling didn't know why, but she felt pressure.

"I'm not dating, it's still early."

"Well, that's good, we're the same age, right?"

Wang Yajuan nodded and said: "Actually, you can also consider personal emotional problems."

"Ah—"

Zhou Xiaoling looked at Wang Yajuan with a bitter smile and asked: "Your meaning is, I also don't have the qualification to compete for the core actor?"

"What do you think?"

Wang Yajuan turned her head and glanced at Zhou Xiaoling, saying: "Do you have this ideal and preparation?"

"But..."

Zhou Xiaoling bit her lip and said sadly: "Who doesn't want to stand in front of the stage."

"That stage is too small."

Wang Yajuan put her arm around her shoulder and said: "Your life's stage has just begun."

"Did you find me tonight just to notify me of this?"

Zhou Xiaoling raised her head and looked at Wang Yajuan, saying: "I'm a little sad."

"Hehe—"

Wang Yajuan said lightly: "Have you seen me say this to anyone else?"

She bumped her shoulder against the ball beside her and said: "It's just that the words have reached this point; if you establish confidence now and double your efforts, you can also continue to compete."

"Is Zhou Miaomiao going to transfer?"

Zhou Xiaoling looked at her and said: "Only when the pillar's position is vacated do we need to compete, right?"

"Who said that? At any time, the capable go up and the mediocre go down."

Wang Yajuan glanced at her and said: "However, there is a change in Zhou Miaomiao's core actor status."

"She has work herself and cannot guarantee the stage in the future, so we can only train a few more."

She patted Zhou Xiaoling on the shoulder and said: "Those of us who came together, actually, our ages have arrived; you should know this."

"Of course, we are the core, and also the absolute main force, but look at the new girls, sixteen or seventeen years old, do they look like us back then?"

"The Yangtze River waves push the front waves?"

Zhou Xiaoling said amusedly: "Am I considered a front wave now? Am I old?"

"Not admitting you're old? Don't want personal life anymore?"

Wang Yajuan tapped her forehead amusedly and said: "At this time, don't think for yourself; do you want to find a partner at twenty-two or twenty-three?"

"What about you?"

Zhou Xiaoling pouted and said: "I haven't heard that you found a partner."

Her courage grew, and she actively counterattacked: "And Zhou Miaomiao, you don't know about her affairs again."

"Do you want to learn from her? Then I won't care about you," Wang Yajuan curled her lips and said: "She can let go, but are you willing to let yourself go?"

"Another thing, you only see her appearance outside, but her training is still the most diligent among you."

Wang Yajuan said: "Core actors are always capable people going up; there is no such thing as relationships."

"So, you can look down on her, but you can't not admire her."

"You also admire her? She is your defeated opponent—"

Zhou Xiaoling said with a smile: "She didn't say less jealous words about you in private."

"Isn't this a good thing? I'm still afraid of people being jealous?"

Wang Yajuan smiled, took her into the gate of the guesthouse, and watched the sunset reflecting on the Tuanjie Lake, which was too fantasy-like.

"I can't compare to her resilience; just the current work has made me dizzy."

She turned her head and looked at Zhou Xiaoling, saying: "At least I don't have her ability to balance both."

"Don't let her hear this, she'll be overjoyed."

Zhou Xiaoling said with a smile, but saw the jeep parked at the door; it was the one that just passed.

She was busy talking to Wang Yajuan and didn't look carefully; only now did she recognize it was the security office's car.

"Staring straight, right?"

Li Xuewu reached out and pulled Zhao Yajun's chin; why is this hairy boy a bit silly.

He smiled and reminded: "Can you stop staring at people straight on, don't scare people away."

"Second brother—"

Zhao Yajun is not a shy person, but at this moment he was like a big girl, a bit embarrassed by Li Xuewu's words.

"Really like her?"

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother's brother-in-law amusedly; this kid has never asked him for anything since he was brought into the factory by him.

Everyone knows his relationship with him, but they haven't seen him bragging to others, let alone showing off in front of others.

The matter of Yang Fengshan's brother-in-law can be considered a warning bell in the factory; whoever has a brother-in-law remembers this matter.

Zhao Yajun is not his brother-in-law, but he can be considered an in-law.

I don't know what happened this afternoon, he came to his office twisting and turning to find him.

Peng Xiaoli naturally knows who he is; she wouldn't block him.

Li Xuewu thought he had something to do, or wanted to make progress.

If he really wanted to make progress, coming to find him actively can also be considered a kind of progress.

At least better than those who pretend to have no relationship.

But after listening to Zhao Yajun finish speaking, Li Xuewu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The captain of the cycling patrol team of the Red Star Factory security section found the person in charge of the security group because he wanted to find a partner.

Li Xuewu didn't know whether to say he was promising or not promising.

He worked hard to come to his door, but it wasn't for progress.

But to say that a nineteen-year-old young man actively looks for a partner is better than those who say they are not in a hurry but can't find one.

Guess who he took a fancy to?

Li Xuewu didn't expect that this kid's eyes were so tricky, he bit the best piece of meat in one bite.

"I... I don't know either—"

Zhao Yajun didn't dare to look into Li Xuewu's eyes, lowered his head and said: "I just see her, and my heart beats wildly."

"Hehehe—good thing!"

Li Xuewu said with a light smile: "It shows you've grown up; men and women falling in love, this is normal, you have the right to like anyone."

"However, what I said to you in the office this afternoon, have you thought it through?"

He tapped the dining table and reminded: "The more beautiful the girl, the higher the heart; if you really like her, you have to show resilience."

"And..."

"I understand, second brother, I've figured it out."

Before Li Xuewu finished speaking, Zhao Yajun looked like he was going to the battlefield, looking at Li Xuewu seriously and saying: "I won't care about what she thought before."

After saying this, his courage seemed to be used up, and he lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "There are many people who have ideas about second brother..."

"Hey—! Returning kindness with enmity, right!"

Li Xuewu amusedly reached out and flicked his forehead, saying: "I told you this because I don't want you to have a knot in your heart later; we brothers are both open people, say whatever we have."

"But how you deal with it, how you think, and how you live your life later, that's your own business, don't mention this matter again."

After speaking, seeing Wang Yajuan bringing Zhou Xiaoling into the restaurant, he waved his hand.

"Second, second brother—"

This kid saw the target coming in and was a bit nervous; his speech was stuttering.

"Look at your lack of promise, don't lose face for me; I rarely act as a matchmaker, and the success rate is maintained at 100%!"

"Leader, hello—" Wang Yajuan saw Li Xuewu waving, so she brought Zhou Xiaoling over.

Hearing the two greet, Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, shook hands with both of them, and said: "It was you guys I met on the road just now, right?"

"Almost scared, Xiaoling didn't notice the car."

Wang Yajuan, following Li Xuewu's gesture, sat opposite with the somewhat surprised Zhou Xiaoling.

Zhao Yajun was blushing like a big shrimp at this moment, seeing Zhou Xiaoling in a half-sleeve and dark green shorts.

He led the cycling team to patrol the factory area every day, and he had seen all kinds of big girls, but today he encountered a hurdle.

"Just talking to Yajun, and he reminded me, so I knew it was you."

Li Xuewu introduced them very casually: "Zhao Yajun, captain of the cycling brigade of our factory's security section."

"Hello"

"Hello, hello—"

Wang Yajuan took the initiative to greet Zhao Yajun, and Zhou Xiaoling followed with a greeting.

But no matter how she looked at it, she felt strange; why did she meet Li Xuewu today?

It's not that Li Xuewu is elusive and can't be seen, but in the past half year, she has rarely seen him in such occasions.

A factory leader, eating in the guesthouse with a little shrimp, how could it not be strange.

Especially the two sitting here, as if they were deliberately waiting for them.

Zhou Xiaoling's eyes rolled around, looking at Li Xuewu, and then at Zhao Yajun, who was blushing and lowering his head slightly.

Li Xuewu was really helpful; he had already ordered the food, and didn't play tricks, let alone say any polite words.

It was like chatting about family affairs, making the "coincidence" between the two sides sound very natural.

"Just happened to meet, I'll treat you today," Li Xuewu said with a smile: "After work, we are all friends and comrades, don't be polite."

"I won't pretend with you; it's rare to have a chance for you to treat."

Wang Yajuan said with a smile: "This is the first time I've seen you in two months."

"So exaggerated? I've become a dragon—"

Li Xuewu joked, glanced at the silent Zhao Yajun and Zhou Xiaoling, and said: "I've known Yajuan for a long time, and I met Xiaoling last time I went to Yangcheng."

After speaking, he gestured to Zhao Yajun beside him and asked: "Have you met Yajun?"

"Met, often pass by our door."

Wang Yajuan nodded to Zhao Yajun with a smile and looked at Zhou Xiaoling beside her, asking: "Have you seen him?"

"Seems to have seen him, don't remember much."

Zhou Xiaoling seemed to understand something; she was not a girl of eleven or twelve, let alone a fool.

Looking at the food served by the waiter, the richness exceeded their daily food standards.

Li Xuewu was also quite surprised; he looked back at the kitchen direction, asked the waiter, and found out that Yang Lao Er was on duty.

"All young people, don't be too restrained; if you are restrained, I won't dare to eat."

He pointed to Zhao Yajun and said: "We are relatives, my eldest brother is his brother-in-law."

Having introduced it so directly, Li Xuewu said again: "I rarely go back to the big courtyard on weekdays, and I have to pretend not to know him when I see him at work, hehe—"

"I've seen you in the big courtyard, right?"

Wang Yajuan was also very helpful; Zhou Xiaoling just ate and didn't speak, Zhao Yajun was too nervous, she could only speak.

If Li Xuewu spoke alone, it would be awkward.

Zhao Yajun was asked by her, and he smiled stiffly, saying: "Yes, yes, Instructor Wang, I went to see my sister."

"Hehehe—what are you nervous about?"

Wang Yajuan looked at him amusedly and asked: "Do you think I'm scary, or Xiaoling is scary?"

Asking this, Zhou Xiaoling also looked at Zhao Yajun; she didn't understand now, was this Li Xuewu's meaning, or...

"No..."

Zhao Yajun curled his lips and finally summoned the courage to look at Zhou Xiaoling.

Only after the gaze touched, he couldn't help but look at Wang Yajuan.

This nervousness made Zhou Xiaoling laugh.

"Leader, when did you work part-time in the trade union?"

She looked at Li Xuewu very calmly and said with a smile: "I haven't heard that you have the ability to act as a matchmaker and introduce partners."

"You don't know this—"

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Although the number of times I've acted as a matchmaker is not many, every time it has been successful."

"My driver Han Jiankun, Chef He from the big canteen, and Han Yating, general manager of the International Hotel, were all introduced by me."

He raised his eyebrows and said: "How about it? Do you believe me?"

"What, I believe you!"

Zhou Xiaoling covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes curved, very beautiful.

She gestured to Zhao Yajun and said: "So you want to introduce me to Captain Zhao? Through our instructor to find me?"

"Reversed—the order is reversed."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "It was Yajun who came to find me this afternoon, saying he met his heart-beating girl, national beauty and heavenly fragrance, sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shaming flowers..."

"Hahaha—"

Zhou Xiaoling laughed heartily, carefully looking at Zhao Yajun; this person is a bit dark, but there is some handsomeness between his brows.

This is true; Li Xuewu's sister-in-law Zhao Yafang is actually very good-looking.

Just think, Li Xuewu is the kind of person who picks the good-looking ones when looking for a partner.

Li Xuewen is only different from his younger brother in temper and personality, but the brothers are very similar.

When Li Xuewen was in school, many girls chased him, and he picked and chose before he took a fancy to Zhao Yafang.

A girl from the countryside, why did she get Li Xuewen's pursuit?

Zhao Yajun is dark, besides being tanned from doing farm work at home, there is also training after entering the factory, and daily work tanning.

Regardless of what Zhou Xiaoling thinks, since she is sitting here, she has to see what kind of person the other party is.

If even the appearance and personality don't match, then there's nothing to talk about.

"Leader, this doesn't sound like something he can say, are you lying to me?"

Zhou Xiaoling looked at Zhao Yajun with a smile and asked: "Are you afraid to look at me?"

"No, second brother's words were a bit mysterious."

Zhao Yajun raised his hand and touched his neck, then looked at Zhou Xiaoling and said: "But it was indeed me who took the initiative to find second brother for help."

"Need help to date?"

Zhou Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yajun, asking: "Are you not confident, or do you think with Director Li here, I'm easier to accept you?"

Wang Yajuan saw Zhou Xiaoling's somewhat aggressive tone and glanced at Li Xuewu.

Seeing that he was just watching the fun, she held back and didn't interrupt.

"I was afraid that taking the initiative to confess to you would be too abrupt."

Zhao Yajun still didn't dare to look directly into Zhou Xiaoling's eyes, his face was red, but his speech was smooth.

"Actually, asking second brother to help me was to give you some trust foundation, after all, you don't know what kind of person I am."

"You haven't officially appeared in front of me, how would I know what kind of person you are?"

Zhou Xiaoling turned her gaze to Li Xuewu and asked: "Leader, can I refuse? Will you not let me eat?"

"Hehe—hahaha!"

Li Xuewu laughed out loud first, then laughed a little louder.

He patted Zhao Yajun on the shoulder, looked at the kid's stunned gaze, and said to Zhou Xiaoling: "Of course you can refuse, my matchmaker uses red thread, not iron chains."

"Don't you want to introduce yourself?"

Zhou Xiaoling smiled and looked at Zhao Yajun, saying: "You asked second brother to come, isn't it because you want me to know what kind of person you are."

Zhao Yajun looked at her stunned, feeling the strength of his second brother on his shoulder, and then reacted.

"I, our family is from Red Star Commune, I am 20 years old this year."

He introduced himself actively: "I have an elder sister, two younger brothers, and a younger sister; my parents are farmers, and my grandparents are both alive."

"So, you borrowed second brother's light to work at the Red Star Factory?"

Zhou Xiaoling asked very directly; the previous sway had already made Zhao Yajun sweat on his forehead.

Li Xuewu didn't care about Zhou Xiaoling's directness; this is dating, not playing cards, and it's not like cheating.

Seeing that he didn't care about Zhou Xiaoling's question, Zhao Yajun paused, then nodded and said: "Yes, second brother introduced me to work in the factory."

Zhou Xiaoling nodded and asked: "Then can you borrow second brother's light to become a cadre and make progress in the future?"

"Ah—?"

Zhao Yajun had already felt the directness of the girl he was heart-beating for, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.

This is too direct, it made him stunned.

"That... I still want to rely on my own efforts..."

"How to work hard? Do you have plans and goals?"

Zhou Xiaoling shook her head slightly and said: "I might not agree to get along with you."

"It's not because of your background, nor because of your current work."

She looked at Zhao Yajun and said: "You came to the city to work with second brother's help; if you were a college student with a cadre position, I wouldn't say anything about you."

"But you are just a security officer now; to become a cadre and make progress, how hard do you have to work?"

Zhou Xiaoling's tone was very calm and gentle, not bossy or arrogant.

"I have self-knowledge of my own conditions, and it's not that there are no better conditions chasing me; how can I meet you through a blind date, like you, and marry you without reservation?"

Zhao Yajun listened to her, his face was a bit gloomy, his fingers pinched the chopsticks, and he bit his lip tightly.

When he came out of the house, he shouldered the hope of his parents and grandparents, and also wanted to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters.

Indeed, most of his monthly salary was brought to his family, and the family's life had indeed improved in the past two years.

It's just that he is still young, has fighting spirit, and has ambition, so he works hard in the factory and never asks Li Xuewu for any benefits.

At the beginning, he dared to risk his life for things like chasing criminals and climbing trains, all for the sake of effort and progress.

It's just that these words couldn't be said on today's occasion, and what people said was very reasonable.

You can't just commit yourself to someone because of a sentence of "don't bully the young and poor."

Zhou Xiaoling saw him silent, took the initiative to pick up a piece of food and put it in his bowl, saying: "Second brother said, we are all young people, so I said what I had to say directly."

"I am not greedy for vanity and enjoy pleasure; otherwise, I couldn't have persisted in the dance troupe."

She looked at Zhao Yajun and said: "But I still want basic living conditions; if you can't meet my requirements, let's just be friends, what do you think?"

"Well, sorry, it's me..."

Zhao Yajun felt a bit sad, but smiled, showing a calm side.

Zhou Xiaoling also smiled, didn't let him finish, and said: "Actually, it's a happy thing to be liked by someone."

She looked at Wang Yajuan and said: "Right, Yajuan?"

"Refusing others is a difficult thing."

Wang Yajuan looked at Zhou Xiaoling apologetically and nodded, saying: "I think Zhao Yajun is quite good."

"Of course, I've already seen it."

Zhou Xiaoling understood Wang Yajuan's apology, didn't care, smiled, and looked at Zhao Yajun, saying: "Refusing others is difficult, refusing a good person is even more difficult."

"You are quite good, at least you are a person who treats feelings seriously."

"Thank you—"

Zhao Yajun smiled regretfully, ate the food in the bowl, it was a bit bitter, but it was definitely not the chef's fault.

"Quite sorry, but we know each other, let's be friends in the future."

Zhou Xiaoling nodded with a smile, and looked at Li Xuewu, saying: "Second brother, I won't be polite with you for this meal."

Seeing Li Xuewu nod, she said again: "If he dares to say he can be taken care of by you, I really want to try with him."

"Everyone has their own aspirations, it cannot be forced."

Li Xuewu patted Zhao Yajun on the back with a smile, looking at the kid's stunned gaze, and said to Zhou Xiaoling: "It doesn't matter, men should be self-reliant; care is not something you say, it depends on your own efforts."

"Got it, second brother—"

Zhao Yajun raised his head, looked at his second brother and grinned, saying: "Don't tell my sister about today's matter."

"Well, got it, won't tell."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and teased him: "But you have to guarantee not to cry when you go back; I cried the first time I was rejected."

"When did that happen? Why don't I know?"

Wang Yajuan saw the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, so she took Li Xuewu's words and asked: "Share your emotional experience?"

"You believe what second brother says?"

Zhou Xiaoling covered her mouth and smiled: "Li Xue told me that second brother's ex-partners could form a dance troupe."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, actually I'm very simple."

Li Xuewu explained seriously: "I didn't date anyone before I got married." ===== CHAPTER 1125 =====
