"I've already taken out this good wine that I've kept for many years. I'm going all out today!”
"Come, Zhongyi, sit over there. You'll be in the way of Chief Gu later.”
Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning had already made ample preparations and were full of expectations for tonight's blind date banquet. In addition to matchmaking Xu Zhongyi and Gu Yufei, who were unmarried, they also hoped to take this opportunity to enhance the friendship between the two sides and firmly tie Xu Zhongyi to their warships.
At that time, other than Young Master Qi, the entire Northeast Patrol Inspectorate would be like an iron plate, impregnable!
Wouldn't he be able to rest easy in his money-making career?
Xu Zhongyi naturally understood the stakes. He leaned back tactically and complained with a negative attitude,"Sister, brother-in-law, I think you're just a blind man lighting a candle in vain. Gu Yufei was born in a prestigious family. Would she be interested in a peasant like him?”
"Moreover, back then at the headquarters in Mountain City, everyone knew that I was chasing after him. In the end, the saliva that he spat on me hasn't dried yet!”
Xu Zhongyi looked like a salted fish lying flat, indicating that he had no hope for tonight's blind date.
In reality, they had to avoid suspicion as much as possible. If the process was too smooth, everyone's gaze would go from matchmaking to gradually investigating. That would be greatly detrimental to Gu Yufei's second layer identity!
Yu Xiuning's attitude was quite firm. She said,"This is an order. No matter what happens tonight, you can't leave first! You haven't married, she hasn't married. At this juncture, this is a heaven-sent marriage!”
Chen Ming also echoed,"Yes, Brother, we can't be without confidence!" That was then, and that was now. The Gu family is no longer as glorious as it used to be. They are declining aristocrats, but we are still rising stars. Even the committee members praise you. Isn't it more than enough to match her?”
In the end, Yu Xiuning said meaningfully,"Zhongyi, you have to believe in your sister's eyes. They're yours.”
Not long after, the banquet was ready and Gu Yufei arrived on time.
Xu Zhongyi even took a glance to make sure that the unlucky Young Master Qi did not come with him. He then heaved a sigh of relief. If this guy was here, they would not be able to have dinner tonight.
Gu Yufei also dressed up before sitting down gracefully. Her military uniform was appropriate, and her most fashionable curly hair fell on her shoulders. Her cheeks were as white as jade, and she was beautiful.
This temperament of a young lady from a noble family was indeed worthy of being the commander's flower!
"I'm sorry, Sis. I'm late.”
"We've just finished preparing. His sister was so beautiful, just like a beauty who had come out for a blind date!”Yu Xiuning's words had a double meaning and instantly filled the atmosphere of the blind date.
Xu Zhongyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How did you know that she was here for a blind date?
Who would wear a military uniform to a blind date?
After taking a seat, Yu Xiuning specially arranged for him to sit next to Xu Zhongyi. Then, Chen Ming and his wife made peace in the open and in the dark, which made the atmosphere quite charming, as if it was only separated by a layer of window paper.
After that, Xu Zhongyi did not continue to lie down. He began to test Gu Yufei's strength. He took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said,"Come, Yufei, let me toast you. We two old colleagues meet again. Other than being pleasantly surprised, take care of each other in the future!”
Gu Yufei also raised her cup with a smile and said,"Deputy Commissioner Xu, what are you talking about? This little girl is young and has just arrived. If she has offended you in any way, please forgive her!”
The two of them toasted each other. It seemed like the atmosphere was very good, but in fact, they were saying all sorts of polite words. This made the onlookers, Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning, extremely anxious.
Then, they began to assist.
Yu Xiuning placed a hand on Xu Zhongyi's shoulder and said to him,"Zhongyi, I know you have the ability, but in this era, this alone is not enough. You need a backer to be able to have a smooth journey in the officialdom in the future!”
"Your brother-in-law and I can't help you with this. We still have to rely on Miss Gu!”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Then, Yu Xiuning held Gu Yufei's arm with her other hand and said softly,"It's like no matter how old you are or how big your connections are, it's still difficult for you to move an inch without money. Am I right, sister?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Gu Yufei was not stupid. She instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Yu Xiuning's words. She was indeed trying to matchmake her and Xu Zhongyi.
If it was in the past, she would definitely reject it without thinking. After all, no matter how declining a noble was, she was still a daughter of a noble family. How could she be willing to give herself to a mere noob?
However, Xu Zhongyi was no longer the waiter he used to be. He seemed to have been reborn. He was a completely new person. He was talented and capable. Even the committee member and Boss Dai praised him!
Now, he had started from scratch and single-handedly built Xu Bancheng into the current Fengtian commander, the God of Wealth.
I heard that Jinling Finance Headquarters wanted to poach people, but Boss Dai rejected them. Why? It was all because the fertile water should not flow into the fields of outsiders! He, Xu Zhongyi, was the Commander's man in life and the Commander's ghost in death!
Of course, the most important point was pointed out by Yu Xiuning. While she was picking up the food, she suddenly revealed something shocking."Come and try this ham. I brought it from Zhongyi's hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I'm afraid that a southerner like you won't be used to northern food.”
People from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
This was one of the most awesome backgrounds among the current high-ranking officials of the party and state!
Who didn't know the two golden rules of promotion: He was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and graduated from Huangpu!
Xu Zhongyi's family background was no worse than the Gu family's!
The four great families would definitely give priority to such a person as their son-in-law, let alone the declining Gu family.
Gu Yufei could imagine how excited her parents and uncles would be when they found out about Xu Zhongyi's conditions. They would probably be the only one in the entire family who would object to the marriage, and it would be completely ineffective!
This made Beauty Gu sigh at the passage of time. She did not expect that the waiter she had looked down on back then would now become someone she almost could not reach.
Perhaps it was Xu Zhongyi's change in attitude, or perhaps it was his new temperament, but Gu Yufei had completely changed her mind.
If it wasn't for her other identity, perhaps Gu Yufei wouldn't have been able to reject Xu Zhongyi's pursuit. The matchmaking of Yu Xiuning and her husband.
"Sigh, Old Xu, you've really given me a difficult problem! If I follow you, I'll be rooted in the higher-ups of the Fruit Party. How am I going to carry out my mission and explain to my superiors?”
A hint of worry flashed across Beauty Gu's eyes.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yu Xiuning smiled and said,"As the saying goes, if fate brings us together, we will meet from thousands of miles away. If fate does not bring us together, we will not know each other." I hope the two of you are not the latter.”
However, before he could finish his sentence, Beauty Gu leaned against Xu Zhongyi's shoulder with a flushed face. She breathed out gently and said,""Zhongyi, do you think we are fated or not?”
Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning were dumbfounded by this bold action. They smiled apologetically and gave a thumbs up."Ahem…Women of the new era, women of the new era are so open-minded!!”
