Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âThis is the case, President Hua. Zhitao, he has already met your daughter, Jiajia, in university, and he has always been admiring JiajiaâŠâ said w.a.n.g Xifan.
âReally? Thatâs a good thing. Whatâs hard to say about it?â President Hua happily said.
âBut I heard Zhitao say that Jiajia seems to have a little boyfriend in university. I think his name is Yang Ming?â asked w.a.n.g Xifan.
â Hehe , that Yang Ming you mentioned, he isnât suitable with Jiajia. I have already talked to him. He also said that he wonât find Jiajia anymore. You can rest a.s.sured! I can guarantee that nothing can go wrongâŠâ When President Hua heard about the matter with Yang Ming, she quickly explained it. Then, she patted her chest to ensure that everything would be fine.
âThatâs good. Thatâs good!â w.a.n.g Xifan said, âThen I am relieved!â
âNo problem. Iâm meeting Jiajia in a while. Iâll speak to her and then call you again.â President Hua said.
âThen I will wait for the good news.â w.a.n.g Xifan nodded and replied.
After hanging up the phone, w.a.n.g Xifan smiled and said to w.a.n.g Zhitao, âAlright, this time, President Hua said that she had already talked to Yang Ming. Yang Ming wonât interfere with these things anymore.â
âThat would be the best!â w.a.n.g Zhitao nodded happily. âDad, you are too great!â
â Hehe , this child!â w.a.n.g Xifan shook his head. âYes, Zhitao, are you on winter break? Come to the company starting tomorrow. You need to learn about the companyâs management operations from your Uncle Huang Youcai and Uncle Guo Jianchao. You will take over sooner or later.â
âThis is not urgent, right? Iâm only a freshmanâŠâ What w.a.n.g Zhitao thought was, If I really have a relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Jiajia, then I will be dating regularly. If I go to the company, there wonât be much private time for me.
âWhy is it not urgent? Whatâs wrong with being a freshman? Dad is old. I want to retire, so youâll have to start to take over the companyâs affairs!â w.a.n.g Xifan said seriously, âThis is the case!â
âBut, Dad, didnât you just introduce me to a girlfriendâŠâ w.a.n.g Zhitao said with some stuttering.
âYou kid!â w.a.n.g Xifan was very angry. âDonât be immersed in love. You can do it anything time, right? Isnât there still time at night? Why do you insist on dating during the day? You really make me mad! President Hua is also a person with an ident.i.ty. You are doing nothing all day. How can she give her daughter to you?â
â En , dad youâre rightâŠâ w.a.n.g Zhitao was shocked and quickly nodded. Thatâs right. Zhou Jiajia isnât an ordinary person. If Iâm still doing nothing, itâs impossible for her to fall in love with me!
âItâs great that you understand.â w.a.n.g Xifan nodded. âSon, your journey is still long. Dadâs health condition isnât good. Maybe I would be dead someday. You need to be independent as soon as possible!â
w.a.n.g Xifan didnât say that he was smuggling, so instead, he looked for a different reason and said that he was in poor health.
âDad, what are you talking about? How old are you now? This body is still strong. Why did you mention this suddenly?â w.a.n.g Zhitao looked at his father with a weird look.
â Hehe , I just said this casually. Iâm urging you to be independent!â w.a.n.g Xifan said with a smile, âNothing, donât worry about it. Your father is tired and wants to retire.â
âThatâs good, Dad. I will learn about the companyâs affairs as soon as possible so I can take over.â w.a.n.g Zhitao nodded.
âThis is rightâŠâ w.a.n.g Xifan nodded kindly and sighed in his heart.
In the evening, w.a.n.g Xifan received a call from President Hua. She made an appointment with him and w.a.n.g Zhitao at the Persia restaurant to have a meal tomorrow. She would also go with her daughter.
w.a.n.g Xifan naturally agreed with it, and w.a.n.g Zhitao also grinned from ear to ear.
On the other side, Zhou Jiajia was watching her mother, President Hua, angrily.
âMom, how can you do this? Why did you look for Yang Ming?â Zhou Jiajia was so angry that she was shakingâŠ
âWhatâs wrong in looking for him?â Mother Zhou said with a look of disdain, âThat Yang Ming is simply a coward who dares not to admit it. When I asked about the matter between him and you, he actually didnât admit it. You are still speaking about this kind of person?â
âMom! I have said that Yang Ming and I are just good friends. How can you simply interfere?â Zhou Jiajia said hurriedly.
âGood friend? Last time you told me different things, right?â Mother Zhou said reluctantly, âOkay, little girl, you donât think about it. I will not agree on the matter between you and Yang Ming! You canât have a relations.h.i.+p with him unless I am dead!â
âMom, youâŠâ Zhou Jiajiaâs tears couldnât help but gush out. She ran back to her room covering her face.
âThis child, I will call your dad and ask him to talk to you!â Mother Zhou sighed and picked up the phone.
It didnât take long for Zhou Jiajia to receive an overseas call from her father. To tell the truth, Zhou Jiajia was most afraid of her father. After she was reprimanded by her father, although she was feeling uncomfortable, she was still afraid to raise any objections. She had to take on this grievance.
Finally, Father Zhou instructed Zhou Jiajia to listen to her motherâs words. Zhou Jiajia had to reluctantly agree.
However, it was just a promise. Would the stubborn Zhou Jiajia really be convinced by her parents and follow the path they directed? Can the love of young people be stopped if you told them to stop?
At noon, the students of the winter camp including Yang Ming embarked on their return journey. Those little gangsters didnât come to create trouble again. It was a relief to Yu Yi and the rest. The journey back was smooth and there was no change.
âWhere should we go to eat?â Zhang Bing drove the car, carrying Zhao Sisi, Yang Ming, and Chen Mengyan.
âLetâs have Western food?â Zhao Sisi proposed, âThis morning, I saw a few foreigners eating steaks. Iâm craving it.â
âYang Ming, what about you?â Zhang Bing naturally had to take into account Yang Mingâs feelings.
âMengyan, are you okay to eat Western food?â Yang Ming was fine with it, so he just needed to solicit Chen Mengyanâs opinion.
âYeah, since Sisi wants to eat then letâs go together.â Chen Mengyan was an easy-going person in front of her friends. Since Zhao Sisi wanted to eat it, she was fine with it too.
Regarding Western food, Chen Mengyan didnât especially like or dislike it.
âWell, letâs go to Persia to eat. I have a VIP card here. You can get a discount.â As Zhang Bing said this, he turned the car and headed in the other direction.
The Persia Restaurant was a large Western food chain. It was one of the best in Song Jiang. The taste wasnât bad. Although Yang Ming had never been to it, he had heard that the environment there was good and the taste of the dishes was very authentic.
The car turned to the Persia Restaurant and parked in the parking lot. Yang Ming and the others entered the Western restaurant.
Most of the foreign hotel designs didnât have any private rooms, so there were no separate private rooms in the Persia Restaurant except for the booths. But it didnât matter. It didnât affect the popularity of the business here.
They came to a booth under the guidance of the waiter, and then Zhang Bing began to order.
Yang Ming didnât eat here before, but he still knew about the Russian dishes on the menu. Once Zhang Bing was finished, Yang Ming also ordered a few dishes.
âYang Ming⊠Look there. Isnât that the stupid w.a.n.g Zhitao?â After the waiter left, Zhang Bing pointed to Yang Mingâs back and spoke quietly.
â Oh ?â Yang Ming looked back and saw that w.a.n.g Zhitao was sitting in a booth not far behind him. What surprised Yang Ming was that Zhou Jiajia was sitting next to him.
Yang Ming snorted coldly. I havenât seen you for a few days. Zhou Jiajia, this little bad girl, actually went with w.a.n.g Zhitao! This made Yang Ming felt bad about Zhou Jiajia. There are so many options, and yet you chose w.a.n.g Zhitao instead?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldnât help but feel unpleasant. These two people met together. Are they planning to frame me? I might be right!
Zhou Jiajia was forced by her mother today, but her mother didnât tell her that it was a blind date. She only said that she had a meal with an old friend. Zhou Jiajiaâs mood wasnât good, but Mother Zhou called Father Zhou to threaten Zhou Jiajia again. Zhou Jiajia had no choice but to follow.
As a result, she found out that the old friend that her mother mentioned was actually w.a.n.g Zhitao and his father. She couldnât help but be stunned. As she was feeling strange, she was even dumbfounded after hearing the conversations of her mother and w.a.n.g Xifan.
However, Zhou Jiajia gradually understood what was going on after she listened more! Iâm sure that my mother is arranging a blind date for me! But since Iâm here, I canât just leave, right?
She had to sit there uncomfortably and listened to her mother praising w.a.n.g Zhitao, while w.a.n.g Xifan praised Zhou Jiajia. However, just as Zhou Jiajia was irritated by it, she suddenly sensed a familiar eye looking toward her.
Zhou Jiajia looked up curiously and it just happened to connect with Yang Mingâs gaze! Zhou Jiajia was shocked and suddenly felt overwhelmedâŠ
