"Not married and still single, but she's about my age so it means she's a few years older than you," Xia Zhe replied honestly.
"What! She's the same age as you! She looks like she's the same age as Sister-in-law. How can she be around your age?" Zhao Wu said in shock.
Xia Zhe tapped Zhao Wu's head fiercely and said, "Are you saying that I'm old? Let me tell you, she's the director of a factory in the capital and is very proficient in the arts. If you want to woo her, you'd better take a good look at yourself first and then think twice! You only know how to muddle along in the army!"
"That doesn't matter. I like her personality. I haven't even tried wooing her, so how do you know that I can't succeed? I just don't want to listen to my father. If I work hard, I can also make a name for myself!" Zhao Wu said confidently.
Sometimes, Xia Zhe really admired Zhao Wu's confidence. He did not know where Zhao Wu could have this level of confidence. While he was still lost in his thoughts, Zhao Wu rushed up to Qian'e.
"h.e.l.lo comrade, my name is Zhao Wu!" Zhao Wu extended his hand and said in a straightforward manner.
Qian'e shook hands with Zhao Wu politely and said, "h.e.l.lo, my name is Qian'e. I'm Qiao Mei's friend."
"Are you seeing anyone? I want to date you!" Zhao Wu shouted loudly.
Qiao Mei was so shocked and opened her eyes so wide that her eyeb.a.l.l.s almost fell out. On the other hand, Qian'e did not think that Zhao Wu was being rude. Instead, she felt that he was very cute and straightforward.
She hated people who beat around the bush the most, no matter if it was men or women. She did not like people like Han Chen, who treaded carefully and was full of lies.
"I'm not seeing anyone and I don't intend to. I don't want to get married either. You don't even know me well, so why do you want to date me?" Qian'e asked with a smile.
"It's not that I don't know you well! It's just that I don't have the opportunity yet! I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you better! I believe that with such an opportunity! I'll definitely be able to grasp it firmly!" Zhao Wu said as he straightened his back.
Zhao Wu spoke as if he was reporting to his superiors about his ambitions for the future. Qiao Mei and Qian'e looked at each other. Qian'e still did not dare to open up to anyone. Perhaps Zhao Wu was just young and feeling curious about her. She still could not trust others easily.
"You should think carefully before you speak. I'm not as good as you think." Qian'e was not angry. She just replied calmly and then pulled Qiao Mei away.
Zhao Wu looked at the departing Qian'e and shouted, "I'll persevere! Wait for me! I'll go and look for you!"
Xia Zhe quietly gave Zhao Wu a thumbs up. Such courage was truly uncommon. Qiao Mei was still immersed in the shock from just now. She could definitely imagine Zhao Wu doing such a shocking thing, but it was still too sudden.
"What are you thinking about?" Qian'e asked.
"I'm just wondering if Zhao Wu woke up on the wrong side of the bed and why he would say such things," Qiao Mei said.
"But he does look quite cute. I don't really hate people who are so brave and forthright," Qian'e said with a smile.
Qiao Mei asked excitedly, "Do you like him?"
"I don't like him. I've only seen him a few times, so how can I like him? I just feel that he's different from the people I've met in the past. He's quite interesting," Qian'e said honestly.
"When you first came here, I had thought about matchmaking the two of you. I didn't expect this kid to come knocking on the door himself. It's really quite amazing. Do you want to give it some thought?" Qiao Mei asked tentatively.
"Didn't he say that he would persevere? Then let's talk about it in the future. I still have a lot of work to do! I don't have time to think about love!" Qian'e said.
On the way back, Qian'e told Qiao Mei many novel and interesting things as well as her future plans for the factory. They chatted until the two of them reached home and went to pick up the children from w.a.n.g Nuo's house.
"Thank you so much for helping me take care of the children for a few days," Qiao Mei said.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. I still have to thank you for taking care of my children when I was injured! We're all neighbors, so there's no need to be so polite. Go home quickly," w.a.n.g Nuo said with a smile.
