Chapter 24 Two matchmakers
? Liu Ting, this name is so familiar to Yao Yilei. A graduate of Jiangdong University and secretary of the Supervisory Office, Chen Zikun trusted her for a time, and almost all the documents and orders were passed by her. Later, for some reason, he suddenly resigned and became an assistant teacher at Jiangda University.
Now that Jian Bing mentioned this person, Yao Yilei naturally understood the reason. Chen Zikun’s offspring was not prosperous and his affairs were busy and flawless. If someone else had changed, he would marry a large group of female students and female actors would enrich the harem. The master at home was not keen on this matter. Those who were in the big house had to take the responsibility. Liu Ting was the best candidate. If she was taken into the door, she could at least hook the master’s soul back. It would be even better if she could have a man and a half woman.
"But... Liu Ting may not agree." Yao Yilei hesitated. She felt like a mirror in her heart. This girl must have Chen Zikun in her heart, but for some reasons she didn't know, there was something else here.
Jian Bing also knew very well, but said, "Don't worry about what happened before, it's been several years. I'll forget what I should have forgotten. Besides, this marriage may not be passed by Liu Ting. Didn't Liu Cunren work in the provincial government? Just look for him directly. Who can disobey the words of his parents' orders?"
Yao Yilei was a little worried: "Why do I think we are so bad? We are planning someone else's marriage here."
Jian Bing said: "It's not just a matter of taking charge, but I'll go to Jiangda to inquire first. If Liu Ting has someone else in her heart, it's okay. If she's obsessed with our master, it's going to be done."
Without further ado, Jian Bing immediately set out and went to the President's Office of Jiangda to learn about Liu Ting's recent situation. Principal Shao Qiuming was a little surprised by Mrs. Chen's sudden visit. When asked about the whole story, Jian Bing did not hide it and said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for Liu Ting, not knowing whether she was in love.
Shao Qiuming said: "Xiao Liu is very low-key in Jiangda. She was first used as an assistant teacher for a while. Later, she took the initiative to apply to work as an administrator in the library. She usually dressed up without makeup and rarely dated colleagues. But she heard that several young teachers were pursuing her, but they were all turned away, so she gave her a nickname called Bingberg Beauty."
After saying that, Principal Shao laughed: "I, as the principal, are also gossipy, madam, don't laugh."
Jian Bing said: "Care for subordinates. Principal Shao is a good principal. One day I am idle, I will also be a teaching assistant in your school."
Shao Qiuming said: "Then we're just going to make up for it, haha."
Jian Bing said: "Where can I see Liu Ting? I haven't seen her for several years. I don't know if it has changed."
Shao Qiuming said: "Mrs. Just stand at the window. The cafeteria is making meals now, and Liu Ting will definitely come."
Sure enough, when the canteen was about to close, Liu Ting came, wearing a simple cotton skirt, a white scarf, fair skin and slim figure, walking alone on the road, like a lonely swallow.
"I feel pity for you, let alone the old slave..." Jian Bing sighed.
Shao Qiuming smiled behind his back.
After implementing this matter, Jian Bing called again and called Liu Cunren from the Provincial Government Secretary Section to the mansion.
Liu Cunren was extremely nervous when he received the notice. Although he had dealt with Chairman Chen in his early years, he had never met in the past two years, nor had he been to Chairman Chen's mansion. It was a blessing or a disaster, but a disaster could not be avoided. He asked his colleagues to call his work and hurried to the Fenglin Road official residence in a rickshaw.
The gatekeeper had received an order and put Liu Cunren in directly. The two wives were waiting in the living room. When they saw Old Liu coming, they hurriedly got up to greet him, watched the seat, poured tea, asked him about his well-being, and asked him how many people in his family were, whether the salary was enough and whether the child was in school. Liu Cunren reported to the truth and said that his salary was very sufficient. His eldest daughter worked in Jiangda, and the money of the two people was enough to support the family. His life was less than that of the best, and he was still quite comfortable.
Liu Cunren was wearing a blue cotton robe today, with a tap fountain pen on his collar and a silver pocket watch chain hanging. His hair was cleanly maintained. His words and deeds were obviously from a scholarly family. Yao Yilei and Jian Bing looked at each other and felt satisfied.
Yao Yilei said: "Secretary Liu, it is actually a private matter to invite you here. Sister Jianbing and I want to help your daughter become a matchmaker."
Liu Cunren suddenly realized that he had been doing this for a long time, and said, "Thank you, both wives. But my father may not be able to make the decision. You also know that Ting'er is a college student and teaches in college. She is used to being free, no better than the daughters of those small families..."
Jian Bing giggled and said, "It's just a matchmaker, it's not an arranged marriage. Chief Liu is too worried."
Liu Cunren also felt that he was a little overreacting. In his mind, his eldest daughter was the pride of the family and was well-educated. Although she could not be as good as Xishi Diaochan, she was also beautiful and graceful. If the two wives wanted to match a fat official and let her daughter be a concubine, she would not agree even if she lost the job.
"So, I don't know which other party is?" Liu Cunren asked this question carefully and was ready to politely decline.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing looked at each other again and said in unison: "It's our Chen family."
"Chen family?" Liu Cunren was confused. Could it be that Chairman Chen and his brothers? I haven't heard of it... Suddenly, he suddenly realized that the Chen family that the wife mentioned was Chen Zikun himself. After a long time, the two ladies wanted to marry their husbands' concubines!
Even as the former provincial chairman and current central minister, Liu Cunren was unwilling to ruin his daughter's happiness. His concubine was inferior to others. His daughter was a graduate of Jiangda. How could she do this? But after all, since the other party was Chen Zikun, it would be different.
The daughter is not clear about her father's thoughts. Liu Ting has long liked Chairman Chen, but she is not afraid to reveal her under various pressures. In the past few years, she has not pursued her in Jiangda. When facing those young talents, Liu Ting refused. She went from home to school, and never dressed up at one point. She was twenty-six years old. In general, she was just an old girl who could not get married. Liu Cunren was not in a hurry.
Seeing that Liu Cunren did not answer for a long time, Yao Yilei thought he was unwilling to do so, so she said, "Secretary Liu, aren't afraid of you laughing at you. Our sisters are not good at being strong, so we want to marry another sister for the master. We don't like others. When Liu Ting was in the office, we all liked him. Although we came in from behind, our Chen family did not have the saying of a concubine, and they were all equal..."
Jian Bing also said: "Chief Liu, our master has always had a good impression of Liu Ting, which must have made him have a special liking for him. But they are both dull and have something to hold in their hearts. A good marriage just flew away. I know clearly that they are too dull and I don't know that I think my sister and I are a couple."
After saying this, Liu Cunren had no choice but to say, "I'll discuss it with my family because my two ladies are worthy of it."
Yao Yilei said: "No need to delay, the housekeeper, prepare a car to take Section Chief Liu back."
Jian Bing said: "I have prepared a pack of clothes and snacks for the children here, and take them back together."
Liu Cunren thanked him, stood up and said goodbye, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "May I ask, this matter is what Minister Chen means, or..."
Yao Yilei smiled and said, "Would we dare to be this media without his approval?"
...
Liu Cunren returned home and told his wife about this. Unexpectedly, his wife immediately agreed.
"Master, come with me." My wife led Liu Cunren to the west wing where her eldest daughter lives and opened the door lock with the key.
"Where did you get the key?" Liu Cunren said frantically.
"Don't worry about this." The wife pushed the door and walked to her daughter's desk, opened the drawer, and found a large stack of newspaper clippings, all about Chen Zikun's reports.
Liu Cunren was shocked and only knew that his daughter had a good impression of Minister Chen, but she didn't expect that she was obsessed with it.
My wife said, "I have been missing you for several years. You, the father, don't know. Ting'er should marry into a wealthy family, but she doesn't want to. It's not a solution to waste so much. Since the Chen family has mentioned it, don't be pretentious. Let's agree quickly and get the marriage done as soon as possible, so that we can wait to hold our grandson."
Liu Cunren was still a little hesitant.
"What else do you think? Chairman Chen is young and promising, has a good appearance, and is a member of the central government. He is worthy of our daughter." His wife is much more decisive than him.
Liu Cunren shook his head: "Let's talk about it when Ting'er comes home."
It was only 6:30 in the evening that Liu Ting came back from get off work. As soon as she entered the house, she got into her room. Liu's mother called her to have a meal and replied that she had eaten at school.
Liu's mother took action and pulled her daughter to the main hall. Liu Cunren drove out all the children and said seriously: "Ting'er, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family."
Liu Ting had a blank expression on her face: "I will never get married in my life."
Liu's mother was anxious: "Daughter, you are twenty-six years old and can't live at home for the rest of your life. Now there is a family, which is not bad. My mother thinks it's quite suitable..."
"I will never get married even if I die. If you force me, I will die for you to show you." Liu Ting, who is usually very gentle, was extremely tough and his voice became sharp.
A few eyes lay down on the crack in the door, and the younger brother and sister were peeking.
Liu Cunren coughed dryly and said, "Ting'er, you know this family, and it's Minister Chen."
Liu Ting opened her eyes wide and looked shocked.
Liu's mother hit the railway while the hot: "Chairman Chen was in his thirties and was very honest. You would not suffer any loss when you marry. We are not a kiln sister. We are the kind of actor who has no ink in her belly and just rely on foxes to coax men. My Ting'er is a top student in Jiangda and has also been a secretary. After entering the family, she is a virtuous assistant. No one can compare to you."
Liu Ting lowered her head and said nothing.
Liu Cunren knew that his daughter had thin skin and had reacted so fiercely just now. Now he suddenly agreed to be embarrassed and said, "Ting'er, you should also consider it for your parents and sisters. The younger brother and sister are getting older and older, and the house is not enough to live in. You get married early. Parents have a wish. Besides, both wives in Minister Chen's family are very virtuous. This marriage was mentioned by the two wives on their own initiative."
Liu Ting suddenly raised her head and said, "Does Chen Zikun know?"
