Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Uncle Huang, whose kid is this you're bringing? She's so pretty. Does she have a partner? If not, please introduce her to someone for my grandson." A spirited old man who was about the same age as Uncle Huang and who looked like a company-level cadre from the look of his military uniform, said to Huang Guohui with a smile.

"Old Wang, what are you thinking about? She already has a partner, don't worry about her. Your grandson should go to the art troupe and find someone!"

Three of them became four and lined up at the window to get their meals. After getting their meals, they found a seat and sat down, eating and chatting.

"Old Huang, you are so mean. Those people in the art troupe are so arrogant. How could they look down on my boy?" Old Wang looked helpless. Lushly listening to the two of them, he couldn't tell the difference between Old Wang and Old Huang. He wanted to laugh, but he could only lower his head and hold back his laughter.

"Old Wang, is it that he is too ambitious, or is it that your boy is too picky? I heard that your Wang Jiefang said he wanted to find a wife who is prettier than the most beautiful girl in the art troupe."

"No, he just said that because he was offended! Oh, it's so frustrating. You said he's not young anymore, and your sister-in-law keeps nagging me every day, and she's also looking for girls from the neighboring families in the family compound to look for her son. Not only does she look for girls herself, but she also insists that I join as well. Oh, I'm in the army every day, and there are monks all around me, where can I introduce him to someone?"

"I didn't come to the art troupe to perform. I thought the girl was just right. I talked to their leader about it and didn't force them. Who knew that the leader would force the girl to go on a blind date? This led to a series of ridiculous incidents. What the hell is going on?"

"Haha, then why are you trying to introduce my niece to him?" Upon hearing this, Captain Huang felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. His wife at home complained about him, and his comrades in the team also laughed at him.

"My boy Wang Jiefang was provoked and threatened to find someone prettier. Your niece is really beautiful, much prettier than that bunch of flowers. I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it. Don't mind it, don't mind it." Captain Huang explained while looking at Yu Congcong.

"Haha, we don't mind. My niece has been experiencing this kind of thing since she was a child. She's used to it." Huang Guohui said proudly.

Captain Wang looked at Yu Congcong's face and nodded to show his understanding.

"Haha, hahaha." Huang Guohui laughed happily.

The four of them finished their lunch amidst laughter and chatter.

"Old Huang, has your son been transferred back to the Huainan Military Region? I remember meeting him there when I was delivering supplies last time."

"Yeah, he just got transferred back. What? Do you need his help with something?"

"Well, ask him to help find out about someone. It doesn't have to involve confidential information. Just find out the situation."

"Oh, sure."

"Congcong, go back to Uncle Huang's office. I'll go to Captain Wang's office."

"Okay." Yu Congcong and Zhang Yun understood that they were going to inquire about He Hongjun, and they walked towards Huang Guohui's office obediently.

"Brother Zhang Yun, do you think He Hongjun looked down on Sister Rubao from the beginning, or did he meet someone better?" Yu Congcong had nothing to do, so she chatted with Zhang Yun. "Who knows? We'll know in a moment." Zhang Yun was not interested in this matter, and just responded to Yu Congcong casually. "Well, let's not talk about her, let's talk about you."

"What can I talk about?" Zhang Yun was a little nervous, afraid that Yu Congcong would notice his feelings for her. "How can there be nothing to talk about? Look, other people's children are getting older, and their parents will worry about their lifelong affairs. You don't have any direct elders, and you don't have many friends. Tiezhu and I grew up together. We have to think about your lifelong affairs. What do you want in your other half?" Yu Congcong discussed with Zhang Yun like a caring elder sister.

Zhang Yun was stunned after hearing this, and he hadn't reacted yet, but he was also relieved. "Congcong, I'm older than you, and I will take care of your life-long affairs. You worry too much."

"Why so many? I know you're older, but you still don't have a partner. You don't care either. I heard that Sister Fu Yu introduced you to someone, but you refused. You even said you have someone you like. You're either delivering goods or running orders all day long. How can you find someone you like? Isn't this just an excuse?"

"Although you don't like the girl from the Lin family, you shouldn't say that you have someone you like. Now that you've said that, who will introduce a girl to you?"

"Congcong, your lifelong affairs should be left to fate. Brother will handle it properly."

"Let it be, no one introduces me, let it be." Yu Congcong muttered to himself: This is not the 21st century where you can still fall in love freely. Here, couples can hold hands casually but have to prove that they are husband and wife.

"When you meet someone you love, it's fate."

The two returned to Huang Guohui's office to discuss this topic.

Huang Guohui and Captain Wang went to the Communications Department together to call Wang Jiefang, and then returned to Captain Wang's office to discuss work and wait for news.

Wang Jiefang answered his father's call and was a little puzzled as to why his father was asking about He Hongjun. This man has been a big name lately and he was said to have saved the daughter of Captain Zheng. He didn't know what the specific matter was, so he had to find out.

Wang Jiefang didn't need to ask specifically. He went to the family compound and knew everything from the gossip of the aunties and grandmas.

It turned out that He Hongjun saved the daughter of Captain Zheng from human traffickers during his third month of leave in the army. Since then, he has frequently visited Captain Zheng's home and regarded himself as the lifesaver of Captain Zheng's daughter in the army. He often sent Captain Zheng's daughter to work and even said that he was worried that she would be targeted by human traffickers again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that He Hongjun wanted to get close to Captain Zheng's family. Recently, it was reported that Captain Zheng's daughter was dating him and that she would file a marriage report after three years as a recruit.

Wang Jiefang told his father all of this, and Huang Guohui listened on the side. He was a little annoyed, how could they recruit such a person into the army. Huang Guohui did not delay, and returned to the office to tell Yu Congcong and others everything he had found out.

After listening to this, Yu Congcong did not stay for long. The two of them rode their bicycles back to the village.

When I returned to the village, the sky was as dark as ink. I couldn't see my hand in front of me. There was no moon in the sky, not even the shadow of a star could be seen.

"Brother Zhang Yun, it looks like it's going to rain. You can go back first. You don't have to take me home. Our village is quite safe."

"I'll take you home first. It won't take a little while longer." Zhang Yun replied.

Yu Congcong looked at the darkness ahead and said nothing more, because if they chatted for a few more words they would be home soon.

"Congcong, is that you?" All the doors of the house were closed and grandma was sitting in the yard waiting.

"Yes."

Hearing the sound of grandma getting up and walking towards the door, Yu Congcong hurriedly responded.

"Brother Zhang Yun, go back quickly. It's going to rain soon."

"Okay." Seeing the door open, Zhang Yun got on his bike and left.

When Zhang Yun returned home, before his bicycle had even stopped, a heavy downpour began to pour down.
