Thousand Willows

Liu Minhui argued with his mother Qin Zhenzhu for a long time, and found that no matter what he could do to change his mother's old ideas, he was angry and helpless at the moment, so he grabbed his coat and went out.

"Why are you going?" Qin Zhenzhu asked.

"Go to the Tongxinyuan dating agency you mentioned." Liu Minhui replied angrily.

"Liu Minhui!" Qin Zhenzhu was furious, but Liu Minhui left without looking back.

Liu Minhui searched for the address on his mobile phone, and found that there were 39 dating agencies with the same name in H City, and he located one of them according to the address mentioned by netizens on the Internet.

"What a coincidence, it's near Zhao Lei's company!" Liu Minhui looked at the location on the map and thought to himself, "I don't know how Zhao Lei is doing, why don't we just say hello." After all, Zhao Lei is a person who doesn't post much on Moments. , it is really not easy to rape his life.

Liu Minhui dialed Zhao Lei's phone number, and after exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Lei invited Liu Minhui to their company for a sit-down. Their company will soon have a Spring Festival holiday, but today is still a working day, and the employees still have to go to work as usual.

"Mr. Zhao, your company is really hardworking. I can see that basically all employees are working hard!" Liu Minhui started to talk when he entered Zhao Lei's office. Man, no one is there!"

"You have already said that your company is on holiday today, and you still expect other employees to come to work. Isn't that contradictory?" Zhao Lei laughed.

"Hey, by the way, where's your assistant Ah Hei?" Liu Minhui asked.

"He just went out to work today, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is a good time for some of our businesses to make money." Zhao Lei said.

"Haha, are you talking about your company's business of 'persuading juniors to quit'?" Liu Minhui joked.

"Yeah, the more the holidays, the more lonely people feel, and this is the best time to give them a hard blow." Zhao Lei started making tea while chatting with Liu Minhui.

"Hey, by the way, what about the doctor you went to before?" Liu Minhui mentioned that Zhao Lei went around looking for a famous doctor. He vaguely remembered that Zhao Lei asked people around to help his vegetable friend.

When Zhao Lei heard this, his expression was a little unhappy, and he said in a low voice, "The doctor said that the situation is complicated, and we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

Liu Minhui hurriedly comforted: "The doctor is right, you have already done a lot, and the rest may depend on her life."

Zhao Lei smiled wryly and said: "When I was young, I never believed in fate, I always felt that 'my fate is up to me', but now, I guess I am getting older, and I start to feel that there are some things that people really can't do anything about, maybe there really is. Some kind of power is in control, probably this power is 'fate'."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, let's stop discussing such mysterious topics." Liu Minhui saw Zhao Lei began to express emotion, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Lei, and said with a smirk, "By the way, there just happens to be a matchmaker near your company." So, would you like to go around with me and see if you can resolve your marriage before the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Lei frowned, and said, "My parents are too lazy to urge the marriage now, why do you want to join in the fun?"

Knowing that Zhao Lei was particularly disgusted with the topic of marriage, Liu Minhui thought that he might have lost trust in marriage by doing this "little three persuasion", so he said, "Just kidding, don't you think I'm not married yet? You have the right to dictate Mr. Zhao's private life!"

Zhao Lei raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Liu Minhui went on to say: "I want to go, but I feel a bit embarrassed to go alone. I would like to ask you to accompany me to check it out for me."

"Don't be kidding. With your current conditions, you still worry about not being able to find a wife? There is no need to go to a dating agency. You just need to tell your mother and girls will line up to go on a blind date with you." Zhao Lei laughed. , "Don't tell me that you are afraid that those women are looking at your money, not your people, so you want to play a role-playing game to test other people's sincerity?"

There was a small light in Liu Minhui's eyes. He came to Zhao Lei this time. On the one hand, he hadn't seen Zhao Lei for a long time. His mother's attitude towards homosexual love, he originally thought that his mother was more open-minded, and it would be good to clarify with his mother when the time comes, but now it seems that that way is no longer feasible, and there is only one way to open up—— Zhao Lei is the best candidate for a backup. First of all, Zhao Lei can be regarded as a distant relative of their family, but no matter how far away, he is still a relative; secondly, Zhao Lei can be regarded as a model of self-reliance and successful career. People in the family think highly of him. Gao, more or less has the right to speak; again, Zhao Lei is not married yet. According to his age, if he is not married, he can more or less resist the prejudice of the world, and he will not be so rigid.

"Mr. Zhao, I know that this little trick of mine is vulnerable to you. However, there is something I want to tell you, and I hope you can give me some pointers." Liu Minhui said, his tone became serious.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Lei asked, and handed Liu Minhui a cup of tea.

Jiang Yizhong on the other side also picked up the coffee cup and drank the coffee in the cup.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Why are you drinking in such a hurry, look, you're choking." Ge Xiaofei handed over the tissue.

Jiang Yizhong took the tissue paper and wiped his mouth, then looked at Ge Xiaofei with some anxiety.

Ge Xiaofei smiled and said: "It can't be such a coincidence, I really hit it?" Seeing Jiang Yizhong's face flushed, Ge Xiaofei suddenly understood, and said: "I was just guessing, so you are really together. Already?!"

Jiang Yizhong didn't dare to look up immediately, and looked down at the coffee stains at the bottom of the empty coffee cup.

"When I was in college, I felt that the way he looked at you was not right. At that time, I was innocent and thought he was jealous of you. Now it seems that he liked you at that time." Ge Xiaofei said to himself, "I went to them after graduation. At the company interview, it was Liu Minhui who talked with me at the time. I thought he was interested in me at the time. Now that I think about it, he just wanted to know your information from me. I'm just not interested. It's because his interest has always been on you, so he turned a blind eye to the women around him." Ge Xiaofei said with a sneer, "Hehe, I thought I was so attractive at the time... ..."

"I hope you can keep this matter secret..." Jiang Yizhong finally couldn't help but said, "I don't want others to know, after all, I will be separated from him sooner or later. After all, this is not something the world can tolerate."

Ge Xiaofei put his finger on his lips and made a gesture of 'no sound', and winked at Jiang Yizhong.

"I understand." Ge Xiaofei said with a smile, "But this is not a bad thing for me. I am a greedy and bad woman. If you marry other women, I will inevitably feel sad. But the situation is different now ..." As she spoke, her cell phone rang, and Ge Xiaofei winked at Jiang Yizhong and answered the phone. After dealing with it, she said to Jiang Yizhong: "My boyfriend urged me to go back. You save my cell phone number. I am afraid there will be many opportunities for us to contact in the future. After the new year, I will go to your place to investigate and see if I can put some business in your company, but..." Ge Xiaofei smiled ambiguously, "You also know Let's do the purchasing rules..."

"I understand. At that time, someone will talk to you about kickbacks." Jiang Yizhong finally calmed down, and his face gradually returned to normal.

"Won't you see me off?" Ge Xiaofei got up and smiled.

Liu Minhui has already told Zhao Lei about his current situation.

"I just want to go to that dating agency to see if he is..." Liu Minhui was a little speechless. Although he believed that Jiang Yizhong would not go to another man behind his back, he was still a little uneasy. Mood is like a fish hanging from the eaves, and there is always a cat squatting under the fish.

"Let's go." Zhao Lei got up and picked up his coat.

"Where?"

"The dating agency you mentioned, I just want to go and see if I can develop some new clients." Zhao Lei said as he opened the door of the office.

This Tongxinyuan dating agency is indeed not far from Zhao Lei's company. It takes about ten minutes to walk, and it is in the corner of a small street opposite the small park.

Opposite the small park is an old residential area. The facade houses along the street and the multi-storey residential buildings are connected together in an L-shape. The walls of the residential buildings are still paved with red fine gravel. With a history of more than 20 years, this kind of house looks very old in this ever-changing H city.There are sparse street trees planted in front of a row of facade houses, but in winter, the leaves have already fallen off, leaving only the branches facing the sky, standing stubbornly.Most of the shops are various snack and breakfast grocery stores, and there are bright red storefronts on the transparent glass doors, but the thick curtains cover many mottled traces.In addition to the residents of the community, there are also white-collar workers in the nearby office buildings who patronize these snack bars. Compared with the fast food restaurants below the office buildings, the food here is much more cost-effective.The Tongxinyuan dating agency was in a doorway at the corner of the street, and there was only a billboard with red letters on a white background. Of course, the white background had already turned yellow, while the red had begun to turn pale.

Liu Minhui and Zhao Lei pushed the door and walked in. The air conditioner was turned on inside, and it was very warm, but as soon as they entered, they felt an unpleasant smell—like the smell that people have covered for a long time.

The layout inside is also full of the atmosphere of the [-]s. The floor is covered with patterned old tiles, and some places even have red bricks worn out. On the top is a ceiling lamp, which It was a little dark, as if a lot of dust and dead insects had accumulated in the lampshade.There is also a waistline on the wall, the lower part of the waistline is painted with light green paint, and a few mirrors are pasted above the waistline, and some red pennants with yellow tassels are hung between the mirrors, saying "reliable service, excellent reputation" , "The matchmaker leads the way, the old man leads the way", "There is true love in the world, and we send true love with one heart", etc., but the mirror is not very clean.There were two long stools with backrests against the wall. The dark brown paint on the stools had also faded a lot, and the stools were covered with sponge cushions wrapped in pinstriped cotton cloth.Next to the stool are two tall table tables, on which are placed two pots of mountain rock bonsai.There is a bar-like table near the back of the room. On the table is a small computer monitor and stacks of thick books. A middle-aged man is sitting behind the table. He is playing on the computer screen. For games, listen to the game background music from the small red speaker next to the screen, like a poker game of Fighting the Landlords.On the other side, an old cabinet-type air conditioner hummed continuously in the other corner, sending out warm air.There is a yellow wooden door between the air conditioner and the bar. A half curtain is hung, and the door is half closed. There seems to be a staircase leading to the second floor behind the door.

"Boss, can you introduce someone here?" Liu Minhui asked when he came to the bar where the middle-aged man was.
