Chapter 85 Don't Take It to Heart
"Aunt Gao!" Zhou Liya walked over with a surprised look on her face, carrying her bag.
Gao Jie was equally surprised: "Liya, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Liya glanced at Lin Shuyao a few times without making a sound, then smiled and said to Gao Jie, "I came to visit a student's parent. This parent works at Factory 306 and her name is Su Wan. Her son recently completed the enrollment procedures and transferred to our class, but he hasn't reported for duty yet. The school asked me to come and ask what's going on."
"Speaking of which, Auntie, this student's parent has some connection with Comrade Cheng Zheng. I heard from the leaders that it was Comrade Cheng Zheng who found someone to help with the transfer."
Gao Jie: "Su Wan? What a coincidence. Her husband was my son's comrade-in-arms, but he passed away, leaving her and her child alone. A-Zheng saw how pitiful the mother and child were and wanted to help them out as much as he could."
Zhou Liya nodded: "I see. Comrade Cheng Zheng is quite kind-hearted."
Gao Jie: "Absolutely! He may seem cold on the outside, but he's actually very warm-hearted. Don't let his aloof appearance fool you; he's quite easy to talk to. You two are still getting to know each other, so try to chat with him more often, ask him out for meals, watch movies, or something to get to know each other better."
Zhou Liya was a shrewd person. Hearing these words and looking at Lin Shuyao standing next to her, although she didn't know her identity or what her relationship with Cheng Zheng was, there was only one possibility that Gao Jie had said these words in front of her: this woman was not the blind date that Gao Jie had found for Cheng Zheng.
Or perhaps Gao Jie was dissatisfied with this woman and didn't want her to have any possibility with Cheng Zheng.
Zhou Liya feigned shyness: "Last time I went out to dinner with Comrade Cheng Zheng, I was so busy having him accompany me shopping that we missed the movie because it got too late. I'll ask him to go to the movies with me next time."
Gao Jie laughed and joked, "You young people should take the initiative, so we don't have to worry about you, haha."
"Auntie, I'll go find the student's parents now."
"Oh dear, look at my memory," Gao Jie suddenly slapped her forehead. "If you want to find Su Wan, just go find A-Zheng. Anyway, A-Zheng helped with the transfer procedures. He's in his office in the administration building now. See that tallest building over there? That's the administration building. Go in and ask, and you'll find his office."
"I see. Okay, I'll go find Comrade Cheng Zheng directly."
Zhou Liya nodded to Gao Jie, then gave Lin Shuyao a slight nod, and turned to leave.
Gao Jie gestured with her chin towards Lin Shuyao's retreating figure, then looked at her and said, "Xiao Qing, she's the blind date your brother Cheng Zheng is currently dating. She's a teacher at No. 103 Middle School. What do you think?"
Lin Shuyao's expression remained unchanged, and she even smiled: "It's fine."
Gao Jie smiled and said, "Right? I think it's good too. But in the end, it depends on how well the two people get along. If it doesn't work out, if you have any good female friends around you, you can introduce them to your brother Cheng Zheng. The sooner he gets married, the sooner I can feel at ease."
Having been subtly and overtly hinted at so many times, even a fool would understand.
But she wasn't someone anyone could easily bully. Her expression was impeccable: "Auntie, if that's what you're saying, then I do have a really great female comrade by my side."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jie became interested: "Who is it?"
Lin Shuyao's smile became even more genuine: "Comrade Su Wan. I heard from my colleagues that before she got married, she went on a blind date with the representative. Later, the representative had to go on a mission, and when he came back, she had already married another man. Who knew that after all these twists and turns, she is now single again. The representative takes good care of her, always busy with her and worrying about everything. If the two of them could get together, it would be a wonderful story."
Who did Gao Jie think she was going to talk about? It turned out to be Su Wan.
Not to mention that Su Wan is a divorcee and has a son, how is this appropriate?
And her son went on a blind date with Su Wan? How come she didn't know?
Gao Jie felt a sudden displeasure, and her face stiffened slightly: "Ah, Xiao Su is nice, but she's not a good match for your brother Cheng Zheng."
"I think the representative really likes Comrade Su Wan; maybe there's something going on between them. Aunt Gao, thank you for coming to see me today. I still have some work to finish, so I have to head back now. I'll take you shopping again next time. Shall I walk you to the factory gate?"
Gao Jie's mind was already in turmoil because of what Lin Shuyao had just said about Su Wan.
She had never imagined that her son and Su Wan could still have a chance.
She was more opposed to her son being with Su Wan than with Lin Shuyao.
No, no, her mind was a complete mess, and she had completely forgotten about Lin Shuyao.
"Xiao Qing, I suddenly remembered I have something to discuss with Liya. Here, take these fruits and snacks. I'm leaving now, you don't need to see me off."
Gao Jie hurriedly went to find Zhou Liya, thinking that since Zhou Liya was going to see Su Wan, she might as well go and give Su Wan a warning.
Watching the direction she left in, Lin Shuyao curled her lips and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
When she returned to the department, Cheng Zheng was there too, but Zhou Liya and Gao Jie were not with her. When he saw her come in, Cheng Zheng gave her a look and said, "Comrade Shen Qing, come out for a moment."
Lin Shuyao followed him outside and stood at the end of the corridor where no one was around.
The two stood facing each other.
"What does the representative want with me?" Lin Shuyao's expression and tone showed nothing unusual, but she exuded a faint sense of aloofness.
Cheng Zheng felt inexplicably uneasy: "You don't need to take anything my mother says to heart."
