Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Social Mixer

Huang Xiaoqing listened to Da Biao’s words and realized that he was on his own, without family, and had been at the garrison since he was eleven. Now, he’s still in this job.

Twenty-eight is indeed seven years older than me, quite a big difference.

I understand his profession. I’m just afraid my parents won’t agree, as I am their only young woman, and they are both teachers.

Back then, they once told me they hoped I would find someone cultured, with a safe and stable job.

This time, it was a notice from the school, and my parents didn’t want me to come over. They could probably guess that the men coming here are all successful in their careers, but certainly not young anymore. This is the first reason, and the second is they don’t like their jobs.

But I still came, as I have a kind of admiration for them.

At first glance, I

saw Da Biao, and immediately recognized him as a heroic figure.

Da Biao looked at the young woman, lost in thought, seemingly thinking about her own feelings. Probably in disagreement.

Huang Xiaoqing picked up the cup again and drank water, then put it down and looked at Da Biao.

"You’re seven years older than me. I admire your profession very much."

Da Biao was puzzled. What was this girl thinking? Besides, she’s much younger than me, right? He couldn’t guess women’s ages, thinking she’s only three or four years younger.

Huang Xiaoyu continued, "My parents are also teachers, and I don’t intend to disrespect your lack of cultural education.

My parents want me to find someone ordinary and educated. But I don’t want that; I like people like you."

Da Biao understood this girl’s meaning: she herself was willing, but her family wasn’t.

"My parents just have one child. Therefore, I wonder if you would be willing to meet my parents today?"

Da Biao understood better now. She is a filial and sensible girl.

So he nodded, "Alright. Although we only just met, I think you’re quite nice and worth it."

Huang Xiaoyu gave a shy smile, "Thank you. I will try to talk to my parents."

Da Biao nodded, "Good. I actually don’t participate in dangerous work anymore. I’m now responsible for teaching and dispatching work. The risk is greater than for ordinary people, but I won’t live life on the edge."

Huang Xiaoyu nodded with a smile.

Da Biao looked at the time; it was already nearly four o’clock, and clearly not early.

"Hold on, let me ask if we can leave now."

Since he wanted to visit the young woman’s place, it was best to go earlier. No need to wait until it’s too late.

The person in charge naturally had no objections, and they could leave now.

Da Biao returned to inform Huang Xiaoyu. By this time, Daqing and the others also came in.

The two exchanged a quiet word, "As long as you can drive away, then go ahead."

"No need."

"Just drive; can’t the rest of us find our way back?" Daqing glared at Da Biao. Of the five people who came here, Da Biao had the most hope of succeeding. Since he was going to the young woman’s house, driving was the best option.

Da Biao nodded; he understood his brother’s meaning.

The two left. This left them as three plus three young women to get to know each other.

Chengzi and Li Xiaoyu sat down after that, and Chengzi poured water for the young woman.

"I’ll introduce myself first; my name is Chengzi. I have no family, don’t know my surname, and began training at twelve. Now I’m twenty-nine.

Previously stationed at the garrison for work. Now I’m a bodyguard."

Li Xiaoyu was surprised by Chengzi’s words. "I thought you were at the garrison?"

Chengzi shook his head, "I left the garrison years ago."

"I’m Li Xiaoyu, a primary school teacher. I’m twenty-one. You look quite young; didn’t expect you’re eight years older."

Chengzi was surprised. I knew this girl was younger than me. Having been around with sis-in-law, who’s already twenty-six, I thought this girl was about the same. Didn’t expect she’s just twenty-one.

"Hehe, our age gap is quite big."

Li Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, didn’t expect we’re eight years apart."

Chengzi felt it was less likely now.

"By the way, is being a bodyguard dangerous?"

Chengzi nodded, "Of course it’s dangerous. If I don’t listen, it’s better."

"Do you protect a leader?"

Chengzi nodded, "Yes, but I can’t tell you yet."

Li Xiaoyu smiled, "I understand.

Who was your first choice?"

Chengzi smiled, "Number nineteen."

"Her? Why did you later pick me?"

"Because I remembered what the elders said, girls who love to laugh are blessed."

"You’ve got an eye."

Chengzi chuckled, thinking if it worked out, he’d be quite happy?

"What are you thinking?"

"Me? Actually, you’re quite nice; it’s just my family needs to agree. I’m the only girl at home. Both my grandparents, parents, and three brothers must agree."

Chengzi nodded, "Certainly, that’s needed."

"So, how about this? You come to my house tomorrow so they can all see you. By the way, do you have time?"

Chengzi thought of the elder brother’s and sister-in-law’s attitudes, and he definitely had time anytime.

"Yes."

"Great, come to my place tomorrow."

Chengzi nodded with a smile.

Li Xiaoyu stood up, "Well, I’ll be heading back."

Chengzi stood up as well, "I’ll escort you."

Li Xiaoyu smiled, shaking her head, "No need, my big brother is coming to pick me up."

Chengzi still escorted the young woman out.

Li Xiaoyu’s big brother was instantly recognized by Chengzi. He was a secretary at the Ministry of Construction, Xin Cheng.

Li Xincheng also recognized Chengzi; the two nodded, and Li Xiaoyu curiously watched them, "You know each other?"

Li Xincheng nodded, "We do."

Chengzi also said they knew each other.

"That’s great. Tomorrow you should come to my house; did you remember the address?"

Chengzi nodded. Didn’t expect the world was so small, still knowing family.

Watching Li Xiaoyu sitting on the bicycle’s back seat, waving with a smile. Chengzi smiled.

Perhaps this would increase the success rate? This girl was good.

The siblings reached home, Li Xiaoyu laughed, running into the living room without waiting for her brother.

She’s the only girl at home and very much cherished.

Li Xincheng put away the bicycle and followed inside, listening to his sister talking with the family.

"Xincheng, do you know who that man is?" the Li family’s elder asked.

Li Xincheng took off his coat and sat down, "Yes, that man is Su Yuanyuan’s bodyguard, but actually, if he wasn’t one, his position wouldn’t be low either."

"Su Yuanyuan? The powerful minister?" Li Xiaoyu asked excitedly.

Li Xincheng nodded, "Yes, it’s indeed that powerful minister."

Li Xiaoyu excitedly stood, "Fantastic, do I have a chance to meet Minister Su?"
