Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Agreement

Li Xincheng nodded, "There’s a good chance you’ll see him. We all know that person is one of Minister Su’s husband’s subordinates. Because of an incident, he had to leave the garrison to protect Minister Su."

The Li Family looked at Li Xincheng. There were rules, and some things couldn’t be discussed even with family.

Li Xiaoyu was delighted. "I’ll have him come to our house tomorrow. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, you can all have a look.

He’s eight years older than me, but he looks quite young, and I think he’s not rigid."

She mentally griped, at least he’s livelier than my brother.

The head of the Li Family nodded, "Alright, let’s talk about it when he comes tomorrow."

At the gathering, Hu Zi and the quiet girl sat together for quite a while without anyone speaking.

Hu Zi sighed inside, this won’t do. If they end up together one day, it would be problematic if they stayed home without making any sound.

He initially chose this girl because she was quiet, but she was the truly silent type.

"Hello, comrade. My name is Hu Zi, I’m an orphan, I don’t know who my parents are. I’m twenty-nine this year, and I’m working now."

Liu Yulan glanced up at Hu Zi. She really didn’t want to come, but this was something arranged by the higher-ups, so even without the intention to start a family, she had to show up.

The first time, she picked the coldest person. She knew it was impossible inside, and indeed it was, but still, a few picked her.

She knew that if she was unwilling, they would continue to come, and she really didn’t want to be looked at like a monkey, so in the end, she chose Hu Zi, who was more pleasing to the eye.

"My name is Liu Yulan, I’m twenty-three years old. I work at the Capital Hospital as a pediatric doctor."

Hu Zi nodded, now understanding clearly that the female comrade didn’t fancy him.

"Hmm. Liu Comrade, you’re not interested in me? Want to leave here? Then I’ll escort you out, but I’ve got brothers who aren’t finished yet, we can leave together. Sorry I can’t see you off."

Liu Yulan didn’t expect him to be so perceptive, but it worked out well.

"Thank you, comrade."

"No need to be polite. Let’s go, I’ll take you out."

After they came out, they ran into someone Hu Zi knew.

"Leader, you’re here too?"

Hu Zi nodded, "If you want to laugh, go ahead. Get lost."

"Hehe. Leader, there’s nothing wrong with this."

"Get lost." He was really annoyed. Next time he won’t come again, but if the big boss and big sister-in-law order him, he really can’t refuse not to come.

Liu Yulan listened to Hu Zi’s words, feeling disinterested in him. He was truly uncultured. How could someone like this possibly be a match for her?

Hu Zi came back and sat with Chengzi, "Did it work out?"

Hu Zi shook his head, "No, she didn’t like me. What about you?"

"I’m alright. They asked me to go to her house tomorrow, probably just to show me to the elders."

"You’re something, kid." Hu Zi was a bit envious. If Chengzi succeeded, the big boss would look down on him even more.

Plus, Da Biao had already gone to escort the lady comrade. Thinking of this made Hu Zi’s teeth ache, seeing Daqing smiling there too.

"Hehe. Feeling the pressure? It’s okay. At least Zhang Chunsheng and Qin Zhiyuan are with you."

"How could that be the same? The big boss might just scold them a bit, but me?" Hu Zi didn’t dare continue speaking.

Chengzi nodded, "True, the big boss would definitely despise you."

"Do you have to rub salt in my wound?"

"Anyway, I should be fine, the big boss won’t deal with me."

"Get lost."

"I won’t, haha, I just won’t."

Daqing was chatting well with the lady comrade, who was also a doctor, and a surgeon too.

They introduced themselves, and were satisfied after hearing each other’s work and age.

Daqing was thirty, Sun Lizhen was twenty-five. They were both getting on in years, considering more than just appearance and feelings, work was also a major factor.

They seemed to be reaching an agreement easily. Daqing was also an orphan, Sun Lizhen’s parents were deceased too, so they could decide for themselves.

"Mr. Sun, if you have no objections, shall we engage with marriage as our premise for a few days?"

Sun Lizhen nodded, Daqing’s work was good, he was a leader with a considerable level. The benefits were good, so their days together would definitely be well.

"Okay, when are you free? Let’s schedule a meeting when we both have time, so you can get to know me."

Sun Lizhen nodded, "I’m on day shift tomorrow, and I have the day after off."

"Alright, I’ll come find you the morning after tomorrow."

Sun Lizhen had no objections. They made their arrangements.

"I’ll take you back to the hospital."

"No need. Several colleagues are here, we’ll go back together. Let’s meet at nine in front of the hospital the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, barring any special circumstance, I won’t break our date. If something comes up, I’ll call you."

Sun Lizhen nodded and went to find the three female colleagues she came with.

Daqing sat down next to Hu Zi with a smile.

"Looks like you succeeded too?" Chengzi asked with a smile.

Daqing nodded, "Yes, seeing her the day after tomorrow."

"Almost there then?" Hu Zi also asked.

"Yeah, she’s a doctor too, and she’s on her own, so we two can decide for ourselves."

"That’s really quite nice." Hu Zi felt envy, why couldn’t he make it?

"How are you two doing?"

Chengzi smiled and nodded, "I’m going to the lady’s house tomorrow."

"Didn’t work out for me."

"If it didn’t work out, there’s always next time." Daqing consoled Hu Zi.

"Who wants to come next time? I’m not coming again."

Both of them looked at him with disdain. Could he really not come?

Zhang Chunsheng came over, "When are we going back?" He didn’t even ask about their situation. Anyway, he didn’t make it either, so the leader probably knew already.

"Chengzi had Da Biao drive off, he’s gone to escort the lady comrade." Daqing said.

"Then hurry and catch Qin Zhiyuan, we’ll leave with him."

Qin Zhiyuan hadn’t left yet, he was blocked by a lady comrade.

The four of them came out to see Qin Zhiyuan looking helplessly annoyed.

The four of them exchanged glances, and Zhang Chunsheng decided to go rescue him.

He moved, and Hu Zi and the other two followed along.

"Secretary Qin, am I really no good? I’ve admired you for a long time."

Qin Zhiyuan stood aside, not speaking, thinking to himself, just because you admire me, do I have to respond? Isn’t that a joke?

"Old Qin, take us back?"

Qin Zhiyuan had seen the four of them long ago. Not bad, they knew to come over and help him out?

"Sure, let’s go."

The woman watched them leave with disappointment, never really having a chance.
