Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Discovery
He Yuanhao nodded, "Thank you, Minister Su."
Xu Guozhi was still waiting for Su Yuanyuan to ask about the girl. But Su Yuanyuan just didn’t ask, leaving him hanging.
Su Yuanyuan understood Xu Guozhi’s intentions and laughed inwardly but didn’t ask, letting him stew.
Lu Chengmin had dealt with Xu Guozhi for a long time. So he smiled and asked, "Where is Xiao He’s match from?"
"She’s a girl from T Province, sent here to attend university just after turning eighteen. I had Secretary Wu look into it. She’s a very smart girl, considered a prodigy back home."
"Quite a match for Xiao He," Zheng Wenqiang also said with a smile.
Only Zeng Zhenqing and Su Yuanyuan remained silent.
He Yuanhao was the same as always. Su Yuanyuan actually felt he was too proud. That’s not good, too arrogant. But he does have the credentials.
She had a cheat, so she learned foreign languages quickly. But his speed was just a little slower than hers, truly impressive.
Tan Shaoting rarely spoke in front of outsiders.
"Leader, is there still a social gathering?" Hu Zi hasn’t settled down yet, and it’s hard to manage those not around, but those who are here should be arranged well.
"Yes, Shao Hongming will attend this time as well, Secretary Wu will inform them."
At this, Tan Shaoting fell silent again.
Su Yuanyuan laughed, Shao Huade was really anxious. But would Shao Hongming attend? There was someone by his side, whom she saw last time, and didn’t hear her thoughts.
So Shao Hongming still made her his secretary. Who knows if this social gathering will be a breakthrough?
She could see that the woman had a romantic interest in Shao Hongming. Hopefully, there will be a breakthrough this time.
"Xiao Su, why don’t you and your husband meet Xiao He’s match tonight?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "No problem. Tonight we’ll host, how about hot pot?" She asked this to He Yuanhao.
"Minister Su, it’s not safe outside."
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, "Minister He, I doubt that female comrade can get in here."
"Come to my place then, I’ll have the secretary arrange it."
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Sure, are we going over together or will you give us the address?"
"Let’s go together after work."
The couple nodded. If they were asked to meet, so be it, no big deal.
After lunch, Tan Shaoting sent Su Yuanyuan to rest, her lounge was now particularly comfortable.
The couple lay down. "Why are we being asked to check this out?"
"I guess they want you to make an assessment. After all, you can often tell a person’s character from their behavior."
"That’s one way to understand it. But what girl can put up with someone like He Yuanhao?"
"When fate comes, they can be together. Maybe He Yuanhao will change?"
Su Yuanyuan just laughed. How could someone proud like He Yuanhao change?
"By the way, do you think Shao Hongming will go?"
"Xu Guozhi already said he would, so he definitely will."
"I hope this time Zhang Chunsheng, Hu Zi, and Qin Zhiyuan all find their matches."
"Alright, stop thinking about them. Take a nap."
The afternoon’s work wasn’t too complicated, so when it was time to clock out, Tan Shaoting came over, and they waited for He Yuanhao’s notification.
Secretary Tian informed Qian Zhifeng, and this time Chengzi was going along. He drove behind He Yuanhao.
"Boss, sister-in-law, what time are we heading to the garrison tomorrow?"
"Leaving at seven in the morning." They’re resting tomorrow and must spend more time with the three kids.
Actually, even if Su Yuanyuan went, she wouldn’t meet the bride. It’s better to avoid any taboos today.
He Yuanhao’s house was really nice, although just three sections, it had a large rear courtyard.
Everything was arranged, and the car drove directly into the yard.
He Yuanhao got out of the car, "Welcome, both of you."
"Minister He’s place is really nice."
"Thank you, Minister Su, let’s go inside."
The interior decoration was even better, truly understated luxury.
Someone poured them water, "Minister Su, Minister Tan, make yourselves at home."
Less than five minutes later, another car drove in.
Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense already saw the girl; oh boy, it’s going to be lively. This girl was hiding deep. How would He Yuanhao react once he knew?
This woman was probably chosen by Xu Guozhi, but He Yuanhao didn’t reject it.
Actually, not uncovering it was normal, but what did Xu Guozhi mean by making her come over?
Or maybe Xu Guozhi didn’t agree? It’s possible that He Yuanhao was willing.
This woman could be considered a beauty. She couldn’t hear He Yuanhao’s thoughts, so if he respected her looks, who knows?
Su Yuanyuan internally ridiculed He Yuanhao as the girl was led in.
She seemed well-mannered and greeted He Yuanhao first.
"Chao Tianqing, this is Su Yuanyuan, Minister Su, and this is Tan Shaoting, Minister Tan," He Yuanhao introduced.
Chao Tianqing extended her hand to shake with Tan Shaoting. But he just nodded, and the atmosphere became awkward in an instant.
However, the girl showed no expression on her face.
Su Yuanyuan noticed He Yuanhao furrowing his brows. Based on her understanding of him, this expression indicated suspicion.
With a smile, Su Yuanyuan also greeted Chao Tianqing.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and said dinner was ready. As the host, He Yuanhao led them to the dining room.
Su Yuanyuan was quite satisfied with the meal, as it consisted of light dishes.
Tan Shaoting supported Su Yuanyuan in taking a seat. Since neither of the two men drank, they simply ate.
Su Yuanyuan only had a bowl of porridge and a few bites of food before finishing.
"Minister Su, is the meal not to your liking?" He Yuanhao asked.
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Not at all, I usually eat this way at night. If I eat too much, it gets uncomfortable."
Being pregnant, there was nothing wrong with saying that.
Tan Shaoting also ate just a few bites but never put down his chopsticks.
The table was particularly quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks touching bowls.
After dinner, the group moved to the living room.
He Yuanhao glanced at Su Yuanyuan.
"Mr. Chao, can you get used to the climate here? It’s probably very different from where you come from, right?"
"It’s okay, it’s cold over there too, just not this kind of cold."
"Still young, adapting so well. I’m really envious."
Chao Tianqing just smiled and listened to Su Yuanyuan without saying anything more.
Tan Shaoting would never engage in conversation with such people, instead sitting beside his wife.
Tan Shaoting felt awkward too. Is this kind of chat okay? But since even the host didn’t speak up, why should he be anxious?
