72: A conversation that broke the window paper
Seeing Zhao Rui's expression, Liu Xiaolin became even more certain of his and his Mom's guess: Zhao Rui had fallen in love with Dong Yuhui at first sight!
"Senior Apprentice Sister had a boyfriend when she was in her second year of university, but that person later went abroad, and Senior Apprentice Sister wasn't willing to develop her career overseas, so they broke up," Liu Xiaolin continued.
"Was her boyfriend very handsome?" Zhao Rui was very curious.
"I don't know either. I only heard her talk about him, I never met him, because she was already in her second year of graduate school when I started university," Liu Xiaolin said.
"She started school very early?"
"Yes, she started first grade when she was five years old, two years earlier than other children."
"It seems she was smart from a young age," Zhao Rui said with emotion.
"She's an only child, and both her parents are national cadres. They gave her their all. However, she didn't like dancing or music. When there was really no other way, she studied painting for a few years."
"Oh? She likes painting?" Zhao Rui was curious again.
"It's not that she likes painting, it's that her parents thought she should learn some kind of hobby, so she just randomly picked a painting interest class in her second year of primary school."
"She's really interesting. Don't most little girls like wearing gauze skirts and learning to dance? Why doesn't she like it?" Zhao Rui was pleasantly surprised.
"Her personality is very lively, so she doesn't like the silent expression of dancing. She says speaking loudly is the best way to express oneself. Therefore, she likes debating."
"That's a very interesting way of putting it, expressing oneself loudly, that's too interesting," Zhao Rui praised repeatedly.
"Look at you, how come you keep praising everything my Senior Apprentice Sister does?" Liu Xiaolin said deliberately, sounding surprised.
"She's good, of course! I can't possibly say she's not good!" Zhao Rui felt a bit awkward.
"How long are you planning to keep it bottled up?" Liu Xiaolin said teasingly.
"Keep what bottled up?" Zhao Rui was confused.
"Do you know that there are only two things in the world that can't be hidden? One is a cough, and the other is love," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, glancing at Zhao Rui. "As soon as I start talking about my Senior Apprentice Sister, your eyes light up like stars. You don't even realize it, do you!"
After hearing this, Zhao Rui's face instantly turned red all the way to his neck: "You noticed?"
"Only a fool wouldn't notice! Haha!" Liu Xiaolin burst out laughing.
"When did you notice?" Zhao Rui was very curious.
"I noticed it from the moment you gave me a very strange and far-fetched reason when you asked for Dong Yuhui's phone number," Liu Xiaolin said seriously.
"Ah? You noticed that early?" Zhao Rui was surprised.
"Yes, you were so obvious, how could I not notice?" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Then, can you help me?" Zhao Rui said tentatively.
"Help you? Why should I help you?" Liu Xiaolin continued to tease him.
"Never mind if you can't help," Zhao Rui was very discouraged. He was a subordinate and couldn't force the General Manager to act as a matchmaker for him.
"So what are you planning to do? Give up?" Liu Xiaolin asked.
"I won't give up. When I get a chance to meet her someday, I'll muster up the courage to strike up a conversation with her," How could Zhao Rui bear to give up on the love he found at first sight.
"Not bad, you're very brave," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. "Seeing how brave you are, I'm going to give you a chance to meet her."
"Really?" Zhao Rui was so excited he nearly jumped up.
"Sit properly, don't get too excited," Liu Xiaolin looked at the man whose head was spinning with love and couldn't stop laughing.
"Hurry up and tell me, what's the chance?" Zhao Rui was still very excited.
"Tomorrow, you contact my Senior Apprentice Sister and tell her to come to Jiangnan Machinery Factory for a day of on-site inspection, to prepare for the promotion of the 1.0t engine in the future. Is this a good reason?" Liu Xiaolin stated the reason he had thought of long ago.
"Oh my, really? This is too good! Thank you, General Manager Liu!" Zhao Rui shouted excitedly.
"I can only help you this much. The rest depends on your own performance," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"No problem, as long as I have this opportunity, I will definitely seize it," Zhao Rui said.
"Set the inspection date with her and remember to let me know. Also, the task of receiving Comrade Dong Yuhui for the on-site inspection at Jiangnan Machinery Factory is entrusted to you," Liu Xiaolin said solemnly.
"No problem, no problem, I guarantee the completion of the task," Zhao Rui agreed repeatedly, happy.
The two chatted happily along the way, and time passed even faster.
After the sky gradually darkened, they entered Jiangnan City.
"I'll drop you off at home first, and then I'll head straight back," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Do you want to go back to the factory to take a look? We haven't been to the factory all day," Zhao Rui was a bit worried.
"If we go to the factory now, everyone will be off work. What is there to see? Qi Qingan just sent me today's production data via text message," Liu Xiaolin said.
"Oh? How was the efficiency today?" Zhao Rui asked with concern.
