After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2423: Setting Up Blind Dates
Chapter 2423: Setting Up Blind Dates
Da Zhuang had been overjoyed for the past few days. Everyone could guess that Da Zhuang and Qian’e must have decided to get married. This was simply a blessing from the Gao family’s ancestors! All his ancestors over the past hundreds of years must be blessing him!
During lunch time, the guard team members gathered around to eat but they kept sighing. When Qiao Mei passed by, she wondered if there was something wrong with the food served today. They did not change the chef recently though.
“Why are all of you so listless? Are you not feeling well?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Sigh… Sister-in-law, Brother Da Zhuang is getting married. We’re all discussing how much money we should give them as a gift for their wedding,” said Xiao Wang, one of the guard team members. frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Just give them a token sum. They probably won’t be picky about such things. You don’t need to worry about it,” Qiao Mei said.
All the guys let out a long sigh in unison.
Qiao Mei immediately realized what the issue was. These guys in front of her were all still single! They had all been busy working in her house to protect her family’s safety for so many years that they did not even have time to go on dates!
“Oh! I’m really sorry! Our family’s issues have affected your love life! How about this! When Xia Wen and Xia Zhe return, I’ll talk to them! We’ll work out a shift system for all of you! You will work for a month and get half a month off! I’ll let you all go back to your hometowns to go on blind dates with the ladies! Go get married! Set up your own families!” Qiao Mei said agitatedly.
Xiao Wang said shyly, “Sis, I don’t want to go on blind dates in my hometown. Do you know any nice girls whom you can introduce to me?”
The Xia family’s guard team was in charge of protecting the Xia family’s safety. There was a longstanding saying in the army that whoever was assigned to be in charge of the Xia family’s security would not have to worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives!
The Xia family’s descendants were all highly regarded talents in the country and the family’s guard team would never be disbanded so the guard team members had a very stable job. In addition, the Xia family members were all very easygoing and took very good care of the guard team.
Most of the guard team members had already bought their own house in the capital and intended to settle down here. They did not feel comfortable about going back to the countryside to go on blind dates since they might not have anything in common with the girls there. It would be more practical to find a girl with a registered residence in the city.
“There should be many single men and women in my factory. How about this, I’ll organize a social gathering every weekend! You can go if you want to! You can fall in love freely! How about that!” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s a good idea! We support it!” Xiao Wang shouted.
“I’m supportive!”
“We all support the idea!”
Qiao Mei smiled and nodded. “Alright! It’s settled then. I’ll keep you informed!”
Qiao Mei realized that she had overlooked this matter. In her other life, it was important for bosses not to interfere in the private lives of their employees. However, in this era, it was very difficult to fall in love freely as people were more reserved. Most of the time, the factories would organize social gatherings so that the staff could get to know one another better. This was actually part of the superiors’ responsibility.
All these people had indeed worked very hard for Qiao Mei for so many years. If not for the fact that they were highly paid, many of them would probably have left by now!
Although Qiao Mei had agreed to help the guys, she did not have any experience as a matchmaker nor did she know how to go about matching the family backgrounds for these people. It was really a headache for her.
“Why are you frowning? Who made you angry?” Xia Zhe asked when he reached home.
“I need to be a matchmaker for all our staff but I don’t have any relevant experience. There are more than 10 people involved! I can’t possibly investigate their background one by one and set them up on dates individually! It’ll be a cold day in hell before we can solve the problem,” Qiao Mei said with a long face.
Xia Zhe hung up his coat and said, “My mother has a lot of free time. You can let her try it out.”
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that! Mother is very good at this!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
Xu Lan had always wanted to be known as a proficient matchmaker, but she had not been able to succeed time and time again. As time passed, she lost her confidence, but it was not her fault. Her kids had unique tastes and were hard to please, so it was not easy to find a match for them.
Given that there were so many young men in the guard team, she should be able to succeed in matching at least one couple or two! At the very least, this would give Xu Lan something to do after her retirement.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll go and talk to Mother,” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei threw herself into Xia Zhe’s arms and said, “I love you to bits! How can you be so smart! You solved my big problem so easily!”
“Then how are you going to thank me?” Xia Zhe asked as he hugged Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei kissed Xia Zhe intently. Every moment of the night was precious and the lights in their bedroom shone bright the whole night. The two of them only managed to fall asleep close to dawn.
The next afternoon, Qian’e walked into Qiao Mei’s house while holding Da Zhuang’s hand. Qiao Mei was so tired that she could not even open her eyes. She was still sleeping when Qian’e woke her up.
“You’re still sleeping! Do you know what time it is! Get up! I want to buy you dinner tonight!” Qian’e said as she shook Qiao Mei’s shoulder.
