Zhao Tianlei saw a young female comrade approach him, but he didn’t recognize her at first.
This winter, it was common to see people dressed particularly thickly. Some even wrapped themselves in scarves, wore masks and hats, revealing only their eyes from head to toe.
"Brother Zhao, I am Tan Yunrou."
He had a vague impression.
She was the one he had inadvertently saved.
"Comrade, is there something you need?"
He had said it was just something he did along the way, so why was this person still clinging to it?
"Brother Zhao, have you been in the Capital City all this time?"
Not only had he been in Capital City this year, but he would be there for several more years.
"Yes, comrade, is there something you need?"
Tan Yunrou saw that he was being polite again.
"Brother Zhao, do you have some free time? I would like to invite you to a meal."
Invite him to a meal?
"No need, no need." Zhao Tianlei immediately refused. He would not go out to eat with someone he had only met a few times.
But Tan Yunrou insisted on treating him.
"Really, it’s not necessary." He truly did not lack for a meal.
Moreover, as a man, going out to eat with a woman could lead to misunderstandings if his wife heard about it.
"Comrade Tan, really, it’s not necessary. The last time I saved you, it was just something I did incidentally. You don’t have to keep it in mind." After starting a business, Zhao Tianlei had become more patient. If it had been before, he would have left already.
How could he not persuade her?
Zhao Tianlei quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Xiao Rou, you are here?" A sudden voice nearby brought Tan Yunrou back to her senses.
Tan Yunrou looked toward the speaker, and it turned out to be Qian Fangfang.
She hadn’t expected to encounter Qian Fangfang here.
"Fangfang....." Tan Yunrou was somewhat confused as to why Qian Fangfang would be there.
Why would Qian Fangfang come here?
Without getting close to Tan Yunrou, how could she get to know Zhao Tianlei?
If she didn’t get to know Zhao Tianlei, how could she marry him and live a wealthy wife’s life?
So, on weekends off, she came to Capital City University to find Tan Yunrou, hence getting to know Zhao Tianlei.
Otherwise, where would she find Zhao Tianlei?
"Xiao Rou, I came to shop with you. Let’s go shopping, shall we?" Qian Fangfang approached enthusiastically, even reaching out to clasp Tan Yunrou’s arm.
But in her mind, she thought, once I meet Zhao Tianlei, Tan Yunrou will be of no use.
Tan Yunrou was somewhat confused, but quickly collected herself.
What did Qian Fangfang want to do?
They were not that familiar.
Remembering what her cousin had said, she instinctively became wary of Qian Fangfang.
But now it was not good to refuse, so she went shopping with Qian Fangfang.
"Xiao Rou, do you have someone you like?"
Hadn’t she asked this last time?
Why ask again this time?
It seemed as if saying ’no’ was like lying.
"No." The answer was still the same.
How could she not have someone?
Had she not yet fallen for Zhao Tianlei?
Or had the two not met yet?
Qian Fangfang was determined to follow Tan Yunrou to meet Zhao Tianlei.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianlei, who was on Qian Fangfang’s mind, couldn’t help but sneeze a few times.
"Wife, take a rest, I’ll do it." Zhao Tianlei even cast a glance at Zhao Tianhe, who was resting nearby. His wife was busy, and he was resting?
Zhao Tianhe hastily got up and started to get busy.
Nowadays, a day’s earnings were significant, but it was indeed tiring.
But it wasn’t cold anymore, which was indeed true.
"I’m not tired, the calculations are quick." Weighing and tallying were easy tasks for her.
