The clothes also needed to be delivered to the store.
When Fang Chaoyang came back, Zhao Tianlei was not only not idle, but even busier.
The assistant who had gone with Fang Chaoyang had not yet returned, as they were still overseeing the renovation process.
This business trip included a daily allowance.
Zhao Tianlei had spoken to three clothing store managers about the trip to Shanghai.
Once there, they would need to recruit people, among other follow-ups.
"Manager, I want to go, my aunt married into Shanghai."
After deciding which manager would go to Shanghai, Zhao Tianlei had her leave for Shanghai to start recruiting and training.
The assistant was still there, waiting for the store to be ready, and would return with the delivery truck.
"Comrade Fang, long time no see, I didn’t expect to run into you here." Du Ruo looked at Fang Chaoyang with a smile in her eyes; she had come with a friend to buy daily necessities and hadn’t expected to meet Fang Chaoyang.
Last time I saw Sister Yun, she mentioned Fang Chaoyang, it seemed like he was on a business trip.
He had gotten thinner, seemingly much more so than the last time I saw him.
Grandma Fang also smiled when she saw Du Ruo.
The classmate who had come out shopping with Du Ruo guessed something and immediately said, "Ruoruo, I just remembered, I have something else to do, I’ll go ahead."
She left without giving Du Ruo a chance to respond.
Du Ruo wanted to call the other person back, but felt somewhat uneasy.
"Ruoruo, my grandson Xiao Yang has just come back from a business trip. Today, he is out accompanying me for a walk and to buy some things. You’re also shopping, so let’s do it together," Grandma Fang held a good impression of Du Ruo.
This girl was studying at Capital City University.
Having lived in Capital City for so long, Grandma Fang knew which universities were good.
Those who could get into these universities were especially good students.
Moreover, this girl also got along well with Miss Yun and the others.
Since Grandma Fang had put it that way, Du Ruo found it hard to refuse.
The weather was getting colder, and everyone had already started wearing sweaters and coats.
In fact, Du Ruo had never actually spent time alone with Fang Chaoyang in private.
"Ruoruo, I heard from Miss Yun that there are more female students than male students at your school."
Du Ruo nodded, "There are indeed more female students than male students, but the difference isn’t huge. Unlike Sister Du’s school, where the number of male students may be several times that of female students."
Grandma Fang looked for some topics to chat with Du Ruo about and also glanced at her grandson, wondering why he wasn’t making conversation with Miss Du.
He wasn’t young anymore, yet showed no urgency.
Even Xiao He had a partner, and if it weren’t a weekday, he would have been meeting her parents.
But her grandson, on the other hand, was still single.
He didn’t seem worried about his marital affairs at all.
His granddaughter, Xiao Yun, was still young, working during the day and learning to read at night.
Fang Chaoyang, seemingly oblivious to Grandma Fang’s expectations, acted as the attendant for the two ladies, not minding at all.
After they parted ways, Grandma Fang felt like pulling her grandson aside for a talk.
"A wife won’t fall from the sky; you have to make your move. If you don’t act, I’ll have to send you on blind dates. I’m already half buried in the ground, how much longer can I live? When the time comes and I go down, how will I face your parents, telling them you’re still single?"
Fang Chaoyang found it difficult to withstand his grandmother’s gentle approach, one of his closest kin.
