Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

After finishing the drink, he returned the bottle to Zhong Xueying. A bottle of soda cost 1.5 cents, and you could get a refund if you took the bottle back. After all, soda bottles at that time were all glass bottles, so they had a high value.

Zhong Xueying had just arrived at the steel rolling mill, and Ye Yu, as an enthusiastic elder sister, took the initiative to introduce the situation to her.

The technical department basically spent the whole morning in banter.

During this time, Jiang Fan also really observed Zhong Xueying.

She has very fair skin, an oval face, big eyes, and long hair. Overall, she looks a bit chubby, but definitely not fat. She is 1.7 meters tall, and her weight is hard to tell, but it's definitely over 100 pounds, so the child won't starve.

She may not be stunning at first glance, but she gives off a dignified and graceful look, as well as a sense of good fortune. In other words, she's a good wife, at least that's what Jiang Fan thinks.

After lunch, Ye Yu called Jiang Fan aside mysteriously.

Jiang Fan joked, "Sister Yu, what are you going to do? I'm still a child."

"Bah! You little rascal." Ye Yu's expression remained unchanged. She had experienced everything at her age, and Jiang Fan's words were so non-challenging that she couldn't even blush.

"Don't say I don't care about you. I've basically gotten all of Xueying's information. She's single and has never been in a relationship before. Her parents are still alive, and she has an older brother. I don't know much about her family background, but judging by the clothes she's wearing, I think she's well-off."

Jiang Fan understood that this was to match him with Zhong Xueying.

"I tell you, such a good girl is rare. Would you please consider it carefully?"

Although Jiang Fan didn't know how Ye Yu judged that Zhong Xueying was a good girl in such a short time, he also admitted that Zhong Xueying gave him a good feeling.

"Sister Yu, we've only just met for less than half a day. We haven't even spoken five sentences and don't know each other well. How can you even talk about whether you'd consider it or not?"

Before Ye Yu could speak, Jiang Fan said, "Let's take a look at her for the next two days and get to know her better. Let's see what her personality is like. If she's a good match, don't worry, I won't let her go!"

"Ok?"

"Oh no, that, I will definitely not miss her."

"What you said makes sense. Let's wait for two days and see. It's a good opportunity for me to test her thoughts and see if she has any intention in this regard. If she doesn't, you can't bother her. Do you hear me?" Ye Yu looked at Jiang Fan with a slight warning.

Jiang Fan assured, "Don't worry, Sister Yu, I'm not the kind of person who would pester you."

Chapter 413 Zhong Xueying

Back home, Jiang Fan was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about Zhong Xueying. After he became an adult, he had met many girls of the same age.

There were people of all shapes and sizes, beautiful and not-so-beautiful, but only Zhong Xueying gave him a different feeling.

A few minutes later, Jiang Fan's distracted gaze hardened. He decided to pursue Zhong Xueying. It was a sudden thought, but like a growth potion, the seed sprouted and grew instantly.

As a human being, you should be brave. This is just like winning the lottery. Who knows, maybe it will work out.

But now there is a problem, how to pursue girls?

Although he has lived for decades, Jiang Fan has always been a single dog.

Do I have to write a love letter?

No, Jiang would never do such a disgusting thing.

Just ask her directly if she wants to date?

We've only known each other for one day. Isn't this a bit too presumptuous?

"Hiss~, why are things about love so complicated?"

Jiang Fan felt a headache. He really wanted to find two Sakura people to kill so that he could clear his mind.

At night, Jiang Fan, who couldn't sleep, thought that if he couldn't sleep, Xu Damao couldn't sleep either, so he ran to the backyard and pulled him out of bed.

"Brother, are you sick? If you can't sleep, don't bother me." Xu Damao patted his cheek with sleepy eyes, looking unhappy.

If he couldn't beat Jiang Fan, and if he knew at a glance that there was something important to discuss, he would have to give Jiang Fan two heavy blows today. He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up.

Without saying a word, he was dragged outside to smoke.

Xu Damao took a puff of his cigarette and became more alert. "You'd better have a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will throw Xu Xiao into your room and take your sister-in-law back to her parents' home."

Jiang Fan also felt a little embarrassed, but not because he disturbed Xu Damao's sleep, but because he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Seeing Jiang Fan's slightly embarrassed look, and with someone in the publicity department saying that a female comrade had come to the technical department, Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he already had a guess in his mind.

"Are you attracted to the new girl in your department?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Fan blurted out, then realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "It's not that I like her, it's just that I feel something different, you know, a feeling!"

Xu Damao chuckled, "I understand. I understand everything. It's the same feeling as when I first saw your sister-in-law."

"How could I not know whether you are attracted to Lou Xiao'e or her dowry?" Jiang Fan was speechless, but he did not say it out loud. After all, the couple's relationship is indeed good now.

After teasing him for a while, Xu Damao said seriously, "I think I know what you are like now. You are about to fall in love, brother."

Jiang Fan opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He hadn't believed in love at first sight, but now he did.

Xu Damao stamped out his cigarette and said earnestly, "Don't think about anything now. Go back to bed and have a good sleep.

I promise to find out all the news about Comrade Zhong Xueying for you tomorrow. You should also try to understand her character tomorrow.

You can’t make decisions on impulse when it comes to relationships, especially at night; you need to think things through carefully.”

Jiang Fan nodded, took a long breath, and finally calmed down.

"Tomorrow You"

Before Jiang Fan finished speaking, Xu Damao raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything more and just leave everything to him.

As soon as he closed the door, Xu Damao couldn't wait to wake up Lou Xiaoe who had just fallen asleep.

The latter kicked him directly and said, "How about you two play together? He won't let you sleep, so you won't let me sleep, right?"

"Why are you sleeping? There is a big news." Xu Damao said excitedly. The moment he guessed that Jiang Fan might have someone he liked, he immediately stopped being sleepy.

"Let me tell you, just now..."

Lou Xiao'e sat up immediately, her eyes clear of any sleepiness. "Tell me the details."

Jiang Fan, lying in bed, had no idea that Xu Damao had sold him out. After speaking his mind out, he felt much better.

Although there is still a little confusion in my mind, it is not a big deal.

Lying on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

I didn’t have any dreams and slept until dawn.

The next morning, Jiang Fan acted as if nothing had happened. He washed, ate, and went to work with his family as usual.

In the technical department, Zhong Xueying was the first to arrive at the office, and two minutes later, Jiang Fan also came in.

"Good morning, Comrade Jiang Fan."

"Hello."

Jiang Fan greeted Zhong Xueying as usual, then picked up the teapot and went to the water room to get some hot water.

"Comrade Jiang Fan, do you want to get some hot water?" Zhong Xueying suddenly stood up and asked.

"Yeah, together?" Jiang Fan responded subconsciously, regretting the words the moment they left his mouth. Should he have said, "Do you need me to bring some back for you?"

"Okay, I happened to bring a teapot from home today, so I can go and get familiar with the route." Zhong Xueying agreed with a smile and took out a brand new teapot from under the table.

"Let's go, Comrade Jiang Fan."

"Oh, okay." After leaving the room, Jiang Fan said to Zhong Xueying, "You can just call me Jiang Fan. Everyone calls me that."

Zhong Xueying responded with a smile, "Okay, just call me Xueying."

Jiang Fan nodded.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Xueying took the initiative to ask, "Jiang Fan, I heard from Sister Yu yesterday that you arrested a lot of bad guys, even the gold thieves in Liao Province, right?"

Jiang Fan said modestly, "I did catch a few bandits, but it wasn't as exaggerated as Sister Yu said. I didn't catch the gold thieves alone, I just contributed a little bit."

"That's amazing too. Can you tell me about it?" Zhong Xueying's eyes sparkled with an inquiring look.

"Okay, I'll explain it to you when we get back to the office."

Then Zhong Xueying took the initiative to ask about Jiang Fan's past, mainly about his daily life.

On the other hand, Xu Damao also mobilized his own connections and secretly inquired about Zhong Xueying's news in the factory.

Outside the technical department, Ye Yu was the third person to arrive. Before he even entered the door, he heard the conversation between Jiang Fan and Zhong Xueying.

She consciously slowed down her pace, then bent down and put her head against the door to listen to the movement inside.

Listening to the two people inside talking happily and laughing from time to time, Ye Yu showed an indescribable smile on his face.

Not long after, Han Daguo, Ding Lei and Zhao Wen also came to the outside of the office. They saw Ye Yu's strange posture from a distance.

"What is Sister Yu doing? Is there a thief in the office?" Zhao Wen suddenly had an idea.

"Why think so much? Just go and ask."

Ding Lei patted Ye Yu's shoulder directly, but before he could open his mouth, Ye Yu covered his mouth.

At this moment, Ye Yu burst out with absolute strength and pulled the three big men to the side.

Zhao Wen said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Sister Yu, what are you doing? Why won't you let us into the office?"

"Don't go in yet, Jiang Fan and Xueying are chatting inside."

"Their chatting won't prevent us from going to work. Could they be talking about something shameful?" Han Daguo asked doubtfully.

"Section Chief, I think you're getting senile." Ye Yu said anxiously, "Jiang Fan and Xueying are both single. Yesterday, Xueying even took the initiative to ask me about Jiang Fan."

Now everyone understood that Ye Yu was acting as a matchmaker.

After they knew the reason, they were no longer in a hurry to go in. This shift was different in the morning and evening. Watching colleagues dating was much more interesting than watching machines working.

Han Daguo looked at his watch and said, "There are still ten minutes until work starts. I'll give you a small meeting."

Chapter 414: Security Department Expansion

Glancing at his watch, Jiang Fan suddenly realized that it was already time to go to work, but no one else had arrived yet. This was obviously abnormal.

"Are these guys eavesdropping outside?" Jiang Fan felt sick at the thought. This was no different from when a classmate caught him whispering to a girl he liked in school.

"It's already this late, why haven't the section chief and the others arrived yet? I'll go out and take a look." Jiang Fan made an excuse and stopped talking with Zhong Xueying.

Jiang Fan stood up and walked to the door, without noticing the blush on Zhong Xueying's face behind him.

After going out, Jiang Fan saw that Han Daguo and his companions looked a little panicked.

Especially Ding Lei and Zhao Wen, the two of them played rock-paper-scissors there.

That's fine.

But Ding Lei played rock and Zhao Wen played scissors, so why did Ding Lei get beaten? Are you two having fun?

"Hey, Jiang Fan, you're here so early. We were thinking of waiting for you for a while." Ye Yu pretended to have just seen Jiang Fan, with some exaggerated surprise on his face.

"I just arrived too. Why don't you come in now that you're here?" Since they didn't make it clear, Jiang Fan was happy to keep it a secret.

Ding Lei said, "The weather is nice today, so we can enjoy the sunrise here."

"That's quite leisurely and elegant." Jiang Fan couldn't believe that this excuse actually came from Ding Lei's mouth. This guy is usually quite smart, so how could his excuse be so poor?

"What's the point of rewarding someone? We're just having a small meeting here." Han Daguo gave a seemingly reasonable excuse.

"Sister Yu, you are here."

"Xueying, you're here so early." Ye Yu saw Zhong Xueying push Jiang Fan away and walked over with a smile.

"No, Sister Yu, I just arrived too."

When Han Daguo and the other two passed by Jiang Fan, they couldn't help but smile. Ding Lei even nodded at him, as if to signal him to cheer up.

Watching the three people leave, Jiang Fan couldn't help but look up at the sky. What a sin! How could this be exposed like this?

If he had no feelings towards Zhong Xueying, it would be fine. He could confidently say that this was just a conversation between colleagues. But the problem was, he did have feelings.

If you have an idea in your mind but try to pretend that you don't have it, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.

For the entire morning, Jiang Fan felt that his colleagues were looking at him with smiles.

It was finally time for lunch, and Ding Lei and Zhao Wen were blocking the door in advance as if they had agreed on it.
