American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Hearing Duan Xifeng say this, Xue Sumei was also a little unsure.

“That shouldn't be the case, right? Didn't you recommend Xiao Qi last time? He's a billionaire, and nothing went wrong!”

Su Qing and Duan Xifeng have been married for over a decade. She understands her husband so well that she knows what he's thinking just by listening to him speak.

Hearing this, she knocked on the table and said, annoyed, “If you have something to say, just say it directly. Do you have to beat around the bush with your aunt?”

Xue Sumei was taken aback: “Xifeng, what do you want to say?”

Duan Xifeng smiled embarrassedly: “It's just a coincidence. I didn't know you'd find such a good resource again. The one I have on hand is a bit… embarrassing!”

“What's embarrassing? If it's good, it's good! Tell us about it!”

Duan Xifeng nodded: “Alright, I'll tell you about it! Actually, he's not an outsider. You know I organized a college reunion a while ago, right? I met this college classmate at the reunion.

I only found out after asking that this guy is still unmarried.

This guy was my best buddy in college. We not only lived in the same dorm, but we also crammed for exams together, so I know his personality inside and out.

After graduating, this guy went straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau and has been a civil servant ever since. He's already been promoted to the level of a full section chief and is about to be promoted to deputy director level, so he's a potential stock.

He's reliable and knows his roots, and he's from Beiping. Plus, he's a good person, so I was thinking of introducing him to Taozi.”

Xue Sumei nodded quickly: “A civil servant is good too. The advantage is that the job is stable, unaffected by wind or rain. Thirty-five years old is also the right age. Taozi, why don't you go meet him!”

Yang Tao was a little unwilling: “Mom, I only have one day off, and I still have to meet that deputy director. I don't have time!”

“How can you not have time? You used to meet three or five in a day, and it wasn't a problem. How come two is too much now? You're resting anyway, so you don't have anything to do. Besides, your blind date is the top priority for the family right now. You have to go meet him, you must!” Xue Sumei's tone was unquestionable.

Yang Tao was still reluctant: “I already made plans with my friends to hang out at their place tonight. It wouldn't be good to cancel at the last minute, right? How about next time? Anyway, he's my brother-in-law's friend, so it's never too late to meet!”

Duan Xifeng quickly smoothed things over: “Taozi, my buddy is very reliable. From my perspective, he's practically family, different from others, so don't be nervous. How about this? If you're afraid it'll be awkward, I'll go with you. Then the three of us can sit together, and I'll help break the ice. Wouldn't that be better!”

Before Taozi could speak, Xue Sumei nodded repeatedly: “That's right, that's a good idea! Girl, your brother-in-law has already said this much, so it'd be rude not to go. You must go!”

Looking at her mother's determined expression, Yang Tao could only nod helplessly.

“Okay, I'll make time to go this afternoon!”

After finishing the meal, while cleaning up the dishes, Duan Xifeng took a pack of cigarettes, walked to the balcony, picked up a cigarette, and made a phone call.

“Sure enough, I've already set the date for you. The day after tomorrow, at 2 PM, at the hotel where we had our reunion the other day. There will be a table in the lobby. I'll settle the bill for you then. Please do me this favor. Alright, alright, I understand. Just this once, never again. Just do it for me, okay? I'll buy you a drink next time!”

Hanging up the phone, Duan Xifeng felt a sense of accomplishment as he looked at the three women cleaning the house.

In the morning, Yang Tao rushed out of the house in a hurry, putting on her high heels while hopping into the elevator on one foot.

Recently, Yang Tao had been very concerned about the hotel acquisition and had specially bought some books to read. She accidentally read too late last night and almost didn't wake up this morning. Fortunately, the alarm clock was reliable and managed to wake her up.

Walking into the restaurant just in time, she saw a man in a suit sitting in the reserved booth.

Yang Tao quickly walked over, carefully sizing up the somewhat mature man, and nodded slightly: “Um, hello, my name is Yang Tao!”

The man quickly stood up: “Miss Yang is very punctual. My name is Gao Ning!”

The two sat down, and Yang Tao carefully sized up the man in front of her.

Although the information said he was thirty-five years old, the rugged man in front of her looked only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He was tall and sturdy, and the black suit he wore accentuated his upright figure.

Overall, he was acceptable. Although he wasn't someone who would make people gasp at first sight, his face gave off an air of righteousness.

Qi Shan remotely controlled this new body, and seeing Yang Tao carefully sizing him up, he couldn't help but smile and say: “Miss Yang is indeed very beautiful. I wonder what your impression of me is?”

Yang Tao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask curiously: “The information says you're a deputy director. Is that true?”

Qi Shan smiled: “I knew you'd have this question, so I brought my resume! Take a look!”

After speaking, Qi Shan placed a folder on the table and pushed it towards Yang Tao.

Yang Tao tentatively asked again, and Qi Shan nodded again. Only then did she open the folder, feeling a little embarrassed.

“This file is something I've reorganized. Due to my special position, most of the information is confidential, so it can't be found through other channels. However, since it's a blind date, we should naturally be open and honest. As long as Miss Yang doesn't publicize it, there's nothing to worry about.”

Yang Tao quickly waved her hand: “I won't, I won't!”

“Of course, I believe Miss Yang!” Qi Shan said with a smile: “After graduating from college, I went directly into the police system. I was supposed to work in the household registration department for a while, but later, due to a coincidence, I was transferred to the criminal investigation team. I solved several major cases with the team leader, so I received an exceptional promotion. A few years ago, I led the establishment of an anti-online fraud investigation team and successfully uncovered a fraud organization involving more than 200 million yuan. Therefore, my contribution was recognized by the higher-ups, and I was exceptionally promoted to deputy director. Currently, I'm at the deputy departmental level!

After finishing reading the information, Yang Tao made up her mind. She looked up at Gao Ning and said: “I'm sorry!”
