Chapter 903: The Proud Goddess, Qiu Wen is a Virgo (2)

Kang Baohong was about to say something when Su Zelin spoke up: “Baohong, since your aunt has the best intentions, why not go take a look? If it’s not suitable, you can just be friends. You’ve got nothing to lose, right? You’re indeed at the age to settle down and establish a career. If you don’t start dating, your dad might blame me for leading you astray and delaying your major life events.”

“Oh, come on, that’s impossible. My dad is all too grateful to you.”

Kang Baohong couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

If it weren’t for Su Zelin, he might still be just an ordinary worker with none of his current achievements.

“Alright then, I’ll go!”

Though still a bit reluctant, Kang Baohong nodded this time.

Su Zelin is the person he respects most; anything Su Zelin says, he listens to, even if it’s a personal matter.

Kang Yulian thought to herself that her hundred words couldn’t match one word from Xiaosu. If she’d known, she would have let Xiaosu persuade him, saving her breath.

“Auntie, you don’t have to worry. Regardless of whether the person is suitable this time, with Baohong’s qualities, finding a wife won’t be hard. There are plenty of female employees in our company who admire him so much they could flatten the doorsteps.”

Su Zelin half-jokingly played the role of kneading the dough.

“Haha, actually, we’re not in a hurry. It’s just his dad who’s always worried and feels the need to give an explanation. Anyway, let’s drop this topic and eat.”

Since Kang Baohong had already agreed, the vice dean’s wife stopped dwelling on the subject of her nephew’s matchmaking.

A month later, Yang Fen suddenly noticed something strange.

Kang Baohong seemed to have become a different person, always smiling, full of energy, seemingly tireless, paying more attention to his attire, and today he even wore a somewhat flashy pink shirt. It seemed like he had become a few years younger.

“What’s up with Baohong?”

Brother Xiao Yang couldn’t help but ask.

Something good must have happened to Kang Baohong to be in such high spirits.

Although the three of them in New Era’s leadership had a great relationship and had been working together for years, Kang Baohong was closer to Su Zelin, since it was the latter who brought him into the company. So there might be things Su Zelin knew that he didn’t.

“The other day, Baohong’s aunt set him up on a blind date, and it seems both sides are quite satisfied.”

Su Zelin revealed the secret with a single sentence.

Though Kang Baohong hadn’t mentioned the results of the date to him, he felt his guess was quite close to the mark.

“Oh, so Baohong’s dating now!”

Brother Xiao Yang perked up with interest.

Among the three of them, he already had a wife and kids, while Su Zelin’s girlfriend worked at the company, leaving only Kang Baohong’s love life without resolution.

“Baohong, was the blind date a success?”

Brother Xiao Yang specially called Kang Baohong over to gossip.

“Haha, not bad, we’ve met several times, and she’s nice.”

Kang Baohong beamed with a smile, the happiness of being in love was almost palpable.

He had been worried that the woman would be a little princess, but it turned out he was wrong.

Not every leader’s daughter is hard to deal with. His date, Chu Jie, indeed had the gentle and gracious temperament his aunt Kang Yulian described. Initially, he planned to brush off the date, but unexpectedly, they clicked, exchanged contacts, and went on several more dates.

Of course, his current status was also important. Without a solid career base, if he were just a poor guy, it wouldn’t be realistic for him to attract a well-educated woman, unlike Su Zelin, who could rely on looks, physique, and charisma.

“Not bad! I was worried you were only focused on your career, not dating, and wondered when we’d celebrate with a big wedding.”

Brother Xiao Yang was genuinely happy for him.

“Since it’s going well, seize the opportunity to date her more. While building a career is essential, establishing a family is also a major part of life. You shouldn’t just focus on the company; sometimes personal life is important too.”

Su Zelin chimed in at the right moment.

“Yeah, I know. I’ve already asked her to dinner tonight.”

Kang Baohong nodded vigorously.

“And after dinner?”

Su Zelin asked.

“After dinner?” Kang Baohong was taken aback. “I’ll take her home, of course.”

“That’s it?” Su Zelin was a bit speechless. “It’s been like this every time?”

“Yeah.”

Kang Baohong nodded.

Su Zelin thought to himself, you’re really clueless. Who goes on dates just to eat? Okay, maybe the first time when you’re not familiar, but now that you’ve met several times, you need to do more than just have dinner for things to progress.

“You can’t just have dinner. There’s plenty of time after. You could watch a movie, take a walk, browse the shops, or even give flowers, which isn’t a bad idea either.”

Teacher Su offered his advice like a love expert.

In matters of the heart, Kang Baohong was a total novice needing expert guidance.

“Giving flowers, we’ve known each other for less than a month; wouldn’t that be too soon?”

Kang Baohong was a little confused.

“If you think giving flowers is too sudden, don’t be too deliberate about it. You could just take a walk at the City Square, where there are many young girls from less affluent backgrounds selling flowers at night to help their families. Buy a bouquet from them. This way, giving flowers feels natural, and the girl probably won’t decline; in fact, she’ll think you’re a kind-hearted person.”

Su Zelin casually gave him a tip.

“Master!”

Kang Baohong gave a thumbs-up.

“That could really work!”

Kang Baohong’s eyes lit up. “I’ll give it a try tonight and hope it’s a success!”
