Chapter 107 - Silly girl (1/2)
On the weekend, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua were holding hands while out on a date together. However, they just happened to run into Wang Qian, who spotted them. Nowadays, Shao Hua was willing to allow Zhang Fan to hold her hand.
”Zhang Fan, Shao Hua!” Wang Qian had a knowing smile as she stood across the street while looking at the two of them. Oh! Shao Hua immediately shook off Zhang Fan's hand. She crossed the street, and said, ”Hello, Director Wang.” Shao Hua's face had become bright red.
”Haha, I was wondering why Zhang Fan hadn't come to visit me in so long. So he was in a relationship! He really has such great taste. He picked the prettiest flower in our bank!” Wang Qian joked around.
”Haha! Sister Wang, you were also out shopping?” Zhang Fan didn't feel awkward at all. He felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about regarding love.
”I was bored, so I came out for a little walk. Come with me, I'll treat the young couple to a meal. I don't usually talk much to Shao Hua at the bank, but from now on, I'm going to have to get closer to her. Zhang Fan was the one who cured my back pain.” Wang Qian had a rather unique and high position in the bank. She was also quite self-disciplined as she typically stayed in her office, reading newspapers and sipping tea. She almost never participated in the bank's daily affairs.
”Director Wang!” Shao Hua was really embarrassed with how Wang Qian referred to her and Zhang Fan as a young couple.
”Call me 'sister' from now on, both at the bank and outside. Before, I always thought that you were excellent, Shao Hua. Zhang Fan, you need to treat her well in the future. Definitely don't do wrong by her!”
”No problem, Sister Wang. How about the two of us treat you to a meal instead?” Zhang Fan chuckled.
”No need. You still haven't gotten married yet. Now that you have a girlfriend, you need to save money. There will be plenty of things to spend money on in the future. I have some meal coupons here, so let's go eat some seafood.” Zhang Fan figured that Wang Qian had already forgotten who gave her the meal coupons.
This border province was very far away from the sea, so any even somewhat fresh seafood would be really expensive. Zhang Fan and Shao Hua had only eaten seafood once together; it was back when Wang Yanan took advantage of Zhang Fan and made him treat everyone to a seafood buffet. Normally, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua's spending was quite average. They would just go to ordinary restaurants and order a few dishes, and ever since Zhang Fan shamelessly started joining Shao Hua's family for meals, they ate out at restaurants even less.
Zhang Fan had also eaten seafood buffet a few times back at Bluebird City, but he rarely ate seafood here because not only was the seafood usually not fresh, it would be prohibitively expensive. Wang Qian was paying for a seafood buffet today, so Zhang Fan focused only on crabs, lobsters, and the other expensive seafood.
Shao Hua and Wang Qian weren't big eaters. It wasn't long before they were full.
Wang Qian drank some hot milk tea as she asked Shao Hua, ”When did the two of you start dating?”
Shao Hua was helping Zhang Fan peel some shrimp. When she heard this question, she answered, ”Not long.” However, at the same time, Zhang Fan continued stuffing his mouth while replying, ”Several months already!”
”What do you mean!! It's only been two months!”
”Haha, out of all the young people I know, both you and Zhang Fan are outstanding. Since you're dating each other now, get along properly with each other without wronging the other. Feel free to come find me if there's anything at all. I really do like both of you.” Wang Qian was truly satisfied with how Zhang Fan had cured her back pain. She wouldn't have treated Shao Hua so well if it weren't for Zhang Fan.
”Zhang Fan, when will you visit your home? You've been here in the border province for two years now, right?” Wang Qian asked Zhang Fan.
”Almost. It'll be two years exactly in this October. I'm going to visit home next month since my younger sister is about to take the college entrance examination. I won't feel reassured unless I go.”
”Yeah, it's time that you visited home. Come visit me before you leave. Are you taking Shao Hua with you?”
”Haha, I'd like to take her back with me!” Zhang Fan had a foolish smile as he looked at Shao Hua.
”What!? I don't have enough vacation days, and besides~” Shao Hua spoke in a tiny voice as her face reddened.
”It's not a problem. I'll talk to your boss about it. Feel free to go together with him.” Wang Qian was truly acting as a powerful support for Zhang Fan, helping him say and do everything. All that was left for him was to convince Shao Hua to go back with him.
