Du Tianming entered the conference room, his mind still in turmoil.
Last night, when he returned home, his wife had run into Political Commissar Guan's wife. The latter wanted to set her niece up with Deputy Regimental Commander Huo by arranging a meeting disguised as a chance encounter, afraid that a direct setup might lead to awkwardness between the two youngsters.
Initially, he had been reluctant to help. However, when his own son fell sick, it was Political Commissar Guan's wife who had secured the necessary medicine from her family. Without it, his son might have been left with sequelae.
Huo Jingrui is also of marriageable age, he mused. If there's some fate between them, perhaps this could solve the issue of him being an older bachelor. If not, it's no real loss, since it wasn't specifically arranged as a matchmaking session anyway.
As he was lost in these thoughts, Political Commissar Guan said, "Tianming, what's on your mind? You seem so focused."
