Chapter 19 The Opportunity Is Really Coming
Xiao Dan raised an eyebrow, her face showing indifference, and said in a light tone, "Who says a woman has to have a man? I don't want one."
David stared at her, wide-eyed: "You don't have a man?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"You've been abroad all these years, all alone?"
David was very surprised.
Such a beautiful and outstanding woman, Dawei would never believe it if he were beaten to death that no one pursued her.
That's unreasonable.
Wang Xiaodan tilted her head, pouted, and looked at Dawei with a defiant expression: "Yeah, so what? Is there a problem? I'm an independent woman."
"No, there's no problem."
David felt a strange sense of smugness. Although whether the other person had a man or not was none of his business at the moment, he was still a little excited.
When the conversation turned to personal and private matters, Wang Xiaodan blushed.
That's just how she is. Her father was very strict with her from a young age, and she was rather conservative about relationships between men and women.
Although I studied abroad, I am still quite traditional in my thinking.
At thirty-three, I still feel a little shy about talking about this kind of thing, especially when it's just the two of us alone.
"You said you wanted to go back, so why are you in such a hurry? Why not stay here a few more days?"
"Kyoto is not a place for me. I'd better go back to my hometown, Toyama Prefecture."
Why do you say that?
"My home is in Yuanshan County."
"Now you have a home in Kyoto, this is your home."
Hearing this, Dawei felt a warm glow inside and chuckled, "Hey, you're right."
"Then stay for two more days. I'll show you around, maybe climb the Great Wall or something. If you like it, stay here. This place has a better future than Yuanshan County."
When the topic of his future came up, Awei lowered his head.
Making a name for oneself is every man's dream, but with his future looking bleak, Dawei is feeling terrible.
"Never mind, let's go back."
Even if you take a cow to Kyoto, it's still a cow.
Whoever they are, that's who they are.
I'm not at that level yet; I can't stay here.
I appreciate your kindness.
Wang Xiaodan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Actually, you could have stayed here."
My dad has already paved the way for you.
My older brother came over for dinner yesterday and said he wanted to get to know you properly, so that's your chance.
Why aren't you more enthusiastic and proactive? Why don't you show him your affection?
David gave a wry smile: "Sigh, I... I'm not used to it. If I were good at this, I would have made it a long time ago, wouldn't I?"
Speaking of Wang Guozheng, Dawei had some minor complaints. He paused and then said, "He didn't come when Grandpa was cremated and buried. I don't know what he was thinking."
Wang Xiaodan became serious: "You've misunderstood your older brother."
There are many things inside that you don't understand.
His special status means there are restrictions on when he can and cannot appear in public.
Moreover, he was actually protecting your grandfather.
When he was being persecuted before, wasn't your grandfather also implicated?
The fewer people who know about his grave, the better.
That's why my older brother and I both supported keeping Dad's funeral arrangements simple.
David nodded heavily: "I misunderstood, I'm sorry."
"If you want to go back, I won't stop you. Before you go back, I'll arrange for you to meet with your older brother one more time. Make the most of this opportunity."
Seeing Wang Xiaodan's serious expression, Dawei realized that this meeting was of unusual significance.
It was also clear that Xiao Dan was intentionally trying to help him out.
Therefore, Dawei was able to recognize the opportunity and appreciate the favor.
No one wants to stagnate, and he must seize this rare opportunity.
"Okay... so what should I say when we meet?"
Wang Xiaodan crossed her arms, sat up straight, and said seriously, "You need to let him know that you are willing to be on his side, willing to become one of his people, and willing to be loyal to him forever."
David lowered his head in thought, finding it somewhat difficult to digest the content.
loyalty?
"I can't teach you the specifics of how to do it."
I've given you enough warnings.
Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep.
Wang Xiaodan got up to go upstairs, but when she reached the stairs, she turned back to look at Dawei, who was still deep in thought.
He sighed inwardly, thinking he should give this silly boy another helping hand.
So I reminded you again: "Look at you, you've been home for so long, and you still call me 'you, you, you' all the time."
You call my dad "Grandpa," so what should you call me?
David frowned as he looked at the beautiful figure beside the stairs. Wu Ma had asked him this question as soon as he arrived, but he didn't know the answer. He was afraid of calling the wrong person and offending someone.
Dawei replied in a trembling, low voice, "Mom...Mom?"
puff!
Wang Xiaodan was so angry she laughed, so she decided to give him a clearer explanation.
"What mother? Are you stupid?"
Can I be your mother?
Call me "sister".
There's not even a proper title, but if you call me "sister," doesn't that make us closer?
Do I need to teach you that?
David suddenly understood, and nodded with joy in his eyes: "Sister, I understand."
Wang Xiaodan smiled, shook her head, and went upstairs.
Her idea was for Dawei to be more proactive and enthusiastic, and to try and build a relationship with Wang Guozheng.
Yesterday at home, he was calling for someone's hand, and that's why Wang Guo was unhappy.
However, he couldn't say it outright, for fear of disrupting Wang Guozheng's plans.
David sat on the sofa and lit a Five Leaf Divine Smoked cigarette.
In truth, how could he not understand these social niceties? After all, he had been in officialdom for so many years.
The main reason was that Wang Xiaodan was like a fairy in his heart, and he dared not easily "cling" to her.
If it were someone like Xiao Lili, he would dare to do it. On the way, Dawei also took the initiative to change his address and call her Sister Xiao Lili.
Dawei was well aware that Wang Xiaodan intended to support him.
He understood the meaning behind those words: when he met Wang Guozheng tomorrow, he should take the initiative to express his opinion and show goodwill, since no leader should take the initiative.
This is actually a very basic threshold. If you can't even take the initiative to show goodwill, your boss will definitely not hire you.
Dawei returned to his room, lay on his side, and kept replaying Xiaodan's words in his mind.
He clearly realized that the opportunity was truly coming.
Meanwhile, Xiao Dan was also awake, talking to Wang Guozheng on the phone.
He discussed the distribution of the inheritance with Wang Guozheng.
"This kid seems alright; he's not greedy and has a sense of righteousness."
Wang Guozheng gave a deep "hmm": "The old man's choice is spot on. He's left me with a useful talent."
"So, are you seeing him tomorrow?"
"Okay, bring him to my house after get off work."
"Um."
Time flies by.
The next evening.
The Audi that had picked her up from the airport arrived at Wang Xiaodan's house again.
David and Dan got into the car and drove towards the city center.
This is a courtyard house.
After the car was parked, the gate opened, and two young men in white shirts got out and opened the car door for the driver.
Dawei followed Wang Xiaodan across the courtyard and headed towards the living room.
The lights were on inside, and there were voices talking.
Upon entering the living room, one sees four people sitting around the tea table. Wang Guozheng is resting his chin on his hand, listening to the three people in front of him talking.
When Dawei and the others came in, the three of them stopped talking.
"Big brother," Xiao Dan greeted the person.
