"I think you two are about the same age and look quite compatible, so I brought the girl over!"
"I'm not very good at matchmaking, so you young people can talk amongst yourselves!"
Liu Kai Xuan asked, "Auntie Wang... you just said, what's this girl's name?"
"Her name is Zhao Fei Yan!"
Damn, Liu Kai Xuan almost fell out of his chair.
The name Zhao Fei Yan sounded so familiar.
Historically, there was also a Zhao Fei Yan, a peerless beauty whose name echoed through the ages.
This name coincidence... made him feel a bit awkward.
But upon careful consideration, it wasn't that big of a deal.
Zhao Fei Yan's name was definitely not her own choice; it must have been given to her by her parents.
Zhao Fei Yan was now in college, so her parents must be in their 40s.
People of that age group had grown up during a time of social upheaval, and most of them hadn't received much education.
They probably thought the name Fei Yan sounded nice and just called her that.
However, this Zhao Fei Yan truly lived up to her name; her beauty was undeniable.
And her demeanor was certainly befitting that of a university student.
"Everyone, come inside and sit down!"
Liu Kai Xuan immediately invited everyone in, and then Wang Yun E introduced them briefly.
The woman who came with Zhao Fei Yan was Zhao Fei Yan's mother, Jiang Ai Ying.
It's worth mentioning: Jiang Ai Ying was also an ordinary worker at the Hong Xing Steel Rolling Mill.
At this point, Liu Kai Xuan could basically understand the situation.
It was likely that Jiang Ai Ying had heard the broadcast at the Hong Xing Steel Rolling Mill about Liu Kai Xuan passing the intermediate technician qualification exam and being promoted to deputy section chief.
After work, she brought her daughter over for a "blind date."
When it came to blind dates and relationships between young men and women, "matching family backgrounds" was a crucial factor.
A university degree held significant value.
A university graduate entering the workforce would have a starting salary no less than 50 yuan!
Liu Yu Qian was a prime example; with her university degree, she received a high salary of 55 yuan upon joining the Hong Xing Steel Rolling Mill.
Without a doubt, Zhao Fei Yan's treatment would not be lower than this standard once she graduated from university and started working at the mill.
When choosing a spouse, girls generally prioritized the man's financial status and future potential.
Just as when men go on blind dates, they focus on the girl's appearance; it was all the same principle.
Liu Kai Xuan was only 20 years old, and his salary had reached 105 yuan, which was essentially the ceiling for young people in this era.
In Jiang Ai Ying's eyes, Liu Kai Xuan was a perfect match for her daughter.
If her precious daughter married Liu Kai Xuan, she would surely not suffer and would live a life of luxury and happiness.
Zhao Fei Yan was not only beautiful but also carried herself with excellent grace.
Furthermore, her conversation skills showed evident refinement, clearly several notches above someone like Liu Yu Qian.
Since it was their first meeting, they didn't exchange many words.
After a brief chat of just 15 minutes, Jiang Ai Ying took Zhao Fei Yan to Wang Yun E's home.
After Jiang Ai Ying and her daughter left, Wang Yun E said with a smile, "So, Kai Xuan, what are your thoughts? Tell me!"
"Fei Yan is a really good girl!"
"You wouldn't believe it, Auntie, the matchmakers who come to their house to propose are so numerous they've almost kicked down the threshold several times!"
"She's beautiful, has a great demeanor, and knows how to dress up too!"
"When I saw the two of you standing together just now, you truly looked like a perfect match!"
"Heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan replied with an awkward smile, "Auntie Wang, you're too funny!"
"You child, why are you hesitating?"
Wang Yun E said with some anxiety, "Isn't this how blind dates are for young people!"
"Whether you agree or not is a simple 'yes' or 'no.' If it's 'yes,' we'll arrange the next steps; if it's 'no,' then so be it!"
Liu Kai Xuan said seriously, "Didn't Auntie Wang just say it herself?"
"Zhao Fei Yan is a very outstanding girl, and many people come to her house to propose."
"This matter is definitely not something I can decide on my own!"
"Sigh!"
Wang Yun E replied with a wry smile, "Kai Xuan, Kai Xuan, you're very capable at work!"
"But you still haven't had much experience with girls, and you don't quite understand their minds!"
"If Zhao Fei Yan didn't like you, she would have found an excuse to leave long ago!"
"As you saw just now, it was me who suggested they go to my house to discuss it before they left!"
"Fei Yan, that girl, it's as if she wouldn't leave if you didn't ask her to!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "Auntie Wang, you really know how to joke around!"
"How about this, Auntie Wang, I think Zhao Fei Yan is quite a nice girl!"
"However, marriage is a lifelong matter, and decisions can't be rushed!"
"Please convey this to them: if it's possible, I'd like to get to know Zhao Fei Yan for a while longer!"
"If we get along well and there are no major conflicts, then it won't be too late to arrange the marriage!"
"Alright!"
Wang Yun E nodded in agreement, "So, you don't really have any major objections, do you?"
"Mhm..." Liu Kai Xuan nodded in affirmation.
"Then, in that case, I'll go and ask Fei Yan and her side for their thoughts. I'll come back to talk to you later!"
When Wang Yun E returned home, Jiang Ai Ying and Zhao Fei Yan had already finished their discussion.
"How was it, Yun E?"
Jiang Ai Ying asked eagerly, "What are Kai Xuan's thoughts?"
"He doesn't have many objections anymore!"
Wang Yun E said with a smile, "Fei Yan, that girl, looks like a little fairy; who wouldn't like her?"
Jiang Ai Ying smiled, "I've asked Fei Yan too!"
"This girl just wants to find a reliable, hardworking man with ambition. Kai Xuan is so diligent at such a young age, Fei Yan really likes him!"
Wang Yun E couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my, Fei Yan has finally found a suitable husband, it wasn't easy!"
Zhao Fei Yan's face instantly turned red: "Auntie Wang, if you keep teasing me like this, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Wang Yun E continued, "Here's the situation!"
"Kai Xuan said he's quite satisfied with Fei Yan, but marriage for young people is a lifelong commitment!"
"They can't just get married based on looks alone; they need to spend some time getting to know each other's personalities!"
"Why so much trouble?"
Jiang Ai Ying became a bit anxious, "For young people, isn't it just a matter of them hitting it off and getting married directly?"
"When I married Fei Yan's father, we hadn't even met face-to-face before getting married!"
"And it's been so many years, and my husband and I are living quite well, aren't we?"
