Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Matchmaker’s Red Envelope

"Mm," Li Xiaoyun replied, "I believe him too."

***

Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen are truly a couple; their synergy is unbeatable.

Ye Fei was just joking with Li Xiaoyun.

She and Li Xiaoyun aren’t that formal, but with Zhao Dingli, she isn’t comfortable asking for any matchmaking red envelope.

But it’s different with Zhao Gushen.

Ye Fei didn’t even speak to Zhao Gushen about it, he went to Zhao Dingli directly.

Zhao Dingli received Zhao Gushen’s message on WeChat: "Uncle Four."

Zhao Dingli raised his eyebrows: "What do you want?"

Zhao Gushen was straightforward: "Matchmaking red envelope."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

"What the hell?" Zhao Dingli was shocked by Zhao Gushen’s audacity, "Why are you asking me for a red envelope!"

"Matchmaking red envelope," Zhao Gushen patiently explained again to Zhao Dingli.

"I know what you’re asking for. What I mean is, why are you asking me for a red envelope?" Zhao Dingli queried.

It’s such a joyous occasion, him falling in love.

Instead of sending his blessings with a red envelope, Zhao Gushen asked for one from him?

Where’s the face?

"You wouldn’t have met Li Xiaoyun without Xiao Fei. If Li Xiaoyun wasn’t friends with Xiao Fei and hadn’t gone to see Xiao Fei’s match, where would you have met Li Xiaoyun?" Zhao Gushen said.

"So, Xiao Fei is your and Li Xiaoyun’s matchmaker. Without her, you wouldn’t even know Li Xiaoyun." Zhao Gushen stated.

Zhao Dingli agreed on that point.

"Even so, I owe my thanks to Ye Fei. What does this have to do with you?" Zhao Dingli said disdainfully.

"First of all, Xiao Fei and I are married; we don’t distinguish between each other. We’re a unified entity, so thanking her is like thanking me," Zhao Gushen confidently retorted, "She’s in class now and can’t talk to you, so thank me, and I’ll convey your gratitude later."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Ha, is it still possible to unfriend Zhao Gushen on WeChat now?

"Moreover, without Xiao Fei, you wouldn’t know Li Xiaoyun. Without me, you wouldn’t know Xiao Fei." Zhao Gushen logically explained, "If it weren’t for me marrying Xiao Fei, you would have no connection with Xiao Fei and wouldn’t know where to meet Li Xiaoyun."

"Ultimately, it’s because of me. I’m the starting point of this chain. Everything is because you knew me, and eventually, through Xiao Fei, you met Li Xiaoyun," Zhao Gushen explained.

"..." Zhao Dingli gritted his teeth, "Does she know you’re exploiting her name to squeeze money from me?"

"How is this exploitation?" Zhao Gushen disagreed with the term, "You give me the money, and I’ll pass it on to Xiao Fei."

Zhao Dingli replied with a "Ha" to Zhao Gushen.

He directly opened Ye Fei’s profile and entered the chat window with her.

Without further ado, he sent Ye Fei a 200 yuan red envelope.

He’s not being stingy; it’s just that WeChat red envelopes can only send up to 200 yuan at a time.

If he wanted to send more than 200, it would have to be through transfer.

However, Zhao Dingli felt that a transfer doesn’t feel the same as a red envelope.

What he wanted was just the effect, not the amount of money.

The red envelope also allows him to rewrite the text himself.

Zhao Dingli straightforwardly wrote four characters on the red envelope: "Matchmaking red envelope."

Then he sent it to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was in class at the time, unable to check her phone.

Her phone was on the kitchen counter, so she could see the notifications on the lock screen.

If something important happened, she wouldn’t miss it.

This was a dessert class, and Ye Fei was kneading dough, noticing her phone lit up on the lock screen beside her.

The notification showed it was a red envelope from Zhao Dingli.

Ye Fei’s hands were covered with flour, and for food hygiene, she couldn’t touch her phone now.

So, even though Ye Fei was extremely curious and even tempted to use her elbow to try unlocking her phone, she resisted the urge.

This lesson was about Chinese desserts.

Finally, she placed the dessert in the oven.

Ye Fei washed her hands and quickly picked up her phone to check it.

Seeing the red envelope from Zhao Dingli with the words "Matchmaking red envelope" written on it,

Ye Fei raised her eyebrow in surprise and laughed: "Uncle Four, is this a thank you for helping you get to know Xiao Yun?"

"Yes," Zhao Dingli quickly replied.

Ye Fei thought, Zhao Dingli manages Changlin, but why is he so quick to respond?

Is he really free today?

Could it be that to celebrate his newfound relationship, he decided not to work today?

Anyway, Ye Fei didn’t stand on ceremony with him and smiled back: "Then I won’t be shy taking it."

Indeed, she was the matchmaker for Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun.

"Take it, or Gu Shen will come asking for it," Zhao Dingli said, "Compared to giving it to him, I feel better giving it to you."

Ye Fei: "..."

Look at how Zhao Gushen had pressured him!

So, Ye Fei accepted the red envelope Zhao Dingli sent.

After accepting it, Zhao Dingli captured a screenshot and sent it to Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Dingli: "Sent."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Okay, since they’re a couple, it’s the same giving it to either of them.

As for the 200 yuan red envelope, Zhao Gushen didn’t really care.

He just enjoyed the feeling of asking Zhao Dingli for a red envelope.

At this moment, Rui Changhuai knocked on the door.

Zhao Dingli initially planned to announce it in the Eighty-Six group but hadn’t had the chance to do so.

He’d been busy talking to family and hadn’t gotten the opportunity to share his success elsewhere.

Now, he had no time but will talk later.

"Come in," Zhao Dingli said.

Upon entering, Rui Changhuai informed Zhao Dingli: "President, it’s time for the meeting."

Zhao Dingli nodded, glancing at the time, realizing it was already 10:30.

"Tell them to cap the meeting within an hour. Focus on important matters, don’t waste time on trivial stuff,"

"Also, when discussing significant things, get straight to the point. Skip all boasting and excuses they usually use, as if I can’t catch them," Zhao Dingli said, pursing his lips.

He just couldn’t be bothered to expose it.

"Understood," Rui Changhuai nodded while typing Zhao Dingli’s directives into the chat group of department heads.

Then Rui Changhuai asked Zhao Dingli: "President, do you have any plans afterward?"

It’s not on the itinerary.

Zhao Dingli let out a "Ha."

Indeed, Rui Changhuai is a meticulous assistant, thoughtful in every way.

But as a single man, he couldn’t truly understand how busy one can be when in love.

Zhao Dingli looked at Rui Changhuai with pity: "After the meeting, I’ll head to Xiao Yun’s company. I’d rather arrive early than keep her waiting."
