It was probably because of his personality. He didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention. He didn't like being surrounded by people. He preferred to be alone quietly. It was good to be in a place with no one to disturb him.
Therefore, he hoped that his future partner's personality would be similar to his, at least not so ostentatious.
Of course, he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. His strength didn't allow it. Just this month alone, he had already accepted two interviews.
He didn't want to, but for the company's publicity needs and long-term development, he had to increase the exposure moderately.
"Is there anything dirty on my face?" Qiu Huimin noticed his eyes.
"No, no." He Zhou shook his head and raised his cup. "Please have some tea."
"Are you working in China now?"
"Yes," He Zhou said. "What about you?"
I didn't say much about this girl. I only knew that she graduated from the London School of Economics.
Qiu Huimin said, "I'm still in London, helping my father with some business matters. I heard that you're starting a business?"
"China's market is huge, and many projects are still in the early stages of development. There's still room for improvement," Fu Yao continued. "Give yourself a chance and see what you can do."
Qiu Huimin said, "The Southeast Asian market is also huge. Have you ever considered coming back to develop?"
Singapore is a small country, but its economic influence covers the whole of Southeast Asia and even the whole world.
Fu Yao said, "Actually, I also want to return to China to develop my career, but in the whole of Southeast Asia, other than Singapore, the internet infrastructure is very poor, and the financing environment is not too good."
"That's true." Qiu Huimin added, "China is now the second largest economy in the world. I haven't been there yet, but if I have the chance, I must go and have a look. Would you like to be my guide? "
"No problem."
"Thank you." In her eyes, Fu Yao was a shy big boy. She thought that as the sole heir of such a large corporation, even if he didn't have any arrogance, his eyes should be above average.
However, what surprised her was that Fu Yao was much more naive than she had imagined. He didn't have the sophistication and ruthlessness of his father's generation, nor did he have the arrogance of a young man.
"Did anyone tell you you look like Fann?
Is that Wong? " He Zhou suddenly thought of Fan Wenfang, the female star in The Smiling, Proud Swordsman who was a household name in Singapore because of her role as Ren Yingying.
Qiu Huimin said, "Some people say that I look like Jacelyn.
tay。”
Zheng Xiuzhen had played the role of He Xiangu in "Journey to the East" and was a household name in Singapore.
Fu Yao said, "Now that you mention it, it's almost the same. So you like Jacelyn?
tay？”
"You like Fann?
Wong? "Qiu Huimin asked.
Fu Yao smiled and said, "She's the spokesperson for one of our mattresses. I saw her at the cocktail party and she was stunning."
Qiu Huimin said, "It just so happens that I've seen both of them. They're both very beautiful."
The two of them chatted more and more. Neither of them hated the other.
In the next two days, under the pressure of his mother, Fu Yao had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Qiu Huimin out. It was not that he was unwilling, but he was embarrassed.
When the parents of both sides were talking about the wedding date, he finally panicked and could no longer sit still.
He treated her to roast duck. After so many dates, this was the first time he had a drink, and she drank with him.
As usual, after a casual chat, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think they're a little ridiculous?"
"Who?" Qiu Huimin was confused.
Fu Yao said, "My mother and your mother."
Qiu Huimin smiled and said, "Auntie Fu is very nice. She's always been my idol. When I was in university, our professor used her as a case study."
"No, I'm not talking about that," Fu Yao said, "I'm talking about the things they've been meeting frequently recently."
He felt that she was purposely playing dumb so that he would say it himself.
However, he was too embarrassed to say it so directly, even when he was drunk.
Qiu Huimin smiled and said, "My parents were introduced to each other. My brother and sister-in-law were also introduced to each other. They're doing very well now, so I'm not against it."
Fu Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I hope it's purer."
"Pure light blinds the eyes. It's like being in pure darkness, you can't see anything clearly." She raised her glass and took a sip of red wine. She smiled and said, "We're ordinary people, so we can't get rid of vulgar tastes."
Fu Yao said, "But, wouldn't it be better if there were feelings?"
She looked at him with a smile and suddenly said, "I like you …"
"Ah …" Fu Yao was caught off guard and his face turned even redder.
"Haha …" Seeing his embarrassed look, she laughed even louder.
"Is it funny?" Fu Yao asked.
"Are you angry? I always thought you were very generous. You can't be so petty, right? "She asked while covering her laughter.
"I've never been generous before," Fu Yao said honestly.
She said, "I'm serious. I think you're very cute. At least our personalities complement each other."
"Isn't cute used to describe children?"
"We're still children."
"You're really good with words." Fu Yao vaguely realized why his mother liked her.
"When I was in high school, I liked a boy. He wore white sneakers and a white shirt. He looked very handsome when he played basketball. Later, before I could even hold hands with him, my father sent me to England," she said with a smile. "When I returned home, I found out that he was affected by his father's bankruptcy and didn't go to university. He was now selling seafood in Brazil. He had a fat head and big ears. I almost didn't recognize him. At that time, all my fantasies about love were instantly shattered. Actually, sometimes I have regrets. I've never been in a passionate relationship. "
"I'm better than you." He had at least been in a relationship, although it wasn't a passionate one.
"I heard from Auntie that you're better than me. At least you've held his hand. His parents even came to look for you." She couldn't help but tease.
"She told you that too?" For a moment, he couldn't keep his face straight. He secretly cursed his mother for talking too much.
"It's quite fun."
"There's something that my mother didn't tell you." Fu Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back to China to settle the company's matters. After that, I need to come back to serve in the military."
In Singapore, only those who were missing an arm or a leg could be exempted from military service.
He couldn't apply for a postponement of his military service.
If he refused, he would have to stay in Singapore for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he would face military detention.
"It's only two years. It's not like I'm going to prison. I can visit anytime." She said with a smile. "After going in, I'll train. Maybe I'll be more manly."
"That's true." He knew from his classmates and friends that after the training period, the military camp system was very loose. "But, don't we need to get used to each other?"
"In the beginning, I was a little worried that you'd be too self-centered because you're an only child. But now, I don't have that worry anymore." She said with a smile. "We're not children anymore. Some people are so serious even when they're angry.
"What do you like about me?" He didn't know if it was too late to change.
