I, reborn, really don't want to be a matchmaker!

"Then I'll go get the money," Zhuang Biyan said, walking towards the Santana.

Huo Zhenzhong didn't follow, but whispered to Qin Chaoyang, "After you take this 5,800 yuan, I won't owe you anything anymore. You can't come looking for trouble with me again."

"That's natural." Qin Chaoyang smiled.

He couldn't be happier to sever ties with Fok Chun-chung!

If he doesn't distance himself from the scheme, he might be implicated by Huo Zhenzhong and unable to escape the consequences once Ma Zhengqin's "pig butchering scam" takes effect.

"Then it's settled." Huo Zhenzhong reached out and patted Qin Chaoyang on the shoulder.

After Zhuang Biyan arrived, he gave Qin Chaoyang 5,800 yuan, and settled the wages of Wang Xiaoli and Li Mei. He didn't say anything more and drove away with Zhuang Biyan in a Santana.

Qin Chaoyang saw Zhuang Biyan's personal information in the virtual pop-up window and couldn't help but look at it out of curiosity.

Zhuang Biyan

Sex: Male

Age: 26

Height: 1.76 meters

Education: University graduate

Weight: 60 kg

Occupation: Behind-the-scenes owner of Huaxin Hotel, Vice Chairman of the Catering Association

Personality: Outgoing and generous, with a slight obsession with cleanliness.

Talent: None

Physical condition: General

Marital Status: Single

Hobbies: Smoking, drinking, fishing, and bragging

Overall assessment: A young man from a prominent family, very wealthy, but his intelligence is questionable.

……

"IQ is worrying???" Qin Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh when he saw those four words on the overall evaluation.

He thought Zhuang Biyan was someone important! Now it seems he was overthinking it.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuang Biyan and Huo Zhenzhong, whose intelligence is questionable, will definitely suffer a great loss in the acquisition of Hongxing Restaurant. They might not even survive Ma Zhengqin's pig-butchering scam.

But these were no longer his concerns. After carefully keeping the 5,800 yuan, he hurried toward the toilet in the backyard.

……

Around 6:30 in the morning.

It was just dawn.

Noisy and bustling sounds came from outside the breakfast shop.

This made Qin Chaoyang, who was sleeping soundly, frown.

After rubbing his sleepy eyes again, he reached out and opened the wooden window.

I initially thought it was just the neighbors arguing.

Surprisingly, the noise was caused by customers cutting in line to buy soup noodles at the breakfast shop, and it got louder and louder.

Just as Qin Chaoyang was about to get up to deal with the situation, Wang Xiaoli grabbed a broom and chased after the customer who had cut in line, yelling, "You dare to be so arrogant after cutting in line? Who gave you the courage?"

"Kill this beast, or he'll dare cut in line again next time," a diner in line angrily echoed.

"That's right, we can't tolerate people like that." While denouncing the person who cut in line, one diner couldn't help but kick the person who had cut in line.

This kick sent the person cutting in line sprawling to the ground, much to the satisfaction of those queuing to buy soup noodles; some even burst out laughing.

But Qin Chaoyang shook his head. After all, it was not a good idea for Wang Xiaoli, one of the shareholders, to hit someone in a business.

But now that it had already happened, he didn't bother with it anymore, and instead closed the window and went back to sleep.

Qin Chaoyang slept very well and didn't get up until around nine o'clock in the morning.

After getting up and washing up, he asked Zhou Jian to make him a bowl of fish noodles.

While he was waiting, he was about to help clear the dishes when a middle-aged woman in her fifties approached him with a smile.

Qin Chaoyang recognized the middle-aged woman; she seemed to be his neighbor, living about 200 meters away diagonally across the street.

As for her name, he didn't know; he only knew that everyone called her Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was a bit plump, but very energetic. Seeing Qin Chaoyang looking at her, she immediately asked, "Little Qin, do you have time today?"

"What's wrong?" Qin Chaoyang brought over a stool and handed it to Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao took the stool and sat down: "I want you to help me find a match for Grandpa Wang in my yard. A red envelope is no problem."

"What? Matchmaking for Grandpa Wang?" Qin Chaoyang was very surprised when he heard this.

Since he's already being called "Grandpa," isn't it a bit much to ask him to be a matchmaker?

"Yes, to play matchmaker for Grandpa Wang." Aunt Zhao nodded in confirmation, "I heard you're good at matchmaking, so I came to you."

"Then tell me about Grandpa Wang's situation first." Qin Chaoyang became serious.

Aunt Zhao was his neighbor, and when she asked him for a favor, he naturally helped her if he could.

"Grandpa Wang is seventy-three years old this year..."

Aunt Zhao had barely opened her mouth when Qin Chaoyang interrupted her in shock: "What did you say? Grandpa Wang is over seventy? You... why are you asking me to be a matchmaker?"

Other diners eating noodle soup nearby also looked over.

Young men and women with a penchant for gossip perked up their ears.

"Oh dear! Don't make such a fuss, let me finish what I have to say first." Aunt Zhao said with a wry smile.

"Okay! Okay!" Qin Chaoyang nodded. Just in case, he led Aunt Zhao into the small room on the east side of the breakfast shop.

There was no one else in the small room. As Aunt Zhao felt relieved, she continued, "Grandpa Wang is over seventy years old, that's true, but he's in great health! He's healthier than a young man in his twenties or thirties."

"He is a retired soldier, and there are dozens of medals in his box."

"It's said that he could take on ten Japanese soldiers single-handedly back then."

"Really?" Qin Chaoyang was shocked and filled with awe.

"Of course it's true," Aunt Zhao replied. "But unfortunately, after Grandpa Wang returned from his military service, his sweetheart got married."

"Now that my beloved's spouse has passed away, I asked Grandpa Wang if he would like to rekindle their romance and grow old together, but... but..."

Aunt Zhao stopped there.

"But what's wrong?" Qin Chaoyang pressed.

"But Grandpa Wang's children, especially his second daughter, were not willing. They even made a scene at Grandpa Wang's house once!" Aunt Zhao replied.

"This is indeed a tricky problem," Qin Chaoyang said, frowning. "Aunt Zhao, does Grandpa Wang's lover live far from here?"

"It's not far; she lives in a mud-brick house across the river." Aunt Zhao pointed and said, "That's why Grandpa Wang settled in our Dayu City—to be closer to his sweetheart."

"Oh, I see!" Qin Chaoyang suddenly realized. "Then, Aunt Zhao, are you free today? If you are, could you take me to visit Grandpa Wang's lover's house?"

"Of course I'm free." Aunt Zhao smiled and handed Qin Chaoyang a large red envelope. "Don't worry, even if this match doesn't work out in the end, I won't blame you or cause you any trouble."

After all, she knew perfectly well how difficult it was, and it was already quite good that Qin Chaoyang was willing to help give it a try.

"I can't accept this red envelope." Qin Chaoyang pushed the red envelope back directly: "Grandpa Wang is a great hero in my heart. If I take your red envelope, I will feel bad, and my mother will chase after me and beat me when I get back."

"Alright then." Aunt Zhao was pleased. After putting the red envelope back in her pocket, she glanced at the sky and said, "Shall we go to Grandpa Wang's lover's house now?"

"Don't rush, let me have breakfast first." Qin Chaoyang replied, "Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll have Zhou Jian make you a bowl of fish noodles too."

"I haven't eaten yet!" Aunt Zhao replied with an embarrassed smile.

"Then go wait in the lobby." Qin Chaoyang strode towards the kitchen.
