The next morning, Ye Lingtian asked Yi Zhonghai to take a message to the factory security department, saying that he was going to find a matchmaker for a blind date, so he needed to ask for leave.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was naturally surprised at first. After all, he really didn't expect that Ye Lingtian would be ready to find a wife so soon!

However, he did not refuse to help Ye Lingtian with this small favor. Instead, he was happy about it, thinking that Ye Lingtian's willingness to ask him for help was a recognition of him.

Ye Lingtian didn't care. In his opinion, it didn't matter who he asked for help. The reason he asked Yi Zhonghai was just because he happened to live across the street from his house, and he saw him when he woke up in the morning, so he just wanted to make things convenient for him.

But then again, Yi Zhonghai is still clear-headed about some small matters and won't make trouble for no reason. Unlike Xu Damao, who is a mean guy and can make trouble for you in any way.

Ye Lingtian walked out of the courtyard and went directly to the street office.

He didn't know where the matchmaker in this city lived, so he had to ask for help from the street office.

Besides, the street offices nowadays aren't there just to do nothing. Besides managing the street's civil affairs, they're also responsible for finding partners for young people of marriageable age in the street. So, they have a lot of matchmakers on their books, and finding people is much faster than trying to figure it out on your own...

The street office is located in Courtyard No. 40, not far from Courtyard No. 95, only separated by dozens of small courtyards.

Ye Lingtian only walked for a few minutes and arrived at the door of the street office!

There were not many people in the street office, just a few staff members on duty at the window, and some residents asking questions.

Ye Lingtian found an empty window and called out to the staff inside, "Hello! Comrade!"

When the staff member saw Ye Lingtian, he immediately straightened his posture and asked with a smile, "Hello! Comrade, is there anything you want to ask?"

Ye Lingtian smiled and said, "Yes! That's right..."

Ye Lingtian told the staff that he wanted to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage.

"Oh! Is that so? But this matter is not my responsibility. It's the responsibility of Director Wang. Please wait here for a moment. I will tell Director Wang about this matter. She should be able to help you solve it..."

After the staff member finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the office...

The street staff of this era were quite serious about their work. They didn't say to Ye Lingtian: "This matter is not my responsibility, you should ask somewhere else..."

Instead, he told Ye Lingtian the specific person in charge and helped him pass on the message...

Seeing this, Ye Lingtian thought of the scenes of public officials in later generations shirking their responsibilities, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Why is it that as the times progress, people's hearts become more complicated...

Soon, the staff member walked out of the office, and there was another figure following him.

Seeing Ye Lingtian, the staff member said to the person next to him: "Director, this is the comrade..."

After hearing what the staff member said, Director Wang followed his gaze and looked at Ye Lingtian.

After looking Ye Lingtian up and down, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This guy is really handsome. I didn't expect that he is not married yet...

Then the staff member introduced Ye Lingtian, "The person next to me is Director Wang from our street office. You can talk to her about your matter..."

After saying that, he returned to his post and sat down.

Director Wang then walked forward with a smile, took Ye Lingtian's hand affectionately, and said to him, "Young comrade, come! Come sit in my office for a while. I already know about your situation. I'll have someone call the matchmaker over right now, and then you can have a good chat with her to see what kind of girl you're looking for..."

Ye Lingtian followed Director Wang into the office, looked around, and found that the office was not large, roughly estimated to be only about a dozen square meters.

"Haha, comrade! Find a seat!" Director Wang went to the side and made a pot of hot water. He poured a cup of water and brought it to Ye Lingtian. He then asked him, "By the way, comrade, what's your name? Which courtyard do you live in?"

Ye Lingtian took the hot water with a smile, and then said in a gentle voice: "My name is Ye Lingtian. I just moved here a few days ago. I currently live in Yard No. 95..."

"Oh! You just moved in! No wonder you look unfamiliar to me..." After all, it's impossible for her not to have an impression of such a handsome man: "By the way! Yard No. 95, is that the yard where Yi Zhonghai and his family live?"

"Yes!" Ye Lingtian nodded.

"Haha! Then I remember, a resident of the Central Courtyard just moved out a few days ago, and then the higher-ups said they would arrange for a young man who had retired from the army to live in there. That person should be you..." Director Wang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingtian nodded again: "I didn't expect Director Wang also knew about this..."

"Hey! Of course I know. After all, I'm the director of this neighborhood office! If a resident wants to move into our neighborhood, all the documents have to go through me..."

"Then Director, you have a lot of work to do, managing so many residents..."

"That's right. There are more than a few hundred households, and they're so busy every day that there's no room for them..."

The two of them chatted with each other and became much closer.

Ye Lingtian felt that Director Wang was quite sensible, worked very seriously, and was willing to serve the people. He was a rare good person in the drama "Siheyuan".

Director Wang felt that Ye Lingtian was a good-looking young man, spoke in a friendly and polite manner, and understood the difficulties faced by cadres in their work, so he was willing to get close to him.

……

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the office door, and then a voice came into the office: "Director, Matchmaker Wang is here. Can we let her in now?"

Director Wang heard the voice and immediately stood up, walked to the door and opened it. "Why not? Come... Aunt Wang, come in quickly. Xiao Ye and I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

There were two figures standing outside the door. One was a staff member from the subdistrict office, and the other was an elderly woman who looked to be in her fifties, with a kind face and a vibrant spirit. She was dressed like a matchmaker. I guess she was the old woman Wang that Director Wang mentioned...

When Mrs. Wang saw Director Wang, a smile immediately broke out on her face, her eyes curved, and she made people feel very friendly. She said, "Director Wang, oh! I'm so sorry! Look at me... I kept you waiting for such a long time! I have no choice. Someone just came to propose marriage to me, so this back and forth has delayed me for a while..."

"Haha! Stop talking about this. You've been working so hard! Come, sit inside for a while. I'll pour you a cup of hot water..."

Director Wang said this and pulled Mrs. Wang over to sit on the chair next to Ye Lingtian.
