Last night I met a man, Ye, with a high degree, a Doctor, who is a teacher at University, and also is one of my colleagues Crystal's teacher.
With excitement and admiration, Crystal, Su, who is also one of my colleagues, and I, went up to meet Ye. Ye is now 38 years old, but is still single. He asked
Crystal to recommend a girlfriend for him, and Crystal wanted me help. She described him as a tall and slight fat man, so he wanted his girlfriend to be also like him.
Well, it is not easy for me to look for a girl like that, because tall and fat girls mostly in the north of China. So there are only a few girls like that around my area. Accidently, when I had a chat with Su, I was talking about it. I was
suprised he stared at me for a minute, and then laughed loudly. He said he had a
good friend who was 35, an excellent buyer in her company but not yet married.
Her parents worry about it. So, together with Su's friend, there would be five of us meeting last night.
Su's friend was Fan. When the No.52 bus stopped in front of us, a beautiful and
strong girl with a hairstyle got off and smiled at Su. I immediately guessed she
was just Fan, so I came up to her and shook her hand, introducing Ye to her. Ye
only passed his calling card to Fan, then stood by without words. It was just time for supper, so Su asked Fan if she had had it. She said no. Su turned to Ye,
I noticed Su wanted to give Ye a chance to speak, but he was blank. It was clear that Su was a little angry. Ye was also disappointed with me and Crystal. Crystal looked at me for a second and said she knew where there was a good restaurant, while hinting to her teahcer to move on. She walked ahead with her teacher, and Fan walked with me after them, but Su was unhappy walking next to me.
The sun had set down, and a sea breeze was blowing gently. The packman began to
work one after the other. The place they possess were not in order. Here there was, there they were, which were so jumbled that two men side by side could not pass through. The three of us walked in difficult. I looked ahead, wanting to see
where Crystal and her teahcer were. They were waiting for us in front of a restaurant. The waiters opened the door and we were shown in.
Only Su and Fan had not had dinner. So the two of them asked for a meal, and the
rest of us just had a drink. I was surprised that Ye was more talkative than he
was when we met him at first. He just sat opposite Yan, asking her where she was from, what diploma she had, and what jobs her parents did. As fan told him she
used to work somewhere, he was very excited. He claimed he was well-known there
when he was a high school student, and even now most people knew a wonder child
named Ye. Then he asked if Fan had heard of that, and he was very angry when she said no. He rebuked her loudly. The three of us were shocked, and looked at each other in speechless despair. Instead of preventing him from speaking, Su suddenly stood up and left his seat. Ye at last stopped his talking. I watched Fan,
she was still quiet, with a smile on her face. If I were her, I am afraid I would not be gentle like that.
It was about a few minutes later that Su came back. As he just sat down, Ye said
he had something else on and had to go ahead. He went out, then we four looked
at each other, and smiled. Crystal paid for the meal.
He is a teacher, very cultural. No matter whether he likes Fan, he should not leave ahead of us. That is madness. I am very sorry for him.
It is the only man I have met who has an excellent diploma but is not pleasant person.
I really hope he can find his love soon.
