Cheng Xiaoling just raised her head to tuck a strand of hair that fell in front of her eyes behind her ear, and saw a tall, handsome man in a suit and tie walking towards them.

It seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

Suddenly my mind raced. Oh my god! Could it really be him?

He immediately touched Lin Qing's arm with his left hand, raised his chin slightly to signal her to turn around and look, "Why does it feel like Lu Yanqi, the president of the company you are about to join?"

Lin Qing, who was eating with gusto and a mouthful of shrimp meat, was stunned when she heard Cheng Xiaoling's words. Then she turned her head and looked in the direction of her gaze. She saw the familiar figure at a glance. She knew that he was definitely not walking towards their table. She immediately turned around and answered Cheng Xiaoling calmly: "Yes, it's him."

But no one knew that her heart was beating uncontrollably at this moment. She didn't know whether she was happy or excited, but probably both.

Because there were so many people in the restaurant, Lu Yanqi didn't know or notice that someone was watching him.

He walked to the corresponding table number and asked in a gentle and polite voice: "Excuse me, are you Miss Hu? I am Lu Yanqi."

The woman who was sitting stood up and smiled slightly, revealing the dimples on her face. "It's me, Mr. Lu, you're late. Please take a seat."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, but there are still 15 minutes until the time we agreed on." Then he pulled out a chair and sat down.

He didn't say anything else, actually you came too early.

Hu Aishi was not satisfied with Lu Yanqi's answer, so she put away her dignified and elegant image and directly made her request: "You should know that I am a returned overseas student with a good education and family background. I can be said to be a good match for you. My requirements are not high. After we get married, half of your property must be transferred to my name, as well as company shares. You cannot interfere with my freedom. I like traveling, and you only need to accompany me to two scenic spots every month..."

Lu Yanqi only heard the first two sentences and was wondering if this was the blind date his mother introduced him to. Didn't she say that the other party was well-educated and well-mannered? How could this be the case?

After Hu Aishi finished speaking, Lu Yanqi looked up at her with a little disdain in his heart, "Miss Hu, do you have any other requests?"

Hu Aishi picked up the teapot and added tea to her cup. "No more for now."

Lu Yanqi nodded, glanced around casually, and then stopped his gaze on Hu Aishi. She was indeed good-looking and dignified in appearance, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he rejected her.

"Miss Hu, aren't you thinking too far ahead? Why don't you ask me if I like you?"

Hu Aishi was stunned. "You are almost 30 years old and still not married. Shouldn't you find someone who is of equal status? I am just the right person. Don't you think highly of me?"

"Ms. Hu, I really don't like you. Go find someone who is your equal and make your request. We are not suitable."

He made demands right from the start, as if he had to marry her. Other people went overseas to gild themselves, but she came back arrogant.

"You think I'm asking too much? You're not that stingy, are you? It's okay if I don't want the company's shares for now."

Lu Yanqi didn't want to continue talking about this topic with her and said, "Ms. Hu, you may not know that I didn't intend to come to this appointment, but I was arranged by my parents. Now I have completed the task. I wish you good luck on your next blind date."

Hu Aishi was a little frustrated. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip to hide her panic. She felt that she had excellent conditions and did not expect Lu Yanqi to reject her.

But she seemed to have fallen in love with him. He was rich, handsome, and had a good figure. He was no worse than the men she met abroad.

Lu Yanqi was not in a hurry to leave. He poured himself a cup of tea. He wanted to see the true nature of this girl.

Lin Qing, who was sitting at a table not far away, couldn't hear clearly but guessed that they were on a blind date.

Cheng Xiaoling winked at Lin Qing, leaned towards Lin Qing, and whispered, "I thought you were here for a date, but it turns out you're here for a blind date. Rich families always choose someone of equal status when looking for a partner."

Lin Qing seemed calm on the surface and continued to chew the snacks in small bites, but in fact he could no longer taste what the snacks tasted like. He no longer had the excitement he had just felt, and his heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden.

She didn't know why this happened. She knew she shouldn't have those little thoughts. She knew the gap between her and him, and she knew it was impossible for them to be together. But at this moment, her heart still twitched uncontrollably. She felt uncomfortable and indescribable.

In order to avoid her good friend noticing, she reached out to pick up the drink on the table, shook it twice, brought it to her mouth, and took a few sips to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

"This is normal. Many wealthy families are like this, combining the strong into one." Lin Qing said disapprovingly.

Cheng Xiaoling nodded, "Yes, according to online information, his mother Yang Ruolin is a rich lady."

Lin Qing had never paid attention to his family situation. Could it be that he was still single because he had not found someone who was of the same social status as him?

The little thoughts that were previously buried deep in my heart should be completely sealed up. After all, my identity and status are there, and I cannot covet things that do not belong to me.

I am not that bad. I am not as good as the best, but better than the worst. I want to find someone who loves me and has equal financial resources to live an ordinary life with me. Isn't this the ideal I have always been pursuing?

Why do you have to think about those unnecessary things and make yourself feel upset?

It's time to wake up.

From now on he will be the boss and he will have his reasons for everything he does.

She is an employee and she just needs to work honestly and step by step.

Once my thoughts changed, the haze in my heart disappeared for the most part.

"How can we understand the life of the rich?" Lin Qing said, and then changed the subject, "Are you full? There are still so many things left, how about we pack them up and take them back?"

"I'm full, but will people laugh at me if I pack up the food?" Cheng Xiaoling glanced at the people around her.

"We paid for this, so how we eat it is our business. Didn't you see that the table next to us also packed up?"

"Okay, I'll ask the waiter to bring the boxes over for packing."

After the waiter finished packing the food, Cheng Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and teased, "You're going to join their company the day after tomorrow, why don't you go and say hello?"

Lin Qing quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Forget it at this time, I don't want to disturb them. Let's go and go shopping in the nearby mall."

After saying that, he picked up the bag and hung it on his shoulder, and the two walked towards the exit side by side.

Just at this moment, Lu Yanqi looked up, and was surprised for a moment, but he quickly hid it. Although Lin Qing was walking on the right side of Cheng Xiaoling and most of his body was blocked by Cheng Xiaoling, he could still recognize Lin Qing at a glance.

Looking at the empty, yet-uncleaned dining table behind them, he was certain that Lin Qing must have known that he was here and might have even heard their conversation.

Suddenly he felt the air was a bit depressing and wanted to leave. He seemed to be a little concerned about the fact that Lin Qing knew that he had a blind date here today, even though it was unsuccessful.

Miss Hu on the opposite side was still promoting herself, bragging about her excellence in various aspects, hoping that Lu Yanqi would change his attitude towards her.

Lu Yanqi didn't want to hear a word, but thinking of his mother reminding him to be a "gentleman", he patiently sat for a few more minutes.

Just then, he received a call from his assistant. Lu Yanqi stood up and said perfunctorily, "Sorry, there is something urgent at the company. I have to leave first. I'll buy this order."

After saying this, without waiting for the person on the other side to respond, Lu Yanqi turned around and left without any hesitation.
