Beijing and Hong Kong kiss

Blooming irises are placed in every corner of the restaurant. The bright colors under the dim warm light create an even more romantic atmosphere.

The man sitting opposite has regular features, is in his early thirties, and has a well-maintained body. The passage of time has given him a mature and steady temperament.

To be honest, as a blind date candidate, the man in front of me is undoubtedly excellent.

"This restaurant has high ratings online and is the number one favorite date restaurant for young people. I asked an acquaintance to reserve a table for me."

Cheng Hao handed the ordering tablet to Lin You in a gentlemanly manner, "Ms. Lin, please order."

Lin You glanced at the prices on the menu and looked up at him in surprise.

Her monthly salary might not even be enough to buy a meal here.

She frowned slightly and said softly, "My cousin said you are in business. Is your business very big?"

Cheng Hao waved his hand, modestly, "It's just a small business."

Those who can afford this kind of consumption are not just those who run small businesses.

"Mr. Cheng, I don't know how my cousin introduced me. But I think I need to explain my actual situation to you."

Lin You said seriously: "My father passed away three years ago. My mother is an obstetrician and gynecologist at a secondary hospital in my hometown. I am currently just an ordinary employee in the logistics department of a company. I have no car, no house, and no savings..."

She finished her words in one breath, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, giving Cheng Hao time to react.

Cheng Hao was silent for a long time, then pointed to the tablet on the table and said, "Let's order first."

"Huh?" Lin You blinked and asked, "Do you still want to eat this meal?"

Her reaction made Cheng Hao chuckle. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Of course. Aren't we here to eat?"

"My cousin may have embellished my conditions. What I mean is... I may not be the right one for you."

Lin You had no choice but to speak bluntly.

Hearing this, Cheng Hao was silent for a long time, and then said sincerely: "Ms. Lin is so honest, so I don't want to deceive you. Coming to this blind date... is indeed not my original intention."

Lin You was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

Given his circumstances, this makes sense.

"But..." Cheng Hao paused, "I don't mind making one more friend."

Lin You had no interest in making friends with people of their class, so he lowered his head and did not respond.

The waiter pushed the food cart over and respectfully announced the name of each dish as it was served.

For two people, he ordered five dishes and a soup. The dishes were exquisite and every leaf of vegetable was carefully selected.

"Please come in, Miss Lin." Cheng Hao said gently.

Lin You responded, ate slowly, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

She has soft eyes and eyebrows, and exudes a tranquility like that of an orchid in a valley. It seems as if she lives in her own world, isolated from all worldly affairs and noise.

Cheng Hao didn't move his chopsticks much, just observed her calmly.

Shi Jingyuan walked out of the private room, went straight through the corridor to the smoking area, took out a cigarette and lit it.

The smoke was enchanting, mixed with a hint of alcohol and drifted out of the window.

The smoking area faces a row of booths by the window, separated only by a few potted shrubs.

Shi Jingyuan immediately saw Lin You, who was concentrating on eating, and sitting opposite her was a person who surprised him a little.

Cheng Hao also noticed Shi Jingyuan.

The two seemed to know each other and nodded to each other as a greeting.

Shi Jingyuan returned to the private room after smoking.

When Lin You and Cheng Hao left the restaurant, the rain had not stopped, but it was gradually easing.

Cheng Hao: "I've got a car. I'll take you there."

Lin You smiled politely, "Thank you, no need to bother, there is a bus stop nearby."

She used respectful titles all the time, with a hint of distance in her voice.

Cheng Hao didn't say much. After saying goodbye to her, he walked towards the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, he looked back and saw Lin You holding an umbrella and walking into the rain.

There is a sense of quiet loneliness in the graceful back.

*

A heavy rain caused the temperature to become strangely changeable. Several colleagues in the department fell ill, and even Manager Hu sneezed several times during the meeting.

After the meeting, Lin You was sent to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

At the company gate, she met He Xuan, who was walking unsteadily.

He was carrying a briefcase and seemed to have just returned from a field trip. His face was abnormally red. When he saw Lin You, he was slow to react and greeted her.

"You are sick, do you know that?" Lin You sighed.

He Xuan was stunned at first, then he raised his head and touched his forehead, "It seems like I have a little fever."

Then, he grinned, "Thank you, Sister Lin, for your concern. Mr. Shi is still waiting for me to take the contract up, so I'll leave first."

He doesn't look like he's going to take a rest.

Lin You hesitated for a moment and called him.

"I'm going to buy medicine for my colleague. If you need it, I can bring you a box?"

"Of course I need it!" He Xuan added before leaving, "Please bring me another box of masks. If I pass the virus on to Mr. Shi, I'm afraid I'll lose my job!"

"……Oh."

The pharmacy is very close, just across the street from the company.

Lin You walked quickly and came back carrying a large transparent plastic bag.

She returned to the department, distributed the medicine to her colleagues, and called He Xuan to ask him to come down to get the medicine.

The call went through, but he didn't answer and quickly sent a message back.

"Sister Lin, I have to go to the PR department for a meeting. Could you please put the medicine at my workstation? No. 18, Administration Department. Please, thank you!"

It was just a piece of cake, Lin You had no reason to refuse.

As a person in the logistics department, Lin You is familiar with the locations of various departments in the company.

The administrative department is on the top floor of the building, separated from the KSH Group President's office by only a corridor.

I don’t know what’s going on at this moment, there is no one in the administrative office.

Lin You found workstation No. 18 by the window. On the table was a photo of He Xuan and a girl of the same age. The two behaved intimately and it was obvious that they were a couple.

She put the cold medicine and mask on the table.

Mission accomplished, getting ready to leave.

"Hey so-and-so... bring in some coffee."

A cold voice came from behind.

Lin You turned around and met Shi Jingyuan who looked a little surprised.

Shi Jingyuan's eyes fell on the table behind her. Seeing the cold medicine, he was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth in sarcasm.

"He Xuan has a girlfriend."

He suddenly said this.

Lin You didn't react for a moment, and it took him a while to understand what he meant.

He thought that she had feelings for He Xuan and wanted to interfere in their relationship?

Lin You instinctively wanted to explain, but he waved his hands.

"Okay, I'm not interested in your business. Coffee, no sugar, and hurry up."

Lin You was not given any chance to speak.

However, it seemed that there was no need for Yuan to explain it to him.

After Lin You figured it out, he said nothing more and calmly went to the tea room to prepare coffee.

A colleague from the secretariat came back and saw Lin You making coffee. After asking him the reason, he thanked him repeatedly.

Only because she took over the job of delivering coffee was Lin You able to get away and return to the department.

In the office, Shi Jingyuan was looking through the group's financial statements.

Hearing a knock on the door, he looked up.

The person who came in to deliver coffee was not Lin You.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. This was the first woman who had the chance but did not approach him.

After taking the coffee, Shi Jingyuan said to his secretary in a calm voice, "I will not tolerate anyone leaving their post without permission next time."
