I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?
Chapter 8 Retreating to Advance
Xu Mengyun stared in shock at the face in front of her.
I still remember the first time we met, your face was so pale...
Moreover, he coughed up blood at the time, which meant he was probably not going to live much longer.
Of course, she wasn't cursing the man; she just found it strange.
Lin Tian never expected to run into his first blind date here. He panicked, but he knew he couldn't escape it.
Since we can't escape it, let's face it!
"Ms. Xu, what a coincidence! Is this the school where you work?"
Xu Mengyun nodded and proudly agreed, "Yes."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
So young, and already a high school teacher? That shows how capable she is.
Lin Tian didn't have time to feel sentimental, and chuckled lightly: "Actually, last time... I was lying to you."
"Lied to me?"
Xu Mengyun blinked, somewhat surprised.
Her surprise stemmed from the fact that Lin Tian could lie!
And can you just casually say you're sick?
"Yes, my mother forced me to go on blind dates. She threatened to kill myself if I didn't go. I had no choice."
Lin Tian gave a seemingly calm reply.
But inside, I was in a complete panic.
He prayed in his heart that God wouldn't take his words seriously; he didn't want his words to come true!
Xu Mengyun nodded knowingly, but then raised a question, "Then why did you cough up blood...?"
"I had a bit of pneumonia back then, it was quite serious, but I'm better now."
It's almost healed.
As long as the system frequently assigns him tasks and he receives lifespan extension cards each time, living to be several hundred years old is no problem for him.
Xu Mengyun's smile instantly brightened.
"It's good that you're getting better! I forgot to exchange contact information with you last time. You came with your younger brother, right? If you don't mind, let's exchange contact information. We can discuss things later."
Seeing that Xu Mengyun had no suspicions, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, opened his phone, scanned the QR code, and handed it over.
However, he did not delve into the meaning of Xu Mengyun's 'discussion'.
What he saw was that after Xu Mengyun successfully exchanged contact information with him, her girlish, lovestruck expression was the same as when she first met him on their blind date.
Xu Mengyun wanted to exchange pleasantries with Lin Tian, but was called away by a colleague in the distance.
Her cheeks flushed, and she waved goodbye to him with reluctance.
"Mr. Lin, see you next time."
Lin Tian nodded and said goodbye.
In a daze, she could hear her colleague deliberately teasing her as she linked arms with Xu Mengyun: "Who is this, Mengyun? Is he your boyfriend?"
Xu Mengyun lowered her head shyly, neither denying nor admitting it.
Lin Tian didn't linger. Urged on by Liang Chuan's phone call, he immediately turned around and followed his directions toward his classroom.
After leaving the parent-teacher meeting, Lin Tian stretched and yawned.
Liang Chuan jogged to catch up with him and stretched, mimicking his movements.
"You kid, you're actually in the top ten in the whole school. I'm teaching you math, and you think I'm just wasting my time?"
Liang Chuan immediately shook his head, without even thinking, "Of course not!"
Just one second.
Liang Chuan lowered his head, unsure of what to say.
He has always been an introverted and bookish good boy, and it is precisely because of his simple mind that he is easily deceived.
Lin Tian laughed and bumped into Liang Chuan's shoulder. "You kid, don't overthink it. I was just joking. Let's go! We got such good news today, let's go have dinner and then explain the situation to President Liang."
"it is good!"
Lin Tian and Liang Chuan walked side by side.
Following closely behind was Xu Mengyun, who had just seen Lin Tian. She tried to call out to him, but it was too late, and she could only sigh helplessly.
It seems I'll have to wait until next time to ask him out.
Xu Mengyun turned her head away, clearly in a bad mood.
...
Therefore, Liang Guoqing valued Lin Tian highly regarding Liang Chuan's affairs.
This important mock exam has already indicated that Liang Chuan's future is definitely bright; he will definitely be able to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University.
During Liang Chuan's holiday, Lin Tian also returned to work at the company.
Originally, it was thought that Liang Chuan would choose to travel or go back to his mother's place, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask Liang Guoqing to join the company to help out and learn.
Liang Guoqing was very pleased and asked him to assist Lin Tian.
Liang Chuan, on the other hand, wore an expression of delight.
That day, Liang Guoqing sat in his office with a headache, rubbing his head and pondering how to resolve the matter.
Having witnessed Liang Guoqing's plight, Liang Chuan casually mentioned it to Lin Tian during lunch.
Lin Tian ate his sweet and sour pork and said, "Huh? With so many people in the company, isn't there even one who can meet the boss's needs?"
"That's what I told my dad too, but he meant that this matter is very tricky, mainly because he had already reached an agreement with Dongcheng Company."
"But unexpectedly, just as construction was about to begin, the construction workers went on strike one by one, saying that the previous project payment and Dongcheng's wages had not yet been paid, and they did not want to work. But my father said that the previous project payment had already been paid, and he did not know what went wrong."
"Did Mr. Liang investigate?"
Liang Chuan was stunned, then shook his head: "Judging from my father's expression, he probably didn't investigate."
Lin Tian's eyes darted around quickly, and he instantly came up with a solution.
Regardless, given the current situation, we have to try everything.
"Then let's eat quickly, and then we'll go and talk to General Manager Liang."
Liang Chuan was stunned, but under Lin Tian's urging, he quickly ate his rice.
When Lin Tian and Liang Chuan practically burst into the office, Liang Guoqing was sitting wearily at his workstation, his head throbbing. He hadn't even touched the food his secretary had brought him.
This shows anxiety.
"dad!"
Liang Chuan stepped forward with concern, opened the lunchbox, and handed it to Liang Guoqing: "No matter how troublesome things are, Dad, you have to eat. Don't overwork yourself."
Liang Guoqing raised his dark eyes and sighed.
"Given this situation, how could I possibly eat anything..."
Lin Tian pulled up a chair and sat down beside him, his eyes serious: "President Liang, Xiao Chuan has already told me about your situation. I've been thinking about it, and I'm wondering if there's a problem with the internal management of Dongcheng?"
"What do you mean?"
Liang Guoqing looked up and stared at Lin Tian, puzzled.
Even Liang Chuan, who was standing next to him, looked at Lin Tian with a surprised expression.
"If you are certain that your project funds have indeed been disbursed, then it can only be due to internal embezzlement."
"Internal embezzlement?"
He hadn't thought of that.
"Or perhaps they deliberately withhold workers' wages, trying to exploit them..." Lin Tian analyzed seriously, but when he felt Liang Chuan's astonished gaze, he smiled and said, "I'm just guessing, without any actual reason to verify it. I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, it will be hard to convince people."
