When Fu Cheng, with his injured hand and bearing the bruises of three slaps, went to the company, Lu Shiyi was enjoying a rare moment of relaxation in the study hall.

The project was successfully completed this morning, and her salary has now been credited to her account. Since the study hall is not busy right now, she searched for a recent popular movie to relax.

The busier you are normally, the more relaxed and enjoyable it will be now.

She originally wanted to watch TV dramas, but that was too extravagant; she didn't have that much time to follow them.

She was just relaxing for a little while; she was going to a cocktail party with her best friend later.

Yesterday I called my best friend Tangtang to talk about celebrating, but she suggested that Lu Shiyi accompany her to a cocktail party today, and then invite Yaoyao to a place near her sister's apartment complex tomorrow for the three of them to celebrate together.

Lu Shiyi was watching half of a movie when Tang Yiran arrived.

She looked up at the doorway and saw her best friend, with exquisite makeup and a fitted long dress, walk in.

Her already beautiful figure was accentuated to be even more graceful.

Lu Shiyi rarely saw her friend dressed so formally, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She knew her best friend too well; dressed like that, she'd probably just been given a lecture at home.

Seeing her friend's expression, Tang Yiran lifted her skirt, strode over to Lu Shiyi, and plopped down on the floor.

"Eleven, I'm already like this, and you're still making fun of me. If you keep laughing, I'll get angry."

Lu Shiyi stopped smiling and said seriously, "You look very beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you. You should wear this more often so I can feast my eyes on you."

"Tch, if you want to feast your eyes, just put up a mirror in your study room and look at yourself every day. You can feast your eyes every day. You don't need me."

Tang Yiran touched her stomach, which was tightly wrapped in her dress, and said with a sigh, "We agreed to go out and have a good time eating together, but how can I eat dressed like this?"

Last night, when Lu Shiyi heard about the cocktail party, she initially refused, especially after hearing from her friend that it was a high-class event only for wealthy and upper-class people in Nanshi.

That kind of occasion was too far removed from her life; she had absolutely no interest in it and didn't want to participate.

However, unable to resist his friend's persistent pleading and the temptation of a good meal and drinks, he finally agreed.

The two agreed that once they arrived, they would simply eat.

Anyway, as long as you don't try to fit into that high society circle, those billionaires and all that stuff have nothing to do with you. They're just ordinary people like you, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, so you'll naturally feel much more at ease.

Tang Yiran was overjoyed when she learned that her friend had agreed to go.

But today, when she was about to leave, her mother forced her to change into a fitted dress, knowing that she would eat and drink without caring about her image and forget about her important business.

Seeing her friend's melancholy expression, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but tease her, "It's okay, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you!"

Tang Yiran angrily slapped Lu Shiyi's arm, "Hmph, you're trying to provoke me."

Then, she complained to herself, "My parents are really something. I already went along with the blind date, why did they have to put on this party? And to make matters worse, they dressed like this, not letting me enjoy myself. There were plenty of eligible bachelors at the party, but don't they realize that anyone who shows up at a place like that is a bachelor? Even if they are, they're all eligible bachelors. Would they be interested in a woman like me who has no ambition and is carefree? Don't people always look for a strong-willed match? Besides, I'm not so old that I can't get married, why are they in such a hurry? Hmph!"

Lu Shiyi, standing to the side, touched his arm, which was a little numb from being patted by his friend, and comforted him, "Your aunt and uncle are probably worried that the older you get, the fewer choices you'll have, so they're anxious."

However, although she comforted her friend in this way, she didn't really understand why she chose to get married in a flash because her parents were anxious and kept urging her to go on blind dates.

In fact, Tang Yiran and Lu Shiyi are about the same age. When she first graduated from university, her parents were not in such a hurry, but when she had been out of school for almost three years and there was still no news, they couldn't sit still anymore.

It is said that the three years after graduation is a critical period. If you are not married or have a partner within three years, you will most likely get married late, or even as late as your thirties.

I guess so. Three years after graduation, those who managed to reconcile with their college sweethearts have already gotten married, and those who haven't are unlikely to end up together.

Three years after graduation, one's job is basically stable, and one's social circle is also relatively fixed. If there is someone one likes, they would have started dating long ago. If not, then there is basically no chance.

Therefore, the only option left is blind dating, which is why online dating sites have become so popular in recent years.

Lu Shiyi thought that this kind of problem only existed in ordinary people like her who came from ordinary backgrounds. She never expected that parents from wealthy families would be so anxious.

It seems that all parents are the same when it comes to their children.

After complaining for a while, Tang Yiran felt much better. She glanced at the time and said, "Let's go on the 11th."

She drove a Porsche today, which was at her parents' request. They told her to wear appropriate gear for different occasions, which wasn't snobbish, but rather basic principles of conduct.

When Lu Shiyi went out and saw his friend's new car, he jokingly remarked, "It's great to have a wealthy friend. You get to ride in a luxury car and have a lavish meal."

Tang Yiran unlocked the car, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. "Your friend only serves her dearest Lu Shiyi."

As he spoke, he fastened his seatbelt, and after Lu Shiyi sat in the passenger seat, he started the car.

Although she was wearing a formal dress, she was wearing sneakers, while the high heels that went with the dress were placed on the back seat.

Since the accident with the Bentley, Tang Yiran has become much more cautious while driving, and she keeps in mind and strictly follows any rules that may affect driving safety.

Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Fu Group.

He Ze was knocking on the CEO's office door, reminding his boss that it was time to head out to the cocktail party.

The sound of "enter" was slightly muffled.

He Ze pushed open the door and walked to Fu Cheng's desk. "Old Fu, it's time to go."

As they were talking, she inadvertently glanced at Fu Cheng's hand and exclaimed, "Oh my, what happened to the back of your hand? It's covered in purple!"

Fu Cheng flipped his hand over to cover the bruise, glared at He Ze, and thought to himself: You still have the nerve to ask? I asked you to drink, and you just kept pouring drinks for me.

He didn't respond, but directly changed the subject back to the party, saying, "I don't have time, you can attend this kind of event."

He Ze got anxious, "This party is for you. If you don't go, even if ten of me go, it won't make a difference."

Fu Cheng frowned. Although He Ze's words were somewhat exaggerated, they were not without reason. This party was hosted by an important client, and he had to give them some face.

However, although he had decided to go, he did not say anything, but instead looked at He Ze with feigned determination.

He Ze's heart sank when he saw the message. "You really aren't going? If you don't go, I'll have to attend social events. If I have to attend social events, how will I ever have a chance to find a girlfriend?"

"Old Fu, as your right-hand man and capable assistant, I feel it's necessary to remind you that while an employee's ability is important, their emotional state is equally important. You don't want me to grow old alone and be your slave for the rest of my life, do you?"

Fu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, "That was a cocktail party, not a blind date."

"But for a single guy who's disliked by everyone, blind dates don't discriminate based on the occasion. What if you happen to run into one?"

He Ze argued earnestly and logically...
