Chapter 177 Blind Date
7 p.m.

Familiar western restaurant, familiar environment.

This is Lin Xian's third time to dine at this restaurant.

The first time was when he brought Zhao Yingjun, the second time was when he asked Tang Xin to come, and the third time... it was a blind date arranged by Chu Shanhe, and what a coincidence, the place they booked was still this restaurant.

What a bad fate!
This morning, Lin Xian was awakened by a call from Chu Shanhe.

He was still wondering why Chu Shanhe called him. After picking up the phone, Chu Shanhe directly explained his purpose, saying that he had a friend whose daughter was about the same age as Lin Xian, and thought that the two of them were good in all aspects and a good match, so he acted as a matchmaker:
"Lin Xian, you should be dating now. Starting a family and building a career are not in conflict with each other. Instead, they complement each other. You're lonely alone in the East China Sea. My friend's daughter is very pretty and comes from a good family. You're both young people, so you can get to know each other and chat. If it's appropriate, you can try to get along with each other."

what……

It turned out to be an introduction to a date, a blind date.

Lin Xian rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

This was his first blind date in his life. His previous understanding of blind dates basically came from dramatic clips shot on short video platforms. They looked quite intense and terrifying, and could be called an epic tug-of-war game.

In fact, he has no plans to go on a blind date right now.

I'm already busy with things around me, with so many troubles to be solved, and I'm even in danger. How can I have the mind to do this?
However, it was hard to refuse Chu Shanhe's kindness, and I really didn't have a suitable reason to refuse; Chu Shanhe, who was of a high status, was kind enough to introduce him to a girl, and it would be a bit embarrassing for me to refuse without even meeting her.

In the East China Sea, I am still far from developing myself. From all aspects, there is no harm in having a better relationship with Chu Shanhe.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xian agreed.

Anyway, to put it bluntly, a blind date is just a meal between strangers of both sexes. No one forces you to get married after the meal, you just need to go through the motions.

"Hahahaha, OK, Lin Xian." Chu Shanhe on the other end of the phone was very happy to hear Lin Xian's response:
"Let's set the time for 7pm. I've already booked a restaurant for you. The entire second floor is reserved. Just chat there and order whatever you want. Don't worry about anything."

"You don't have to worry too much. Whether this will work out depends on how you get along. If you think it's a good match, then talk about it. If it's not suitable, don't be embarrassed. I'm just trying to connect you two."

Lin Xian also understood what Chu Shanhe meant.

He still respects you very much, so don't feel embarrassed to refuse him because of his face. If you don't like him, just express your opinion directly.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xian scratched his head.

He felt like he was not very good at rejecting others... he was too easily influenced.

Gao Yang has always said that Lin Xian is a kind-hearted person since he was a child, but in fact, birds of a feather flock together. The two are similar in this respect, so they can get along well and have good popularity.

I took another nap.

After getting up and washing up, Lin Xian went straight to this familiar Western restaurant.

When he had dinner with Zhao Yingjun and Tang Xin before, they all sat on the first floor and had never been to the second floor.

After arriving at the second floor, I found that the layout and decoration were actually the same as the first floor, except that the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows gave me a wider view. Especially the position near the window, I could overlook the entire street view outside.

Seeing Lin Xian coming up, the store manager immediately went to greet him attentively:

"Hello, Mr. Lin. President Chu has already made all the arrangements. The entire second floor is reserved for you tonight. If you need anything, just let me know."

Lin Xian nodded.

Looking at the watch, it’s actually already seven o’clock... This blind date girl is not very punctual.

However, it is peak traffic season in Donghai now, so it is understandable that you are a little late.

He had nothing to do, so he turned his head and looked out the window at the traffic that was constantly driving into the hotel parking lot.

It is already early spring in March, the daytime hours are getting longer, and at seven o'clock the sun has just completely set in the sky, and the dark night is slowly falling.

The restaurant was doing very well, with all kinds of luxury cars entering and the first floor quickly filling up. And just as the store manager said, no one came up to the second floor, the place was completely reserved.

at last.

When the sky outside was completely dark, all the lights in the restaurant were turned on, and Lin Xian's phone was getting hot from watching videos...

Finally, the sound of footsteps could be heard on the spiral escalator leading to the second floor.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da, a slow pace.

A head of bright yellow hair emerged first, followed by a big bubble that was blown up and burst in the air with a pop, and a hot young girl in cool clothes walked up.

Peaked cap, white T-shirt, thin clothes, denim shorts...

Lin Xian suddenly saw Xia Tian.

squeak-

She walked straight to Lin Xian's desk, pulled out a chair, and sat across from him with her legs crossed:
"You are Lin Xian, right?"

Lin Xian nodded:
"Hello, Susu."

Even though the other party was half an hour late, Lin Xian didn't care. Everyone has problems on the road.

The store manager who had been waiting for a long time immediately came forward with a smile and personally handed the menus to the two.

Lin Xian took the menu and passed it to Su Su:

"What do you want to eat--" "We are not suitable." Su Su said directly.

……

ha?
Lin Xian looked at the girl in front of him.

Is the efficiency of blind dating so high now?

The store manager next to him was also very embarrassed. He looked at Su Su on the left and Lin Xian on the right, not knowing what to say...

He has seen all kinds of blind dates here, but he has never seen such a fast-paced one!
"Then...are you still ordering food?"

Lin Xian felt a lot more relaxed instead.

He was in a dilemma just now, not knowing how to reject the other party and how to handle the matter in a way that would not hurt anyone and would also be acceptable to Chu Shanhe.

It's easier now.

The other party didn't even like him, and Lin Xian almost shouted "Long live" in his heart.

Perfect solution!

Su Su picked up her cell phone and took a bunch of pictures of Lin Xian, the surroundings, and the store manager who was serving as a waiter, as if she was collecting evidence, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he stood up and waved to Lin Xian:

"Bye~"

After saying that, she picked up her handbag, stood up, and left quickly.

"..." "..."

Lin Xian and the store manager looked at each other in bewilderment.

We came and went in a hurry. I never expected that my first blind date in life would end so successfully.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin, you're here now! Why don't you finish your dinner before going back?"

"Too."

Lin Xian directly ordered a few dishes that he had thought tasted good before, and returned the menu to the manager: "That's all."

……

at this time.

The lobby on the first floor was packed with people, and there was even a queue.

At the door, an Alpha business car parked in front of the reception desk. The driver got out and opened the door. Zhao Yingjun walked out wearing high heels.

The manager on the first floor immediately came over:
"Miss Zhao, you are here!"

Miss Zhao came here frequently during this period and recharged a lot of money. The person who handled the matter at that time was this manager. He received a lot of commissions and of course remembered this God of Wealth.

only……

Today, he looked embarrassed and explained to Zhao Yingjun who had just got off the car:
"If you had contacted me in advance, I would have saved a seat for you... Now the place is full and you have to wait a long time to get a number. I suggest that you change restaurants today, Miss Zhao."

"No room left?" Zhao Yingjun raised his eyebrows.

"No way? When we turned here, the driver took a special look and saw that the second floor was empty. How could there be no seats?"

The manager bowed and smiled embarrassedly:

"Ms. Zhao, the entire second floor restaurant is booked today... Only the first floor area is open to the public. I'm so sorry."

"We just received the news that we wanted to book the restaurant at noon... If you really want to dine here today, how about I get you a number and call you when we're almost there?"

Private venue?

Zhao Yingjun snorted and crossed his arms.

Such a big deal... It must be some young man from the East China Sea who wants to make his girlfriend laugh? Or maybe it's to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday or something:

“It’s really romantic.”

She complained and looked at the crowd walking out of the restaurant.

Those were probably diners who couldn't wait and didn't want to stay any longer. The most eye-catching one was the blond girl who left quickly, blowing bubble gum and wearing cool hot pants.

"Then let's go too." Zhao Yingjun looked at his driver with a smile:
"I won't disturb other people's fun today."

She turned around and got into the Alpha, and the driver got in and drove towards the exit.

Through the car window, Zhao Yingjun turned his head and looked at the brightly lit second floor of the restaurant...

As expected, it was empty, with only a man sitting at the table closest to the window, a... figure that looked more and more familiar the more I looked!
"parking!"

Zhao Yingjun rolled down the car window and squinted at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the restaurant.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are transparent, allowing a clear view of the entire restaurant interior.

I was definitely not seeing things!

There was only one man sitting in the restaurant on the second floor! And that familiar silhouette was none other than his secretary.

【Lin Xian】!
What's going on?
Zhao Yingjun blinked, very confused.

What is Lin Xian doing?
Booking an entire restaurant... that's not like his style.

She thought that after being together for so long, she knew Lin Xian very well. He was very low-key and would never be like those dandy boys who would spend a lot of money to book a theater.

"Go park the car, I'll go up and take a look."

After giving instructions to the driver, Zhao Yingjun picked up her handbag, got out of the car, entered the restaurant and went to the second floor.

……

At the same time, the restaurant parking lot.

The red McLaren's scissor doors were raised, and Su Su got in while talking on the phone. She clamped the phone between her neck and shoulders and talked to her female companion:

"I'm done here, I'll come find you."

"You're too fast, big sister!" The female voice on the other end of the phone exclaimed:
"Didn't you just say you were going in for a blind date? How come you came out after just a few minutes!"

"Haha, I just said straight out that we're not suitable, and then I ran away!" Su Su laughed proudly:

"I even took photos as evidence! Anyway, my sister just asked me to come for a blind date, and then unfrozen my card. I came for the blind date, so it's normal that I didn't like the other person, right? In short... a perfect solution!"

"Ahahaha..." On the other end of the phone, the female companion laughed awkwardly:
"You're making it too awkward! At least have a meal with him before you leave! If you do this, the guy will definitely be very sad and disappointed."

"Why would I care about him so much?"

Su Su chewed bubble gum and recalled the gentle boy just now:
"But... that boy does look very quiet, and he might be a bit sensitive."

"Hahaha, why don't you go over and comfort them!"

"What a joke!" Su Su started the roaring McLaren with a bang, turned his head and looked at the glass floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the restaurant:

"Let him be sad, he will surely be fine after a while."

Su Su spurted out!
The bubble gum sprayed out and hit the front windshield, sticking tightly!
"Fuck!"

She widened her eyes:
"What a jerk! He's dating two people on blind dates at the same time!?"

In Su Su's sight... in the huge second-floor restaurant, at a small table by the window, Lin Xian was still sitting there.

But the difference is!
On the chair where his butt hadn't even warmed up yet, there was now a dignified and beautiful woman sitting!

The woman was also dressed very elegantly, and it was obvious that she was here for a blind date!
The most annoying thing is...

Lin Xian on the other side was still chatting and laughing with this woman, having a great time! Even the waiter started serving the dishes!

What kind of blind date banquet is this?

There are girls lining up downstairs to go up one by one? This guy is choosing a concubine! Do you think you are the emperor?
"Down!"

Su Su retched:
"I'm so sick! Damn, I'm a spare tire!"

"What's going on, Su Su?" the female companion on the phone asked.

"My blind date! He actually arranged a blind date with another girl today! Oh my god... I thought this kind of thing could only be seen in novels, but today I really encountered it!"

"Huh? Really!"

"That's right! I can see it clearly from downstairs right now! I just went downstairs for a few minutes and the second blind date candidate came up! This guy is really a master of time management and never wastes a minute!"

"Haha, you're being cheated on."

"Green head! I was fooled!"

boom!
Su Su got out of the car angrily, slammed the door, and strode back to the restaurant.

Annoying!

So annoying!

"Hang up!" She hung up the phone angrily, and walked away while glaring at the couple who were talking and laughing by the glass window on the second floor:
"If I can get you two to talk today... my last name is not Su!"
