Chapter 31 Don’t Like Me

The restaurant is on a high floor of the building. There were so many customers that it was almost full.

Of course, the price is quite expensive.

Zhong Yun and Meng Jiaen sat by the window, with a wide view overlooking the city buildings below. This should be one of the best seats in this restaurant.

It must have been booked in advance by Meng Jiaen.

He took a look at the menu and found it a bit too expensive. In the restaurant, many people were seen taking photos of the food on the table with their cell phones.

"Just order it."

He pushed the menu to Meng Jiaen. He really couldn't bring himself to order something so expensive.

Meng Jiaen ordered a few things, such as tiramisu, mousse cake, matcha cake...

He couldn't listen any longer and reminded, "Order so much, can you finish it?"

She said, "Take a few back to Sister Wan."

Zhong Yun was a little surprised that she also understood the ways of the world.

After a while, several exquisitely shaped cakes were brought up.

He took a bite and felt that it was no different from the ones he bought from the cake shop for more than ten yuan each.

No, there is a slight difference. This one is not as sweet. He thinks it is not as good as the ones sold in the street cake shops.

Meng Jiaen looked at him expectantly, "How is it?"

Zhong Yun couldn't bear the look of eagerness to share the delicious food he found with others, so he could only make a comment against his will, "Yeah, it's delicious."

Before he went to college, this behavior was called hypocrisy.

Now it’s called high emotional intelligence.

Meng Jiaen said with a smile, "I knew you would like it. A few days ago, my friends and I came here to eat once, so I thought of bringing you here to try this."

When she smiled, her eyes curved slightly, looking delicate and charming. Zhong Yun felt his eyes flash and could clearly sense her joy at that moment.

He suddenly thought of what she had said fiercely in the garage just now, "Don't make me beg you."

Zhong Yun put down the fork in his hand and finally couldn't help asking the question in his heart, "Why do you want to bring me here to taste the cake?"

To be honest, he was pretty good looking, and when he was in middle school, more than one girl had a crush on him.

When you go to college, you can easily find a girlfriend who is above your level.

However, in society, being a bit handsome is no longer good enough.

He would never think that Meng Jiaen was attracted to him.

Therefore, he couldn't understand why this young lady came to see him again and again, which made him suspect that she had some conspiracy.

While eating the tiramisu in front of him, Meng Jiaen said as a matter of course, "Aren't we brothers?"

Pronounced as "ge mei", she probably treats him as her best friend.

Seriously, who would want to meet up for afternoon tea?
Zhong Yun asked again, "Why do you treat me as a buddy?"

Meng Jiaen paused, thought for a moment, and then gave an answer, "Because you never take advantage of me."

Zhong Yun was very suspicious that she was implying something about him.

"It seems that you don't know me at all. I have long been shameless and will never let go of any bargain that comes to my door."

Meng Jiaen continued, "Also, you don't treat me as a beautiful woman."

This is in Versailles, this is definitely in Versailles.

This sentence is like saying, "It's so annoying. I'm so beautiful, and those stinky men are swarming around me like flies. Why can't any man treat me like an ordinary person?"

Zhong Yun said seriously, "Actually, I'm face-blind. I can't tell what's beautiful or ugly."

"real or fake?"

Meng Jiaen was skeptical, but soon realized that he was talking nonsense. She rolled her eyes at him and warned him, "You are not allowed to like me, otherwise, we won't even be friends anymore."

Zhong Yun suddenly realized, "I see, it turns out you have a masochistic tendency."

Meng Jiaen pouted and said, "You are the one with masochistic tendencies. I hate falling in love. Women will be unlucky and unhappy as long as they fall in love. Therefore, anyone who likes me and wants to fall in love with me wants to harm me. They are my enemies!"

Zhong Yun praised, "They are indeed young people of the new era, their thinking is at least one version ahead of the times."

But what I was thinking in my heart was that she was indeed not normal.

Of course, in the eyes of his parents, he was also not normal.

This is a generation gap, he can understand it.

……

On the way back, Zhong Yun thought of something, "Does President Su know that you are the one who went on a blind date with me?"

Meng Jiaen shook her head and said, "I asked her, but she didn't know. My aunt must have lied to her." "So, your aunt deliberately arranged for you and me to go on a blind date?"

"Ah."

"Why did she do this?"

"She thought I was a lesbian. So she tried her best to introduce me to a boyfriend. She started arranging blind dates for me right after I graduated from college..."

Zhong Yun turned his head to look at her and asked, "Is it you?"

"I repeat, I don't fall in love, no matter if the object is a man or a woman - no, what are you disappointed about?"

"I do not have."

……

After Meng Jiaen returned to the company, she carried two cakes to Su Wan's office. After pushing the door open, she said, "Sister Wan, I brought you some snacks. Come and try them."

A smile appeared on Su Wan's slightly tired face, and she said, "You are so thoughtful. You even brought me some food."

"Sister Wan, you work so hard, of course you need to replenish your energy."

"Half is enough. This is too high in calories."

Su Wan was indeed tired, so she took the opportunity to take a rest.

During the conversation, Meng Jiaen mentioned Zhong Yun subtly, "Sister Wan, your driver is pretty good. Where did you find him?"

"Why, you want to poach him? He's my lifesaver, don't think of targeting him."

Meng Jiaen was very surprised and asked quickly, "He saved your life? When did it happen?"

Su Wan said, "It was a year ago. I was driving in the middle of the night and accidentally fell asleep, and drove the car into the river..."

She recounted the story of how Zhong Yun rescued her from a car accident a year ago.

Meng Jiaen vaguely remembered that this happened. She had heard her aunt mention it. Unexpectedly, it was Zhong Yun who saved her life.

She said a little dissatisfiedly, "Sister Wan, he saved your life, so you let him be your driver?"

In her opinion, such a reward is far from enough.

Zhong Yun saved Su Wan's life, so he should at least be given a better job and a large sum of money...

When Su Wan saw her express her indignation in person, she felt in her heart that it was great to be young and have a simple sense of justice.

She said, "He looks like he doesn't care about anything, but he is actually a person with strong self-esteem. Although he is short of money, he has principles and will not accept gifts that are too expensive."

Meng Jiaen thought about it and felt that this was indeed in line with his personality.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and Secretary Lin's voice came, "Mr. Su, the meeting is about to start."

Without waiting for Su Wan to speak, Meng Jiaen left on her own.

……

A sneeze!

Zhong Yunlian sneezed several times and rubbed his itchy nose, "Did you catch a cold?"

He picked up the cup and took a few sips of hot water to warm himself.

At this time, the door of the reception room opened, Chaozi poked his head in and said excitedly, "Brother Yun, something happened, someone is going to jump off the building."

Zhong Yun was a little helpless. No, why did you come here to tell me what to do? I still want to write.

He hesitated for three seconds, then put away his phone and decided to go and see what was going on.

I can write the words at night, but if I miss the fun, it will be gone.

He actually got to the point of wanting to jump off the building. This must be no small matter. I don’t know if he is from our company or from another company.

As Zhong Yun walked out, he asked Chaozi, "How do you know someone jumped off the building?"

"Someone posted it to the group, and it seems to be related to our company. Both CEO Jiang and CEO Jiang went up there, trying to persuade the person to come down. Brother Yun, go up there and take a look first, and tell me what's going on later."

Chaozi didn't dare to leave his work post during working hours, and only Zhong Yun, who had plenty of free time, could go and watch the fun at this time.

"Row."

Zhong Yun took the elevator all the way to the top floor. When he reached the rooftop, he heard the voice of CEO Jiang An, "...Don't be impulsive. We can discuss anything. Can you come down first?"

Then, a woman's voice came out, "I won't get down. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will jump from here!"

This voice sounds familiar.

Zhong Yun walked to the rooftop and saw that it was indeed her.

It was the widow of his neighbor.
