The location of the blind date was a well-known coffee shop in the city. In terms of style and environment, it should be considered very good.
When Su Chen and Wang Ye arrived, there was no one in the reserved private room.
"What time did you and Xu Ruyu…no, Ding Yi meet?”Su Chen asked as he glanced at the time on his phone. It was 10:27.
"10:30." Wang Ye said.
"Then we're screwed. Girls who go on blind dates like to be late, especially girls with excellent conditions. They deliberately came half an hour late because of their status to grind your patience.”Su Chen shook his head and sighed.
"Where did you find out all this?" Wang Ye said gloomily.
"An urban youth idol drama." Su Chen smiled.
Wang Ye's face darkened.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the private room. After the door was pushed open, a tall young woman walked in.
She was dressed rather formally in a white shirt and a black dress, which simply outlined her graceful curves. She wore a pair of frameless glasses on her fair face with light makeup, and her short black hair fell past her ears. She did not give people a stunning feeling, but she could barely be considered beautiful. However, her shrewd and capable temperament and calm demeanor were enough to leave a deep impression on people.
Su Chen could guess that she was definitely an elite in the workplace the moment he saw her.
The brand of the western dress showed her financial ability, and her sharp eyes showed her habits. She wore a black suit to the blind date, revealing her busyness and strictness.
"Ding Yi?" From her facial features, Su Chen could barely find Xu Ruyu's shadow from five years ago.
After the young woman walked into the private room, she only glanced at it indifferently before locking her gaze on Wang Ye.
Yes, it was just a glance. The process of sizing Su Chen up only took two seconds at most.
Su Chen had a feeling that she had already guessed what kind of person he was with just a casual glance.
The young woman stretched out a hand to Wang Ye and said softly,"Wang Ye, hello, I'm Ding Yi. It's been four years and seven months, right?”
Wang Ye shook her hand in astonishment,"You remember it so clearly."
Ding Yi retracted her hand and nodded slightly."The last time we met was three days before the graduation party, in the classroom next door.”
"I can't remember." Wang Ye shook his head.
Ding Yi's expression was calm." It's nothing. Just treat it as getting to know each other again. Today's blind date was arranged by my father. He asked me to meet you.”
Then, she looked at Su Chen with her cold eyes."If I remember correctly, you're Su Chen, right? You haven't changed much since then.”
Su Chen smiled." But you've changed a lot.”
Ding Yi didn't say anything. She sat down elegantly and said seriously,"I don't like to waste time, and I don't have much time to waste.”
Wang Ye coughed,"You're still as straightforward as in high school."”
"I'm used to it." Ding Yi shook her head and said," When I go on a blind date, I invite my friends to accompany me to help observe and give suggestions. I have two friends who will be arriving later, but I don't think it's necessary. Although I've never been in a relationship before, I'm still very confident in my judgment.”
She looked at Su Chen again." As for you, Su Chen, you don't have to spend time observing me.”
Su Chen was stunned.
However, he immediately understood why she said she didn't need it.
" My name is Ding Yi, and my former name is Xu Ruyu. I was born on April 6, 1992, and I'm 24 years old this year. I have no romantic experience or bad habits. I'm currently working as the Human Resources Director of Huatai Group, and my average monthly salary is more than 60,000 yuan. I'm currently on the rise in my career. If you're really willing to register your marriage with me, I hope that you won't hold a wedding within a year and that you won't have children within five years.”
Su Chen was a little speechless. This woman should be one of those career maniacs. She had a strong ability to read people, excellent logical thinking, and was confident and independent. Perhaps she had a personality. Cold.
Wang Ye was stunned when he heard that. After Ding Yi and his wife calmly stared at him for a long time, he coughed and said,"You're really clear."
"Since it's a blind date, I think we should be honest with each other.”
Ding Yi nodded slightly and said,"After you're done talking about me, it's your turn. Wang Ye, I've also understood you. In addition to your performance and actions just now, it proves that your personality is normal. Your psychological quality is above average, your family background is well-off, and you have a wide network. If you're willing to work hard, you'll at least have a place in the city bureau in the future, which meets my marriage standards."”
"This…isn't this a little too fast?”Wang Ye coughed again and secretly gave Su Chen a look.
Su Chen couldn't be bothered with him. This young prince was a fearless person. If he really didn't like Ding Yi, he would have rejected him long ago. Why would he need his help?
It was because he was really moved that Wang Ye was like this. At most, he was just a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, Wang Ye's type happened to be intellectual strong women, especially those who wore glasses. Su Chen could guess with his knees that Wang Ye was really tempted.
"Wang Ye,"
Ding Yi said calmly," From the moment I entered the room, you coughed three times. The first two times were to ease the atmosphere. Perhaps my way of handling things brought pressure to you. I'm sorry, but the cough just now was to get Su Chen to speak up for you. Actually, you didn't have to do that. I can see that you don't reject me. You're just not used to it. It's okay. I can give you time."”
"Then let's get along for a while?" Wang Ye asked carefully.
"Get along…Hmm, you can decide how you want to go on a date. You just need to spend no more than two hours a day. From Monday to Friday, it must be after 6:30 p. m. On weekends, except for 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the rest of the time is fine.”Ding Yi nodded.
Su Chen's mouth twitched. If he hadn't heard what Ding Yi said, he wouldn't have guessed that the two of them were on a blind date. They should be discussing business or work.
Rules, rigor, clarity, and conciseness were like a ruler.
"Looks like you don't need me. The two of you can chat slowly. I won't be a third wheel.”Su Chen stood up and patted Wang Ye's shoulder, planning to leave.
"Su Chen, you haven't graduated yet, right?”Ding Yi said with a serious expression,"You can come to me to give it a try after you graduate. If it's suitable, you can start from the bottom. You're Wang Ye's good friend, so you're naturally mine."”
"Your eyes are very sharp. How did you know that I haven't graduated and that I'm going to work at your place in the future?”Su Chen smiled and asked curiously.
"You're about to graduate. To be precise, you should be preparing to start your internship, but you're not," Ding Yi said lightly."First of all, I can't find the slightest feeling of being beaten by the workplace from you. Secondly, your clothes are still at the level of an ordinary university student, which means that your income is very low. Moreover, it's working hours now. No matter how good your relationship with Wang Ye is, he wouldn't ask you to take leave to sit here.”
Wang Ye frowned, feeling that Ding Yi's words were a little hurtful. Just as he was about to turn around and comfort Su Chen, he saw Su Chen smile instead.
"Your analysis is very interesting." Su Chen smiled and nodded.
"However, there's one thing I don't understand.”
Ding Yi narrowed his eyes slightly." With your current situation, a young man with an ordinary family background and no income should more or less feel inferior when facing other successful peers. However, not only do I not find any inferiority in you, but I also find you very strange.”
Su Chen was really surprised. He could not help but ask,"Strange?"
Ding Yi said," Maybe you didn't realize it yourself. When I told you my monthly salary, your micro-expression told me that you didn't care about my salary at all. I really want to know if my guess was right or wrong.”
"You are really amazing." Su Chen nodded in approval.
Ding Yi said softly," There are only two kinds of people who would behave like this. One is the rich who look down on my salary, and the other is the people who are indifferent to fame and wealth and have given up on fighting spirit. You're obviously not the first kind, so it can only be the second kind.”
Su Chen blinked. Indifferent to fame and fortune? Do you think I'm an expert?
She shook her head slightly and sighed." It's really strange. You're only in your twenties, but you've already lost your fighting spirit and competitiveness. Usually, people who have suffered a major blow will be like this. But you look normal. I don't quite understand.”
