Chapter 38 Blind Date

7 o'clock in the evening.

Familiar western restaurant, familiar environment.

This is the third time that Lin Xian has come to this restaurant for dinner.

The first time was to bring Zhao Yingjun, the second time was to invite Tang Xin, and the third time... was a blind date arranged by Chu Shanhe. What a coincidence, the place booked was still this restaurant.

What a bad fate!

This morning, Lin Xian was awakened by Chu Shanhe's call.

He was still wondering why Chu Shanhe called him. After answering the phone, Chu Shanhe directly explained his purpose, saying that he had a friend's daughter who was about the same age as Lin Xian, and thought that the two of them were good in all aspects and quite compatible, so he acted as a matchmaker:

"Lin Xian, you should be old enough to date now. These two things are not contradictory, but complementary. You are lonely alone in Donghai. My friend's daughter is very beautiful and has a good family background. You are all young people. You can get to know each other and chat. If it is suitable, you can try to get along with each other."

Ah...

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

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

This was the first time he had a blind date in his life. His previous understanding of blind dates was basically from the dramatic clips shot on short video platforms, which seemed quite intense and terrifying, and could be called an epic tug-of-war game.

In fact, he had no intention of going on a blind date at all.

He was too busy with the things around him, with so many troubles to be solved, and even in danger, how could he have such a mind?

However, Chu Shanhe's kindness was hard to refuse, and he really didn't have a suitable reason to refuse; Chu Shanhe, who was in a high position, was kind enough to introduce him to a partner, and he refused without even meeting her, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

In the land of East China Sea, he was far from developing, and there was no harm in having a good relationship with Chu Shanhe in all aspects.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xian also agreed.

Anyway, blind dates are just a meal for strangers to have together, and no one forced them to get married after the meal, so he just went through the motions.

"Hahaha, OK, Lin Xian." Chu Shanhe on the other end of the phone was very happy to hear Lin Xian agree:

"Let's set the time to 7pm. I've already booked a restaurant for you. The entire second floor is reserved. When you get there, just chat 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 good, just chat. If it's not suitable, don't be embarrassed. I'm just trying to connect you."

Lin Xian also understood what Chu Shanhe meant.

He still respected himself very much, so he didn't feel embarrassed to refuse because of his face. If he didn't like the other person, he could just express his opinion directly.

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

He felt like he was not good at rejecting others...he was too soft-hearted.

Gao Yang had always said that Lin Xian was a warm-hearted and kind person since he was a child, but in fact, birds of a feather flock together. The two of them were similar in this regard, so they could play together and had good popularity.

He took another nap.

After getting up and washing up, Lin Xian went directly to this familiar western restaurant.

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

After arriving on the second floor, he found that the layout and decoration were actually no different from the first floor, but because of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the view was wider. Especially the position by the window, you can overlook the entire street view outside.

Seeing Lin Xian coming up, the store manager immediately greeted him attentively:

"Hello, Mr. Lin, President Chu has arranged everything. The entire second floor is reserved for you tonight. If you need anything, just tell me."

Lin Xian nodded.

Looking at the watch, it was actually seven o'clock... This blind date woman is not very punctual.

However, it is now the peak traffic season in Donghai, so it is understandable to be a little late.

He was idle, so he turned his head and looked at the traffic outside the window that kept driving into the hotel parking lot.

It is now early spring in March, and the daytime is getting longer. The sky at seven o'clock is just a short time after the sun has completely set, and the black night is slowly falling.

This restaurant is doing very well. All kinds of luxury cars come in, and the first floor is quickly full. And just as the store manager said, no one comes up to the second floor, and the place is completely reserved.

Finally.

When the sky outside is completely dark, all the lights inside the restaurant are turned on, and Lin Xian's phone is a little hot from watching videos...

The sound of footsteps finally came from the rotating escalator leading to the second floor.

Da, da, da, da, a gentle pace.

A bright yellow hair emerges first, followed by a big bubble that bursts in the air with a snap, and a hot young girl wearing cool clothes comes up.

A baseball cap, a white T-shirt, a thin coat, denim hot pants...

Lin Xian suddenly saw summer.

Squeak--

She walked straight to Lin Xian's table, pulled out the chair, and sat across from him with her legs crossed:

"You are Lin Xian, right?"

Lin Xian nodded:

"Hello, Su Su."

Although the other party was half an hour late, Lin Xian didn't care, because everyone has something to do on the way.

The store manager who had been waiting for a long time immediately smiled and came forward to hand the two of them the menu.

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

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

...

Huh?

Lin Xian looked at the girl in front of him.

Is the efficiency of blind dates 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. He didn't know what to say...

He has seen all kinds of blind dates here, but he has never seen such a fast version!

"Then...do you still want to order?"

Lin Xian felt a lot more relaxed.

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

It's easier now.

The other party didn't take a fancy to him, so Lin Xian could only shout long live in his heart.

Perfect solution!

Su Su picked up her phone and took random photos of Lin Xian, the surroundings, and the store manager who was the waiter himself, as if collecting evidence, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he stood up and waved to Lin Xian:

"Bye-Bye"

After that, he picked up his handbag and stood up directly, clattering away quickly.

"..." "..."

Lin Xian and the store manager looked at each other, looking at each other.

It came and went in a hurry. I didn’t expect that the first blind date in my life would be so enjoyable.

The dripping ending.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, you're here! Why don't you go back after dinner?"

"Too."

Lin Xian directly ordered a few dishes that he thought tasted good before and returned the menu to the store manager:

"That's all."

…

at this time.

The lobby on the first floor was so crowded that there was even a queue.

At the door, an Alfa commercial vehicle parked in front of the reception desk. The driver got out and opened the door. Zhao Yingjun walked out in high heels.

The manager on the first floor immediately greeted him:

"Miss Zhao, you are here!"

This Miss Zhao came here often during this period and also deposited a lot of money. The person in charge at that time was this manager, and he received a lot of commissions. Of course he remembered this God of Wealth.

only……

Today he looked embarrassed and explained to Zhao Yingjun who had just got off the car:

"It would be great if you contact me in advance and I can reserve a seat for you... The place is already full now, and it will take a long time to queue up. I suggest that Ms. Zhao not sit down today."

Let's try another restaurant. "

"No place 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 sheepishly:

"Ms. Zhao, the entire restaurant on the second floor has been booked today...only the first floor is open to the public. I'm so sorry."

"We only received the news about the reservation at noon... If you really want to dine today, how about I get a number for you and call you when we get there?"

Private venue?

Zhao Yingjun snorted and crossed his arms.

Such a big deal... it must be some young man from Donghai who wants to make his girlfriend smile, right? Or maybe it’s a birthday celebration for my girlfriend or something:

"It's so sentimental."

She complained and looked at the crowd of people 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 yellow-haired 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 enjoyment today."

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

Through the car window, Zhao Yingjun turned to look at the brightly lit second floor of the restaurant...

As expected, it was empty, except for a man sitting at the table closest to the window, a... figure that became more and more familiar the more he looked at it!

"parking!"

Zhao Yingjun pressed 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 bright and provide a clear view of the entire restaurant interior.

I did read it right!

There was the only man sitting in the restaurant on the second floor! And that familiar silhouette is his secretary——

Lin Xian]!

What's going on?

Zhao Yingjun blinked, very confused.

What is Lin Xian doing?

Booking a restaurant... doesn't seem like his style.

She thought she knew Lin Xian very well after being together for so long. He is very low-key and will never be like that kind of playboy who spends money like a rubbish shop or something like that.

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

After Zhao Yingjun ordered the driver, he picked up his handbag and got out of the car, entered the restaurant, and walked towards the second floor.

…

At the same time, the restaurant parking lot.

The red McLaren scissor door was raised. Su Su sat in while making a phone call, held the phone between her neck and shoulders, and talked to her female companion:

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

"You're too fast, sister!" the female voice on the other end of the phone exclaimed:

"Did you just say you were going on a blind date? Why did you come out in just a few minutes?"

"Haha, I went straight to the point and said we were not suitable, and then ran away!" Su Su smiled proudly:

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

"Ah haha..." On the other side of the phone, the female companion laughed awkwardly:

"What you did was too embarrassing! Why don't you have dinner with me before leaving! If you do this, the boy will definitely be very sad and disappointed."

"I don't care about him that much!"

Su Su chewed bubble gum and recalled the gentle boy just now:

"But... that boy does look very quiet, and he may be a little sensitive."

"Hahaha, why don't you go up and comfort him!"

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

"He's sad, so he'll be sad, he'll definitely 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:

"This guy is a scumbag! And he's dating two people at the same time!?"

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

But the difference is!

On the chair where her butt hadn't even warmed up just now, there was a dignified and beautiful woman sitting there!

The woman was also dressed very delicately, and it was obvious that she was here for a blind date!

The most annoying thing is...

Lin Xian on the opposite side was still chatting and laughing with this woman, and they were having a great time! Even the waiters started serving the dishes!

What kind of blind date buffet is this?

Are there girls lining up downstairs? This guy is selecting a concubine! Do you think you are the emperor!

"Get down!"

Su Su retched:

"I'm disgusted! Damn, I'm a spare tire!"

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

"My blind date! He actually made an appointment with another girl for a blind date today! My god... I thought I could only see this kind of slutty operation, but today I really encountered it!"

"Ah? Really!"

"That's right! I can see it clearly downstairs now! I just went downstairs for a few minutes, and the second blind date candidate went up as a substitute! This guy is really a master of time management, and he doesn't waste a minute!"

"Haha, you've been cheated."

"Cuckold! I've been fooled!"

Bang!

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

Infuriating!

Too infuriating!

"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 let you two chat today... my last name is not Su!"
