Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly, "I was just joking to lighten the mood, but you didn't fall for it. How boring!"
Having lived for over ten years, she felt like a complete failure. The man she liked didn't reciprocate her feelings, and her childhood friend treated her like one of the guys. It was truly miserable!
Yun Zhi Yue wore a gloomy expression.
"Now I have one more buddy," she thought, referring to Yu Ge. "I won’t bother you anymore; let’s put this behind us. Mother has already spoken—if I keep making a fuss, she’ll send me abroad."
Zhou Yu looked surprised. "Aunt Lan is that generous?"
Yun Zhi Yue shrugged. "It's mainly because I've embarrassed her too much; the pressure has built up for a long time."
"Enough about that. I invited some friends today; they should be arriving soon."
Just then, a man in formal attire entered through the main door, looking somewhat reserved.
Yun Zhi Yue immediately stood up and waved enthusiastically, "Wang Zhe, over here!"
She moved her chair closer to Nan Jing, making room for him and appearing considerate, but in reality, she just wanted to sit next to her target.
After careful consideration of her strategy yesterday, she concluded that a direct approach wouldn’t work—she couldn't become the next Zhou Yu.
Instead, she planned to take it slow and steady, subtly infiltrating his life while focusing on flirting!
Wang Zhe was around her age and not bad-looking, but when compared to the two men beside him, he seemed quite different. Nevertheless, he held his composure well.
Seeing that his date had brought along two male companions surprised him, but he still greeted them earnestly.
"Miss Yun, I apologize for being late; I should have arrived earlier. These two are..."
Yun Zhi Yue waved her hand dismissively. "It's fine! I came early on purpose and happened to run into these friends. Let me introduce you."
"This is Zhou Yu, the man I like who just escaped an unwanted marriage proposal," she said with a playful tone. "And this is my childhood friend Nan Jing, who has always taken great care of me."
"I got drunk the other night and ended up sleeping at his apartment. He took care of me all night and even lent me his shirt—how thoughtful!"
The three men exchanged glances.
Wang Zhe struggled to maintain his smile; this introduction was certainly unique. The mention of two other names added immense pressure on him.
It was one thing to be set up with a wealthy heiress; now he had to deal with two other prominent figures as well! Thankfully, he was used to handling pressure from his boss's demands.
After polite greetings were exchanged, Yun Zhi Yue gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Despite the awkward atmosphere, Yun Zhi Yue seemed oblivious and was in high spirits herself. Her warm attitude made it hard to find fault with her behavior—at least if one ignored the presence of the other two men.
With the minds of Zhou Yu and Nan Jing, it was clear that something was brewing. It seemed that Yun Zhi Yue's mother was serious this time. They had even arranged a matchmaking meeting.
Nan Jing scrutinized the man before her, who appeared utterly unremarkable, and asked, "What do you do?"
Her tone was natural yet carried an air of authority, reminiscent of a company speaking to its subordinate.
Wang Zhe, accustomed to such environments, immediately reacted with conditioned reflex. Upon hearing his superior's tone, he respectfully replied, "Nan Zong, I am the director of Xinglan Trading Company, primarily responsible for—"
He paused mid-sentence as he realized he was there for a matchmaking meeting, not to answer a superior's inquiry. His face flushed red in embarrassment.
It was evident that she had a discerning eye. A man like this would indeed not make her suffer in marriage.
Yun Zhi Yue ordered her meal and smiled brightly. "Don't be nervous. You can ignore those two; I'm the one you should focus on. You know I'm an only child, and marrying me means taking responsibility for Yun Group. I'm not interested in those trivial matters, which is why I need someone as a backup."
