Before leaving, I stood in front of the mirror once again, carefully checking my appearance. Today, I was having lunch with the department head, Qin Jin, and I wanted to make a good impression. At the same time, I didn't want to offend him; what if he made things difficult for me at work in the future?
I looked at the woman in the mirror with her exquisite makeup and nodded in satisfaction. Although my features weren't particularly delicate, my fair skin and gentle demeanor made me a charming presence. Plus, I had specifically chosen to wear a white lace dress today—elegant yet pure. I believed Qin Jin would be pleasantly surprised when he saw me.
After checking myself in the mirror several times and confirming that everything was perfect, I picked up my bag and headed out. On the way, I pondered how to interact with Qin Jin. He appeared to be in his late twenties, dressed sharply in a well-fitted suit, with meticulously styled hair—definitely the type of workplace elite. His personality seemed gentle as well; he treated his subordinates kindly, so he shouldn't be too difficult to get along with.
While I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang. It was Du Mei calling. I quickly answered, "Hello, Du Mei, I'm on my way."
Du Mei chuckled, "Xiaoyao, hold on a second; I've made up with Zhang Qiang."
"What?" I was taken aback. What was going on?
Du Mei continued, "Zhang Qiang just apologized to me. He said he and that woman are just friends and that I misunderstood them."
I couldn't help but frown. "Do you really believe what he said?"
Du Mei nodded, "I believe him because I saw them hugging each other."
I was speechless; how could anyone believe that? " Du Mei, are you out of your mind?"
Du Mei smiled and said, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm really fine. Plus, Zhang Qiang said that the dinner for four tonight is still on, and he will bring his buddy Yi along."
" Yi?"
I was taken aback. Wasn't Yi the same person as Qin Jin that Du Mei mentioned?
Du Mei nodded, "Yes, didn't you tell me before that you fell in love at first sight with someone? Tonight would be a perfect opportunity for you two to meet."
I immediately blushed, "When did I ever say that?"
Du Mei thought for a moment, "It was when you accompanied me to the mall to buy clothes. You turned red when you saw Pei Chenyi."
I was speechless. I was nervous that time!
"I was nervous back then, and I never said I fell in love at first sight with Pei Chenyi."
Du Mei chuckled, "Alright, no matter what, you have to come tonight."
I helplessly nodded, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, I arrived at the restaurant.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Pei Chenyi standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
The moment he saw me, he smiled and greeted, "Yao Yao, you're here."
I nodded, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Chenyi blinked, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
I was slightly taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Pei Chenyi smiled again, "My buddy Zhang Qiang's girlfriend is your best friend Du Mei, right?"
I was stunned again, "How did you know?"
Pei Chenyi sighed with a smile, "The person she wanted to introduce to me today is you, isn't it?"
I suddenly realized that Du Mei had been trying to set me up with Pei Chenyi all along.
"What about you? Do you want me to go on a blind date with you?"
Pei Chenyi shook his head, "I thought your best friend wanted to introduce her friend Li Wen to me."
I was taken aback again, "Li Wen?"
Pei Chenyi nodded and said, "Yeah, that's the one you blushed at when you saw her in the mall last time."
I was speechless; it turned out we had both misunderstood each other's intentions. I originally thought Pei Chenyi liked Li Wen, which was why he tried so hard to get close to her, but now it seemed he had no interest in Li Wen at all. On the other hand, Pei Chenyi thought I liked him, which was why Du Mei wanted to set us up.
After thinking for a moment, I couldn't help but ask, "So do you have any interest in Li Wen?"
Pei Chenyi smiled and replied, "How should I put it? Li Wen is indeed very beautiful, but I don't have any deep feelings for her. If there's a chance to be friends, I wouldn't refuse."
I nodded in understanding. Actually, I felt the same way about Qin Jin; I couldn't say I liked him that much, but I simply thought he was outstanding. If there was an opportunity, it might be worth a try.
"Alright, stop standing around like a fool. Let's go inside," Pei Chenyi said as he patted my shoulder with a smile.
I snapped back to reality and quickly followed his lead.
