The two of them worked far away from each other. Even if they succeeded, Soong Chuyi would not give up her current job for the other. Long-distance relationships were not reliable in her eyes.
Soong Chuyi concentrated. If she heard that the other party would not develop into C City in the future, she would politely refuse and tell him that she was also a careerist, and that she also did not consider long-distance relationships.
The man smiled and replied seductively, "If I can develop with you in the long term, I naturally want to stay in the same city as you."
"Will you come to City C? I heard that your family business has always been in City H. Will your family support you?"
It wasn't that Soong Chuyi doubted him, but from Soong's mother's words, she knew that Zhao Mucheng's business in H City had taken root. After graduation, he went out to work for a while, but in the end, he still obediently went back to inherit the family property.
If he had been willing to leave H-City for the sake of marriage, his family would not have taken so long to arrange a blind date for his son.
And Zhao Mucheng was three years older than Soong Chuyi. After the New Year, he would be thirty years old. Although he didn't look like it, he was already at the age where ordinary families were especially anxious to get a wife.
Perhaps he wasn't willing to compromise on her behalf. After all, Soong's mother was willing to give her such a good offer. She must have taken a fancy to the betrothal gift price that the other party could afford.
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Mucheng's answer was no longer important. Because of Soong's mother's existence, Soong Chuyi disliked him a little. Even if he said that his family was very supportive, she still put a greasy label on Zhao Mucheng with prejudice.
He had only just met her, and he had already flirted with her when he had the chance. It was obvious that he was not a good person. What was the use of being good looking? At his age, he had to rely on blind dates to find a partner for his career. There might be some unknown problem, so Soong Chuyi was even more determined to go back and cut off contact.
Soong Chuyi's situation had suddenly changed. The man sitting across from her had naturally noticed it, but the dishes had been served, and the conversation had just broken off at that point. The two of them ate in silence.
After the meal, Soong Chuyi found her wallet, hoping that the AA would be a hint that the other party was not very satisfied with him, but when she called the waiter, she realized to her chagrin that the table had already been paid for by men when she lowered her head to eat.
"The owner of this shop and I know each other, and I can get a discount if I want to pay, and besides, how can I let a lady come when it's our first meeting?"
Soong Chuyi could not find anything to say in rebuttal, so she could only nod and politely reply that she would invite him back if she had the chance. In her heart, she was already thinking of snatching the opportunity to buy him back later.
She did not like to owe people favors, especially a man who was interested in her.
The adult world was not a place to play, and time was not on their side, so after dinner they went through the usual routine of going to a movie, where they might be able to find a place to talk in the afternoon, or they might choose to go to the end of the show.
After entering the movie theater, the man took out his phone and made a request, "Miss Song, can I take a look at your WeChat?"
Soong Chuyi looked at him in confusion. Didn't she have her WeChat?
The man smiled and explained, "The one before was for work. I have a good feeling about Miss Song, so I hope Miss Song is on my private account list."
Soong Chuyi pursed her lips and hesitated. She wanted to stop. The man's sudden request made it difficult for her to refuse.
After thinking for a while, Soong Chuyi agreed. Anyway, it was all on the list. One more or one less did not matter to her.
"Then I'll sweep you." Soong Chuyi picked up her bag and looked for her phone.
The man had already opened the 2D code and was staring at Soong Chuyi's actions with a focused expression.
He was actually a little selfish.
He wanted to tell Soong Chuyi that he was not Zhao Mucheng, but his feelings for her were real, because he did not want to approach Soong Chuyi as another person, which was why the man knew that as long as Soong Chuyi took out her phone, she would find out that she had recognized the wrong person, so he still brought it up.
Soong Chuyi didn't turn her phone on when she went to work, but the volume wasn't very loud either. In addition, she had her phone muted in her bag, and she didn't intend to keep it with her when she saw her blind date. Soong Chuyi hadn't looked at her phone for a long time.
Soong Chuyi turned on her phone and saw a lot of notifications. There were unknown calls, and the blind date asked where she was.
She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, seeing him shake his phone. Through the time Zhao Mucheng sent the message, they were eating at that time, even if she couldn't think straight, she would have understood that the person in front of her was not Zhao Mucheng at all.
Embarrassed, Soong Chuyi lowered her head, wanting to find a hole to hide in.
"That... Are you Mr. Zhao Mucheng?" After the embarrassment, Soong Chuyi first apologized to Zhao Mucheng, indicating that she could not be present, then looked at the blind date that had appeared in front of her.
The man smiled. "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Xirann."
Without waiting for Soong Chuyi to speak, Xu Xirann took the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Because I fell in love with Miss Song at first sight, I knew that Miss Song was going on a blind date with another man, so I pretended to be her. Can you forgive me? "
Soong Chuyi quickly waved her hand to show that she was not angry. It was her fault for being careless. She was in the wrong for this matter. If she had not wanted to deal with it, she would have asked for the photo and contact number of the blind date ahead of time. If she really wanted to get to the bottom of it, she had taken advantage of the fact that she could go on a blind date with the man in front of her.
She said he was too handsome to have to go on a blind date.
"In that case, can I add you on WeChat?"
"Yes... Sure." Soong Chuyi quickly handed over her phone.
After adding him as a friend, Soong Chuyi looked at the ticketing area and hesitated. It was a mistake in the first place. Should she continue with the date?
"Mr. Xu..."
As soon as Soong Chuyi opened her mouth, Xu Xirann saw through her thoughts. "If Miss Song has anything to do, I won't watch the movie for now. I look forward to the opportunity to eat Miss Song's treat."
These words were considerate and did not force Soong Chuyi too much. With the excuse of another date, Soong Chuyi was naturally very touched.
"Sorry, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal next time."
Soong Chuyi's phone was still vibrating. She was afraid that she would have a headache next time. It was good for her to cancel the rest of the trip.
The two of them reached an agreement. Xu Xirann took the initiative to send Soong Chuyi home and closed the door. In the quiet space, Soong Chuyi heard the phone ring continuously. The caller ID showed Soong's mother.
Soong Chuyi was scolded back by Soong's mother just as she was about to say something. The reason why Soong Chuyi was called back was to blame Soong Chuyi for not keeping her appointment. Her blind date, Zhao Mucheng, waited for her at the hotel for more than an hour.
Soong's mother said that because of her, she had lost all her face. Soong Chuyi curled the corner of her mouth, thinking that Soong's mother cared more about face. She silently put her phone on the table and got up to pour herself a glass of water.
