For so reason, Boss Jiang suddenly cut off his thoughts.
Even best friends are like this.
What about the old pals then?
That damned mory started acting up again.
"No need, our company has a designated hotel, why waste money?"
Tong Dan refused her sister’s kind offer, she’s not soone who likes to take advantage.
"Tong Da i Nu, why so frugal all of a sudden? You won’t be in Tokyo for long, keep Fang Qing company, I’ll cover your food and lodging."
Boss Jiang is indeed not stingy.
No matter how good friends are, after growing up they all have their own lives, it’s hard to et up.
"You said it, next ti in East Sea, you’ll have to honor that."
"You’re not leaving tomorrow, are you?"
Flying an international flight, don’t the crew usually rest for two to three days?
"I... have sothing to do."
Tong Dan said evasively.
"What do you have to do in Tokyo?"
Jiang Chen casually asked, "Bringing things for soone?"
"Does anyone still want things from there nowadays?" Tong Dan replied imdiately.
Jiang Chen looked at her curiously.
Tong Dan sighed slowly, showing a rare lancholic expression.
"What’s wrong? Can’t bring stuff, affecting inco, feeling upset?"
"Go to hell!"
Jiang Chen stood at ease, arms folded, leaning against the table, "What’s bothering you, let’s hear it."
"You want to say it so you can have a good laugh, right?"
Tong Da i Nu is still as smart as ever.
Boss Jiang chuckled, "How could I, Fang Qing and I can cheer you up."
Tong Dan glanced at him, seemingly not at ease, "Then you better not laugh."
Laugh?
Jiang Chen was puzzled, before he even realized, he heard again: "See my high heels here, eight centiters, could pierce a wall."
"Wearing such high heels isn’t good for your feet."
Quite the gentleman, indeed.
He actually gave advice about her shoes.
Tong Dan hesitated for a mont, then said with a straight face, "...my family introduced to a blind date."
Jiang Chen was taken aback.
He wanted to hold it in, but couldn’t help letting out a laugh.
Tong Dan pretended to bend over to take off her shoes.
"A blind date?"
Fang Qing was clearly quite surprised too.
Jiang Chen stifled his laughter, "Tong Dan, are you kidding us? Do you need a blind date?"
Although blind dating is quite normal these days, with her conditions? Her personality? Afraid of not finding a match?
"My parents are stubborn, saying it’s okay not to marry too early, but I must have a boyfriend, they keep pushing , have introduced several already."
Looking at Tong Dan’s tight face, Boss Jiang almost laughed again.
It was obvious, Fang Qing also wanted to laugh, but she had more self-control than soone else. She consoled, "If you don’t want to, just refuse."
"I’ve been making my stand clear to my parents, telling them not to worry about , but they just won’t listen."
"I don’t think Uncle and Auntie are wrong, a girl traveling around the world alone, any parents would worry, they an well."
Boss Jiang nodded as he spoke.
"Fang Qing is also away, not often with her parents, why don’t they worry about her?" Tong Dan imdiately retorted.
Jiang Chen was montarily speechless.
When it cos to Tong Dan’s family situation, Fang Qing surely understands better than Jiang Chen, Tong Dan’s parents are indeed more traditional than hers.
Of course.
It’s all for the sake of their children.
Most parents are actually like this.
Worried about their children’s studies when they’re young.
Concerned about their jobs after graduation.
Once working, then it’s ti to worry about marriage.
After all, the tradition in Shenzhou is that n should marry when grown and won should wed.
"I think going against them might not work well, better to go along with them a bit. Sotis parents are just like kids."
"Fang Qing is right." Jiang Chen nodded in agreent, "Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance, where there’s resistance, there’s oppression."
"At first, I was defiant, once even argued so badly my mom was bedridden with anger."
Jiang Chen and Fang Qing exchanged glances.
Parents are like kids.
That’s indeed true.
It’s always the sa tricks.
"I have no choice but to pretend, just like you said, Fang Qing. Fake cooperation. If they ask to add a contact, I add it. If they ask to chat, I chat."
"Didn’t you exchange photos?" Jiang Chen interjected.
Fang Qing and Tong Dan both looked at him.
"Isn’t that all sorted then?" Jiang Chen continued.
"I think it’s no problem doing this. People aren’t stupid, and they’ll lose interest in over ti. It’s always been like this, but recently there’s one who..."
"Are your parents running a matchmaking agency?"
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but say.
"No way, I’m just too excellent. Whenever my parents ntion during their walks, those people are eager to introduce to soone."
Indeed.
Regardless of age, looks, or career, a girl like Tong Dan is definitely popular.
"And then?"
"Recently, this one is too patient. Others, after chatting for a while and realizing I’m not interested, would eventually delete . But he hasn’t changed, and even told the person who introduced us that he’s very satisfied with ."
"You’ve t your match." Jiang Chen comnted.
"Have you two t?" Fang Qing asked.
"Not before, only saw photos. But this ti when I flew to Tokyo, he was actually on my flight."
"What a coincidence?"
Jiang Chen quickly dismissed Qing i’s judgnt: "From a male perspective, it’s probably not a coincidence."
"You an he did it on purpose?"
Tong Dan looked at Jiang Chen: "He told he was on a business trip to Tokyo. He does work for a multinational company."
"How old is he? How does he look?"
Everyone loves gossip.
"He’s five years older than , looks are alright."
"From what you say, he seems quite outstanding. Why not try to get to know him?"
"There are too many outstanding people; do I have to get to know all of them?"
True enough.
This girl’s circle is quite impressive; she even knows those on the level of the wealthy heirs from the Capital City.
Working in a multinational firm might be impressive for most, but to her, it might seem ordinary.
"First, you must discern whether you’re resistant to your parents’ setup or to the person himself. If it’s the latter, and you really don’t have any feelings, it could be a bit problematic since he seems to like you a lot."
Blind dates, after all.
It’s all about being polite.
The only worry is dealing with soone serious.
"So, I plan to be honest with him. After all, he asked out for dinner. Tonight we’re having a gathering with colleagues, and I’ll bring him along. He’ll surely get the ssage."
"Don’t go overboard."
Fang Qing reminded.
"I’m just letting him see the ’real’ . Are you guys coming?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, "Thanks, but I’m afraid I’ll ruin your performance."
No need to ask Fang Qing; she’s never interested in such occasions, and Tong Dan is still feeling guilty about what happened last ti in the Capital City.
"Alright then, I’ll co back to you guys once I deal with this botherso matter."
She has serious matters to attend to, no need to keep her.
"What kind of man do you think she’s looking for?"
After Tong Dan left, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask with a laugh.
"She probably has never thought about this question."
Fang Qing replied serenely.
Indeed.
This girl doesn’t seem particularly interested in wealthy heirs; she just genuinely enjoys having fun.
People with really strong material desires often beco slaves to wealth first.
If Tong Dan were truly obsessed with money, there’s no way she could be so natural in front of .
"She really is still just a child. Her parents don’t need to be in such a hurry."
Jiang Chen sighed.
"You know her personality; her parents are surely aware too. So people might go their whole lives without knowing what they truly want."
Jiang Chen looked at Qing i, thought it over carefully, and agreed deeply.
It doesn’t seem to have much to do with age.
So many people muddle through life without ever understanding the world, let alone themselves.
On the contrary.
There are so who clearly understand their hearts from a very young age."
"Want to go grab so ran?"
"Cui Wen went on a trip."
Jiang Chen was taken aback, then chuckled.
Really took the advice, huh.
