A group of security guards were staring at each other, big eyes at small.
They had thought Lin Zifeng might bring them so spicy stories, but it turned out everyone had gotten excited for nothing.
They just couldn’t understand how, in a finance departnt teeming with beauties, Lin Zifeng could possibly have missed out on so romantic luck.
Even Mu Yang, the head of the IT departnt whose work had no relation to the security departnt, had started sothing ambiguous.
What else could surprise them?
Seeing their disappointed and deflated expressions, Lin Zifeng didn’t really care, so he pulled out cigarettes and handed them around to offer so consolation.
“By the way, where’s Jia?”
He had been at the security departnt for almost half an hour now, and Jia Zhenjing, who was usually very enthusiastic, hadn’t shown up yet.
Lin Zifeng felt a bit off, perhaps missing the usual atmosphere.
“Jia’s recently registered online for ‘If You Are The One,’ and now he’s so busy that he’s in the clouds one minute and in the fog the next.
As soon as he enters the company, he asks us how he looks, acting like a turtle in a shell.
I bet he’s off to the storehouse again to look at photos of girls on the computer,” Zheng Liang said honestly.
“Joining ‘If You Are The One’?
A blind date?”
Lin Zifeng was sowhat puzzled.
Could it be that this old boy still wanted to go on TV to find a wife through a blind date?
“Yeah, Jia’s beco obsessed with this famous dostic TV dating program.
A few days ago, he registered on Baihe website, and in no ti, they approved his application.
I guess they will be coming to interview him about his family and economic status soon.
That’s why Jia’s been acting so busy lately.
Usually, he would have gone out by this ti and wouldn’t co back until the afternoon.”
“What does he go out for?” Lin Zifeng asked.
“Probably preparations.
After all, he’s about to appear on a TV dating show.
The issue of appearances is sowhat important.”
That was true; Jia Zhenjing’s face was such that it was painful to look directly at, and the security brothers genuinely worried for him.
No wonder a man in his thirties still had no girlfriend— who knew the dirty little secrets behind that.
Moreover, the guy was about to go on TV for a blind date.
The audience he’d face wasn’t sothing as simple as one or two people.
Lin Zifeng had heard about this dating show while he was abroad.
It was said to be very popular.
But he didn’t have ti to pay attention to such things.
Besides, he wasn’t lacking in won.
Why go through all the trouble to appear on a TV program?
“It makes sense.
After all, ‘Clothes make the man, gold makes the Buddha.’ In this materialistic era, if you don’t have so capital in hand, you’re under a lot of pressure in everything you do,” Lin Zifeng said, patting the tall Zheng Liang on the shoulder.
Then he turned to the security brothers and said, “When Jia gets back, could you tell him sothing for ?
Wish him the best in finding us a sister-in-law soon.”
Lin Zifeng chuckled.
“Sure thing, Brother Lin, you can count on ,” Zheng Liang waved his hand and readily agreed.
Even though Lin Zifeng had been promoted to assistant financial director, he still held an honorary position in the security departnt.
If he ever grew unhappy with his current job, he could always co back to his leisurely security guard post any ti.
This was also sothing Nangong Bing had begrudgingly agreed to under Lin Zifeng’s sway.
Since Nangong Bing had his own motives for placing Zifeng in the finance departnt, naturally, Zifeng wasn’t about to let himself be used as a re pawn without getting sothing in return.
Seeing that it was now lunch break ti, under the enthusiastic insistence of his colleagues, Lin Zifeng was dragged into the security office to watch the latest Japanese action movie.
Despite Lin Zifeng’s repeated assertions that he was a gentleman, he only managed to draw everyone’s middle fingers and scorn, and under Lin Zifeng’s cigarette-pushing, each person clamped a cigarette in their mouth, staring with bulging eyes intently at the warfare unfolding on the computer screen!
Boy, those beasts almost burst the computer open.
Luckily, Lin Zifeng had actually backed out, otherwise who knows what disgusting things this group of beasts, going mad at the sight of female students, would have done.
After stepping out of the security office, Lin Zifeng didn’t leave imdiately; instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and leisurely lit one for himself, reflecting on how ti had flown.
In the blink of an eye, it had been almost a month since he returned to his holand.
In this past month, besides running errands for the two old ladies at ho, Lin Zifeng really hadn’t taken the ti to properly explore on his own.
After all, five years is a long ti for anyone, and how many five-year periods does one have to squander in life?
Thinking it over, since there was nothing to do this afternoon, he might as well go back for a visit.
See how Li Lin, the little lass, was doing now.
He was supposed to visit her last ti but was held up by so things.
This ti, he guessed he had to co up with a good excuse to appease and apologize to the girl.
Otherwise, he just couldn’t afford to lose face.
Taking a taxi, Lin Zifeng finally returned to his old house once again.
Lin Zifeng didn’t go in but stood outside for a while, silently lowering his head and pondering for a good while before pulling out his knockoff Nokia phone to dial Li Lin’s mobile number.
A few seconds later, Li Lin answered the phone, sounding quite excited.
She had not expected Lin Zifeng to actually call her.
In her impression, Brother Lin was good at many things but was not particularly fond of pleasing won.
All along, it seed like he didn’t take many things to heart apart from brotherly affection.
She had thought Brother Lin would have co to her birthday the last ti she asked, but Lin Zifeng ended up making an excuse not to go, which left Li Lin quite depressed for a while.
Could it be that Brother Lin, who she hadn’t seen in five years, had changed?
Had he beco a stranger?
Li Lin was a cheerful girl who, besides teaching at a middle school, spent most of her ti enjoying romance dramas at ho and occasionally dragging her close friends out for shopping, much like any ordinary girl nowadays.
As she happily rushed out to greet Lin Zifeng, her father stopped her.
As soon as he heard Lin Zifeng had co, her father seed sowhat displeased.
For him, his only daughter was all his hope.
Being a laid-off worker, he hoped that his daughter could marry into a sowhat better family in the future, so both her and his later life would be improved; after all, many families harbor such a hope nowadays.
Moreover, Li Lin wasn’t lacking in looks or status compared to others.
But ever since Lin Zifeng returned from abroad, his precious daughter had been endlessly complaining at ho, looking morose.
The usually cheerful her would inadvertently ntion Lin Zifeng during conversations with her parents and even showed a particular interest in inquiring about Lin Zifeng’s family’s past.
This imdiately made the smalltown ntality Li Tian suspicious.
