Su Tiantian said, "Yes, we need to buy a tape measure first. Also, we can buy a small rice cooker, which doesn't require measurements. I also remember that we need to buy some fruit and take it to the general manager's house tonight."

Liu Jingze said: "Then buy it."

The two of them went to the fruit market, which had a huge variety. They bought fruit, a rice cooker, and a measuring tape. The supermarket had a pretty complete selection. Seeing it was almost time, they went to check out. Liu Jingze said, "Tiantian, go back and drop off your things first, and then I'll take you to the party."

Su Tiantian said in surprise: "It's so close, you still want to take me there?"

Liu Jingze said: "After I send you off, I'll go to the restaurant downstairs for dinner. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"

Su Tiantian thought about it and nodded.

The two returned to the house carrying large and small bags. Su Tiantian said, "Fortunately, the house is on the third floor, close to the gate of the community."

Liu Jingze put down his things, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Dad doesn't like high-rise houses very much. He prefers mid- to low-rise houses."

Su Tiantian said, "The house on the third floor is good, I like it too."

Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Jingze took Su Tiantian to Building 13 of Fuyi Garden. While waiting for the elevator, he ran into two acquaintances. Su Tiantian said, "Vice President Xu, Assistant Li, good evening. Are you here too?"

The two were a little surprised to see Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian holding hands. Vice President Xu said, "Tiantian, you said you have a boyfriend. So your boyfriend is Mr. Jing?"

Su Tiantian was also surprised and asked: "Vice President Xu, do you know my boyfriend?"

Assistant Li said, "The elevator is here, let's go in and talk." The four of them walked into the elevator.

Liu Jingze, holding two bags of fruit in one hand, had no choice but to let go of Su Tiantian's hand. He extended his hand and said, "Hello, Vice President Xu, hello, Assistant Li, I am Tiantian's fiancé Xu Jingze." The two also extended their hands to shake Liu Jingze's hand. After shaking hands, Liu Jingze quickly took Su Tiantian's hand.

Vice President Xu said with emotion: "I can't believe Tiantian's fiancé is Master Jing. This world is really complicated."

Seeing Su Tiantian's puzzled expression, Liu Jingze said, "I was on a business trip yesterday, and I met Vice President Xu and Assistant Li at the banquet."

Assistant Li adjusted his silver glasses and said, "Young Master Jing really cares about Manager Su. He even specially sent Manager Su to the party."

Liu Jingze said, "It's fate. I have a small house in this neighborhood. I wanted to bring Tiantian over to see it, but she said the party tonight was also in this neighborhood, so I sent her over."

The elevator door opened, and Assistant Li rang the doorbell. Vice President Liu said, "Since we're so destined to meet, Mr. Jing, why don't you join us for the party?"

Assistant Li said from the side, "Yes, Manager Su, ask your fiancé to come to the party."

"What, Manager Su's fiancé?" Mr. Lai, who had opened the door, asked curiously. Mr. Lai was a man in his thirties. If it weren't for his overweight and paunch, he would be quite handsome. Fortunately, he was tall, white, and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he still looked quite handsome. He was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt with a football pattern, black casual trousers, and a pair of flip-flops—very casual home clothes.

When Vice President Xu saw President Lai, he quickly went over and put his arm around his shoulders, acting like a good brother, and said, "President Lai, let me introduce you. This is Tiantian's fiancé, Mr. Jing. We just met yesterday, and he sent Tiantian here for the party today. What a fate we meet. I was just about to invite him to the party." Vice President Xu was half a head shorter than President Lai. He was also fat and had a big belly. His skin was a little dark, and he wore a white shirt and black trousers. He had a nice smile on his face, which always made people feel that he was speaking with sincerity.

Mr. Lai said enthusiastically, "Since Tiantian's fiancé is here, why not join us for the party? The people here today are all Tiantian's colleagues, and they're usually very friendly with her."

Liu Jingze extended his hand with a steady and proper smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Lai, my name is Liu Jingze, you can just call me Jingze, then I will respectfully obey your orders. Sorry for disturbing you."

After shaking hands with Liu Jingze, Mr. Lai said, "Everyone, please go in quickly. Don't block the door. Some people haven't arrived yet."

The five of them entered the house. The 150-square-meter apartment was quite large, with a large balcony, perfect for enjoying the beautiful sunset. The living room was decorated ornately, especially the chandelier under the ceiling, which was exquisite and dazzling. Mr. Lai led everyone to sit on the brown sofa in the living room.

Assistant Li placed the things he was carrying on the coffee table, and Xu Jingze also placed the fruit on the coffee table. Boss Lai called out loudly, "Xiao Kuang, pour out four glasses of water."

Just as she finished speaking, a woman rushed out from a kitchen and said angrily, "I told you not to call me Xiao Kuang. Are you forcing me to call you Lao Lai?" Seeing the five people in the living room, she felt a little embarrassed: "You guys are here?"

Assistant Li quickly stood up and said, "How can we ask Director Kuang to pour us some water? I'll go."

Su Tiantian smiled and said, "Director Kuang, good evening."

Director Kuang was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She looked very plainly dressed with a simple short ponytail. Her tone became gentle when she spoke to Su Tiantian: "Tiantian, you're here. Who's the handsome guy next to you?"

Vice President Xu leaned against the sofa and snorted, "You only see that handsome guy. Can't you see there are two more handsome guys in front of you?"

Director Kuang crossed his arms and said rudely, "How can you two men with big bellies be considered handsome? Even if you are handsome, you will be immune to it if you see it 300 out of 365 days a year."

Su Tiantian pulled Liu Jingze up and said, "Director Kuang, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Liu Jingze."
