Chapter 35 Date

Shi Jingyuan: "That's not possible, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Lin You was angry and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Shi Jingyuan's eyes softened. "I won't pursue you openly, but you have to have dinner with me once a week."

Lin You: “…”

Shi Jingyuan chuckled: "Are you going to agree or not?"

Well, he repeated to her exactly what she said just now.

After all, the Shi family is a loyal person and will not suffer any loss.

Lin You was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said dryly: "How can I not agree?"

After saying that, she was about to leave angrily.

Shi Jingyuan grabbed her arm.

Lin You turned around, "What are you doing again?"

Shi Jingyuan's smile deepened, and he said, "Dinner tonight."

Lin You returned to his workstation and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

It was clearly she who made the request, so how come in the end, she not only agreed to his pursuit, but also gave him a meal every week?

"Swindler!"

She angrily changed Shi Jingyuan's WeChat nickname.

She was about to put her phone down when the message alert sounded.

〖Swindler: Let's play 123, Statue, shall we?〗

〖Swindler: Okay, I lost because my heart was moved.〗

Lin You widened his eyes, confused, and then he was speechless when he remembered something.

〖Sui Yue Wu You: Mr. Shi, don't copy jokes from the internet. They are both insincere and tacky.〗

〖Life without worries: During working hours, I am busy with work, please do not disturb me.〗

In the conference room.

Shi Jingyuan glanced at the people in the conference room who were engaged in a heated discussion, and then glanced at the two-centimeter-high document in front of him.

Busy with work?

She is just an ordinary employee in the logistics department, how could she not be busy like him?

If he hadn't still missed the warm touch on his lips, he wouldn't have had the urge to search online for tips on how to pursue girls and send them such goosebump-inducing messages.

But, wasn’t that the one just now ranked among the top 100 love words?

Why is there no effect at all?

Everyone who was arguing until their faces turned red all looked in the direction of Shi Jingyuan, and saw that he was frowning and had a very unpleasant expression.

Is Mr. Shi dissatisfied that their meeting is like an argument?

The two parties in dispute exchanged glances, then adjusted their tone and wording. The previous tension immediately disappeared, and everyone began to communicate in a civilized and respectful manner.

Shi Jingyuan didn't pay attention to these details, and was only thinking about his first legitimate date in the evening.

After the meeting, Shi Jingyuan called He Xuan to his office.

Shi Jingyuan played with the pen in his hand and asked casually, "What did you and your girlfriend do on your first date?"

He Xuan was startled, not knowing what he was thinking. He was shy and looked embarrassed to speak.

Shi Jingyuan: “…”

What was this that couldn't be said out loud?

He Xuan cleared his throat and said, "My girlfriend and I actually started with a one-night stand..."

Shi Jingyuan: “???”

Shi Jingyuan: "Okay, no need to say more."

He didn't realize that He Xuan, who looked quite traditional, could progress so quickly in his relationship.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "So what do girls usually like to eat on a date?"

He Xuan was extremely smart. When he heard Shi Jingyuan's question, he had a guess in his mind.

"Boss Shi, are you going on a date with Sister Lin?"

Shi Jingyuan did not deny it.

He Xuan's face lit up with joy. "If it's Sister Lin, I think she would like something that's both cost-effective and delicious."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Shi, let me send you some of the restaurants my girlfriend and I have eaten at. You can pick one and take Sister Lin there. Today is not the weekend, so there shouldn't be many people."

Shi Jingyuan quickly received the store address sent by He Xuan.

He looked at the store introductions one by one with a serious expression.

His first date was going to be in such a noisy and chaotic street and shop?

He raised his eyes and asked, "Isn't there anything better?"

"..." He Xuan explained awkwardly, "Mr. Shi, you usually go to high-end restaurants and may not understand the market trends of mass consumption. These stores are already quite good among mass consumption."

Shi Jingyuan was silent for a while and said nothing more.

During afternoon tea time, Lin You sent a message to Cheng Hao.

She thanked him for his help during this period, and also told him that he didn't need to pick her up anymore and that she would treat him to a meal another day.

After the message was sent, Cheng Hao took a long time to reply.

He said that he had retired and didn't need to eat, but next month there would be a time when she, as an "actor", would really be needed.

After these few days of picking each other up, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and they can occasionally make some harmless jokes.

When Lin You looked up after sending the message, she saw Chen Lingling sitting opposite her, looking at her suspiciously.

Chen Lingling: "Xiao Youyou, there's something wrong with you."

Lin You twitched the corner of his mouth and asked guiltily, "What's wrong?"

Chen Lingling looked her up and down. "According to my calculations, you are destined to have a romantic relationship. If nothing unexpected happens, someone is pursuing you."

It would be a waste of her talent if she didn't set up a fortune-telling stall on the street.

Lin You was startled and took a sip of coffee tactically.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Lingling growled exaggeratedly, "Really?"

"Keep your voice down."

Lin You looked around and saw that the other colleagues were far away and didn't seem to notice them, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Lingling grabbed her arm excitedly, "Who is it, sister? Tell me quickly! Is it that contract boyfriend who comes to pick you up every day? Did you guys turn your fake relationship into reality?"

Lin You slapped her hand away and said in a low voice, "It's not him."

Chen Lingling: "Who is that? Do I know him?"

Lin You thought for a moment and said, "I guess we know each other."

Chen Lingling was so anxious, "If you don't tell me within three seconds, I'll post your ugly photos in the company group."

Lin You sighed and uttered three words.

"Shi Jingyuan."

Chen Lingling was stunned for a moment. "I asked you to tell me which fearless man was pursuing you, and what did you always do when you asked?"

Lin You stared at her meaningfully.

After a long time.

Chen Lingling reacted and asked tentatively, "Are you saying that the person pursuing you is Mr. Shi?"

Lin You: “Yeah.”

Chen Lingling's eyes widened and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Suddenly, she hugged Lin You and pretended to cry.

"My sister, your delusional condition has worsened!"

"Last time I said I would take you to see a doctor, but you were so afraid of your illness that you refused to go. Now you're all right, and you even have hallucinations that Mr. Shi is chasing you."

"I don't care. Let's take leave now and I'll accompany you to see a psychiatrist."

Lin You rubbed his aching temple and pulled Chen Lingling off his body.

"Okay, calm down. I'm not sick."

Chen Lingling said righteously, "Drunk people say they are not drunk, and sick people also say they are not sick! I will never believe you."

No matter what Lin You said, Chen Lingling didn't believe it and her head was dizzy.

Fortunately, Manager Hu called her and asked her to go back to work, so she was able to escape.
