Upon hearing this, Xu Shaoan put down his wine glass, took out a cigarette, and was about to light it when he heard the woman say, "I don't like cigarettes. Can you go outside to smoke?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaoan stared at the woman for a very long time, without lighting the cigarette he was holding.

The woman seemed to realize she had gone a bit too far. She closed the book and said, "I know you like Jiang Yu, but that has nothing to do with me. Just like you said, I am indeed not satisfied with this blind date, and even more dissatisfied with being with you. But I have no choice. I can only obey my family's arrangements. I also have someone I like, but liking someone isn't that important to my family."

She sighed, "I will marry you, have children, unless you tell your family to come to my house and call off the marriage. Maybe then I will thank you. Otherwise, I hope we can accept each other's living environment as soon as possible so that we can live together peacefully in the future."

Seeing that Xu Shaoan remained silent, the woman said, "If there's anything you're not satisfied with about me, you can tell me, and I'll change it."

Xu Shaoan remained silent for a long time.

He admitted that he was even more cowardly than the woman in front of him.

A woman can admit to him to his face that she has someone she likes, but he doesn't dare to refute a single word she says in front of her.

He stood up, walked towards the door, and just as he was about to light a cigarette, he crushed it and left the villa on his own.

After watching him leave, the woman took out her phone and opened her WeChat Moments.

Scrolling down through the Moments feed, I stopped at Jiang Yu's post. Looking at Jiang Yu in the video, I smiled, my eyes filled with envy.

Delicious Media.

Chen Cixiu spent the whole morning dealing with the matter and finally got it sorted out. In order not to delay things, he still had to have a conference call with each client.

This was agreed upon.

After the conference call ended, it was already past 3 p.m.

Apart from eating something in the morning, I didn't eat a single grain of rice at noon.

Since the rumor-spreading incident, Haochi Media has become incredibly popular.

Especially in terms of customer demographics, male customers now account for 40%.

This is an extremely exaggerated figure.

It's important to understand that boys and girls are different. Most boys, when they go to a restaurant, rarely look up any recipes or guides. They usually just walk into a restaurant, sit down quietly, order their food, and eat.

If the food isn't good after eating, most guys will finish it to avoid wasting food, making the restaurant think they made it delicious. However, after leaving, they'll silently remember the restaurant's name and never come back.

If you go to a good restaurant, as long as the price is fair and the taste is exactly the same, you will see a familiar NPC regularly spawning in that restaurant.

Moreover, this NPC doesn't care how delicious other food is; unless it's a group meal, they won't leave the restaurant.

The NPC will only disappear completely when the shop becomes unsuccessful, relocates, or goes out of business.

Therefore, judging from this public profile, Haochi Media is indeed very popular.

The key point is that these boys really brought a huge boost to Haochi Media's performance.

In just the past two days, Chen Cixiu has received many WeChat messages from businesses, all expressing their gratitude to Haochi Media.

There were even banners.

This is all thanks to Haochi Media's very strict procedures for vetting stores.

Chen Cixiu is also a fixed NPC.

In a small alleyway to the right of the restaurant opposite Haochi Media, the claypot rice there is incredibly delicious.

He had previously wanted to cooperate with them, but the two elderly people refused.

The two elderly people said that things are already very good now. If there were more customers, they would be too busy. They have been making claypot rice all their lives and have always been here.

Chen Cixiu asked for the reason, and with their skills, as long as they had the right reason, opening a larger store would not be a problem.

However, the two elderly people said that they were only staying here so that their children could come back to visit often, in case their children couldn't find them when they came back in the future.

They waited, and that was for a lifetime.

It was only later that they learned that the two elderly people's child had gone missing when he was six years old, and the two elderly people had been searching for him for ten years without success.

Thirty years have passed since then. They've grown old and can no longer find it. This shop was there even before their child was born.

Therefore, they are unwilling to move.

I hope the child will come back that day.

Chen Cixiu helped them with this.

However, after thirty years, they still haven't found it, so the hope is extremely slim.

Whether that child from back then is still alive is unknown.

Chen Cixiu arrived at the store and greeted the two elderly people as grandpa and grandma.

Upon seeing him approach, the two elderly people smiled broadly.

I made him a very delicious claypot rice.

Anyuan Financial.

Jiang Yuzheng finished the meeting.

She was about to pick up her phone to send a message to her newly engaged husband.

Then she saw Lin Xiaoxiao walk in, looking at her with a smile.

That smile seemed to be full of sympathy.

Jiang Yu stared at Lin Xiaoxiao curiously and asked, "Why does your smile give me a bad feeling?"

"Yeah, you're only just finding out?"

Lin Xiaoxiao found it funnier the more she thought about it, so she simply stopped pretending. Since no one could see it anyway, she laughed even louder.

Jiang Yu's ominous premonition grew stronger.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

"President Jiang, you're already so eager to text your husband right after getting engaged, aren't you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao truly lives up to her reputation as both secretary and friend; she has a firm grasp on President Jiang's psychology.

Seeing the curiosity on President Jiang's face, she teased, "Don't you want to get off work as soon as possible and go home for some alone time with your partner?"

"Yeah, but you're still better off than me. It's been so long and you still haven't found a boyfriend, and it's already a new year."

"You, you're making a personal attack."

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted.

Indeed, one becomes like the company one keeps.

This little mouth of hers, she would never have said such things before.

In the past, Jiang Yu could always scare her with just a glance.

If we hadn't become friends later, I wouldn't have been able to handle that look in my eyes.

But things are different now; her mouth has become venomous.

"Hmm, is it strange that my husband and I look alike? Is this what they call 'husband and wife look alike'?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Working like a beast of burden is bad enough, but now I have to be treated like a dog. The lunch I eat isn't even a proper meal; it's more like a pre-meal dessert. This is the real meal.

"Alright, I'll give you two some time alone. Here's today's itinerary, Mr. Jiang. If you're free, let's get ready and head out."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around.

It's so painful.

Jiang Yu has also learned to make personal attacks.

So what if I'm single?

Eat at your house... well, I shouldn't say that.

Jiang Yu was stunned. This... they've just gotten engaged and they're already going to live apart...
