Chapter 224: Conspiracy and Matchmaking

Han Yilian's plan failed, and she was brought in front of Boss Gu, where she lost face and bit her lip in resentment.

Although she acted a bit exaggerated, those memories were not wrong. They all appeared in her mind last night. They were very different from her experiences in her previous life, but more in line with her thoughts and wishes in this life.

She guessed that maybe God saw that Yu Ruwei had taken away her golden finger, so he gave her the memories of her reborn life in advance, so that she could better verify the predictive ability she had fabricated for herself.

What does this mean?

This shows that she is the one favored by God. Even if Yu Ruwei uses any means to snatch her golden finger, she will never be able to compete with her!

In her previous life, she was too careless, otherwise she would never have been defeated by this man.

Because she believed that she was blessed by God, Han Yilian's confidence swelled to the point that she thought she could use a little trick to make Zhu Yan, who had just been abandoned by his girlfriend, surrender to her. For this reason, she even used herself as a bargaining chip and seduced him with her love.

When others abandoned him and didn't understand his good side, she appeared beside him with such deep affection, telling him that she was his true love, and she was crazy about him. How could she not be moved and remembered?

With him, her weakness in martial arts was made up. Coupled with her brain and the memories of her past and present lives, she was sure that no one would underestimate her anymore.

By then, Boss Gu would only be qualified to be her stepping stone, so how could he be picky about her?

Han Yilian had a good plan, but someone didn't buy it, causing her to fail right from the start and suffer a complete setback.

That would have been fine, but the key point was that Zhu Yan was not a human being. No matter how she lobbied and begged for mercy, it was useless. He insisted on taking her to Boss Gu to demand an explanation.

Coincidentally, Yu Ruwei was there too, watching her make a fool of herself.

Han Yilian felt ashamed and almost hated Zhu Yan, the culprit, to death. She cursed him inwardly and said that he deserved to be abandoned. No wonder in her memories of this life, she would rather own a forest than hang on his crooked tree. It must be because his tree was not good, not because she couldn't hang on it.

Seeing her utterly miserable state, Yu Ruwei didn't add insult to injury. Instead, she maintained her beautiful and elegant demeanor and smiled, saying, "Even if you're desperate, you wouldn't go after a man who's already taken, right? Don't you have enough men chasing you under Brother Gu? Don't you have any interest in any of them?"

"Whatever you say, I'm just trying to help Brother Gu recruit helpers, and I have a clear conscience." Han Yilian avoided the main point, trying to maintain her shaky self-esteem and shattered face.

In fact, she barely even caught the eye of Boss Gu, but unfortunately he had no feelings for her. Apart from the candlelight dinner that day, he did not take any further action and became more and more rude to her.

What could she do? She could only shift her focus and demonstrate her own value.

The reason why she chose Zhu Yan was that she knew from her memory that he had good fighting skills, and she was also obsessed with the memory of her own failure. Otherwise, how could she easily play the card of her favor and end up losing more than she gained.

Boss Gu turned a blind eye to their quarrel and even seemed to be condoning it.

Zhu Yan knocked on the ground impatiently, reminding them not to go off topic. The shining tungsten steel knife in his hand made people breathless.

Ever since his strength was exposed, he's stopped pretending and has become even more assertive, more violent, and more reckless, his motto being "Stop talking nonsense and fight if you don't agree!"

Now he was dissatisfied with Han Yu and the other's nagging, and he wanted to beat them up.

There is no such thing as not beating women for him. After all, everyone is a human being for the first time. If you provoke him, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, he will beat you up.

Han Yilian and Yu Ruwei were stared at by his gloomy eyes, and the malice in his eyes towards them was almost overflowing, so they shut up instantly.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu, we can talk it out, don't get excited." Boss Gu spoke to mediate, intending to take the opportunity to recruit Zhu Yan to his team.

He was not as confident and arrogant as Han Yilian, who wanted to tame this widowed and violent lone wolf with some simple means.

But you can try to recruit them, or cooperate with them.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yan was not interested in any of this. He just wanted to use Han Yilian's matter to ask Boss Han to give him the route and credentials to the survival base.

He knew that he was still in contact with the survival base, and it was unknown when they would come again, so he planned to go there himself.

Boss Gu knew that this would be his purpose. Even if Han Yilian hadn't provided him with evidence, he would have used other methods.

Alas, if someone’s heart is not with you, you can’t keep him. It’s better to do him a favor and establish a good relationship with him.

So Zhu Yan got what he wanted with satisfaction and left without looking back.

Han Yilian glanced at his back and lowered her head to hide the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

Yu Ruwei twisted her increasingly thin waist and said dissatisfiedly, "Is he blind? He can't even see a beauty like me and only remembers that yellow-haired girl. What a foolish boy."

"A naive boy is a perfect match for a young girl. A beauty like you should be matched with a mature and steady man..." Boss Gu flirted with her as if no one was around, and with just a few words he made Yu Ren tremble with joy and blush.

Han Yilian was like a big light bulb beside them, full of humiliation and embarrassment, her nails piercing the palms of her hands.

Yu Ruwei, Yu Ruwei, why do you always steal my things and block my way!

And Boss Gu, how could he be so superficial that he could be blinded by that stinky skin? Even if it was for the spiritual spring water, there was no need to humble himself like this.

The comparison between the two makes Zhu Yan's preciousness and loyalty even more apparent. He is a rare helper and partner.

He is just too blind. As long as that yellow-haired girl is around, he can't see anyone else.

Han Yilian therefore silently made a note of Rong Zhen.

Rongzhen rubbed her nose, feeling a little itchy.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is getting warmer and the temperature is rising rapidly, but the water vapor in the air is gradually increasing. Some dust and impurities are also evaporating into the air along with the water vapor as the sea ice melts, causing many people to suffer from rhinitis recently.

She worked as a handyman in the pharmacy department and saw many people coming with prescriptions from the diagnosis and treatment department to apply for rhinitis medicine.

Rongzhen doesn't want to become one of them because rhinitis medicine is too expensive. The points she spends on one course of treatment are enough for her to eat in the cafeteria for three months.

She hasn't even been working for three months.

In the eyes of outsiders, she appears to be quite stingy... ahem, quite thrifty. Apart from food and some necessities, she almost never spends money lavishly. She gets along with her roommates and colleagues in a plain and simple way, neither close nor hostile. She goes to and from work all day long, and her life is stagnant and calm, and she is content with her poverty.

Then she was successfully noticed by her boss in the medical department, who said he wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend.

Rongzhen: ...

It's the end of the world, who has time to talk about love?

But the boss said that the natural disaster was over, and so many people had died. The survivors should make more contributions to restore the population and start a new life.

Rongzhen was covered with a big hat and had nothing to say. She couldn't say that there was more after the natural disaster.

She had no plans to get married and have children before the disaster was over. She just wanted to survive and try to complete all her wishes.

However, her boss was so enthusiastic about matchmaking, as if he was trying to meet some target, that she couldn't refuse and had to agree to meet him.

Otherwise, she can forget about working here anymore.

It would be strange for Rongzhen to feel comfortable being forced into this position. She decided not to agree after the meeting. If she still couldn't cope with it this way, she would just change departments.

She still had a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in her space, so she just took out some as a gift. She didn't believe that no one would accept them.

In the evening of the day they were going to meet, Rongzhen didn't go home to clean up after work. She went directly to the agreed cafeteria to meet and eat at the same time, so as not to delay either.

While waiting in line, a gentle voice sounded behind her.

"Hello, Miss Jin, I'm Li Ming."

Li Ming was the boyfriend candidate introduced to her by Rongzhen's boss.

When Rongzhen heard the name, she turned around and saw a young man in a white coat and glasses.

The man had a handsome face and looked a few years older than her. He was of medium height, had clean nails, and emanated a faint smell of disinfectant.

"Hello, I'm Jin Zhen, nice to meet you."

The two shook hands and fell into an awkward situation where they had nothing to talk about.

Rongzhen guessed that he might have been forced into this, so she wanted to tell him directly, "Actually, I..." she didn't plan to find a boyfriend.

"I know you." Li Ming interrupted her and continued, "My mother has met you a few times and thinks you are good at living. She wants me to date you. Now that the natural disaster has just passed, everything is in ruins and the population is naturally the same. My mother said that the number of girls of marriageable age has decreased a lot, and if we meet the right one, we should act quickly. So she asked someone to introduce us. I think you are a good person. After we get married, we can have more children. My mother likes many children and it will benefit both society and ourselves. What do you think?"

Rongzhen didn't think it was very good.

First of all, she thanked him for his honesty. Secondly, the repeated mention of "my mother" in his words and the request for many children and blessings made her feel suffocated.

Not to mention that she has no plans to get married now, even if she did, she wouldn't want to choose him.

The first impression was good, but his true colors were revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Rong Zhen is not lucky enough to enjoy this kind of exquisite product.

But before she could open her mouth to refuse, there was a commotion at the cafeteria entrance.

"What's going on?" Everyone in the queue in front looked around curiously.

The person at the end of the line quickly relayed the news, "The exploration team is back, bringing new members with them for dinner. They all have broad shoulders, narrow waists, and long legs, and are a feast for the eyes."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started slurping their saliva and joking, waiting to take a good look at the handsome guy after their meal.

Rongzhen took the opportunity to reject Li Ming, "I don't think we are suitable."

Li Ming frowned in surprise: "I think you should think about it again. No one is more suitable for you than me."

Rongzhen was speechless. This guy was not only a mama's boy, but also narcissistic.

She shook her head and said bluntly: "Don't think about it, I'm sure."

Li Ming didn't understand. "You haven't even tried it, how can you be so sure? My mother has always been very good at judging people. You will definitely make a good daughter-in-law for her."

But you can't be a good husband to me!

Rongzhen was secretly dissatisfied and felt tired.

I feel like this guy is not only a narcissistic mama's boy, but also stubborn and difficult to communicate with.

If this kind of person became her other half, she would live twenty years less.

In the end, neither of them was able to convince the other, and they were already in line at the food window.

Rongzhen prepared the meal and left quickly.

Li Ming followed with the food, wanting to give her some more ideological education.

When passing by the back of the team, Rongzhen stopped and saw a very unexpected person.

The other party was standing with his arms folded and his legs crossed, looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, as if he was saying "don't get close to me". Both in front and behind him were members of the base exploration team, so one could imagine his current identity.

"Come on, find a place quickly, and I'll continue to talk to you about us." Li Ming caught up and urged.
