Chapter 46: Qixi Date
When she heard there was a job, Li Qingqing immediately became excited and called Shen Lu.
"Hey, Lulu, what kind of job do you want to recommend to me?"
Shen Lu listened to her excited voice, and the guilt in his heart was reduced a little. It seemed that what happened that night did not affect her much.
"This job was offered to me by a friend of my brother, but I can't explain it clearly over the phone. How about I schedule a time with him and I'll be with you so we can talk in person?"
"Yeah, sure. Anyway, I don't have a job now, so I have plenty of time."
Li Qingqing was eager to get the job as soon as possible.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go make an appointment with him first, but..." Shen Lu thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, Chinese Valentine's Day, you should be dating Mr. Lu, right? Aren't you two together now?"
Chinese Valentine's Day? Date?
To be honest, she had never thought about such a thing. She had never been in a relationship or dated anyone, so she had no idea what to plan for Valentine's Day.
Besides, she and Lu Yan weren't in a relationship, so he probably wouldn't go on a Valentine's Day date with her...
But now she couldn't let Shen Lu know the true relationship between her and Lu Yanzhi, so Li Qingqing could only laugh it off and said, "He didn't mention anything about... dating to me. I guess there's no need for a date..."
For some reason, when talking about dating Lu Yan, Li Qingqing felt her face getting hot unconsciously, as if she was really discussing her boyfriend with her best friend.
This feeling was very strange. Even though she knew it was fake, the words "boyfriend", "Valentine's Day", and "date" coming out of her mouth were enough to make her shy. Besides, the face she wanted to bring was Lu Yan...
But Lu Yan could never become her boyfriend, and she had never thought about it.
Chen Lu on the other end of the phone exploded when he heard this, "What? No date? Didn't you just get together? He didn't even celebrate your first Valentine's Day together? Isn't this a complete scumbag? Qingqing, listen to me, when you look for a boyfriend, you must find one who cares about you, otherwise you will have a hard time in the future. You'd better keep your eyes open. I heard that these rich guys are more heartless than each other and will abandon you after sleeping with them for a while. Don't be fooled by him."
Li Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment after listening to Shen Lu's love advice. She estimated that if she didn't defend Lu Yan, he would gradually be ruined by Shen Lu's mouth.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "He didn't say he didn't want to date me... He just hasn't told me yet. Maybe he wants to give me a surprise secretly..."
"Oh... is that so?" Shen Lu had worried enough, so he stopped talking, but finally reminded her to stay sober in love.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qingqing opened the chat box with Lu Yan, wanting to ask him if he had any plans for Valentine's Day, but she deleted the message halfway through.
"Li Qingqing, what are you thinking? Why would he date you? You two aren't really a couple!"
Li Qingqing warned herself sternly.
She returned to her room, picked up the medical book and put all distracting thoughts behind her.
Although I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to work in Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future, it never hurts to learn more knowledge.

Fengze Building.
Several female employees were discussing their date arrangements for the Chinese Valentine's Day. When Lu Yan passed by them, he overheard a few words.
"I hope my boyfriend can be more realistic this year and take the initiative to arrange dates. Otherwise, I always have to bring it up, which makes me look so cheap."
"I'm not saying this, but men are much more realistic than women in love. Sometimes they either forget about various holidays or they're just pretending to be stupid and don't want to spend money."
"Nana is right. My ex-boyfriend and I broke up last Valentine's Day. I broke up with him in the morning, and he went to spend Valentine's Day with his new lover in the afternoon. It seems he had planned it all along and was waiting for me to break up first. I don't have to be the bad guy."
Listening to their conversation, Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh that in today's world, men's reputation is really getting worse and worse.
Li Qingqing's face appeared in his mind. She was usually very angry and dissatisfied with him. He wondered if she thought he was also a scumbag in her heart.
…
Today, Lu Yan was going to the branch office to hold a meeting with employees. When he walked out of Fengze Building, he saw Shen Xing had parked his car at the door waiting for him.
The car started, and Lu Yan asked Chen Xing curiously, "Chen Xing, do you have a girlfriend?"
Chen Xing was the assistant Lu Mingqi assigned to him. He hadn't been with him for very long, so he really didn't know much about his relationship status.
Shen Xing was a little confused about his boss's question, "Boss Lu, I don't have a girlfriend, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Lu Yan: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you what kind of dates girls usually look forward to."
Shen Xing smiled evilly, seeming to be very knowledgeable about this issue.
"Girls generally don't mind the content of a date. A date usually involves eating and watching a movie. They care more about the guy's attitude towards the date."
Chen Xing steered the car around an intersection and continued, "Boys must take the initiative and arrange everything in advance, while girls can just enjoy the romance of the date. Oh, of course, if it's a holiday, gifts are a must. They don't need to be expensive, but the thought must be there. Girls are actually very easy to get along with. As long as boys show enough sincerity and attitude, the relationship is guaranteed to get better and better."
Lu Yan listened to his clear and logical explanation, and was puzzled. "Don't you have a girlfriend? How do you know so much about girls' thoughts?"
Shen Xing: “I have a wife.”
Lu Yan: “…”
I didn't expect that Shen Xing is already married. From the looks of him, it seems that his married life is pretty good.
So he asked him curiously: "How did you catch your wife?"
When Chen Xing heard this, he raised his voice instantly, "Boss Lu, you seem to be looking down on me. When I was with my wife, she was the one who took the initiative to pursue me."
Lu Yan was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Xing, who usually looked honest and proper, was actually a master of love. He hurriedly asked humbly, "Master Shen, do you have any secrets to love?"
When Chen Xing was called by Lu Yan, he instantly gained confidence. Today he must teach his boss Lu a good lesson. "Girls, you can't just chase them, you have to attract them."
When Lu Yan heard this, he thought it made sense, so he continued to ask, "How do you attract people?"
Shen Xing was driving and dancing, and when he was happy, he even took both hands off the steering wheel at the same time.
"If you want to attract a girl, you must first find an opportunity for her to discover your strengths and advantages. If she is impressed by your strengths, it would be strange if she doesn't fall in love with you."
Lu Yan felt that Shen Xing’s words made sense, and after thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Qingqing.
