He Jinxing did not reject the news of his dating social behavior, which made the front page of Jiangcheng Morning Post the next day.

Gou Yu nearly spit out a mouthful of coffee onto the newspaper at the breakfast table, shaking the newspaper and saying speechlessly, "Is there really no good news to write about recently? Do you have to bring up something like 'He Jinxing is not opposed to dating' to irritate the eyes of us old people who still read paper newspapers?"

Jiang Yuan took the newspaper and glanced at it, and said, "But I don't think he meant to invite everyone to rush forward, but that he already has a confirmed target?"

Gou Yu: "How is that possible?"

Jiang Yuan: "How is it impossible?"

Gou Yu: "Every day he is either in the office losing his temper or meeting with us to discuss the Jinshan Wharf. How did he suddenly confirm the target?"

Jiang Yuan covered his mouth and laughed: "Maybe he fell in love with some rich girl at the coming-of-age banquet a few days ago, and he came back and spread this kind of news... Oh, it's true! You can go ask Chen Jinli, who was Mr. He close to during those days?"

——and me.

Sitting opposite his parents, Gou An spread a thick layer of strawberry jam on the toast with a sluggish face, "What's wrong, are you going to compete too?"

"What?" Jiang Yuan put down the newspaper.

"Now there is an atmosphere in Jiangcheng that all families with young women of marriageable age will rush to move up," Gou An took a bite of toast, "If our family doesn't rush, it will seem a bit out of place, right?"

Gou Yu completely lost his appetite for breakfast after hearing this. He folded up the newspaper and stuffed it under the table. His resistance was obvious.

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted his daughter's hand: "Don't joke with your father like this, he is very fragile. To be honest, Mr. He is not a good match for you. You will definitely be bullied if you are with him."

“…”

Already been bullied.

Under the guise of being "responsible"...

This should also be considered a form of bullying, right?

Gou An finished his toast in a few bites, clapped his hands, and began to pack his schoolbag.

While checking the class schedule and throwing out the unwanted, heavy professional books from his bag, Gou Yu picked up his phone and said to Jiang Yuan in an absurd tone as if he had been notified that the earth would explode tomorrow: "He Jinxing asked me how I pursued you back then--"

The person packing the schoolbag paused.

Gou Yu: "'Press the person against the wall and kiss him.' Send - sent."

Gou An: “…”

Jiang Yuan: "What the hell are you teaching?"

Gou Yu: "We were popular with this back then, wasn't it? Don't worry, he's He Jinxing, how could he believe it? Look at the message, he replied with six dots and an eye-rolling emoji... This guy is getting more and more fashionable, he even uses emoticons."

"The word 'keeping up with the fashion' is quite retro." Gou An muttered.

Gou Yu had had enough fun and was pushed by Jiang Yuan to go out to work. Perhaps he was really inspired by his own nonsense text messages, and the person standing at the door insisted on getting a goodbye kiss before he would leave.

Gou An walked straight past the loving couple and climbed into another car with her schoolbag on her back. When she sat firmly in the car, she tilted her head to look out the window. The white Rolls-Royce was still parked quietly in the yard next door.

She looked away.

Inside He's house.

He Jinxing indeed hasn't left the house yet.

As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard Secretary Liu reporting the appointment invitation. This process lasted from the time he took a shower in the morning to the time he had breakfast. His appetite was seriously affected, so he went out half an hour later than usual.

"Hou Yuning, the director of Huiyao Group, invites you to have dinner at ST Restaurant on Saturday." Secretary Liu patiently read the last item, "Do you remember Huiyao? He started out as a real estate developer in Yancheng, and has recently been trying to find a biotech company to cooperate with. A few years ago, you were a little interested in this company--"

He Jinxing had been listening to nonsense all morning and finally heard something pleasant. He turned around and glanced at Secretary Liu out of compassion.

"Mr. Hou has a daughter who is studying for a master's degree in the UK. It looks like she will be back this Wednesday..."

He Jinxing turned his head back again.

He had been listening to invitations from families all morning. Since the interview, this strange trend has become unstoppable...

Even the old man at the breakfast table poked at the newspaper and asked him, "Have you figured it out?"

I'm so annoyed that I can only play with my phone.

He Jinxing skipped over a group of onlookers who were wishing him a happy marriage and saying that there had been a major reshuffle in the love world of Jiangcheng's playboys last night, and pulled out a person named Gou Yu from the chat list. After brushing off the dust, he remembered Chen Jinli and Jiang Yi's evaluation of Mr. Gou: the only person who had pursued girls properly when he was young.

I asked tentatively for some unknown reason.

The result was an answer that was worse than pigs and dogs.

Today, the person in charge of the He family did not have the same spring-like smile on his face as usual. The moment he got out of the car, he frowned slightly, and his face clearly showed "impatience"...

Everyone in the He family felt uneasy that morning, and they subconsciously lowered their footsteps when walking.

At lunch time, Secretary Liu, under tremendous pressure, bravely reminded He Jinxing that he had agreed to have lunch with Mr. Li from Sanjian to discuss the renovation and reconstruction of shanties near Jinshan Wharf, and asked him whether he still wanted to attend.

The man who was looking through the documents raised his head and asked expressionlessly: "What's wrong? Is there any reason not to go?"

Secretary Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Li said that the Spanish restaurant is near Jiangcheng C University, and the family member just got off school, so he asked if you mind adding a chair--"

He Jinxing: "Mind."

Secretary Liu: “…”

Look, look, look! ! ! !

He Jinxing threw away the folder in his hand and loosened his collar in an unusually irritable manner. "Mr. Li needs to reunite with his family, so I won't bother him any more. I replied to his message and told him that the restaurant reservation is still available and he can go without worry. As for discussing business, we can make an appointment another day."

The man stood up as he spoke, opened the drawer and felt around, but he didn't find the cigarette box. He looked down and found that the stock was gone...

I was busy recently and forgot to ask the secretary to help me make up for it.

At this moment, as if he remembered something, he paused in his action of rummaging through the drawer.

Across the table, Secretary Liu was carefully observing the changes in his boss's face. He saw that he seemed to have failed to find cigarettes. At that moment, he was furious to the extreme and wanted to run away.

But the next moment, the man's brows suddenly relaxed, and his dark eyeballs moved in his eye sockets.

"No more cigarettes."

"…………Okay, as long as you don't lose your temper, I'll have someone -"

"never mind."

"Quit it? It seems like it was God's guidance."

“…”

Oh my god.

Secretary Liu said "Oh" with a paralyzed face. He had already prepared a draft in his mind on how to go to the company's small group privately to spread the gossip headlines such as "Mr. He is possessed by a ghost" and "Mr. He wants to quit smoking".

The last lunch changed from Spanish food to the Japanese omakase restaurant that forced us to eat. In fact, He Jinxing doesn't like Japanese food. He chose this restaurant just because it has a strong privacy and the excellent service staff can habitually ignore everything...

This gave him a temporary feeling of relief.

"Mr. He, who has suddenly become popular after his big talk, you don't have anyone else to date, right?"

Sitting in the compartment, Chen Jinli kicked the man who was leaning on the seat opposite him.

"I have fed half of my son in the sea tank, and he ran out to eat with you."

The kick was not light, but the man's only reaction was to lazily lift his eyelids. The next second, his eyes fell back on the phone, "I asked Gou Yu this morning how to pursue someone."

Chen Jinli was stunned.

"He said that pressing people against the wall and kissing them was very popular back then."

Chen Jinli fell into silence for a few seconds, his mind full of Gou Yu: He was probably in his early forties, so why were the things that were popular in their era so ancient?

"Why are you asking him something like this...wait, you don't believe it?" Chen Jinli was dumbfounded.

"I don't believe it." He Jinxing put down his phone, sat up, picked up the chopsticks, and rolled a piece of tuna in the wasabi. "Before he made this outrageous suggestion, I had already tried to do this."

Then got tickled.

It was so swollen that I had to apply foundation for three or four days.

This morning I saw that the mark was not so obvious.

He swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach, ignoring the wide-eyed Chen Jinli on the other side of the table. He probably didn't expect that this meal was not just about eating. It turned out that the iron tree that had bloomed came to his tree hole because it felt that its flowers were not beautiful enough.

Strange.

"Who did you do this to?"

"It's none of your business."

"Is this the attitude you should have when you force someone out to eat with you in the middle of the day?"

“I don’t want you to pay.”

He Jinxing's face showed that he refused to cooperate. Chen Jinli was too lazy to talk to him. He knew that this man was probably very annoyed by the news that was on the front page of the newspaper this morning and had taken him out to hide.

The food was served one by one, and the next one came after one was finished. Chen Jinli ate with the frowning face of the man opposite him, who looked like he was taking medicine. He filled the two hours of lunch break with seven dishes of wine and thirteen pieces of sushi.

The last dessert was the recently popular Dassai ice cream. It was non-alcoholic but had the aroma of fermented glutinous rice, which made it very famous among young girls.

Chen Jinli thought it was disgusting for two grown men to eat ice cream face to face, so he picked up a spoon as soon as the dessert was served and wanted to finish it quickly.

At this time, the man who had been sitting opposite him motionless, eating in agony and only reluctantly finishing all the food because he was afraid that the chef would come and ask, sat up.

He grabbed the ice cream which still had a thin layer of frost on it and took a look at it, then slapped Chen Jinli's hand away and put the ice cream back on the tray as it was.

Then he took out his cell phone and took a picture.

Chen Jinli: “?”

Chen Jinli: "When did Mr. He develop this hobby?"

He Jinxing fell back to his original position with a depressed look on his face, tapped his phone twice, and said without raising his head: "You've eaten it all. Autumn is here. Why are you eating ice cream? This store is going to close down."

“…”

It's so popular that the reservation has to be made after New Year's Day next year, thank you.

The character of the old antique is still very solid.

When Gou An's cell phone screen lit up, she was eating in the school cafeteria.

She was just telling Tang Xinjiu that there were a lot of pork ribs and lotus roots today, and whether there was some happy event in the kitchen. She turned her head to look at the screen of her mobile phone, and out of habit, she thought "Oh, WeChat" and turned her head away again.

She took another mouthful of rice and stopped chewing without warning. The screen on her phone that she had seen just a second ago flashed back in her mind. She suddenly realized that the name of the sender of the WeChat message she had just seen seemed unusual.

So I threw the spoon away and picked up the phone, and saw Crayon Shin-chan's head flashing at the front of the message bar -

The picture sent to me was of the recently popular Dassai ice cream. Judging from the background, it should be the Japanese restaurant in Jiangcheng that is hard to get in touch with. They usually end their meal with various ice cream products as dessert.

But the other party just sent a picture without any captions. Gou An, with a question mark on her head, replied: Hmm? He Jinxing didn't reply to her, which probably meant: Nothing else, I just thought I should show it to you.

Gou An thought about it and felt that this big guy was probably just learning the "Sharing Life" project and was quite unsteady.

She was much bolder through the phone screen and couldn't help but want to type some words to tease him.

[Don't be afraid, I can win: Lunch? Sharing life details or something, is this another new trick given to you by some unreliable person? ]

This time the other party replied very quickly.

[HJX: What's the new trick? ]

[Don’t be afraid, I can win: I was right next to you when you sent a WeChat message to my dad this morning. ]

【HJX:? 】

[Don't be afraid, I can win: Are your toes digging into the ground? 】

This time it was about five minutes.

The person on the other end responded in a cute and overly honest way.

【HJX: A little bit.】
