The next day, Cheng Qicai and Yun Suni came to their house again.
Because a relative from their hometown was coming here for surgery, Mr. Cheng and Ms. Yun went to help, so they couldn't attend Yun Su Ni's proposal ceremony. However, Yun Ru Cheng still felt that they should have a meal together to formally announce their engagement to them.
When Cheng Qicai and her group arrived, Ms. Yun and her group were already there, chatting about something.
Ms. Yun, in particular, looked radiant and visibly happy; I wonder what good news she must have had.
As soon as Cheng Qicai entered, she noticed several people staring at her.
She was completely baffled; she shouldn't be that famous enough to attract everyone's attention.
Besides, the main characters today are Yun Suni and Lu Qi, so why are you staring at her like that?
She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do anything, did I?"
"No, no," Yun Rucheng laughed. "I just wanted to see you."
"What's so interesting about me? I'm so weird," Cheng Qicai thought to herself.
This strange feeling continued into the mealtime.
"Qicai, now that you have a stable job, are you interested in making new friends?" Yun Rucheng suddenly asked her.
"A new friend?" Cheng Qicai didn't react.
Yun Rucheng said slowly, "It's like this, I have a student here, and I think you two are quite suitable. Would you like to get to know each other?"
"Huh?" Cheng Qicai almost spat out her food.
This... is too subtle. She asked why she was concerned about whether she had any new friends. It turns out that this "friend" is not the same as that "friend".
She knew that once her sister's matter was settled, they would have to worry about her, but this was happening way too fast!
Yun Su Ni had just gotten engaged the day before, and the next day they started pressuring her to get married.
Even a rocket launch isn't as fast as this!
"Hehe, I'm still young!" Cheng Qicai tried to play dumb and get away with it.
Hearing her say that, Ms. Yun immediately became dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? Look, Su Ni's matter has already been settled, and you're still here making irresponsible remarks. I think you're asking for a beating..."
"Hey, Beixiu, don't talk to the child like that, just talk to her properly." Yun Rucheng pulled Ms. Yun back.
He then looked at Cheng Qicai and said in a kind tone, "He is one of my students. I usually interact with him, and he is a pretty good person. He is hardworking and considerate. His family is in City A, and his parents run a small business. They are well-off."
“Let me show you the photo. The young man is really quite good.” Yun Rucheng handed her his phone. “He’s about 1.78 meters tall and only three years older than you, twenty-six years old.”
Cheng Qicai took the phone and glanced at it. It didn't have the same kind of cool vibe as Ji Xing; it was just the kind of cool that was pretentious.
It's an ID photo. The boy in the photo is fair-skinned, slightly chubby, and has a smiling face. He looks like a very good-tempered person.
Yun Rucheng asked, "How is it?"
Cheng Qicai neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply said, "Uncle, you have PhDs working under you. My educational background is so poor, I'm afraid they won't even look at me. Maybe we should just forget about it."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Yun raised her eyebrows, as if about to erupt in anger again. "You make excuses for everything, and I'd like to see if you, a man in your thirties, still have any excuses left to make for being a bachelor?"
Cheng Qicai was speechless. How did I, a 23-year-old girl in the prime of my life, become a 30-something-year-old bachelor?
Cheng Qicai was unconvinced.
Yun Rucheng assured her, "No, this boy's family is quite open-minded, and he himself doesn't value these things. If he had such requirements for a partner, I wouldn't have introduced you to him; wouldn't that just cause trouble for everyone?"
"Dad, are you talking about Ren Baiping?" Yun Suni suddenly asked.
“Yes, it’s him.” Song Luo nodded.
“Qicai, I’ve met him. He’s a really nice person. You could try getting to know him,” Yun Suni suggested.
Hearing Yun Su Ni say the same thing, it seemed that she was indeed a good person, and Cheng Qi Cai hesitated.
"Qicai, it's nothing. Just meet her, treat it as meeting a new friend. Marriage isn't just about education. Look at you, you have a good attitude and a good personality. Your sister doesn't have that advantage," Song Luo added, trying to comfort her.
But those are all the advantages she has. Cheng Qicai is well aware of her strengths and weaknesses.
“Your uncle and his family must have thought it was a good fit for them to introduce you to someone. You can go and take a look before making a decision,” Mr. Cheng chimed in from the side.
"Then... I'll go take a look," Cheng Qicai said hesitantly.
“Okay, then I’ll talk to him tomorrow and ask him to add your contact information,” Yun Rucheng said happily.
Cheng Qicai nodded: "Okay!"
Cheng Qicai didn't feel anything about this blind date. Ever since her blind date with Ji Xing last time, she had started to avoid blind dates altogether.
He was praised very highly last time, but it turned out he was just a pretentious guy.
But this time it was introduced by my uncle, so it should be much more reliable, right?
Moreover, everyone around her is in a relationship, and she doesn't have a suitable person to meet right now, so this can be considered a new avenue, right?
Although she was somewhat looking forward to it, she didn't feel the nervousness she had on her first blind date; she just went with the flow.
When she went to work the next day, she didn't quite remember the incident and went about her work as usual.
It wasn't until noon that she saw an application message. When Cheng Qicai saw the application time, more than two hours had passed.
She clicked "agree" and explained to the other party that she had been busy with work and hadn't noticed.
She has two accounts, one for work and one for personal use.
She logs her work ID onto the company computer as soon as she arrives at work, but only logs her personal ID onto her phone. She only checks her phone when she has free time, which is why it took her more than two hours to see it.
The other person quickly replied: [I understand. Sometimes Teacher Yun assigns homework, which keeps us from checking our phones.]
When Cheng Qicai heard him make a little joke about his uncle, she felt that their relationship had become much closer.
However, she was indeed busy today. After exchanging a few words with him, she continued with her work.
