In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.

Because the two families had agreed to meet on Saturday at noon, Yuan's father, Yuan's mother and Yuan Feng chose to leave today, planning to rest for a night in the provincial capital of Guangxi Province. This would give them more time to meet the next day and they wouldn't have to rush.

In addition to the Yuan family, Chen's mother also rushed to the provincial capital from her hometown today. As a mother, she naturally would not be absent from her daughter's blind date.

Only the heroine Chen Fengmei did not leave. The house her father rented only had one bedroom and one living room, and there was no place for her to live. If she rushed to the provincial capital today, she would have to spend extra money to stay in a hotel, which would be too wasteful for her.

In addition, Guilin is not far from the provincial capital, and the high-speed rail only takes more than two hours to get there, so Chen Fengmei decided that it would not be too late to arrive in the provincial capital on Saturday morning.

Just as the Yuan and Chen families rushed to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province to meet tomorrow, Li Mei, who was far away in City E of Zhejiang Province, was packing her luggage in her rental house.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Li Mei and her best friend Zhao Lifei are going to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province to find Master Jiang to ask for a matchmaking.

As a pregnant woman whose belly is already visible, Li Mei still has mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she is afraid of being laughed at by others, after all, it is still very rare for pregnant women to go on blind dates. On the other hand, she is worried that she may not be able to find the person she wants with a big belly.

After packing her luggage, Li Mei called her best friend Zhao Lifei and asked, "Lifei, have you packed your luggage?"

Concubine Zhao Lifei said, "I haven't packed yet. Anyway, I'm only going to stay for one night and I won't need to bring too many things. I'll just pack briefly when I get back in the evening."

Li Mei said: "That's fine, then you can come to my place for dinner after get off work."

Concubine Zhao Lifei said: "Okay, just cook two simple dishes. After all, you are a pregnant woman, don't overwork yourself!"

Li Mei smiled and said, "It's just a simple meal, it's not tiring at all. But we really can't cook too much, because we are going to the capital of Guangxi Province tomorrow, and it would be a waste if we don't finish it."

"Well, just keep it in mind. I'm going to be busy!"

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up now!"

…

Saturday.

After breakfast, Concubine Zhao Lifei drove Li Mei straight to the train station and then took the high-speed train to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province.

At the same time, Chen Fengmei, who worked in Guilin, also boarded the high-speed train to the provincial capital.

Women are really born with a talent for makeup. Today is an important day for Chen Fengmei's blind date, so she must dress herself up beautifully so that she can get extra points on the blind date.

In the morning, Chen Fengmei had only finished matching her hair and clothes, shoes, and bags. She had not had time to do the more time-consuming makeup.

However, for women, as long as they have a makeup bag, they can put on makeup anytime and anywhere, and it is not uncommon to put on makeup on the high-speed rail.

So, after the high-speed train started moving, Chen Fengmei took out her makeup bag as if no one was around, took out a mirror and various cosmetics from the bag, and began to put on makeup seriously.

Sitting next to Chen Fengmei was also a pretty young girl, who looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her face was made up very skillfully, and it was obvious at first glance that she was an expert in this field.

Originally, the young lady was secretly surprised to see that Chen Fengmei, who was sitting next to her, was going out without makeup. After all, in this era, nine out of ten young ladies who go out wear makeup, the only difference is whether it is heavy makeup or light makeup.

Those who really go out without makeup are either natural beauties whose flaws can’t be found even with a magnifying glass, or ugly women who have long given up on being saved.

Chen Fengmei has nothing to do with either, so she shouldn't go out without makeup.

It was not until Chen Fengmei took out her makeup bag and started to put on makeup that the young lady suddenly realized that she was in a hurry to catch the bus and had no time to put on makeup.

The young lady, who was a professional makeup expert, couldn't help but observe Chen Fengmei's makeup techniques. After watching for less than three minutes, she couldn't help but say, "Sister, your steps are wrong, and your techniques are not good enough. You should do this first... and then this..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengmei looked at the young lady sitting next to her. She got on the bus earlier than the young lady. When the young lady sat next to her, she just glanced at her casually and her mind was not on her.

Now taking a closer look, she discovered that the other person was a very beautiful young lady with extremely skillfully applied makeup that blended perfectly with her appearance, which made Chen Fengmei admire her to the core.

Although she knows how to put on makeup, she learned her techniques from some short videos, which is just average. The makeup she puts on is only slightly better than her natural look. It is completely not on the same level as the young lady in front of her.

Knowing that she had met a makeup master who was willing to give her advice, Chen Fengmei naturally would not miss the opportunity to learn, so she stopped and exchanged makeup experiences with the other party.

As a result, the more Chen Fengmei talked, the more surprised she was. The other party's makeup skills were so superb that every word she said hit the nail on the head. She wanted to take out a small notebook to write down what the other party said.

It was so boring on the way that the young lady also became interested in the conversation. After obtaining Chen Fengmei's consent, she simply put makeup on Chen Fengmei while explaining the key points of makeup. Chen Fengmei was fascinated by the talk and even felt like she had attained enlightenment.

By the time the young lady finished explaining, her makeup was already done.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, Chen Fengmei couldn't believe her eyes. Is that really her? She is too beautiful!

At this moment, Chen Fengmei deeply felt how terrifying makeup, one of the four major evil arts in modern times, is.

Through chatting, Chen Fengmei also learned that the young lady's name was Liu Piaopiao. She was a professional makeup artist who had done makeup for many celebrities and was considered a top figure in the makeup artist circle.

Chen Fengmei praised him endlessly: "Sister Piaopiao, your makeup skills are amazing, but you made me look so beautiful that I don't know what to do!"

Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, "Isn't it nice to put on makeup?"

Chen Fengmei said awkwardly: "If I usually put on makeup to be so beautiful, it would be a good thing. After all, every woman loves beauty. But I'm going to go on a blind date at noon, and putting on makeup to be so beautiful is a bit inappropriate. Isn't this equivalent to cheating people!"

Liu Piaopiao was surprised and asked, "You're going on a blind date at noon?"

Chen Fengmei nodded and said, "Yes, we made an appointment a few days ago."

Liu Piaopiao patted her forehead and said, "If you're going on a blind date, it's indeed inappropriate to put on makeup like this. Why didn't you tell me just now?"

Chen Fengmei said embarrassedly: "I was busy learning from you just now. I wanted to write down the key points of the technology you talked about and study them slowly. How could I remember what I was supposed to do!"

Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is still enough time. Go to the sink and remove your makeup. I will put it on again for you!"

"Thank you Sister Piaopiao, I'm really sorry to bother you!"

"You're welcome. I'm free now anyway."

So Chen Fengmei stopped talking, took out her cell phone and took a few selfies, then she took out the makeup remover from her makeup bag and went to the sink to quickly remove her makeup.

After removing her makeup, Liu Piaopiao helped her put on makeup while explaining.

Soon, Liu Piaopiao put on a completely different makeup. This time the makeup was not as stunning and beautiful as before, but it cleverly concealed her shortcomings and magnified her strengths, making her look more real and much more beautiful than without makeup.

After finishing the makeup, Chen Fengmei looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, "Sister Piaopiao, your hands are really like a magician's. I really like this makeup!"

Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I hope this makeup can bring you good luck, so that your blind date at noon will go smoothly, and you can take the handsome guy you went on a blind date with home."

Miss Chen Feng smiled and said, "Sister Piaopiao, I appreciate your words. Let's add each other on WeChat. If my blind date is successful this time, I will definitely send you a red envelope to thank you."

Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your festive red envelope."

Next, the two added each other on WeChat and chatted all the way until they arrived at the station, then they stopped as they were still not satisfied.

…

noon.

In a private room of a restaurant in Xixiangtang, the Yuan and Chen families met formally.

When Yuan Feng saw Chen Fengmei for the first time, he felt quite pleasantly surprised. This blind date was even prettier than he had imagined.

Chen Fengmei had a good first impression of Yuan Feng. He was of average appearance, not handsome, but better than the average person. Plus, his parents were rich, which also enhanced the halo around him.

After Jiang Feng's introduction, both parties greeted each other and took their seats after some pleasantries.

They ordered the dishes politely, and after the waiter left the box, the two families started chatting together under Jiang Feng's guidance.

Both families were born in rural areas. Although the Yuan family is rich now, they were poor before, so the parents of both families have a lot of common topics.

As for Yuan Feng and Chen Fengmei, they grew up in similar environments, are both college graduates, and have similar salaries after work, so naturally they have a lot to talk about.

The most important thing about a blind date is to have something to talk about and not feel awkward.

If both parties just sit there staring at each other, then there is most likely no hope. If they sit there and happily chat about everything under the sun, then both parties will definitely be satisfied with the first impression and will both be willing to continue to have contact with each other.

After all, on a blind date, if you are not interested in the other person, there will definitely not be much to talk about. You may even just answer one question at a time, and you are eager to end this boring blind date as soon as possible.

Jiang Feng had a lot of experience in matchmaking. When he saw that the two families were getting along well, he knew that this marriage was inevitable, so he gave it a push and said to Yuan's mother, "Aunt Yuan, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Mother Yuan smiled and nodded to Chen's father and mother, then stood up and walked out of the box with Jiang Feng.

After leaving the box, Jiang Feng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Aunt Yuan, what do you think of this girl from the Chen family?"

"Very good, with a good appearance. From our conversation just now, I can see that she is a down-to-earth person, not too cunning. Every aspect of her suits my taste. Master Jiang, you have an impeccable vision, that's for sure." Yuan's mother gave a thumbs up and said.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Aunt Yuan, you are too kind. As long as you are satisfied, I have already told you the rules of blind dates here on the phone. I wonder if you have prepared the red envelopes?"

Mother Yuan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, don't worry, everything is ready. I will give this girl a red envelope of 1888 and her parents a red envelope of 888. That should be all right, right?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "This red envelope is enough to express your attitude."

After chatting for a few words, the two returned to the box, and then Jiang Feng called Chen's father out to talk.

"Uncle Chen, what do you think of this young man from the Yuan family?" Jiang Feng also went straight to the point.

Father Chen smiled and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, the person you introduced is really good. This guy looks just like in the photo. He is not the type who talks glibly and out of tune, nor is he the type who can't get anything out of him with a single blow. So far, he has given me a really good impression."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, now that you've said that, I have a plan in mind. I'll ask the two young people what they think. If they both think it's a good idea, then we can finalize the relationship as soon as possible."

Father Chen was surprised and asked, "Matchmaker Jiang, is it so fast?"

Jiang Feng said: "It will be easier for both of you if you settle it sooner. After all, your two families are too far away from each other and you are all busy with your own work. It's not easy to see each other."

Father Chen nodded and said, "That's right. It's not bad to first decide on the status in front of both parents, and then let the two young people talk about it themselves."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, this is what I think. Once they develop feelings for each other, getting married will be a natural thing."

"Well, then you can handle it, Matchmaker Jiang. I agree!"

"Okay, then I'll ask for their opinions first."

…

Next, Jiang Feng called out Yuan Feng and Chen Fengmei respectively and asked about their feelings and opinions.

The result is naturally good.

Before the two met, through Jiang Feng's introduction, they were quite satisfied with each other's conditions. Now that they met, they found that the other party was similar to what they imagined, so they naturally developed a good impression of each other.

Although their affection is not strong enough to get married right away, both of them said they could announce their relationship in front of their parents.

So, in just one meal, Yuan Feng and Chen Fengmei, with the help of Jiang Feng, confirmed their relationship in front of their parents.

When the show was over, Yuan's mother gave red envelopes to the three members of the Chen family and Jiang Feng, the matchmaker. Then Yuan's father and mother returned to the hotel contentedly, packed their luggage, checked out, and rushed to the train station to prepare to go home.

As for his son Yuan Feng, he stayed to date Chen Fengmei and would take the high-speed train back by himself tomorrow.

The next time they come will be when we discuss our son’s marriage, and then we can talk about the gift, set the wedding date, buy a house, etc., and everything can be done together.

Both Yuan's father and mother hope that this day will come sooner.
