Chapter 49 Blind Date Disruption NPC Appears Online
Luo Yan, burdened with unanswered questions and an arm wrapped in gauze, reluctantly got into Hui Yu'an's car.
Jiang Sui, that cunning man, has taken the word "perfunctory" to a whole new level.
She sent two zip archives, but the other person only unzipped the outermost file, keeping the core files locked and not revealing a single crucial piece of information.
That scoundrel! His mouth was so good when he was kissing her, but when he tried to ask her something serious, he shut it up like a clam that had come to life, not even a crack!
No, this can't go on.
Luo Yan suddenly sat up straight, a stubborn glint in her eyes.
The earth keeps turning no matter who's gone, so why can't Luo Yan live without Jiang Sui? If he's not going to tell, then she won't ask anymore. It'll be a good opportunity to expand her social circle and save herself from having to revolve around his ridiculous secret every day.
She grabbed Zeng Rong beside her, her tone resolute: "Granny Rong, you said you'd introduce me to someone, do you still have any connections? Arrange it!"
Zeng Rong was scrolling through messages in the work group when she heard this and turned around with wide, round eyes: "Are you serious? What about President Jiang...?"
"Don't mention him!" Luo Yan said firmly. "We're over! I want to make new friends, is that not allowed?"
“Okay! Great!” Zeng Rong nodded, but she was puzzled. What exactly happened between the two of them in Zong County? She didn’t dare to ask too many questions, and only wanted to report this important information to Luo Muyang as soon as possible.
When Luo Muyang received the call, he was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror. Upon hearing the call, he immediately pulled his tie askew.
"Blind date? What blind date! Who can compare to Jiang Sui?!" He paced around the office a couple of times, then his eyes lit up as an idea struck him. "It's not impossible, but the person you find for her has to be a bit picky. As for looks... apart from when I was young, Yu An has never seen anyone more handsome than Jiang Sui. Just pick someone! Height, no more than 1.8 meters. Annual salary... uh, how much is Jiang Sui's annual salary now? Never mind, just set it below 300,000! The main idea is to give Yan Yan a comparison, so she'll realize how rare Jiang Sui is!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, there are plenty of people who are worse than Mr. Jiang!"
Zeng Rong hung up the phone and happily opened his "resource library," thinking to himself, "I've never done such an easy task before. However, since the task is basic, the people I find can't be basic either."
In the end, she carefully selected three "high-quality men": a bank employee who wore a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, whose phone screen saver was a Shanghai Stock Exchange K-line chart, and who constantly talked about MACD golden crosses and moving average support; a mama's boy who tucked his polo shirt into his trousers, always clutching a cashmere scarf knitted by his mother, and whose every other sentence contained "my mom said"; and the third was the ultimate choice, a folk scientist who firmly believed in the "flat earth" theory, wearing a faded fisherman's hat, carrying a self-made "Ten Pieces of Evidence for the Flat Earth Theory" in his bag, and popularizing the science that "the earth is flat and satellite photos are all photoshopped" to everyone he met.
Looking at the information on these three people, she nodded in satisfaction.
The main purpose is to broaden Luo Yan's horizons. Once she meets these extraordinary people, she will realize how rare and normal Jiang Sui is.
After the Qingming Festival holiday, the weather gradually warmed up, and Luo Yan's "High-Quality Civil Servant Blind Date Assembly Line" officially kicked off.
The first blind date was at a lakeside cafe. Luo Yan's initial intention was to relax and enjoy the lake breeze, but after sitting down for less than ten minutes, she just wanted to grab her bag and run away.
The bank employee sat down and began to launch into a long-winded explanation: "Ms. Luo, look at the Shanghai Stock Exchange 300 Index. It opened sharply higher yesterday, and the MACD formed a golden cross. The new energy stock I heavily invested in last week has risen by 15% in just three days. And then there's the ChiNext..."
The dry financial jargon was like a cacophony in Luo Yan's ears, making her dizzy and disoriented. She glanced at her phone; only eight minutes had passed, but it felt like eight hours. She made an excuse: "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
After washing her hands, she was still figuring out how to "escape" gracefully when she turned around and took two steps. She looked up and caught sight of a familiar figure.
Jiang Sui?!
Wasn't he in Zong County? When did he return to Yu'an?
Jiang Sui and two men in suits walked in and went straight to the next table to sit down. At this moment, as if he noticed something, he turned his head and glanced at her casually. Luo Yan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, pretending to fix her hair. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could evaporate on the spot. She forced herself to remain calm and quickly walked back to her seat.
For the rest of the time, Luo Yan felt a faint, imperceptible gaze upon her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Luo Yan finally managed to wait until the bank employee stopped to drink water. Just as she was about to make an excuse to slip away, Jiang Sui walked over, acting as if he had just happened to be passing by. His tone was as casual as if he were greeting someone in a conference room: "Officer Luo? What a coincidence."
His gaze swept casually over the banker. "And this gentleman is?"
Luo Yan gave a standard fake smile, "Friend... Mr. Jiang, you're busy, I won't bother you."
Jiang Sui smiled politely at the bank employee, then turned and left.
Watching his calm departure, Luo Yan slumped into her chair like a deflated balloon.
Why do I feel like I've been caught in the act?
Next time, we shouldn't meet at such high-class places; it's safer to go somewhere down-to-earth.
Two days later, on her second blind date, Luo Yan learned from her mistake and chose a bookstore in the city center as the location.
The "mama's boy" started talking as soon as he sat down: "My mom's braised pork is so delicious! She said I should find a wife who can cook, otherwise no one will take care of me. My mom also said women shouldn't be too domineering, they should be gentle..."
Luo Yan let it go in one ear and out the other, her eyes wandering aimlessly, trying to find something else to distract herself.
It's better not to look at it, because once you do, you'll be completely captivated.
Jiang Sui was standing by a bookshelf not far away, holding a copy of "Quantum Mechanics" in his hand, but his eyes were drifting in her direction.
Luo Yan felt itchy all over and quickly lowered her head to pretend to read a book. In her panic, she didn't even realize that she was holding the book upside down.
The mama's boy followed her gaze and asked疑惑地问道, "Do you know her?"
Luo Yan quickly straightened the book: "I don't know him... He's handsome, so I'll take a second look."
The mama's boy immediately objected, "My mom says that good looks can't put food on the table, a man still has to take care of his family! My mom says I'm the most family-oriented."
"Yes, Auntie is right."
Luo Yan nodded repeatedly, but in her heart she thought: "Mama's boy Plus, you should just go with your mom."
Two days later, on her third blind date, after careful consideration, Luo Yan chose an art museum in the suburbs. The environment was quiet and there were few people, so she probably wouldn't run into Jiang Sui again.
As soon as the amateur scientist entered the art museum, he pointed to an abstract painting and explained, "Ms. Luo, look at this painting. The circle on top is a cross-section of the Earth, and the line is the horizon. This proves that the Earth is flat!"
Luo Yan looked at the painting; the red blob and blue lines made it look like a kindergarten child's doodle.
I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.
She smiled awkwardly but politely, humming and hawing as if she were paying attention, forcibly supporting this outrageous stand-up comedy.
As she turned the corner, Luo Yan suddenly stopped, her eyes widening in disbelief.
That's right, it's Jiang Sui! He's here again!
He led two clients, and the three of them walked around admiring the abstract paintings on the wall, occasionally offering their comments. It all looked quite impressive.
Luo Yan was completely numb.
Is Jiang Sui an NPC on the Yu'an map? He's everywhere!
At this moment, Jiang Sui had already walked up to them and "accidentally" knocked the folder of "Ten Pieces of Evidence for the Flat Earth Theory" out of the hands of the amateur scientist.
"I'm so sorry..."
He bent down to pick up the folder, dusted off imaginary dust as if in a serious manner, and handed it back to the amateur scientist. He glanced at Luo Yan beside him as if casually, and feigned surprise: "Director Luo, what a coincidence! You're also interested in abstract art from the European Renaissance?"
Luo Yan snorted, too lazy to pay attention to this movie star, and turned to walk towards the exit.
The amateur scientist hurriedly packed up his folder and caught up with her. "Ms. Luo, I feel we don't have anything in common. What I need is a soulmate..."
"Yes, you're right."
Luo Yan gave her a perfunctory reply, dismissing the amateur scientist with just a few words.
At this moment, Jiang's entourage strolled leisurely over from the other end of the corridor.
Luo Yan stepped forward to stop him, "President Jiang, when did Yu An become so young? I keep running into you, such a busy person, everywhere I go!"
Jiang Sui, hands in his pockets, said in a smugly lazy tone, "Just passing by."
"You just happened to pass by my blind date location three times?"
Luo Yan laughed, "When did you come back to Yu'an? Are you no longer hiding in Zong County and isolating yourself?"
"I didn't need to keep an eye on things over there anymore, so I came back. It's been over a week."
Jiang Sui looked at her with a deep gaze, his tone slightly teasing: "Comrade Luo Yan, if you want to annoy me, you don't need to go through all this trouble. Just come to me directly, and I guarantee I won't fight back or talk back. Or you can wait patiently until I die, then you can find someone else."
Luo Yan was already furious, and hearing his words only fueled her anger. "What exactly do you want? You're giving me the runaround and refusing to say anything, yet you're still haunting me, preventing me from starting a new life. Are you crazy?"
"Yes, I am sick."
Jiang Sui suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "I can't stand you eating with other men, I can't stand you smiling at other men!"
His bluntness stunned Luo Yan, and her heart suddenly started beating erratically.
"Then why can't you tell me? Am I really that untrustworthy?"
Luo Yan's voice softened, sounding both aggrieved and angry, "What I want is not your inexplicable possessiveness, but honesty."
Jiang Sui's Adam's apple bobbed, her lips pressed into a straight line, her eyes filled with struggle, but she ultimately turned her face away: "It's not a matter of trust... If you knew, I would lose you completely..."
"very good……"
Luo Yan's pent-up anger exploded instantly. "You're going to lose me right now! You're the Crown Prince of Ming Sheng, with a noble status and deep-seated grudges. I can't possibly be worthy of you. I'm looking for my ordinary happiness. Please, have mercy on me and leave me alone!" After shouting, she forcefully pushed Jiang Sui's hand away and ran towards the exit, but tears still streamed down her face.
Jiang Sui instinctively wanted to chase after her, but couldn't move her feet. She could only clench her fists and watch Luo Yan's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, her face pale.
