Today is such an unlucky day.

First, the car broke down inexplicably. It was a new car that I had just bought and had been regularly maintained. How could it break down out of nowhere? When I met Chen Xu, I thought it was better to ride in a car with someone I knew than a stranger. But I ended up screwing myself.

I don't know what happened just now, I was polite out of habit, and he actually agreed.

Don’t you know it’s just a courtesy?

He can't even understand this hint. No wonder he hasn't been promoted.

Luo Xiyun thought with a hint of resentment in her heart as she walked into the restaurant. After she sat down, Chen Xu sat opposite her.

Only at this time did she have the chance to notice his expression and behavior. Just now in the car, they were sitting facing the same direction, and she did not deliberately turn around to look at him.

Chen Xu looked calm and natural, neither uneasy or timid, nor excited or overjoyed.

He sat up straight, but it didn't seem like he was pretending, and his whole body exuded a calm temperament.

She was somewhat surprised and searched her memory. She didn't remember much about this employee named Chen Xu. After all, they were not in the same department.

If I have to summarize, judging from his resume, he is the kind of person who has no highlights and has not made any mistakes. He is just an ordinary and unremarkable person.

She has been in the company for more than a year, and she may not have even looked at him once. She just has the impression that he is such a person.

She felt inexplicably better, at least he didn't look annoying.

For the first time, she looked at Chen Xu carefully. He was wearing a white T-shirt and had short hair. He looked very energetic, with bright and lively eyes.

She was a little surprised. Chen Xu's appearance was not bad, and his temperament was unique. Why hadn't she noticed him before? After she joined the company, she had been doing human resources work. She had met all kinds of people, handsome, ugly, and with different temperaments. After a long time, she could basically judge whether the other person was suitable to stay based on the first impression.

Of course, this method will definitely make mistakes sometimes. Sometimes, environment creates talents. After entering the company, whether you can become successful or not depends not only on yourself, but also on the environment and circumstances.

It's just because it's more efficient to do this. Compare resumes, see the other party's mental state, and then ask some questions. This is probably the process. It's impossible to get detailed information about each job seeker. That would be too much work.

So far, she has seen so many job applicants, but has never seen anyone with such an outstanding temperament as Chen Xu.

Of course she knew that the employees in the company were quite afraid of her. Whenever she met them, they all looked uneasy. Those with higher positions had fake smiles on their faces that were obviously hypocritical, or they had a stern face as if they were wearing a mask.

This was the first time she had met someone like Chen Xu.

Even if he was pretending, it proved that he had a strong mental quality. When people are nervous, their bodies will subconsciously tense up, and it is not so easy to pretend to be relaxed.

These thoughts were turning in her mind. Chen Xu had already ordered the dishes and handed her the menu.

She took the menu, flipped through two pages, ordered a dish at random, and returned the menu to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Chen Xu still didn't speak. She felt the atmosphere was a little dull, so she took the initiative to say, "It's almost the end of the year, so you must be very busy at work."

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "Yes, I'm quite busy."

"Is that car from the company?"

"Yes, this seems to violate the company's regulations. I didn't expect you to run into it."

"Forget it. This matter is none of my business anyway. I'll just pretend I didn't see it." Luo Xiyun is not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them.

"Thanks."

As we were talking, the food arrived.

After that, the two of them didn't talk anymore, and ate their food in silence. They ordered similar set meals, one for each person, and they ate their own food without affecting each other.

After eating, Chen Xu said goodbye and left.

Luo Xiyun watched him leave. She didn't feel uncomfortable eating this meal. She felt more comfortable than when she was eating with Liu Yumeng. Chen Xu must be like her. He had strict family education since childhood and strictly followed the etiquette at the dinner table. It made her feel like she was eating with her grandmother's family.

She sat in the restaurant for a while, and then the car sent by her grandmother to pick her up arrived.

…………

When Chen Xu left the restaurant, he wondered what kind of impression his performance would leave on Luo Xiyun.

Of course, he was the one who did all this today. He spent more than a week preparing. He implanted a virus into her phone through the company's WIFI, and when she connected her phone to the car's system via Bluetooth, the virus was transferred to the car's system.

Of course, it is not easy to do all this. It took him a lot of effort just to crack the car's system.

His plan was not complicated, he knew that she would go back to visit her grandmother every week, and when her car was on the highway, in a place where there was no support on either side, the virus caused the car to break down. He showed up in time, and everything that followed was a natural progression.

It's not that he couldn't think of a better plan. If she was in danger, he would appear in time and leave a deeper impression on her. However, he was unwilling to take the risk. What if something unexpected happened?

“It should be pretty good.”

He thought to himself, otherwise, she would never have asked him to have a meal, although she soon regretted it. That expression was too obvious.

Thinking back to her expression after the meal, she didn't look disgusted. This was a good start.

After he got in the car, he didn't turn around to look in the direction of the restaurant. He couldn't show any interest in her until he impressed her.

“This is a long-term battle.”

He started the car with a smile on his face and a long-lost excitement in his heart.

Time goes back to before the dream happened. Relying on his own efforts to pursue Xiyun and the other three, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge, but it also arouses his fighting spirit.

In reality, he has already got everything he wanted, love, career, no one can stop him, and it seems that there are no more challenges. He doesn't feel dissatisfied with such a life, but it is indeed a bit boring.

Now, he had a chance to start over again, even if it was just a dream. He wanted to treat it as real and devote himself to it.
