Chapter 169 Proposal

The Chinese Valentine's Day is coming, and Xiao Zhang is planning something big.

After work, except for Chen Xue and Lin Sen who was on a business trip, everyone else gathered in the conference room, and even people from other departments came, and the conference room became crowded in an instant.

Xiao Zhang handed milk tea to everyone one by one, and then said shyly: "I plan to propose to Chen Xue tomorrow, and I want everyone to help me with some advice. How can the proposal be more romantic?"

Mu Mian took a sip of milk tea and asked puzzledly: "Why not propose tonight? It's best to propose before going to bed. Most people's minds are not so clear at night, and they are more likely to agree to other people's requests."

"...Because tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day, it has special significance."

Mu Mian was surprised: "So you have to choose a day to propose?"

"Of course. Choosing a good day is very important."

Mu Mian summed up the first reason why he failed to propose to Fang Rui: he chose the wrong day.

Mu Mian suggested, "Why don't you propose tonight? Give Chen Xue a surprise. No, a huge surprise. Many people propose on Chinese Valentine's Day. This day is not special at all."

Xiao Zhang actually thought that what Mu Mian said made sense, but -

"It's too late tonight. I'm not ready." Xiao Zhang looked at everyone, "Everyone, help me think of some ideas quickly."

Mu Mian summarized the second reason why her proposal failed: she was not fully prepared. She needed to create a romantic atmosphere first.

Xiao Wang suggested: "How about you take Chen Xue to the rooftop to watch the stars tomorrow night, and then take out a ring made of dogtail grass to propose to her?"

"Watching the stars is quite romantic, but there are not only many stars on the rooftop, but also more mosquitoes."

"A ring made of dogtail grass? That's too embarrassing."

"This is called creativity. Diamond rings are too tacky. The male protagonists in idol dramas all use dogtail grass to propose. It's romantic, environmentally friendly, and close to nature." Xiao Wang defended.

"That won't work," Xiao Zhang rejected Xiao Wang's suggestion. He asked the others, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Xiao Wen from the Finance Office suggested, "How about you take Chen Xue for a walk, then walk to the osmanthus tree, take out a ring made from a can pull ring, and propose to her. A few of us will shake osmanthus flowers next to you, giving you a whole osmanthus rain. I guarantee you will remember it for a lifetime."

"This is good, romantic."

Mu Mian couldn't help but remind them, "It is illegal to destroy green plants."

Xiao Zhang rejected the proposal because they couldn't break the law knowingly.

Xiao Zhang looked at Fang Rui. The eldest brother was the most reliable. He might have some good ideas.

Mu Mian, who was sitting next to Fang Rui, thought Xiao Zhang was looking at her, so she gave her own suggestion.

"We can design a series of puzzles, each puzzle contains clues, but these puzzles must be designed to be simple, otherwise Chen Xue can't solve them. These clues guide Chen Xue step by step to the proposal location..."

Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said to Mu Mian: "This is good. Then what?" "

The proposal location is the autopsy room. Chen Xue walks there and sees you lying on the autopsy table buried in roses. She will definitely be very sad, crying while digging you out of the flowers.

At this time, you suddenly sit up, take out a ring made of bones, and ask her if she is willing to marry you. Then we hold up the scalpel and shout, Chen Xue, promise him, promise him..."

"..."

"..."

Xiao Zhang held his forehead, why should he expect Mu Mian's answer

? Xiao Wen said, "Hahaha, Mu Mian, you're going to make me laugh to death. In this case, Chen Xue wouldn't dare to refuse."

Xiao Wang asked curiously, "How do you make a ring with bones?"

"You can piece the finger bones into a ring, and then grind, polish, and wax it."

Xiao Zhang emphasized, "You don't need to be creative about the ring. I have already bought a diamond ring."

He took out an exquisite ring box from his pocket, and he opened it to show everyone.

"Ah, what is that? It's blinding me." Xiao Wang covered his eyes and made an exaggerated expression, "Take it away, take it away quickly."

Xiao Wen praised, "Wow, this diamond is so big. Zhang Qiang, you spent a lot of money this time."

"Of course, I bought this with my salary that I saved for several years. I want to give Chen Xue the best engagement ring."

Xiao Wang reminded, "Xiao Zhang, you have spent all your salary now, what are you going to use to buy a wedding ring?"

"Uh... my parents have already saved money for me to get married."

"..."

Mu Mian suggested in a low voice: "Officer Xiao Zhang, you should buy a gold bracelet. Chen Xue said that diamonds don't hold their value and only spendthrifts would buy them, but gold will appreciate in value and can be a family heirloom."

Xiao Zhang frowned: "Is that so? Will Chen Xue think I'm too spendthrift?"

Xiao Wen retorted: "No, no girl doesn't like diamonds."

"Sister Xiao Wen, your logic is not strict and too absolute. I don't like diamonds."

"You like gold"

Mu Mian shook her head. She likes bones, specimens of various animals, and corpses, but most people can't accept this hobby, so Mu Mian doesn't plan to tell her.

Everyone proposed many plans, but none of them were feasible.

Xiao Zhang decided to use a romantic but uncreative way of proposing: holding a big diamond ring and proposing first.

Chinese Valentine's Day happened to be on Saturday, so they had a normal day off this week and did not need to go to work.

Fang Rui and Mu Mian were in a team, and they were responsible for helping Xiao Zhang buy the roses needed to decorate the proposal scene.

They did not go to a flower shop, but to a wholesale flower market. There were no middlemen to make a profit, and the price of flowers was half the price of those in the flower shop, and they were still fresh. It was just that the boss's attitude was not very good, and it took a long time to pay attention to them.

"You want ninety-nine roses?" The boss glanced at Mu Mian next to Fang Rui, "For your girlfriend? Let me make it clear first, we are not responsible for packaging here."

Mu Mian said, "No need for packaging." Later they would use those roses to arrange a heart on the ground, so there was no need for packaging.

"Then wait a moment."

The boss complained to his employees in a low voice, "That man doesn't look poor, but he doesn't go to the flower shop to buy flowers. He comes to us to buy them in bulk. How smart."

"That's right, how could his girlfriend stand it? It's too stingy!"

Mu Mian asked the boss in confusion: "Aren't the flowers in the flower shop bought from you? Is there any difference?"

The boss's face froze. She didn't expect that her voice was so small that they could hear it.

"What we like is flowers, not those complicated packages."

Mu Mian pulled Fang Rui, "Let's go to another store to buy them."

"Okay."

They were going to buy flowers from other stores, but a flower farmer stopped them, "Do you want to buy roses? My flower field is nearby. If you go to my flower field to buy them, it will be cheaper than here."

"Then please take us there."

The flower field is very large, but because of the Chinese Valentine's Day, the demand for fresh flowers has skyrocketed, and the flower field has been bare, and most of the remaining flowers are buds. In a corner of the flower field, there was still a small patch of unpicked red roses. Those flowers were blooming beautifully.

"Fang Rui, do you think there will be the Little Prince's roses here?"

"Yes. If the Little Prince is here too."

When the breeze blew, the red roses swayed in the wind.

"Fang Rui, you are so stupid, the Little Prince is a character in the novel, and his roses are on another planet."

"..."

Fang Rui and the others added a little more money, and the flower farmer allowed them to choose the flowers themselves. Mu Mian and Fang Rui spent most of the day and finally found ninety-nine roses of similar shapes and sizes.

"Mu Mian, let's go back."

Mu Mian's eyes were attracted by a large cluster of yellow chrysanthemums. Mu Mian said, "Can I have a bouquet of flowers like that?"
