Chapter 2
Could it be that the man she's been pursuing doesn't like women?That's why he has been reluctant to accept her.

They pushed each other away, somewhat embarrassed, and looked at Shangguan Aoshuang at the same time.

Li Xiang cleared his throat and said, "What's the matter?"

"No... nothing important. Go on, I'll come back later." Shangguan Aoshuang felt that the most correct way at this moment was to escape.

"Shangguan Aoshuang, wait a minute! Don't..." Chen Jian wanted to explain, but he had quickly disappeared into the office, so he could only mutter helplessly, "Don't get me wrong! We are really not the kind you think relation."

Li Xiang looked at Chen Jiandao with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "Explain what? You are her boss in the company, so you don't need to explain."

He was obviously looking forward to such a misunderstanding, thinking that Shangguan Ao Shuang would be able to retreat despite this difficulty, and it would be good not to be entangled anymore.

Chen Jian instantly understood his intention.

As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, you don't get itchy, but he doesn't care much about being misunderstood.

"I'm worried about you. Well, the parties don't care, what else can I say?" Chen Jian suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smirk, "By the way, if you go on a blind date today, do you want to be my brother?" wingman?"

Li Xiang gave Chen Jian a supercilious look and said, "Get out! I don't know your current virtues yet. Let you go with me. The protagonist in this matter will definitely change hands."

Chen Jian was slightly angry: "You..."

However, Shangguan Aoshuang's voice interrupted Chen Jiandao: "That... sorry to bother you! Mr. Li, there is an urgent matter that must be decided by you."

The word "you" sounds particularly weird.

Li Xiang gave Chen Jian a wink, told him to stop making trouble for now, then looked at Shangguan Aoxue: "Say!"

She saw Chen Jian shrank back to the corner of the sofa not far away like a neglected cat because of Li Xiang's wink, and wondered if this was a special way of communication between them?
She tried desperately to imply that she had to get used to it for the sake of her family.

"Aoxue, why don't you say anything?" Li Xiang urged Shangguan Aoxue in a daze.

Shangguan Aoxue quickly came back to his senses and said, "Oh, our main product, the fully automatic wall-laying machine, is out of order. I can't solve it with senior engineers. I'm afraid our strategic cooperation with Chengde Real Estate..."

The strategic cooperation between the Group and Chengde Real Estate cannot be missed!This is related to the net profit of the group for at least ten years in the future.

Before he became a stand-in, he was a top engineer in the industry.Due to technical difficulties, he is personally leading the development and development of the machine.

It can be said that if the company's senior engineer can't handle it, then only he can solve it in the whole company.

Li Xiang raised his hand and glanced at the time, there were still two hours before the date.

Fortunately, the location of the accidental machine is very close to the place of the blind date, at most 15 minutes on foot.He can now only hope that the trouble with the machine is just a minor problem.

Li Xiang called Chen Jian to rush to the scene immediately.

Zhang Ling couldn't stand her father's nagging, so after packing up her makeup, she fled the house more than an hour earlier.

She drank a cup of coffee alone at a coffee shop near the east of the south gate of X Park.

Calculate the time and walk to the south gate of the park.She doesn't want the other party to feel that she attaches great importance to this blind date.Just make sure you arrive on time.

She also thought about it.

If the other party is even 1 minute late, she has a reason to leave the blind date place quickly.

She also hated men who were not punctual.At that time, there will be good reasons to explain to my father why the blind date failed.

"Zhang Ling?" A woman approached, with a somewhat uncertain tone, and glanced at another woman beside her.

"Honey, don't doubt it. It's Zhang Ling, the Zhang Ling who was recognized as the beauty of Wuchuan No. [-] Middle School." Another woman said with a bit of jealousy.

Zhang Ling is wearing a dark blue custom-made suit, with a denim denim blue Chanel handbag on her shoulder, especially the pair of lake blue earrings that highlight her elegance and pride.

Apparently, life wasn't bad at all.

"What a coincidence! I can meet you here." Wang Li seemed a little excited.

Li Xi could tell that Zhang Ling's life was not bad at all.

In high school, Zhang Ling naturally had a sense of superiority over her, and she still does so now, feeling resentful in her heart.But as an adult, he still spoke politely and flattered:
"Zhang Ling, I didn't expect to see you for many years. You are still as young and beautiful as before. It's not like Wang Li who became a yellow-faced woman after getting married."

Wang Li was inexplicably shot while lying down.He just smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Ling was most annoyed to meet such acquaintances on the street.Three sentences must not escape the topic of comparison.

She glanced at Li Xi negligently and said nothing, looked at Wang Li and smiled slightly, "Wang Li! I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Li Xi. Are you shopping together again today?"

When Li Xi was in high school, she often spread rumors about her in front of other classmates.So she has no good sense for this person.

"Well, I'm going out to buy a pair of shoes for my son." Wang Li lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, then she suddenly raised her head to look at Li Xi and said with a smile, "Zhang Ling, you don't know, Li Xi is going to get married. She is married The successor of Hong Kong Fuyuan Jewelry."

Speaking of which, Wang Li's eyes returned to Zhang Ling, and she also wanted to see the same envious eyes as hers. Although she didn't see it, she still said as if she was going to get married:

"Li Xi intends to invite all her classmates to her wedding. It's a class reunion. Zhang Ling, you have shied away from coming a few times before. You must be there this time!"

Wang Li's "silly, white and sweet" still makes her feel distressed.I think I was cheated by Li Xi many times back then, but now I still regard Li Xi as my best girlfriend.

Li Xi didn't open his mouth to extend the invitation first, presumably the task of inviting his classmates to the wedding fell on Wang Li's head, that's why he worked so hard.

I'm afraid she is the only one who doesn't know that she has offended many people invisibly.

Zhang Ling raised her hand subconsciously, and glanced at the silver Armani watch. It was 2 minutes before the appointed time for a blind date.

There was a bit of anxiety in her expression, she looked towards the east gate of the park, forced a smile and said, "This..."

Zhang Ling tried to quickly find a reason to get out, but she must not bring up the fact that she was going on a blind date.

If it was spread to the ears of all high school students by Li Xi, then the image she had been building up would be completely over.

Li Xi seemed to know what Zhang Ling was going to say, she was unwilling to let Zhang Ling succeed, so she put a hand on Wang Li's shoulder and interrupted:

"Wang Li, don't worry! We are all classmates, and we invited you in person. Zhang Ling will definitely go, right?"

Reminded by Li Xi, Wang Li slapped herself on the forehead, rummaged through her bag while anxiously searching:
"Oh, look at my brain, I found it. This is Li Xi's wedding invitation. Zhang Ling, I've been to that place before. How about I pick you up by the way?"

Li Xi squeezed Wang Li's arm lightly, and then showed a smirk as if he wanted to watch a big show: "Wang Li, you are so stupid! Why are you robbing your brother-in-law? You want to go and don't disturb the couple. world."

Zhang Ling clearly remembered that it was the same birthday as Li Xi.When Li Xi was in high school, she always liked to emphasize that she was Zhang Ling's older sister.Today it is abnormal to speak like this.

Wang Lihan laughed and continued, "I'm really stupid! Zhang Ling, what does brother-in-law do? Do we know each other? He..."

"Wang Li, isn't it required to bring a spouse to a class reunion? Wait until that day, and you'll know when you meet your brother-in-law. Now you're standing on the street and asking so many questions, it's inappropriate." Li Xi smiled a little bit. Hi, say something to stop Wang Lidao.

It's not that Li Xi is kind, but it's far more exciting for Zhang Ling to admit it in front of all the classmates than to admit it here.

"I was the one to be abrupt." Wang Li lowered her head and said with a bit of grievance.

Zhang Ling raised her hand and glanced at the silver watch. Five minutes had passed since the agreed time for a blind date. She then looked at Wang Li holding a red invitation card in both hands, knowing that she would not be able to get away if she did not agree to the invitation to the wedding banquet (student reunion).

She could only reach out to accept the invitation, and said anxiously with a forced smile: "Li Xi is right! Go, I will definitely go. It's just that there are important things to deal with today. Another day, another day How about I treat the two of you to afternoon tea?"

"Oh, it's all Wang Li's fault. You have something to do, and you are dragged here to chat endlessly. I apologize to you on her behalf. I'm sorry." Li Xi said.

Wang Li was shot again while lying down, and just smiled bitterly with a bit of shame.

What else can she say?He could only smile and say anxiously, "It's all right."

"Then go get busy, I hope you didn't delay your business." Li Xi said.

Li Xi said that for this sake, even if Zhang Ling had complaints, it was difficult to speak out.

Zhang Ling hurriedly said "goodbye" and turned to the side of the road.

At this time, Wang Li, who felt a little guilty and embarrassed, accidentally saw Li Xi showing an intriguing treacherous smile towards Zhang Ling's back.

"Li Xi, what are you laughing at?"

Perhaps because Li Xi was too proud, he didn't hear Wang Lida's question, so he subconsciously said, "The show is about to start. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Ah?" Wang Li stepped in without knowing it, stretched out two fingers to pinch Li Xi's sleeve, shook his arm, and asked with a puzzled face, "Li Xi, didn't you say that watching theater is a program for the elderly! Invite an opera troupe to sing at the wedding?"

Li Xi, who realized the problem, kept his face stiff for a few seconds, and forced himself to laugh awkwardly: "Isn't that because my dear parents and elders like it! Oh, you don't have to worry about it. I'm the troupe It's all set up."

"Oh!" Wang Li vaguely felt that Li Xi was a little strange, but with her character and IQ, she couldn't think of the specific reason.

On the side of the road, a taxi happened to come over. In order to catch up with time, Zhang Ling stopped her and boarded the taxi. Maybe the driver didn't express clearly, so the driver drove directly to the east gate of the park.

In the taxi, she was upset when she thought of Li Xi's big red invitation.When the time comes, she can't say it, she didn't do it, it's just that where will she find a reliable man for a while?
hateful!

Li Xi's various behaviors today are not like his previous personality.She vaguely felt that the encounter today was not a coincidence.

Time moves forward by a quarter of an hour!

Chengde Real Estate has undertaken the construction of a high-end apartment building near X Park, where the malfunctioning machine that Li wants to repair is located.

Chen Jian pressed the shutdown button of the debugging machine, smiled at Li Xiang and said, "The fault is perfectly eliminated!"

Li Xiang raised his hand and glanced at the Tissot Porto series belt quartz watch, which was less than 3 minutes away from the agreed blind date.

Chen Jian knew Li Xiang's thoughts with just a glance and persuaded him: "I said Li Xiang should not go if he wants to. You may be too late even if you use Lewis's speed now. You must know that there is no woman who will meet for the first time... ..."

Before Chen Jian finished speaking, he realized that Li Xiang beside him had already gone away.

Just looking at his back, Li Xiang was wearing a white hard hat and a gray canvas suit with black motor oil stained everywhere, just like an ordinary migrant worker on a construction site.

"Hey, Li wants you to wait a minute and change into another dress..."

Li Xiang didn't hear Chen Jian's call at all, and Chen Jian didn't continue talking, watching his back disappear at the exit of the safe passage.

Chen Jianchang sighed and shook his head, "I could have made the other party completely ignore the problem of being late with the beauty of the clothes. Now I am afraid that the other party is completely unwilling to say a word to you, brother."

Li Xiang rushed to the east gate of the park one step ahead of Zhang Ling.

He had seen a photo of his blind date Cheng Xue, and the aura he exuded matched exactly that of Zhang Ling who had just got off the car.Moreover, it looked like Zhang Ling was indeed looking for someone from a distance.

Li Xiang prepared to tidy up his clothes habitually, but found that he didn't change his work clothes in a hurry.He just froze for a moment, then smiled, as if he was very satisfied with his current outfit.

He felt that the days of a double would end sooner or later, and the current image was his true face as a top engineer.

Zhang Ling instinctively felt that someone was watching her, and when she turned around, she saw that Li Xiang was coming towards her with a silly smile on his face.She couldn't help laughing contemptuously, slandering her heart:

"Interesting! Today's blind date is not only a secret sign like an underground party, but also role-playing! Is it necessary to play it so seriously?"

 The flea hero comes from "The Flea" (English: The Flea) is a metaphysical poem by John Donne (1572-1631).

  This article first involves mentioning biting fleas in Chapter 029.

  Translator and guide: Lu Yuming (East China Normal University)

  "The Flea" (partial translation)
  Look at this flea, look at this,
  How superficial is your refusal to me;
  It stings me first, and now it stings you,

  In the belly of the flea our two bloods mingled;
  Admit it, can't say yes

  A sin, loss of virginity, or shame,
  But this feast before the proposal,

  Filled our stomachs with blood from both of us,

  God, it's beyond our control.

  Three lives in one weak flea,
  We're almost, no, better than married couples.

  This flea is you and me, it should

  Is our marriage bed, and wedding hall;

  Parents and you are not willing, we still meet,

  And live in seclusion within this living black wall.

  Though habit makes you kill me,
  Please don't call self-murder, sacrilege

  The triple crime of killing three lives is imposed here.

  You are so cruel and sudden,

  Stain your fingernails red with innocent blood?

  what is the sin of this flea
  Besides sucking a mouthful of blood from you?

  But you say so proudly

  You don't see that you and I are weaker than ever;
  Indeed, then you should know how unreal fear is;
  A little bit of chastity disappears when committed to me,

  As this flea's death takes from you a sliver of life.
