Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 169 Blind Date Troubles
People often say that “the more famous you are, the more trouble you will have.” The “famous” here does not only refer to the entertainment industry.

In daily life, if you are too famous, you will often encounter some strange troubles.

Of course, Li Xu was completely unaware of this at the moment.

Recalling the last time he returned to Jinchuan City, he did not go home immediately, but ran to play with his friends. As a result, his father cooked a table full of dishes but no one enjoyed them.

With this lesson, he learned his lesson this time. As soon as he returned to Jinchuan City, the first thing he did was to rush home.

But when I got home, I found that my father was not at home.

It was around 9pm when Li Yuqian finally returned home. Seeing Li Xu was already back, he didn't show any particular enthusiasm. He just took off his coat and said indifferently, "You're back."

Li Xu nodded and responded: "I'm back."

Li Xu sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that he was indeed being too sentimental. Looking at his father's expression, he didn't think much about him.

He pointed to a pot of black tea on the coffee table and said, "You said last time that you only drink black tea in the evening, so I made a pot."

Li Yuqian nodded, sat down next to Li Xu, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "There are too many tea leaves."

Li Xu said unhappily, "It's just a cup of tea, why is there so much to be said for it?" Now, he dared to complain in front of his father in such a disrespectful manner.

After saying that, he also picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "I think it's okay." Then he drank the whole cup of tea in one gulp.

Li Yuqian didn't say anything, and said slowly: "Since you are back, let's go meet someone tomorrow."

Li Xu thought the tea tasted good, so he poured himself another cup. He picked up the cup, drank it, and asked, "Who are you meeting?"

Li Yuqian leaned slightly on the sofa and said without warning: "Let's go on a blind date."

"Puff!" Li Xu couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth. He coughed violently and looked at Li Yuqian in shock and said, "What is that?"

Seeing Li Xu's strong reaction, Li Yuqian felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose, crossed his legs, and leaned slightly to the side and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a meeting."

Li Xu said angrily: "Dad, do you want to listen to what you are saying? I am not even 21 yet!"

Li Yuqian said: "He is only 25 years old, so he is okay."

Li Xu stood up and said, "Are you kidding me? You found me someone who's four years older than me. What were you thinking?"

Li Yuqian coughed lightly, knowing that he was in the wrong, but he soon realized that this boy actually dared to question him so arrogantly and condescendingly in front of him. He snorted, patted the coffee table and said, "Sit down."

Only then did Li Xu sit down in disappointment.

Li Yuqian was actually a little reluctant about this matter, but he agreed out of helplessness.

The story begins last week.

At that time, I had just won a big project from a state-owned enterprise. After the successful cooperation, I naturally got together with the other party's leader in the evening and had dinner together.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone's spirits were high and the atmosphere became harmonious. The topics of conversation were no longer limited to business, but expanded to topics such as hobbies and family.

At their age, the most common topic is undoubtedly their children.

Li Yuqian's interest in this topic was even higher. He didn't get too carried away, but just spoke modestly and cautiously about his son, saying, "He's still studying."

Someone at the dinner table immediately asked, "What university?"

He said calmly and nonchalantly, "Oh, Peking University and Tsinghua University."

For a moment, the dinner table was silent for half a second.

The other party's leader immediately showed great interest and asked how Li Yuqian educated his children.

After all, this was something Li Yuqian thought he was very good at. He smiled casually, then picked out some key points of his theory and talked about them implicitly, but he didn't go into too much detail, after all, that would seem too ostentatious.

However, everyone present listened with great interest.

The senior leader was very happy to hear this. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he suddenly said, "Mr. Li is so lucky. He has such an outstanding son. His life can be said to be complete."

Li Yuqian's cheeks flushed slightly as he said modestly, "No, no."

Although he was a little drunk, he keenly noticed that the other leader sighed softly.

Out of curiosity, he asked another question.

The big boss said with emotion: "Brother Yu Qian, I really envy you. To be honest, I also have a child, and it doesn't make me worry too much."

At this time, Li Yuqian immediately showed an expression of listening.

As expected, the big boss said slowly, "My daughter..." Halfway through, his eyes suddenly moved and he asked, "Brother Yu Qian, does your son have a girlfriend?"

Li Yuqian, such a smart man, suddenly had an idea and blinked his eyes. He just thought about it and said, "This... young people don't know much about it, but I haven't heard him say it."

The big boss smiled and said, "Brother Yu Qian, to be honest, my daughter is already 25 years old. To be honest, she has a good education, graduated from Donghai University, and is also very good-looking. But, she is already 25 years old and has never had a boyfriend. Girls are different from sons. In a few years, it will be difficult for her to find a partner."

Li Yuqian smiled and said, "How could that be? Logically speaking, your daughter must have many young men lining up to pursue her."

The senior leader sighed and said, "My daughter has her own twisted ideas and is quite picky. She insists that someone must have a higher education, a higher income, a higher emotional intelligence, a higher IQ, and good looks than hers. If you take each of these qualities individually, you can find a good match, but when you combine them all, it becomes very difficult. Honestly, it's not that she doesn't want to be in a relationship, but she's just trapped in a circle she's drawn and can't get out."

Then the big boss looked at Li Yuqian expectantly and asked tentatively, "Is your son home?"

Li Yuqian took a sip of tea and said, "My son will be back tomorrow. How about this, as elders, we can't interfere directly in the affairs between the younger generations, but we can let them meet. It's still okay. If that doesn't work, we can just make friends."

The leader's face immediately broke into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Right, right, that's exactly what I meant."

At this time, Li Xu listened to his father's narration in silence and sighed softly.

However, it is not necessary to blame my father for this matter. After all, given the situation at that time, it was impossible for my father to refuse the other party's face, and it was not a forced marriage. Besides, the daughter of the big boss might not even like me.

Li Xu didn't feel any psychological burden, so he said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

……

Before meeting the girl who was four years older than him, Li Xu naturally asked for her contact information and briefly agreed on the meeting place and time.

Through the fathers of both parties, Li Xu got the girl's QQ number.

Her profile picture is a picture of "Flowers in Bloom and Prosperity", and her online name is Jinghe.

Li Xu learned from his father that the girl's name was Ye Jinhe.

For a moment, Li Xu had an indescribable impression of this girl.

If he didn't know that the other person was 25 years old, and saw from his online name and profile picture that he was 52 years old, Li Xu would have reason to believe it.

Adding the other party as a friend didn't take him long to wait, as the request was approved almost instantly.

Li Xu tentatively sent a message: "Hello, my dad asked me to meet you."

After Li Xu sent this message, he began to think about how to continue the conversation.

Unexpectedly, the other party showed that he was typing, and soon sent a message: "If you are free this afternoon, let's meet in People's Park. I am free after 2 o'clock. If you have a better place, that's also fine."

Li Xu looked at the message with a strange expression.

How should I put it? Although we haven't met yet, I really admire the other party's style of not talking nonsense and getting straight to the point without dragging things out.

Li Xu naturally had no intention of having any story with this girl. He just wanted to complete his father's task.

So I didn't take this seemingly blind date meeting seriously.

In his view, there are only two possible outcomes.

One is to meet and become friends, and occasionally make an offline appointment.

The other way is that after meeting, the two people become each other's avatars in the friend list.

Li Xu quickly replied: "I'm fine with that. Let's go at 2 o'clock. Where do you live? I'll pick you up."

But the other party said bluntly: "No, just meet at the agreed place."

It would be much easier if you answered so straightforwardly.

Before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xu had already arrived at the agreed south gate of People's Park.

He had just arrived and parked his car in a parking space on the side of the road when he saw his date.

In fact, Li Xu was not sure whether the girl was his date today, but she was somewhat conspicuous in the crowd.

She was wearing a gray miniskirt and a white shirt. Her legs were straight, long, white, and she was holding a parasol. She was the most beautiful and eye-catching person in the crowd.

Li Xu got out of the car and walked straight towards the girl. The girl locked her eyes with him almost the moment he got out of the car.

She waited until Li Xu came up to her, looked him up and down, and said, "You are Li Xu, right?"

Li Xu nodded and smiled: "Ye Jinhe, right?"

Ye Jinhe looked up at the sky and saw that there was a thick cloud covering the sun.

She slowly put away her parasol and said to Li Xu, "Let's go shopping first."

Li Xu didn't expect that they would meet and communicate in this way.

But no matter what, as long as today's task is completed, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The two walked into People's Park. Ye Jinhe didn't say anything, and Li Xu was too lazy to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

After walking in silence for a few minutes, Ye Jinhe sighed slightly, turned his head to look at Li Xu and said, "Are you from Peking University or Tsinghua University?"

Li Xu nodded.

"So you have good grades?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Are you a person with a high IQ?"

Li Xu shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"What is 60 degrees Sin?"

"what?"

"I was just kidding."

At this time they walked to the lake, where several wild ducks were swimming.

Ye Jinhe pointed to a chair by the lake and said, "Sit down for a while."

Li Xu nodded.

Just after sitting down, Ye Jinhe sighed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't really like boys younger than me. Of course, this is not absolute."

Li Xu didn't care and nodded: "Yeah."

Ye Jinhe picked up a stone nearby and threw it into the lake, then said, "You probably don't really want to come here, do you?"

Li Xu quickly shook his head: "No, actually I'm quite happy about it."

Ye Jinhe shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me. I could feel it from the moment you got off the car and saw me."

Li Xu was a little surprised: "So powerful?"

Ye Jinhe nodded and sighed slightly: "Did your father tell you about me?"

"I didn't say much, just that you are a very good girl."

Ye Jinhe said: "What I mean is, didn't I tell you that I've been on many blind dates?"

Li Xu shook his head: "No."

Ye Jinhe sighed slightly, stood up and said, "My dad thinks I'm too picky, but that's not true. My standards are not that high. I deliberately lied to him about some of the things I said."

Li Xu blinked, but he didn't ask more questions out of curiosity.

Ye Jinhe continued to talk to himself, "Just like you were surprised just now, why did I immediately feel that you were not interested in me. Well, there is no need to deny it, let's be sincere. This may be your first time, but I have experienced this kind of scene many times."

She said seriously: "My standards are not high, but there is a bottom line, that is, the other party must be sincere."

Ye Jinhe looked into Li Xu's eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm very sensitive to emotions. I can tell a person's attitude and impression of me pretty quickly."

Li Xu fell silent for a moment.

Seeing Li Xu's expression, Ye Jinhe laughed and said, "Relax, did I scare you?"

Li Xu shook his head. "I'm just curious about what kind of girl you are."

Ye Jinhe stood up and said, "Then let's go for a walk so you can get to know me better... let's just chat like ordinary friends." She pointed in a certain direction and said, "That's a very famous blind date corner over there. Do you want to go there?" Then she turned her head and looked at Li Xu and smiled.

Every time she met a boy, she would take him there to have a look. Li Xu nodded, "Okay."

The two set off again, and Ye Jinhe suddenly asked, "Have you been here before?"

Li Xu shook his head and said honestly: "No."

After a pause, Li Xu suddenly asked, "But I have something strange."

Ye Jinhe nodded: "Yeah."

Li Xu asked slowly, "You're only 25, why have you been through so many..." He hesitated before saying, "Blind date?"

Ye Jinhe was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "You can't find it in daily life."

Li Xu's expression was a little strange, "Not really."

Ye Jinhe shook his head. "No, you don't understand. I really can't find one. I've never been in love since I was a child."

Li Xu held his chin and said, "Everyone must think your standards are too high."

Ye Jinhe snorted, "Everyone thinks so." She suddenly stopped and looked at Li Xu seriously and said, "My standards are actually not high at all. In summary, there is only one."

Li Xu blinked.

Ye Jinhe said: "He can conquer me. But, unfortunately, I have never met a boy like him."

Li Xu smiled dumbly and said, "It doesn't seem very high." Then he walked forward on his own.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Jinhe's eyes. It was the first time she heard someone say that this standard was not high. She followed Li Xu's footsteps and asked, "Really? You don't think it's high either?"

Li Xu nodded and said slowly, "It's really not that difficult to subdue a girl like you."

Ye Jinhe frowned slightly at this, but didn't refute. She continued, "Actually, I'm very open to dating, so I always attend every date my family arranges, because I can't find guys like that in everyday life. Most guys put themselves in a low position when they're with me. Some of them are indeed very good, but in my eyes, it's like something is missing. I feel like they're incomplete. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Xu sighed slightly, glanced at Ye Jinhe, and said seriously: "Let me tell you, your mentality is a bit..."

"Ok?"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Ye Jinhe clearly felt what Li Xu was going to say, and it was really annoying to say things half-sentenced.

The blind date corner was just ahead. Ye Jinhe said, "Actually, I think it's a good idea to have parents introduce people. At least in a sense, it can expand your social circle and increase the possibility of meeting the right person."

Li Xu nodded.

The two of them walked around the blind date corner together. There were various blind date information on both sides of the corridor. Li Xu looked at the information of the girls posted in the blind date corner with great interest. There was less conversation during this process.

When they came out of People's Park, the sun broke through the clouds again. Ye Jinhe opened the parasol, looked at Li Xu and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight, right?"

Li Xu looked at his watch, smiled, and said, "I think we've completed today's mission. I can report to my parents now."

Ye Jinhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

The two said goodbye here in a friendly manner, and Li Xu walked straight to his car. Ye Jinhe glanced at Li Xu, only to see him get in the car and drive away without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jinhe's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked slowly in the opposite direction.

When Ye Jinhe returned home, her father couldn't wait to ask, "How is the child from the Li family?"

Ye Jinhe just shook his head and said lightly: "He is too young. I don't like him very much."

Ye Jinhe's father sighed slightly, and for a moment his expression showed disappointment, but he didn't say much.

After hesitating for a moment and preparing to change the subject, he said to Ye Jinhe, "I found you a job in human resources that will be a good opportunity to utilize your expertise."

Ye Jinhe shook his head and said seriously, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm going to the capital to try my luck. I want a change of scenery and a different mood. Don't try to persuade me, Dad. I've already thought it over and informed you. In fact, I've already found a job there. It's also in human resources for a large company."

Her father wanted to say something, but Ye Jinhe was in a low mood and said, "I'm a little tired today. I'll go back to my room first."

Watching his daughter return to her room silently, Ye Jinhe's father sighed slightly.
