blame at every turn

Yue Qin was moved.It wasn't until Lu Yat-nian pushed Ran Xueying's contact information to him that he realized that Lu Yat-nian was helping him develop contacts.

He accepted Lu Yatnian's love again.Yue Qin has always been relatively passive socially, and several of his important clients were directly or indirectly introduced by Lu Yat-nian.

Yue Qin stared blankly at the chat interface with Ran Xueying for a while, really didn't know how to start, so he decided to make an appointment with Lu Yat-nian to express his gratitude.

After the news was sent out, he realized that he forgot to contact the contact person, and the social panic broke out in an instant, and his hairs stood on end.He was still hesitating whether to withdraw it, and after withdrawing it, he said something to remedy it, and Ran Xueying replied with an "Ok" emoji.

Ran Xueying: "Is it okay tonight? If it's later, I should be preparing for the banquet. I have a small appetite and can't afford to eat big meals in a row. It's rare to have a good meal, and I can't pack it. I don't want to leave my stomach three days in advance." But it’s a loss.”

Yue Qin answered quickly.

After waiting for less than a minute, Ran Xueying sent him two more positioning messages.

Ran Xueying: "Hot pot or barbecue, which one do you think is better?"

Yue Qin opened the location and took a look. He knew the barbecue restaurant, which was less than 500 meters away from the company.

The hot pot restaurant was a little far away, but Yue Qin looked at Ran Xueying's business card he had saved from Lu Yat-nian, and found that the hot pot restaurant was diagonally opposite Ran Xueying's company.

Yue Qin: "Then let's go to the hotpot restaurant."

Ran Xueying said she had no objection.

She replied again: "I'm free after six o'clock in the evening, how about you?"

Yue Qin holds several positions in the company and is usually only free after ten o'clock.

But he and Ran Xueying just met, so he was embarrassed to keep the other party waiting.Fortunately, his working hours can also be relatively flexible. Yue Qin quickly made a plan in his heart, delegated part of the work to the employees, and calculated the overtime pay before carefully replying: "Seven o'clock, yes." ?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Yue Qin breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

For Yue Qin, there is no job more difficult than socializing.

He even worked during his lunch break that day, in order to arrive early so that Ran Xueying would not wait for him.

However, when he arrived at the hot pot restaurant at 06:30, Ran Xueying was already sitting there playing with her mobile phone.

Yue Qin didn't dare to eat spicy food. When Ran Xueying asked him if he wanted to order mandarin duck pot, he didn't dare to say anything. He just said that he could do it, depending on the other party's wishes, so the red pot was served in the end.

Yue Qin has never eaten hot pot, but he has heard that hot pot is very particular. He had learned a little bit before coming here. He was half-cooked. When the pot was actually served, it was Ran Xueying who was actively operating it. I can sit there obediently and watch the soup in the pot bubbling.Then he picks up whatever Ran Xueying picks up, like a kitten who has no idea and only imitates blindly.

He was so hot that he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so the sour plum soup became his savior.In order to appetize, Ran Xueying did not drink less, she was very open in front of Yue Qin, without the consciousness of being a lady at all, and ate much more than Yue Qin after a meal.

At the checkout, Ran Xueying offered AA, but she consciously paid twice as much as Yue Qin.

After that, she invited Yue Qin to go for a walk to digest food, and asked about Yue Qin's work on the way.

Ran Xueying was really too proactive, and she was so enthusiastic that Yue Qin felt awkward.

But I have to say that as a chat partner, Ran Xueying is very suitable for him.After all, for an introvert, the most ideal way to socialize is to just sit there and wait for an extrovert to pick him up.

At the beginning, Yue Qin was still a little cautious, but he let go after chatting. When it came to his project planning, it was more like a different person.

Ran Xueying listened very carefully.

They walked all the way to the door of Ran Xueying's house. When they were about to part, Yue Qin realized that he seemed to be talking all the time. He didn't even give Ran Xueying a chance to speak. So I thought he was rude.

But Ran Xueying only expressed her encouragement and appreciation, and also provided him with some suggestions, and the contact information of a relatively cheap equipment supplier who can guarantee the quality.

Finally, he said: "The people invited to Mr. Li's banquet are basically around my age. Most of them are not rushing to invest in entertainment. Just like you and me, I want to take this opportunity to get to know more people. You Don't be too nervous. But there may be some evil intentions in it. We don't want to interfere with other people's private life, but in their eyes, you are similar to those little actors who are not famous and have no confidence. So don't run around and follow me. And remember to dress plainly so as not to be misunderstood."

Yue Qin responded obediently.

But looking back, Lu Yat-nian poked him again, asking him to dress up a little more beautifully, like a courting male peacock, so that Yang Ya, who had been away for many years, could look at him for thousands of years and regain the excitement of his youth.

This is the contradiction between professionalism and love brain.

In order to attend the banquet without delaying the work process, Yue Qin worked overtime. It was not until the day of the banquet that Yue Qin gave himself half a day off that he began to face up to this problem.

He deliberately went back to his hometown and opened his dusty closet, which was full of clothes he wore in college. After graduation and started working, he never bought regular clothes, and he often wore suits and leather shoes on his rest days.

He took a photo and sent it to Ran Xueying, asking her if she could wear her college clothes.

Ran Xueying replied to him with a "baa baa" emoticon in seconds.

Ran Xueying: "Don't dress up like a pure college student, some bad men like this!!!"

Yue Qin asked Lu Yat-nian for another opinion.

Lu Yat-nian: "You wear the outfit you work in a coffee shop, it's amazing, I'm sure Yang Ya won't be able to walk after seeing it [thumbs up]"

So Yue Qin found out his work clothes, took a picture with his upper body in front of the mirror, and sent them to Ran Xueying and Lu Yinian respectively.

Ran Xueying replied in seconds: "[wiping nosebleed]"

But before Yue Qin could see the fine print on the emoji, Ran Xueying withdrew it again.

Ran Xueying: "No."

These two words reveal the strict concern of the elders.

But Lu Yat-nian not only said yes, but also encouraged him to hang up the rabbit's tail.

Yue Qin recalled the days when the two of them worked together in a coffee shop during their freshman year.Ever since the owner of the coffee shop had a whim, he took the fur of his blue cat and gave each of them a bunny tail to hang on their waists, the popularity of the coffee shop skyrocketed. Da Mengyi, who is seven feet tall, couldn't bear to rely on his butt to attract customers. After the salary of the month was paid, he ran away with Yue Qin.

Yue Qin also thought of how when he was in high school, he liked to wear his summer school uniform into his trouser waist. On weekends, Yang Ya, a junior high school student, sneaked into the school to see him. The two hid in the birch forest behind the teaching building and ate popsicles, sitting side by side. On the stone bench, Yang Ya never ate popsicles but only licked them. Every time he ate them, the popsicles melted. When he dipped his hands in sugar water, he would like to smear Yue Qin's ass cheaply. ,Feel good.

Based on the above, Yue Qin politely rejected Lu Yinian's proposal.

After all, he is [-] centimeters taller than the [-]-foot man Lu Yat-nian. As a fierce guy, he is only suitable for some occasions where he needs to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Yue Qin doesn't need to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, because Yang Ya needs safety more feel.

In the end, after a compromise, Yue Qin went out wearing his work clothes from the company.

In order to meet up, Lu Yat-nian put a toad mirror on his head, and drove out his Koenigsegg ONE to serve as the driver for Ran Xueying and Yue Qin.

When he arrived at the hotel, Yue Qin realized that most of the people who came and went were dressed more casually, and only a few of them wore formal clothes like him.

And the few people in formal attire were also dressed in black. Others could see that they were custom-made high-end goods, with outstanding temperament. In comparison, he looked more like a waiter serving plates than a customer.

The banquet has not yet started, there is only wine on the table, and there is nothing to eat.There were people chatting happily everywhere, but Yue Qin didn't know anyone, so he could only follow behind Ran Xueying timidly.

Ran Xueying only knew some of them, and the rest had only seen the business cards or the profiles on the website.

As a woman, the first thing to do in such an occasion is to meet up with her little sisters first.

So, Ran Xueying, a mother in her 30s, took her little friend Yue Qin and introduced him to the Seventh Aunt and the Eighth Aunt.

Ran Xueying: "Xiaoyue, this is Li Shensheng from Xingqun Group, sister Li."

Yue Qin: "Hello, Sister Li."

Ran Xueying: "This is Huang Yuxin from Pangtouyu Pharmaceutical, Xiao Huang."

Yue Qin: "Xiao... Hello, Miss Huang."

Ran Xueying took him to recognize a group of people, and at the end of the recognition, Yue Qin was a little dazed. To be honest, he didn't remember anyone, and he was so busy calling her sister that it became a habit to say it in the end. Ran Xueying took him to meet a pretty girl. Looking at the middle-aged man's iconic beer belly, he almost blurted out "Sister Wang" when he looked calm and arrogant.

Of course, Ran Xueying didn't come here to bring up children, she had her own goals, and it was inconvenient to always take Yue Qin with her.

After taking Yue Qin to brush his face in front of her acquaintances, Ran Xueying left Yue Qin on the sofa in the living room, and told him to talk to the person she introduced before, but not to run around.I will come to him later, and if there is a suitable one for him, I will help him introduce it.

As soon as Ran Xueying left, the child Yue Qin who was among the adults didn't dare to talk to anyone, and could only stare at his phone dully.

He just opened Weibo, wanting to know more about Yang Ya's recent situation, when someone bumped his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, and his phone almost flew out.

"Excuse me."

The apologetic person left in a hurry, not even giving Yue Qin time to react.When Yue Qin looked up, he could only see the people who crowded the room, and he didn't even know who the person who hit him was.

He only remembered that the man had an obvious smell of sweat on his body, and his voice still sounded familiar.

The author says:

The length estimate was wrong, Yang Ya didn't make an appearance, leaving Yue Qin with a dingy little tail.

Not all places have a hot pot culture. Shandong, Northeast China and other places are more familiar with barbecue than hot pot.
