As Qiao Ruoyang gazed at the man’s tall and straight figure, she felt lost and distracted, only to be brought back to reality by an incoming phone call.
She took out her public transportation card and swiped it to board the bus, then inserted Bluetooth earphones into her ears.
“Yangyang, I took a taxi. How about you? Did you have an encounter with a handsome college student?” Ning Yanlan’s voice came through.
“I just got on the bus.”
Qiao Ruoyang sat in the back seat by the window, and the man’s handsome and delicate face flashed through her mind. She chuckled softly and said, “No college students, but I did meet someone from the working class.”
Ning Yanlan became interested, “Oh?”
“His eyes are very beautiful, as if they hold a vast expanse of stars. He’s the type I liked at first sight.’
“With such high praise, it seems like he’s a handsome guy.” Ning Yanlan asked a crucial question, “Did you get his Whatsapp?
No.”
Qiao Ruoyang, usually bold and fearless, never felt shy about asking strangers for their Whatsapp. Ning Yanlan instinctively thought it was the cold and indifferent handsome guy who refused to give Qiao Ruoyang his Whatsapp.
Three seconds of silence passed.ln order to boost Qiao Ruoyang’s confidence, Ning Yanlan tried to console her, “Tomorrow night, my boyfriend is hosting a welcome dinner at a restaurant. He said he’ll bring some friends along. If there are suitable handsome guys, I’ll try to make a connection for you.”
Qiao Ruoyang and Ning Yanlan were high school classmates, both from Xuancheng City. However, while Ning Yanlan stayed at the local university, Qiao Ruoyang went to Nanqu City for college.
After graduation, Qiao Ruoyang chose to work in Nanqu City, where Ning Yanlan’s boyfriend from her university days also resided. Ning Yanlan wanted to leave her hometown and live elsewhere, and Nanqu City was her best choice.
Qiao Ruoyang raised her eyelids and wiped off the water droplets on her watch, casually laughing.
“That works too.”
“But this time, you can’t immediately ask them to introduce themselves.” Ning Yanlan reminded her.
“If I don’t ask for self-introduction, how would I know their information?
“Let me tell you, if I don’t know, I can ask my boyfriend, and he will probably know. Anyway, you just can’t corner people and bombard them with questions again.”
Even over the phone, Qiao Ruoyang could imagine Ning Yanlan’s expression in her mind.
She was surely frowning, clenching her fists tightly, gritting her teeth, and feeling somewhat helpless.
Ever since Qiao Ruoyang casually mentioned her desire to be in a relationship, Ning Yanlan had been actively introducing various people to her, acting like a matchmaker.
However, Ning Yanlan had introduced to her everyone she knew from kindergarten to college, and without exception, these people became part of Qiao Ruoyang’s “network of talent resources.”
Qiao Ruoyang worked as an HRBP, a Human Resources Business Partner, and she regularly interacted with all kinds of people, keeping up with the real-time dynamics of the industry, and helping employees unleash their full potential. Therefore, her initial reaction upon seeing someone was always about their capabilities and where they would fit.
To describe it in Ning Yanlan’s words, Qiao Ruoyang was a late-stage sufferer of professional illness.
The incessant autumn rain scattered and drifted under the pursuit of fierce winds, heavily beating against the clear glass windows of the classroom.
A man’s figure swayed on the wet steps and gravel road, stopping in a place where the rain couldn’t reach inside the building. He leisurely folded up his umbrella and shook it a few times, and behind him came Chen Yequ’s teasing voice.
“Lawyer Fu, did you go swimming or attend a wet party?”
Fu Qi’s white shirt was half wet, revealing his well-built muscles, and his clean, short hair was covered in fine mist. He had the appearance of someone drenched in cold rain but without a trace of embarrassment.
Chen Yequ lazily leaned against the wall pillar, his gaze sizing up the handsome and clean-cut Fu Qi. He continued jesting, “Who did you go to pick up? With such a big umbrella, you still managed to get drenched. Could it be that you picked up a 250-pound beauty?
Fu Qi tossed the umbrella to him and spoke in a nonchalant tone, “Your umbrella is just too small.”
watcnmg ms ngure, cnen yequ was taken aback. He opened tne umbrella, intending to verify, but ended up splashing himself in the face with the remaining rainwater on it.
“Ugh—
He wiped the water off his face and spun the umbrella in his hand.
“This umbrella is clearly big. It can easily accommodate two or three people—”
“A big umbrella like this can’t be small. It’s your perspective that’s small.” Fu Qi retorted.
Chen Yequ muttered to himself for a moment while facing the umbrella, then suddenly noticed the departing man turning back.
Chen Yequ raised an eyebrow and smirked, “Realized you were wrong, huh? With this umbrella, I can squeeze in two beautiful ladies at the same time. It can’t be small..”
