“Matchmakers can arrange blind dates, but they can’t guarantee that every blind date will have a result.”
“It’s my honor to be able to have a blind date with President York today. I really don’t dare to hope that President York will like me. I didn’t hold out hope in the first place, and now this result is expected.”
Romina glanced at her and then focused on driving again.
She said, “Meizhen, you are still young and have just started working. Work hard first and make some achievements in your career. You will have advantages in blind dates or love in the future.”
“At least I won’t be disliked by my future in-laws.”
Ji Meizhen agreed, “That’s right, I will work hard first, and after a few years of work, I will have some achievements, and then consider love and marriage. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry.”
“Come on, I believe you will get better and better in the future.”
“Thank you, Vice President, I will.”
The two returned to the company, and Ji Meizhen got off the car first. She didn’t go to the office building immediately, but walked to other places, not wanting people to see that she got off the vice president’s car.
Only the vice president and the secretary knew about the blind date at noon.
No one else knew. The vice president
‘s secretary told her quietly that she was going to be taken to the blind date with President York.
She was just worried that the blind date would fail and affect her reputation.
Perhaps the vice president also guessed that the blind date would not work out.
Romina got off the car last, but entered the office building first.
She took the elevator directly to the floor where her office was located.
The secretary had already arrived. Seeing her coming back, he looked at her with gossipy eyes.
Romina said with a smile: “It’s not time to go to work yet. I’ll give you ten minutes to gossip. Come in.”
The secretary giggled and followed Romina into the office.
As soon as the office door was closed, she asked anxiously: “Vice President, how was the blind date? Is there any hope?”
“Do you still want to arrange the blind date in the evening?”
Romina sat down on the sofa in the reception area. The secretary was very considerate and quickly went to pour her a glass of warm water.
After drinking half a glass of water, Romina put down the glass and said, “How can it be successful? There is no hope at all. Apart from saying hello when they first met, Merissa didn’t even look at the girl.”
“When I asked him to pick some food for the girl, he said he didn’t know what she liked to eat and it was difficult to pick up the food.”
“He didn’t even talk to her, which made me, the matchmaker, feel embarrassed. I think he probably doesn’t want to go on a blind date. He just wants to find an excuse to torture me.”
“Arranging a blind date for him and accompanying him on the blind date is really a torture. I would rather deal with a pile of documents than do such a thankless task.”
The secretary laughed and said, “I guessed this would be the result. President York’s eyes are on top of his head. How could he easily fall in love with the blind date?”
“Over the years, so many strong women have pursued President York, but to no avail.”
“The blind date we arranged for President York is just a new employee in the company, and he’s an ordinary employee. How could President York be interested in him?”
Romina sighed, “I just came to my senses. I shouldn’t have signed the agreement with Merissa in the first place. I feel like I jumped into a big pit and was tricked by him.”
“I knew I was tricked by him, but I couldn’t do anything about it. It was all my fault for getting drunk that night. Drinking ruined things. I won’t get drunk again in the future. I’ll just drink two or three glasses at most.
Having learned her lesson, Miss Lan dared not drink recklessly again, for fear of getting drunk again and causing a disaster.
The secretary consoled her, “The vice president should just treat it as inviting President York to dinner twice a day, and the blind date is just a side thing, and President York doesn’t really want a blind date anyway.”
With Merissa’s conditions, there is no need for blind dates. As long as he is willing to give others a chance, there are many strong women who want to marry him.
“Even if I don’t arrange a blind date for him, I will still treat him to a meal. I owe him one.”
“I don’t know why I’ve been so unlucky lately. I lose to Merissa every time. No, I have to go worship God this weekend and pray to Buddha to protect me from being cheated by Merissa.”
The secretary chuckled, “Vice President, haven’t you always disbelieved in ghosts and gods? You said that your destiny is in your own hands, and you have to work hard for what you want.”
“Don’t believe in gods and Buddhas. If there are really such powerful gods and Buddhas who can grant whatever you ask for, then everyone doesn’t have to work hard. Everyone can go to the Buddha and make a wish, and you will get what you want.”
Romina said, “It’s like this. We have to work hard to get what we want. God will not treat those who are prepared unfairly.”
“Now before work, go and help me choose a blind date, and take her to dinner with Merissa in the evening.”
The secretary smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll do it now. Vice President, don’t be depressed. We all know that this matter will not have any result.”
Romina waved her hand, motioning the secretary to help her.
She was embarrassed to say that during the blind date, Merissa ignored the blind date and was very considerate to her as a matchmaker.
After the secretary left, Romina leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The phone rang.
Romina pulled back her thoughts and took out her phone to check. It was her brother.
She answered the call.
“Romina, how is it? The blind date at noon.”
Romina said to her brother: “President Lan, are you very free? You even remember to ask the result of such a small matter, and it has nothing to do with you.”
Lan Dongxiao chuckled, “Brother is very busy, very busy, but no matter how busy I am, I have to drink a glass of water. I just took the time to drink a glass of water to gossip a little, haha, brother is really curious.”
“It’s interesting to think about it. You and Merissa are sworn enemies. Do you feel uneasy when you arrange a blind date for your sworn enemy? Are you racking your brains to find good things about Merissa and tell the blind date?”
“If this gets out and those entertainment reporters in Yangcheng know about it, haha, it will definitely be the front-page headlines.”
Romina looked unhappy.
“I have done a good job of keeping it secret. If it gets out, it must be Merissa or my elder brother who said it.”
Lan Dongxiao cried out: “How could I tell it? I am your elder brother and I am the same person as you. Only Merissa could tell it.”
“Really? I always feel that my elder brother is on Merissa’s side. He is eager for Merissa and I to be reported and become the object of the scandal.”
Lan Dongxiao did not admit it: “You said that you and Merissa are impossible. I think what you said makes sense, so my brother is on your side and will never stand on Merissa’s side.”
“We are siblings, and Merissa is an outsider. How can I not help my sister and an outsider?”
Lan Dongxiao did not dare to let his sister know. Before his sister and Merissa had dinner, he had talked to Merissa first, and hinted that Merissa had to make some sacrifices before he had a chance to be with Romina. He
also hinted that Merissa should give Romina some gifts and start to pursue his wife openly and secretly.
If my sister knew about this, she would definitely be angry, which would easily affect the relationship between brothers and sisters.
Well, let’s keep it secret for the time being.
