I just wanted a sweet romance, I never imagined becoming a super-rich person!

Chapter 55 A Little Interlude on the Blind Date

Looking at her daughter touching up her makeup, Liu Hong said, "Daughter, Mom really didn't lie to you this time. This time, the man was introduced by your second uncle."

"A few days ago, your second uncle was working as a laborer in Sanshui County. He became coworkers with the man's parents. After getting to know each other, they started talking about their children."

"Your second uncle said that this boy is exceptionally outstanding, even more handsome than the stars in TV dramas. He doesn't even need a dowry. The next generation you have after marrying him will definitely be a perfect combination of strengths."

Zhou Yifei glanced at her mother speechlessly.

"Mom, are you treating me like a three-year-old?"

Zhou Yifei didn't believe a word her mother said, and said indifferently, "Mom, save your breath. If there really were men that good-looking, would they be available on the matchmaking market?"

Liu Hong replied, "What are you saying? Do you think you're that bad? Haven't I dragged you around looking for a partner too? Mom's worried about you, afraid you'll get scammed. Do you think other people think the same way I do?"

Zhou Yifei was taken aback.

Although she wasn't the narcissistic type, she was voted the school beauty in both high school and university.

Even if she's not exceptionally beautiful, she's certainly better looking than the average person, and it's a fact that she has no shortage of admirers.

Indeed, her mother dragged her to blind dates every day, and she herself hadn't met anyone who could move her heart; basically, none of the men who pursued her were worth looking at.

Subconsciously, she still leans towards traditional marriage. If her parents can introduce her to someone decent, she'll give it a try.

but.

Although that's what she thought, Zhou Yifei still didn't believe her mother's words and had no expectations for this blind date.

She said calmly, "Alright, alright, whatever, I'll come with you on this blind date."

"Whether the man is as outstanding as you say, Mom, is still unknown, but it's true that he's arrogant."

"This is the first time I've arrived before the man, and I've waited for so long."

"Ten minutes at most. If he doesn't come soon, I'm leaving. I'm going to go online with my friends later!"

Zhou Yifei has loved playing e-sports since she was a child. While girls her age were going to bars and nightclubs, she spent all her time playing games in internet cafes. Although she had a computer at home, she preferred the atmosphere of internet cafes.

Of course, she mostly chooses internet cafes with good environments; she rarely goes to ordinary internet cafes.

Liu Hong glared at her daughter and said, "You're a girl, all you do is play games all day. You're not allowed to go anywhere today. You have to wait until you see someone."

That's what she said, but the man hasn't arrived yet, and Liu Hong is starting to feel dissatisfied.

A few minutes later.

A figure appeared in the coffee shop.

It was Lu Ran who had deliberately arrived late.

"Hello handsome, please come over here to order."

Lu Ran was about to say no, he was here to find someone.

Before I could even speak, a cleaning lady was pushing a trash can past by. The wheel of her cart accidentally ran over a half-filled bottle of water, causing the trash can to tip off the cart.

It fell to the ground and made a mess of trash.

Lu Ran's trousers and shoes were splashed with a few drops of water. Although she was a little annoyed, it wasn't the aunt's fault. The trash can was blocking her view, and who knew that someone would litter on the spot again after the ground had just been cleaned.

Just because Lu Ran isn't going to hold a grudge doesn't mean others won't.

A woman was recording with her phone, pointing at the aunt and angrily saying, "What's wrong with you? Look at this, you've ruined my new clothes!"

The woman quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, young lady, I... I didn't see anything on the ground..."

The woman said coldly, "If 'sorry' was enough, what would be the point of having police?"

"Don't pretend to be pitiful. I hate people like you the most. You always act like a weakling when you make a mistake, trying to get others' sympathy."

"Let me tell you, times have changed. You're the one who dirtied my clothes, so you have to pay for them."

The aunt nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll pay for whatever it is."

The store staff wanted to go up and persuade her, but seeing that the woman was recording a video on her phone, no one dared to say anything to avoid it being filmed and posted online.

Although many people saw it, the bottle that caused the accident was the one the woman had just casually tossed on the ground.

The woman said casually, "This is a designer brand, it costs two thousand yuan."

"Two thousand." Upon hearing that it would cost two thousand, the aunt turned pale. Her monthly salary was only a little over two thousand. She really couldn't afford to pay such a large loss. She only had a few hundred yuan on her, and the rest had been sent home.

If the shop hadn't provided meals and accommodation, she probably wouldn't have been able to afford food, and she really couldn't have come up with two thousand.

But since it was her fault after all, she had to find a way to pay it off even if she couldn't.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay for it. Wait a moment, I'll call home."

From the content of the call, it can be heard that the aunt has a son who is currently receiving treatment in the hospital, and she is calling him to ask him to pay the medical expenses first.

That's already quite generous of them.

The woman who could record the video seemed to think that seeking redress was too easy. Instead of being happy about receiving compensation, she sneered:

"Hehe, sure enough, the old lady who usually needs young people to give up their seats becomes incredibly fast once she enters the market, and the moment she makes a mistake, a sick family member pops up. Auntie, times have changed, your kind of acting is outdated."

Lu Ran frowned.

He didn't want to get involved, but this woman was too shameless; she'd throw away all her dignity for a little bit of online traffic.

Moreover, Lu Ran also saw the employee badge that was faintly visible under the woman's clothes. Upon closer inspection, he realized that she was actually his employee, a female anchor from Upstream Media.

Lu Ran stepped forward and advised, "Miss, I saw the whole thing. It was because you littered that the auntie overturned the cart."

"Even if it's not entirely your fault, the auntie has already agreed to compensate you, and you're still using abusive language and recording videos with what you think are just some fair internet slang terms!"

"Everyone has their own opinion and stance on right and wrong, and no one can make a fair judgment. But aren't you afraid of backlash for trying to manipulate public opinion and profit from other people's emotions?"

The cleaning lady was very grateful to see someone stand up for her, but she was afraid that the kind person would be implicated, so she kept urging the young man in front of her to let it go and not say anything more. She offered to pay compensation and apologize.

When the woman saw someone speak up for the cleaning lady, she was overjoyed, as if she had discovered a treasure, and immediately pointed her phone at Lu Ran.

"Oh, so the good Samaritan has finally appeared! People like you who are generous with other people's money are the most hateful. Do you think netizens will praise you or scold you if I post this video online?"

"Wake up, bro. Netizens have already woken up. You're even more despicable than this old lady."

"Look, family! Right now, this guy probably thinks he's really handsome. But that's just for now. In a few days, he'll probably be posting about having 'Yu Yu Syndrome' online."

Lu Ran had to admit that this woman was very good at using the internet; every word she uttered could ignite a public outcry.

He knew that saying more would be useless, so he didn't bother to waste any more words.

I went to the corner, picked up a broom, and helped the aunt clean up the trash and put it back in the trash can.

The cleaning lady wiped away her tears and kept thanking her.

After cleaning up the trash, Lu Ran took out his phone and said to the woman casually, "I don't know if I have Yu Yu syndrome, but you might get it very soon."

After saying that, he ignored the woman and dialed Bai Yongxiang's number.

Bai Yongxiang manages most of the female anchors in the company. This woman is wearing clothes worth thousands and using the latest iPhone, so she must be one of the more capable anchors in the company.

It would be most appropriate to let Bai Yongxiang handle this.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, is there still a problem with the contract?"

"The contract is fine, I've already signed it. Now, I'd like to trouble you, Mr. Bai, to come to the coffee shop across from the company. I need your help with something."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm coming right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran didn't even look at the woman and walked straight in another direction.

He came today to deal with his blind date. He originally planned not to come at all, but his mother said that the woman's uncle was a very good coworker of hers, so even if Lu Ran was unwilling, he had to meet with him in person to make things clear.

He deliberately arrived late to leave a bad impression, but he never expected to encounter such a situation.

Lu Ran looked at the message his mother sent and finally found the location.

Sure enough, it was a mother and daughter who came together.

The girl was quite pretty, and she was staring at Lu Ran in astonishment as she sat down in front of him.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Lu Ran."
