23: Straight to the point

“Hello, may I ask how to get to the ‘Shanshui Qing’ private room?”

Rushing as fast as he could, Su Can finally arrived at the Shanshui Renjian Hotel. He walked to the front desk, carrying two large urea bags, and inquired.

“Hello, sir, your surname is Su, correct?”

The female receptionist looked at Su Can and confirmed with a smile, clearly having been briefed by Lin Xiaoxiao and others earlier.

“Yes, that’s right,” Su Can said.

“Alright, Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I’ll have someone escort you over right away,” the receptionist said with a sweet smile.

It had to be said that the staff quality at high-end hotels was quite good.

There was no snobbery or judging people by their clothes.

After all, Su Can’s attire was very casual. He had been in the mountains yesterday, and if one looked closely, they could still see some dirt and grass clippings on him.

Coupled with the two large urea bags he was carrying, he looked utterly rustic, like a country bumpkin.

“Sir, this way, please.”

Soon, a female server arrived in front of Su Can and led him towards the private room Lin Xiaoxiao had booked.

Upon reaching the private room door, the server knocked, opened it, and said to those inside:

“Miss Lin, Mr. Su has arrived.”

The boisterous chatter in the private room suddenly went quiet, then Lin Xiaoxiao’s nonchalant voice came out.

“Let him in.”

“Alright! Mr. Su, please come in.”

The server then fully pushed open the door and gestured for Su Can to enter.

Su Can raised an eyebrow. With his hearing, he naturally heard the chatter and discussions inside clearly. It was obviously not just one person.

However, he didn’t say anything, just nodded and walked into the private room.

As soon as he entered the private room.

Looking at the messy bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, the opened red wine, the fine cigarettes that had been opened and quite a few smoked, and a table full of discarded tissues.

Su Can was momentarily stunned.

Was this really supposed to be a blind date?

The male party hadn’t even arrived yet, and they had already started indulging?

Although Su Can was there to go through the motions, he didn’t take the blind date seriously and didn’t intend for it to work out.

But wasn’t this approach a bit too disrespectful towards him? Too disrespectful of people?

One should know that for blind dates, the man always pays the bill; there’s no instance of the woman paying.

And for a blind date, four women showed up at once. What was this all about?

“You are Su Can?”

Lin Xiaoxiao and her three best friends all looked over. They thought he was somewhat handsome, but his attire was a bit too rustic.

And he was still carrying two urea bags. What era was this? Using such a low-class item to carry gifts really ruined the impression.

“I apologize, there was a slight accident, and I’m late,” Su Can said, suppressing his displeasure.

He then calmly placed the urea bags on the appropriate spots on either side of the chair, sat down, and looked up to ask, “May I ask which of you is Lin Xiaoxiao?”

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could speak, one of her best friends immediately started complaining.

“You still have the nerve to ask who Lin Xiaoxiao is? You’re too disrespectful, aren’t you? Didn’t you do any preparation before coming?”

“Also, may I ask, are you crippled? What time is it, and you’re only just arriving now?”

“Even if you walked, if I ignore the air resistance on your cross-section, and account for ten traffic lights and four insurance salesmen, you should have arrived by 10:30, right?”

“But what happened? It’s almost 11:30 now, and you’re just arriving!”

“You have no sense of importance for this blind date, how can you possibly leave a good first impression!”

Su Can: “…”

Su Can was shocked.

Was it really that big of a deal to be a little late?

It didn’t delay eating, nor did it delay the blind date. Was this serious?!

Besides, he hadn’t even arrived, and they had already started indulging, eating his food, drinking his drinks, and still righteously scolding him?

Su Can was almost laughing from anger. He reached for the cigarettes on the table, preparing to light one.

But his hand stopped halfway.

Chunghwa Gold Slims!

A hundred yuan a pack!

Su Can glanced at the table; there were seven or eight packs, clearly not bought by them but provided by the hotel.

Was this a blind date, or were they here to exploit a rich guy?

Seven or eight packs of Chunghwa Gold Slims was seven or eight hundred yuan, and they would be even more expensive in a hotel than outside.

Before his rebirth, he would have had to work two or three days without eating or drinking to earn that much.

“You still want to smoke?”

Su Can’s hand had just paused, before he could even notice the details, another one of Lin Xiaoxiao’s best friends sneered and took the cigarettes away.

“Where are the gifts? Let me see what gifts you prepared for this blind date.”

“Gifts?”

Su Can was stunned again. “A blind date requires gifts? Sorry, I didn’t think that far!”

“Then what’s in your shabby urea bags?” Lin Xiaoxiao’s best friend’s expression changed as she questioned him.

“I’m sorry, the items in these bags were not prepared for the blind date,” Su Can said with a faint smile.

“No gifts? What kind of blind date are you on?” Lin Xiaoxiao’s best friend persisted.

Su Can immediately raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: “Are you the one I’m on a blind date with?”

“No.”

“If it’s not you, why are you making such a fuss?”

Su Can said unceremoniously, “You can’t even control your mouth while freeloading. Who is Lin Xiaoxiao!”

“Xiaoxiao, look at his attitude. With someone like this, is there even a need to continue the blind date?”

The best friend, too angry to maintain her composure, turned and spoke to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Only then did Su Can know who the main person was. He casually sized her up, a cold sneer forming in his heart.

Heavily made up, her true appearance was unclear, and her demeanor suggested she was not an easy person to deal with.

“Alright, Cui Cui, calm down first.”

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Can. He was somewhat handsome, and though his clothes were a bit rustic, he had been neither humble nor arrogant since he entered, appearing not so simple. She wanted to get to know him better.

So she turned to Su Can and said, “I am Lin Xiaoxiao, introduced by Aunt Wang.”

“Let’s get straight to the point. Do you have a house?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked Su Can.

“Yes,” Su Can said faintly.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up and she asked, “How many square meters?”

Su Can thought about the footprint of his old house and said faintly, “Over one hundred eighty square meters.”

“Oh?” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened even more. Over one hundred eighty square meters, he was indeed a hidden gem of a man.

“What about you?” Su Can looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

“Of course I don’t,” Lin Xiaoxiao replied self-righteously, then added, “Do you have a car?”

“Yes!”

“How much does it cost?”

Su Can thought about the Yadea electric bicycle at home and calmly extended three fingers.

“Three hundred thousand yuan!” Lin Xiaoxiao immediately felt a spark of interest.

Su Can was stunned for a moment but was too lazy to explain.

He thought, let them misunderstand, he wasn’t incapable of earning three hundred thousand, so it wasn’t exactly bragging.
