Chapter 110: Do you have a girlfriend?
It was still early for dinner, so the two of them strolled around the mall for a while.
While eating, Xu Shuyun asked Zheng Qian, "President Zheng, those things my father said last time are just a common failing of the older generation. Please don't take it to heart. If it affected you, I apologize to you on behalf of my father."
Xu Shuyun said this deliberately, wanting to test Zheng Qian's attitude.
Zheng Qian was even more puzzled. Apologize?
What was there to apologize for?
"It's a small matter. I won't take it to heart, and it didn't affect me at all. There's no need for you to apologize, President Xu," Zheng Qian said, waving his hand nonchalantly.
Seeing that Zheng Qian really didn't take it to heart, Xu Shuyun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Her father had already hinted so clearly for them to develop a romantic relationship, yet you really don't take it seriously?
As a woman, how could Xu Shuyun not want to be in a relationship? It's just that in the past, she had poured all her time and energy into her career.
Whenever she saw her close friends and besties showing off their boyfriends, husbands, or even their babies, Xu Shuyun would feel incredibly envious.
She wanted that kind of sweet romance too!
It wasn't that her standards were too high. The previous Hu Yuebin was truly a spoiled rich second-generation heir, eating, drinking, and having fun all day. Coupled with his dissolute private life, Xu Shuyun had zero interest in him; in fact, she was quite repulsed.
A man like Zheng Qian would be a perfect match for her.
On the outside, she appeared to be a female elite, but deep down, she was still a little woman.
When it came to dating, she couldn't just throw herself at him; that would be so embarrassing...
Other people all had men pursuing them crazily; Xu Shuyun felt that this step couldn't be skipped.
Faced with Zheng Qian saying he "didn't take it to heart," she wouldn't be the one to say, "Actually, we could give it a try."
"Mm, I was just afraid you'd misunderstand. It's good that it didn't affect you," Xu Shuyun said, following Zheng Qian's lead. Her words were firm, but she was extremely reluctant inside.
"By the way, when do you plan on getting married?" Zheng Qian asked.
"Me? I'll just get married when I meet the right person. I'm not young anymore, and my classmates and friends all have babies already."
"Then what kind of man do you think is suitable?"
Xu Shuyun: ???
Shouldn't today be her stage?
Why does it feel like Zheng Qian is the one pestering her with questions?
Xu Shuyun thought about it and decided to just be blunt with Zheng Qian.
"As long as we hit it off, that's about it."
"I don't understand."
"It's just… a tall, handsome, young, promising man with immense drive, like you."
After saying this, Xu Shuyun took a deep breath, very expectant of Zheng Qian's reaction.
"No, no, no. You're taller than me when you wear high heels. Handsome is true, but tall? Forget it."
Xu Shuyun was almost angered to death by Zheng Qian.
What did her words mean? Couldn't he understand?
Idiot!
How could his emotional intelligence be so low!
I've already hinted so clearly, why doesn't he get it!
"It's still early. Why don't we go see a movie after we finish eating before heading back?"
Xu Shuyun didn't continue this topic. She planned to let it cool down first and find another way to bring it up to Zheng Qian while watching the movie later.
"Sure, I'll listen to you," Zheng Qian readily agreed. He didn't have anything else to do anyway.
"By the way, don't call me President Xu anymore. It feels too distant. Just call me Shuyun or Xiaoyun. I'll call you Xiao Qian, okay?"
Zheng Qian nodded.
There weren't any good new movies released recently. After dinner, Xu Shuyun casually bought two tickets on her phone and took Zheng Qian into the cinema.
Halfway through the movie, Xu Shuyun suddenly asked, "Xiao Qian, do you already have a girlfriend?"
A sudden, fatal question.
For a moment, Zheng Qian didn't know how to answer.
The reason Xu Shuyun asked this was because Zheng Qian's behavior was simply too foolish.
At the last banquet, her father's words combined with her own behavior had already made the situation clear. Even the company executives nearby could tell what was going on, so why couldn't Zheng Qian see it?
Just a moment ago, Xu Shuyun had also said that she liked men like Zheng Qian.
If a girl can say such things, it means she is willing to interact with you and date!
Zheng Qian was the Vice President of Zhengxin Shipyard, had so much money in his hands, and had entered the business world at a young age. If he couldn't even see through these two things, Xu Shuyun wouldn't believe it.
The only explanation: Zheng Qian was playing dumb.
He was overdoing it a bit.
For a girl with such good conditions as her, wouldn't a normal man accept?
Unless Zheng Qian already had a girlfriend or was already married.
Seeing Zheng Qian's strange expression and his hesitant appearance, unable to answer, Xu Shuyun already had the answer in her heart.
Zheng Qian didn't want to lie to Xu Shuyun, so he told her the truth.
He had the Favorability System, so how could he not see that Xu Shuyun had a favorable impression of him and wanted to interact with him?
It was just that he kept playing dumb, not wanting to get involved in more romantic entanglements.
"Mm… I understand now."
Xu Shuyun was deeply disappointed, and her Favorability toward Zheng Qian plummeted.
Favorability -15 points.
Current Favorability: 50 points.
After watching the movie, the two exchanged polite greetings and went their separate ways.
The reason Zheng Qian said that was also because he didn't want to hurt Xu Shuyun.
Although Zheng Qian was a bit of a playboy, in his heart, Jin Lu was forever the woman placed in the first position.
A strong-willed woman like Xu Shuyun would certainly not be willing to share him with other women.
Zheng Qian also felt that this matter could not be brought to the table.
There could only be one primary partner, and that was Jin Lu.
Xu Shuyun wouldn't be willing, nor could she be his second girlfriend.
Zheng Qian didn't have the heart to wrong Xu Shuyun like that.
A woman like her, as long as she was willing to look, would definitely be able to find a good man; there was no need to hang herself on his tree.
The next morning, Zheng Qian took Xia Xixi and accompanied Chen Weiqiang to Yebai Airport to pick up an inspector from China Airlines.
Zhong Xiaoyao was in charge of that foreign enterprise, Duster, so they didn't call her.
"Hello, General Manager Sun. I'm Chen Weiqiang." Chen Weiqiang shook his hand enthusiastically.
This inspector from China Airlines was named General Manager Sun. Chen Weiqiang didn't know his specific position, but since he could come on a business trip to another city, his position certainly wouldn't be low.
Although he didn't know his position, Chen Weiqiang still addressed him as "General Manager Sun."
Whether in the mall, the workplace, or any other occasion, as long as someone had the power to make the final decision on whether your matter would succeed or not, addressing them as "General Manager" was always correct.
General Manager Sun caught a glimpse of Xia Xixi, with her delicate features, outstanding looks, and fair skin. She was holding a briefcase in front of her with both hands, looking bright and dignified.
He almost drooled looking at her.
After shaking hands with Chen Weiqiang, he reached out his hand toward Xia Xixi, wanting to shake that frost-white, snowy jade hand.
"Hello, I am General Manager Sun."
"Wrong, wrong. This is our company's Vice President, Zheng Qian."
