We were both sincere and friendly about starting our cooperation, deliberately avoiding any personal issues.
After the meeting, when Long Fengxi was about to leave, Jin Miaomiao called out to her.
"President Long, please wait a moment."
Long Fengxi turned around and smiled, "Is there something else, President Jin?"
"Can you spare me some time? There’s something beyond work I’d like to talk to you about."
"Let’s go to my office."
Long Fengxi gave her employees a shout to wait for her on the first floor, then followed Jin Miaomiao to her office.
"Tea or coffee?" The rıghtful source is N0velFire.ɴet
"No need. What do you want to talk about?" Long Fengxi sat down, hands clasped on the table.
"Actually, I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time but never found the right opportunity. I knew about your past with Shen Congmo before I married him. When we divorced, I demanded a high alimony, thinking he’d have second thoughts. To my surprise, he was quick to pay up just to get out of our marriage. I thought that even if he divorced me, there’d be no chance for you two, but the outcome was honestly unexpected. President Long, setting aside your professional abilities, I never thought you deserved his love."
"So the one with him is me, not you." Long Fengxi responded light-heartedly, "Your personal opinion is just your bias. We’ve known each other since we were kids, been together since our teens. Do you think you understand me better than he does? Your understanding of me is just cobbled together from gossip and news. Do you really know me? Daring to draw such a conclusion without truly knowing me, if that’s not prejudice, what is? It’s my ability to make him love me this much, just like it’s your ability to get him to pay a hundred million in alimony. I hear President Jin hasn’t had a boyfriend since the divorce. It must be tough for a strong woman like you to be without a partner. You should enrich your emotional life – that’s my heartfelt advice."
Jin Miaomiao forced a laugh, "I’ve been too busy with work to think about that. If President Long knows any suitable, handsome men who match my family’s status, I’d be happy to meet them."
"Unfortunately, all the men I know like that are already taken, otherwise I’d have introduced them to you. President Jin is young, beautiful, and wealthy – plenty are at your beck and call, but indeed, you should find someone matched to your station. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to afford another hundred million in alimony if you get divorced again. Well, my people are waiting for me, so that’s it for our talk. Goodbye."
"Then I won’t keep you any longer, take care."
Once the office door closed, Jin Miaomiao grabbed a pen from the desk and threw it furiously.
She intended to provoke Long Fengxi but ended up provoked herself.
Father Jin pushed the door open and, seeing her standing there angrily, asked, "Who upset you?!"
"What, wasn’t the cooperation talk pleasant?"
"It’s not about the cooperation. Dad, I want to go on a blind date." Jin Miaomiao looked at her father, "Tell mom to arrange it for me."
She said she wanted to go on blind dates, and Madam Jin acted fast. After all, having such a precious daughter, the main priority was to find her a decent man to settle down with sooner rather than later.
Thus, after Madam Jin’s meticulous selection, five bachelors of suitable social status, all single, were chosen.
Madam Jin showed her the photos. After looking at them, Jin Miaomiao discarded one immediately, "Mom, this guy’s chubby and has big ears. Are you really willing to let your daughter marry him? I’m picky about looks; I really can’t stomach such appearances. And this one, his looks are fine, but he’s ten years older and divorced. No, thanks. The third one, Mom, he’s a playboy. Do you want me to deal with illegitimate children every day? The last two..."
