Chapter 782 What a coincidence! (1/2 Monthly Pass)
"You just need to wear more skirts. You don't dress in a feminine way on weekdays. How can any man like you?"
At around ten o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Lan was ready to go out. Wearing a black suede-textured long dress, carefully put on makeup, and wearing bright silver earrings, she was praised by her mother when she was changing her shoes.
It's not that Wu Lan doesn't wear makeup at work. After all, she is in the entertainment industry and her personal appearance is quite particular. She always wears makeup, and sometimes she will let the company's makeup artist do more formal makeup.
But as her mother said, she rarely wears skirts. At most she wears a business-style skirt, but more often than not she wears pants and suits. She has the attitude of a strong woman, which is indeed not very feminine.
Today she wore this long dress that was as smooth as satin and as soft as velvet. It was a very big breakthrough!
Not only that, before returning to Tongzhou, Wu Lan also asked the company's hairstylist to take care of her hair.
The ear-length short hair, which was originally not very beautiful, has been transformed by the skillful hands of the company's female teacher Tony. Not only has the ends of the hair been finely chopped and slightly curled, giving it a somewhat lazy look, but the hair parted in the middle has been lifted up and tucked between the ears.
Finally, the delicate earlobes and earrings were exposed, gently rippling on the cheeks, making people feel a little more charming.
These words were originally unrelated to Wu Lan!
Of course, Wu Lan was still not used to being charming. When she was about to go out, she still put on a small gray suit, rolled up her sleeves, and grabbed the red handbag, showing her original chic and casual attitude of a strong woman.
It's back again.
"Come on, try to get off to a good start today!"
Her mother sent her out, superstitiously thinking that her red handbag was a good sign.
...
This was Wu Lan's second visit to Starbucks in the Great World Shopping Plaza. She parked her car in the underground parking lot with ease and took the elevator up.
I don’t know if “Mr. He” is here.
When Wu Lan entered Xingba, he first looked around and looked at the solitary male creature sitting inside.
She was used to coming in early, and Wu Lan arrived at Star Baba before 10:30 as she had made an appointment at 11 o'clock.
Of course, eleven o'clock is almost dinner time.
Last night, her mother asked her why she chose to stay at Starbucks instead of a certain hotel or Western restaurant?
Wu Lan's response was to meet up with Xing Baba first to have a brief chat and get to know each other.
If it feels good, then continue eating and chatting. If it doesn't feel good and is no longer interested, Wu Lan doesn't want to waste time. They are both adults and almost middle-aged, and each other's time is precious.
....
"Mr. He", of course, this man does not call himself Mr. He.
His original name was He Jingming. He was forty-five years old, not much older than Wu Lan. The reason why Wu Lan called him "Mr. He" was because he was the boss of a toy factory. Although he was not
How can a net worth of hundreds of millions be such an exaggeration, but he is still considered rich and well-established.
Logically speaking, such a rich man would not find an older woman like Wu Lan when looking for a wife.
But He Jingming is not married for the first time. To be precise, he has been married twice.
His first wife gave birth to a girl for him, but the two divorced very early because of personality differences.
Later, He Jingming concentrated on business and expanded the toy factory. It was only when he was about forty that he got together with a female doctor in her early thirties under the introduction of a friend.
But after all, they still had different personalities, and He Jingming's marriage broke up after less than two years.
Now He Jingming no longer thinks about being young and beautiful. He just wants to find a good woman of similar age and with no generation gap, and spend the rest of his life peacefully.
Of course, this was an introduction from a matchmaker, and what He Jingming said on WeChat was that Wu Lan was not a woman with little social experience and could easily be deceived. She had reservations about all this information.
Since He Jingming’s conversation on WeChat was quite polite, Wu Lan decided to give this candidate a chance to meet him in person!
It's useless to talk all over the place online. Wu Lan still has the confidence to tell whether he is a scumbag offline.
After looking around, she didn't see "Mr. He", but Wu Lan was surprised to see the man who lent her the headphones on New Year's Eve!
What surprised Wu Lan even more was that today he did not sit there blankly holding the computer like last time, nor did he continue to look unkempt and greasy.
He actually shaved his beard cleanly and had his hair neatly taken care of.
Coupled with wearing a gray shirt and a watch with a brown strap, the whole person not only looks like a successful business person, but also has a much calmer and more restrained temperament.
Of course, the oily shine on the face has also been washed away, but the slightly rounded face still gives people an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Um, hello..."
Just when Wu Lan was about to look away, the other party happened to look over, and their eyes collided.
Wu Lan could clearly see the surprise and amazement flashing in his eyes.
Is it because you dress well today?
"Hello, we meet again."
Wu Lan smiled slightly at him.
This generous and decent response made this man who seemed to have little self-confidence feel even more stressed.
"Yes, we actually met again. Um, um, you are here today...well, you didn't make an appointment to meet someone here, right?"
He originally wanted to appear calmer, but he was worried that the words he used would be too straightforward and abrupt. After struggling for a while, he seemed to stutter even more.
"Yes, I made an appointment to meet someone here today."
Wu Lan could actually tell that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.
But when she looked at the nervous round face of the other party, she felt it was interesting, so she didn't expose it.
"Is it someone I haven't met before? Or is it a date with a friend?"
He is still testing.
"It's actually a blind date for people you haven't met before! This Chinese New Year, instead of visiting relatives and friends, you come here to meet a stranger. Isn't it just for a blind date?"
Wu Lan couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Ah, it's really a blind date!"
The other party's face couldn't help but show joy, but he quickly restrained it, as if he was afraid that Wu Lan would think he was too excited.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence!"
Wu Lan said with a smile.
This cleverness of hers is somewhat meaningful.
The other party is obviously here for a blind date.
Otherwise, why would you dress up so formally?
Wu Lan could tell that he seemed not used to wearing shirts or suits. His movements of raising his hands to touch his nose were caught by the ill-fitting sleeves at his elbows.
After the man put down his hand, he became even more nervous. He didn't know where to put his hand, but his eyes were still full of surprise, and then he asked full of expectation:
"Yeah, what a coincidence. Your name is Ma Jiewen, right?"
