Cheng Kai poked a piece of barbecue with a knife angrily: "Qin Gou, can't you be a little more tactful when rejecting a girl?"
Qin Fanglu raised his eyelids: "I just made my attitude clear."
Cheng Kai was speechless, but he seemed to be used to it: "As expected of you."
An hour ago, outside the cinema, Xin Lei generously invited Qin Fanglu to dinner. Qin Fanglu said bluntly: "Sorry, I don't have any plans to fall in love."
Xin Lei expressed her understanding.
As for otakus, most of them have some incurable diseases, such as wanting to marry a certain anime character, not being used to talking to people and only liking to play games alone, being insulated from love and so on.
In fact, Xin Lei herself is one of them.
But no matter how much of a fan of the second dimension one is, one still has to live in reality. Xin Lei admitted that she was moved.
Qin Fanglu is a very rare, calm, career-oriented otaku. He doesn't seem to be as much of a homebody as Cheng Kai, and perhaps he is more suitable for a relationship.
Xin Lei was unwilling to be dismissed with just one sentence. She smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, are you really not going to step out of your comfort zone and give it a try? Maybe we can get along well."
Xin Lei is a smart person, and being rejected twice is enough to show Qin Fanglu's firm attitude.
Qin Fanglu deliberately fed him poisonous chicken soup: "Everyone has his own pace in life."
Xin Lei twisted her hair and said, "But more or less, you will have feelings for someone. Not all the people I know are in love, but at least they have liked someone before."
At this point, there is nothing more to say. The other party's attitude is clear enough. Xin Lei will not pester him anymore. The image of Qin Fanglu in her mind has also become "not very suitable for a relationship."
Qin Fanglu replied seriously: "Just because others like it doesn't mean I have to like it too."
Qin Fanglu seemed to be rejecting a salesman: "Ms. Xin, thank you for your invitation, but no."
Cheng Kai drank bitter tea and felt sad: "It's really true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from flood will die of flood."
"He was like this when he was in school. He has no interest in living people, whether male or female." Cheng Kai said to Xin Lei, "He looks decent in the business world, but he actually lacks humanistic care."
"This question may be a little offensive, but I'm a little curious." Xin Lei said, "Have you never liked anyone?"
In comparison, Cheng Kai is much easier to talk to.
Xin Lei couldn't help but complain to Cheng Kai about Qin Fanglu. Cheng Kai wanted to laugh but felt helpless: "I warned you in the restaurant not to like him, or you will become unhappy."
Why on earth did he agree to Xu Feifei's request to confirm the official pairing in a fit of anger
At this moment, the feeling of frustration was gradually replaced by amusement, and Xin Lei felt that this person was quite interesting.
Cheng Kai started to act badly: "Forget it! Let's set a small goal first. As long as I get rid of singleness before you, I will be satisfied!"

Ruan Cunyun walked into the company in the morning light on Monday and looked helplessly at Qin Fanglu's desk.
Xin Lei smiled and said, "Besides, you are already 26 or 27 years old. You must have met a lot of people, right?"
Ruan Cunyun regrets it now, very much.
It was empty, and he felt strangely relieved.
It was not the first time that Qin Fanglu was asked a similar question. Cheng Kai had asked it before, and other friends had asked it too. Qin Fanglu always gave the same answer: "Like is not a necessary condition for maintaining life. I have never liked anyone, and perhaps I will never like anyone in the future."
Xin Lei nodded and concluded: "It turns out that men are better made of paper."
Before dinner, Xin Lei and her bestie went home, leaving Cheng Kai and Qin Fanglu alone to eat barbecue in the mall.
Asking Ruan Cunyun to go to his boss in person to ask about his relationship status might as well ask him to jump off the scene.
Fortunately, my colleagues are all good at gossip, so I should be able to get the answer by asking them.
Ruan Cunyun found Xiaomei after some hesitation: "Sister Xiaomei, do you know that Mr. Qin... is married?"
Xiao Mei was stunned, then smiled maliciously: "You asked this question quite suddenly, I haven't heard that he has a girlfriend - what's the matter, do you have any relatives or friends who like Mr. Qin?"
Ruan Cunyun immediately shook his head to deny it, trying to act like a gossip expert, and said mysteriously: "No, no, no, it's just me... I came to help Sister Rain get the documents very late last time, and Mr. Qin was still working, he was alone, so I was a little curious."
Ruan Cunyun's "revelation" really attracted other gossipers. One of them leaned over and said, "Boss Qin's relationship status has always been quite mysterious, but I heard that he is getting engaged! To the daughter of a group."
"You're talking nonsense!" another person retorted, "Xiao Yang from the business department told me that Mr. Qin is actually gay and has a boyfriend of five years and they are in a very good relationship."
More people joined the battle: "Stop spreading rumors, President Qin has been married for a long time! His child is about to go to kindergarten!" Ruan Cunyun's head hurt from hearing this.
It turned out that no one knew the truth. Not only did he fail to find out the official match, but he also came up with a lot of matchmakers.
The noisy sound gradually became quieter as it came closer. Qin Fanglu walked into the office area with a calm expression, and everywhere he went became quiet.
When he reached his own desk at the end, the only sound on the entire floor was the clicking of keyboards.
"Everyone, please check the latest announcement." Qin Fanglu said loudly, "Please submit it before the end of get off work today."
Ruan Cunyun didn't dare to look up. He stared at the computer screen and clicked on the announcement following the instructions.
It turned out to be [Voting for the Zhufang Ministry of Science and Technology’s Autumn Travel Destination].
There were low murmurs of discussion around me, and it was not difficult to hear that everyone was a little excited.
This is the first time in many years that I can travel on a public expense without taking up the weekend!
The working atmosphere throughout the whole day was filled with joy, and when the working time came, everyone began to discuss the content of the vote.
The two most popular destinations right now are "Seaside Villas" and "Maple Valley", and the two groups have different opinions.
People who live in seaside villas feel that they can play water sports, there is a business district next to them for convenient shopping, and they have all the modern facilities, and they can easily find barbecue, table games, KTV, or script-killing programs.
Maple Valley is a secluded scenic spot in the mountains, far away from the hustle and bustle and convenient facilities. There may be many mosquitoes in the mountains.
Maple Valley supporters also expressed their own views, saying that autumn is the season for viewing maple leaves, and the scenery must be better than the commercialized seaside. As for the KTV script-killing, you can go there at any time. Of course, traveling means going to places you have never been to!
Ruan Cunyun watched the two groups of people fighting quietly, and suddenly he felt the air around him shake. Qin Fanglu stood beside him and was also watching the employees arguing.
Ruan Cunyun's heart suddenly started beating very fast.
The colleagues in front of him were intoxicated with quarrels, and Qin Fanglu was standing next to him. This seemed to be the most suitable time to ask! Anyway, no one would notice him.
Ruan Cunyun secretly glanced at Qin Fanglu. His brows were clear and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Just stand up, walk closer to Qin Fanglu, and then ask, "Excuse me, do you have a partner? I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious." How simple is that!
However, Ruan Cunyun was about to go crazy as he thought about it. How could he ask such a rude question? It was weird no matter how he thought about it! So how should he organize his words
Every time Ruan Cunyun was extremely nervous, his face would involuntarily become flushed. He was still struggling with it and didn't realize that his face was slowly turning red.
"Ruan Cunyun, which place did you choose?" Qin Fanglu's voice suddenly fell.
Ruan Cunyun curled his toes nervously, paused for two seconds, and said steadily: "... Maple Valley."
"Why?"
Of course it’s because there are no KTVs or shopping malls in the deep mountains and forests!
Ruan Cunyun said: "Because I have never seen a mountain full of maple leaves before."
—That’s true.
Qin Fanglu nodded, reminded the employees that "the principle is that the minority obeys the majority, everyone remember to vote" and returned to his desk.
Ruan Cunyun looked at Qin Fanglu's departing back in despair, as if he was watching a cooked duck flying into the sky.
In the end, he didn't have the courage to ask.
Forget it, never mind, just let Xu Feifei worry about it!
-
In the evening, Qin Fanglu looked at the voting results and gently moved the mouse with his index finger.
The Beach House had two more votes than Maple Valley.
We are going to a beach villa. Will the kids be disappointed
Fortunately, Qin Fanglu has not voted yet.
Although one person has one vote by default, and Zhu Fang has always adhered to the principle of democratic voting, as the boss, he should have some reasonable weight, right
Qin Fanglu opened the backend of the voting program and added a few lines of code.
Back to the voting interface, Qin Fanglu pressed the "Maple Valley" option, and suddenly his votes increased by 5.
The columnar bar of Maple Creek Valley immediately surpassed the beach villa with a slight advantage and was honorably elected.
There was no other reason. Ruan Cunyun's face was very red and he looked very excited. He must have wanted to go to Maple Valley very much.
Moreover, Qin Fanglu himself prefers quiet mountains and rivers, and it is just a wish of the newlyweds to be fulfilled, which is no big deal.
Qin Fanglu felt that his logic was very coherent and seamless.
