The day finally arrived for the blind date. Not long after breakfast, Liu Chunzhi began to urge Li Wei: "Why are you still watching TV at home? It's time to take action."
Li Wei said lazily: "It's been a long vacation and there's nothing else to do. Just let me stay here for a while."
"Have you forgotten what day it is today? Why don't you pack up quickly and go to the barber shop to put your hair up or something."
"Mom..." Li Wei shouted, and then said: "I won't go."
"Obviously you promised, why did you change your mind again? You have to go even if you don't want to go today." Liu Chunzhi went over and pulled her daughter up from the sofa, as if she hated iron.
"I said I don't want to put my hair up. Putting my hair up obviously makes me look ten years older. Why am I bothering myself so much? Oh, don't bother with my affairs."
From the day Liu Chunzhi moved in, Li Wei felt that this mother interfered too much in her life. But she doesn't know how long this trouble will stay with her.
Liu Chunzhi saw that her daughter was really impatient and could not persuade her very much. She was afraid that she would offend Li Wei and not go on the blind date. At this moment, she changed her mind and had to go along with it.
"Okay, whatever you love is fine, you just have to go and see that person."
"Okay, I won't go back on my promise."
Liu Chunzhi heard about it and let her go.
The meeting place was arranged at a newly opened Starbucks a few kilometers away from here, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
This kind of time is just right for Li Wei, neither early nor late, not a meal, he can sit for a while and just socialize with each other before leaving, and it's not that embarrassing.
She was still lying lazily on the sofa watching TV. After Liu Chunzhi changed her strategy, she went to the supermarket and bought a bunch of things. Then she got into the kitchen and started making lunch.
Li Wei got up at nine o'clock and had breakfast almost ten o'clock. Before twelve o'clock, Liu Chunzhi prepared lunch for Li Wei to eat. Li Wei had nowhere to eat, so he had to eat it casually. I managed it in a few mouthfuls.
"You eat less than a ball of thread, how can this be okay?"
"Mom, I haven't even had time to digest my breakfast. I really can't eat it. Please eat slowly."
Li Wei didn't make much change. He casually tied a ponytail, wore a casual sweatshirt, a pair of white sneakers, carried a small bag, and went out.
It was still very early, and she was not in the habit of arriving early, so she went shopping for about forty minutes. Seeing that the time was almost up, she walked to the agreed store.
Today is Tuesday, not the weekend. Therefore, there were only a few people in the store. Li Wei started looking for his target as soon as he entered. There were four people in the store, including a couple and a middle-aged woman sitting at the second table after entering the door, flipping through a magazine. There was also a man sitting on the innermost sofa with his back to her. The man was working with a laptop. It seemed that the person she wanted to meet hadn't arrived yet, so Li Wei walked in. After finding a seat and sitting down, a waiter came over and asked her what she wanted to order. Li Wei took a look at the order handed to him and finally selected a latte.
Li Wei was separated by a desk from the man working in the office. When the man looked up midway, their eyes met and they both cried out in surprise.
"Li Wei!"
"Production!"
Li Wei seemed a little surprised, so he went up and said hello: "Hello, producer, I didn't expect to see you here."
Zhu Heng was no less surprised than Li Wei, and said with a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence. Are you out for leisure?"
Li Wei didn't want to tell the leader that he came here for a blind date, so he said: "I'm going shopping. When I'm tired, I come in and sit."
Zhu Heng said: "I'm usually so busy. It's a rare day off to relax and unwind."
"Producing is still hard work, and I don't forget to work during the holidays."
Zhu Heng said: "There are a lot of brats at home who are too noisy, and I can't do anything even if I want to, so I went out to hide and be quiet."
"Oh, that's it." Li Wei didn't go over to sit at the same table with Zhu Heng. The coffee she ordered came quickly, and she was not in a hurry to drink it. She looked at the time and saw that ten minutes had passed since the agreed time. The other party was really unpunctual. She didn't seem anxious. She planned to go back immediately if he didn't show up in ten minutes.
But if that person came in at this time, and the leader was here, it was always not good in front of the leader, so I thought of making a call to the other party and planning to re-arrange a place. It didn't matter whether the other party agreed or not.
She found the number stored in her phone, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally dialed it. The call was answered quickly. She had never called this number since it was stored in her phone.
"Hello… "
Li Wei was stunned as soon as she called him. She answered the call from Zhu Heng at the next table. Zhu Heng was also saying at this moment: "Hello, when will you arrive?"
Li Wei immediately hung up the phone. She looked through the address book on her phone again. This number was different from the number she usually used to contact Zhu Heng. Why did you just dial his cell phone? Then she called a second time. This time she didn't answer immediately but waited for the ringtone when the other party's phone was connected.
After confirming again, both of them were very surprised. Li Wei finally sat over, and Zhu Heng also stopped what he was doing.
"What's going on?" Li Wei asked first.
Zhu Heng confirmed to her: "Li Wei is here to wait for someone?"
This time Li Wei did not deny it, and Zhu Heng asked again: "Are you waiting for a blind date?"
Li Wei nodded again, but felt incredible in her heart. Could it be that the person she was dating was her leader? At this moment, her mind recalled the situation of the blind date that her mother had told her about. In his thirties, he returned from overseas with a doctorate. Zhu Heng fits both of these points.
Zhu Heng laughed: "God, what kind of trouble is this?"
Even Li Wei found it funny: "How did this matchmaker bring us together, but why did the producer's number change again?"
"There is no change. I work under the same number and live under the same number."
"No wonder."
The two looked at each other and smiled. This world is too small. Where could Zhu Heng still have his mind on work? He turned off the computer and said to Li Wei: "This is really interesting." Originally, he was not interested in blind dates, but after dealing with the elders in the family, he never thought that the person coming would be His own subordinates.
After laughing, they seemed a little embarrassed. They had always been working partners, and now they suddenly became a blind date. The two seemed a little uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Compared with Zhu Heng, Li Wei was much more relaxed. She naturally talked about the newly recorded program with Zhu Heng. It was still about work, just like in the office.
