Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?
Chapter 94 Blind Date

Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Blind Date

At midday, the street started to bustle again.

A bustling crowd streamed out of the high-rise buildings, deliverymen hurried along, showing traces of fatigue yet full of energy.

Sunlight spilled onto the streets, where people gathered in twos or threes discussing work and grumbling about their bosses, or walked briskly to their destinations alone.

At the entrance of a Western restaurant, a neatly dressed middle-aged woman warmly held An Tong’s hand, saying, "Xiaotong, the person I’m introducing this time is definitely reliable, a genuine local. You’re dressed so beautifully today, it’s just perfect."

An Tong indeed took effort to dress up today, wearing an Angola red shirt paired with a brown leather skirt, along with brown knee-high boots, appearing exceptionally fashionable and radiant.

Her naturally very fair skin was further highlighted by this outfit, making her appear like a wealthy young lady out for leisure and fun.

"No, Manager Wang, I dressed like this today for something else..."

"What could possibly be more important than this meeting? Don’t you want to marry a local? This is my friend’s son, a bona fide Celestial Sea native. He fell for you at first sight after seeing your pictures, don’t miss out."

Saying this, Manager Wang pulled An Tong’s slender arm, leading her into the restaurant, taking the opportunity to whisper close by: "Xiaohu completely meets the conditions you mentioned earlier to me. Trust Sister Wang, Sister Wang will never set you up for failure."

Finally bringing An Tong into the restaurant, Manager Wang glanced around at the upscale décor, clicking her tongue, "This restaurant has a considerable spending rate, I estimate seven to eight hundred per head. See how thoughtful Xiaohu is? Even if you don’t like him, you should give him a chance, perhaps something could bloom?"

Suddenly noticing a young man dressed in a suit swiftly approaching, Manager Wang’s eyes lit up, eagerly calling out, "Xiaohu! Come, come, this is An Tong, whom Aunt Wang mentioned. Isn’t she even prettier than the photos?"

Hu Kun was dazzled the moment he saw An Tong, immediately smiling in satisfaction: "Aunt Wang surely recommends the best. Miss An, I’ve already reserved our spot, shall we have a seat?"

Seeing how far things had progressed, An Tong’s brow furrowed slightly, yet she ultimately compromised for the moment, agreeing to his proposal.

Seeing An Tong agree, Manager Wang was visibly delighted, instantly giving Hu Kun a knowing glance.

Understanding the signal, Hu Kun amiably pulled out a chair for An Tong and called a waiter, deliberately ordering coffee and snacks in English for her.

"Xiaotong, look at his English, he studied abroad for two years and just returned."

Although Manager Wang was sitting beside An Tong, her words were entirely directed towards praising Hu Kun.

Hearing this, An Tong scrutinized Hu Kun briefly, noting his tall stature, well-defined features, and relatively gentlemanly demeanor, overall indeed better compared to her previous arrangements.

Considering her manners, An Tong relaxed her previously unwilling expression a little.

Sharp-eyed to detect An Tong’s change, Manager Wang promptly signaled Hu Kun with her eyes.

Receiving the cue, Hu Kun confidently spoke up: "Miss An, Aunt Wang already shared your expectations with me, and I believe I meet your criteria."

Then he began to proudly introduce himself, listing a ten-million-dollar apartment, a two-hundred-thousand-dollar car, a job with a thirty-thousand annual salary, and both parents being locals with pensions.

Undeniably, according to what Hu Kun mentioned, he did indeed meet An Tong’s previous requirements.

If it were a month ago, An Tong might have been somewhat tempted, but strangely today she couldn’t settle her mind; she kept recalling Li Jing’s appearance, which seemed etched into her heart.

According to her plan, she already requested leave for the afternoon intending to meet Li Jing. She had already found her answer to the choice Li Jing offered.

But unexpectedly, Manager Wang intervened suddenly, dragging her to meet Hu Kun who happened to be nearby for business, suggesting they have lunch together.

Seeing An Tong lower her head without saying anything, Hu Kun raised an eyebrow, saying, "What, does Miss An find my conditions insufficient?"

Hearing this, An Tong’s expression changed slightly, she hurriedly raised her head to clarify: "No, no, Mr. Hu, your conditions are already excellent."

Upon hearing An Tong’s response, Manager Wang promptly accommodated with a smile: "See, I told you Hu Kun’s conditions are commendable."

Speaking so, she behaved as if An Tong had already agreed, gesturing towards Hu Kun: "Xiaohu, now that you’ve listed your conditions, also mention your requirements. Everyone has their terms, it’s best clarified beforehand."

Hearing this, Hu Kun nodded, smiling towards An Tong, saying: "Miss An, actually I don’t have many demands, but if we truly got together later, there are just a few things I wanted to inform you upfront to avoid any unforeseen misunderstandings."

"Right, right, right, this is necessary. If we talk things out, there will be no misunderstandings in the future." Manager Wang immediately echoed.

Hu Kun continued smiling, "First of all, I need to say that because of the ten million yuan house, my parents sold their old suburban house, so they have to live with us."

"That’s certainly not a problem. Many wives in Celestial Sea City who came from other places live with their in-laws." Before An Tong could speak, Manager Wang answered enthusiastically on her behalf.

"Secondly, I hope you can be a full-time housewife, as the family not only needs to take care of the children and handle some household chores, but also my parents are not very convenient, so we’ll need to trouble you to look after them."

"That goes without saying, honoring the in-laws is a must, and besides, your salary isn’t low, it’s more than enough to support the household." Manager Wang jumped in to reply again.

"Thirdly, I might have lots of friends, especially female ones, so I hope you don’t mind and give me enough personal space..."

"Everyone needs personal space, it’s normal, totally normal~"

"Fourth, my job often requires overtime and social engagements, so I might come home late at night..."

"Fifth, my parents enjoy lively environments, and their initial thought is planning for three kids..."

Listening to one so-called request after another, An Tong’s barely-there smile gradually disappeared, as she slowly understood why someone with seemingly good conditions had not found a suitable partner.

By the time the other party had listed a total of eight demands, An Tong’s face was entirely devoid of a smile.

Seeing this, as if already anticipated, Manager Wang immediately spoke up, "Xiaotong, although Xiaohu has many requests, it’s normal; which family doesn’t have some standards? Besides, for us non-local people, these requests are already quite minimal."

"Yes, Miss An, considering my conditions, I don’t think any of these requests are excessive."

Hearing the two of them being so supportive of each other, An Tong already understood that Manager Wang was on the other side, so she forced a polite smile and looked up, "Well then, Mr. Hu, Manager Wang, since we’ve discussed everything that needed to be discussed, I do have something to do, may I leave first?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaotong, don’t rush to leave!"

Seeing An Tong’s dissatisfaction, Manager Wang got anxious all of a sudden and quickly grabbed her arm, persuading, "Xiaotong, think clearly, Xiaohu’s conditions are real, there’s no falsity, I can vouch for it!"

"Manager Wang, I understand, Mr. Hu’s conditions are excellent, I just don’t match up to him, I genuinely have something, I must..."

"Xiaotong, listen to what you are saying. If his conditions are good, does it mean you find his demands excessive?"

Manager Wang got slightly stern, advising, "Xiaotong, we’re outsiders, we can’t have it both ways, can we? Xiaohu met all the conditions, surely he can make a few requests, right?"

Hu Kun also said, "Miss An, to be honest, as long as you’re with me, you can have a local residence permit, and there’s a house and a car. I think it’s very hard for a person with my conditions to look for an outsider girl who has nothing."

"Exactly." Manager Wang advised again, "A girl’s youth only lasts a few years, you can’t aim too high, otherwise, when you get older, no one will want you.

When looking at others’ conditions, we also need to see... our own conditions, right?

If it weren’t for Xiaohu’s love at first sight for you, he certainly wouldn’t seek a girl with your conditions. Xiaotong, listen to Sister Wang’s advice..."

Seeing the conversation shift from flattery to implicit belittlement, An Tong’s expression grew increasingly distressed, she couldn’t bear it any longer, got up and said, "Sorry, Mr. Hu, Manager Wang, I really have something to..."

"No way!"

Seeing Hu Kun’s face sour a bit, Manager Wang gritted her teeth, grabbed An Tong, and assumed a commanding posture, frowning, "Xiaotong, he took time out of his busy schedule to invite you to a meal, you have to at least have a meal before leaving.

I know you took the afternoon off, so you can just accompany Xiaohu, and get to know each other better."

"I..." An Tong’s expression shifted slightly, her arm turned red from the grip, she was about to say something when she saw Hu Kun had already called the waiter, ordering meals for three.

"Miss An, I’ve already ordered the meal, you can’t waste it now, can you?"

Hu Kun smiled, preparing to continue speaking when his phone on the table showed a call from "Meng Meng."

His expression changed slightly, he immediately pressed the button to hang up, deliberately placing the phone face-down on the table, then smiled, "It’s a company call, but today, to accompany Miss An, I won’t be taking work calls."

Seeing the two unwilling to let her go, looking at her like they had her, an outsider young girl, locked down, An Tong lightly bit her lip, hesitated for a long while, and finally secretly pulled out her phone to send a message to Li Jing.
