Chapter 2 - Chatting with 20 people at the same time is not Aquaman, it's customer service

On Monday morning, when Sheng Yiqing arrived at the company, he only saw Qu Fanyi.

The investment banking department has many business trips and no clear working hours, so most people are too lazy to punch in. The human resources department where Qu Fanyi works is a logistics department, and needs to abide by the strict nine-to-five schedule.

According to Sheng Yiqing's observation, when Qu Fanyi first came to work at their company, she arrived very early every day, put on makeup carefully, and matched her clothes. She would actively participate in all activities in the department. Whenever she met an elder and asked her if she had a partner, she would answer with curved eyes: "No. I haven't had much of a relationship! Brother, can you introduce me to someone?" Loving socializing is a common attribute of animals in the courtship period. But soon, Qu Fanyi began to stop wearing makeup, and even her work clothes became loose and dull and no longer tight.

Sheng Yiqing secretly laughed, knowing that she had heard too much gossip, and completely gave up the idea of finding a partner in the financial circle.

The morning light shone in through the window glass. Sheng Yiqing waved and asked, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?"

The two went downstairs together to buy coffee and croissants.

In the elevator, Qu Fanyi buried her head in her phone and quickly switched interfaces. Sheng Yiqing asked curiously, "Are you busy?"

"No." Qu Fanyi was also generous. She handed the screen to Sheng Yiqing and said obediently, "I'm arranging a date."

"Huh?"

There were several social apps on the screen, including the popular Qingtengzhilian, Moshang Huakai, Qianshou and She Said...Qu Fanyi was now concentrating and quickly greeting the men in the app one by one and sending them a photo of croissants and coffee in the sun. She sighed: "Too busy, like a customer service. I don't know how those time management masters do it."

"Are these candidates?"

Qu Fanyi nodded: "I guess so. It's a two-way selection. First look at the photos. If the photos are suitable, we will greet and chat. Verify the other party's age, background and hobbies. If they are similar, we will quickly arrange a meeting. I have already scheduled meetings this week. I have a date after get off work from Monday to Friday. I will have coffee with two other people at noon on Wednesday and Thursday. The weekend is the busiest. I have arranged six people, and I will meet two on Saturday afternoon alone."

Sheng Yiqing widened his eyes. He thought she was a social phobia. He didn't expect that she had such courage in choosing a spouse: "What is the result?"

Qu Fanyi shook her head: "There are too many weird ones, most of them can't talk to each other, a bit like our HR interview, you know, it takes three seconds to know if it's the right person. If the first meeting is the first round, almost no one can make it to the second round. If I can make it to the second round, I will talk to the other party a few more times. On average, I will get three to four people to the second round each time. Once I fail the second round, I will go to the social networking site for an open audition. Now I can finally understand why some blind date men are too lazy to even buy drinks for you - whether it is time or money, it is a cost, and it should be spent on the right person. At the beginning, they made appointments in coffee shops, but now they make appointments in parks directly, which is easier!"

Sheng Yiqing's eyes became exaggerated: "Are you in such a hurry to get married?"

Qu Fanyi is already 25 years old. This is the golden age for a girl to marry a rich man. A young girl who has just graduated is ignorant of the world, and in two years she will see through the nature of men. Only at this age, she still believes in love and happens to be independent. Qu Fanyi was embarrassed to say that she was a female marriage officer, but she told Sheng Yiqing very seriously: "Marriage is more important to me than anything else."

When she was still in college, when the girls talked about their ideals in the dormitory at night, Qu Fanyi would tell everyone frankly and proudly: "My dream is to be a wife!"

"What is a wife?"

"It means spending your husband's money, not working at home, having afternoon tea every day, doing housework, and sleeping until you wake up naturally, occasionally doing some freelance work to earn some pocket money, or opening a flower shop, a coffee shop, and having your own circle."

Everyone clicked their tongues when they heard this and said, "Then you have to find a rich man."

"He has to be rich and willing to spend money on me, love me, and be able to show it off." Qu Fanyi added seriously, "It definitely can't be an old man."

Everyone stopped talking. On the one hand, they felt that Qu Fanyi's vision was too high, but on the other hand, they believed that she could really achieve it. Young people always have unrealistic and beautiful fantasies about the future. They are brave and enthusiastic. Before entering society, they firmly believe that many beautiful things will happen to them.

When the two entered the elevator, Qu Fanyi was still busy sending various messages. Sheng Yiqing laughed: "You look like Aquaman."

Qu Fanyi suddenly raised her head and looked at Sheng Yiqing solemnly: "But once I have a confirmed relationship with someone, I will delete everyone else. Sister Qing, although I have never been married, I believe that marriage is a lifelong relationship that requires full commitment. It is sacred, so you should concentrate on it."

Sheng Yiqing did not understand what Qu Fanyi meant. She was stunned for a moment before nodding: "I agree." Then she changed the subject, "Among all the people you have now, do you have anyone you want to develop a long-term relationship with?"

Qu Fanyi looked shy and lowered her eyes: "Well, he is a doctor. I will see him after get off work tonight. But he..." At this point, the previous focused and rational look was gone. Qu Fanyi sighed and patted her face, like a girl in love:

"But he is really... so good, so good, I think I am a little unworthy of him."

Qu Fanyi and the doctor made an appointment at a newly opened crayfish restaurant in Sanlitun.

The doctor's surname is Chi, and his given name is Wei. He is the deputy chief physician of the cardiovascular department of Union Hospital.

This is their third date. The first time they had a western meal and visited Houhai together, the second time they drank coffee and watched a movie together, and for the third date, Qu Fanyi decided to choose a more casual location. It can also take the opportunity to make the two of them more intimate.

In Qu Fanyi's experience, the third date is crucial. On the one hand, it means that the two people are more or less interested in each other; on the other hand, she also remembers the dating rule "If two people have eaten three meals and haven't confessed, then they can only become friends."

Qu Fanyi doesn't expect to confess tonight, but she hopes that the relationship between the two can make substantial progress tonight.

The restaurant was bustling with people. She had specially reserved a window seat in advance. She had made a strategy for this seat on Xiaohongshu in advance. The lighting was just right, and there was a mirror opposite the seat, which could ensure that the girl would always remain elegant while eating crayfish. She even planned what to order: one spiced and one spicy. She would eat two spicy first, so that her mouth would swell slightly, and when her nose would sweat a little and her cheeks would turn slightly red, she would start eating the spiced. She should not eat too much spicy, otherwise she would burst into tears and be embarrassed. As for the drink, it was the "Pink Elephant" which tasted sour and sweet but was actually not low in alcohol. When the two of them were slightly tipsy, she could stagger and hold his hand to coax him to send her home.

This set of lousy tricks was learned from an emotional blogger named Qiu Ning'er. She even remembered the original text on Weibo, "The slightly tipsy atmosphere, slightly swollen mouth and blushing face have a fatal attraction to men in the ambiguous period. This is constantly hinting that the other party should kiss her hard." Qu Fanyi had just sat down when Chi Wei called: "Xiao Qu, I have a small surgery and will be late for an hour. If it is not convenient for you, we will do it next time..." Qu Fanyi was stunned, and soon calmed down, saying gently: "It's okay, no rush. I've already sat down. There are power banks in the store. I'm not hungry. I'll just play with my phone and wait for you." The setting sun fell from the window glass with the last bit of its edge. Qu Fanyi came out of the housework tips and Japanese women's storage videos in the Douyin video. An hour passed, and the waiter urged her to order three times. She glanced at the mirror in front of the seat, calmly touched up her makeup first, and then looked at her phone--Chi Wei disappeared. "Hello, ma'am. If we don't order food, we may not be able to reserve a seat..." The waiter hesitated.

Qu Fanyi thought for a moment and said, "Please give me a large portion of five-spice and spicy food first, thank you."

The steaming crayfish was served quickly. Qu Fanyi was calm and asked the waiter for two large white porcelain plates. Facing the empty bowls and chopsticks, she put on gloves and began to peel the shrimps calmly.

"Hey, do you think she is waiting for someone?" The waiter started talking not far away. "She must have been stood up. She arrived long ago. It's been more than two hours. She borrowed a second power bank."

"It must be a man across from me! I have to say that this woman is quite gentle. She didn't get angry when others were late for such a long time."

"Not angry? Look carefully. Look at the way she twisted the shrimp heads. She's so cruel!"

After twisting forty shrimp heads, Qu Fanyi still didn't get any news from Chi Wei. The two white porcelain plates were already full. The crayfish were connected head to tail and coiled like petals. The red meat was tender and her stomach growled twice. She pursed her lips and picked up her phone to send a message to Dr. Chi: "Is it over?" After thinking about it, she felt that her tone seemed impatient, so she changed it to: "Well, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

A little bit of coquettish tone?

Finally, she deleted the line, hung up the phone, took a deep breath, stood up and looked at the waiter: "Hello, please pack it up."

When Chi Wei left the operating room, he remembered to check the time - it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. I thought it was a minor operation, but I found out halfway through that the problem was much more serious than I thought. In addition, some problems had occurred, so I have been busy until now. He changed out of his surgical gown, stretched his muscles, and explained the precautions after the operation to the patient's family. Only then did he have time to take a breath. The operating room was not far from the office. The nurse on duty poured wolfberry tea for improving eyesight into his thermos cup in advance. While he was drinking tea, a new nurse knocked on the door coquettishly: "Doctor Chi, you have been busy until now and haven't eaten yet? I just happen to be here..."

These words seemed to remind Chi Wei. He slapped his thigh suddenly, "It's over! I forgot about this!"

As he said this, he quickly picked up his phone. He thought he would be bombarded with messages, but unexpectedly, Qu Fanyi's dialog box was quiet. In an instant, uneasiness and guilt filled my heart - didn't she delete me?

He tremblingly clicked on Qu Fanyi's circle of friends. Fortunately, he was not blocked.

Thinking of this, he dialed the number immediately. The words of apology were on his lips, and the beeping in his ears was neither hurried nor slow. The nurse at the door was stunned and remembered a sentence: "By the way, Dr. Chi, someone just came to see you. I wonder if it's your friend or the patient's family member."

"Huh?" Chi Wei looked out the door while waiting for the call. A girl was sitting quietly on a plastic chair in the waiting area at the door of the office more than ten meters away. She was holding a layer of lunch boxes in her arms, and the lunch boxes were covered with a layer of heat-insulating aluminum foil bags. She was holding a mobile phone, which was buzzing in her hand. The call was connected--

"Hello?" A joyful and gentle voice sounded in my ears: "Are you finally done with the operation? Are you hungry? Guess where I am now."

"I..." Chi Wei started, his brain was confused, and he even forgot to explain: "I, I saw you. Turn around."

Qu Fanyi turned around quickly, her bright eyes full of surprise, and their eyes met--

Chi Wei's heart trembled at that moment.

Summer in Beijing comes quickly. But at the end of May, you can already wear short sleeves. Sheng Yiqing rode a shared bike to the company this morning. It was a rare Monday when she arrived early, but Qu Fanyi was still the only one at the workstation in the investment banking department.

At this moment, she was humming a song and filling the humidifier with water.

"Would you like to have breakfast together?" Sheng Yiqing invited.

This time, the two bought bagels and coffee. Qu Fanyi still took a photo immediately, opened her phone, and clicked the dialog box.

"Are you going to send a group message again?" Sheng Yiqing teased.

"No, not anymore in the future." She shook her head with a calm smile on her face, "I will only send it to one person in the future."

Sheng Yiqing keenly smelled the sour smell on her body, and guessed: "Is it that doctor?"

"Yeah." Qu Fanyi nodded and looked at Sheng Yiqing seriously, "I feel like I'm in a dream every day now. My ears are warm. The happiest thing is to talk to him and meet him. Sister Qing, do you know? He is really very, very good. He is the most perfect and most suitable candidate for a husband I have ever seen."

"Oh?" Sheng Yiqing smiled, "Let me guess - if it's a doctor, the income must not be too bad, the school will definitely He must be outstanding. If he is so good, he should be tall, right? "

Qu Fanyi nodded: "853." Then she became shy: "He wears glasses, is very gentle, and has a good temper. He is not fat. He is the type who can find time to play football. He also likes to watch movies. We all love science fiction movies."

"What about his family background?"

"My father is a soldier, and my mother is an executive of an airline company. Several uncles in my family are doctors at the 301 Hospital..."

"It seems that he is from a medical family." Sheng Yiqing nodded, "Has he bought a house?"

"He is a few years older than me. He should have two houses in Beijing, one flat and one small apartment." Qu Fanyi listed them all.

Even Sheng Yiqing felt jealous and pinched her face: "There are not many people with such good conditions around me, where did you find it?"

"Maybe he saved the Milky Way in his previous life!" The young girl's eyes flickered and she smiled, "He has a very good temper and is very gentle to me. I feel incredible every day now, you know! I feel like I'm dreaming! I often think of the scene when we first met! Sister Qing, can you?!"

"Recall the scene when you first met each other?" Sheng Yiqing stroked her hair, "It seems that I do think of it often--"

If I have to say, Sheng Yiqing and Chen Zhuan met for the first time at a wedding.

The newlyweds at the wedding were Chen Zhuan's buddies when he was in school-the famous good man and honest man Chi Wei in their class, and his goddess Lin Shan.
