Volume 1 Rise 68 Informal Blind Date (Ask for Collection, Monthly Pass)
"Wu Fan, you go out, it will stimulate her even more here. Boss Liang pushed Wu Fan to the door and said to give Ah Ting a little more time, she was emotional now, and when she calmed down, she would talk slowly.
After wandering the streets aimlessly for a while, Wu Fan went to a restaurant for lunch and took a taxi to the processing factory of Youfu Jewelry. Master Mao said on the phone that he was in the processing factory, and Wu Fan's jade stone eye, which was made into a gold-inlaid jade ring, had been completed.
In the processing factory, Master Mao has a special studio, and the Bogu shelves are full of various jadeite craft products carved and made by him, which are dazzling and beautiful.
Wu Fan saw that on the golden dragon body ring, after the jade stone eye was polished again, it was even more round and warm, crystal clear, inlaid on the dragon's head, exuding a green luster, dazzling, and breathtaking.
"It's so beautiful, you can make it an heirloom!" Wu Fan praised sincerely.
"Boss Wu, the inlay of the ring and jadeite has a place that can be adjusted to be loose or tight, so don't worry about not being able to wear it. Master Mao said.
"Oh, that's even better!" Wu Fan said, and immediately put the jade ring on the middle finger of his left hand, no need to adjust it at all, just right.
A diamond ring, a jade ring, side by side, one bright and dazzling, the other full of green, indescribable wealth.
"In my opinion, Boss Wu is wearing two rings, which is a little too cheesy, and this dragon ball jade ring is more suitable for ladies to wear. Master Mao smiled slightly.
"Hehe, we're just a layman, it's good to be cheesy. Master Mao's name is Dragon Ball, and I like that name. Wu Fan shook his left hand triumphantly, turned around and walked to the workbench.
On the workbench, there is a piece of imperial green jadeite, supported by a round rosewood plate below, which is the one that Wu Fan opened yesterday, weighing seven or eight catties. Now it has not been polished and polished, but it is just held up with a wooden plate, and it is already brilliant, beautiful and lovely.
There were several sketches on the stage, which attracted Wu Fan's attention, because the shape of the figure was similar to the imperial green jadeite.
"I conceived several carving schemes, the meaning is quite good, but I am not satisfied, hey, I can only say that this piece of imperial green jadeite is too good, I can't bear to destroy its original appearance. ”
Master Mao sighed, and took out a drawing to explain to Wu Fan the intention of such a design and such an idea.
Yesterday, a total of eleven pieces of jade and jade were opened, and at this time there were ten pieces, all of which were packed in a cardboard box with foam underneath and placed on the workbench. Wu Fan inspected them one by one, and a violet was partially processed and carved, and it seemed that it was ready to be carved into a pendant.
"Boss Wu sit, I was carving this violet just now, if it is paired with a gold necklace and the lady wears it around her neck, it will be beautiful. Master Mao sat down on the chair, picked up the knife, and continued to carve.
"It's good to be a woman, and they look good when they wear beautiful jadeite. ”
Wu Fan sighed, sat down on the side, and admired Master Mao's skillful carving of jadeite with interest.
Seeing that it was still early, Wu Fan was in Master Mao's studio and spent the afternoon.
At five o'clock, Wu Fan and Master Mao said goodbye and took a taxi to Nanhai Fishing Village, a famous seafood restaurant, located in the Yinhe District in the direction of Luogang.
Wu Fan will naturally not forget the date of a beautiful woman, not to mention, Fengyue Baojian has already helped him untie the knot in his heart, as a cultivator, how can he be bound by the stereotypes and bad habits of the world. Besides, the purpose of picking up a girl is to improve the realm in the future and survive the catastrophe smoothly, otherwise it will disappear and your life will fall, wouldn't it be bad.
Cheng Qiuyun was careful and arranged the date location in this place to facilitate her home.
Wu Fan got out of the car and walked into the lobby of Nanhai Fishing Village, this place is very large, on both sides of the lobby on the first floor, there are layers of glass cabinets, which are all kinds of swimming seafood, competing for beauty.
Cheng Qiuyun said that the room number box was on the second floor, and Wu Fan suddenly had a hunch that she should not be dating herself, could it be to introduce business? Because two people booked a large box, it was too solemn and formal.
The waitress led Wu Fan up to the second floor, opened a door, and let Wu Fan in.
In the huge box, there were several people sitting at the big round table, a middle-aged man, two middle-aged women, and an old man with half-white hair. When Wu Fan saw it, he thought he had entered the wrong room and quickly withdrew.
"Wu Fan, where are you still dying, come in. There was a young girl at the round table, Wu Fan didn't see it, but at this time she shouted and asked Wu Fan to go in.
"Qiu, Cheng Bo, it turned out to be you!" Wu Fan heard a familiar voice, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Cheng Qiuyun, and he didn't go to the wrong room.
"Come and sit here, I thought you couldn't find a place, and I wanted to call you again. ”
Cheng Qiuyun looked joyful, stood up with a smile, pulled out a chair next to her, and asked Wu Fan to take a seat. Wu Fan looked at a few strangers, he couldn't help but feel a little restrained, at a loss, and looked at Cheng Qiuyun after sitting down.
"He's Wu Fan, I just told you. Wu Fan, this is my father, this is my mother. ”
Cheng Qiuyun stretched out her hand and pointed to the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman opposite. The middle-aged man has slightly high cheekbones, short hair, and a well-dressed shirt and trousers, and is polite and shrewd, while the middle-aged woman is slightly rich, with her hair coiled up, and wears a black dress with white flowers on the side, and sharp eyebrows.
"Uncle, aunt is good!" Wu Fan quickly stood up and saluted. I really didn't want Cheng Qiuyun to ask me to come, it was to see her parents, Wu Fan was caught off guard, and secretly wondered in his heart, Cheng Qiuyun might be deliberately tricky.
Cheng Qiuyun's father's name is Cheng Guangming, a middle school teacher, and her mother's name is Gao Yinfeng, who is the school's accountant, and they have not yet retired.
"This is Aunt Yuan, and this is my doctoral supervisor, Professor Xi. ”
Cheng Qiuyun introduced another middle-aged woman wearing a red cheongsam with a graceful bearing, and an elegant old man with half-white hair.
"Aunt Yuan is good, Professor Xi is good. Wu Fan smiled on his face and continued to greet him.
Aunt Yuan glanced at Wu Fan suspiciously, then looked at Cheng Qiuyun and said, "Ah Yun, you said that you like this young man, he is the first time to meet your parents, why did he come empty-handed?"
When Cheng Guangming and Gao Yinfeng heard this, they looked away from Wu Fan, and also looked at Cheng Qiuyun suspiciously, shaking their heads slightly, feeling that their daughter was very unreliable.
"Aunt Yuan, Mom, Dad, I didn't tell Wu Fan that you were also there, so he didn't bring gifts. You are also really, I moved my doctoral supervisor, Professor Xi, to his old man's house, and he always asked me to go on a blind date, and I am not an older leftover girl. ”
After Cheng Qiuyun sat down, she pursed her lips and looked at her parents dissatisfied.
"Your parents are nervous about your marriage, Qiu Yun, I remember that you went to college at the age of sixteen, and you should be twenty-four years old this year, not too old, but you will soon become a leftover girl. Professor Xi is over 60 years old and in good spirits, smiling and quipping.
"That is, Ah Yun has been a scholar since she was a child, but she doesn't understand society, and she is easy to be deceived even if she is patting and procrastinating. Aunt Yuan said.
"You went to college at the age of sixteen?" Wu Fan only found out today, and looked at Cheng Qiuyun in surprise, it turned out that she looked a little old, but she was actually the same age as herself, and she might be a few months younger than herself, because the month she was born was in the first year.
"Yes, you think that after two years of studying for a doctorate, I must be much older than you!"
Cheng Qiuyun smiled slyly, her delicate and beautiful face with a hint of ruddy, bright and moving, this is the change that she unconsciously occurred after meeting Wu Fan.
"Mom and Dad didn't arrange a blind date for you this time, it's your Aunt Yuan's son Arnold, who came back from the United States before the Mid-Autumn Festival and wants to see you. Gao Yinfeng said in a strange tone. Her daughter always breaks her heart, and the marriage event has not yet been announced, and she will become a leftover girl in two years, which makes people anxious.
"Ah Yun, do you remember, Xu Nuo is three years older than you, he played with you when he was a child, and he was bullied and fought with people for you! Professor Xi, am I right?"
Aunt Yuan is kind and kind, talking and laughing, but sometimes she casually glances at Wu Fan, and her eyes reveal disdain.
"I have seen Xu Nuo's child, tall and handsome, and he also graduated from our school and went to the United States to study for a doctorate. Professor Xi replied lightly. Lingnan University, where he is located, is the first university in Lingnan, and is a little famous in the world.
Cheng Guangming took a sip of tea, looked at Professor Xi with reverence and said, "Professor Xi, I heard that you studied for a doctorate in Germany when you were young, and then traveled to Europe and the United States to study. Having gone abroad, staying abroad, and drinking foreign ink, people's temperaments are different. ”
Wu Fan listened to their conversation and felt bored, people's topics were high-end and high-grade, and he couldn't interject, and it was inconvenient for him to interject. Taking out a cigarette from the space ring, Wu Fan took out one, lit a fire and smoked it, and casually put the cigarette case and lighter on the table.
It seems that everyone here doesn't smoke, so Wu Fan doesn't send cigarettes, besides, smoking is harmful to health, and you can't send it casually, otherwise you will be despised.
Gao Yinfeng saw Wu Fan smoking by himself, and was obviously stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy. She scolded her daughter Cheng Qiuyun in her heart, she is smart in reading, her brain is good, and she turns fast, how can she be so stupid and stupid in looking at people, without eyes.
This young man is not only sloppy, but also not polite, even because he doesn't know that he is here to see Ah Yun's parents, but he wears a T-shirt and big pants on weekdays, and wears slippers, without a little image, such a person is simply from the garbage heap, and no one will take a second look.
It's a shame that the girl still treats him as a baby, and mentioned it a few times at the dinner table, saying how good he is and how he knows how to repair chips. No matter how powerful she is, she is still a repairman, and her daughter is stupid to study for a doctorate.
Gao Yinfeng touched Cheng Guangming with his elbow and secretly signaled him to pay attention to Wu Fan.
Cheng Guangming had already seen all this, but he was quiet, his opinion on Wu Fan's dress was the same as that of his wife. People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, and the customs and habits here in Lingnan are indeed more casual, but they are not as casual as Wu Fan.
When he was young, Cheng Guangming was studying at a university in Jianghai City, where it used to be a ten-mile foreign market, and ordinary people paid attention to dressing up, even if they ate pickles for three meals a day, they would definitely wear suits and leather shoes when they went out.
In addition, Cheng Guangming accepted the theory that a woman wears heavy makeup out of respect for others, and a man pays attention to appearance, and the same is true.
Daughter Cheng Qiuyun made friends carelessly, it seems that when she goes back tonight, she needs to educate herself.
"Wu Fan, you work in a computer repair shop, right? Qiu Yun's leader, Li Lei and Director Li of the Ninth Institute of Electronics, I met him once, and he talked about you, saying that you can not only repair chips, but also memorize and draw integrated circuit diagrams. ”
Professor Xi saw that Wu Fan had been silent for a long time, so he deliberately talked to him.
"It's a trivial matter, and Director Li is making a fuss. Wu Fan smiled and said, he wanted to play cigarette ash, but unfortunately Gwangju has banned smoking in public places such as restaurants, and restaurants do not provide ashtrays, and if they are found to be provided with ashtrays, they will be fined. Wu Fan had no choice but to play on the plate, and he also poured a little tea into the plate to prevent the ashes from flying.
Aunt Yuan was talking into the mobile phone, "Traffic jam, right? Arnold, it doesn't matter, it's strange that there is no traffic jam in Gwangju at this time, we are all waiting for you, don't worry." ”
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Yuan immediately looked at Wu Fan and asked, "Your name is Wu Fan, which university did you graduate from and did you have a master's degree?"
"Auntie, I graduated from Gwangju Institute of Information Engineering last year, a private university, and I came out with a bachelor's degree. Wu Fan has been despised many times and has not entered the university, but now he has immunity and responded generously.
Aunt Yuan glanced at Cheng Guangming and his wife meaningfully, and her eyes seemed to say, look, what kind of pheasant university is this, it is in Gwangju, and few people have heard of this university.
