âYou are really nice. You may not have cars or houses now, but youâll earn them someday. Youâre so handsome, thatâs your talent, and it will be easy for you to make money.â
Qin Haodong found what Liu Fangfang just said was a little bit twisted, but he couldnât find anything wrong at the moment. But he wasnât going to work this blind date out, now that the woman was satisfied with him, the only way to fail was to pick holes on her.
He asked, âDo you have any shortcomings?â
The girl blushed and said, âI surely have one. I donât know if you can accept it or not.â
Seeing the woman went so straightforward, Qin Haodong said, âWhat is it? Tell me.â
Liu Fangfangâs blushed more, and she whispered, âItâs nothing special. Iâm not into men.â
âWhat? What did you say?â Qin Haodong could barely believe what he had heard.
âI said Iâm not into men, do you mind?â Liu Fangfang asked.
âOf course I do!â Qin Haodong didnât give much hope on this blind date, but he still asked angrily, âWhy did you come to this date anyway if youâre not into men?â
âI donât want this, either, but I had no other options. My mother forced me to get married, and I canât tell her Iâm not into men. She arranged the date for me, I had no choice but to come.â
âIn that case, please leave and we donât have to go on.â
Qin Haodong said as he stood up and was about to leave. He had been sitting here for a while and now he had accomplished his task. He could finally give his answer for his grandma.
âWait a minute, donât worry.â Liu Fangfang looked at Qin Haodong eagerly and said, âActually, we can get married!â
âWhat are you talking about?â
For the second time Qin Haodong suspected what he had heard was wrong. The woman just said she wasnât into men, then why she said they could get married now?
âMy secret will come out sooner or later if I donât get married with a man, and my mother will keep arranging blind dates for me. I think youâre a nice guy, how about we get together?â
Before Qin Haodong was going to speak, Liu Fangfang said. âYou donât have to refuse me in such a hurry. I can help you get a lot of woman if you get married with me. I work in a beauty salon and know a lot of rich women. They love âfresh and juicy meatâ like you. You can play with different women every day, and you can earn money from that. Is there any other marriage that can be happier than this one?â
âWhat the hell? Can you be more ridiculous?â Qin Haodong finally understood what Liu Fangfang meant by âcapabilityâ. It turned out the woman wanted to raise him as a gigolo boy.
He finally lost it and took the cellphone out of his pocket. He dialed a number and said, âHello? Is that the madhouse? I got a woman here who had gone insane, please come and take her away.â
He had been irritated so much after the successive blind dates. He grabbed the cold coffee and drank all of them, only in that way could his broken heart felt better.
He did not leave in a hurry. He took out his phone and dialed Lin Momoâs number. After he told her all his tragic encounters. He asked expectantly, âMomo, when are you coming to save me? Please be hurry, or grandma will force me into another blind date. Iâll go crazy then.â
Lin Momo almost laughed out of herself on the other side of the phone. She said, âThree girlfriends in one day, isnât that what you want?â
Qin Haodong said in anger, âKeep laughing and Iâll spank you as soon as I go back.â
âOK, Iâll stop. Iâve already arrived at Wufeng County, but I have an important meeting to negotiate in the afternoon, and I wonât be available till this evening.â
âThatâs fast and great. Is Tang Tang with you? I miss her so much, we havenât seen each other for a whole day.â
Qin Haodong was telling the truth. He felt so empty during this day when the little fellow was missing, like part of his heart was missing.
âTang Tang was here with me. She said she missed you, too, last night and she wouldnât let go of the piece of jade you gave her. She said the present reminded her of you.â
Thinking of his cute daughter, Qin Haodong felt warm inside. He added, âDo you miss me?â
Lin Momo hesitated for a moment and hummed to the microphone gently. Her cold icy shell had been melting since she accepted Qin Haodong completely.
Qin Haodong was very happy because he knew it wasnât easy for the woman who used to be cold to express her feelings like this. They chatted for a while and he asked, âWhereâs my little girl, why isnât she speaking to me?â
Lin Momo said. âI have a negotiation right away. Tang Tang was hanging out with Sister An.â
âOK, then call me when you finish.â
Qin Haodong said and he hanged up the phone. Then he turned back and left the cafe.
Zuo Lanzhi walked to him with an expectant face when he walked out. She asked, âDid you find anyone of the three that suits you?â
âGrandma, they all turned their nose up at me.â
Qin Haodong didnât want to explain too much to the old lady, so he passed all the responsibility to the three.
That actually worked. The old lady said with dissatisfaction, âWhy on earth would they turn down my grandson? My grandson is too good for them! Donât worry, kid. Weâll have three more tomorrow. Weâll keep looking and will definitely find a good girl.â
Qin Haodong was so tired of this and he refused in a hurry, âGrandma, I already have a girlfriend and she just called me. Weâll go visit you this evening.â
âReally? Are you lying to me?â
âNo, Iâm not! Youâll know when you see her tonight. Iâm sure youâll be satisfied.â
âGreat, thatâs great.â The old lady was so happy that she could barely close her grinning mouth. She said, âSon, I need you to go shopping with me in the mall. Iâll see my granddaughter-in-law this evening, so I need to get dressed.â
Since the old lady was so interested, Qin Haodong would never go against her will. He went to a nearby shopping mall with Zuo Lanzhi. Before they entered the gate, he heard someone saying, âDong, is that you?â
Qin Haodong turned back to look, only to see a handsome young man standing behind him and looking at him happily. That was his old time friend and his classmate in junior high school, Ma Wenzhuo.
âPony, is that you?â
Qin Haodong was also happy to meet this best friend. He lost connection with lots of classmates after he went to college, but Ma Wenzhuo and he always stayed in touch.
âHello, grandma.â Ma Wenzhuo greeted Zuo Lanzhi and punched on Qin Haodongâs shoulder. Then he said, âWhen did you come back? Why didnât you call me? Are we still nice buddies?â
âI just arrived yesterday and Iâm going shopping with grandma. I was too busy too call you.â Qin Haodong said, âDrinks on me tonight, as my apology to you.â
Ma Wenzhuo said. âForget it. We had a classmate reunion tonight, why donât come over with us?â
âClassmate reunion? How come I was not aware?â Qin Haodong asked.
âIt was a temporary thing arranged by Monitor Geng Minghui. It was supposed to be a reunion of those who are still in Wufeng County. Nobody told you that because nobody knew you were back. Now that youâre here, why donât you come with us?â Ma Wenzhuo said, âRight, do you have a girlfriend? Take her if you have one. Our monitor told all of us to bring our partners and wives. I guess I will be the only single one there.â
Qin Haodong asked, âI thought youâve broken up with that Japanese slave for long enough. Youâre still not over with her, arenât you?â
Ma Wenzhuo and Zhang Xiaohui was a couple, and they were junior high classmates. They were about to get married not long ago, but Zhang Xiaohui suddenly left him for a Japanese man.
It was OK if she just left him for a Japanese, but that man was short and ugly, and he often hit her. She would still laugh after being hit, so all the classmates called her Japanese slave.
âDonât even mention that woman. I felt my heart was stuffed. Remember to come at six oâclock in the first VIP room of Murraya Hotel. Iâll see you there.â
âOK, Iâll definitely be there.â
Qin Haodong and his classmates hadnât seen each other for a long time, and he wanted to meet them, but he didnât promise that he would bring a girlfriend because he need to ask for Lin Momoâs opinion.
After Ma Wenzhuo left, Qin Haodong and Zuo Lanzhi went into the mall and started shopping. At the same time, something huge happened in the government of Jiangnan City. Li Changzhi, who used to be the secretary of the Committee for Discipline Inspection, was promoted to the mayor of Jiangnan City.
Li Changzhi had a high reputation in Jiangnan City. He was righteous and clear, and was the most competitive candidate among others.
In the afternoon, several people were sent by the supervisors to inspect the candidates, some of whom even tried to pick up on Li Changzhiâs healthy condition. Nobody expected that his leg which had been injured for many years, was suddenly cured. Now he couldnât be healthier. This made him the perfect candidate, and the system announced him the acting mayor in the afternoon.
In the magistrateâs office of Wufeng County, Zhao Yang was frowning because of the bad influence Fu Haikun brought to the county. He might have nothing to do with it, but he shared the responsibility as the magistrate in charge.
The key point is that the case was under the supervision of Li Changzhi. He was now the mayor, althought he was just an acting major, but everybody knew it was just a matter of time that he would he the real one.
He left a bad impression on the new mayor as soon as he took the office. That was surely a bad thing. He cursed all Fu Haikunâs family and his ancestors, but that wouldnât make any difference.
âNo, I have to change my figure in the majorâs mind, or my career will come to an end.â
Zhao Yang kept pacing around in the office, thinking about how he could change Li Changzhiâs impression of him. Suddenly he was lightened up when he thought of the young man respected by both Shi Kuohai and Li Changzhi.
After all, Fu Haikunâs case was brought out by Qin Haodong, and he could tell the young man had special connection with Shi Kuohai and Li Changzhi. Qin Haodongâs words worked better than any other things.
Thinking of that, he found Qin Haodongâs number and dialed.
Qin Haodongâs phone rang as he was going to get in the mall. He check the screen and found it was a strange number.
He pressed the answer button and heard the polite voice, âHello, Mr. Qin, this is Zhao Yang.â
Qin Haodong hesitated for a second and he realized it was Magistrate Zhao. He said, âHello, Magistrate Zhao.â
âHereâs the thing. I want to buy you a dinner tonight, do you have time?â
âMagistrate Zhao, anything wrong?â

Qin Haodong was clear that Zhao Yang would never buy him a dinner for no reason as the magistrate of the county.
Zhao Yang said, âI am responsible for the unpleasant things youâve encountered here because I am the local magistrate. So I want to buy you an apologizing dinner. Please donât turn me down.â
Qin Haodong thought about it. Most of his family would live in Wufeng County in the future. So it wouldnât harm if he got along well with the county magistrate, so he said, âThatâs very thoughtful of you, Magistrate Zhao. But I have something to do tonight, how about eight oâclock tonight?â
âThatâs fine, thatâs fine! Then see you at the Murraya Hotel at eight oâclock tonight, Iâll send someone to fetch you. Now Iâll leave you alone so you can do your own work.â
