Chapter 3.1 This man is so pure and unpretentious

The next day, Bai Duanduan wanted to go to ZhaoHui to pick up the case materials assigned to her by Lin Hui, but who knew that as soon as she had stepped out of the house, she would receive a phone call from Lin Hui.

“Duanduan, go to Cheng Yuan Electronics in Dongguan district, for a labor dispute, the workshop workers have surrounded the factory, you go and deal with it.”

Bai Duanduan frowned “Didn’t you send Du Xinyi to solve this case before? I have already made a good settlement plan, and the workers have accepted it. All that’s left is for her to sign the settlement agreement on the spot, why is the factory surrounded?”

Lin Hui did not answer Bai Duanduan’s question, but only ordered, “You go and negotiate with the workers, adjust the settlement plan if you need to, Du Xinyi is inexperienced, the workers are very aggressive, don’t let her get into trouble.”

Brief and concise, Lin Hui hung up the phone after issuing the order.

Bai Duanduan only felt that the evil fire raging in her heart was getting more and more intense, but even though she was gnashing her teeth, she had to put the big picture first. When she had finally resolved the labor dispute and returned to A City, it was already two days later.

She had a lot of things in her mind that she wanted to spit out, so she planned to meet up with Duan Yun and Xue Wen, and the three of them finally decided to have dinner at the newly opened hot-pot restaurant,Chen Ji.

In fact, it was not yet mealtime, but the entrance to Chen Ji has long been filled with people waiting for a seat. Bai Duanduan arrived earlier than Duan Yun and Xue Wen, she immediately took the number, then sat on the side and waited for her turn.

There was still some time before the meal, so Bai Duanduan started to check her mobile phone for messages, as she tended to miss replying to people’s messages when she was busy with a case. Fortunately, she didn’t this time, and after checking back and forth several times, there were none.

In the past, Bai Duanduan should have breathed a sigh of relief, but today she was a little lost, the man who caught her eyes in the bar asked for her number but did not contact her.

Was he too busy lately? Like herself, did he also go on a business trip? Or was he just too shy? Maybe he was not sure how to ask? Or did he lose the coaster with her cell phone number on it?

These speculations are not the result of Bai Duanduan’s narcissism. As Duan Yun said, she was very pretty, the kind of pretty that doesn’t lose to any celebrity at all. She was so bright that it’s offensive, just one look and you’ll be impressed by her unforgettable beauty. Ever since she was a child, there have been too many people asking for Bai Duanduan’s number, hitting on her, confessing their love, and even proposing marriage. But it was the first time that Bai Duanduan had ever met someone who asked for her number and claimed to contact her, but never heard from him again. Bai Duanduan really encountered this situation for the first time.

It was the first time that she has fallen in love with someone at first sight and has such a good feeling about them. Her heart was anxious for a while, and then she was depressed. Sitting alone, she had flashed a big drama through her mind. The A City was so big, can she still meet him? This was the first time her heart was touched, she didn’t want to just end up like this with no luck……

The heavens seem to have heard her prayers, just when Bai Duanduan was thinking about him, she saw the man.

Even though it was not the first time she had seen him, this time, the other man was just walking by quietly, and Bai Duanduan’s heart was already sending waves of shock, her heart was racing, and she could not calm down at all. She felt like an asteroid, and that man is a star that naturally has a fatal gravitational pull on their own.

The other man was wearing a navy blue suit, tall and long legs, with a cold face and a sexy, well-defined jawline.

This is exactly what I wished for! Bai Duanduan howled in her heart, such a man should be with me! He and I must be a match made in heaven! This man, I absolutely, absolutely have to get my hands on!

Since he is shy and he hasn’t contacted me, I’ll take the initiative! If he doesn’t chase me, then I’ll chase him!

I, Bai Duanduan, am determined to win!

Bai Duanduan was a man of action, and she did what she said she would do. She stood up, tidied up her appearance, and then naturally brushed up against the handsome man’s side as if she had passed by accident. The other man was obviously also there to dine at Chen Ji, and was now taking his number at the numbering machine.

Bai Duanduan showed a perfect smile and gently patted the other man on the shoulder “Hi, can I exchange numbers with you?”

She took the initiative to talk to him for the first time, her voice was calm, but inside she was nervous, and the waiting number she took from Chen Ji was clenched tightly in her hand.

Bai Duanduan planned to ask for the other party’s contact information. First, to give him a hint and encouragement that she had a good feeling about him, and that she would not be cold-faced as long as he took the initiative to contact her; secondly, in case the man still did not dare to contact her, then she could take the initiative with his number.

Bai Duanduan thought perfectly, and when she finished, she looked at the other party.

As expected, the man’s cold face showed a faint smile, as charming as the first day of snow.

“Thank you.”

What to thank for! Bai Duanduan thought sweetly, look at this shy man, it was her who took the initiative herself, but he thanked her for this, what a great cutie!

His voice was also as recognisable as his looks, nice and low, with a bit of gentle ebullience. Bai Duanduan felt that with this voice alone, she would fall in love with this man all over again.

She watched almost shyly as the other party took her Chen Ji tag number from her hand and gave her the number he had just taken.

Wait…… wait!

“No. 89! Chen Ji is calling you for dinner!”

Accompanied by Chen Ji’s announcement, the man looked down at the number in his hand that originally belonged to Bai Duanduan, then he looked up, pursed his lips and gave Bai Duanduan another very handsome smile “It’s exactly this number, thank you.”

After saying that, he didn’t wait for Bai Duanduan’s reaction, he just turned around and took the number into Chen Ji.

……

…………

………………

Bai Duanduan was completely restrained by this development, the other party was so natural with his action that she even thought this was the normal development. She forgot to chase after the other party and tug them to get her number back. The number she wanted to change was not this one!!!

“Duanduan!” Just at that moment, Duan Yun and Xue Wen finally arrived, the two of them panting and running over, “You’ve been here for so long, shouldn’t it be our turn to get our number?”

Bai Duanduan fought back the feeling of being hurt that made her want to vomit blood, and looked at the waiting number that had been changed to her hand –

No. 250……

Bai Duanduan felt that these three numbers were laughing at her, which was really a dark humour.

Even better, the number tag thoughtfully said that you would be ready to eat in 2 hours……

I can’t thank you enough……

________

Not to mention Bai Duanduan, Duan Yun and Xue Wen also apparently did not have the patience to wait for 2 hours for a meal, so the three of them had to choose another restaurant with fewer people and make do with it.

Even after eating five barbecue wings, Bai Duanduan still couldn’t let go of the scene, “Such a handsome man, why do you say he wouldn’t understand the amorous feelings? When a person of opposite sex ask him to exchange numbers, of course she means phone numbers!”

Duan Yun took a sip of juice and narrowed her eyes, “I don’t think it’s necessarily that hard to understand, he could also be a veteran who wants to capture and conquer!”

“What?”

“You said this man is very handsome, and graceful, and seems to be of good character, then ask yourself, such a good rare breed, isn’t there any woman after him? Is it true that he hasn’t been in a few relationships? So insensitive and unaffected? I suspect he is playing hard to get, deliberately asking for your number, giving you anticipation, teasing your heart up and down, but not contacting you, waiting to hook your three souls and six spirits, so that you take the initiative to give yourself away. This time you want to exchange  numbers but he still pretended to be an uninitiated sweet stupid fool who don’t know anything about this world, this is a fucking master ah!”

Xue Wen listened in awe, “It shouldn’t be so …… is just a relationship, you’re making it sound like fighting a war with Sun Tzu’s Art of War ……”

Duan Yun gave her a blank look, “What do you know? Love between a man and a woman is like war!”

Bai Duanduan also did not quite believe “But when he saw me just now, I felt that his emotions did not fluctuate much, as if he did not even remember who I was for a while ……”

“That’s why they say this is a master! You see, he does not follow the rules at all. He asked for the number not to contact you, you want to exchange the number, he gave you an equivalent number in exchange. He even forgot a beautiful female like you. You tell me, don’t these actions precisely draw your interest in him more and more? Think how this man is so pure and unpretentious, different from all those sultry b!tches out there?” Duan Yun said and knocked on the table, “Fake, all these are fake pretends!”

Xue Wen was obviously convinced by Duan Yun, she tugged on Bai Duanduan’s sleeve, “Duanduan, this kind of man sounds like a player good at seeking pleasure. Why don’t you just forget it, you’ve never been in love before. I don’t feel like you are a match for him.”

Unfortunately, this comment provoked Bai Duanduan’s desire to win “The word ‘no’ doesn’t exist in my vocabulary! I’m going to get this guy!”

Bai Duanduan thought for a moment, and said with great vigour, “If he’s laying a trap! Then I’ll do the same! Let’s see who can beat who! I’ll fight him to the end!”

After she finished, she called the waiter, “Give me five more chicken legs!”

Eat! Only when you’re full, can you have the strength to screw a man!
