"I think it's okay."

"I'm sorry, we're really not a good match."

After a conversation, Chen Hao, who was watching the show, was completely bewildered.

"What do they mean by this? They're clearly speaking Chinese, but they're putting it all together. I don't really understand it," Chen Hao said.

"If you don't feel anything, it's because you're poor; if it's not right for you, it's because you're ugly," Lin Yi explained.

"What the hell... can it be like this?" Chen Hao stood there, speechless.

Chen Hao followed her, and heard the girl say, "Feelings can be cultivated."

Chen Hao looked at his translator.

Lin Yi said, "He's rich, but a bit ugly."

Chen Hao nodded. Damn, today has really broadened his horizons.

After playing for a while, Chen Hao felt much better.

Just then, the phone rang.

After Chen Hao answered the call, he said, "Brother, I really have to go back. Something's come up at home."

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead. I'll play a little longer. You know what, it's really fun to see a guy or a girl get rejected," Lin Yi said.

"Are you a devil?" Chen Hao looked at him speechlessly.

However, Chen Hao had to leave because of other matters.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yi played by himself.

Lin Yi was surprised to see someone else while looking around.

"Why is Wang Manni here for a blind date?" Lin Yi was surprised.

……

When Wang Manni woke up, she was surprised to find that it was already eleven o'clock.

Oh no, I overslept.

She had planned to go to the matchmaking corner this morning, but she was too tired and ended up sleeping until now.

Is it already midday?

going or not?

Driven by curiosity, Wang Manni decided to go and take a look anyway.

Wang Manni dressed herself up beautifully, grabbed her bag, and hailed a taxi.

However, not long after she arrived, Wang Manni suffered a series of setbacks.

"Young lady, my son is a PhD. What's your degree?" an older woman asked.

“I have an undergraduate degree,” Wang Manni said truthfully.

"There are too many undergraduates, it's hard to find a job. Are you from Shanghai?" The older woman said with obvious disdain.

“No, they’re from out of town,” Wang Manni said.

"Oh, she's a local from Shanghai," the woman said, her face full of disdain.

"You're alright looking, but everything else about you is lacking. You're not good enough for my son," the woman said, turning and leaving.

“I…” Wang Manni stood there, stunned.

Wang Manni went on several blind dates and found that the men who were from Shanghai and whose sons were doing well all wanted their partners to be from Shanghai and have a high level of education.

As for people, being beautiful is important, but in their eyes, compared to the other two, it doesn't matter at all.

This outcome was completely different from what Wang Manni had expected.

To be precise, they are vastly different.

She thought that with her looks and his eloquence, she would surely become the focus of everyone's attention.

Little did she know, reality slapped her hard in the face.

"Hmph, you look down on me? I look down on you too."

"If you weren't born in Shanghai, would you even be able to afford a house?" Wang Manni muttered to herself.

Just as she was feeling down, Wang Manni turned around and suddenly saw someone.

Upon seeing the other person, Wang Manni was completely stunned.

It was actually Lin Yi.

Just a few days ago, she was the one who accompanied Zhu Suosuo to buy luxury goods. It was precisely because she was spurred on by them that she decided to come to the matchmaking corner.

Who knew that I would feel even more uncomfortable after arriving?

I don't know how long he's been sitting there, or if he's even seen it.

It's so embarrassing.

Wang Manni walked over and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"You must be Wang Manni. You're too kind. Just call me Lin Yi," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Wang Manni smiled and asked, "You're here too?"

"Yes, I came with a friend, but he suddenly had to leave, so I just wandered around a bit," Lin Yi said.

"Then I just..."

Lin Yi comforted him, "Sigh, some people in Shanghai are like that, thinking they're superior. I'm from Shanghai too, and I'm not like that."

"You encountered those guys like Lu Lin from the backup skirt group 8 (9964) and 4 (4), which is a bit strange."

He did see it.

However, she also deeply agreed with what Lin Yi said.

What kind of person is he? Does not being from Shanghai mean he's not fit for blind dates?

"It's nothing, I just came to take a look," Wang Manni said with a smile.

"Young man, you're so handsome, how about I introduce you to a girlfriend? Do you own a house?" an older woman said as she approached.

"Yes, more than a hundred sets," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"And he really knows how to brag."

The woman got angry and turned away.

Lin Yi smiled.

Sigh, these days, nobody believes him when he tells the truth?

Wang Manni laughed and said, "Thank you for your help the other day. How about I treat you to dinner?"

"I'm fine with having a meal, but no need for thanks," Lin Yi said.

Lunch is sorted out.

Lunch is sorted out.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I was just wondering what to eat later, and I didn't expect you to treat me. Thank you so much."

"I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could have completed my tasks this month," Wang Manni said with a smile.

Lin Yi asked, "What? Is it that difficult for you to sell luxury goods?"

"Yes, due to the overall economic environment, luxury goods have been greatly impacted," Wang Manni said.

The broader context, Wang Manni is referring to, is the 08 global financial crisis.

"That's indeed quite difficult," Lin Yi nodded and said.

Wang Manni looked at Lin Yi and was surprised that Lin Yi, who was a wealthy man, was so easy to get along with.

Unlike the men she met on blind dates, who all looked down on her and treated her with contempt.

Lin Yi asked, "Do you have a car?"

"No." Wang Manni shook her head.

“Then I’ll ride in my car,” Lin Yi said.

“Okay.” Wang Manni nodded.

Lin Yi walked in front, with Wang Manni following behind him.

Looking at Lin Yi's tall and slender figure, Wang Manni couldn't help but feel a little envious of Zhu Suosuo.

Zhu Suosuo is beautiful, and her boyfriend is handsome.

Sigh, I wonder where her boyfriend is now?

Once you leave the matchmaking corner, you'll see cars.

Lin Yi got into a Ferrari, and coincidentally, Wang Manni recognized the model of that car.

This car is a Ferrari 488, with a price of around 500 million yuan.

Wang Manni was stunned when she saw it.

If buying luxury goods worth 500,000 yuan already surprised Wang Manni.

Lin Yi driving a five-million-dollar car left her somewhat bewildered.

Lin Yi got into the car first, and after waiting for a while, he found Wang Manni still standing there dumbfounded.

Lin Yi said, "Get in the car."

"Is this your car?" Wang Manni asked instinctively.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Yi said.

"No, no," Wang Manni quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to drive such a nice car."
