Chapter 19: Date
Needless to say, Ye Qian’s luck truly wasn’t too bad. It was likely the case that young people did not like being security officers, thinking that the job lacked future prospects and sufficient wages. The Tian Ya Conglomerate recruitment notice had been posted for a long time yet still n.o.body could be hired. Therefore, when Ye Qian came to be interviewed, the security chief wantonly asked a few questions and soon afterwards gave Ye Qian the job. He told Ye Qian to come back tomorrow with a duplicate of his identification card and three two inch photos so he could register and start work.
Ye Qian appeared to be shedding tears of grat.i.tude. He incessantly tried to give security chief Zheng Xin a cigarette, saying “In the future I will keep an eye on things properly” and other similar things. Seeing Ye Qian being this sensible, Zheng Xin nodded with satisfaction. He a.s.sumed an authoritative air and told Ye Qian to report to him on time tomorrow morning.
With a real job, Lao Die wouldn’t have to worry anymore. After Ye Qian repeatedly expressed his grat.i.tude, he turned around and left. Although Ye Qian was not entirely interested in this security chief that was going to be his future direct superior, that person had not wronged him in any way.
He aimlessly wandered around the streets until it was almost six o'clock, thinking of his date with Lin Rou Rou, Ye Qian hurriedly drove back.
When he arrived at the gate of the hospital he saw that Lin Rou Rou was already there, standing by the entrance in a pure white dress. She looked like a fairy that fell to earth. He parked the car in front of Lin Rou Rou and got out, eyes sweeping over her get-up. He said with a slight smile, “You are very beautiful today.”
“Thank you!” Lin Rou Rou tenderly said. Any woman would wish that their careful styling could noticed and admired by their beloved. Lin Rou Rou naturally was not an exception to this. After hearing the compliment of Ye Qian, she was endlessly happy.
Ye Qian opened the door of the car, then made a very gentlemanly action of inviting her in. He said: “ Beautiful Miss, would you possibly please share a dinner with me?”
Lin Rou Rou gave him a sweet smile in reply and went inside the car.
While they were traveling along the road, Lin Rou Rou asked with curiosity: “This is your car?”
Ye Qian shook his head, smiled faintly, then said: “No, It’s my friends. Just borrowing for a few days. Where are we going to eat?”
Lin Rou Rou was not the type to favor the rich and disdain the poor. She was not a vain girl that desired to be admired; therefore, she did not have a large reaction to Ye Qian saying it wasn’t his car. In her eyes, the important part was Ye Qian himself, not whether he had a car or whether he had money. “ I know this Western restaurant, the steak isn’t too bad.” Lin Rou Rou said.
The restaurant was called Lang Man. Inside the decor was of the style of the middle ages. From the outside it seemed that there was truly a romantic atmosphere. Ye Qian had eaten a lot of western food before, but he still found Chinese food more comforting. It wasn’t at all because he was someone who was extremely nationalistic, rather it was because he felt eating Western food was awkward and restricting. Anywhere in China there were stalls to eat. Those types of meals that one could eat on a whim made him comfortable. However since Lin Rou Rou wanted this, Ye Qian naturally could not refuse her.
After getting out of the car, Ye Qian stood to the side to open the car door for Lin Rou Rou. Lin Rou Rou’s hands were placed at the crook of Ye Qian’s arm as they walked over to the restaurant. Outside the door, a waiter politely asked: “May I ask Mister, for how many?”
“For two!” Ye Qian answered.
