Chapter 3 (2/2)

Lu Chengyu left Huading Headquarters and felt a little unexpected. How can a company like Huading hire people directly in an interview?

Looking at Hua Ding International's glimmering signboard shower with sunlight, no matter what company, as long as the name is added with the word “international”, it will look like a bull's fork, not to mention the name of Huading, China's Ding [6], which is really powerful.

Turning around the corner, he saw a lottery betting station. He stops walking and reminisces the day when he fails his job interview. While he went to search for a job everywhere, he got lucky and draw a prizewinning ticket in a lottery but he can't remember the winning number is for sports lottery or lucky lottery.

In the end, Lu Chengyu bought four note body lottery [7] and two-color ball for luck lottery [8]. It has been 8-9 years ago when we won this lottery, many of his memories have long been blurred, but now he's just trying his luck.

Anyway, the total amount of eight lottery tickets is 16 yuan, and the waste not as bad as the buddy he met last night.

After putting the tickets in his wallet, Lu Chengyu found an antique tea house and sat down. He ordered a cup of bamboo leaf green [9]. He listened to the quiet Guqin music. Through the second floor window, he watched the people coming and going downstairs. He slowly brings out his mobile phone and gracefully read the online novel that he had not finished last night.

(T/N: Oh nooo, when I thought I'm translating modern novel……..there's trap everywhere ∠(ﾟДﾟ)/ Below is the plot of the novel MC's reading, nothing to do with this novel, so it's okay not to understand it, but if you understand it, write in the comment since I am sooo bad in translating Wuxia or Xiaxia novels)

The protagonist should be on the verge to move forward to the early period of Yuan Dynasty. But why hasn't his girlfriend appear yet, but it's was his teacher who brushes his existence everywhere (don't ask me why..I'm gonna put the real description from novel below [10])

But then, this novel is magnificent in portraying atmosphere. Whether there is a girlfriend or not is just icing on the cake. The author is very good at writing, and the description of the protagonist has made up for all the deficiencies.

It was wonderful to see from where he sat, then he heard a girl's slightly unexpected voice, “What a coincidence.” The beautiful female voice makes him to quickly pull out the bookmarks, put them to the novel, then smile and look up, “Is it you?” He didn't expect to meet the girl he interviewed with before here, it's a coincidence.

Chengyu gets up and goes to the other side of the table. He gently moved the carved chair back, whispered, “I didn't expect to meet you here. It's too fateful. Let's have a drink together, please sit down.”

Zhang Jiayu hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the other party had dragged the chair away, she laughed and thanked him. She sat down on the chair and looked at the tea list handed over by Lu Chengyu. “I don't know much about tea. I really don't know what kind of tea to drink.”

After listening to her, Lu Chengyu knew that this was a girl with a straightforward personality. He laughed and said, “Girls drink rose tea to invigorate their blood and improve their looks. The taste is okay. Why don't you try it?”

Zhang Jiayu did not pretend to be an expert. She nodded directly. Originally, because she was hired by Huading, she came to the tea restaurant around here so that she could have a good relations.h.i.+p with her future colleagues. She didn't expect to meet the person who had just been interviewed.

“My name is Lu Chengyu. I will work in Huading in the future. Miss, how should I call you? I wonder if we will have the chance to be colleagues in the future?” Lu Chengyu ordered some cakes with Chinese tea. Looking at the girl's expression, the interview results should be very satisfactory.

“Don't call me Miss. My name is Zhang Jiayu. We both have “Yu” in our names. That's fate. You can call me Xiaoyu (Little Yu).” Zhang Jiayu smiled brightly, but she declining Lu Chengyu's respecting att.i.tude towards her, “We'll be colleagues in the future.”

Lu Chengyu also smiled and spoke with less politeness and more casualness, which was enough for the other party to perceive his intimacy. “In that case, you may call me Dayu (Big Yu). In the future, if you need to repair a computer or move something big, just call me,” said Chengyu to Zhang Jiayu. As for whether they will work in the same place in the future, it's not important. It's important to let each other know that he has the intention to help her.

Sure enough, because of his att.i.tude, Zhang Jiayu's words and deeds have become a lot of casual, and when the tea is almost finished and after eating the cake, they have exchanged mobile phone numbers, added WeChat, and even follow each other Weibo.

After they separate, Lu Chengyu has been marked with a big red tick by Zhang Jiayu in her heart.
