“The more people there are, the better. That means that you have a higher chance of meeting the one you like. Shixin, don’t you feel like an emperor? Picking a suitable woman you fancy amongst many others.”
“No, I just feel like a eunuch getting sliced up by others.”
“You can’t say that just because you look like one. Shixin, that’s not right. You’re the one choosing others, how is that akin to getting sliced up by others?”
“To me, it’s akin to the torturous feeling of being sliced up by others,” Fan Shixin said, expressing his distaste toward matchmaking. “Those who attend matchmaking sessions do so because they can’t find a partner. I don’t want to admit that.”
“But isn’t that the truth?”
Fan Shixin darted a glance at him. “Young Sir, can you not add salt to my wound?”
The corner of Jin Qingyan’s lips curled into a smirk. “Alright. I’ll help you to check their standards. I won’t let those who are ugly or don’t meet your requirements meet you.”
When Jin Qingyan reached the company, his secretary instantly had his back straightened and greeted upon seeing him, “Good morning, CEO Jin.”
“Yes, good morning. There’s something I need you to do.” Jin Qingyan pointed at Fan Shixin beside him and went on, “Get someone to create a matchmaking page and upload his information on it as per his request.”
His secretary was astonished. “Chief Fan needs to go matchmaking?”
Fan Shixin rubbed his nose and answered patronizingly with a hollow laugh, “Yes.”
“Alright, I get it.”
“Pick out the girls that fulfill Shixin’s requirements.”
“Okay.”
Jin Qingyan entered his office straight away while Fan Shixin sat beside the secretary, telling him his requirements.
“Her height must be between 155 and 170 cm. She doesn’t have to look absolutely pretty, just being pleasant-looking will do.”
“Chief, do you have any requirements about their qualifications?”
“They should have completed high school.”
The secretary was alarmed. “Chief, shouldn’t you find someone who completed university at the very least?”
“I’m not recruiting someone for a job anyway, their qualification doesn’t matter to me. The most important thing is whether they capture my eye and if we have sparks between us.”
The secretary typed his requirements on his computer and replied, “Are there any more?”
“If we intend to get married, we’ll have to prepare a premarital agreement. That’ll be good for us both.”
The secretary agreed with him on this point. “This one’s good. Some things need to be stated clearly before marriage. Chief, are there any more requirements? Such as a virgin who has a clean personal life?”
“Yeah. Add that one as well.” Fan Shixin felt that having a clean personal life was a reasonable point. Since he himself had not touched a woman before, it wasn’t too much for him to request this from the other party, right?
“Go on, Chief.”
“That’s all.”
“That’s all?” The secretary’s eyes widened. “But these are merely just a few requirements. Don’t you want to add a few more? For instance, requirements on their character?”
“There’s no need. Those who can fulfill these few requirements are already extremely rare. There are so many girls in this society who don’t cherish themselves, isn’t that right?”
“Right. I’ll just put up these few requirements first, then.”
Hearing the clicking sound of high heels approaching, the two raised their heads instantly. Upon seeing who it was, Fan Shixin stood up and remarked, “Ms. Yu, why are you here?”
“It’s because I have something important to find you about, of course,” Yu Yiwei said in a meaningful manner, but her words could not be any more obvious. She was here to look for Jin Qingyan.
“You could have called me,” Fan Shixin said as he headed out. “Let’s go downstairs and talk in the elevator.”
Yu Yiwei nodded and entered the lift with him.
When the lift doors closed, Fan Shixin shifted his gaze to her. “Who permitted you to come to our company directly?”
“Yesterday, I wasn’t in the neighborhood. Why didn’t you inform me that Mr. Jin was back? If I didn’t come here today, would all of you have forgotten about my presence? I’m a doctor. Since all of you slight me like this, isn’t it better if I just leave?”
“Ms. Yu, you’ve misunderstood. Young Sir had just come back, and he only came to the company to take a look. He’ll return to Wei Ni Estate later.”
Hearing his words, Yu Yiwei replied coldly, “Got it.”
When the lift doors sounded, she went out while Fan Shixin remained inside and pressed the button to go back upstairs.
....
When a matchmaking page appeared on the Jin Corporation’s official website, it became a well-deserving report on the news.
The reason was that this was something that had never happened before, especially to a huge company like the Jin Corporation, which had multiple subsidiary companies under it internationally.
News of this caused a huge commotion in the news, gaining the attention of many single, unmarried women.
Fan Shixin, a suave and handsome-looking man with a height of 1.82 meters, earning an annual salary of a few dozen thousands of dollars. He had a house and car and was Jin Qingyan’s right-hand man. Just these few pieces of personal information were enough to make many people tempted.
Very soon after the webpage was put up, the number of people who signed up with their personal information and picture had already reached thirty thousand, and this number continued to rise in a steady stream.
Other than their picture being exposed on the webpage, their personal information could only be viewed by those operating the webpage to protect their personal privacy.
Other than the overwhelming number of people who signed up, there was also a considerable number of people watching on.
Fang Erlan was one of them.
She lay down on the sofa, holding onto her phone with both hands as she continued to scroll through the pictures of the participants who signed up.
With one leg crossed on the higher end of the sofa, she was in a completely comfortable and lazy state.
Just when she was immersed in looking at the pictures, the door opened with a loud, crisp sound. Xiao Chenyang was back.
“Get changed, I’m bringing you somewhere later.”
“Where?” Fang Erlan asked.
“The museum.”
Fang Erlan sat upright and stared straight at him, answering firmly, “I’m not going.”
“Why not?”
“No means no.” Just the mere thought of the museum made her enraged. Ever since she went to the museum previously, she’d had that same dream for a few nights consecutively and then met a lunatic like him. If she went there another time, something spooky might happen to her again.
Or, perhaps, her birth characters were just too weak, making her so unlucky that she always had to meet with such unfortunate things.
“You have to go.” His tone was resolute, with completely no room for doubt.
“What is in there that I absolutely have to do? No, I’m not going. I already said no.”
He approached her and darted a glance at her phone screen. “What are you looking at?”
“Beautiful ladies,” she answered with a grin. “The Jin Corporation’s official website has a new webpage specifically made for Mr. Jin’s right-hand man, Chief Fan Shixin, to find a partner. There are already tens of thousands of people who have signed up. The webpage is full of pictures of those participants. Take a look at them. If you take a liking to any of them, you should pick one from this page as well.”
Xiao Chenyang narrowed his eyes and sat down on the sofa, reaching out to take her phone. He scrolled through numerous pictures of the participants and appeared as if he was indeed making a selection.
On the other hand, Fang Erlan sat on one side, acting as his advisor. “Quick, look at this one. She’s pretty and has porcelain-white skin and big eyes. Her chin is sharp too. Not bad. This one’s decent as well. Her smile’s sweet...”
He continued looking without uttering a single word while she blabbered on non-stop, especially hoping that he would fancy one of them. It was to the extent that she even resorted to using herself to compare with the participants.
