Chapter 66 Acquaintance Introduction
"Huh... This car's interior is so luxurious. Are you driving for the boss?"
Qin Wei'er of course knew that her older brother was working as a driver and bodyguard for a beautiful female boss.
"Yeah!"
Qin Yu simply nodded.
Mingyu's days were filled with endless affairs, and her time was extremely valuable; he couldn't just keep babbling on with his sister and waste the lady's time.
"Oh, then I'll call you later!"
Qin Wei'er stuck out her tongue and knowingly ended the video call.
"Sorry, Boss Yan!"
After putting down his phone, Qin Yu continued to drive.
"....."
Mingyu's face was expressionless as she looked out of the window, seemingly not hearing what Qin Yu had said.
Qin Yu didn't try to initiate any conversation and quietly drove her to the Camphor Heights.
After parking the car, he hailed a taxi and returned to the urban village.
After a shower, he had a video chat with his sister, telling her to just focus on her work since his salary had increased and his base pay was now eighty thousand a month.
The mortgage of over seven thousand was completely manageable.
Qin Wei'er was also delighted to hear it, her big brother had finally made a name for himself.
"Big Bro, are you off tomorrow morning?"
After his shower, Xu Peng, clad only in his boxers, plopped down next to Qin Yu and asked.
"I should be off. The boss said I could have a day off, just took a half-day rest. What's up, something on your mind?"
Qin Yu turned and asked.
"Well, someone set me up with a girl for a blind date, and I'm a little nervous. If you're free, come with me, will you?"
Xu Peng looked somewhat tense as he spoke.
"Nervous? Haven't you dated girls before, what's there to be nervous about?"
Qin Yu asked curiously.
"The girlfriends from before were just for fun, no need for commitments. Blind dates are different, if it goes well, it's a lifetime commitment! I'm a bit torn, feel like I haven't had enough fun, and I don't want to marry so early. But then, I'm also afraid of missing out on a good girl and never finding one later."
Xu Peng ran a hand through his hair as he spoke.
"Uh..."
"All right, I'll go with you!"
Qin Yu, a novice in matters of the heart, couldn't fully grasp Xu Peng's current feelings. However, thinking he had nothing to do the next morning, he decided to accompany his only friend on this blind date.
Actually, he was quite interested since he had never been on a blind date himself and didn't know what it would be like.
The next day.
Xu Peng dressed up nicely, looking quite handsome, and left the house with Qin Yu to flag down a taxi. Stay tuned for updates on empire
To meet the girl at her rented apartment.
Because the mutual acquaintance said the girl had called him, was up late working the night before, and wanted to sleep in the morning, she had given an address and told Xu Peng to just come over.
Soon, Xu Peng and Qin Yu arrived at an apartment building.
At the door of the blind date's room, they rang the doorbell for quite some time before hearing the sound of slippers approaching.
Then the door cracked open, revealing a pretty but obviously sleepy face, looking suspiciously at Xu Peng: "Who are you?"
"Um... someone introduced me... I..."
Perhaps nervous from it being his first blind date, Xu Peng was a bit incoherent.
"Oh, introduced by someone? Five hundred... one thousand five for two people!"
The girl peeked at Qin Yu through the gap in the door and said subconsciously.
"What?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Xu Peng's eyes widened, struggling to comprehend.
What five hundred, what one thousand five, what was she talking about?
"That's the price. If you want to play, come in. My blind date will be here soon!"
The girl pushed the door open a bit more and urged.
"I... am your blind date!"
Xu Peng said, flustered and slightly angry.
At this point, if he still didn't realize what the girl meant, he really would be as dumb as a pig.
"Oh, sorry, I was still groggy from sleep."
The girl also looked a bit embarrassed as she scratched her head before saying, "Regarding the blind date, my conditions are a house in the county city, a car around one hundred thousand, and additionally, a betrothal gift of three hundred thousand!"
"Uh... how about we try... five hundred first?"
Xu Peng, seeing that the other party was pretty, was quite moved.
"Scram!"
"Bang!"
The girl glared and slammed the door shut.
On the way back.
Xu Peng slumped his shoulders, looking very wounded. After Qin Yu comforted him a few words, he asked, "Didn't you have a girlfriend just a few days ago? Why worry, if all else fails, just marry her!"
"Ah, we broke up. Her ex-boyfriend is a Black man..."
Xu Peng said with a depressed face.
"Uh..."
Qin Yu didn't know what to say either.
"Boss, I need a favor. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow; can you cover my shift for a day? You've done food delivery before, and you're familiar with the routes. Otherwise, I'll lose my full attendance bonus for the month and get docked three days' pay!"
Xu Peng looked at Qin Yu and weakly requested.
"This... I'll text you tonight, I'll go to the company in the afternoon and see if the boss can give me a day off!"
Qin Yu thought it over and replied.
"Okay, I'm getting hungry, let's go, I'll treat you to skewers!"
Xu Peng pulled Qin Yu into a skewer restaurant.
In the afternoon.
Qin Yu went to work at the company and also asked for a day off.
Yan Mingyu didn't ask much and agreed.
When he left the office, Qin Yu had a feeling that his beautiful boss seemed to be colder and more distant toward him.
Is it just his imagination?
Qin Yu shook his head, no one could fathom the thoughts of a beauty like his boss.
The next day.
Qin Yu donned Xu Peng's delivery uniform, logged into his delivery app account, and began his day as a substitute.
Having worked as a delivery guy for nearly half a year before, he was quite familiar with the whole work process.
The day went by without any major issues.
It was about eight o'clock in the evening, and Qin Yu planned to make deliveries for another two hours before finishing his shift.
At that moment, his phone started to ring with a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
Qin Yu glanced at the number a few times before answering the call.
"Is this Qin Yu? Get to the company's main entrance as fast as you can!"
An anxious male voice spoke through the phone.
"Who... who are you? Did something happen at the company?"
Qin Yu asked, feeling confused.
"Never mind who I am, hurry up, Yan Mingyu might be in trouble!"
The person on the phone said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'm on my way!"
Upon hearing it concerned Yan Mingyu, Qin Yu didn't ask any further, parked his electric scooter at the roadside, and hailed a taxi.
When he arrived at the company's entrance, there was a middle-aged man in a black shirt squatting in front of a Land Rover, taking sharp drags from his cigarette.
However, his dense eyebrows were tightly knotted together.
"Hey, aren't you..."
Qin Yu recognized him as the substitute driver Yan Mingyu had called for the night he confronted Ichiro Sato and had been drinking.
"I'm one of the old man's people, take this; you must find Yan Mingyu. I can't leave, I have to stay on guard at the company!"
The middle-aged man handed Qin Yu a device with a display screen, "Yan Mingyu's necklace has a tracking system. If a red dot appears on the screen, it means she's in the vicinity!"
"Got it, I understand!"
Qin Yu's heart also tightened, not expecting that in just one day away from Yan Mingyu, she could have gotten into trouble.
