If love can be booked

Chapter 156 Zhao Qinglin & Qiu Ruozhen - 1

If meeting requires an appointment, I think I didn't make an appointment and missed the right time and place to meet you.

How to make an appointment? When we first met, your frown showed that there was another woman in your world. But I still couldn't help but remember your appearance.

What I once insisted on vanished in an instant; those theories and doctrines about love were also completely overturned at this moment.

Today, I work as a manager in a foreign trade company and have my own independent office. Time flies, and I am now 27 years old. Occasionally, I would stare at the sky, thinking about life, living and love.

A cup of coffee time, the days are always busy...

As for work, it seems that there is nothing that I can't handle. I started as a foreign trade salesman and have been growing up along the way. I work hard alone just to not waste this wonderful time.

Regarding life, I have relatives to take care of me, and I know the warmth and coldness of human nature in my own city. Although I have my own place, I still miss my hometown every night.

Regarding love, if you have never truly loved someone, you will not know the feeling of missing someone. As the saying goes: Although you are lonely, you can still be happy when you are alone...

As the days go by, I have never passed through your world, and you have never hurt my heart.

I browse my QQ space from time to time. Wedding photos are no longer a new thing. My friends all like to share their wedding photos and family photos. How far behind are we? It seems that marriage can be achieved quickly, just because of the urging from society, family, etc.

Should age be a factor that affects love and marriage? And who is the one I am waiting for? It’s not that I don’t believe in love, nor that I don’t dare to pursue love, but that so many people have come and gone around me for so many years, but I haven’t found anyone who makes my heart beat fast?

Over the years, I have grown up by myself and have become accustomed to the world of solitude, which is simple and unrestrained. Sometimes I feel confused, but I always think about how to face the future.

Every day, there are endless work emails to deal with and endless phone calls to answer...

"Xiao Qiu..." My companion on a business trip to India, we spent nine days together, and at that time we joked that we were friends for nine days. I just didn't expect that they got along so well.

"Sister Huang..." Huang Xijie, a friend I picked up, went on a business trip abroad for the first time a few years ago. At that time, I thought I would be scared to be alone abroad, but because of her enthusiasm and cheerfulness, I felt particularly at ease.

"Are you busy?" The two of them did not contact each other frequently, they just occasionally called each other and chatted on QQ. Although they did not have much intersection in life, they did not lose contact and maintained a relationship that was neither close nor distant.

"Not bad. How about you? I heard that your Indian market is doing well this year." Since they are in the same industry, their topics are rarely related to work, but they do have some common topics.

"No, it's mainly because the agent does a good job." The Taiwanese company in India speaks Mandarin, so communication is easier and it also provides a stable foundation.

"Yes, yes, yes... contentment is the key to happiness." If you let go, you will feel at peace...

"Okay." Yes, there shouldn't be too much pressure. After all, we are getting married.

"Are you free this weekend? I've got a date with a handsome guy for you." I heard that she didn't have a stable partner, so I helped her date a handsome guy, an engineer at a friend's company.

"Handsome guy? Not my type, right?" It seems like she has no affinity with handsome guys...

"How could that be? Look at you, you have such a good personality, you will definitely find your Mr. Right." The deepest impression I have of her is that she is gentle, kind, talkative and cheerful...

"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you scare people away by saying that?" Such a good personality? Maybe it's because her appearance is not outstanding enough that she can only show her inner beauty? From childhood to adulthood, her inferiority complex all comes from her perception of her external appearance.

"How is that possible? He is the technical engineer and general manager of Boyi Times." Why do you always doubt yourself? It's just that you don't realize how wonderful you are.

"How come you don't have a girlfriend with such good conditions?" Engineer? General Manager?

"Just pick it." When you are young, you look for the so-called feeling. As time goes by, you will find that the so-called feeling will fade, and you can't find the persistence and longing you once had.

"Maybe they are waiting too. Aren't you the same? You have such high standards for love." Some people are left alone, not because they are not good enough, but because they are too good. This is like a curse. The more you pursue perfection, the harder it is to find the right person. But perhaps it is this persistence that allows them to finally find their true happiness.

"No, I just haven't met that person yet." She said softly, with a look of confusion and expectation in her eyes. She knew that she had been waiting for a special person to appear, someone who could make her heart beat and make her feel warm. However, time always went too fast.

"Okay, okay... I'll send you my QQ number and you can keep in touch." She said with a smile. Although he didn't know what the result would be, it at least gave them a chance to get to know each other.

"Well, okay. Thank you..." she said gratefully. Perhaps it was because she had reached her age and had become the main force of those who were being urged to get married. Her parents' expectations and the pressure from society made her feel a little helpless. But how could she force things like love?

Zhao Qinglin...What a literary name, Zhao Qinglin.

Some people will meet because they will meet eventually; while some people will meet just to repay the debts owed in the previous life. Who will I meet? Who will stay for me?

Love, if I could make an appointment, I think I would make an appointment at an age that is neither too early nor too late, so that when I meet you, the flowers will bloom all over the ground...

It's just that I can't predict the future, just like time has passed so quickly over the years, I have not been able to keep any face, passers-by will eventually leave. Just a passer-by, can I linger for a lifetime of prosperity?

I look forward to it, I wait, and I am persistent for you.

ding ding ding…

"Xiao Qiu, come to the third floor."

"Okay." The leader called, endless work...

As long as you want it, as long as I can give it, I will not be stingy, but I am afraid that what I can give is no longer what you can ask for. I am not afraid of meeting you, and I have never regretted meeting you. I am just afraid that if I meet you, I will be a lonely figure and unable to remember you.

BoYi Times, Vice President's Office

"Manager Zhao, are you looking for me?" Knock, knock, knock...

Zhao Qinglin didn't say anything, but handed her a document and said, "Have you checked this document carefully?"

Secretary Emily took the file, flipped it open and looked at it, then replied: "I checked it. Is there any problem?" Knowing his high-intensity requirements for work, she checked the files for a long time before handing them to him. Is there a problem again?

Zhao Qinglin pointed to two places in the document and said, "Do these two correspond?"

Secretary Emily took a look and immediately showed an innocent look on her face and said, "I'm sorry, I'll change it right away."

"Be more careful next time. This is not the first time I've told you about this detail." She is good in every way. She is diligent, down-to-earth, and hardworking, but she is a little confused and careless when doing things. Every time I remind her to pay attention to details, she always forgets. Why can't she remember? Can't remember? What about her? Why can't she remember him?

Immersed in endless memories, the woman named Lin Xiaoxi was the only woman he had ever loved deeply in his life and still loved deeply. Even though he knew he was no longer qualified, she was married and lived a happy life. He dared not disturb the happiness in her eyes.

Maybe this is what is called an unequal relationship? I love you, you love him. You have your own happiness, while I have precious memories. However, it is just a story of the past.

If you love someone, you should give them the freedom they need, let them be unrestrained in love, and pursue their own happiness. I used to think this was a very irresponsible statement, but now I feel that it is such a painful realization to have such a cognition...

I finally let you go, but I can't convince myself of my true inner thoughts. I travel around the world, to the farthest place from you, but my heart still turns only for you.

I know the ending, I know you are the place I cannot reach, but I still cling to you, I selfishly want you to come back one day, even if it is just for a moment. I don't care how much time you will give me, I just want to have you.

dong dong dong...

"Manager Zhao, OK, take a look." The document was placed next to him...

"The old lady asked you to go."

"Got it. Scan the document for Mr. Zhao." Sign, stamp...

"Yeah." Turning around and leaving the office, he was thinking about her again, right? I heard his story and was moved by his persistence. It was just love. Who could explain it clearly?

Lin Xiaoxi, I miss you, but I still don't have the courage to call you. I don't want you to be embarrassed, I don't want you to frown, and I don't dare to listen to your strange and polite greetings.

dong dong dong...

"Grandma..." It's rare that she is in such a good mood today. Is she coming to the company?

“Come, come, come... sit down..." Grandma greeted warmly, her eyes full of joy and anticipation.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" It seems that the topic between them is nothing but marriage... I really don't want to talk about it anymore. Apart from her, he doesn't want anyone else...

"Little brat, it's okay... Can't grandma come to find you?" Grandma pretended to be angry and picked up the pillow to throw at him, her fists falling down mercilessly.

"Grandma, grandma...are you still my real grandma?" He shouted helplessly while dodging the attack. This scene reminded him of his childhood when his grandma would teach him the same lesson whenever he was naughty. But now, he felt wronged, as if his marriage had become his grandma's enemy.

"Then I don't care." Grandma said firmly, I only care about my future granddaughter-in-law...

"Your grandfather makes me angry, and you are angry with me too?" Neither of them is a worry-free child. One is a big fool, the other is a little fool. Are they truly a grandparent and grandchild?

"How dare I?" If he dared to make her angry, his grandfather would immediately come and teach him a lesson.

"You still say you don't dare?" She could list a lot of his crimes in a minute.

"You didn't even go to see the girl I asked you out last time." Not meeting her would be fine, but she accused you of not keeping your promise. If I asked her out again, her family wouldn't agree...

"I didn't miss the meeting. I just happened to be on a business trip." It was the right time, and I was on a business trip. I heard about her and thought I could run into her by chance...

"You can't say hello to others when you're on a business trip?" This is not the old society. You can't leave without any news after you leave. Can't you call them on the phone? You're lying to her again...

"I wanted to call her, but I forgot her cell phone number..." He didn't write down her cell phone number. The only thing in his memory was information about a woman, nothing else.

"You're making so many excuses. Do you think grandma is easy to fool?" She pretended to be angry, and she was a little angry. She just wanted to see her grandson in her lifetime.

"How could I?" He sighed helplessly, complaining in his heart. In fact, he did have something to deal with, and it was not a deliberate excuse. But facing his grandmother's expectations, he really couldn't bear to disappoint her.

"I asked someone to introduce you to another girl, who is a business manager of a foreign trade company." Grandma continued, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. I heard that the girl has a very good personality, gentle, cute, generous, and is also an elite at work!

"Don't break your promise this weekend!" the old lady warned seriously, "I have already told Xiao Wang in advance not to arrange any plans for you this weekend. If you dare to break your promise again this time, grandma will really not forgive you!" There was an unquestionable firmness in her tone.

"Well, okay, grandma." He nodded, with a helpless smile on his face. As if he often broke his promises?

"Don't worry, I will definitely go." Although he knew that he might not like this kind of blind date, he was willing to give it a try in order to fulfill his grandmother's wish.

"Don't always be perfunctory, grandma." She patted his hand gently, her tone full of concern and expectation.

"Now your grandfather and I are idle at home with nothing to do, so we just want to hug our grandson." There has been no children's laughter in the house for a long time, and we really need a cute little guy to add vitality.

"I know, but there's no rush for this, right?" Children? Why are we talking about children when we don't even have a stable marriage partner yet? Isn't it a bit too early?

"Just take it to heart." I'm just afraid you won't be able to treat it well...

"You can't force feelings. Even my grandma knows this." Who hasn't been young? If time could start over again, who would disappear? Who would be reborn?

"Don't bully me, I heard she's a very nice girl." She's gentle, intelligent, generous, considerate, and can cook delicious meals. Most importantly, she has a very good personality...

"Got it." He never bullies little girls, okay?

"Phone number. I've asked Xiao Wang to send you his cell phone number." As young people, they are not in a hurry to get married.

“Okay… whenever you want to go back, just call me and I’ll take you there.” The eternal topic, marriage… who hasn’t had a time when they were madly in love with someone?

The text message alert sounded, and when I opened it, it was a message from Qiu Ruozhen with her cell phone number and WeChat ID.

Ignore it and bury myself in work...
