Chapter 30: First Date

Huo Cheng founded a company called Jinshi Technology two years ago with his old classmates at the University of A. Their company launched a short video app this year, which has quickly become popular among young people in the past few months.

Like their company's main audience, Kingstone's employees are mostly young. Huo Cheng, who is less than 30 years old, is already considered older in their company.

Goldstone Technologies employees have had nothing but good things to say about Huo Cheng in general:

Competent, enterprising, brown and straight.

He never wore makeup, never used skincare products, had an inch head, and wore formal clothes all day long, not to look good, but to save time.

Nah, his height and looks were so remarkable that he was picked up by a romance variety show.

After being repeatedly approached by the program's team, Huo Cheng finally chose to participate in the filming of the romance series in order to promote his company.

Because of his participation in "Red and Blue Signal", Mr. Huo has changed a lot.

He stopped wearing black, gray and blue suits to the end and started learning to wear casual clothes with a bit of style.

He's even started wearing perfume.

But these they can understand, I heard that ordinary people on camera even have to make up, Huo Cheng on behalf of their company's image on the love of synthesis, the overall image of the natural to young people's aesthetics on the lean.

You have to be handsome to be in love.

But what they didn't expect was that Huo Cheng would learn to cook just for the love show he's in!

You have to know that their Mr. Huo is famous for his straight thinking, not understanding romance, not being considerate enough, and being rough around the edges has always been one of the heaviest labels on him!

"Mr. Huo has worked too hard for our company." A manager stood in front of the back kitchen of a restaurant, looking at Huo Cheng carrying a spoon.

It's really hard for them, Mr. Huo.

Looking at his big head of more than one meter nine, wearing a white shirt, suit pants, carrying a pot in his hand, reminds him of a not quite appropriate but particularly appropriate phrase: the Eastern Palace Maiden cooks a big cake.

How it looks awkward, how it doesn't match.

Huo Cheng's partner, Ming Zhou, said, "You guys really think he's doing it for our company."

The crowd turned their heads to look at him.

Zhou Ming said, "The old tree has blossomed."

"Mr. Huo is in love?"

"Mr. Huo really has his eye on the guest in that love variety show, who? Who's so charming that he captured our Mr. Huo so quickly!"

"I thought Mr. Huo only had work in his eyes, he's a cool workaholic who loves to work overtime!"

"Last month our company held a regular meeting, who was the one who had the face to educate a group of single dogs in our company, saying that we should work hard on our career while we are young and not engage in those love affairs!"

Huo Cheng studied very hard.

He is the type of person who has an idea that he has to put into action immediately, and has always been very action-oriented.

Out of the eight of them, only Di Xingchen can cook, which means that the remaining seven who can cook will have more contact with Di Xingchen.

He doesn't need to learn everything, he just learns one thing a day.

The chef wiped the sweat from his head, "You ...... don't have to stir fry so vigorously."

This man, his hands are too strong.

Huo Cheng is strong.

Thinking that this is the stir-fry I learned for Di Xingchen makes me feel even more energized.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Ying arrived at the south gate of China Dance on time.

Di Xingchen had not yet stepped out of the door when he saw Hu Ying.

Because Hu Ying attracted a lot of students to take pictures of him.

Looks like it's causing a commotion.

Although "Red and Blue Signal" has been broadcast live a few times, but it has not yet been officially broadcast on the star, so most people have not yet seen the show, usually Di Xingchen in the school no one recognized him, now suddenly see this kind of scenario, a moment to step back.

But Hu Ying saw him from afar, too, and waved at him excitedly.

Di Xingchen had no choice but to walk over.

The main reason why Hu Ying can attract so many people to take photos is that besides his own white beauty, it's mainly because he is followed by two followers who take photos of him.

As soon as Di Xingchen arrived, the onlookers all pointed their cell phones at him.

The two of them headed out together, Hu Ying said, "You have to adapt slowly, after this program of ours airs, you'll know that all these are small scenes today! You're destined to be a big star, a big dancer!"

Di Xingchen then laughed and his nervousness faded.

Today's date was arranged by Di Xingchen himself. Considering the need to give the program team usable material, after dinner he took Hu Ying to the underground mall near their school for more than two hours.

Just like Hu Ying thought before, hanging out with Di Xingchen is really different from hanging out with a rich guy, Di Xingchen took him to play with the early twenties students will play, they play basketball, play vr, visit bookstores, sit on the chairs in the snack street to listen to the singer singing ballads, eat sugar gourds, drink milk tea.

Hu Ying was so excited that she even bought two glowing rabbit ears to wear on her head.

"Have you never been to a place like this before?"

Hu Ying said excitedly, "No!"

"I thought you said you used to hang out on our side of the school too?"

"I'm not showing how easy-going I am. To be honest, I'm usually so busy that even if I had time to shop, I'd still go to a place like Huajiang."

Hwa Jiang Mansion is the most famous high-end consumer mall in South City, the CBD of South City.

"Do you know whose family Hwa Jiang belongs to?" Hu Ying asked.

"Whose house is it?"

"Pei Xu, of their family, took the name of his stepfather, Zhou Jiangbai, and his mom, Pei Huanong. Pei Huanong is now the chairman of the Hualiang Group." Hu Ying said and stopped at a crane machine.

"You want to play?"

"I haven't played this." Hu Ying said as she pulled out her cell phone, "I'll just play them all today."

The crane machine was situated at the entrance of the mall, right next to the two escalators going up. Hu Ying looked at the row of crane machines and finally chose the one with the most pink dolls.

"You love the color pink so much." Di Xingchen said.

"Yeah, I like pink. You're pretty pink too."

Di Xingchen froze for a moment, then realized what Hu Ying was talking about and immediately stretched out his leg and kicked him.

Hu Ying ducked over and smiled as she scanned the code with her cell phone.

The first time he plays, it's inevitable that he won't succeed. But he has poor patience, three failures and he's on fire, six failures and he wants to kick the crane machine with his foot.

Di Xingchen said, "Why don't I try?"

"Have you ever played?"

Di Xingchen said, "No. It's my first time playing too."

Hu Ying took the milk tea from him and asked Di Xingchen to try it.

Di Xingchen looked around and spotted a plush bunny that he loved.

Who knew Di Xingchen would get the doll on the first try?

Now not only Hu Ying was excited, even Di Xingchen was excited.

He's really playing for the first time.

They both had their hearts in their throats when the doll reached the top.

When Di Xingchen finally got the pink bunny out, Hu Ying couldn't help but throw her arms up in the air and say, "YES!"

Milk tea spilled out of his hand.

"You give it to me, so I can show it off when I go back." Hu Ying said.

Di Xingchen gave him the rabbit.

Hu Ying couldn't get enough of it, "It's so cute."

Di Xingchen tried a few more times, but his luck failed and he couldn't get any out. Hu Ying tried a few more times, but also failed.

The two ended up coming out of the underground mall with a rabbit.

It was completely dark outside, and Di Xingchen looked at the time and asked, "Isn't it almost time to go back?"

"You guys stroll around one more time." The followup guy said, "Give us a little more footage for the clip."

Hu Ying smiled and said, "Then let's go for a walk on the beach."

They went down the path just behind the center dance, and through a worn and dark path they reached the beach just outside the center dance playground.

This side is a favorite place for Chinese dance couples to come, and now that the night is deep, there are many couples sitting in twos and threes under the moonlight.

They had brought their follow up camera and it was not good to go where there were a lot of couples, so they just kept heading west.

"Can we follow this coastline all the way to the Red and Blue Hut?" Hu Ying asked.

"It can be, but I guess you can't stand it, it's a bit far." Di Xingchen said.

"Don't underestimate me, when I graduated from high school, I finished my last get-together with a certain classmate, and after dinner we were supposed to take a taxi back to school, but none of us wanted to break up, so we all went on foot, from the north side of the south city all the way to the east side of the south city, traversing a small half of the city for two hours."

Di Xingchen asked, "Are you still in touch with that student?"

Hu Ying then turned her head to look at him, and her smile actually had a bit of shyness and sadness in it.

"Your first love?"

Hu Ying shook his head.

Di Xingchen turned back to the camera and said, "This is off the air."

"It's okay to broadcast." Hu Ying says, "Not first love, first person I liked and one of my best friends, counts as a crush."

Hu Ying said and laughed a little, he grabbed the pink rabbit with one hand and scratched his hair with the other and said, "He is now abroad with his girlfriend, he just graduated and will be getting married soon, the door is right for the family, the girl is also a rich and white girl, the two of them are very much in love. He even said he's going to ask me to be the best man."

Di Xingchen nodded.

Hu Ying asked, "What's that look on your face."

"What a sorry look for you."

Hu Ying shook his head and said, "That relationship passed long ago, now when I see him again, it's already completely a friend's feeling, but at that time when I was a teenager, it was true love for him, I've never been chased by anyone else in my life, and the only time I've been sad about not getting the one I like."

Hu Ying held up a finger, looking as serious as he'd ever been, "The only time."

"Have you ever had a crush on someone? Someone you like but can't have?" Hu Ying asked.

Di Xingchen shook his head.

Hu Ying himself laughed, stared at him, his gaze dark, and said, "Forget it, you're a little chick."

Di Xingchen just stifled a laugh.

Di Xingchen smiled gently and quietly, with the feeling that she was obviously touched by what he just said and tried to comfort him. In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's faces, Hu Ying suddenly moved with true feelings and said very sincerely, "It's so nice of you to be like this, Xingchen, I hope you'll never shed tears because you love someone and don't know what it's like."

"Hopefully you won't be either." Di Xingchen said.

Then the two looked at each other for a moment and finally laughed at the same time.

"Damn, let's both die of pretense." Hu Ying shouted.

Di Xingchen laughed out loud.

A very bright laugh, something between a boy and a man clean, cheerful, thin and tall, with a nice clean aroma.

For a moment, Hu Ying felt a long-lost, youthful stirring, as if she had been taken back to her youth by Di Xingchen's green and lush scent.

Di Xingchen is the kind of boy everyone has a crush on in school.

Gentle, clean, person like white moonlight, heart like a complete gem.
