I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 301: Blind Date

Qin Xiaotao nodded, he knew Zhou Yue really liked to eat.

After exchanging a few words, the two didn’t know what else to say. Zhou Yue pointed into the distance and said with a grin, "Director Qin, I’ll be leaving now."

After saying that, she quickly left.

Leaving Qin Xiaotao to continue waiting.

It soon reached five o’clock, but the person he was waiting for still hadn’t arrived.

"Hello, sir, when would you like the grilled fish you ordered to be served?" At five o’clock, a waiter came over and asked with a smile.

Previously, when Qin Xiaotao arrived, a waiter had already come up to inquire.

"No rush, the person I’m waiting for hasn’t arrived yet." Qin Xiaotao shook his head.

"Alright, sir, please feel free to let us know if you need anything." The waiter said with a smile.

Seeing the waiter leave, Qin Xiaotao took out his phone and sent a message to check on the situation with the woman.

"Sorry, there’s a bit of traffic on the road, I need some more time." It was only after five minutes that a message came back.

Seeing the message, Qin Xiaotao replied, "No rush."

This wait lasted another hour, and it was already six o’clock.

At ten past six, two girls finally walked in.

One of them was wearing a white T-shirt, with fair skin; it’s said that fair skin covers a hundred flaws. Although the girl’s appearance was only considered plain, with her skin tone, she was clearly pretty.

As for the other girl’s appearance, it was relatively ordinary.

The two girls looked around at the seats in the grilled fish restaurant and saw Qin Xiaotao’s table. The girl with the ordinary appearance immediately said something to the pretty girl in the white T-shirt with a grin.

Then, the two of them walked over to Qin Xiaotao.

"You’re Qin Xiaotao, right?"

The girl in the white T-shirt sized up Qin Xiaotao carefully and seemed quite satisfied.

Now, Qin Xiaotao was completely different from a year ago, no longer lacking confidence, standing tall and straight. His appearance could definitely be described as handsome.

"Hello, you must be Yue Siya, right?"

Qin Xiaotao nodded and stood up.

"Your height is also pretty good."

After estimating Qin Xiaotao’s height and checking if he was wearing any height boosting shoes, the girl Yue Siya nodded to herself. His height was clearly over 1.8 meters.

Tall and handsome, Qin Xiaotao’s appearance now clearly met her expectations.

"And who is this?"

After glancing at Yue Siya, Qin Xiaotao actually didn’t feel much emotion. He looked towards the girl next to Yue Siya.

"This is my best friend, Lin Qi." Yue Siya introduced.

"Hello, handsome." Lin Qi smiled, "You don’t mind that I came with Siya, right?"

"I don’t mind." Qin Xiaotao shook his head.

After greeting, the three of them sat down.

The waiter from afar noticed the situation here and quickly came over.

After ordering the grilled fish, Yue Siya looked at Qin Xiaotao with curiosity and asked, "How old are you now?"

The introducer didn’t provide much information earlier, only saying Qin Xiaotao was around thirty and earned quite a lot in Jinling.

Usually, introducers would exaggerate, so how much truth was there in this information? Few people could really know.

"Thirty-one," Qin Xiaotao said.

Nodding, Yue Siya had no objections to this age; she was already thirty herself.

"So what do you do for work in Jinling?" Yue Siya asked.

Qin Xiaotao replied, "I work in the clothing industry."

"Clothing?"

After pondering for a moment, Yue Siya asked, "How much do you earn from that?"

"About twenty thousand a month." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Qin Xiaotao didn’t hide his salary.

"Twenty thousand?"

Yue Siya’s eyes lit up, her interest in Qin Xiaotao obviously growing.

This salary was clearly considered quite high.

"I heard from the introducer that you’re originally from Qingwu County. Have you bought a house in Jinling?" Yue Siya asked with great interest.

She was also from Qingwu County and had been in Jinling for many years.

"No." Qin Xiaotao shook his head.

After Hu Shanshan left, he returned the money he borrowed from Qin Yun and didn’t buy a house.

Upon hearing this, Yue Siya’s interest dropped significantly.

A house is the foundation of settling down; without a house in Jinling, it’s like being rootless, unable to truly establish oneself.

In her view, even if Qin Xiaotao hadn’t bought a house outright, making a down payment would still be commendable.

But unfortunately, he hadn’t even managed a down payment.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Yue Siya asked, "Did you drive here? Have you at least bought a car?"

Qin Xiaotao continued to shake his head, saying, "The car belongs to the company."

Upon hearing this, Yue Siya felt even more disappointed.

No house, no car, a salary of twenty thousand is pointless. To save enough for a down payment on a house and car, who knows how long that would take.

Her ideal partner should have a house and car in Jinling, and she was willing to compromise on looks, among other things.

While Qin Xiaotao’s looks made her very satisfied, even getting a loan to buy a house and car would be fine, but he had nothing.

If Qin Xiaotao were younger, in his twenties, with a twenty thousand salary, she would be willing to work towards a future together, but now at thirty-one, the salary was clearly not enough.

However, despite lacking a house and car, Qin Xiaotao’s other advantages were clear, so she wouldn’t reject him outright but keep him as an option.

In the following conversation, Yue Siya wasn’t very engaged, and Qin Xiaotao sensed it, remaining calm in his heart.

The grilled fish was served, and after having some, this blind date came to an end.

Qin Xiaotao took the initiative to pay the bill and left the grilled fish restaurant.

"Siya, I find Qin Xiaotao quite nice, he looks good, and his conversation was alright."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Plus, he earns twenty thousand, he’s a potential catch."

"What potential catch, no house, no car, his conditions are too poor," Yue Siya shook her head.

"Those things can be worked on later. With a high salary, anything is possible in the future." Lin Qi said.

"Let’s forget it, just because he says he earns twenty thousand a month, does he really have that? Nowadays, guys on blind dates often exaggerate their salaries, claiming ten thousand when it’s really only a few thousand. I can’t just ask him to show me his pay slip, can I? Who knows if he’s telling the truth?"

Upon hearing Yue Siya’s words, Lin Qi replied helplessly, "So what will you do next?"

This best friend of hers had looks as an advantage but tended to be a bit picky. This point was something Lin Qi couldn’t persuade her on, so she stopped trying.

Now at thirty, though her own child was already five years old, she felt that her life was quite normal but pretty good.

"What else can I do? Depends on how he performs. If he performs well, I might give him a chance."

Yue Siya sighed and said, "The two guys I’ve been on blind dates with recently, Qin Xiaotao is probably the better one."

"By the way, how’s work going for you? I’m going for an interview at the Celestial Fortune office building in a couple of days, do you want to come with me?"
