52: Coffee shop owner

At this moment, Chen Qiu had just returned home.

After receiving a message from Zhang Mantong, he tapped on the photo to take a look.

Hiss!

You could say it's risqué, but she's dressed completely modestly!

Yet you could say it's conservative, but this woman has cleverly used the bicycle seat to create a suggestive atmosphere!

She has perfectly grasped the psychology of men.

Chen Qiu: "I'm wondering if the 'suggestive content' track is where your true talent lies?"

Zhang Mantong: "That won't do, I only do this for my CEO Daddy to see!"

After saying that, she swiped and sent a few more photos.

From a high-angle perspective, only the pointed, delicate chin of Zhang Mantong's face was visible.

Immediately following that were those sunken, exquisite collarbones, and a cleavage that was practically bursting out!

The zipper of her cycling jersey, having slid down to her chest, looked as if it had been pushed down because it couldn't bear the weight.

Looking at these photos made a wave of heat rise within Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu: "You dare to tease me like this when you're not by my side?"

If Zhang Mantong had dared to be this bold just now, she wouldn't be going home tonight!

Zhang Mantong: "I'm innocent! I'm just reporting my work progress!"

Chen Qiu: "Then keep it up, you'll have to report like this every day from now on."

Zhang Mantong: "Understood!"

Chen Qiu sat in the living room with his legs crossed.

Just then, his mother, Luo Jinglan, walked over carrying a stack of back cushions.

She placed the cushions on the sofa one by one.

Everyone in the village uses wooden sofas; they're heavy and hard!

When winter comes, they're ice-cold; if you don't put cushions on them, they'll freeze you right through!

"Mom, we're moving in a while, you'll just have to wash them again when you take them out."

Luo Jinglan glanced at him and said nonchalantly,

"Are you not going to come back for the New Year after we move?"

"No matter how big the apartment in the city is, it has no festive atmosphere during the New Year. It's not as lively as the village!"

"Aren't you trying to hide the fact that your son has made it big?"

Chen Qiu looked at her and smiled.

"You drove back such an expensive car, how could we possibly hide it!"

Luo Jinglan rolled her eyes at Chen Qiu, annoyed.

However, her face was full of pride and smugness!

During this time, she has definitely been the talk of the village!

She hadn't heard so many envious words in the first half of her life combined!

Matchmakers have been coming in an endless stream!

It has practically become a happy annoyance for her.

Thinking of the matchmaking, Luo Jinglan quickly took out her phone, holding it in one hand while tapping and swiping on the screen with the other.

"Son, these are a few girls Mom just picked out today!"

"They're all from the city and have high educational backgrounds. Take a look and see which one you want to meet first?"

Ever since she found out her son has three properties and millions in savings, Luo Jinglan's standards for matchmaking candidates have skyrocketed!

Chen Qiu's father, Chen Zhide, has always felt that he should find someone steady and virtuous for him.

Regarding this, Luo Jinglan scoffed directly!

Steady and virtuous—doesn't that just mean they aren't good-looking!

Has he considered the feelings of their future grandchildren?

Her son is now a bona fide successful person, and he can only marry one wife. Wouldn't it be better if she were excellent in appearance, personality, and ability?

Chen Qiu took the phone and flipped through it, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

These girls were all quite pretty, and all had at least a bachelor's degree.

Their jobs were even 'iron rice bowls' highly regarded by the older generation!

One was an elementary school teacher, another was a doctor at a secondary hospital...

This was countless times better than Lü Shuang, who he had been matched with at the very beginning!

Sure enough, the level of people you are perceived to be determines the level of matchmaking candidates you are introduced to!

Chen Qiu flipped through, and the last one caught his eye!

Wan Lingfei, 27 years old, graduated from Shanghai University, parents are retired state-owned enterprise employees!

She is currently the manager of a coffee shop in Gannan!

"Let's go with her!"

Seeing this, Luo Jinglan frowned.

She was the one she was least optimistic about.

Not to mention that at 27, she was the same age as her son, but from a work perspective, that 'manager' title sounded unreliable!

"Son, let's meet that doctor first. I think that girl is quite good!"

"She's the niece of Aunt Zhong from the village. I've met her before; she's tall and quiet!"

Chen Qiu pressed his mother down to sit and soothed her.

"It's not like I'm only meeting one; the others can line up afterwards!"

Luo Jinglan looked at him and said,

"Aren't you working on some project in the city lately?"

"Do you have that much time?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that busy; my time is easy to arrange!"

"You should set a time with the girl's side as soon as possible!"

"I'll arrange it all for you, so make sure you go on the date properly!"

"Although our family's conditions are better now, we can't be arrogant. If there's someone suitable, chat more and get to know them!"

Luo Jinglan advised him earnestly.

"Don't worry!"

Chen Qiu nodded with a smile.

In the evening, Luo Jinglan started making constant calls to find the matchmakers.

Soon, the matchmaking time for that coffee shop manager was confirmed.

Tomorrow afternoon!

"She's at the shop, just have Chen Qiu go directly to the shop to find her!"

After Luo Jinglan hung up the phone with the matchmaker, a WeChat contact card was pushed over.

The nickname was a string of English, very much in line with the vibe of a manager.

Chen Qiu casually tapped to add, then took a shower and went to sleep.

The next day.

Chen Qiu didn't go to the company; instead, he went with his parents to check on the renovation progress of the flat and the villa.

Today he had to sign the renovation contract with Yan Baiwei.

It just so happened that Luo Jinglan and Chen Zhide had nothing to do during this time, so they strongly insisted on going to see the villa's renovation!

Chen Qiu naturally trusted Yan Baiwei quite a bit; it was mainly that his parents couldn't rest easy leaving such a big house entirely to someone else.

After all, they had participated in building the house in the village brick by brick back in the day.

If they didn't watch it personally, it wouldn't feel real!

On the way, Chen Zhide excitedly drove the Audi Horch.

"This million-plus car is truly different, it's got power and it's smooth!"

"Dad, why don't you drive this car."

As soon as Chen Qiu finished speaking, Luo Jinglan quickly said,

"Why give it to him to drive? Does he need such a good car?"

Chen Zhide opened his mouth, but nodded anyway.

He didn't do business, so there was no need to drive such a good car.

Besides, he only had a beat-up van before; being able to take over Chen Qiu's Xiaomi SU7 to drive was already quite satisfying!

"I'll just drive that Xiaomi, it's quite nice!"

Chen Qiu shook his head, not voicing his inner thoughts.

Not to mention that the Xiaomi SU7's excessive horsepower was hard to handle, the vibe of an electric car was just too different from his dad.

In the perception of middle-aged men in the countryside, a luxury brand gasoline car still had higher recognition!

Chen Qiu planned to buy a safer gasoline car for him to drive in a few days.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Binjiang No. 1 flat first.

At this time, Yan Baiwei was already directing the furniture workers in moving and assembling.

Seeing that tall, cold figure, Luo Jinglan's eyes lit up slightly.

"Son, I remember you saying this girl was your high school classmate, right?"
