Chapter 6: 6

There was a phrase that said, blind dates are full of weirdos. The meaning was, by going to blind dates, it was easy to encounter weird people.

Guo Zhi felt that her luck was strangely good for once. The one this time at least had a better appearance than the last one.

The day before yesterday, July 1st, Her Majesty Mom had given her a call.

“It’s already ‘next month’, I’ve already given your number to the other person. When that person calls you, go obediently and don’t try to do anything funny, understood?” Her Majesty Mom said sternly.

Guo Zhi cried out pitifully: “Didn’t we agree to wait for the last one to call me? Who knows if he is still considering me? Let’s keep waiting!”

Her Majesty Mom’s voice carried a bit of anger: “Wait my ass! The last one has already ended. New month, new beginning. Didn’t you like the ones that were good looking? This time, I especially asked people to help you find a handsome one! Can being handsome feed you?” Her mother hung up the phone angrily.

In the wilderness, there was something called food chain. Animals in the top of the pyramid ate the ones in the bottom, and apparently, nothing could go against it.

No matter how mighty Guo Zhi was normally, once she was in front of her mom, she would surrender.

That was why when she got the call, she obediently arranged a time to eat dinner with the other party. The other party’s company’s office building was also in CBD, not far away from her company. They arranged to meet in a restaurant in the bar street. It was half foreign and not local, the type whose menu was half-filled with a foreign language. In fact, Guo Zhi was not interested in these kinds of restaurants. She thought that it was better to eat food like boiled fish to satisfy her cravings.

Unfortunately, she was not there to satisfy her cravings, she was there for a blind date. While on a blind date, she had to present herself nicely.

To her surprise, Her Majesty Mom did not lie to her and really found a handsome guy for her. On looks department, he was the best one out of all the ones she had met on blind dates.

The conversation over dinner was not very lively. The handsome guy was not very talkative, and his gaze was a little weird. It constantly lingered on her body and made her feel uncomfortable. However, towards handsome men, if it was not about work, she was very tolerant. Who told her to be a beauty lover? The atmosphere was also quite harmonious.

When it was time to pay for the bill, she did not fight to pay.

Gu Qing Xia once told her, ‘What good is there to fighting for the bill? Through it, a man’s attitude towards the woman could be seen. If you don’t like him, then you can just AA. If you like him, then you can see if he likes you through the way he handles the bill. If there is a possibility for it to grow into something more, then you can take turns later. There isn’t any need to pay the bill in the beginning. If you encounter a guy who’s very stingy, then he will take advantage of it, and on the chance that the guy is interested, he will easily be scared off because of your mightiness.’

After listening to her, she felt that it was reasonable. She could be more reserved and act like a weak woman occasionally.

Just… she would sometimes forget her gender and was used to solve things by herself whenever something went wrong.

Fortunately, the handsome man this time was efficient when paying the bill and seemed to like her too. Guo Zhi could not help but be happy.

She had met many weird guys on blind dates, and it was difficult the encounter one that had good manners and was pleasing to the eyes. During the whole dinner, he did not ask her about her income, car, and apartment. He did not make her feel that disgusted feeling she got, as if she was putting herself to be weighted.

Even though… his gaze… is a bit lusty… but he is a man, and it’s understandable. Guo Zhi consoled herself. He was a handsome man, so even if he was lusty, she could tolerate it. She did not think too much about why a man that was handsome and rich would go to blind dates.

She never thought that there would be men who could not be tolerated even if they were handsome.

That night, the handsome guy added her on WeChat, and they talked to each other. The following night, they continued talking, and as they were talking, he suddenly asked: [Are you still a virgin?]

When Guo Zhi saw that, she was stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, she replied: [I’m already 28.]

I’m 28! Virgin my ass! Guo Zhi believed that she had encountered a virgin lover. She thought, I’m dead, I’ll have to report to Her Majesty Mom that this one also didn’t work out.

He was not a virgin lover. He replied with an [Oh…], and after a moment, he suddenly asked another question: [Have you seen porn?]

Quickly following that, he sent a gif.

Simple and crude, the type where something was inserted somewhere.

Blind dates are full of weirdos, it’s a fact!

Guo Zhi instantly exploded.

[Say it directly if you want a one-night stand, why do you even go to blind dates?] She angrily said.

[Oh… I’m sorry.] The other party said, [then… do you want to?]

[Scram!!!] Guo Zhi directly blocked this trash.

She was dizzy with anger. A heart that wanted to seriously and honestly date with the intention of ending in marriage was heavily damaged!

The most annoying thing was, she still had to think about what to tell her mother.

Going to blind dates had a very annoying side. It was that the people you met in the blind dates were people that your closed ones found through their connections. If anything happened, then it would impact many people.

Even if you met a weirdo, you could not tell them to your family.

Some parents would rather believe the glorifying words of the introducer instead of believing the truth told by their children. They insisted on thinking that what their children told them was false, that the other person was surely very good, and that their own children did not have insight and were not willing, so they lied.

Of course, there were also parents that believed in their own children, so when they encountered some weirdo that was outrageous, the parents would complain to the introducer, probably even leading to quarrels. Not everybody could be a matchmaker. One failure could create animosity between the parties involved.

That was why, when people who had experience with blind dates encountered a weirdo, they would prefer to keep it to themselves and not tell their family and the matchmaker about it.

As for Guo Zhi, even if she had to keep it to herself until she felt like dying, she would still not dare to tell her mother about this. If her mom somehow knew about this, she would surely beat that matchmaker with a broom. This time, the matchmaker really could not be blamed. That man certainly seemed like a decent person, with a good appearance and a good monthly salary. No one would believe that he was not a good partner.

The phrase that parents really liked to say was, ‘The people in blind dates are all people who are introduced by family and friends, we are very familiar with them!’

But they did not stop to think, that in this age of internet, people could have one face in real life and another one for virtual life. When it came to people, there was no such thing as being ‘very familiar’! No one could know everything about another person!

This caused Guo Zhi to be unable to sleep properly for the whole night, and the next day, she was in low spirits.

The bright side was that the models were professionals, and the photographer was one that had a good reputation; the shooting progressed relatively well.

“Ok!” The photographer looked at the camera and made a gesture. He then waved his hand and said: “Let’s change the background, go and change your clothes, and let’s shoot a nude group photo.”

Damn!

Guo Zhi once again exploded.

Michael, this bastard! Was he not scolded enough by me last time? She had clearly denied the proposal of a nude photo.

The model responded and prepared to move.

“Wait a moment!” Guo Zhi pointed at him and nailed the model in her place. She turned to the photographer with a killing aura: “Why didn’t you discuss it with me beforehand? Why do we have to shoot a nude? Is it necessary?”

Michal let out a cold laugh. Last time, he only slacked a little and was scolded by Guo Zhi like a dog. This time, he came to get revenge, so he was naturally prepared.

“Come here and see.” He did not change expressions and told her to see the photos. Letting out a string of words, from composition and lighting, he used technical words to suppress Guo Zhi’s momentum.

To become someone who had his level of fame, he certainly had to be above a certain level. He was able to render Guo Zhi to a state of being unable to refute. Towards this kind of big-name photographers, sometimes it was required to give them a certain degree of free activity. It was an unofficial rule in the industry. Under this rule, the photographers always ended up producing works that could surprise people.

Guo Zhi held back a breath and said: “Ok, then let’s clear the place, leaving only you, me and her.”

Who would have thought that, after hearing that she had allowed it, the little model immediately started to strip herself.

“Hey, hey! Don’t strip!” Guo Zhi was anxious.

“Editor Guo, there’s no problem, let everybody remain, otherwise it will be difficult to get the best effect.” The little model stripped herself until she was clean, consoled Guo Zhi with a soft voice, and said to Michael with a sweet tone: “What pose should I make? Please tell me”.

The photographer gave orders to his assistant to adjust the lights and background and told the model about the poses she had to make. The staff members silently did their work and sometimes peeked at the alluring body under the lights. The model herself did not care, so of course they had to let their eyes eat some ice cream.

They all pretended to not see Guo Zhi’s expression.

Even though just now Michael gave a bunch of reasons, the present people knew what was really happening. They all knew about the confrontation between Guo Zhi and Michael and just pretended to not know anything, since they could not offend either of them.

One moment they would do their work, and another moment they would glance at the model’s body. Everybody was taking advantage.

Working in this kind of industry, only girls who were willing to sacrifice something were able to make it to the top.

Guo Zhi was so angry that she felt that her liver and lungs hurt. She simply decided to not look.

She turned back and saw a cold beauty standing by the door, watching the whole scene that was happening.

She rubbed the veins in her temples while walking over and, with a gloomy face said: “Have I become old? Why do I not understand the way that the young girls nowadays think like?”

That cold beauty was her co-worker and good friend Gu Qing Xia.

“There is nothing that can’t be understood.” She curled her lips. “Michael can be considered someone that has some fame and connections in the industry. Just how old is she? How long has it been since she debuted? If through this, she manages to hold on to Michael, she won’t care about rules being broken. You are blocking it with a good heart, but the person herself may think that you are preventing her success.”

Guo Zhi felt that her mocking smile was much more beautiful and alluring, compared to those of the models she had worked with before. But, after listening to her words, instead of feeling that her liver and lungs hurt, she felt that her balls hurt.

“It probably really is because I can’t keep up with the times then.” She mockingly said. Both she and Gu Qing Xia were people that were close to the age of 30.

“It can’t be judged like that.” Gu Qing Xia crossed her arms and looked towards the sight under the lights. “It’s only a matter of the way of living of every person. No matter how other people decide to live, it has nothing to do with us.”

Guo Zhi looked at the young and beautiful body under the lights and sighed.

“Shen Yuan’s project has passed.” Gu Qing Xia changed the topic.

Sure enough, after Guo Zhi heard that, her eyes brightened. “Finally, what’s the budget?”

Gu Qing Xia smiled and remained silent. She lifted her hand and gave a number.

“OMG, Qing Xia, you’re so incredible!” Guo Zhi’s face was full of excitement, “I knew that you would get it. Damn, it was held up by Vivian for such a long time. If another company had gotten it, Xiao Gang’s face expression would have been terrible!”

Office politics were such a complicated matter. Guo Zhi knew how many twists and turns Gu Qing Xia had to take to get this project, but she also knew how capable her friend was and believed in her. In the end, the project was taken by her just like she (Guo Zhi) expected and all her (Gu Qing Xia) hard work was paid off.

“I sent you the timeline in the afternoon. Don’t forget to see the email at night.” Gu Qing Xia reminded her, “There will be a reunion tomorrow. The proposal to be given to the client must be done by next week at the latest.”

“Don’t worry!” When talking about work, Guo Zhi would be very sure of herself and radiant.

The two of them talked for a moment more, and then Gu Qing Xia left. Outside of the studio, a young handsome guy was standing. It seemed like a model. She did not place importance on it.
