A chance encounter is something like throwing a stone into the middle of a lake.  Although it will cause ripples which will dazzle for a while, then all will soon disappear without a trace.

But it is undeniable that the stone sank deep into the heart.

Chen Ruo Yu was like the lake that the stone was thrown into.  On the surface, she was calm, free from waves but her heart was rippling endlessly.

That stone was pressing into her heart uncomfortably.

Obviously, the one who did not like her was him, the one who gossiped badly about her to other people was him but why was it that when they met, the one who felt guilty was her?

It was alright even if she had felt guilty but why did she still keep thinking about him?

She should be thinking of a ghost instead of him.  It was only correct she should abandon him, spurn him and despise him.  Although regarding this matter, it was also her mistake to be overconfident but to be degraded and tossed aside by his people in his territory, it still made her very unhappy.

She must bear a grudge against him!  Humph!

She wants to live better than him!  Humph!

She wants to find a partner faster than him, get married and have children.  Then when they meet again, she will have the opportunity to tell him wickedly……. Yo, why is Dr. Meng still single?  Is it because your sight is set too high?  This is not good.

Um, although doing this kind of thing is vulgar and lowly but to Chen Ruo Yu, since she is such a lowly person, as long as she can vent her anger, it does not matter to her.

So very quickly, she was able to revive her spirits and extracted herself from the depressing waves of that chance encounter.  Then she actively asked her colleagues and friends around her for help to introduce potential partners to her.

She wants to go on blind dates.

Chen Ruo Yu's roommate, Liang Sisi gave a thumbs-up for her actions.  Unfortunately, she did not think that going on blind dates was a good idea.  "Ruo Yu, let me tell you.  It is very difficult to find love going on blind dates."

"Yes, you can.  As long as you treat your blind-date partner as a must-catch customer…..analyze clearly, focus on the important point and attack the center."

"But you when you talk to your customers, you don’t analyze them.  You just talk blindly to them and say whatever comes to your mind, so the success rate is low."

Chen Ruo Yu was surprised.  She felt this situation sounded very familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before. She shook her head and argued.  "But I am also able to complete my task every month.  This is also another of my strategy.  I'd rather try than give up."

Liang Sisi shook her finger at Chen Ruo Yu.  "No.  No.  This will not work.  This kind of thing, there must be a romantic and beautiful hotbed for it to sprout.  Look at me.  Why is it that every time love will descend on me so quickly?  It is the question of timing.  Time, location, scene and people.  If all these are set in place, a look, a word and you will be able to feel love rushing straight at you."

Liang Sisi is a typical romantic young woman.  The books she reads most are romance fiction stories and the rules inside the books had become her treasured wisdom.

"Let me tell you, in this type of properly arranged blind-dates, you will not be able to find any suitable partners.  It is too old-fashioned.  Everyone who comes will be prepared with their hearts filled with expectations and imaginations.  When they really meet, they will not have any feelings anymore.  The type of fate that comes unexpectedly is more reliable.  For example, at a supermarket, when he reaches for something and accidentally hits you or he is pushing a trolley and accidentally knocks into you……."

Chen Ruo Yu's face became distorted.  Did this Liang Sisi secretly follow her to the supermarket?

"And there is still this…….if you twist your foot on the road and someone is there to help you up.  Otherwise, it is a rainy day and the two of you rushes under the eaves to take shelter from the rain……"

"Sisi, ah……."  Chen Ruo Yu really could not resist interrupting her.  "You really read too many novels.  It is not beneficial."

"You have to believe me.  What I am talking about now is the classic way of meeting.  That, what is it………that movie also had this scene…….a sudden burst of love which enables the two of you to meet.  Just look at me.  The three times that I fell in love was due to chance encounters.  Don’t you think I'm more efficient than you?"

"That burst of love that suddenly happens will also extinguish very fast."  Chen Ruo Yu really sincerely comforted.  "Now I know why every time you fall in love it will not last.  I will learn from your lessons and experiences, thank you."

"Ai, ai…..."  Liang Sisi was not happy.  "Ruo Yu, I am only kindly giving you advice.  Don't talk to me with your poison-tongue, otherwise, you may match up with a poison-tongued man.  What type of lid will match with what type of pot, understand?"

These words really hurt.

Chen Ruo Yu endlessly waved her hand.  "I am not poison-tongued……not poison-tongued.  I am a gentle and virtuous woman who seeks gentle and virtuous men."

Liang Sisi patted Ruo Yu's shoulder and said.  "Go for it, Ruo Yu.  As long as we work hard at it and the methods are in place, there will be gentle and virtuous men.  Listen to me, if during the blind-date you don’t feel anything for the man sitting opposite you, then you should pay attention to your surroundings.  I've read tens of thousands of romance novels and the dozens of love experiences will tell you, love is something unexpected out of the expected."

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

Two days later, Chen Ruo Yu went on a blind date.

The man whom she was blind-dating was called Li Jian.  He was introduced to her by her colleague and was a friend's friend, separated by two layers of relationship.  The man was attached to a cosmetic business company.  Liang Sisi was right.  Before going on the blind-date, Chen Ruo Yu had expectations, thoughts, and imaginations.  So after meeting him, she really did not feel anything for the man.  Since they had met, it was not good to waste.

So Chen Ruo Yu sold insurance to him.  This Li Jian was also a tactful person and also enthusiastically cooperated with her and sold cosmetics to Chen Ruo Yu.

The blind-date became a product marketing business meeting.  A man and a woman held an interesting lively conversation and finally regretted they had not met earlier. 

"It would be nice if I had met you earlier.  I'm sure in your company, you have lots of young female colleagues.  You must remember to help recommend my products and I will gift you more samples later."

"Then you should also help me by keeping a lookout for me.  If you have friends who need insurance, be sure to introduce them to me."

Both of them made promises to each other and they were in a happy mood.  Chen Ruo Yu was feeling especially happy when suddenly beside her, there was a light cough and a man's voice sounded.  "Such a coincidence to meet you here."

It is Meng Gu.

Chen Ruo Yu's face stiffened slightly.  Liang Sisi's set of theory echoed in her ear.

But it is a pity.  This chance encounter is not a love encounter but an encounter with an enemy.

"Dating?"  The enemy asked.

Chen Ruo Yu smiled and did not speak.

"Ah…….this doesn't look like it.  Is this a blind date?"

Li Jian looked at Chen Ruo Yu and smiled politely with her.

Meng Gu also smiled.  He looked at the table laid out with cosmetic samples and insurance materials.  "Your way of dating is quite special."

Why is this person's way of speaking so hateful?!  Chen Ruo Yu felt regretful when she once again remembered she had once pursued this man before.

"Men should remember to pay the bill."  Meng Gu did not seem to notice Chen Ruo Yu's expression and patted Li Jian's shoulder as a reminder.  He waved his hand, said his goodbye and left with his male friend.

Li Jian who was patted on his shoulder was at a loss and could not figure out what had happened.  He could not help but ask.  "Miss Chen, who is that person?"

"A friend of a friend.  Not familiar with him."  Chen Ruo Yu still felt embarrassed that Meng Gu had discovered she was selling insurance to her partner while going on a blind date.  Initially, she found nothing wrong with it but for him to discover this was shameful to her.

"He seems to have good qualities."  Li Jian did not know why he was saying this and his tone sounded a bit sour.

Chen Ruo Yu nodded.  "Well, you're right."  She thought for a while then she could not control herself and complain.  "It is annoying.  It is alright if he goes on a date, why should he bother other people?"

Date?  Li Jian remembered the man who had left with Meng Gu.  Suddenly he realized and let out a sound 'Ah!' loudly.  "So, that is the case."

What is that?  Chen Ruo Yu looked at his expression and quickly understood.  She swears she really does not know what is going on.  This way of degrading someone, she really had not done before.  In fact, she hated this type of behavior but now she was like being merged with the devil himself and could not help but hurt that man.  "He has been found out by you and he really is."

Li Jian nodded his head, anticipating with excitement to hear gossip.  "It can be seen, can be seen."

"What can be seen?"  A gloomy voice sounded beside Chen Ruo Yu and she felt her back grow cold.

It's him again!

Dr. Meng Gu actually came back.
