Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 71 - Peeking at the Blind Date

Seeing that it was Tian Niu, Jian Ying immediately brightened up, pointed at him with a laugh, and said, “Tian Niu, oh Tian Niu, Qin Jian calls me gossipy, but I’ve just discovered someone even more gossipy than I am!”

Tian Niu chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, “Engineer Jian, this isn’t what you’d call gossipy!

I call this…”

Jian Ying laughed, cutting him off and changing the subject, “What did you come here for?”

“I came to deliver documents to Engineer Qin.”

“Our Section Chief Qin isn’t here!

He’s out on a blind date today!

I’ll take it for you,” Jian Ying took Tian Niu’s documents and placed them directly on Qin Jian’s desk.

Turning around, he saw Tian Niu was still there, looking quite excited, and couldn’t help but ask with amusement, “What’s up?

Why are you so excited to hear that Engineer Qin is on a blind date?”

Tian Niu leaned in with a mischievous air, “Engineer Jian, don’t you want to see what the ‘perennial iceberg’ Engineer Qin looks like on a blind date?”

Jian Ying stared at him for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter, “You really are a piece of work!

Let’s go!”

Right on time, at nine o’clock, Qin Jian arrived at the agreed-upon location.

He stood tall and straight outside the Xinhua Bookstore, looking around for a long time, but he didn’t see the girl named Liang Manman; however, his handsome appearance attracted many admiring glances from young girls.

Qin Jian checked his watch again; it had been over ten minutes, and a frown began to form between his brows.

Not far away, Liu Minhui was running late.

Seeing that upright figure, her heart suddenly started pounding.

“Manman, that Engineer Qin really is handsome!” her friend Zhang Xiaojun couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Handsome he may be!

But do you really want to get involved with him?

I heard he’s bad luck for wives!” Liu Minhui said.

“Not at all,” Liang Manman played with her hair, a shy smile on her face, “Director Zhang said those are just rumors!

We’re all materialists, how could we believe in that kind of thing!”

After all, she had heard of Qin Jian’s reputation at the research institute long ago.

Just one chance encounter had left her heart fluttering endlessly!

Her father was an old friend of Director Zhang, who surely wouldn’t set her up for disappointment.

“Alright, alright, look how happy you are!

Go on, then!

We snuck out, so we should get back,” Liang Manman’s two friends pushed her forward.

Qin Jian had always disliked people who were not punctual.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes without seeing anyone show up, he turned around to head back without another word.

This made Tian Niu, who had sneaked along to watch, very anxious, “Why isn’t that girl showing up yet?

Making Engineer Qin wait for so long!”
