"Oh that's good," Uncle Yang said, "then would you do a favor for me?"
Feng Ting eyed him suspiciously.
Catching the look in her eye, the man laughed awkwardly.
"My old superior has a unmarried grandson. He has tried many tactics to introduce girls to him, but none worked. He asked me to recommend a girl but I have no daughters . . . "
"And so you thought of me." Feng Ting finished. "You want set me up with a stranger."
"Feng Ting, this man is actually quite good in many aspects . . . " But lacking in some others, he finished in his head.
"So is this like a blind date?" Feng Ting questioned.
"In a way. We have discussed and decided that you will accompany him for a week for lunch— if you agree that is."
"So we're just eating lunch together," Feng Ting surmised. That didn't seem hard, she could just treat it as two friends on an outing. "Who is he?"
Uncle Yang cleared his throat. "Jiang Tianming." Feng Ting frowned. Although she had barely been in the city for a few days, she had made note of key figures.
"The CEO of Jiang Corporation?" Uncle Yang nodded.
Feng Ting frowned. Jiang Corporation was the king of the business industry in the city. Its CEO was rarely made public appearances, and pictures of him were practically nonexistent. Rumor was that he controlled the company with an iron fist. Ruthless. Cold. A literal demon.
And most importantly . . . wasn't he gay?
"Isn't he gay?" Feng Ting asked. Jiang Tianming had basically no scandals and all known connections were male. A living monk. Though there was a trending rumor that he was caught on photo hugging a man intimately . . .
Uncle Yang replied, "According to his grandfather he isn't."
So maybe he hasn't come out yet . . .
"And CEO Jiang agreed to this?"
"His grandfather said he agreed."
Ah . . . maybe using her as coverup for his sexuality?
"Hmm alright then." Uncle Yang treated her well so she had no reason to disagree. Besides, it wasn't like she was going to actually date the guy so it was fine.
"I will send you the food everyday. You just need to deliver it." Uncle Yang said. "We initially intended for the girl to make the food herself, but I don't recall you ever cooking . . ." Feng Ting agreed. She could bake well, but the only acceptable dish she know how to make was instant noodles.
Jiang Corporation . . .
"Bro!" Jiang Wuhan burst into the CEO office waving a file in hand.
Behind him, Assistant Wei Guang followed with a helpless look. "Boss he . . . "
"Hmm, I picked it up when he dropped it."Jiang Wuhan finished shamelessly.
Assistant Guang nearly puked blood. This traitor had snatched it out of his hands after he explained what it was!
Jiang Tianming sighed, and gestured for Wei Guang to retreat.
"Bro, who is Song Feng Ting?" Jiang Wuhan looked at his big brother with shining eyes like a puppy. "It's sister-in-law right?!"
Jiang Tianming's eyes never left the document in his hand. "En."
Jiang Wuhan's eyes lit up. Hallelujah! Brother found the girl! His life was turning for the better. The man was overjoyed thinking about bringing up this fact during the next family dinner. Grandfather wouldn't pester him anymore. Mother would be more focused of getting brother married that setting up blind dates for him!
Ignoring his idiotic brother who was evidently stuck in his fantasies, Jiang Tianming held out a hand for the file.
"Bro, why did you agree when the old man asked you to meet up a girl for lunch then?" Jiang Wuhan passed him the file. Jiang Tianming started to look over the information disregarding his brother.
"Wait . . . don't tell me the girl is . . . "Jiang Wuhan's mind quickly connected the dots. Brother had actually agreed to the set up from the elder for once. Meaning he was interested in the girl. So the girl must be sister-in-law!
"En." Jiang Wuhan widened his eyes. Brother actually confirmed! Though he must admit, sister-in-law and brother did have fate to be together. They just met as strangers a few days ago and now set up on a blind date!
He went on a long chatter that Jiang Tianming ignored. The demon CEO turned his attention to the file.
The information about Song Feng Ting was standard. However, her gathered personality didn't match up to the bold character from that night. And there was no indication she ever studied computers or business.
His eyes fell to a piece of information. An orphan. Adopted as a baby into the Song family.
His brow furrowed.
