72: Chapter 72 Can’t Agree to Go Together 72: Chapter 72 Can’t Agree to Go Together Qin Jian had just taken a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind.

He turned around to stop his stride, and saw a pretty young girl standing in front of him.

She was wearing a brand-new dress, her face powdered white, lips painted red, and upon seeing Qin Jian, she extended both hands with a cheerful smile, “You’re Qin Jian, right?

I’m Liang Manman from the TV station.”

Qin Jian did not shake hands with her, but merely glanced at her and said indifferently, “You’re fifteen minutes late!”

Liang Manman was stunned, her face turning red instantly, “I’m sorry, Engineer Qin, I…I was a bit slow.

I will definitely pay attention next time.”

Qin Jian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing that he did not speak nor show any signs of anger or dissatisfaction, Liang Manman let out a sigh of relief.

She turned to glance at the snack stand across the road and said to Qin Jian, “Engineer Qin, have you had breakfast?”

“I have.”

“I haven’t had breakfast yet.

How about you accompany me for breakfast and we can chat in the meantime?” Liang Manman suggested.

“I’ve heard that you have to work on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

Don’t you have work today?” Qin Jian squinted his eyes as he asked.

“No,” said Liang Manman with a shy smile, “Our boss knew I had a blind date today, so he gave me a day off.

That’s why I stayed in bed longer.

You know, a girl can’t skimp on sleep, or the skin goes bad and she ages.”

In the midst of their conversation, the two arrived at the snack stand.

“Hey boss, give me a bowl of soy milk, an egg, a stick of fried dough, and a dish of pickled vegetables!”

“Alright, just a moment!” the boss replied cheerfully.

While waiting for the food to arrive, Liang Manman started chatting with Qin Jian.

“Engineer Qin, can I call you Qin Jian?

You know, you’re quite famous at the research institute.

Everyone says you’re particularly handsome, a match for Pan An himself.

A lot of girls get heart palpitations just hearing your name,” Liang Manman chattered on.

“Do I look that good?” Qin Jian asked expressionlessly.

“Of course!

It’s my first time seeing such a handsome man!” Liang Manman, true to her nature, soon forgot to restrain herself.

Qin Jian’s mouth twitched reluctantly, a response of sorts.

“Engineer Qin, you know what?

Everyone is aware of your dedication at work.

You’re hardworking and diligent, but right now you’re just an engineer with no high-ranking position!

Later on, I will talk to my grandfather.

After we get married, I will ask my grandfather to promote you!

My grandfather is a senior leader in the province!”

“No need!

Promotions should be based on one’s own efforts!” said Qin Jian lightly.

He felt that he had nothing in common with the girl named Liang Manman.

“That’s fine.

If I can’t get promoted, I’ll just go to my aunt in Hong Kong.

She’s doing very well there, and I could go make money with her,” Liang Manman said, completely oblivious to Qin Jian’s aloofness, and continued on.

Her family’s advantageous and prominent status naturally spared her from having to exert much effort!

This was different from Qin Jian, who had reached his current position through his own sweat and hard work.

Thus, with a further understanding of this dainty girl in front of him, he felt increasingly that they were not from the same world; their concepts and values were different!

Liang Manman spoke while eating, but ended up leaving half a bowl of soy milk, half an egg, and half a stick of fried dough.

She took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and said contentedly, “Okay, I’m full!

Let’s go, Engineer Qin, I’ll treat you to coffee.”

Seeing her leave so much food uneaten, Qin Jian’s brows furrowed slightly, “Why didn’t you finish your food?”
