Blind appointment system

Lin Ya, being in this line of work, knew very well how beneficial a great beauty would be for her company!

While quickly tidying her desk, she said, "Quick, invite her in."

Soon, Liu Jiayi pushed open the door and walked in.

Two stunning beauties looked at each other.

Oh my!

So beautiful!

At that moment, both parties had the same assessment of each other.

Liu Jiayi was also surprised.

She had thought the owner of Yaxuan Matchmaking Company Limited would be a middle-aged woman, but she never expected her to be so young and so beautiful!

Wait a moment.

She seemed to know her.

"Are you Lin Ya?"

Liu Jiayi asked in surprise.

"You know me?"

Lin Ya asked, puzzled.

"Then it seems so. I accidentally stumbled upon you before; you were voted Bin Hai City's Most Beautiful Woman."

Liu Jiayi said with a smile.

Still very surprised!

She was truly beautiful.

And she had a remarkable aura.

Lin Ya smiled and said, "Those are just things bored people come up with. Please, have a seat."

A year ago, while Lin Ya was discussing business with a client in a coffee shop, someone accidentally took her picture and posted it on the Bin Hai City forum, which immediately went viral, making her the goddess in countless people's hearts overnight.

Afterward, many people came to her, drawn by her reputation. There were many rich second-generation heirs pursuing her, and even some bosses of large families and major enterprise groups offered high prices to keep her as a mistress.

Later, bored people started a poll on the forum, and she became Bin Hai City's Most Beautiful Goddess.

A year had passed, and things had pretty much settled down.

Liu Jiayi sat opposite Lin Ya. Lin Ya poured her a cup of tea and casually asked, "May I know the beauty's name?"

Liu Jiayi took the water and said, "Liu Jiayi."

"Miss Liu, even someone as beautiful as you needs to go on a blind date?"

Lin Ya asked.

"Alas, it's not really a blind date, it's just..."

Then she roughly explained her situation to Lin Ya.

"I understand. You need a fake boyfriend and want to use my resources to see if you can find a suitable candidate, but..."

Lin Ya pondered, "My male clients are all looking for a genuine other half, so this might be difficult to arrange."

"So I might need CEO Lin to explain clearly and see if anyone is willing to help. Don't worry, money is not an issue."

Lin Ya thought for a moment and said, "Miss Liu is so beautiful, I think even if they knew it was a fake relationship, many people would still be willing to meet you. Tell me your conditions."

Liu Jiayi said, "Worth tens of billions, of course, this can be fake, but the demeanor must be up to par. To have that kind of demeanor, their background probably wouldn't be too bad. Is it quite difficult?"

After all, would someone wealthy still need to go on blind dates through this company?

"There are indeed some quite wealthy and well-connected individuals who have left their profiles with me. I can help you contact them."

Lin Ya said.

"Thank you. Also, he needs to be very handsome."

"Hmm... that should be possible."

Lin Ya nodded.

"Twenty-one years old."

Lin Ya: "..."

"Miss Liu, that might be a bit difficult. How could someone twenty-one years old go on a blind date through my company? He's so young."

Liu Jiayi nodded, "I know. So, if there's a suitable candidate, I hope they at least look very young, like they're twenty-one."

"I'll try my best. When do you need him?"

"Before six o'clock this afternoon."

Lin Ya looked at the time: "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it will work. So, Miss Liu, please try your best as well. I'll give you a reply by five o'clock at the latest."

"Thank you! Then I'll trouble CEO Lin! The money..."

"We can talk about the money once we find someone, no worries."

"Thank you."

Liu Jiayi stood up and shook hands with Lin Ya.

After that, she left her phone number and departed, and Lin Ya quickly began to look for a suitable person for her.

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Xuan was riding his bicycle towards Binhai University.

Ahead, a large crowd of passersby had gathered, as if something had happened, even blocking the road.

Lin Xuan stopped his bike and went to take a closer look.

A black sedan was parked by the roadside ahead. Two men wearing masks held knives, controlling a man, looking extremely agitated.

The surrounding passersby dared not make any rash moves.

"Brother, what's going on here?"

They discussed animatedly.

"It's like this: these two thugs kidnapped this man earlier, threatening his mother to give them one million rmb, otherwise they would kill him. Look, that old woman is his mother. They just came here for the exchange, but that old woman didn't have a million rmb; she came empty-handed. They fell out, and now these two thugs are demanding the old woman immediately give them the money."

"Then why are they at a standoff here? Shouldn't they make a run for it? And they brought the hostage for the exchange? They're daring enough to kidnap so openly? The police must be on their way, right? Why aren't they running?"

"They probably want to get the money and leave as quickly as possible, and don't want to come here for nothing. Who knows? But these are definitely the most arrogant kidnappers I've ever seen. Damn, kidnapping is one thing, but they can cause such a big commotion during the exchange?"

"..."

Lin Xuan also roughly understood the situation.

One of the thugs held a knife to the middle-aged man, shouting at the old woman a few meters in front of him:

"Hurry up, old woman! One million! I know you definitely brought it. Don't be reluctant. One minute, I'll give you one minute to hand it over. Give me the money and I'll leave. I'll release your son immediately. You absolutely must not wait for the police to come here, I'm telling you, just one minute! If I don't get the money after one minute, I'll stab him to death right in front of everyone!"

After speaking, his knife moved closer.

"Mom, save me, Mom."

The middle-aged man cried out.

"Ding... Congratulations, you have triggered the mission [Act of Valor]. You currently have the following choices."

"Choice One: Act of Valor, help the hostage escape. Mission Reward: [Haifeng Group, a Group with a Market Value of One Hundred Million]."

"Choice Two: Mind your own business. Mission Reward: 100,000 rmb."

"Choice Three: Throw a stone at the thugs. Mission Reward: 1,000,000 rmb."

"Choice Four: Act of Valor, help the hostage escape and subdue the thugs as subordinates. Mission Reward: [Haifeng Group, a Group with a Market Value of One Billion]."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Can the system trigger such missions now?

Expanding business?

Of these four choices, Lin Xuan definitely had to try to work towards the highest reward: the Haifeng Group with a market value of one billion!

But...

How to subdue them?

Lin Xuan pondered slightly.

They didn't seem very smart, given that they could cause such a big commotion during the exchange and even brought the hostage. They were probably new to this.

Moreover, looking at the old woman and the kidnapped man's attire, they looked so ordinary.

If you're going to kidnap, you should kidnap rich people.

It seemed they really weren't very smart.

An absurd plan emerged in his mind.

He could give it a try.

"Hurry up! You still have fifty seconds! One million! Quickly! I saw you carrying a briefcase just now, where is your briefcase?"

The thug roared.

"Brother, more and more people are gathering, and the police are probably coming soon. We need to be quick."

The thug on the left said to the thug on the right.

The thug on the right said, "I know, it's fine. As long as she gives us the money within a minute, we'll grab the money and run. We can get away. The police won't make it in time. We'll ditch the car later and hide somewhere deserted. Anyway, no one knows what we look like."

"Alright! It's just... so many passersby, I'm a little scared."

At this moment, Lin Xuan stepped out of the crowd and walked directly towards the two thugs.

"Who are you!? Step back! Quickly step back, or I'll stab him to death!"

The two thugs, seeing Lin Xuan getting closer, pointed their knives at the middle-aged man's neck and roared at Lin Xuan.

However, their bodies were subtly retreating, looking very nervous and scared.

Everyone else was also surprised, looking at Lin Xuan in confusion.

As Lin Xuan walked over, he said, "I was sent by this old woman to have a chat with you two."

Huh?

Both thugs and the surrounding passersby were stunned.

The old woman was also stunned.

"What's there to talk about! One million rmb, as agreed! Hand it over immediately and I'll release him, otherwise, he dies on the spot! You have forty seconds left!"

The thug on the right shouted.

"One million rmb? You two just started in this line of work, didn't you?"

Lin Xuan asked calmly.

"How did he know?"

The thug on the left took a step back and asked the other thug in surprise, clearly a little flustered.

"Shut up!"

The other thug barked at him.

"Lin Xuan?"

Behind the crowd, a beautiful woman looked at Lin Xuan with a slight surprise.
