American Comics: BOSS Invasion

“Sorry, I'm late. The traffic was a bit heavy!”

Yang Tao offered a slightly embarrassed but polite smile, then sat down opposite Qi Shan.

“I'm sorry, I only got the news two hours ago, so I quickly tidied up and rushed over. Oh, you must have been introduced by Auntie Liu, right? Nice to meet you!”

With a few simple words, Qi Shan understood the current situation. The identity he was currently impersonating was definitely in the middle of a blind date just a few minutes ago. He just didn't expect the blind date partner to be Yang Tao.

Qi Shan nodded naturally, reaching out to shake her hand.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Yang Tao.”

Since the female lead has arrived, there's no need to rush to leave now. Qi Shan politely took the menu and ordered some snacks and coffee.

He clearly had a very youthful appearance, but he exuded a calm temperament from the inside out. His gaze was peaceful, yet it made him someone not to be underestimated.

She felt like he was a young master from a wealthy family taken straight out of a TV drama.

Wait, young master? Isn't he a bit too young?

“Mr. Qi Shan, may I ask a question? How old are you this year?”

This question really stumped Qi Shan. According to his time of awakening, he should be fifteen or sixteen hundred years old, but his appearance had always remained at eighteen.

Qi Shan hesitated slightly and said, “I'm already twenty-six this year. Miss Yang asking about my age as the first question is a bit of a surprise!”

Yang Tao's face was very familiar. Only in very subtle places did she differ from the tall beauty surnamed Gao. But it was clear that in terms of body proportions, the woman in front of him was even more outstanding.

“It's nothing, it's just that you look so young!” Yang Tao was slightly surprised, thinking to herself, how does this kid maintain himself? He's already in his twenties, but he still looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

“I just look young. Since we're already talking about it, let me introduce my situation first. I'm twenty-six years old this year and a second-generation overseas Chinese from England. However, I've been studying in Beijing since middle school, and I've been living in Beiping ever since.

My parents are both musicians and have worked in symphony orchestras their whole lives. They are currently retired and are touring around with their old friends while traveling the world. They won't be coming to China anytime soon!

I currently have two apartments in Beiping. One is in the Second Ring Road, where I'm temporarily living, and the other is a newly acquired villa just outside the Second Ring Road near the Third Ring Road boundary, which is currently being renovated. As for cars, I currently only have a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it's currently being serviced.

I've only been in two relationships before this.”

Qi Shan was casually making things up, and Alice immediately received the order list. She needed to handle everything the boss mentioned within forty-eight hours.

However, for Alice, it was obviously very simple.

Yang Tao's mouth was already wide open in surprise.

What is this man in front of her? This boasting is a bit too much. A second-generation overseas Chinese? And from England?

Why don't you just say you're European royalty? Parents are musicians who travel the world all year round? Do you think this is a Japanese anime novel? The male and female leads' parents are either diplomats or musicians, always abroad, only showing up to give money?

The most outrageous thing is that he actually dares to say he has a villa in Beiping. An ordinary small apartment would be fine, save some trouble and empty a few wallets, and you might be able to pay a down payment. Do you know what a villa is? And he said it's within the Third Ring Road, that's an astronomical figure!

Yang Tao cursed inwardly, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, always maintaining a smile on her face, trying to appear sincere and listening, but unfortunately, she couldn't maintain it for more than a few seconds, and the corners of her eyes were already starting to twitch.

Big brother, with your conditions, why are you even on a blind date? Auntie Liu is just a neighborhood committee busybody. Even if she boasts about having a wide social circle, she can't possibly reach a social elite like you.

Are you trying to show off to me like this? Isn't that a bit too much?

Qi Shan, of course, saw what Yang Tao was thinking, but he didn't intend to explain.

“Does Miss Yang have anything else she wants to ask?”

“No, your conditions are too good. I haven't even reacted yet. May I be so bold as to ask, how could a man with your conditions be reduced to a blind date! You're not joking with me, are you?” Yang Tao opened her eyes wide.

Qi Shan made a helpless expression and didn't say much.

Yang Tao endured it and nodded, “I see, Mr. Qi is indeed a social elite. My conditions are far worse than yours. I'm just an ordinary Beijing girl. There's only my mother at home, and I don't have many relatives and friends. The main thing is that I have an older sister, and we're all just wage earners!

Oh, you should have heard Auntie Liu talk about my job, right? It's just an ordinary hotel lobby manager… Forget it, forget it, I can't go on!”

Saying this, Yang Tao couldn't help but deflate. She picked up the coffee in front of her, which had already cooled down a bit, and took a big gulp.

“Let me be honest with you, I was forced into this blind date by my mother. I really had no choice, so I reluctantly met you, just to give Auntie Liu some face. As for anything else, please don't overthink it!”

Qi Shan smiled and said, “It seems we both have the same idea. That's good too. It's best if we're frank with each other so we don't hold grudges. Actually, I'd really like to find a girlfriend, and I don't have any requirements for the method. If I can really meet someone suitable on a blind date, I wouldn't mind starting a relationship directly. So after hearing what Auntie Liu said, I came to take a look. Miss Yang has a straightforward personality and dares to speak her mind, which I admire very much!”

Yang Tao quickly waved her hand, “Stop! Don't praise me! We just met by chance. It's best if we can be frank with each other and not hold any grudges.

What? I still have some things to do at work. I sneaked out this time, so if there's nothing else, I'll go back first!”

Qi Shan stood up: “Okay, I'll see you out!”

He touched his body, threw down two hundred-yuan bills, and sent Yang Tao out. Seeing her drive away in her small car and merge into the traffic, he smiled slightly and slowly walked into the crowd!
