Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1153 Poisonous Milk

Young people, who can resist watching a live-action version of Road Rash? Not to mention Miss Yuan, even Lin Mo and the others were watching intently.

After hearing this, Zhang Wei felt he had missed out on a huge opportunity; he had missed such a brilliant battle.

"Sister Yuan, is this why you left me standing in the park for over an hour?" Zhang Wei said speechlessly in a cold drink shop.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan spread her hands and said, "This is a real-life version of Road Rash, so tell me whether we should leave you hanging or not!"

Besides, you only waited an extra hour, but we gained happiness. The price of your extra hour of waiting was the happiness of six people. One effort, six rewards—isn't that worth it?

Zhang Wei:

"Alright, Wei Ge, you have one last chance today. Have you figured out how to meet the girl yet?" Lin Mo said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei shook his head repeatedly. If he knew how, wouldn't he have been single long ago?

Seeing this, Lin Mo sighed helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, let's discuss a method yesterday. You can try it out."

First of all, the restaurant reservation is already made. You two will go for lunch later. When you're eating, ask the restaurant staff if there are any dietary restrictions. If so, be mindful of them; otherwise, feel free to eat whatever you like.

Secondly, let the other person choose, and then you can add two more dishes yourself, paying attention to the balance of meat and vegetables. Remember to order a cold drink for them separately.

Of course, these are all secondary. The main thing is the conversation that follows. Since your talent for dating is practically zero, let's not talk about emotional intelligence or play games this time. Let's just get straight to the point!

I heard from Xiaoyue that the remaining woman is the oldest of the five people you chose; she's thirty years old this year.

Since that's the case, let's go straight to the point and show the most authentic side of people!

Zhang Wei: "How do we demonstrate it?"

Lin Mo:

"You're stupid. Fine, just say what you really think. Tell me your most honest situation openly: your home address, education, job, income, and future plans for buying a house, whether you'll take out a loan or pay in full. Don't even hide the fact that Li Shiya recently connected with you and that you're doing self-media work. Tell me everything."

Then if you think the other person is good, after dinner you can ask them directly, "I think you're great. These are my qualifications. If you think I'm a good person, let's try getting to know each other. If you think they're not quite right, let's just say so, and I won't keep you waiting."

Did you understand?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei asked with some doubt, "Is this all you need to do?"

"Fine my ass, you don't seem to understand what I mean. Simply put, if you like someone, you should show that you are honest and steady, and that you have no bad intentions."

By the way, let's put the problem out in the open from the very first time. If it works, great; if not, forget it. Let's not waste everyone's time.

You've done everything you can, and you've shown respect for women during meals. While it may seem like the choice is in her hands, it's actually the best approach you've taken. After all, you don't have the ability to pursue her. This is called playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, understand?

This is Plan A, which the group came up with yesterday, and it's the method with the highest success rate. After all, for Zhang Wei, who isn't good at this, it's better to stay put than to take action; it's better to let the other party make the choice directly.

If the other party agrees, then Zhang Wei has started the negotiation and at least entered the next stage. The most difficult part is over. If they don't agree, there's no loss.

It's better than having Zhang Wei try to win over the girl's heart.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up: "That's great, that's great! I like this kind of simple approach. I'm going all out today. It's just confessing directly, the worst that can happen is rejection."

Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded: "That's right, it's not shameful for a grown man to be rejected!"

Just then, Miss Yuan spoke up from the side: "Actually, I still think there's a problem with this plan. Fatty, Sister Yuan has a Plan B. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Wei: ? ? ?

"There are backup plans too, listen to them, the more the merrier!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately raised his hand and said, "Sister Yuan, I think we should forget about it!"

“The fat man said he heard it, why are you interrupting? What if he thinks my plan is better?” Miss Yuan retorted.

That's right. Yesterday they came up with two plans. One of them was the straightforward plan A that he just mentioned, which was discussed and agreed upon by several people.

As for Plan B, it was entirely Miss Yuan's own idea.

“That’s right, Lao Lin. Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. What’s there to be afraid of? I might not even need it!” Zhang Wei said.

He's now very interested in any method that can increase his chances of finding a partner.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him: "Believe me, you'll regret this!"

Zhang Wei: "No, don't worry, Sister Yuan, you can tell me!"

Miss Yuan: "My plan is the ultimate dating technique for men and women—the Three Waves Mantra!"

Zhang Wei: ? ? ?

"Sanlang... Wait a minute, I feel like I've heard of this thing somewhere before!"

Miss Yuan: "The so-called Three Waves Mantra is: romance, waste, and raving."

Specifically, it can be divided into three steps. First, be romantic by bringing a large bouquet of roses, the kind with ninety-nine flowers. Then, book a romantic restaurant and have the waiter adjust the ambient lighting to pink. Find someone to play the piano or violin to create a romantic atmosphere.

Secondly, it's a waste of money. Sister Yuan will take you to rent a sports car later, and we'll buy her a bag while we're at it. That'll take care of everything. After dinner and shopping, we'll go straight to the club tonight and show off your singing talent. Sing your best song and win her over. Maybe you can get to base tonight?

"How about it, want to give it a try? Don't worry about the money, Sister Yuan will support you. Restaurant, bags, club, car rental—Sister Yuan will cover it all!"

Is Miss Yuan generous? Of course she is, but the reason she's so interested is only partly because she's generous to her friends. Another reason is her wicked sense of humor; she wants to see if the Three Waves Mantra works.

After all, Lin Mo and Wang Chu both have girlfriends. Although no one wants Chuan Mei, he's not stupid and has enough emotional intelligence. He doesn't need the Three Waves Mantra. Only Zhang Wei is truly the perfect test subject.

She only needs to spend a little money to satisfy her curiosity. Where else can you find such a good deal!

"Um, Sister Yuan, I think we should forget about it!" Zhang Wei shook his head somewhat awkwardly upon hearing this.

Although he had no experience in dating, he wasn't stupid; he could still judge which of the two plans was better or worse.

To be honest, given the current social climate, Miss Yuan's plan has a higher chance of succeeding, since no one dislikes having a wealthy partner.

But he has to actually be rich. If he were, he would have used it already. By relying on Miss Yuan to temporarily pretend to be rich, even if he gets her to be with him, what happens after that? How will he maintain his rich persona?

You know, Miss Yuan had given him the key to her G-Wagon before to go on blind dates with girls, but did it work out? No, it didn't. So he had long given up hope on this tactic and preferred to just be straightforward and honest.

He wants to get married, not to cheat on girls and become a scumbag, so it's better to be honest.

"No, this is such a brilliant plan! Why don't you think about it again, Fatty?" Miss Yuan urged, clearly unwilling to give up.

Zhang Wei repeatedly refused. He was afraid of not being able to play the straight game well, let alone pretend to be a rich man. He was already feeling guilty, and in his current state, even if he wore a dragon robe, he wouldn't look like a prince. It would be too embarrassing if the girl found out about him during dinner.

Subsequently, no matter what Miss Yuan said, Zhang Wei just wouldn't take the bait, and Miss Yuan could only sigh repeatedly in the end.

Soon it was noon. The group split into two teams and went to a restaurant they had arranged to meet nearby. Lin Mo and the others went in first and found a spot that was neither too close nor too far to order food and eat. After all, it was noon, and even a strategist like Lin Mo needed to eat!

Zhang Wei stood at the restaurant entrance waiting for the woman to arrive. Fortunately, she was not late and arrived ten minutes early for the agreed time.

"They're here! Look!"

Inside the restaurant, several people were sitting in their seats when they saw the two people meeting outside. Miss Yuan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"Shh~ Sister Yuan, keep your voice down, don't get excited, it won't be good if someone finds out!" Lin Mo quickly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wei and his companion walked in. Zhang Wei glanced at them instinctively, and Lin Mo and the others lowered their heads in unison. They had come just to watch the drama unfold.

Soon, the dishes on their table were served. As soon as Miss Yuan saw the food, she immediately forgot most of Zhang Wei's matter and began to concentrate on eating.

Of course, Lin Mo and the others weren't idle either, and they all started eating. However, although they were eating, their attention was all on Zhang Wei. Although they couldn't hear what the two were saying, it seemed that the atmosphere between them was good, at least it was a smooth start.

Indeed, Zhang Wei followed Lin Mo's instructions, asking the woman if she had any dietary restrictions, and then letting her order food. The two then chatted about work and hobbies.

During this time, Zhang Wei truthfully explained his situation. Although he was still a little nervous, at least he didn't make any mistakes.

Soon, more than an hour had passed, and Miss Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey? It seems like Fatty has a chance this time!"

Lin Mo: "There should be, but I don't know if the woman is willing!"

Meanwhile, having almost finished their meal, Zhang Wei remembered the final stage of his plan and decided to confess his feelings directly, saying:

"Well, that's my situation. I have a pretty good impression of you, and I'm thinking of getting married. I see you're not getting any younger. If you think I'm okay, then let's give it a try. I just feel like if we don't get married soon, we'll both be too old!"

The woman was taken aback by his words, and immediately said with some displeasure, "No, who are you calling old?"

“We’re both thirty and 27. I think we’re both of that age. Age isn’t a problem. I have a colleague who hasn’t even graduated from university yet, and he’s already found a female boss who’s several years older than him. He’s the one who got a younger woman. We don’t count,” Zhang Wei said frankly.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face darkened visibly.

"So you're implying that I'm an old cow eating young grass?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just feel that we can't keep dragging this on at our age. Besides, I'm not some young upstart. If you keep putting it off, things will get complicated."

He suddenly realized halfway through his sentence that he might have said something he shouldn't have.

"You're not a tender young girl, but if I keep dragging this on, I'll really become an old cow, won't I?"

Zhang Wei waved his hands repeatedly, and the next second, a glass of water was splashed on his face.

The crowd not far away:

"Sister Yuan, you're such a jinx!"

"Bullshit! You're the one who's jinxing us!"
