Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 517: See the real deal tomorrow at noon (new book content)

Li Qing said, "Most Huaxia people, or rather most people in the world are similar to me. But you're different. You probably come from a good family and I don't see why you need to go on a blind date. Although you... hmm, you're already twenty-six, almost twenty-seven, right? But there should be plenty of people pursuing you."

Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Li Qing continued to scoop up another piece of meat and stir it in the oil sauce: "More importantly, we were born differently. My consumption habits are completely different from yours. Maybe I'd bargain at the market for a few cents less, while you don't even blink at spending tens of thousands."

Li Qing spread his hands: "Matching social status, although it seems to have disappeared in the new century, has always existed."

Chen Chencheng showed a hint of surprise on her face: "I didn't expect you to have such a clear understanding of yourself."

She sighed deeply, staring at Li Qing with nostalgia: "When I was in school, there was a guy like you who pursued me for three years. I never agreed, and he eventually gave up. Later, I realized that his shadow was everywhere in my life."

Li Qing, who was about to put the meat in his mouth, suddenly paused, his face a bit heavy.

"What you said is a bit scary. Should we get a master to perform some magic?"

Chen Chencheng: "No wonder you look decent but are still single."

Li Qing replied bluntly: "Same to you, I heard you have brain issues, so that's why you were reduced to blind dating."

Just joking, since deciding not to have much interaction with Chen Chencheng, why should he be accommodating?

After all, he wasn't eating her family's rice.

Chen Chencheng glared, irritated and speaking in dialect.

"What nonsensical crap are you saying, how can you talk like this!"

Li Qing shrugged, didn't say anything back, but seemed interested: "I hear you've never been in a relationship?"

"Have you been?"

Li Qing fell silent for a moment, as if it was hard to speak out.

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Chen Chencheng got interested: "Tell me, you look quite puzzled. As a psychologist, I'm quite authoritative."

Li Qing, with a solemn face, said: "Back then, I still lived in Jinniu District. My girlfriend and I were lying on the bed, and because of a short circuit due to overloaded voltage from electricity theft during mining downstairs, a fire happened. If she hadn't warned me, I would have perished in the flames with her."

Chen Chencheng was moved: "I see. What did she remind you in the end?"

"Bang!"

Then, there was a deathly silence, accompanied by a few couples nearby who were eavesdropping, fumbling to hold onto their things.

Chen Chencheng didn't react for a while, and said in bewilderment: "What does that mean?"

Li Qing shook his head, not intending to explain to Chen Chencheng, understanding the joke or not doesn't matter: "It's nothing, let's hurry up and eat, I have things to do after."

"It's a holiday, what could you possibly have to do alone in Shu Capital?"

Chen Chencheng was increasingly dissatisfied with Li Qing; she had never met someone eager to end things quickly.

Through tiny gestures, a hint of impatience between his brows, Li Qing wasn't lying about not having any interest in her, not even a bit.

This self-claimed top-tier beauty was experiencing psychological disparity.

She leaned back in her chair, with a cold smile on her face, looking at the slightly skinny Li Qing.

"I saw your photos, you seemed different three months ago."

She leaned forward, maintaining pressure: "Are you consuming something unusual?"

Li Qing raised an eyebrow, her aggressive stance was obviously picking a fight.

He decisively put down his chopsticks, frowned: "Are you a police officer?"

"No."

"Did I pay for you?"

"No."

Chen Chencheng frowned: "What are you trying to say?"

"Then why are you checking my background? Even if you aren't a police officer or checking backgrounds, you shouldn't look like you're auditing me."

Looking at Li Qing with a mocking 'who do you think you are' expression, his face bearing a slightly provocative smile, Chen Chencheng couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.

She snorted, folding her arms, brimming with confidence.

"You know, you'll be single forever; based on your behavior, language, your EQ is completely negative. Now I understand why you're thirty and still single."

Li Qing calmly said: "I also understand, with your professional habits, I don't think any man can withstand your interrogations. No wonder you're single, I think with your habits, you'll stay single forever."

"Haha, you're really something else."

Li Qing cooled down: "Isn't it bad to insult people?"

Chen Chencheng: "Is it? But I think the person sitting across from me is unlike any human. Regardless of what you say or do, you lack any sense of responsibility as a man. I think you aren't one, how about we become sisters?"

Yaya Boxing was truly sharp, a set completely reduced Li Qing to someone not quite a man, narrow-minded.

This woman really has a sharp tongue.

Seeing Li Qing silent, Chen Chencheng chuckled lightly: "What, did I hit a nerve?"

Li Qing said indifferently: "Don't use your thinking to challenge normal people's intelligence."

With that, he abruptly stood up and extended his hand.

Chen Chencheng's expression changed slightly: "What, are you about to hit me because you're pissed off?"

Taking a napkin from the table's edge to wipe his mouth, Li Qing sat back down.

"How could I dare touch you, I'm afraid I'd go bankrupt buying hand sanitizer."

"You..."

"Waiter, the bill!"

Li Qing, looking at Chen Chencheng's alternating expressions of green and white, paid while speaking: "Nice meeting you. I think we won't have much interaction in the future, so there's no need to exchange contact info. This meal is on me."

"I don't need your charity!"

Chen Chencheng sneered, asked the waiter how much, then paid her half, grabbed her bag and walked out without looking back.

Li Qing looked at Chen Chencheng's departing figure, shrugged, paid his portion, sat down to eat some side dishes, and then leisurely left.

It's odd, clearly it should count as a friendly conversation, yet when it comes to Li Qing, it always ends in a squabble.

They're flirting, I'm just bickering.

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh deeply, gee, is my negotiation skill so bad, is my EQ really negative?

Standing at the hot pot restaurant entrance, Li Qing put his hands in his pockets, wore his hat, and was about to leave when he suddenly halted, staring at a figure.

He bent down beside the grass and picked something up, quickly approaching, his voice slightly trembling: "Li Yue?"

The woman instinctively turned around to look at Li Qing, full of confusion: "Are you calling me?"

Li Qing stood stunned, looking at the unfamiliar face and dazed for a moment, finally full of apologies saying: "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
