Chapter 234: Chapter 144: Found the Reason for the 10x Bride Price and Dowry

"Thank you, Aunt Li. I’m free tomorrow, so I can meet."

Chen Mo quickly replied to Aunt Li.

The last time Aunt Li brought this up, he heard a "ding."

That meant something unlucky was bound to happen.

So, of course, he had to speed things up.

’Mmm, this is the most I’ve ever wanted to go on a blind date.’

"Okay, I’ll arrange a specific time with the girl in a bit. I’ll let you know once it’s set."

Aunt Li replied.

"Thank you for the trouble, Aunt Li."

Chen Mo thanked her sincerely.

Although his intentions weren’t pure, and the woman might have her own issues, Aunt Li, the matchmaker, was genuinely putting in the effort. ’She’s a really great person.’

"It’s no trouble at all. I just feel like you two kids are fated to meet..."

Aunt Li didn’t find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, she was enjoying it.

A little while later, Aunt Li sent him another message.

"It’s all set. Meet at this coffee shop tomorrow, Saturday, at 2:00 PM."

Aunt Li had set the time for him and sent the location of a coffee shop.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li."

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback when he saw the name of the coffee shop.

’Isn’t this the same coffee shop where Shen Qingying asked to meet me on Monday?’

’As expected, girls love going to these trendy spots with a nice ambiance.’

After putting down his phone, a look of anticipation for tomorrow’s ’blind date’ appeared in his eyes.

’I’m really eager to see how this will all turn out, and what I can get out of it.’

After sitting in front of his computer and reading some financial news for a while, Pan Kejia sent him a WeChat message.

"Did she ask you out today?"

"Nope."

Chen Mo knew who the "she" Pan Kejia was referring to.

Xia Shiqing indeed hadn’t asked him out, but Chen Mo had a good idea why.

’She probably took her online friend’s advice after their last chat and is holding out for something big. Counting from that day, the time isn’t up yet. When the time comes, she’ll definitely ask me out.’

"So, Carlton after work?"

Seeing Chen Mo’s reply, Pan Kejia immediately sent her request for the Carlton.

"Alright."

Chen Mo smiled, typed his reply, and sent it.

’Even though I’ll have to use protection this time, I can take things a bit slower. No need to race like last time, terrified of any... casualties.’

After staying at home for a while, he saw it was almost quitting time, so he grabbed his keys and left.

He drove into the Carlton Hotel’s underground garage and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

The receptionist who helped him check in this time wasn’t the same young lady as before; they must have switched shifts.

But when he took out his Purple Gold VIP Card, her attitude immediately became as respectful as the previous receptionist’s.

Arriving at the deluxe standard room, Chen Mo had only been lying down for a few minutes when he heard a knock on the door.

’That was fast.’

Chen Mo smiled, walked to the door, and opened it.

The moment the door opened, Chen Mo was hit by a wave of fragrance.

Pan Kejia, dressed in her office suit, eagerly threw herself into his arms.

"In such a hurry?"

Chen Mo casually closed the door, then wrapped his arms around her slender, fragrant body.

"We just had a meeting this afternoon, and I’ve been officially promoted to supervisor!"

Pan Kejia’s charming face couldn’t hide her happiness. She wrapped her slender arms around Chen Mo’s neck, looking up at him with excitement and gratitude.

"Congratulations."

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked down at the beautiful face so close to his and offered his congratulations with a smile.

He now understood why Pan Kejia was so impatient today, throwing herself into his arms the moment he opened the door.

’So it was because of the promotion. She’s finally achieved the goal she’s been fixated on for so long.’

"This is all thanks to your help..."

Amidst her happiness, Pan Kejia hadn’t forgotten who had pushed her into the supervisor position.

Her beautiful eyes, full of affection and gratitude, gazed at Chen Mo as she stood on her tiptoes and leaned in for a kiss.

...

It was still early, so there was no dazzling cityscape to admire below.

But that only allowed for more focused, immersive ’driving,’ leading to a better performance.

It also helped one perform better.

It was just that the weather in Modu had been terrible lately, with frequent heavy rain and air pollution that came and went.

Chen Mo felt as if it was sometimes raining normally, and sometimes raining acid rain.

But this time he didn’t ’stroll in the rain,’ so he used an ’umbrella’ every time.

It’s just that after the ’acid rain,’ the ’umbrella’ would get contaminated, and he’d have to switch to a new one.

Fortunately, Pan Kejia had the foresight to prepare plenty of ’umbrellas.’

So even though they had to frequently change ’umbrellas,’ it didn’t significantly affect the experience.

After coming in from the ’rain,’ the two of them cuddled together for warmth.

"Hmph. After the meeting today approved my promotion to supervisor, Old Pan even called me to take credit for it."

"If I had to wait for him to help me become supervisor, it’d be way too late."

"My own father can’t even compare to you, my ’daddy.’ You’re way better!"

Pan Kejia lay in Chen Mo’s arms, complaining to him about her own father.

It’s the comparison that really stings.

They both had the same ’status,’ but with Chen Mo as a benchmark, Old Pan instantly paled in comparison.

"Wow, you’re such a filial daughter."

Chen Mo patted her perky bottom, unable to hold back a chuckle.

’Now *that* is some next-level filial piety.’

’I wonder if Old Pan would totally lose it if he knew his precious daughter was roasting him like this.’

"But it’s true."

Pan Kejia nuzzled her head against Chen Mo’s chest and whined coquettishly like a lazy little cat.

She was truly happy today, having finally taken a huge step forward.

After becoming a supervisor, although she was still one rank below Xia Shiqing, she had greatly closed the gap between them.
