Xie Mi pushed open the door and entered the private room.

A handsome 185 cm muscular hunk was already waiting for her.

He wore a tight white T-shirt that clearly outlined his eight-pack abs.

The very first sentence of his self-introduction was, "Hello, I'm a sports major."

A genuine, 185 cm, eight-pack abs sports guy.

Yet Xie Mi was left stunned and charred on the spot.

Okay, the tight shirt was to show off his abs, which she understood, but what was the deal with these skin-tight pants hugging his crotch and those slip-on loafers?

Did the Production Team misunderstand her ideal type?

[Pfft]

[If it were me, my psychological defense would've shattered on the spot]

[Lmao, Production Team, can you guys act like human beings?]

[I specifically went to take a look next door, and their blind-date partners all look completely normal from the outside. What does this mean? It means the Production Team didn't pull any pranks regarding the ideal type; in other words, the Production Team genuinely thinks this is Sister Xie's ideal type]

[Sister Xie: 6]

"Hello, what's your name?"

As a polite social butterfly, Xie Mi was not someone who judged a book by its cover, so she immediately sat down and began to converse with him.

"My name is Wang Yaozu."

Wang Yaozu proudly lifted his chin. "I've seen you before at a roadshow event. What's your name?"

[Here it comes, here comes the first provocation!]

[To come to this show and still ask what her name is, this is undoubtedly telling her, 'you aren't popular at all, I have no idea who you are.' Such blatant provocation]

Sure enough, Xie Mi got ticked off.

"So many people are shouting at the roadshow venue, what's wrong with me calling out twice?"

Wang Yaozu: "?"

[?]

[...??]

[Sis, you...]

Wang Yaozu almost lost his composure, but his good professional training made him calm down immediately, putting on an arrogant expression.

"Our family has three large flat-panel apartments in the city center, and both my parents are corporate executives. I'm the only son in the family, and our total family assets add up to eight figures. Supporting you is completely enough. So if you want to marry me, you'll have to quit the entertainment industry; I don't like women who show their faces in public."

[Holy crap, the classic of classics]

[Just listening to this has already made me angry]

[With our Sister Xie's mental state, shouldn't she just wreck him directly?]

"Sorry, you might have a misunderstanding of me."

Xie Mi gracefully picked up her coffee and took a sip. "Not only am I a drop-dead gorgeous megastar, but I'm also a reader of the Nobel Prize in Literature, an Yadea electric vehicle owner, a resident of the city where Tsinghua and Peking University are located, and a participant in the graduate school entrance examination."

"So, if you want to marry me, you'll have to get removed from the family genealogy. I don't like being a son."

Wang Yaozu: "??"

[Nobel? Tsinghua and Peking? Graduate student? Holy shit, Sister Xie is awesome!!]

[Wait]

[Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter]

Wang Yaozu refused to be outdone and quickly stirred up a new topic. "I think the three betrothal gold items for marriage can be bought in copper, representing eternal union. The underlying meaning is more important than the price tag, don't you think?"

Xie Mi: "Makes sense, so a wife can be found in silicone, since they're glued together like paint and lacquer."

Wang Yaozu was choked with anger, pointing his finger at her and stammering "you, you, you" for a long time.

Xie Mi grinned. "Or find a dead person, representing life and death together."

Wang Yaozu was so angry he nearly fainted.

The urgent voice of a staff member rang out in the earpiece. "Hold steady, hold steady! Your task is to provoke her, not get provoked by her!!"

Hearing these words, Wang Yaozu finally snapped back to reality-he was recording a show, not on an actual blind date.

Calm down, he needed to calm down.

"Let's talk about the topic of having children." He quickly found a new entry point. "I don't favor boys over girls, I want both boys and girls. You have to give me a boy and a girl to make the character 'good'."

With such a sensitive topic, he didn't believe Xie Mi wouldn't get angry!

Xie Mi calmly drank her coffee. "Go hang yourself, to spell out the character 'dick'."

Boom!

A one-hit kill, Wang Yaozu was angered into a faint.

Looking at Xie Mi's heart rate again, it didn't even exceed 70, steady as a rock.

The audience was completely won over.

[My sister's strength is terrifying]

[If I had half of Sister Xie's eloquence, I wouldn't always encounter weird blind-date guys]

[Whoever got a rush of satisfaction, anyway I got a rush of satisfaction]

Xie Mi finished her blind date the earliest and prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat.

Only to hear a burst of frantic roaring coming from next door.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

"F*ck! F*ck! I f*cking f*cked!!"

Following that was Qiu Chengye bursting through the door, rushing downstairs like a mad dog. The heart rate watch on his wrist went wild with frantic alarms.

Good grief, one had gone crazy.

If she remembered correctly, in the original text during this segment, the person Qiu Chengye encountered was an extremely possessive yandere girl who strictly forbade him from going to clubs, drinking, or having any female friends.

For a playboy like Qiu Chengye, this was indeed fatal.

Walking up to another private room door, Xie Mi heard passionate and stirring speeches echoing from inside.

The door was ajar, and through the crack she could see Liu Woxing and her blind-date partner.

Liu Woxing sat upright as always, smiling as she listened to the other person's speech.

The guy was talking big with self-righteous pride while lecturing her with a patronizing tone.

"You said you're very interested in corporate management? Then let me test you, what are the constituent elements of corporate strategy? What is the concept of corporate management? What are the basic forms of corporate-owned enterprises?"

Seeing Liu Woxing stay silent, he raised an eyebrow. "Can't answer, can you? You don't understand any of this at all, right? Just honestly say your hobby is shopping, and I won't laugh at you."

Liu Woxing's gaze flickered slightly, still maintaining a smile.

Yet Xie Mi noticed that the hand she placed under the table was clenched into a fist, and the heart rate shown on her watch was steadily rising.

Xie Mi couldn't help but recall the character setting for Liu Woxing.

The youngest daughter of the family, who had studied the four arts and etiquette since childhood, was instilled with the idea that a girl should be poised and decorous, so she always maintained a smile, but in reality...

In this segment of the original text, Liu Woxing did not know the simulated blind date was a prank by the Production Team, and had also forgotten the setting that the alarm would sound if her heart rate exceeded 120. Therefore, the moment the alarm went off and her anger was exposed, the image of a lady developed cracks, and for the first time she revealed a flustered and helpless expression.

"I heard you work at your family's company, and you're even an executive? Not that I'm criticizing you, but even though that's your family's industry, professional positions should still be left to professional people. What's the use of you sitting in that position just by relying on your identity? How about this, let me test you, your company..."

The fist Liu Woxing hid under the dining table tightened continuously, and the heart rate displayed on her watch was about to break through the critical threshold.

Suddenly, a cold hand grasped her wrist, covering the watch's display screen.

Liu Woxing was slightly startled, and in a daze, she understood something, breaking out in a cold sweat of lingering fear.

"This gentleman, you just said you like reading classic literature, right?" Xie Mi stood by her side at some point, the corners of her lips curved upward, her words permeated with deeply engrossed mischievousness.

"Then let me quiz you."
