The Joker's poker card was known to instill fear in many enemies.
On the rooftop outside the Mind Dojo, in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and on the streets of Amsterdam, every appearance of the Joker's poker card was accompanied by bloodshed.
Now, with Qing Chen using the Key Gate rules to severely injure Nikita and Air Fortress, the name of the Joker has completely spread to the West Coast.
All enemies across the Forbidden Sea regard him as one of the most powerful hypothetical enemies.
But now, a big sister with protective chest hair is forcing the Joker himself to tear up his poker card, stuff it into his mouth, and swallow it.
How terrifying.
If the extraordinary world were to learn of this, they would probably think a new Demi-God had been born.
At this moment, the thirty-something-year-old big sister looked down at Qing Chen condescendingly: "I know it's you. Even if you eat the poker card, it won't help."
As she spoke, the big sister squeezed into the seat opposite him: "Why haven't you ordered anything yet? Waiter, order!"
Qing Chen swallowed and tentatively asked, "Big sister, is your family having any difficulties? Like, does your mother need a heart stent, or did your family lose money in business?"The big sister with protective chest hair glanced at Qing Chen while looking at the menu: "Even if you look down on me, you don't have to curse me with your sarcasm."
He took out his phone and handed it over: "Big sister, let's add each other as friends."
But as soon as he took out his phone, it automatically shut down.
Qing Chen was dumbfounded. This big sister had even stumped Yi.
The big sister with protective chest hair ordered a lot of dishes and said, "Many people are pursuing a mature woman like me. Tell me about your family's conditions."
Qing Chen was silent.
Those who liked mature women and those who didn't were silent.
"Waiter, check out," Qing Chen called out, "I need to go to the restroom, but to put your mind at ease, I'll pay the bill first."
The big sister with protective chest hair nodded in satisfaction: "Not very old, but quite sensible."
Qing Chen paid the bill and immediately fled. As he stood outside the tea restaurant catching his breath, Qing Ji came to his side and took out a cigarette.
As a result, Qing Ji was holding back his laughter so much that his hand started to tremble, and he couldn't light the cigarette for a long time.
Qing Chen took the cigarette from Qing Ji's mouth, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it several times: "That's too much. It's already bad enough that you forced me to come on a blind date, but why is there someone like that?"
Qing Ji said with a straight face, "According to medical data, she is one of the healthiest people among the 224."
"She's really damn healthy," Qing Chen sighed. "How did you convince such a proud mature woman to come to the blind date if her family isn't having any difficulties?"
Qing Ji: "I told her that she could order whatever she wanted here, as much as she wanted to eat."
Qing Chen thought to himself, "You really know how to size people up."
"You had three blind dates this morning, and there's still one waiting for you in the tea restaurant," Qing Ji said.
Qing Chen's expression changed: "That big sister is still eating. How can I go in? Why don't we just move on to the next one…"
"Okay," Qing Ji nodded.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly being so agreeable?" Qing Chen asked curiously, "According to your usual way of doing things, shouldn't you be demanding that I go on a blind date with everyone?"
Qing Ji thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. This one is just an appetizer. The ones after this are even better, even more exciting. Let's go, I'll take you to your brother's favorite noodle shop. I didn't eat anything just now, so I'm a little hungry."
Qing Ji and that Head of the Qingshi Clan probably figured it out: mentioning Qing Zhun in front of Qing Chen is the most effective.
Even if it was that big sister with protective chest hair, if you told Qing Chen that Qing Zhun had chosen her for him, he would grit his teeth and chat with her for a little longer…
To be honest, Qing Ji used to think that it was a bit of a waste of talent to personally bring Qing Chen on a blind date. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time on cultivation?
But now, when Qing Ji thought of the two people who had cut in line to go on the blind date in the next round, he suddenly felt that cultivation could be put on hold.
…
…
Return Countdown 38:00:00.
Inside the Yunling Coffee Shop in the Third District, Qing Chen, wearing a mask, pushed the door open, and the door collided with the wind chimes, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
Qing Ji followed behind him: "There are six people in this coffee shop. After meeting these six people, there are still 24 to meet today. You don't need to waste too much time. If you think they're good, it's no problem to take them all at once. Our Qing Family can afford it."
"You're really talking without thinking. Wait, how are there two more? There should only be 22 left," Qing Chen complained.
Qing Ji said calmly, "Two were added temporarily."
What's the situation now? Qing Ji and the Head of the Clan both hope that Qing Chen will have as many as possible, while Qing Chen only hopes that he can get through the 14 days as quickly as possible.
If the Head of the Clan hadn't kidnapped him with a bunch of tragic life stories, he wouldn't have given them a second glance and would have immediately passed them all.
Qing Chen arrived at Table 1.
Sitting across the table was a girl with a beautiful and gentle face, and long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, smooth and dark.
The girl was wearing a dark floral dress that was currently popular in the Federation, a style that Song Niao Niao's new movie had made popular.
She sat quietly in the brown leather sofa, like a delicate figure.
Unsurprisingly, after shaking off the shadow of the big sister with protective chest hair, Yi came back to life and started sending messages to Qing Chen: Add her, add her!
After seeing Qing Chen, the girl took the initiative to stand up and said, "Hello, my name is Li Kerou. I am a junior at Qing Family Public University, majoring in materials science. I am currently the president of the student union at the university and a track and field long-distance running champion in City 5. I am 173 cm tall and weigh 48 kg. I am very happy to meet you."
Li Kerou's performance made Qing Chen a little embarrassed.
The three people he had met on blind dates before were either in debt or short of money, and the girls seemed more or less unwilling.
But the one in front of him was much more proactive than the others.
Qing Chen sat down opposite her and said, "Does your family have any difficulties?"
When he asked this question, he even felt like he was a mentor on "The Voice of China," always asking, "What is your dream?"
Absolutely.
However, Li Kerou shook her head: "My family has no difficulties. If we did, we wouldn't be able to afford to send me to Qing Family Public University. Both of my parents are professors at public universities. I come from a family of intellectuals, which can make up for your shortcomings in this area, and can also make up for the Qing Family's shortcomings in terms of reputation in the cultural field."
Qing Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the first girl to mention his Qing Family background. He didn't know how Qing Ji had explained things to the girl, but he must have used something that the other party cared about most to attract her.
Li Kerou continued, "Mr. Qing, I have always been exercising. I have abs, straight legs, and a butterfly back. This is the most standard body shape, and my height advantage will not hold back in terms of genetics. In addition, if you need it, I can stop doing research after graduating from university and become your virtuous helper, taking care of all the trivial matters in the family, and becoming the best life assistant by your side. My minor in statistics, finance, and administrative management can also provide some help when assisting you."
Li Kerou continued, "I also know very well that everything I currently have can only be considered as a fledgling in society, still very immature, but what I want to show you is my learning ability. Anything you need, I can learn. Positions, knowledge, everything is possible."
Qing Chen was stunned by these words. He could clearly feel that Li Kerou had come prepared.
She must have rehearsed what she just said at home many times.
Everything was exceptionally straightforward, explicit, and precise!
But what Qing Chen couldn't understand was: "What are you after? We've only just met."
Li Kerou said seriously, "I want to change the fate of my entire family through my marriage with you."
Qing Chen inwardly gasped.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized the horror of the Qing Family's crown prince selecting a consort from Li Kerou.
The other party was clearly hinted at his Qing Family heir status, so she immediately displayed all her advantages like a peacock spreading its feathers.
This was an ambitious person, a pure ambitious person.
Just like the imperial concubines in palace dramas who represent the rise of their families, her vision was no longer about daily necessities. She wanted to help her family rise through Qing Chen.
Such people are always ambitious and always energetic.
The word "depressed' never exists in their worldview…
Qing Chen had never dealt with such a person before, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's add each other as friends and talk later. I still have other people to meet. I understand what you mean. Let's talk slowly in the future."
This kind of tricky character should be left to Yi. Anyway, Yi likes to deal with all kinds of people, chatting with so many girls every day like a schizophrenic.
But just as Qing Chen was getting up, Li Kerou stood up and stopped him, moving her body closer.
Qing Chen quickly retreated back to his seat: "Miss, let's talk nicely. Please sit back down first."
Li Kerou returned to her seat and pursed her lips: "Do you not like me? What's wrong with me?"
Qing Chen said patiently, "You're very good. It's me who's not good."
"You're also very good," Li Kerou said seriously, "I've studied your deeds thoroughly and dream of you every night. I admire you very much. Being able to be at ease in various Conglomerates and still be able to return to the Qing Family to take up the banner, you are my ideal partner. Don't worry, I will serve you well. I will treat the identity of a wife as a career to strive for."
Qing Chen had a headache. How much did Qing Ji reveal to this girl?
In fact, if it were other core descendants of the Conglomerate, Li Kerou would be the person they needed most. Feelings didn't matter; what mattered most was a wife who could help their career.
This wife not only had to be an expert in internal affairs and obedient but also an excellent politician.
But the key was that Qing Chen was completely different from those people.
Qing Chen thought left and right, making up an excuse to dissuade her: "I can understand your thoughts, but you also have to understand that entering a wealthy family is like entering a deep sea. It's impossible for someone like me to be monogamous. There may be Xiao San, Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu in the future. Why should a girl like you break her head to come here?"
Li Kerou became serious: "There are no Xiao San, Xiao Si. They are all my dear colleagues."
Qing Chen: "???"
He really couldn't understand this ambitious person's worldview!
Just as Qing Chen was confused, silvery laughter came from the side.
Qing Chen's expression changed, and he stood up, looking over the partition to see Yang Yang sitting at the next table!
And this table number was the second person he was supposed to meet on this blind date!
Yang Yang was also here for a blind date.
Damn it.
No wonder Qing Ji said in the morning that the ones after this would be even more exciting. So, he was waiting for him here?!
He suddenly turned to look at Qing Ji, only to find that the other person was looking at the ceiling with both eyes, completely indifferent.
Qing Ji is harming me!
Yang Yang looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "So, you're always Makka Pakka with me, but you came here for a blind date? Tell me, what did I do that made you dissatisfied?"
As she spoke, Yang Yang imitated Qing Chen's tone in a sarcastic manner: "There may be Xiao San, Xiao Si, and Xiao Wu in the future… So, I will have so many colleagues in the future!"
Qing Chen's toes were digging into the floor. This social death came too suddenly and unexpectedly.
He was clearly just trying to dissuade Li Kerou, but he had suddenly become a handle in Yang Yang's hands!
"Cough cough," Qing Chen quickly said, "I'm just going through the motions. There are other hidden reasons. I'll explain it to you later."
"I won't listen!" Yang Yang said, "You quickly go on a blind date with her, and after you finish, we'll go on a blind date. Although I don't have a university degree and I'm not the president of the student union, I also have abs and straight legs. It's not like anyone doesn't have them!"
As she spoke, Yang Yang glanced at Li Kerou provocatively.
Unexpectedly, Li Kerou looked at Qing Chen's anxious expression and Yang Yang's declaration of sovereignty, and immediately understood.
This ambitious person stood up and bowed gently to Yang Yang, then said to Yang Yang, who was three years younger than her, "Sister, I won't fight with you."
Now, Li Kerou had even stumped Yang Yang!
Li Kerou said, "Sister, you must have known Qing Chen earlier and have deeper feelings. I am willing to be the younger sister. It doesn't matter. I will do the things you don't want to do."
Yang Yang was stunned. She looked at Qing Chen and pointed at Li Kerou: "Where did you find this fairy? She's really flexible, almost ready to serve me during my postpartum care."
Qing Chen laughed and cried: "I didn't find her… Besides, you don't have postpartum care to serve. Don't talk nonsense!"
Yang Yang looked at Li Kerou: "Can you serve postpartum care?"
Li Kerou said solemnly, "I can learn."
Yang Yang: "…"
Qing Chen: "…"
The ambitious person is a little crazy…
Qing Chen said seriously to Li Kerou, "Miss, you really don't have to be like this. I can't accept you."
Li Kerou was a little disappointed: "Is that so…"
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded seriously. "Thank you for your love for me, but I hope today's events will not cause trouble to each other's lives."
"Okay," Li Kerou nodded, thinking that she had already added him as a friend, and there might be room for redemption in private.
She packed her things and walked out.
As soon as she left, Li Kerou received a message from "Qing Chen': "The official wife was here just now, so it wasn't easy for me to say anything. We can chat privately online…"
Li Kerou's eyes lit up. Men were indeed like this.
Things would definitely turn around!
