Coincidentally, the upscale restaurant Shen Lei took Li Xiao Yue to was where Na Jun was on a blind date with a girl.
Li Xiao Yue was a bit angry when she saw this, and turned to leave.
Shen Lei winked at Li Xiao Yue and said with a smile, "Don't you want to hear what they're talking about?"
Li Xiao Yue thought for a moment and followed Shen Lei into the restaurant, circled around, and reached a blind spot from Na Jun's perspective.
Na Jun was now focused on his blind date and didn't see Shen Lei and Li Xiao Yue.
In the corner of the restaurant, Na Jun sat at a table facing a woman in professional attire.
This woman was a certified accountant, seemingly sharp and capable, and like Na Jun, enjoyed planning her life.
However, as the conversation deepened, it gradually became apparent that they had vastly different understandings of marriage.
"I think we can implement a 50/50 system in the future."
The certified accountant woman spoke first, "If you live in my house, you need to pay me rent;
Of course, if you want me to live in your house, I'll pay you rent too.
That's fair, right?"
Na Jun frowned slightly, "What if we have children?
How do we calculate the cost of their education?"
"If the child lives in your house, then the cost of education should naturally be borne by you."
The woman replied without hesitation, "My house will be rented out, and the rent belongs to me.
After all, it's my private property."
Na Jun took a deep breath, "I understand your thinking, but I believe marriage isn't a transaction.
Marriage is about finding a partner to support each other and live together.
If we always nitpick about every little thing, then what's the point of this marriage?"
However, the certified accountant woman didn't agree with Na Jun's point of view, "I believe true love can withstand calculations.
Moreover, those who advise others not to be calculating are often the most preoccupied with these details themselves.
They worry that others might start calculating first, thereby limiting their own space."
Na Jun was speechless, he felt that the difference in opinions between him and this woman was too great.
This blind date, which he had initially held high hopes for, ultimately ended in failure.
Li Xiao Yue couldn't help but giggle in Shen Lei's ear when she heard this.
"This woman is practically another Na Jun, no wonder she's an accountant, she really knows how to calculate.
If Na Jun married this woman, he'd be calculated to death."
Although Li Xiao Yue was ready to be with Shen Lei just a few days after breaking up with Na Jun,
she was still unhappy with Na Jun's actions of starting to go on blind dates just a few days after their breakup.
After the first blind date lady politely left, Na Jun remained seated in the corner of the restaurant, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Before he could gather his thoughts, another potential blind date partner appeared in his line of sight.
This newly arrived woman had fair skin and stunning looks, exuding an air of elegance, and it was clear at a glance that she was rich and beautiful.
"Hello, are you Na Jun?"
The wealthy beauty extended a hand with a smile, shaking Na Jun's hand, "I'm the one here for the blind date with you today, my name is..."
"Nice to meet you."
Na Jun interrupted her words, trying to appear natural.
"Can we order food first? I'm a bit hungry."
After they sat down, they began browsing the menu.
Following his principle of frugality, Na Jun intended to order some reasonably priced dishes.
However, the wealthy beauty had a penchant for expensive items.
"I love a medium-rare, high-quality 1.8-jin pork tenderloin, it looks so delicious."
The wealthy beauty said softly, her finger gliding across the menu, "And this pan-fried French foie gras, black truffle mushroom cream soup, two portions of cheesecake, oh, and a bottle of Pinot Noir."
Na Jun was stunned, he hadn't expected this seemingly gentle woman to order all these expensive delicacies and fine wines.
He couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: Could this be a fake date?
The wealthy beauty noticed Na Jun's displeasure, but she didn't mind, she simply elegantly savored the food.
After the meal, she gently wiped her lips, looked at Na Jun, whose face was somewhat gloomy, and said,
"You might not be accustomed to this kind of consumption, but this is my everyday life.
My background wasn't mentioned in the blind date profile, but I have the ability to afford this."
Na Jun awkwardly smiled, unsure how to respond.
The wealthy beauty continued, "We can split the bill, this bottle of wine you didn't drink, I'll put it on my tab.
Don't feel embarrassed, I'm just using this method to screen out "phoenix men" from my blind dates."
Upon hearing the words "phoenix man," Na Jun's face instantly turned even uglier.
He felt deeply humiliated, his sense of superiority, which had always been present, vanished in an instant.
Na Jun, who had always felt superior because he graduated from Peking University, had core competencies, and owned a large apartment in Beijing, was actually educated and looked down upon on his first blind date.
Na Jun had always lectured Li Xiao Yue, criticizing her for not being ambitious and being a second-rate university graduate.
Experiencing the same feelings as Xiao Yue himself, he finally understood how unpleasant it was, and how good Xiao Yue truly was.
Li Xiao Yue and Shen Lei witnessed everything from afar.
Li Xiao Yue curiously asked Shen Lei, "What happened just now?
Why is Na Jun's face so gloomy?"
Shen Lei chuckled, recounting everything that had happened to Li Xiao Yue.
Li Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Na Jun, who always thinks highly of himself, never imagined he'd face such a situation, being called a phoenix man, haha..."
Shen Lei couldn't help but smile, Li Xiao Yue wasn't angry at Na Jun for going on blind dates behind her back, she could even laugh about it,
which meant she had already let go of her feelings for Na Jun and no longer considered him her boyfriend!
Li Xiao Yue's feelings for Na Jun were now close to zero!
However, they hadn't reached complete zero yet.
Shen Lei decided to add fuel to the fire.
He looked deeply into Li Xiao Yue's eyes, "Do you know why Na Jun came here for a blind date?"
Li Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"
Shen Lei shook his head and sighed, "Na Jun is truly a phoenix man after all.
He's always looked down on you for being a second-rate university graduate, he always thought you were unambitious, lounging around all day, and simply not worthy of being his wife.
He wants to find a woman from a higher social class, at least someone who's a good match for him..."
The words "higher social class" stung Li Xiao Yue, but she had to admit that while Shen Lei's words were harsh, they were the truth.
Na Jun had indeed always looked down on her education and job.
Shen Lei continued, "I can guarantee that Na Jun will come looking for you soon.
This failed blind date made Na Jun realize that he's not suited for women from the same social class.
Because these women's consumption habits are scary, and they won't submit to him, he can only "downwardly compatible"..."
The four words "downwardly compatible" pierced Li Xiao Yue's heart, making her remaining fondness for Na Jun disappear completely!
"Humph! Even if I'm a loser, I'm a loser he can't ignite!"
Li Xiao Yue didn't even bother with Na Jun, who was now sipping red wine alone, she directly got up and left.
