I Have A Dual World Seal - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Accompanying His Friend on a Blind Date
At 11 sharp, Lu Zheng met Tong Muxuan at Dongshan Park subway station.
As expected of a programmer, he wore a typical plaid shirt and jeans, but he had washed his hair before going out.
“How many days have you been working? Why do you have a belly now?” Lu Zheng stepped forward and patted Tong Muxuan’s stomach.
“Go away!” Tong Muxuan smacked Lu Zheng’s hand away. “My company has a gym, and I work out every day. Unlike you, who stayed at home for a month, you… F* ck, you have a six-pack?”
“Don’t laugh at me. I didn’t do anything this month except exercise.”
“Tsk, tsk, are you preparing to change your career?”
“To what?” Lu Zheng didn’t know how to react.
“Don’t tell me that there’s no aunty in the gym who’s interested in you?” Tong Muxuan pouted. “With your pretty face and your figure, any older woman would drool at the sight of you.”
“Nah,” Lu Zheng said disdainfully. “I’m not interested in older women.”
“Amazing. You’re so confident.” Tong Muxuan gave him a thumbs up. “So you prefer to be their son-in-law!”
“Just you wait, one day I’ll become your father-in-law!”
“Get lost!”
The friendship between college classmates was the purest. After not seeing each other for a month, Lu Zheng and Tong Muxuan were still so close.
“Let’s talk business. How did you get to know her? What does she look like? Where is she from? Is she nice?”
“We’re not getting married.” Tong Muxuan did not have the energy to complain. “My parents introduced her to me. She’s also from Haicheng City and graduated in the same year. She works at a bank.”

“Tsk, tsk, a government servant!”
“Hehe, my salary can crush her!”
“You’re awesome!”
“Oh, right.” Tong Muxuan changed the topic. “How’s your job-hunting going? Did you find anything?”
“No, I’m ready to live off a woman.”
“I’m serious.” Tong Muxuan pouted. “I’m on good terms with my department’s leader. I’ll find a chance to introduce you.”
“No need.” Lu Zheng waved his hand. “I have an income.”
“What kind of income? Do you take on freelancing work or write online novels?” Tong Muxuan said in disdain.
“You don’t respect web novel writers?” Lu Zheng’s eyes widened. “A hundred million a year, mister!”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
“No,”
Lu Zheng instantly admitted defeat. He had to admit that many losers couldn’t even earn enough money to change their underwear.
“It’s fine anyway. I really do have an income. Besides, if I really need help, I’ll definitely ask.”
“Really?”
“Yes!” Lu Zheng nodded with certainty.
“That’s good.” Tong Muxuan nodded and suddenly said seriously, “then, did I affect your work by calling you over today?
After all, you have the most customers during the weekends.”
“Get lost!”
Fulong Square, Second South Gate.
“You guys are not meeting at the restaurant?”

“I can tell that you’ve never dated before. You must meet her first and then discuss it face to face.” Tong Muxuan chuckled. “Let me teach you!”
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin. He felt that the dating scene after one started working was more complicated than when he was in university. This was the third time that Tong Muxuan had made him speechless.
Should he draw his sword?
“They’re here.” Tong muxuan nudged Lu Zheng and gestured to the distance. “The one in red is mine.”
Following Tong Muxuan’s gaze, Lu Zheng saw two figures, one in red and one in white, walking toward them.
The girl in red was about 1.6 meters tall and was a head shorter than Tong Muxuan. She had delicate features and tender skin.
The other girl in a white dress was a little taller. Her makeup was exquisite, and it could be seen that she was also pretty. Her long hair that fell over her shoulders was slightly curled at the end, making her look a little flirtatious.
Well, they were all above average. “Tong Muxuan?” “I am. Hello, beautiful ladies!” “This is my best friend, Luo Yun.” “This is my good friend, Lu Zheng.”
After exchanging names, Lu Zheng found out that the girl was called Su Mengmeng.
This name…
How should he put it? It sounded pretty good, but Lu Zheng couldn’t help but think about how Su Mengmeng would introduce herself when she was old.
“What are we having for lunch?”
The first test came as expected.
“I’ve checked. Qing Yu Hotpot in the square is not bad.”
Tong Muxuan immediately replied, “if you think hotpot is too greasy, Akai Japanese Food is also highly rated. In addition, the popularity of Gangcui Restaurant and Haihua Restaurant are also quite good.”
“Hiss!”
Lu Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt that if he did not have the jade seal, he would be single forever.
Su Mengmeng and Luo Yun asked for Lu Zheng’s opinion out of courtesy, and Lu Zheng expressed that he had no objections.
Thus, the four of them happily decided on the location for lunch.
Haihua Restaurant.
“Luo Yun is a local. She said Haihua is good.”
Lu Zheng nodded. He had just taken a look at his phone. The two girls did not choose the most expensive Akai Japanese Food. The average cost of dishes in Haihua was only slightly higher than that of Gangcui.
The first interaction was a test to Su Mengmeng and Tong Muxuan.
One by one, they were seated, and the menu naturally fell into the hands of the local expert, Luo Yun.
There were four dishes and a soup, including meat and vegetables.
The dishes were served very quickly. They looked unique and exquisite, but the food was not to everyone’s taste.
However, their goal was not to eat.
While they were eating, Lu Zheng was listening to the conversation between Tong Muxuan and Su Mengmeng.
They talked about their hometown, their families, their studies and life in Haicheng City.
In the end, they talked about buying houses and having a career in Haicheng City.
Houses!
“A house in Haicheng is indeed expensive. As a programmer working in a big gaming company, I have a high salary. However, it will still take me a few years of hard work to afford the down payment for a house.”
“Moreover, it’s said that programming is a young people’s industry, and 35 years old is the limit.”
“Of course, I’m also learning more languages and updating my knowledge to ensure my competitiveness in this industry.”

“At the same time, I’m not willing to work forever. So, other than working and studying during the day, I’m also making my own games in my free time.
“If I succeed, even if it’s just a small profit, a house will no longer be a problem. Even if I’m unlucky, I have enough experience and confidence to not be eliminated from this industry.”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Tong Muxuan in a new light. He didn’t expect him to be so mature!
Obviously, Tong Muxuan’s rationality had moved Su Mengmeng.
Most importantly, Tong Muxuan was pretty good-looking. He was more than 1.75 meters tall, refined, warm, and considerate.
In addition, he had a practical plan for the future. As long as Su Mengmeng was not looking for a wealthy husband immediately, Tong Muxuan was definitely promising.
“Of course.” Tong Muxuan then changed the topic. “Things are unpredictable. The only thing that’s certain is that even if I don’t make a lot of money, my parents can still provide me with the money for the down payment of a house in Shanghai.”
Lu Zheng: (-_-)!!
You’ve ruined your image in one second!
