1. How to chat online?
Lin Xia was squatting in the fabric market bargaining with the boss when her phone suddenly vibrated. “Whiskey on the rocks” sent a message: “Do you like Tarkovsky too?” She looked up at the electronic screen. The man’s profile said he was the CEO of a technology company, and his suit cuffs in his profile picture showed half of his Patek Philippe.
Â
“Of course!” Lin Xia replied in seconds, poking her fingers on the screen quickly, “The long shots in his movies are like Cai Guoqiang’s gunpowder art. They look messy but are actually all calculated. Recently, I made a smart skirt and wanted to use 3D printing technology, but the materials are too expensive, more than 5,000 per meter!” After sending the message, she bit her lip in the chat box – this statement not only expressed the difficulty, but also did not directly ask for money.
Â
At 10 o’clock in the evening of the third day, the other party suddenly sent a paper: “The cost of flexible electronic materials can be reduced to 2,000 per meter.” Lin Xia’s eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately took a design sketch and sent it over: “Look at this gradient starry sky effect, is it more realistic to use holographic projection or liquid metal?” She deliberately drew the neckline into an asymmetrical cut, which was both professional and a little sexy.
2. What should I do to prepare for the meeting?
When Lin Xia rented a Chanel suit in a second-hand luxury store, the boss gave her an extra pearl necklace: “It matches your dress perfectly.” She repeatedly adjusted the position of the cufflinks in front of the mirror and found that the lily of the valley embroidered on the cuffs would glow light gold in the sun, which just echoed the other party’s circle of friends with the lucky charm of Taurus.
Â
The memo was filled with notes:
– Choose a molecular cuisine restaurant with holographic projection for the restaurant (he studied in Paris)
– Buy Porsche limited edition cufflinks as a gift (he has collected the same series)
– Store AI medical news on the phone (his company just received 30 million in financing)
Â
Spray perfume behind the ears and the inside of the wrist, so light that it is almost invisible, it is the “Oriental wood tone” he mentioned. Before leaving, she stuffed a copy of “Neuroaesthetics” into her bag – pretending to open it casually when preparing to eat.
3. How to behave on a date?
The restaurant dome was showing a holographic projection of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. Lin Xia deliberately raised the glass with her left hand, making the swan neck line looming in the light and shadow. “I heard that you are doing AI medical treatment?” She led the topic to his field of expertise, “The smart skirt I made can monitor heart rate. Do you think medical-grade sensors can be made button-sized?”
Â
The other party’s eyes lit up and began to talk about micro sensor technology. When talking about his daughter’s piano lessons, Lin Xia noticed the wedding ring on his ring finger. “There’s a charity dinner next Tuesday…” He didn’t finish his words, and Lin Xia lowered her head to stir the molecular cuisine ice cream: “Oh, what a coincidence, I have to meet the fabric supplier that day.” It gave face and drew a clear line.
4. How to maintain the relationship after the breakup?
When they broke up, he handed over a gift box, which contained a hardcover book of “Neuroaesthetics”. Lin Xia took out a brown paper bag from her bag: “This is an embroidery sample drawn in the old alley of your childhood.” On the way home, she wrote down the details of the date in a encrypted memo:
Â
– He was particularly excited about the 1982 Burgundy red wine
– When he mentioned his daughter, his eyes would wrinkle with laughter
– He mentioned “long-term cooperation” three times but didn’t say anything specific
Â
The next day, Lin Xia sent an invitation letter to the fabric exhibition, with a new design drawing attached. On the morning of the third day, the other party sent a message: “Can the sensor on your skirt be used to monitor emotional fluctuations during piano practice?” Lin Xia laughed at her phone – this is exactly her next plan.
