NOVPUBChapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Matchmaker’s Red Envelope_1 Chapter 1158 -1158: Matchmaker’s Red Envelope_1 “Mmm.” Peggy Lewis replied, “I believe in him too.”
***
Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova truly are a married duo, their synchronicity is unparalleled.
Cindy was just joking with Peggy Lewis.
She wasn’t so polite with Peggy, but she was embarrassed to ask Lyke Zhekova for a matchmaker’s red packet.
But Adrian Zhekova was different.
Cindy hadn’t even mentioned it to Adrian, and he went and sought out Lyke on his own.
Lyke received a message from Adrian on Whatsapp: “Fourth Uncle.”
Lyke raised an eyebrow: “What’s up?”
Adrian didn’t beat around the bush at all: “Matchmaker’s red packet.”
Lyke: “…”
“What the hell?” Lyke was stunned by Adrian’s audacity, “Why are you asking me for a red packet?”
“Matchmaker’s red packet.” Adrian explained patiently to Lyke again.
“I know you’re asking for a red packet.
...
What I mean is, why are you asking me for one?” Lyke asked.
He was dating, such great news.
Instead of congratulating him with a red packet, Adrian had the gall to ask him for one?
Where was his shame?
“Isn’t it thanks to Cindy that you met Peggy?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Peggy and Cindy are best friends, you wouldn’t have met Peggy at her competition,” Adrian said.
“So, Cindy is indeed your matchmaker for you and Peggy.
Without her, you wouldn’t even have met Peggy,” Adrian continued.
Lyke could agree with that.
“However, I am thankful to Cindy, not you,” Lyke responded disdainfully.
“First of all, Cindy and I are husband and wife, what’s hers is also mine.
She’s in class right now and can’t talk to you, so you can thank me in her stead.
I’ll pass along your gratitude later,” Adrian confidently retorted.
Lyke: “…”
He laughed, was it too late to remove Adrian from his Whatsapp friends now?
“Moreover, without Cindy, you wouldn’t have met Peggy.
Without me, you wouldn’t have met Cindy.” Adrian logically explained, “If I hadn’t married Cindy, you wouldn’t have had any connection with her, and you wouldn’t know how to meet Peggy.”
“In the end, it’s all thanks to me.
I am the starting point of this chain.
Everything happened because you met me, and eventually met Peggy through Cindy,” Adrian declared.
“…” Lyke grated his teeth, “Does Cindy know you’re extorting me under her name?”
“How can you call it extortion.” Adrian could not agree with this, “You give me a red packet, I’ll forward it to Cindy.”
Lyke replied to Adrian with a curt “hehe”.
He directly opened Cindy’s profile, entering their chat window.
Without saying anything else, he sent Cindy a 200 yuan red packet.
Not that he was stingy, but Whatsapp red packets can only send up to 200 yuan at a time.
Any amount over 200 would have to be done through a transfer.
However, Lyke felt the transfer didn’t feel the same as a red packet.
It was the thought that counted, it didn’t matter how much money it was.
You could even write a custom message on the red packet.
Directly writing “Matchmaker’s Red Packet” on it, Lyke sent it to Cindy.
At this point, Cindy was in class and didn’t have time to check her phone.
She left her phone on the kitchen counter, where she could see the pop-up notifications on the lock screen at any time.
That way, she wouldn’t miss anything important.
It was a dessert class, and she was currently kneading dough, seeing her phone’s lock screen light up on the side.
The notification showed that it was a red packet sent by Lyke.
She had flour on her hands at the moment, plus in order to ensure food cleanliness, she couldn’t pick up her phone yet.
So, even though Cindy was incredibly curious, even contemplating trying to unlock her phone with her elbow, she forced herself to hold back.
They were learning how to make Chinese pastries.
Finally, she put the pastries in the oven.
After washing her hands, Cindy immediately picked up her phone to look.
Seeing the red packet from Lyke with the words “Matchmaker’s Red Packet” written on it.
Surprised, Cindy raised her eyebrows and laughed, “Fourth Uncle, is this in appreciation for introducing you to Peggy?”
“Yes.” Lyke replied instantly.
Cindy wondered, didn’t Lyke manage Majestic, how did he reply so quickly?
Was he so free today?
Or was he celebrating being single no more and decided not to work today?
However, Cindy didn’t bother being polite with him and replied with a smile, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
She was indeed the matchmaker for Lyke and Peggy.
“Go ahead and accept it, if you don’t, Adrian will come to ask me for it.” Lyke said, “I feel better giving it to you than to him.”
Cindy: “…”
Just look at what Adrian had made someone become.
Thus, Cindy accepted the red packet sent by Lyke.
After the acceptance, Lyke screen-captured it and sent it to Adrian.
Lyke: “Sent.”
Adrian: “…”
Fine, whether it’s the wife or the husband, it doesn’t matter.
As for the 200 yuan red packet, Adrian didn’t care.
He just enjoyed the feeling of asking Lyke for a red packet.
At this point, Wallace Martin knocked on the door.
Lyke originally wanted to share his joy of success in the Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four group.
He had been talking with his family just now and hadn’t had the chance to share in the Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four group yet.
He didn’t have time now, he would have to do it later.
“Come in.” Lyke said.
After Wallace came in, he said, “CEO, it’s time for the meeting.”
Lyke nodded, and looked at the time.
It was already 10:30.
“Tell them to compress the meeting within an hour.
Pick out only the important issues, don’t waste time on trivial matters.”
“Also, for the important issues, highlight the main points.
Spare me the boasting, excuses, all the empty talk.
I can hear them, you know?” Lyke scoffed.
He just didn’t feel like calling them out on it.
“Yes.
” Wallace nodded and relayed Lyke’s meaning to the group of department supervisors through their group chat on his phone.
Then, Wallace asked Lyke, “Do you have anything scheduled next, CEO?”
There was nothing on his itinerary.
Lyke laughed.
Sure enough, even though Wallace was an attentive assistant and very thoughtful, as a singleton, he had no idea how busy someone in love could be.
Lyke looked at Wallace with a pitiful gaze: “I’m going to Peggy’s company right after the meeting.
I’d rather arrive early than to keep her waiting.”
