Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2195: Chapter 1868: Splitting Hairs While Dreaming

The matchmaking event setup at the factory began suddenly.

Yun Duo hauled a whole trunk full of decorations from the town, filling up the back seat too, just as Aunt Zhang Hong instructed:

[It needs to have a bit of festive cheer, but not too flashy, and not too attention-grabbing, or else everyone will be too busy taking photos to chat with each other.]

With such abstract requirements, it’s fortunate Song Tan let her handle the online shopping herself, otherwise, it would have been a hassle for everyone.

Aunt Zhang Hong really grasped the essence.

Didn’t the city’s matchmaking events initially take place in Forest Park? I heard everyone said the park arranged tons of activities this year, like having flower-covered paths and people in ancient costumes welcoming...

Everyone was busy sightseeing and taking photos, holding hands with costumed characters, forming heart shapes, so who would look twice at ordinary matchmaking prospects?

That’s why it was changed to a modest restaurant.

Aunt Zhang Hong wholeheartedly agreed.

Some people’s looks aren’t great, but after a few glances they become acceptable. However, if there’s always someone looking better beside them...

Oh dear!

For the men and women working for Lao Song’s family, she worried endlessly! But thinking about the other arrangements she made, Aunt Zhang Hong suddenly felt emboldened, raising her voice while urging others to inflate balloons.

Everyone involved felt terribly pained.

There were many people; you’d think it wouldn’t be exhausting, yet Aunt Zhang Hong’s arrangements were meticulous!

It’s one thing for the tasks to be detailed, but she was so thrifty, unwilling to buy an electric balloon pump for 500 balloons, all relying on manual inflation!

If everyone divided the tasks, it was possible to complete, but everyone had their own tasks too!

Aunt Zhang Hong had a particularly reasonable argument:

"Oh my, seeing you’re all still single, it’s obvious how difficult it is for young men to find a suitable partner nowadays. It’s not that you’re picky, but if you don’t have some standards, why are you still single?"

But this is reciprocal; if you have standards, the girl who meets your standards also has hers. We know nothing now, so we can only strive to improve ourselves.

How? It’s intangible, so we start with the environment.

Let’s tidy up the factory dining hall inside and out, set up the surroundings; we can’t let people feel we’re half-hearted right when they arrive, even the best impressions would be discounted, regardless of aesthetics, it’s about whether the intention is sincere.

Then there’s personal grooming.

Get your hair cut if needed, apply face masks—no masks? Find your female colleagues to borrow some.

Have clothes cleaned and ready, smelling nice, and shoes too, scrub them clean.

This was tough, truly hard to achieve.

"Aunt, look at the weather, clothes washed last week are still wet this week, how can the shoes be dry?"

"Oh dear!" Aunt Zhang Hong was exasperated with their stubbornness: "If you don’t have any, buy them!"

We don’t buy branded shoes, now there are brand shoes on special sale, after discount under 100.

"You all want to date, but aren’t even willing to spend on self-grooming?"

She had a point.

So Yun Duo hauled shipments from town, most were clothes and shoes for these people.

After such grand preparation, those initially intending to present themselves solemnly, mixed among them, seemed like it was only natural, becoming more composed.

Self-taught Sister also wanted to find a suitable guy—actually, she leaned towards finding a security guard at the farm, she had never been in love, didn’t know how to connect! Seizing this opportunity to chat a bit, how natural.

Having spent long in the workplace, she even honed her makeup skills, and now wanted to set up beforehand, pulling out an eyebrow shaping knife, offering to fix everyone’s eyebrows.

Good heavens!

After finishing work, everyone had to queue up and sit on stools, waiting for Self-taught Sister to wield that shiny knife on their faces.

Strangely, many who initially thought it was just a routine couldn’t help but start taking things seriously.

Everyone’s mindset surprisingly unified:

I’ve put in so much effort; someone I like has to see it, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be all in vain.

Amidst all sorts of expectations, the heavens favored us. Aunt Zhang Hong checked the calendar daily, finally finding a cloudy weekend amid constant rain forecasts.

What a perfect weekend!

No matter if the weather forecast is accurate, at least now it looks rain-free. And the days before and after are brief showers—a high chance of good weather!
