32 years old, with a 985 bachelor's degree, P8 in a major company, and an annual salary of 1.5 million. Sounds like a standard elite template, right?
But what you don’t know is that I missed all the windows in order to pursue my career. Before the Chinese New Year last year, I had gone on blind dates exactly 50 times. It’s either that I don’t look down on others, or that others don’t look down on me. The most outrageous time was when a programmer whose annual salary was less than one-fifth of mine told me, "You are too strong and I am under a lot of pressure" after learning my true income, and then blocked me.
After get off work that day, I sat alone in the car and cried from ten o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning. I cried until my voice became hoarse and my eyes were swollen to walnuts. Finally, I ran out of cigarettes in the car before I drove home. Women in their thirties really have no right to cry.
My mother is more anxious. She is a retired teacher with a stiflingly traditional mindset. On New Year's Eve last year, when the whole family was having New Year's Eve dinner, she started quarreling with me again, saying, "What's the use of making so much money? Who will give you a break in the future?" That day I threw the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the house I bought.
During that time, I even began to wonder if I was destined to die alone. So I started to get sick and seek medical attention. First, I found a so-called "emotional recovery master" and spent 88,000. In the end, the advice he gave me was to "wear more pink" and "go to cafes more", which was useless. Later, I went to the Internet to find a feng shui master who was said to be very powerful. He looked at my horoscope remotely and told me that my husband's star would be in my tomb. He asked me to place a copper gourd in my bedroom. I did it, what was the result? I didn't wait for the peach blossom to come, but when I did, the project failed and I lost 856,000 yuan.
I was completely heartbroken.
It wasn't until March last year that a childhood friend of mine found out about my situation and insisted on dragging me to meet one of her friends. When she publishes novels, this person is her husband's partner. He usually doesn't read it to others easily and would offend others by telling the truth. But she saw that I was really pitiful, so she begged me once.
I didn't want to go at first, but I couldn't help but get frustrated.
The gentleman's surname was Li. He looked to be in his fifties. He was wearing a very ordinary Chinese tunic suit and spoke slowly. He asked me to give my birth date and then closed my eyes and counted with my fingers for about three minutes.
When I opened my eyes, the first sentence made me tingle.
"Have you been defrauded of money by a man in the past two years? About three hundred thousand yuan. And there is a villain beside you, who is from your department. He is not tall, wears glasses, and is the same age as you."
My heart suddenly shrank. The first thing is true. The year before last, I met a man who was doing private equity. I lent him 300,000 yuan and agreed to pay it back in three months, but he disappeared. I have never told anyone about this, including me when I was little. The second thing is that there is indeed a manager in my department who is short and wears glasses. He is the same age as me. He pretends to be loyal in front of me every day, and secretly tells other directors that I am "too strong and deserve to be married".
Then he started to look at my horoscope and became more and more professional as he spoke.
"Your birth chart is the Sun Lord of Guishui. You were born in the You month. You have gold, white and clear water, and you are smart all your life. But your official killing star is completely empty in one chart, and it is tightly restrained by the wounded official in Nian Zhu. The scientific name of the wounded official in your horoscope is Shangguan Gelingguansha, which is a sure sign in a woman's marriage. It's not that you don't want to get married, you are subconsciously rejecting all the opposite sex who have a good impression of you, and you don't even realize it."
When he said this, my eyes turned red.
Because he was so right. Thinking about it carefully, among the people I went on blind dates with in the past, whenever someone took the slightest initiative, I would think "he is trying to get me something," and I would instinctively put up my guard. I can't control this subconscious resistance myself.
Mr. Li said that the biggest problem in my life is that "I don't see the official killings, and I stay alone." There is also a problem with the layout of my bedroom. The headboard of the bed faces east, which completely conflicts with my horoscope. He said that according to my horoscope, the five elements of fire should be used to attract the prosperous official and the killing star, because fire can generate earth, earth can generate metal, and metal can turn killing into power. Therefore, you must wear a natural fire-attribute consecrated magic weapon, such as cinnabar or jewelry with specific talismans and engraved patterns, and you must wear it with you and never leave your body. At the same time, the bedside of the bedroom should be adjusted to face south and north, and a unicorn should be placed on the bedside table. The unicorn should have a ruby in its mouth.
To be honest, I was dubious at the time. But thinking about the 88,000 yuan I was defrauded of before, I still hesitated. Fa Xiao was so anxious that he pinched my arm. Finally, I gritted my teeth and asked him to consecrate a cinnabar bracelet and a unicorn ornament.
Mr. Li finally said something that I still remember: "You will have a good relationship in the fourth lunar month of this year (around May 2023). This person is not your official, but he is your noble person and will help you create a good relationship."
I thought at the time, hey, he must be a pie painter again.
The result?
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the company suddenly landed a vice president named Zhou. He was 44 years old and unmarried. He held a plenary meeting with me in the first week after he came. After the meeting, he kept me here and said that he heard that a project I led was doing well and he wanted to talk to me about cooperation.
I didn't think much of it at the time. As a result, after that conversation, he directly approved a new project with a very high budget for me and gave me full responsibility. I led the team to work hard for two months, and the project was delivered ahead of schedule, generating nearly 30 million yuan in revenue for the company. I received a generous bonus and became a direct descendant of Mr. Zhou.
What surprised me even more was that Mr. Zhou later told me privately that, like me, he was also a man who was about to collapse due to the pressure to get married. His mother even said, "If you don't bring a girlfriend home, you'll break off the relationship."
What happened next moved faster than I thought. We have a common professional background, common anxieties, and even a common work schedule. After we added WeChat, we chatted for three months. It’s not an awkward chat like a blind date, but there’s really a lot to talk about. He appreciates my professionalism and I appreciate his style.
During the Chinese New Year this year, I took him home to meet my mother. My mother cried with joy on the spot.
Now, Mr. Zhou has officially proposed to me. I wear my cinnabar bracelet every day, even when I take a shower.
Finally, I want to say a few heartfelt words to you all:
1. The anxiety of being unmarried at an older age is real, but seeking medical attention in a hurry will only make your life worse. The 88,000 I lost and the 300,000 I was defrauded were all lessons learned with real money.
2. Don’t believe those emotional bloggers on the Internet. Their own marriages are useless. Really powerful people are not free enough to be tutors online.
3. If you really feel that no matter how hard you try, it is useless, whether it is career or relationship, there may be something wrong with the underlying logic of your horoscope. This is not chicken soup, this is an energy field issue. If some people have the right arrangement in their home and the right magnetic field, everything will go smoothly; if they have the wrong arrangement, thirty years of hard work will be in vain.
I am grateful for those 50 blind dates, they made me understand myself. But I’m even more grateful that night, after crying in the car for three hours, I still didn’t give up.
In this life of a woman, if her career is successful, it is her skill; if her marriage is successful, it is her blessing. Having both is truly complete.
I hope every girl who has cried bitterly in the middle of the night will finally get her wish.
