Qin Qingnan made two phone calls, one to an IT technical friend and another to Xie Shichen.
His IT technical friend was no ordinary individual; he was one of the main developers of the chat app Qin Qingnan was using. He requested that his friend apply a special technical treatment to his chat group.
That was to completely block Lin Ziran's number, making it impossible for other group members to add her as a friend or send her private messages, and also ensuring that only Qin Qingnan himself could see her messages.
In doing so, not only did he keep Lin Ziran in "Destined Hug" but also shielded her from a portion of potential suitors from the dating circle to some extent.
After making this call, Qin Qingnan dialed Xie Shichen to invite him out for a drink, primarily to discuss Ou Lan's registration as a member on the dating website.
The two agreed to meet at an upscale bar.
In the private room, Qin Qingnan recounted the day's events in detail.
