Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Workaholic Dad 8

Qin Jin was touched by Zhuo Zhuo's cuteness. The little fat boy's family was furious and accused her of lying. Zhuo Zhuo of course had to refute it, pointing at the little fat boy and saying, "I didn't lie, you can ask him!"

Unfortunately, the little fat boy was very arrogant and domineering. He rolled on the ground crying and would not listen to anyone. He just cried like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Qin Jin glanced at the fat boy and then looked away. They were both crying, but Zhuo Zhuo was pitiful and adorable, which made people feel distressed. This fat boy was annoying and disgusting. He didn't want to waste time here and asked the manager to check the surveillance. Zhuo Zhuo saw that the fat boy hadn't said anything and became anxious. "Everyone is waiting for you, speak up!"

The little fat boy was still crying and rolling around, and Zhuozhuo shouted, "Stop crying!"

Maybe it was because he was beaten by Zhuozhuo, the little fat boy was really frightened by the shout. His crying stopped abruptly. He looked at Zhuozhuo timidly, got up and hid behind his mother.

Zhuozhuo was very imposing. Before the little fat boy and his parents could speak, he asked in a baby voice, "Did you suddenly grab my ball?"

The little fat boy nodded subconsciously, "I want to play with you."

Zhuozhuo asked again, "Were you going to hit me first?"

"I, I didn't. I was just trying to scare you."

Zhuozhuo ignored the fat boy's excuses and concluded, "You're a rude and bad kid. You're also playing tricks on me. I don't like you and I don't want to play with you. I don't want to hear you say sorry anymore. I don't want to forgive you."

The little fat boy started crying again. Zhuo Zhuo was unmoved and shook Qin Jin's neck. "Dad, let's go and have dinner."

Qin Jin was overwhelmed by Zhuo Zhuo's cuteness. She was smart, cute, and brave. She had clear logic, a clear distinction between good and evil, and was independent-minded. How could she be so outstanding? He rubbed Zhuo Zhuo's little head affectionately and couldn't help but bump heads with her. "Okay, let's eat right away."

Just then, the restaurant's security arrived with a computer and surveillance footage. The footage clearly captured the entire process of the fat boy snatching Zhuozhuo's things without warning, threatening her, and then being attacked by her. It was clear who was right and who was wrong. The fat boy's parents tried to make a scene, but were stopped by the manager and security.

The middle-aged man who was kicked by Qin Jin fell to the ground again, groaning and saying that he had injured his internal organs and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Zhuozhuo was a little nervous. She looked at the man for a while, and seeing that the family was so excited, she also became anxious. "You're talking nonsense. My father is a good man. He wouldn't hurt anyone!" After that, she leaned close to Qin Jin's ear and whispered, "Dad, you didn't use too much force, did you?"

Qin Jin smiled and comforted, "It's okay."

He glanced at the manager, who came over quickly, bowed, and said, "Mr. Qin, what can I do for you?"

Qin Jin could have stopped this farce by force when it started, but Zhuozhuo's reaction made him choose to let it run its course. Unfortunately, a child could not deal with such a vicious and unreasonable adult.

Since Zhuozhuo didn't want to argue with the fat boy, he wouldn't waste time here. He gave the manager a few instructions and left the play area surrounded by bodyguards who appeared out of nowhere.

When the fat boy's family saw this, they realized that they seemed to have offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. Just as they were wondering whether they should continue, the manager came over and told them that the restaurant would refuse to serve them in the future.

"Why? You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power!" The middle-aged man reacted quickly and started shouting loudly.

One of the remaining bodyguards continued, "From now on, you are prohibited from entering any Lihe Plaza in the country."

"What?!" The middle-aged man began to get scared, not because of Lihe Square, but because of what it represented.

The manager appeared to be explaining the situation to the middle-aged man, but was actually explaining the situation to the surrounding customers. "Because your arbitrary insults, accusations, and attempts at extortion have seriously affected the restaurant's normal operations and our customers' consumption experience, we must be responsible for other customers. If you have any objections, you can take legal action."

He motioned for the security guard to come forward and said, "Sir, if you insist on claiming compensation from Mr. Qin, the restaurant will send someone to accompany you to the police station to file a report."

The bodyguard said, "Mr. Qin will also sue you for extortion. The restaurant has complete surveillance and ample witnesses."

Knowing that he had met a tough opponent, the middle-aged man dared not make a fuss anymore and left in disgrace with his family.

The manager and the bodyguard communicated with the people around them, asking them to delete the photos and videos they had just taken, and provided free meals and small gifts as compensation and thanks.

Zhuozhuo, one of the guests, was also given a small gift: a cute little turtle that could sing and crawl. She played with it for a while, then gave it to the mechanical dog, saying seriously, "Woof woof, this is Wuwu. You both can sing and walk, so you are brothers."

The mechanical puppy has a conversation function and can actually interact with Zhuozhuo. "I am the older brother, and he is the younger brother."

Zhuozhuo giggled, "Then I'm the older sister, you're the older brother, and Wuwu is the younger brother."

The mechanical puppy was very supportive, "Hello, sister."

Zhuozhuo slammed the table happily, pointed at Qin Jin and said, "This is Daddy!"

The mechanical puppy's electronic eyes looked at Qin Jin: "Hello, Dad."

"Hello." Qin Jin calmly accepted the role that Zhuo Zhuo arranged for him, and reminded Zhuo Zhuo not to bang the table.

"I know." Zhuozhuo held the little turtle and tried to teach him to call sister and dad. Unfortunately, he failed and Qin Jin asked him to put down his toys and concentrate on eating. Zhuozhuo looked at Qin Jin eagerly, "I want to hold Wangwang and Wuwu, and Daddy will feed me."

Qin Jin couldn't resist Zhuozhuo's request at all. He moved from the opposite side to her side and began to feed her mouthful by mouthful.

After dinner, Qin Jin let Zhuozhuo run on the ground to help him digest his food. When they passed the ocean ball pool, he squatted down and said, "Zhuozhuo was very brave and great today, but next time you can ask Dad for help. Look at that little fat boy, he's taller and fatter than you. If you hadn't knocked him down at the beginning, his weight alone would have completely overwhelmed you."

"But I knocked him down." Zhuozhuo stopped and looked at Qin Jin. His clear eyes were full of dependence and trust as he said, "Dad is here. It doesn't matter if I can't knock him down. Dad will protect me!"

Qin Jin was unable to utter the words of his admonition. "Yes, Dad will protect you. Zhuozhuo can do whatever he wants."

9972, who had hoped that Qin Jin could teach Zhuo Zhuo a lesson and tell her not to be so rash as to fight with older kids, was speechless. Qin Jin, you are a CEO after all, a big devil who has caused countless taskers to return empty-handed. Can you be more firm?

Qin Jin took Zhuozhuo to a home furnishings store. She hadn't been able to choose a decorating style she liked the previous day, partly because it was difficult for children to translate pictures into 3D. Instead of letting Zhuozhuo struggle with the pictures, it was better to just go through the motions and buy whatever she liked.

Zhuozhuo had never been to a home furnishing store before, so he was shocked when he entered. He turned around and ran back to hold Qin Jin's hand, "Dad, I accidentally ran into someone else's house."

Qin Jin took the opportunity to pick up Zhuo Zhuo and said, "This is not someone else's home. This is also a store. The beds, cabinets, lamps, wallpaper and flooring you see, everything is available for purchase."

"Oh, just like putting clothes on a model, put the bed and cabinets here for us to see." Zhuozhuo understood it quickly and was able to make analogies on his own. Then he looked around curiously, and then came down and ran around by himself, like a happy pony.

Qin Jin followed Zhuo Zhuo closely, buying everything she liked. After a while, Zhuo Zhuo ran over and pulled Qin Jin forward, pointing to a children's room and saying, "Dad, I want this! It has so many stars, so beautiful."

This children's room has a starry sky theme, but the style is different from ordinary starry sky children's rooms. It is quiet but lively and vibrant, creating a warm atmosphere. Qin Jin was also quite satisfied. He squatted down and confirmed with Zhuo Zhuo, "Should we decorate your room like this?"

"Yeah!" Zhuozhuo nodded vigorously and pulled Qin Jin forward again. Qin Jin bent down to follow her and found that they had come to another star-themed room, but this one didn't look like a children's room. He thought Zhuozhuo would like this one too, and was about to suggest that he could decorate her with one like this, when he heard Zhuozhuo say, "Daddy wants this one."

Zhuozhuo let go of his hand and happily jumped onto the floating bed.

Qin Jin looked around. Although this room also had a starry sky theme, it was full of technology and was aimed at older children or adults.

The bed is suspended, and the suspension effect combined with the lighting makes it look like the lair of a mysterious and dangerous cosmic monster in a science fiction film. The windows are oval, and the projection looks like a mysterious black hole. The ceiling is a cosmic observation map, and the lighting is cleverly hidden among the stars and nebulae. When the lights are turned on, the still picture seems to come alive.

It was very flashy and cool, but Qin Jin couldn't accept it. "Zhuozhuo, Daddy doesn't suit this style."

Zhuozhuo ran over and hugged Qin Jin's legs, looking up at him and pleadingly said, "Dad, you want this."

Her eyes were large and clear, sparkling and reflecting the lights, as if they contained diamonds. No one could say no under the gaze of those eyes. Qin Jin's Adam's apple rolled as he spoke with difficulty, "...Okay."

"yeah!"

Zhuozhuo jumped up happily, touching the bed and the wall. Her happiness was contagious, and Qin Jin began to find this room a little more pleasing to his eyes. At least it made Zhuozhuo happy when she played in his room.

Back home, it was time to wash up and go to bed. Qin Jin asked Zhuo Zhuo to choose her pajamas and asked Aunt Zhang to take her to the shower. He also planned to take this opportunity to wash up. Just then, Zhao Xian called. He answered the phone, and his voice was polite and distant, "Mom, what's going on?"

Zhao Xian was silent for a second, "Is Zhuozhuo by your side?"

“No.”

"Wu Jingqiu died. His condition suddenly worsened and he couldn't be saved."

"I see."

Qin Jin hung up the phone and looked towards the bathroom. For the first time, he was in a state of turmoil and embarrassment. He didn't know whether to tell Zhuo Zhuo or keep it a secret and wait for her to slowly forget him.
