5:30 pm, Chenxin Design Reception Room.

It has been almost a month since Lu Xiaoqiao was transferred from the sales department to the design department.

It wasn't a long time, but for her it was the happiest day since she graduated and started working. The only downside was that the man sitting in front of her was looking for trouble.

"Mr. Tang, I have revised the design eight times! You said the color is wrong. How about we go to the sales department to see the color of the finished product design to see if it is what you want?"

Tang Qian sat on a chair in the reception room, crossed his legs, and squinted at the woman in front of him.

The investigators said she was a country girl from the countryside, but she didn't look like that. How could a country girl be so white?

However, from what I can see now, apart from her pretty face and white spots on her skin, I can't see anything special about her.

"I want a custom-made model. Why does Miss Lu always push finished products to me? Are you worried that I don't have enough money? Jiang Heng's orders can be customized, but why can't we at Far East?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless. She felt that this person was just looking for trouble.

From the moment she came in, she had to compete with Jiang Heng in everything from beginning to end. A few days ago, Chen Xin came and said that she was in a hurry for an order, and she stayed up all night to complete the design draft.

I revised ten design drawings again and again before I finally chose a satisfactory design. But now, because of a color issue, I have been revising it from 2:30 in the afternoon until now, when I am almost getting off work, and I still haven't finalized it.

But who says he is God? Moreover, this God has silver hair standing upright and is wearing a black T-shirt with a skull pattern printed all over it, which makes him look like someone who is not easy to mess with.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Mr. Tang, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. How about this? I'll list all the color pictures together, and you can just choose one from them."

Tang Qian stared at her for a moment. Ha! She has a pretty good temper.

I deliberately made things difficult for her for a long time but she didn't show any unhappy expression.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today. My eyes are hurting from reading. I'll think about it when I get home."

"Okay, Mr. Tang, think about it and let me know."

Seeing Tang Qian stand up, Lu Xiaoqiao also quickly stood up and walked him to the door.

If it was a normal day when she got off work late, it would be no big deal and she would be willing to stay with me until any hour, but she really had something to do tonight.

Lin Lin sprained her ankle a few days ago and was resting at home. She called Lu Xiaoqiao and said in a coquettish way that she wanted to eat the mustard shrimps she made, so they made an appointment to go to her house to make it for her today.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Lin Ziyang's car to the Zhou family's old house. Because it was rush hour after get off work, it was almost seven o'clock when they arrived at the old house.

This was not her first time coming here, but every time she came, she was still shocked by this old house. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, its geographical location was unique, making it worthy of being the home of the richest man.

Lu Xiaoqiao was calculating in her mind whether her lifetime salary would be enough to buy the place where the stone lion was squatting at the gate.

After driving the car into the yard and parking it in the garage, the two walked out of the garage and saw a black Kurinan parked under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

"My uncle is back with his car."

Lu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and took a look. She didn't know much about cars, but the appearance of the car seemed to suit its owner very well.

The two of them walked up the stairs and just entered the inner door, they saw Lin Lin standing on one leg in the lobby waiting for them.

"What are you doing standing here? Aren't you afraid that you might develop a chronic disease if you don't take good care of yourself?" Lu Xiaoqiao blamed her, but she quickly held her hands and helped her walk to the sofa and sit down.

"Xiao Qiao, you're finally here. I told her several times but she didn't listen. She insisted on standing there waiting for you. If she doesn't get to eat the wasabi prawns today, she probably won't be able to sleep well."

Zhao Yaqin walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face and a fruit plate in her hands. Although she is nearly seventy years old, she looks much younger than her peers because she takes good care of herself.

"Grandma, why are you like this? I miss Xiao Qiao."

Zhao Yaqin smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, I was thinking about Xiao Qiao, not Da Xia."

"grandmother!"

Like Lin Lin, Lu Xiaoqiao calls Zhao Yaqin "grandma".

"Xiao Qiao, are you tired? Hurry up and sit down and take a rest. You just came here after get off work!"

Zhao Yaqin likes this young and energetic girl very much. She is beautiful and kind-hearted.

Originally, I wanted to match her up with Lin Ziyang, but when the girl graduated, Lin Ziyang already had a girlfriend and said that he only treated the girl as a sister.

"It's okay, grandma. I'm not tired. I'll go to the kitchen first."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang from the kitchen saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming in and said, "Xiaoqiao, I put the shrimp in the sink. I didn't process it because it wasn't fresh when I cooked it. Tell me what to do. You go make the sauce and I'll process the shrimp. This way it'll be faster."

Lu Xiaoqiao agreed and took a look at the shrimps in the pool: "Aunt Zhang, these shrimps are so big, so don't cut them off by cutting their backs and bellies. This way they will be more flavorful and easier to peel when you eat them."

The two were busy in the kitchen, and Zhao Yaqin also went to help them for a while. When the dishes were ready and brought to the table outside, they saw Zhou's father and Zhou Qizhen, father and son, walking down from the second floor.

From the moment Zhao Yaqin saw Zhou Qizhen, she stood there uncomfortably, and her tone of voice was cautious and flattering.

"Well, Qi Zheng, your uncle Liu sent me a wild rhubarb. You love steamed fish the most, so why don't you stay here for dinner?"

Zhou Qizhen only glanced at her and replied in a cold tone, "No need."

As soon as the voice fell, a beautiful figure walked out of the kitchen: "Lin Lin, the wasabi prawns you've been dreaming of are ready."

The tall figure paused slightly, and Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly appeared unexpectedly.

But what was said could not be taken back.

Father Zhou looked at Zhao Yaqin's injured expression, sighed slightly, turned around and said to Zhou Qizhen: "You haven't eaten yet, stay here and eat! It's just right to finish the meal and send Xiao Qiao back on the way."

Seeing that Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything else, I knew that he agreed.

Zhao Yaqin happily arranged for everyone to sit at the table, and she asked the kitchen to cook two more dishes.

At the round dining table, Zhou's father sat in the main seat, Zhao Yaqin and Zhou Qi sat on his left and right, Lin Ziyang sat next to Zhou Qi, and then sat Lin Lin and Lu Xiaoqiao.

Lu Xiaoqiao learned from Lin Lin very early on that Zhao Yaqin was not her biological grandmother, but her grandfather's later wife.

But from what I saw when Zhou Qizhen stayed for dinner just now, it seemed that except for him who treated his stepmother coldly, the rest of the family got along with each other like normal family members.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt that talking was probably not allowed at the dinner table in wealthy families, and no one was talking at the moment, so she just focused on eating.

But she didn't know that, diagonally opposite to her, a pair of burning gazes were cast towards her from time to time.

The last time the two met was at the Haicheng Exhibition.

Zhou Qizhen was busy with the acquisition and the opening of the business center right after he came back from Haicheng. He also went on several business trips during that time, so we had no chance to meet. I didn't expect to meet him by chance today.

Zhao Yaqin's mind was completely on Zhou Qizhen. No matter how much she advised him in the past, he would never stay for dinner except during festivals. But today, she was persuaded to stay for dinner for the first time.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that his eyes were always glancing at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting next to her.

Maybe I'm overthinking it!

After all, there is a big difference between the two people in terms of status and age.

Once suspicion arises in your heart, you will observe more carefully.

She knew a little about his character, even if he hid his feelings very well, but it was not difficult to guess it when she saw that he agreed to stay for dinner tonight.

Zhao Yaqin was a little excited about this discovery.

If I help him keep the girl he likes by his side, then he won't hate her so much, maybe he can still call her aunt as before.

If he is really interested in this girl, I will help him to win her over no matter what.

After finishing the meal, they chatted in the living room for a while. It was almost nine o'clock, and because it was too late, Lu Xiaoqiao stood up and said goodbye.
