Not quite right
When Zou Yuqing got home that night, he talked to Jiang Lu about lunch. Because the coffee shop had a shift system and the working hours were irregular, Jiang Lu took out the shift schedule that the manager had just given him before leaving get off work and compared it with the schedule. "Then I can come tomorrow at noon. Is that really okay? Will it be... awkward?" He still had some concerns.
"No, I've already told them. I'll pick you up downstairs. They're all very nice people, and there are a lot of Omegas who really want to meet you." Zou Yuqing smiled and brought out the noodles. "Just eat something for a few days. I'll go buy groceries on the weekend."
"Okay, let's go together this weekend." Jiang Lu took over while sitting at the dinner table, "But why do they want to see me? Could there be some misunderstanding?" Although he said this, a smile appeared on his face.
Zou Yuqing didn't notice, so he sat down too. "I've explained to them, just be comfortable tomorrow." After that, they all started eating noodles. Halfway through, Zou Yuqing looked up again and asked, "How was work today?"
"Not bad. Today I mainly memorized the coffee recipe. The manager will test me next week. The people in the store are all very nice too. Oh, and I even got compliments from customers! A young lady even said I was cute, hahaha!" Jiang Lu started laughing as he spoke, his eyes narrowed into slits. Seeing this, Zou Yuqing couldn't help but smile too. "How about you, Qingqing? You must have been praised by many people too. We even had lunch together, and the atmosphere seemed really good."
"You can feel it tomorrow too."
Keeping the secret secret, Zou Yuqing and Jiang Lu ate dinner in harmony. After dinner, Jiang Lu rushed to wash the dishes. During this time, Zou Yuqing received a video call from Xu Wang. When he opened it, Xu Wang's large face appeared on the screen, leaning close to the camera.
"What's wrong? You don't look very happy." Zou Yuqing looked at his friend's somewhat depressed face and asked, "Is it Xia..."
"No! It's been a while since I last saw you, and I missed you. Why are you mentioning someone else?" Xu Wang's expression became even more emo when he knew who Zou Yuqing wanted to mention. "Why is it just you? Where's Jiang Lu?"
Hearing someone calling him, Jiang Lu ran directly into the camera with a dishcloth in hand, "What?"
Looking at Jiang Lu's "housewife" look, Xu Wang smiled mysteriously and nodded, "It's okay. Seeing you two so harmonious and happy makes me feel relieved."
"Don't." Zou Yuqing laughed helplessly, "Okay, we still have to clean up, I'll hang up first." After that, he hung up the phone ruthlessly, and then typed: Have you had a good chat with Xia Fan?
Perhaps because his own relationship was not going well, Zou Yuqing really wanted his friends to be happy, so he paid attention to Xu Wang and Xia Fan, wanting his friends to take the first step.
[Xu Wang: Not yet. He should still be busy recently.]
He was clearly trying to escape. Seeing his friend like this, Zou Yuqing thought, I have to have a good chat with Xu Wang someday.
On the second day of his employment, Zou Yuqing became Xinhua's "hot newcomer". Every department heard that a handsome Alpha intern had come to the Department of Commerce and wanted to find out more about him. However, when they heard that this Alpha seemed to have an Omega, they gave up.
Having just joined the company and still in the initial stage, Zou Yuqing didn't have much work to do. After familiarizing himself with the work content, he looked at his watch, said hello to his colleagues, and went downstairs. Jiang Lu asked him to wait for him in the store, so he walked into the coffee shop.
"Qing! Come and help me!" As soon as he saw Zou Yuqing, Jiang Lu shouted, "This coffee is for your colleagues. Should it be enough?"
Looking closely, Zou Yuqing saw eight cups of coffee piled on the table. He thought they were for the guests, but unexpectedly, they were prepared by Jiang Lu for his colleagues. Zou Yuqing was stunned for a moment.
"Don't stand there, let's go, just pack the bags and it will be fine." Jiang Lu was still busy packing. After he finished packing quickly, he handed the two bags to Zou Yuqing, and then he took the two bags and pulled the Alpha who was a little unresponsive out the door.
It wasn't until they entered Xinhua's main gate that Zou Yuqing looked at Jiang Lu. "Why did you buy so much? You just started working. Wait until you get your salary..."
"Oh, my sister will give me some pocket money. Besides, I'm not an employee here, but I can come here thanks to you. Otherwise, I would spend even more on takeout every day." Jiang Lu said with a smile: "I don't know if your colleagues like coffee. Anyway, I bought it first. Don't transfer money to me!"
As if knowing what he was going to do, Jiang Lu suddenly pointed at his half-raised phone in a serious tone and said, "I don't even pay you for cooking dinner every day. You have to keep doing it in the future."
Zou Yuqing chuckled softly and said gently, "Thank you."
The Xinhua cafeteria was located on the third floor of the company. It was packed during lunch break, and the elevator was so packed that it was impossible to get in. They had to wait two or three times. When they finally got in, Zou Yuqing and Jiang Lu were squeezed in the middle, their surroundings staring at them curiously.
Fortunately, they soon reached the third floor. Before the elevator doors closed, Zou Yuqing heard someone in the elevator say, "Is that the intern? The Omega next to him is him, right? What a perfect match!"
It was quite awkward, and I wondered if Jiang Lu had heard it. Zou Yuqing stole a glance at Jiang Lu and saw that his friend was still smiling, not embarrassed at all. Relieved, he took Jiang Lu to his colleagues' table.
"You're here? Why did you bring coffee? So polite!" Pan also stood up and looked at the two people coming towards him with a smile, then took the coffee with both hands, looking like he really liked this "AO" couple in his mind.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Lu, Qingqing's friend." With a shy smile, Jiang Lu greeted everyone and shared coffee and pan with everyone present. As he did so, he said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Qing and I have only been here a short time. He came back yesterday and said how nice everyone is. I'm really happy too."
"Oh!" After hearing Jiang Lu's words, the colleagues all made teasing sounds, then looked at Zou Yuqing and raised their eyebrows, "Your friend is really nice!"
Zou Yuqing was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Lu to say something like that. It sounded innocent enough, but their identities made it meaningful. An Omega bringing coffee to an Alpha colleague and saying something like that—even a piece of wood would have sensed something was amiss.
"It's a two-way thing. Qingqing is also very good to her friends, so I'm like this." Jiang Lu's face turned a little red, and he waved his hand to explain.
"We get it, how cute! Go get some food, there's going to be more people soon." The colleagues suddenly looked at the two with a smile on their faces. "Thank you for the coffee!"
"You're welcome." After replying, Jiang Lu followed Zou Yuqing to the window to queue up to buy food.
Zou Yuqing wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he decided not to say a word. After buying the food, he and Jiang Lu sat back down to eat. As an outsider, Jiang Lu integrated quickly and soon became friends with the older colleagues in the company and started chatting.
