Xiao Zhou, who had been chatting and laughing with Hu Xinxin, suddenly felt a chilling malice coming towards her.
However, when she turned her head in confusion, she saw nothing.
Xiao Zhou scratched the back of his head, assuming it was just his imagination, and went back to work.
"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Hu Xinxin had observed Xiao Zhou's situation and asked him a question at the right time.
It must be said that Hu Xinxin knows how to win people's hearts; in ancient times, she would have been a master of palace intrigue and domestic power struggles.
With just two short sentences, he had Xiao Zhou completely under his control, and Xiao Zhou was still feeling smug about it.
However, her good mood didn't last long. Just a second ago, she was saying that "Brother Long and Sister Xin Xin" were the best employers in the world.
The next second, he was muttering to himself with a long face.
Let's rewind to half a minute earlier, to the moment Zhang Long came out of the bedroom.
"Xiao Zhou, I've bought your plane ticket, and I've sent the flight information to you on WeChat."
"You can stay home until the fifteenth of the month before coming out."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Long!"
Xiao Zhou thanked him happily and took out his phone to check.
However, when she saw her flight information, her mind went blank.
Not only is the date two days later, on the 25th, which is two days before Lunar New Year's Eve.
The address also shows a flight from Lucheng. Seeing this, it would be too much for her not to know that her boss, Brother Long, had made arrangements.
Isn't this clearly a way of asking her to drive ahead and pave the way for the two bosses?
Looking at the keys to the Alphard in her hand, she missed her parents terribly. "The city is full of tricks," she thought, "I want to go back to the countryside!"
It's like she dug a two-meter hole for her boss and asked him who she wanted to bury, and he said it was for her.
It's short for digging a hole and burying yourself.
Seeing Xiao Zhou's pitiful expression, Hu Xinxin stepped forward and offered a few words of comfort.
"When Chinese New Year comes, I'll have your brother Long give you a super big red envelope!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhou immediately beamed with joy: "Sister Xin Xin is still the best to me!"
Sure enough, the little girl still needed to be coaxed.
Back home, Zhang Long gave his girlfriend a thumbs-up, clearly indicating that things were far more complicated than Xiao Zhou had imagined.
Of course, for him, giving the young girl an extra red envelope was no big deal; he didn't feel comfortable letting someone else drive his car home.
It would be better to spend more money to let the girl earn some extra money, since it would cost a lot of money to tow the car back anyway.
Anyway, he didn't want to drive back himself; the thought of the highways getting congested during this period was truly agonizing.
Let Xiao Zhou suffer this pain for him instead.
I'm willing to remain single for life on the condition that Xiao Zhou reaches his destination safely and smoothly this time.
(Big Tanuki: You think you're so great? You're so high and mighty? If you're so capable, then don't use me as a bargaining chip!)
Hu Xinxin looked at the list of items in her hand. The cigarettes and alcohol she had brought back earlier, as well as gifts for her future in-laws and brother-in-law, had all been loaded into the car and she left overnight.
The remaining underwear, toiletries, and cosmetics will be much easier to pack; one suitcase will suffice.
At this time, his phone rang again.
When he saw that the caller was Jun Ge, he had a general idea of what was going on.
Sure enough, after answering the phone, he heard the other party send him a team invitation.
"Ah Long, are you driving back this year?"
"If we're driving back, our two families can travel together."
“Xinyao also said that she hasn’t seen you, the most handsome uncle, for a long time. She’ll have to ask you for a big red envelope for the New Year.”
"Hehe, really?"
"To be honest, it's been quite a while since I've seen Yao Yao."
“Jun-ge, just tell her that you’ll see her during the New Year, and your uncle will definitely give her a big red envelope then.”
"As for driving back, forget it. Getting stuck in traffic on the highway would be a real hassle."
"My friend has already driven my car back, I can just take a plane back myself."
After hanging up the phone, Jun Ge remained seated on the sofa with a smile on his face, while his wife, Zheng Yiyun, looked somewhat puzzled and confused.
"Why are you so happy after being rejected?"
Jun glanced at his wife: "What do you know?"
"His real intention wasn't in the wine, was it?"
"Being rejected is perfectly normal, and I didn't make this call to invite Ah Long to drive back together. I just wanted to catch up with him."
"You don't know, but I briefly mentioned at the company that he's my cousin."
"As a result, a few days ago, General Manager Xu added my name to the list of those being promoted."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will become the company's finance manager after the Chinese New Year."
"You can't even imagine how powerful his name is. Even Mr. Xu couldn't find a way to invite him to dinner and ended up coming to me for help."
As it turns out, the raccoon's prayers for being single were completely useless; perhaps it simply didn't want to be.
Traffic jams were inevitable, but fortunately, Zhang Long arranged for Xiao Zhou to leave the night before, when map navigation wasn't as congested. Otherwise, it would have been like Jun Ge leaving early the next morning.
I'm still playing cards on the highway right now, and the map navigation isn't just red anymore, it's a deep, purplish red.
Time flew by and it was the 25th. Airport terminal, VIP waiting room.
Zhang Long found it particularly amusing to look at his girlfriend, who seemed a little nervous.
This seemingly carefree Beijing girl, who had initially spoken with great conviction, unexpectedly became nervous at this moment.
She doesn't even realize how many times she's been in and out of her own "danger's den" (a dangerous place).
His family is just an ordinary farming family, what's there to be afraid of?
However, no matter what, her nervousness shows that she cares, which is quite commendable.
Zhang Long then took her small hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't be nervous, relax."
“My family is just an ordinary family. It’s only in the last few years, after I’ve had some money, that things have gotten a little better.”
"Given your qualifications, whether in the past or now, it would be considered marrying down."
"Yes, lift your head, straighten your chest, and give it a shake!"
"Cough cough, take it easy. I was just joking to lighten the mood. See, it's much better now."
"Actually, the people who should be worried are not you, but my parents."
"When you meet my parents later, remember to tone down your assertiveness and act a little more gentle. They'll definitely like you more that way."
"You have a great figure, a pretty face, a tall stature, and a nice butt. You're absolutely stunning."
Hearing her boyfriend's quirky words of comfort, Hu Xinxin broke down and burst out laughing.
She gently patted her boyfriend: "Is this my fault?"
Then she came to her senses: "Wait a minute, let me think about it. Didn't you just say I was fierce?"
