Chapter 105: Zhou Limin's Sincerity
"…It's not an order." Zhou Limin smiled and glanced at Pei Lingxuan, "Something happened to my friend, and I have to go over to help during this period of time."
"Okay." Pei Lingxuan agreed obediently, but she knew in her heart that he was lying.
Something about a friend being in trouble and needing help is just a high-sounding excuse. He couldn't send Pei Lingxuan to the hospital again just because he was simply afraid. He was afraid that Lu Yibai or Qin Sisi would find out that they were together.
"Xiaoxuan." Zhou Liming suddenly called her again.
Pei Lingxuan: “Hmm?”
Zhou Limin freed up one hand and touched her head: "Although I can't drive you in person during this period, I will arrange for an assistant to pick you up and drop you off at the hospital every day. I will send you the assistant's contact information in a while. You can call him wherever you want to go in the future, and he will take you there."
"No need to go to such trouble." Zhou Limin's thoughtfulness startled Pei Lingxuan. She quickly refused, "The company is not far from the hospital. I can just take a taxi here. Mr. Zhou, you don't have to arrange for someone to pick me up. You really don't have to."
"I've been a big enough bother to you before. I feel bad for taking your attention away from you now that you have something else to do."
"It's not distraction." Zhou Limin smiled gently and said softly, "It's peace of mind. I can help you, and you are willing to accept my help. This is a great peace of mind for me. Only when I am sure that you are fine can I feel at ease."
"And you don't bother me at all. I did this voluntarily and I enjoy it."
"...Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Liming's words were so good and perfect that even though Pei Lingxuan knew she was acting with him, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
At a certain moment, she actually thought, it would be great if Zhou Liming and Lu Yibai had no relationship. If Zhou Liming was innocent, she would definitely be willing to give him a chance.
But there is no "if" or "if" in this world. If a person is dirty, he is dirty, no matter how good he is.
Pei Lingxuan was only lost in thought for a moment before she came to her senses immediately. She put on her signature sweet smile and said to Zhou Limin in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Limin flicked her forehead with his finger: "You're welcome."
The restaurant was in a shopping mall. Zhou Liming sent Pei Lingxuan to the entrance of the mall and did not go in.
"Eat well, eat whatever you want, eat as much as you can, you are so thin."
Pei Lingxuan smiled shyly, pursing her lips: "I know."
Zhou Limin: "Go in."
"Okay." Pei Lingxuan waved at him, "I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Liming curved his eyes and looked at Pei Lingxuan with a look that was gentle enough to be fatal.
"goodbye."
Today is a weekday, so there aren't that many people in the mall. Zhou Liming stood at the door, watching Pei Lingxuan's back as she was taken to the third floor by the escalator and then disappeared.
“Eh…”
He sighed, turned around and walked out, took out his cell phone from the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and transferred some money to Pei Lingxuan.
“Buzz——”
“Buzz——”
The cell phone vibrated twice in succession. Pei Lingxuan turned on the screen and saw that they were two WeChat messages sent to her by Zhou Liming.
She frowned, unlocked her phone, and clicked on the message directly, but was caught off guard by a golden transfer on the chat interface.
——【WeChat transfer 5200, please receive the payment】
——Use today’s play money to treat your friends to a nice meal. You are not allowed to come back to work until it’s all spent.
…
These two WeChat messages were so heavy that Pei Lingxuan was almost unable to walk for a moment.
She stopped where she was, staring blankly at the chat interface with Zhou Liming on her phone, feeling mixed emotions.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Zhou Limin thought she didn't dare to accept it, so he sent another message.
——Collect the money quickly, otherwise your salary will be deducted.
Pei Lingxuan opened the chat box, and her hands were shaking for some reason as she typed.
——Mr. Zhou, this is too much money.
Zhou Limin sent her a voice message directly: "It's not much, take it quickly, and then go and have dinner with your friends."
When he said this, Zhou Liming was probably walking, and his breathing sounded a little heavy.
Pei Lingxuan: Mr. Zhou, isn’t this a bit against the rules?
Zhou Limin: "I have the final say over Qiangsheng Design. It's up to me to decide whether it complies with the rules or not. Take the money quickly and have a good meal."
Having said that, Pei Lingxuan could no longer find any reason to refuse.
She obediently took the money and replied: Thank you, Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Limin: Eat well, I’m driving.
Pei Lingxuan: Mr. Zhou, please be safe.
After replying this message, she put away her phone.
Five thousand two hundred yuan might not be enough for her to have a high-end western meal in the past, but now, this money that she despised is almost as much as her monthly salary.
Zhou Liming was really generous. He was willing to spend so much money on her even though they had just met.
She was really touched...
"Hmph." She sneered, quickly put away all her emotions, straightened her back, turned around and walked into the restaurant on the right.
He Miao had arrived a long time ago, and as soon as Pei Lingxuan sat down, the waiter brought the dishes.
"Xiaoxuan, these dishes are what we used to eat when we were in college. Try them and see if the taste has changed."
Pei Lingxuan picked up the chopsticks and took a little bit of each dish to try.
"It's still the same taste, it hasn't changed at all... There's even my favorite preserved egg dish! Xiao Miao, you remember it!"
He Miao raised her chin with pride: "Of course I remember. Although I was in love at that time, I didn't forget my good friend's preferences at all."
Pei Lingxuan held the chopsticks and touched the back of her hand: "You are so nice."
He Miao: "Eat quickly, I've been hungry for several rounds."
Pei Lingxuan: “Yeah!”
"By the way, how did you and your ex-boyfriend break up? I'm so curious."
He Miao: "Eh...it's a long story..."
When good friends meet again, it seems as if nothing has changed. They chat about gossip, past events, and bad things about people around them. A small topic is enough for them to talk for more than half an hour.
After the meal, they didn't eat much, and both of them were busy talking.
"Eh..." Pei Lingxuan finished the Sprite in her cup and sighed, "My job is good in every way except that I love working overtime. The boss is like an iron man, he can really keep us working non-stop without a break."
"Uh..." He Miao burped and asked with narrowed eyes, "The boss you are talking about is the one who took you to Weilan Studio that day, right?"
"Yes." Pei Lingxuan nodded, "It's him, his last name is Zhou, we all call him Mr. Zhou."
"Boss Zhou... hehe." He Miao suddenly laughed twice, "Xiao Xuan, strictly speaking, Boss Zhou is also my boss."
"Huh?" Pei Lingxuan pretended to be surprised, "What do you mean?"
