Lin Lin hung up the phone and said to the two girls beside her: "I was a little disgusted with my dinner. The beef was too fatty."
Zhao Jia touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little sick of it, too. I usually eat fatty meat, but this meat feels so fatty."
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at the two of them and said, "I guess everyone at the venue went there to eat. There were too many people and the dishes were prepared in advance, so it's a bit cold. There's a small supermarket next to the hotel. Let's see if there's any popsicles for sale. I'll have a popsicle to relieve the greasy feeling."
The three of them arrived at the supermarket and saw that there were indeed popsicles for sale. They each took one, and when paying, Lu Xiaoqiao rushed to scan the QR code.
When we came out of the supermarket, Lu Xiaoqiao pointed to the flowerbeds under the green trees on both sides of the hotel entrance and said, "Let's go there to eat before going upstairs! We can't eat in the elevator. We have to wait until the room is warm."
When they came to the flower bed, Lu Xiaoqiao gathered her skirt, looked from front to back, and squatted on the flower bed after she felt that there was no problem. Lin Lin was also wearing a skirt, and she followed Lu Xiaoqiao's example.
A few people tore open the packaging bags and squatted on the flower bed, looking at the distant scenery while eating popsicles.
Lin Lin had never eaten this before. As soon as she took a bite, she felt the cold texture and refreshing taste: "I have never eaten this before! It's delicious, really refreshing, and cheap, only two yuan."
Just now she saw Lu Xiaoqiao pay six yuan.
Lu Xiaoqiao took a bite of the popsicle in her hand and said, "Isn't it better than your ice cream that costs hundreds of dollars? This is still expensive. It only costs one dollar in a normal supermarket."
"Ah? Did we overpay? I'm so angry! I could have bought six with the money, but now I only bought three."
Zhao Jia ignored the two people's mumbling, and his eyes were completely on a figure in the distance: "Hey! Look at the man standing under the big tree over there, does he look like Mr. Zhou?"
Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin looked in the direction Zhao Jia pointed at the same time.
Under a big tree not far away, stood a man with his back to them. The dim light of the street lamp shone obliquely on him, outlining his slender and slightly lonely figure.
His left hand was casually placed in his trouser pocket, and his right hand held a cigarette. The cigarette butt flickered in the darkness, and the smoke was hazy and slowly dissipated under the weak light, blurring his face.
"uncle!"
Lin Lin called out softly in Zhou Qizhen's direction. Although the voice was not loud, he still heard it.
Zhou Qi turned around, and when his eyes met Lin Lin, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses.
Then he stretched out his long legs and walked towards the group of people steadily: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Lin raised her hand and held up the old popsicle that she hadn't finished yet: "Dinner was a bit greasy, so I'll eat a popsicle to relieve the greasiness."
Zhao Jia didn't expect that the man he pointed at was actually Mr. Zhou. He quickly stood up and greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't stand up, but greeted him quietly.
Zhou Qizhen nodded in response, then stood beside Lin Lin, staring down at Lu Xiaoqiao who was squatting there.
His attention was not on the fact that she didn't stand up to greet him, but on watching her take bites of the popsicle.
After taking each bite, she chewed it in her mouth, showing no fear of the cold at all. Her soft lips also became more rosy and plump due to the cold stimulation...
Zhou Qizhen only felt his throat suddenly tighten.
I wanted to take another puff of cigarette to relieve the pain, but suddenly I felt that smoking in front of a lady was not a gentlemanly act.
"Xiao Qiao, why do you eat so fast?" Lin Lin looked at the half-eaten popsicle in her hand, and then looked at the only stick left in Lu Xiaoqiao's hand.
"Xiao Qiao is not afraid of ice and she always bites the food like this." Zhao Jia also admires Lu Xiaoqiao's teeth.
"And she can eat several at a time."
Lin Lin was surprised: "Ah? Then your teeth are not cold at all?"
When Zhou Qizheng heard Zhao Jia say that Lu Xiaoqiao ate many popsicles at a time, he frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Girls should eat less ice cream."
Because of the order in which the words were spoken, Lu Xiaoqiao mistakenly thought that Zhou Qizhen disliked her for taking Lin Lin to eat popsicles. Well, any elder hopes that the younger generation can learn good things from their friends.
But she still wanted to explain to avoid misunderstanding: "We only bought one ice cream each this time, and we didn't let Lin Lin eat more ice cream."
Zhou Qizhen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after hearing this. This slightly angry expression, does she think he was talking about her just now?
"I'm not just talking about Lin Lin, I'm talking about all girls."
Seeing that she stopped talking and squatted there waiting for the sisters who had not finished eating, Zhou Qizhen felt a little anxious, wondering if he had ruined this hard-earned opportunity.
"Give it to me!"
"What?" Lu Xiaoqiao looked at the big hand that suddenly stretched out in front of her a little confused.
"Wooden stick, you've finished eating, right? I'll go throw it away."
After realizing what he said, I felt a little surprised and a little embarrassed: "Ah? No need..."
Before Lu Xiaoqiao could finish her words, Zhou Qizhen had already reached out and snatched the stick from her hand.
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
"I just want to throw this." Zhou Qizhen raised his hand and pointed at the cigarette in his hand.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Qizheng walked to the trash can, looked at the wooden stick in his hand, put out the cigarette he had just smoked, and threw it into the trash can.
Just when he reached out to take the wooden stick from Lu Xiaoqiao's hand, his fingertips accidentally touched her soft little hand. At that moment, it seemed as if a tiny electric current quickly spread throughout his body.
He twisted it gently with his fingers, and there still seemed to be a vague touch there.
When they returned, after Lin Lin and Zhao Jia finished their meal, they took the elevator upstairs together. Zhou Qizhen sent the three of them to the door of their room before taking the elevator upstairs to his own room.
…
The next morning.
Lu Xiaoqiao woke up in the morning worrying about what to wear. She didn't meet any potential customers the whole day yesterday, but at the end of the day she received a potential customer.
Although the main purpose of this activity was not to receive orders at that time, she still hoped to be lucky enough to receive an order.
The customer said that he would bring a colleague to look at the samples today. Later, the two of them just added each other on WeChat and left. I still hoped to be able to negotiate this deal.
She was busy all day yesterday. Although her clothes were not dirty, she had worn them all day and it was really not suitable to wear them again.
So, Lu Xiaoqiao wore that French dress.
She was originally worried that yesterday's customers would not remember her if she suddenly changed her clothes, but Lin Lin and Zhao Jia told her that if she spoke more formally, the customers would feel that they were more valued, so she finally felt relieved.
After arriving at the venue, they immediately got busy.
Yesterday, on the first day, there weren't many people, so Lin Lin and Zhao Jia still had time to visit other brands' designs. Today, there were suddenly more people, so the two of them also started to get busy along with Lu Xiaoqiao.
When it was almost time to get off work, the potential customer from yesterday was late. Lu Xiaoqiao, who had originally given up hope, successfully negotiated this big order.
After seeing off the customers, Lu Xiaoqiao happily hugged the two friends who had just worked with her.
The three of them decided to go out for a nice meal in the evening to celebrate.
