When Lu Xiaoqiao was walking from the lakeside into the teahouse, she happened to run into Tang Qian who was walking towards her.
"Mr. Tang, what a coincidence! You are here for tea too."
Tang Qian forced a smile with the corners of his mouth curled up. His mood was completely different from when he first met Lu Xiaoqiao.
Because he knew that he had absolutely no chance!
He was just released today. A few days ago, someone pettily reported him again, resulting in him being put in solitary confinement again. This time, his cell phone was confiscated, completely cutting off his contact with the outside world.
Before being put in solitary confinement, Liu Dongyi came to Hangzhou in person. Tang Qian himself had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen his biological father.
It seems that it was all thanks to that "stingy" gentleman that his father, who had not been seen for a long time, came to "educate" him in person.
After meeting him again after a long separation, Tang Qian felt mixed emotions as he looked at his gray hair and the once familiar face which looked a little more haggard.
Liu Dongyi talked with Tang Ci for a long time that day. Before he left, he told Tang Qian: "Stay away from that girl from now on. She is not just Zhou Qizheng's woman, she is also Mrs. Zhou. If you provoke her, it is equivalent to provoking the entire Zhou family. You'd better think clearly about the consequences."
Tang Qian was stunned when she heard this. Mrs. Zhou! Zhou Qizhen actually made her become Mrs. Zhou. She didn't even know her feelings yet, and she already had no chance!
Tang Qian thought a lot during the days he was locked up. He hated others and himself. He felt that he was not good enough, which was why everyone avoided him!
That's right, he should stay away from her, or just watch her from a distance! After thinking this through, Tang Qian said, "Well, I came here with a friend, how about you?"
"I came here with my elders."
Tang Qian said "Oh".
Lu Xiaoqiao thought of the previous group purchase: "By the way, Mr. Tang, the order for your company has been completed. The person you recommended to take over from you was quite easy to talk to and didn't make any changes. I really want to thank you very much for this!"
Tang Qian looked a little unnatural. That was not his recommendation. It was clearly a message that Tang Ci replied to using his phone.
Oh! Never mind! As long as she is happy, that's all.
"Thank you for what? If you need any help in the future, just give me a heads up."
The chance is probably very slim, after all, her husband is much more capable than him, both in terms of monetary ability and real ability.
Fortunately, he lost to Zhou Qizhen, otherwise, he really didn't know how to convince himself that he was not convinced.
Lu Xiaoqiao chatted with Tang Qian for a few words and then went back to find Ouyang Yueyue, and the two returned to the private room together.
After about ten minutes, Zhao Yichen and Liu Yufei came in from outside. Liu Yufei's complexion seemed to have returned to normal, and Wang Yuxue was relieved.
After drinking tea, Wang Yumei said she wanted to go shopping in Hangzhou City. Several people accompanied her for more than two hours. Lu Xiaoqiao felt that her legs were about to break.
It was almost time for dinner when Zhao Yaqin called. Knowing that everyone was together, she asked Lu Xiaoqiao and Ouyang Yueyue to come to the old house for dinner in the evening.
After get off work, Lin Lin rushed back to the old house directly from the company.
Maybe because she walked for too long during the day, Lu Xiaoqiao felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and she didn't eat much for dinner.
Zhao Yaqin saw that she looked a little listless, and asked worriedly, "Xiao Qiao, why did you eat so little today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, Wang Yumei scolded her, "Second sister, you are so mean. Xiaoqiao has been with us all day and was very lively in the afternoon. If you ask her this now, people who don't know would think we are bullying Xiaoqiao."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lu Xiaoqiao felt that she was being a little too hypocritical. She suppressed her discomfort and cheered herself up: "Aunt, I'm fine. I just had a few snacks during afternoon tea, so I don't feel hungry now."
Zhao Yaqin felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good, then I'll eat when I'm hungry."
Father Zhou took over the conversation and said, "When you go back, take some of your favorite foods with you. Today your uncle Sun sent some Guiwei lychees over. I remember that you like them, so I'll bring them all for you later."
Lu Xiaoqiao looked up at Zhou's father. She felt both sweet and sad at the moment. Fortunately, Zhou Qizhen's father had never abandoned her.
As for those who don't like her, there is no need for her to care too much, Lu Xiaoqiao comforted herself in her heart.
"Well, thanks, Dad."
…
Go to work the next day.
At noon, Lu Xiaoqiao and a few others were walking back from the cafeteria after lunch.
Lin Lin looked at Lu Xiaoqiao with some concern: "Xiaoqiao, were you really bullied by them yesterday?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "I'm not bullied, but I feel a little uncomfortable. I haven't been shopping for a long time. I walked for a long time yesterday and I'm tired."
"Okay, if you really feel uncomfortable, go back and rest for a while!"
Lu Xiaoqiao said weakly: "No need, I can hold on." She had already asked for half a day off yesterday. If she asked for leave again today, she would probably be gossiped about.
Lin Lin warned her, "I have to go out this afternoon. I didn't finish it yesterday. If you can't stand it anymore, go find Sister Jia. Don't bear it, okay? Otherwise, I will call my uncle!"
"Yeah, got it! If I really can't stand it anymore, I will definitely tell you, don't worry!"
In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoqiao came out of the bathroom and walked towards her workstation.
However, the few people who were chatting in front of her workstation just now stopped talking the moment they saw her figure.
Some looked at her with complicated and sympathetic eyes, while others looked at her with gloating eyes.
Li Na was one of them, and she did not hide the disdain and mockery in her eyes.
Although Lu Xiaoqiao was confused, she was in no mood to pay attention to her.
Until the next morning.
The flood of gossip spread throughout the office as if it had wings.
"Have you heard that Lu Xiaoqiao from our company is expected to be dumped by Jiang Heng's president!"
"Ah? Why? Didn't you say you would go to the girl's house during the Chinese New Year?"
"I heard that it seems that Jiang Heng's girlfriend is here. This time, she was arranged by President Zhou to work in the company. Everyone in Hangzhou knows that he hates people who come out of nowhere. This time, he broke the rules just because of that woman."
"No way! Then what about Lu Xiaoqiao from our company?"
"Who knows? Anyway, the news is spreading like wildfire. It is said that the girl's family also owns a company. The two families had discussed the marriage before, but the girl was too young at the time and her family was reluctant to let her go."
Lu Xiaoqiao stood at the door of the tea room of the so-called "intelligence station" of the company, listening to the rumors of her colleagues inside.
No wonder Li Na looked at me like that yesterday. I guess she must have been so happy in her heart, as she had finally waited for the day when she would be “down and out”.
Although Lu Xiaoqiao did not take these rumors seriously, she could not let them continue to ferment.
While I was free, I went to the stairwell and called Zhou Qizhen.
Secretary Ding answered the phone: "Madam, Mr. Zhou is busy right now. If it's urgent, I'll ask him to pick up the phone now."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao quickly persuaded Secretary Ding: "There's no rush. By the way, are you guys coming back tomorrow?"
"I don't think I can go back tomorrow. Something has suddenly happened here. It's a bit tricky. Mr. Zhou has called Mr. Li and Mr. Lin to come over to handle it together. It will take another four or five days if it's quick."
