"By the way, you still owe me a meal. When will you treat me?" Tang Qian suddenly asked her.
Lu Xiaoqiao was slightly startled, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, she remembered that she had indeed agreed to this matter before, not to mention that the other party had helped a lot, it was reasonable to treat him to a meal.
It just so happened that Lin Lin and Zhao Jia were also here today, so there was no need to make an appointment specifically.
"I haven't forgotten. Why not do it today? It's almost lunch time."
Tang Qian said: "I'm fine with either. It depends on your time."
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him and said, "But my friend is nearby and might want to join us. Do you mind?"
Since Tang Qian was going to let go, he would not care about these small details: "It's okay, it's lively here, just call your friends over to eat together."
After making the decision, Lu Xiaoqiao shared the general situation in the group.
Lin Lin and Zhao Jia asked her to choose the address for dinner and they would go there directly later.
Lu Xiaoqiao took out her phone and used the app to check what food was nearby: "Mr. Tang, what kind of cuisine do you like?"
After Tang Qian let it go, he spoke in his usual uninhibited style: "I don't care. You can eat anything. It depends on what you want to eat."
Lu Xiaoqiao fiddled with her phone and saw on the map that there was a Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor. The style was quite high, which was in line with her promise to treat him to a good meal!
"Cantonese cuisine is okay?" Lu Xiaoqiao looked up at him.
"Okay, is it the one upstairs?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded: "Yeah, I think the ratings are pretty high."
"If it's that restaurant, then we should hurry over there and wait for your friend. Otherwise, it will be lunch time and they probably won't have any seats."
"Okay, let's go there first."
Lu Xiaoqiao and Tang Qian first went to the Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor. They originally wanted a private room, but the private rooms here had to be booked in advance.
Lu Xiaoqiao asked the waiter to choose a quiet seat that could accommodate four people.
After asking Tang Qian to choose a few dishes from the menu, Lu Xiaoqiao posted the menu in the group and asked Lin Lin and Zhao Jia what they wanted to eat.
Lin Lin: [We are done here too. You can place your order for the dishes you have chosen. By the time Jiajie and I get here, the dishes will probably be ready! ]
Lu Xiaoqiao: [Okay, I’ll place the order first. ]
When the dishes started to come out, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia had not arrived yet, and Lu Xiaoqiao was a little anxious.
Lu Xiaoqiao: [Where are you two? The dishes are starting to be served, @林琳@趙佳. ]
Zhao Jia: [We're already here. Lin Lin has gone to the bathroom. I'll be right there.]
Lu Xiaoqiao: [Okay. OK]
Lu Xiaoqiao put down her phone and waited for the two little sisters, but unexpectedly, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia did not show up, but Wang Yumei showed up instead.
"Xiao Qiao?"
Lu Xiaoqiao turned around and looked behind her, her body suddenly froze. It was over!
This morning there was a call from the old house asking her and Lin Lin to go back for dinner in the evening. Lu Xiaoqiao made the excuse that she had a cold and didn't want to move, but now she was caught red-handed.
Lu Xiaoqiao stood up awkwardly: "Aunt, come over and have dinner too!"
Wang Yumei walked to Lu Xiaoqiao with her bag in her left hand, turned her head and glanced at Tang Qian, then turned her gaze to Lu Xiaoqiao again.
The tone was neither warm nor cold: "Having dinner with friends?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was embarrassed, but she quickly explained: "Our company's client, Lin Lin and my colleague will be here soon. We have agreed to have dinner together."
"Then you guys eat, I also have a date with friends."
After Wang Yumei left, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia came over.
Seeing Lin Lin's obviously excited expression, Lu Xiaoqiao asked her in confusion, "What's the good news? You look so happy."
Lin Lin smiled happily and said, "My mother came back early and is now in Beijing. She will be back in two days after taking care of some things."
Lu Xiaoqiao was also happy for her: "Really? That's great!"
…
After they finished their meal, Lu Xiaoqiao went to the front desk to settle the bill.
Wang Yumei and her friend just finished eating and were walking to the front counter. When Lu Xiaoqiao saw them, she said, "Aunt, have you and your friend finished eating? Give me the bill and I'll settle it together."
Although Wang Yumei looked down on her nephew's wife, she gave her enough face in front of her friends because she saw that she was so sensible.
She did not refuse and handed the bill to Lu Xiaoqiao with a faint smile.
Lu Xiaoqiao took the bill and asked the waiter to add it to her table's bill. But when she was about to pay with her phone, she found that it was out of battery.
I forgot to charge my phone last night, and I just spent the whole morning watching videos. Now my phone has automatically turned off.
"Excuse me, do you have any chargers or power banks here?"
The clerk glanced at the brand of her phone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss. My phone is a different brand from yours. The power bank is on the back floor."
"What's wrong?" Wang Yumei asked as she approached the front desk.
Lu Xiaoqiao clenched the phone in her hand shyly: "My phone is out of battery."
Wang Yumei frowned, looking unhappy. Not even a minute had passed since she was praised for being sensible, and she had already embarrassed herself in front of her friend.
"I'll do it myself, you can charge slowly."
Seeing Wang Yumei was unhappy, Lu Xiaoqiao also felt that what she did today was wrong. Suddenly she remembered something and quickly grabbed Wang Yumei's phone, which was about to pay, and asked the waiter, "Can you pay by credit card?"
The waiter nodded: "Sure."
Lu Xiaoqiao said happily, "Then I'll swipe the card!" Then she turned to Wang Yumei and said, "Aunt, I have the card with me, so I'll pay!"
She put the two cards that Zhou Qizhen had given her into her bag. She said that the cards were too small and would be easy to lose without a wallet.
Zhou Qizhen asked her to put it in the phone case so it would be more convenient to use.
Wang Yumei said unhappily, "Are you sure there is enough money in the card? Don't let me tell you that the balance is insufficient later."
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, aunt, it will definitely be enough."
When Lu Xiaoqiao took out the two bank cards from the back of the phone case, Wang Yumei and the waiter were both stunned.
The waiter looked at Lu Xiaoqiao again and thought: She looks very ordinary in her clothes, nothing luxurious at all. I didn't expect her to take out two such amazing cards.
"Both savings cards and credit cards can be used!" Lu Xiaoqiao asked the waiter.
The waiter nodded quickly: "Yes, yes." It must be possible. If it can't be swiped, we have to make it work even if we have to set up a new machine today.
She has never used this global limited edition card on her machine, and she is excited just thinking about it.
"Okay, then, let's use the black one!"
"Okay." The waiter took it with some excitement.
After the bill was settled, Wang Yumei called Lu Xiaoqiao outside with an unhappy look on her face.
"What's wrong, aunt?"
Wang Yumei glanced at the two cards that Lu Xiaoqiao was still holding in her hand and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "The card you just used, was it given to you by Qi Zheng?"
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…” Could it be that I stole it?
"Um."
"Did he give it to you himself, or did you ask for it?"
