Zhou Qizhen gave Lu Xiaoqiao a few more careful instructions before turning around and leaving under the gazes of his colleagues in the office.
After Zhou Qizhen left, Zhao Jia couldn't help but laugh and said, "You guys really know how to have fun."
Lin Lin covered her mouth and whispered, "I learned all this from my aunt."
Lu Xiaoqiao pretended to hit her, and Lin Lin smiled and hid behind Zhao Jia: "Jia Jie, look how fierce Xiaoqiao is now, it's all because someone spoiled her."
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "I know you're still telling me, you see I don't even dare to tell you."
Lu Xiaoqiao pretended to be angry: "If you two continue to do this, I will be angry!"
When Zhao Jia heard this, he quickly begged for mercy, "No, no, no, I was wrong. You are the boss now, we dare not offend you."
Zhao Jia had just learned that Lu Xiaoqiao was pregnant. After the shock period, he thought to himself that President Zhou was really amazing.
They stopped joking and got down to business: "Jia Jie, if you don't let me be a bridesmaid, then I will only have two bridesmaids!"
Zhao Jia shrugged, "Please don't embarrass me. I've never worn a skirt in my life, let alone a tube top. What an international joke. You might as well find Zhao Zhizhi instead of me. Let him wear a skirt so I can be Mr. Zhou's best man."
Lu Xiaoqiao suppressed her laughter and said, "I think it's feasible. By the way, Jiajie, go home today and tell Momo that she will be free on Saturday, right? Is she still working part-time? If not, then let Zhou Qizhen take you to my house and we can have dinner together!"
Zhao Jia nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to your house on Saturday to talk. It's not good for me to come over and chat for too long during work hours."
"Then Sister Jia, you should go back as soon as possible! Don't wait to be scolded."
"Well, let's study it on Saturday."
After Zhao Jia left, Lu Xiaoqiao sat at her original workstation and helped Lin Lin organize the atlas.
"Xiao Qiao, Momo really doesn't agree to be a bridesmaid?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded, a little worried: "Yes! I asked her on WeChat this morning, and she said that she was unlucky and not suitable to be a bridesmaid. She was afraid that it would be bad for me."
"Momo is so pitiful. How could she say that about herself?"
Lu Xiaoqiao sighed: "Who said it wasn't true? I'll try to persuade her when she goes home on Saturday."
Lin Lin strung the arranged albums together with a rope and tied a knot. "So what should the chef prepare to entertain everyone on Saturday? We have to prepare it in advance."
Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat barbecue, but I'm afraid someone will disagree."
Lin Lin was puzzled: "Why? Are you still afraid of him?"
“He said it was unhealthy.”
"Oh, all right then!"
Seeing that Lin Lin had also compromised, Lu Xiaoqiao said somewhat unwillingly: "Actually, it's okay to have a meal once in a while, right?"
Lin Lin didn't dare to respond: "Ah? You have to ask your boss Zhou if this is true or not. I dare not say."
It would have been fine if I hadn't mentioned the urge to eat barbecue before, but now that I mention it, my urge to eat barbecue has reached its peak, and I can't wait to eat it right now.
She was thinking about how to convince Zhou Qizhen to take her to eat barbecue when she heard someone calling her.
"Xiao Qiao? Are you in the company?"
Lu Xiaoqiao looked up and saw Zhang Minzhi standing next to her workstation holding a folder.
She stood up quickly and said, "Aunt, you usually go home at this time. I thought you were not in the company."
Zhang Minzhi waved the folder in her hand and said, "You didn't go back because you didn't finish some things. Why are you here alone? I saw Mr. Zhou just now. Has he gone back?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded: "Well, he has a meeting to attend. I will stay here for a while and he will come to pick me up after get off work."
Zhang Minzhi thought about it and said to her, "Is that so? Then it's just right for you to come with me. I just have something to tell you."
Lu Xiaoqiao pulled out the stool and said, "Okay."
Lin Lin held Lu Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Hey! Don't go! If you leave, how will I explain this to Mr. Zhou?"
Lu Xiaoqiao said with some amusement: "Listen to him, then you have to install a tracker on me. It's okay. I'll call you if there's anything."
Lin Lin was still a little worried and said, "Then you better be careful! If anything happens to you, I won't be able to survive either."
Lu Xiaoqiao waved to her: "Don't worry!"
Lu Xiaoqiao followed Zhang Minzhi to the small conference room. After closing the door, Lu Xiaoqiao sat in front of her.
"Aunt, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Minzhi smiled and glanced at her, then dropped her gaze on her belly: "How many months have you been pregnant? Are you having any pregnancy symptoms?"
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "More than two months, it's been fine! Sometimes I want to eat everything, and sometimes I can't eat a single bite, but in general, I can still eat a lot."
Zhang Minzhi's smile deepened: "Same as when your mother was pregnant with your brother."
Lu Xiaoqiao understood the deep meaning of her aunt's words. Marrying into a family like Zhou Qizhen's, many people would be bound by the word "heir".
However, she also asked Zhou Qizhen this question, and he said that whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all his children, and from the moment a boy was born, he would definitely be trained as an heir.
Just like him, there is always a lot to learn and it's very tiring.
As for a girl, let her be a carefree little princess, and the company can hire a professional manager to take care of her in the future.
Thinking about it this way, it would be better to have a girl.
From Zhang Minzhi's expression, she looked like she didn't care at all whether it was a boy or a girl.
It seemed that the Zhou family had not put any pressure on her in this regard, so she felt relieved.
"I called you here to tell you about the profits from Jiang Heng's group purchase. They paid the balance a few days ago, and I've also made an account. I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you tomorrow."
Lu Xiaoqiao stopped her immediately after hearing this: "Aunt, you really don't have to give it to me. Zhou Qizhen said that even without me, Jiang Heng would have ordered this group purchase, saying that he was going to hold a sports meet, so you don't have to think too much about it. If you insist on giving it to me, it will make me even more uncomfortable!"
Zhang Minzhi smiled and changed the subject: "I heard from your grandmother that when you got married, the Zhou family asked relatives from your hometown to come a week in advance?"
Speaking of home, Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Well, my father-in-law said that the weather will be neither too hot nor too cold at the end of the month, and we normally don't have time, so I'll take this opportunity to take everyone on a tour of Hangzhou."
“How many people will come?”
"My mom said there were more than 20 people! Because the time is too long, some families can't afford to spend that much time, especially those with children in school."
Zhang Minzhi nodded: "Indeed, has your mother asked your second aunt? Is she coming?"
When talking about Zhang Minhua, Lu Xiaoqiao said calmly, "Yes, I came. My mother said my second aunt and second uncle-in-law are here. It's a good opportunity for them to come and see their daughter."
See your daughter?
Zhang Minzhi sighed in her heart, thinking that it would be better not to come, as she would be exhausted after coming.
Li Na told her a few days ago that she had bought the wedding house. The down payment was not that much, so she only bought an old residential complex on the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, it was a school district house, so she would not have to worry about her children's schooling in the future.
