Finally, after Lin Lin's repeated requests, Zhao Yaqin agreed to let her go to work two days earlier, but she was required to wear flat shoes.
On Lin Lin's first day back at work, she brought home two bags of hazelnuts given by Lu Xiaoqiao, saying that they were specialties from her hometown that she asked her roommate to bring back when she went home on National Day.
After dinner, Lin Lin and her grandparents sat in the living room to discuss how to eat it.
Lin Lin took out a pair of small golden tongs. "Xiao Qiao said that the hazelnuts can be opened with just a pinch of this tongs. She said that these hazelnuts are wild, so they are so small, but they taste better and have higher nutritional value."
Zhao Yaqin said: "Xiao Qiao is a thoughtful child. She even brought us some special products."
He glanced at Zhou's father and said, "Eat less. How much have you eaten now? You ate it all, and I had to leave a bag for Qi Zheng. Don't eat anymore. You just finished your meal." After saying that, he snatched the hazelnuts that Zhou's father had just picked up.
Father Zhou: "..."
Lin Lin looked at her grandparents and laughed: "Let my grandpa eat it. Xiao Qiao said she also left a bag for my uncle."
Zhao Yaqin immediately perked up after hearing this: "What else did Xiao Qiao say? Did she send the hazelnuts to your uncle?"
"She didn't say anything. She said that I could call Secretary Ding and ask him to come down and get it. It's so close anyway. But my uncle is on a business trip recently."
"That's right. I don't know when I'll be back from this business trip."
Zhao Yaqin was a little anxious and irritated. No matter how much she liked the other person, she couldn't see him/her because of busy work. How could she cultivate feelings for him/her?
…
On the day of Chenxin team building, in view of the small scale of the company and the fact that offline physical stores would not participate, the leaders unanimously decided that the employees should arrange their own itineraries.
Because the hot spring adopts a pay-first-serve system, you only need to redeem the group purchase card given by the company when you leave.
Tianshui Hot Spring is simply the ceiling of Hangzhou's bathing centers, with an average ticket price of more than 1,000 yuan per person. Normally, I would only see it when watching short videos, but today I was able to experience it in person. It was really a rare opportunity. The main reason was that the company won several large orders this year, and with the high-end precedent of the company next door, the boss, who is usually more stingy than anyone else, also showed some generosity.
After Lu Xiaoqiao and her friends finished taking a shower, they changed into clothes provided by the hot spring and went to the dressing table to blow dry their hair.
"I have too much hair and it takes me half a day to blow it dry. You two can do it first." Lu Xiaoqiao gave the two unused hair dryers to Lin Lin and Zhao Jia to use first, while she simply took care of her skin with the toner and lotion on the dressing table.
"It's a pity that Momo didn't come today. The free cosmetics here are all from big brands, and I've never used them before."
Zhao Jia has short hair. He blew himself a few times before going to help Lu Xiaoqiao. "Didn't they say that they would give compensation to offline sales? That's fine. She can still get some if she's not a formal employee. However, giving her money should make her happy rather than letting her come here to play."
After Lin Lin finished her meal, she wanted to help Lu Xiaoqiao, but she stopped her and said, "Lin Lin, put on your makeup first. We have to go over there quickly because we will be leaving for breakfast soon."
"Oh well."
Considering that she would have to take a sauna soon, Lin Lin simply did some skin care and didn't put on makeup as usual. When she was done, Lu Xiaoqiao's hair wasn't blow-dried yet. She was really jealous of her hair volume.
"Okay, I won't blow dry it anymore. I'll leave it like this. I'll probably have to wash it again later. By the way, Sister Jia, will my brother-in-law come over tonight?"
Zhao Jia handed the hair dryer to another colleague who had just walked over: "Why wait until the evening? It should be in the leisure area upstairs by now."
Zhao Jia's guess turned out to be correct. When the three of them took the elevator to go upstairs to eat, when they passed the leisure area, they saw Zhao Zhizhi sitting on the lazy sofa watching the football game on the screen on the wall.
"Are you so worried about Sister Jia that you even followed her here?" Lu Xiaoqiao joked with Zhao Zhizhi, and they went to the dining area to have breakfast.
During the meal, Lin Lin received a call. After hanging up, she said to the others, "My uncle and Li Yuxuan are nearby. They said they were worried about me and insisted on coming over."
"Ah? They're both coming over? Are you still going to play with us? You can't stay here tonight."
Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised to hear that Zhou Qi was coming over, but then she thought that considering Lin Lin's family background, she would not come to such a place, let alone stay here at night.
"My grandparents agreed. My uncle doesn't usually pay much attention to me, but he just happened to be nearby and came to visit."
"Oh, okay."
After everyone finished eating, Lin Lin said that Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan came over and were in the VIP room in the rest area.
Lu Xiaoqiao knew where it was. Although the buffet was included in the ticket, some items still required payment, such as the private room that Lin Lin just mentioned. The ordinary leisure area also had tatami partitions or small tents, but there were so many people that it was really difficult to occupy one.
"Xiao Qiao, please accompany me to say hello to my uncle. I don't want to go alone." Lin Lin hugged Lu Xiaoqiao's arm and acted coquettishly.
Lu Xiaoqiao said helplessly: "What are you afraid of? Your uncle won't eat you."
Although she said this, she still walked towards the VIP room with Lin Lin. When they reached the door of the innermost room, she politely raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door of the room was opened from the inside.
"Hey! Sister Xiao Qiao is here too! Come in quickly." Li Yuxuan hurriedly invited the two of them inside.
"Hello, Brother Li. I'm here with Lin Lin." Lu Xiaoqiao greeted him and followed him into the room.
The space inside the private room is much larger than expected, about 40 square meters, and is fully equipped with a projector, leisure chairs, and a separate bathroom.
There is a row of sofas on the left side of the wall at the door. At this moment, Zhou Qi, wearing a grey shirt, is sitting on one of them, concentrating on his work. His shirt is neatly tucked into his black trousers. Even when he is sitting, his waist is smooth and flat without any trace of fat. There is a tablet computer on his legs, and his fingers are operating the keyboard skillfully and quickly.
He heard someone talking, looked up, and when he saw someone coming in, he put down his computer and said to the two of them, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Well, I just finished eating. Uncle, aren't you busy? How do you have time to come here?"
Before Zhou Qizheng could reply, Li Yuxuan, who was standing next to him, raised his lips and teased, "Your uncle has been away on a business trip for a few days. I missed him so much after not seeing him for so long. I heard that you were going to play here all day and stay here tonight. I was worried about... you. We just happened to be passing by here, so we came to see you."
He emphasized the word "you", but his worry was real. However, who he missed was only known to him and his friend.
After listening to him, Lin Lin frowned and said, "Then you won't let me stay here tonight? But our colleagues are all here, Xiao Qiao is here too, we all know each other, what can go wrong?"
Zhou Qizheng turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting next to her. The little girl's fair cheeks were rosy, probably because she had just finished taking a bath, and her eyes as clear as lake water were looking at him inquiringly.
He only glanced at her, then turned his gaze back, "She can't stay here at night."
Facing his answer, Lu Xiaoqiao said in surprise: "Ah? Why can't I do it?"
"It's OK to play during the day. Girls should avoid staying out overnight."
This isn't some improper place, Lu Xiaoqiao complained in her heart, but she didn't dare say it out loud because the other person meant well after all.
"This is our company's team building, everyone is here. Now everyone is playing separately during the day, and we girls will get together at night. It's okay."
