After watching her until she disappeared from sight, Zhou Qizhengfang turned around and went into the building with some reluctance.
He returned to the office, and instead of resting or rushing to work, he sat on the sofa and thought about Lu Xiaoqiao's expression just now.
Although she didn't say anything, her expression showed what she was thinking. She felt that he couldn't even peel a hazelnut properly.
Just after lunch break, Lu Xiaoqiao turned on her computer to prepare for work when she received a photo sent by Zhou Qizhen.
When I opened the picture, I saw a dozen whole, peeled hazelnuts neatly placed on the brown desk.
Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that he was very competitive!
Immediately afterwards, the other party sent another message.
Z【The hazelnuts are delicious, thank you.】
Lu Xiaoqiao [You're welcome, Mr. Zhou, as long as you like it. [Happily]]
As long as he likes to eat it, I was afraid that people would dislike it.
Z【It’s so delicious that I don’t want to eat it. 】
Lu Xiaoqiao [Mr. Zhou, just eat it without worry! I'll have my mom send it over by express in a few days.]
Z【Will it be troublesome? 】
Lu Xiaoqiao [No, express delivery is very convenient, as long as you like to eat it [grin]]
She told her mother more than once that the elders in her friend's family were very kind to her and that she liked the local specialties. Her mother would probably be very happy to know that.
Because of those messages, Zhou Qizhen was in a happy mood the whole afternoon. Although he couldn't show anything on his face, his attitude during the meeting was obviously more talkative than usual, which made all the executives in the meeting room relax.
When I get off work in the evening, the weather suddenly gets a little colder. It was so hot during the day that I wanted to take out my short-sleeved shirts, but now it’s so cold that I want to put on another coat.
When Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia arrived home, they were about to open the door when they saw the door opposite them being opened from the inside. Zhao Zhizhi walked out and hugged Zhao Jia, saying weakly, "Baby! I have a cold!"
Hearing him calling out her nickname, Lu Xiaoqiao got goosebumps all over her body and rubbed her arms together: "Hey!! That's enough for me. I don't even need to eat dinner."
Zhao Jia raised his hand and touched his head: "Do you have a high fever? Have you been to the hospital?"
Zhao Zhizhi continued to hold her tightly and said, "I went there and got some medicine. I just took it."
"Xiao Qiao, please go inside first. I'll go over and keep him company for a while."
"Okay, Sister Jia, are you coming back to stay tonight?" She said with a mischievous wink.
Zhao Jia smiled and hit her: "What do you think?"
Although the two have known each other for a long time and have been in love for two years, Zhao Zhizhi said that as long as he is not able to provide a safe haven for the person he likes, he will not take the last step. He said he is afraid that the person he loves will regret it.
In his own words, if you can't afford it, then you can't afford it either.
"Then I'll cook some porridge and we'll eat together later."
After everyone finished their meal, Lu Xiaoqiao cleaned up the kitchen, washed up, and then lay on the bed to check her phone.
When it was almost nine o'clock, I remembered what Qin Momo said yesterday about working part-time in a bar. After thinking about it, I was still a little worried, so I sent her a message. After waiting for ten minutes, there was no reply from the other party. Thinking that she was probably busy and didn't see her, I called her directly. However, the ringtone rang for a long time and no one answered. Lu Xiaoqiao was a little anxious.
Suddenly I remembered that Momo said she went there with Jinling that day, so I quickly called Jinling's cell phone number. Fortunately, the two of them left their contact information with each other when they went to the temple together.
The ringtone rang for more than ten times before it was picked up. As soon as the call was connected, I heard deafening music and the noise of a bustling crowd coming from the other end of the phone.
Without waiting for the other end to speak, Lu Xiaoqiao asked anxiously: "Hey! Jinling, is Momo with you? I just sent her a message but she didn't reply, and I called her but she didn't answer, you guys..."
"Beep!" The phone was hung up.
I don’t know whether she hung up on me on purpose or it was an accident. Just when I was about to call her again, I received a message from her.
[Come here quickly, Momo is in some trouble. ]
After seeing the message from Jin Ling, Lu Xiaoqiao's heart began beating uncontrollably. She ran to the opposite room while sending her a message asking what happened and if she was in danger.
Regardless of whether the neighbors were asleep or not, they would come out and scold her for disturbing others. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" they banged on Zhao Zhizhi's door.
"Jia Jie, Zhao Zhizhi, you two should come out quickly."
Just as Zhao Jia was about to go back home, he heard loud knocks on the door outside his room. Zhao Zhizhi, who had just fallen asleep, was also woken up: "Who is it?"
Zhao Jia took the clothes placed beside the bed and said, "It looks like Xiao Qiao. Go to bed quickly. I'm going back too."
When I opened the door, I saw Lu Xiaoqiao standing outside with disheveled hair, looking anxious as if she was going to tear the door down if I didn't open it.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qiao?"
"Jia Jie, something happened to Momo!"
"What's wrong with Momo?" Zhao Zhizhi walked out of the room upon hearing the voice.
Lu Xiaoqiao explained the whole story, and they quickly changed their clothes and took a taxi to where Momo worked part-time.
When they arrived at the location, Zhao Zhizhi paid the bill, opened the car door and ran into the bar, with Zhao Jia and Lu Xiaoqiao following closely behind him.
Lu Xiaoqiao had never been to a bar before. She walked through a corridor before entering. As soon as she entered, her eardrums were hit by the harsh music. The lights inside were dim, and the crowd was surging, with noise, clinking of glasses, and cheers intertwined together.
Jin Ling later sent a message saying that she and Momo were in the booth. They took a lot of effort to get through the noisy crowd to the relatively quiet booth area.
Lu Xiaoqiao anxiously scanned the entire booth area, and finally saw Qin Momo near the bar. Seeing that she was still standing there safely, she finally felt relieved.
Qin Momo stood there with her head down. On the table in front of her was a tower of wine glasses, with hundreds of dollars in cash on each layer. The lower she went, the more money there was, which meant more wine.
These are the commissions she earned today. She thought she could get so much money by selling so many bottles of wine on the first day. However, because she accidentally soiled the bag of the other person's girlfriend, she had to finish all the wine in front of her as an apology.
She had been stuck here for nearly half an hour. It was clearly his girlfriend who bumped into her and she spilled the wine, but even after she apologized it was no use. Later she said that she didn't want today's commission, but the other party said that she had to pay for it. Thirty thousand yuan was too much for her to afford.
The doctor had clearly told her not to drink alcohol, but if she had drunk it, she should still have time to go to the hospital for gastric lavage.
At this time, a man in a burgundy shirt sitting in the middle of the booth said slowly, "If you don't drink, the compensation will not be the same later. You will have to pay for my girlfriend's bag separately."
After hearing what he said, Qin Momo finally reached out to the top of the wine glass tower and was about to pick it up.
"Wait."
Hearing Zhao Zhizhi's voice, she turned her head to look at him, and saw her two roommates standing behind him, asking them why they were here.
Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia hurriedly walked up to her, held her hands, and used their bodies to tell her not to be afraid. At this moment, Qin Momo was more afraid of dragging her friends into this.
Her broken life was not afraid of being broken even more, but they were all good people, and there was no need for them to get involved with a group of rich second-generations whom they could not afford to offend because of her.
