Zhou Qizheng smiled helplessly: "Okay, go up and tell me when you get in."
"Well, you should go back as well and have some rest early."
He watched her go up reluctantly until he received her WeChat message telling him that she had entered the door, then he turned around, got in the car and left.
As soon as Lu Xiaoqiao entered the room, Zhao Jia, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled and teased her.
"Hey! Are you back? Tell me about your feelings about love!"
"Hey! How did Sister Jia guess that?"
Zhao Jia rolled his eyes and said, "You've been gone for a few hours and the car that picked up Mr. Zhou has been waiting downstairs for several hours. Do you still need to guess?"
"Tell me quickly, what did Mr. Zhou say that made you change your mind and agree to it?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little shy and didn't dare to bring up the cheesy love words Zhou Qizhen had said to her.
Just a few simple words.
After listening to this, Zhao Jia looked at Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "They are so sincere. If you don't mind, you should give them a chance to try."
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and put the barbecue she had just brought back on the coffee table for her to eat.
Zhao Jia flipped through it and asked: "What's going on? Did you two pack up everything you didn't eat?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "No, he ordered it especially for you."
"This is definitely an attempt to bribe us!"
Zhao Jia exaggerated: "Xiao Qiao, from now on I will be Mr. Zhou's lackey, you have to bear with me, the main thing is that he is really good at doing things!"
Zhao Jia took a skewer of squid, took a bite and asked, "Why did you two want to go to barbecue? Is he accustomed to it?"
"Yes, I think he likes it very much, especially the Chiba tofu."
"Oh... you love to take advantage of me! Just now, Mr. Zhou sent you back. Did you two have sex?"
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't understand what Zhao Jia meant: "Which one?"
Zhao Jia frowned and said, "It's just a kiss!"
You've already successfully confessed your love and established your relationship, why don't you ask for some benefits?
I really want to know, when this seemingly cold-faced boss kisses the girl he likes, does he kiss with his eyes open or closed?
After Zhao Jia finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqiao's face turned red. Just when she didn't know how to reply her, her cell phone rang. She saw that it was Zhou Qizhen.
"After a while of separation, he called me again!"
Lu Xiaoqiao's cheeks turned red. She ignored her teasing and turned and ran into the room.
He opened the phone and answered: "Hello! Are you home?"
"Well, I forgot to ask you, what time do you go to work in the morning? I'll drive you to pick you up."
This was the first time the two of them spoke on the phone, and a deep, magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Thinking of the question Zhao Jia had just asked, her cheeks turned red again.
"You don't have to answer it. You just came back from a business trip. Have a good rest."
"It's not just tomorrow. From now on, as long as I'm not on a business trip, I'll pick you up every day."
"Don't bother. Your home is close to the company, and you drove back to pick me up. There was a traffic jam on the road, so it's very convenient for me to take the subway. It's faster than driving during rush hour."
What Lu Xiaoqiao said was indeed true, so Zhou Qizhen did not insist anymore, and finally the two of them made an appointment to go out for dinner after get off work the next day.
…
The next day at noon.
Chenxin staff canteen.
Zhao Jia was stunned when he saw the food Lu Xiaoqiao prepared.
"Xiao Qiao, are you trying to lose weight? Why do you only eat so little, and all of it is vegetarian?"
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "No way, eating only vegetarian food won't help you lose weight! I just want to eat something light today."
In fact, she really wanted to eat meat, but the money she had had to last until the next payday, and she also had to treat Zhou Qizhen to dinner tonight, so she had to spend it frugally!
"I was shocked. I thought you were in a relationship but you brought up your idol baggage."
"Who's in love?"
Lin Lin took the food tray and sat next to Lu Xiaoqiao.
"Xiao Qiao..."
As soon as Zhao Jia opened her mouth, Lu Xiaoqiao kicked her under the table, and then signaled her with her eyes not to say anything.
Only then did I realize the "strange" relationship between Lin Lin and her sister's boyfriend. Was this something that even Lin Lin wanted to keep secret?
"I mean it's time for Xiao Qiao to fall in love!"
As soon as the three of them started eating, Lu Xiaoqiao's cell phone rang.
She marked Zhou Qizheng's incoming call number as Mr. Z.
He glanced at Lin Lin who was gnawing on chicken wings.
Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little guilty and picked up the phone, whispering in her ear, "Hello!"
"Have you had lunch yet?"
"I'm eating."
"I'm ready to eat too. Do you want to come over and eat with me? I'll ask Secretary Ding to pick you up."
At this time, Lin Lin glanced in her direction. Lu Xiaoqiao quickly stood up, asked them to eat first, and pretended that there was a customer on the other end of the phone, and went to a deserted place to answer the call.
After Lu Xiaoqiao left, Lin Lin whispered to Zhao Jia, "Is Xiaoqiao really in love? Why does the person talking there not sound like a customer?"
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "What if she is in love?"
Lin Lin said rudely, "Humph! If you want to date Xiao Qiao, you have to get past me. Not just any young boy can get Xiao Qiao. If you don't notify me or can't get past me, I'll break his legs."
Zhao Jia suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, just remember what you said today. As long as you dare to fight, we won't stop you."
…
Lu Xiaoqiao thought that they had an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, so she did not accept Zhou Qizhen's invitation at noon.
But when it was almost time to get off work, she was notified that she had to work overtime. Lu Xiaoqiao had no choice but to send a message to Zhou Qizhen to apologize and say that she would cancel the appointment.
Lu Xiaoqiao: [I have to work overtime today, so I can't have dinner with you. ]
Z: [It’s okay. What time do you finish? I’ll take you home.]
Only then did Lu Xiaoqiao realize the benefits of having a boyfriend: no matter how late it was, there was always someone responsible for taking her home safely.
There were four design groups in total, and only she and Sister Sun's group worked overtime, so Zhao Jia left work first. If it was too late, she would probably have to take a taxi home.
With Zhou Qizhen's guarantee, Lu Xiaoqiao stayed and worked with peace of mind.
When the party was almost over at nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Jia called and asked her how long it would take and whether he wanted to pick her up. Lu Xiaoqiao said that Zhou Qizhen would take her home, and hung up the phone amid Zhao Jia's teasing.
She put down her phone and looked up, and saw a young man walking towards her.
The person who came was Sister Sun’s younger brother, Sun Han.
"Xiao Qiao, are you working overtime today too?"
Lu Xiaoqiao heard him greeting her as if he knew her very well. She didn't say anything, but just smiled politely and replied with a single word: "Yeah."
In response to her coldness, Sun Han not only did not leave, but he pulled a chair from the nearby workstation and sat next to her.
Lu Xiaoqiao frowned slightly at his behavior, but she couldn't chase him away since he didn't say anything.
Within two minutes he had begun to talk non-stop.
From bragging to testing.
"I came here specially to pick up my sister from get off work. Our company is conveniently located near here. After Jiang Heng and I moved here, I heard that your rent has doubled. If I get promoted to a higher position at Jiang Heng, I will get a housing subsidy when I buy a house in the future."
"Xiao Qiao, you are not from Hangzhou, right? I heard from my sister that your family is from the Northeast? Is it very cold in winter? Why did you come to Hangzhou when you were in your teens..."
"Xiao Qiao, when you get married, if you buy a house, will your aunt buy you a house in Hangzhou?"
Lu Xiaoqiao: “……?”
Now she finally understood why the two sisters were so keen on her. Even though she had rejected them several times, they still didn't give up and kept coming to her to test her again and again.
Including today's overtime, she suspected that it was Sister Sun's work to create opportunities for Sun Han.
Ha! So he wants to be a Phoenix Man and use her, Lu Xiaoqiao, as a cushion?
