When Lu Xiaoqiao was about to get off work, she received a courier package. The address showed that it was from her hometown in Northeast China.
When she opened it, she saw that they were all her favorite hometown specialties. Lu Xiaoqiao divided these specialties into four portions, muttering to herself who each portion was for.
"Who is this for?" Lin Lin asked, pointing to a copy placed nearby.
Of course it's for your dear uncle, but of course you can't say that. Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't think of anything to say, so she said, "It's for a client."
Lin Lin said "Oh" without any doubt.
At lunch, Zhao Jia made an excuse that she and Qin Momo were busy in the evening and could not spend Lu Xiaoqiao's birthday with her! Could they make it up to her tomorrow night? In the end, Lin Lin had no choice but to compromise, and Lu Xiaoqiao gave Zhao Jia a grateful smile.
After getting off work in the evening, Zhou Qizhen picked up Lu Xiaoqiao, and the two went to the Cantonese restaurant that Lu Xiaoqiao had chosen last time.
She had been here once before and fell in love with the food after tasting it. She had previously mistakenly believed that Cantonese cuisine was simply dishes cooked in water. No one had ever told her that the most important thing about Cantonese cuisine is that the ingredients must be extremely fresh so that the taste can be amazing.
The two arrived at the restaurant. Since Zhou Qi was on a business trip and his return time was uncertain, he did not book a private room, so the two of them could only sit in the lobby today.
We ordered boiled chicken, barbecued pork with honey sauce, roasted pigeon, a vegetable dish, and finally a special foie gras.
When the dishes came, Zhou Qizhen picked up a piece of foie gras and put it on Lu Xiaoqiao's plate: "The foie gras here is not authentic. Try it first. If you like it, I'll take you to a French restaurant next time."
Lu Xiaoqiao tasted it and said, "This is delicious. I have never eaten foie gras before. I didn't know it had such a dense texture. And this boiled chicken is delicious too. You really know how to eat. I didn't know Cantonese cuisine was so delicious before."
Zhou Qi was looking at Lu Xiaoqiao tenderly, and his stern face became particularly gentle. Seeing that she was eating happily, the corners of his mouth also turned up. There was no trace of the stern and majestic look he usually had in the company.
Zhou Qizhen was so busy picking up food for her that he didn't even have time to eat a few bites. Lu Xiaoqiao reached out and picked up a piece of boiled chicken for him and put it on his plate: "You should eat quickly too! From now on, I will just follow you. I will eat whatever you eat. I think everything you recommend is delicious."
Zhou Qizheng couldn't help laughing, imitating Lu Xiaoqiao's speaking style: "Just follow your preferences, we'll eat whatever you want to eat, in fact, I can also hang out with you."
Lu Xiaoqiao raised her index finger and waved it a few times: "No, No, No, in the future, when it comes to eating, you must not follow my taste. With your stomach, if you follow me, you will be hungry for three days and nine meals."
Zhou Qizhen couldn't help but chuckle, but this was also very rare. Only when he was with the girl in front of him could his heart be filled and relaxed. It was a kind of pure joy. There was no intrigue in business wars, only the simple happiness brought to him by this lovely girl in front of him.
The two of them ate their meal while chatting and laughing.
Just when we were chatting happily, we saw several people in black suits walking hurriedly into the restaurant.
It was not difficult to see that the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking in front was their leader. After coming in, he glanced around the restaurant. When his sight fell on Lu Xiaoqiao's table, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly led the group to the dining table.
He bent his waist slightly, looked attentive, and whispered, "Mr. Zhou?"
The two people who were eating sweetly were suddenly interrupted. Zhou Qizhen frowned slightly and glanced at the man who was standing beside their dining table with his waist slightly bent.
Seeing that Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything, the man introduced himself and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou. My last name is Wang Tao, and I'm the general manager of Hongfa Shopping Mall."
Zhou Qi looked unhappy: "So what?"
Wang Tao smiled flatteringly, and then, as if he had been treated coldly without noticing, he continued, "It's like this, I knew you were having dinner here, and I rushed over immediately. I know you are usually very busy, but I really hope that Mr. Zhou can give our Hongfa a chance, and I will lead the team..."
"Mr. Wang." Zhou Qi, with a sullen face, interrupted him in a cold voice.
After a moment, he continued, "I don't talk about work in my personal time. If you have something to do, you can go through the normal appointment process."
Wang Tao smiled awkwardly. He also wanted to follow the normal process, but the problem was that he couldn't! He couldn't even get through Jiang Heng's door.
Today I finally got the chance. I met my brother-in-law when he came here for dinner. It happened that he had met Zhou Qizhen before and knew that my brother-in-law had always wanted to meet Zhou Qizhen, but he could only sigh in despair.
Thinking that tonight was an opportunity, I quickly contacted him.
"Mr. Zhou, you..."
Zhou Qizheng raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.
Wang Tao was unwilling to give up. If he failed to reach a cooperation agreement with Jiang Heng this time, he would have to give up the company he had run for many years. Would he really let such a good opportunity go to waste? But the man in front of him had made up his mind, and he could do nothing about it.
Knowing that things have come to this, I suddenly felt several years older, and my slightly bent back seemed to be crushed by reality and could no longer be lifted up.
When he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked up and saw a pair of sympathetic and clear eyes looking at him.
Wang Tao was also observing Lu Xiaoqiao, and at the same time, he glanced at Zhou Qizhen who was sitting opposite her. He knew that Zhou Qizhen had never been married, and he had never heard of any marriage partner, but who was the girl in front of him?
When he just came in, he saw Zhou Qizhen's meticulous actions and expressions towards the girl, but at that time his mind was completely focused on the cooperation and he had no time to care about anything else. The fact that the arrogant Zhou Qizhen could put aside his status and come here to have dinner with her showed that this girl was destined to be extraordinary.
Wang Tao's originally dull eyes suddenly brightened up, as if he saw the bright stars in the endless darkness.
His wrinkled brows slowly relaxed, a sincere smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he looked at Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "This... is Mr. Zhou's wife, right?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned, and quickly raised her eyes to look at Zhou Qizhen who was sitting opposite her.
Not to mention Lu Xiaoqiao, even Zhou Qizhen was stunned when he heard his words just now, then raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Wang Tao saw that his bet was right, and he smiled with relief. Then he said to the two people sitting there, "Mrs. Zhou is so young and beautiful, and her temperament is as elegant as an orchid. Standing together with Mr. Zhou, they are really a match made in heaven..."
Lu Xiaoqiao was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Seeing that Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say either. But what was wrong with this man? He looked a little old, humble and pitiful just now, but how could he suddenly become a flatterer?
Zhou Qi was looking at Lu Xiaoqiao. Seeing that her cheeks had already turned red because of Wang Tao's words, he knew that this was already the limit.
