After listening to what Zhou Qizhen said, Lu Xiaoqiao thought about it for a long time. Finally, she called her aunt and tactfully told her what she heard from Zhou Qizhen. As for what decision her aunt and uncle would make in the end, that was up to them.
…
The twentieth day of the lunar month.
As the New Year's Eve gets closer, everyone becomes busier and busier, even the elderly in the community are busy making dried meat, dried fish, and skewered duck, and hanging them in front of the windows or on the balcony to dry in the sun.
Although Lu Xiaoqiao has lived in Hangzhou for many years, she still can't get used to the smell of this local flavor.
Both roommates happened to be on business trips today. Qin Momo couldn't come back in the evening. Zhao Jia said it depended on the situation. She was left alone and didn't want to move. But because of the special smells she smelled when she got off work, she successfully saved a dinner.
The neighbor opposite the house has been busy with renovations every day recently. When Lu Xiaoqiao came home from get off work, she happened to see several workers moving furniture into the house. It seemed that the renovation was almost finished.
At around seven in the evening, there was a knock on the door. Lu Xiaoqiao looked out through the peephole on the door and saw a man standing outside. It was the neighbor whose temperament was very similar to Secretary Ding.
Although he knew he was his neighbor, he didn't know what kind of person he was yet, so when Lu Xiaoqiao opened the door, he asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
The man said politely, "Hello, miss, may I ask if you have a tape measure at home? If so, can you lend it to me?"
Seeing that he just wanted to borrow something, Lu Xiaoqiao let down her guard and said truthfully, "I don't have a measuring tape, but can I use a measuring tape like that?"
The other party thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Thank you. I'll return it to you after I use it."
Lu Xiaoqiao replied, "You're welcome," went into the house, found a ruler and lent it to the other party.
After a few minutes, the other party returned the ruler.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Lu Xiaoqiao was getting ready to go to bed, there was another knock on the door.
I looked out through the cat's eyes with confusion.
It was still the neighbor, but this time there was a tall and thin young man standing next to him. I thought they wanted to borrow some tools again.
However, this time she only opened the door a little, stuck her head out, and asked the two people: "What do you want?"
Without waiting for the previous person to speak, the tall and thin man looked at her and said first: "Are you the only one at home now? No one else?" After saying that, his eyes glanced into the living room behind Lu Xiaoqiao.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao's alarm bells rang all over her body. Before the two men opposite her could react, she slammed the door shut. Then, through the door, she said to the two men outside, "My boyfriend is at home."
After she finished speaking, she put her ear against the door to listen to the sounds outside. The tall and thin man seemed to want to knock on the door again, but was stopped by another person, who said something like whoever knew about it would not be spared.
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little scared and called Zhao Jia.
"Jia Jie, can you come back today?"
Zhao Jia could tell something was wrong with her tone: "I'm already at the station, Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaoqiao told her what had just happened.
Zhao Jia quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qiao. If he knocks on the door again, call the police. I'm about to get on the high-speed train and will be back soon."
After comforting her for a long time, Zhao Jia finally hung up the phone.
After they hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao was still afraid. After hesitating for a long time, she called Zhou Qizhen.
She knew that Zhou Qizhen had just returned from a business trip today, but she also knew that he had an important dinner today. Would it affect him if she called him so rashly?
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. It seemed that he was really busy. He was so tired, but she could not provide any help and was causing trouble. In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes.
I sniffed and was about to hang up when the call was connected.
The person who answered the phone was not Zhou Qizhen himself, but Secretary Ding. Lu Xiaoqiao was too embarrassed to tell him what was wrong with her, so she just said that she was calling to ask if Zhou Qizhen had finished his work.
Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, Secretary Ding said, "Ms. Lu, please wait a moment. I'll give the phone to Mr. Zhou right now."
Lu Xiaoqiao quickly said, "No need."
Secretary Ding quickly replied, "Yes, yes. President Zhou left the phone with me because he was afraid it was too noisy inside and he couldn't hear the phone. Please wait a moment. I'll give the phone to President Zhou now."
After saying that, he ran towards the private room where Zhou Qi was.
How can I not use it? I can ignore other people’s, but I must take care of the future boss’s wife’s, and it must be conveyed today.
The main thing is that when I saw the incoming call on my cell phone just now, it took me a long time to realize who the person with the note "good boy" was.
"Good girl", my God! The boss actually described his girlfriend as "good girl".
Secretary Ding rushed into the club's private room without even glancing at anyone. He quickly walked to Zhou Qizheng's side, then leaned over, put his head close to his ear, and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, this is Guaibao's phone call."
Zhou Qi was watching Secretary Ding coming in just now, and he thought something big had happened.
After Secretary Ding finished speaking, he blinked at him. Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, then he realized who Secretary Ding was talking about.
The note "good boy" was made on a whim during those days when he was away on a business trip because he missed her too much and couldn't sleep at night.
Originally, I wanted to go find her as soon as I got off the plane today, but I was intercepted here by a call from Shen Yi, asking me to attend a dinner that had been arranged a long time ago on his behalf. After dinner, I came to the club again, enduring the fatigue and longing to listen to them "howling" here.
Zhou Qizheng stood up, said hello to the people in the private room, and walked out of the room with his mobile phone.
I went outside to a relatively quiet place and said "Hello?" to make sure she was listening on the other end of the phone.
"Did I disturb you?" Lu Xiaoqiao's voice was a little timid.
Zhou Qizhen frowned slightly, because Lu Xiaoqiao had never spoken to him in such a tone before, and there was a hint of caution in every word she spoke.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can call me and I will never disturb you."
Hearing him say this, Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little relieved. She held the phone in her right hand and unconsciously placed her left hand on the quilt, constantly picking at the lace on it.
"Did something happen?" Zhou Qizhen knew her too well.
"It's nothing serious, just..." Lu Xiaoqiao recounted to him what happened that night.
After hearing this, Zhou Qizheng's expression suddenly became serious, and he warned, "Go and lock the door now. Don't open the door for anyone who knocks before I get here. Got it?"
Lu Xiaoqiao said "hmm".
After Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone, he walked out of the club without any pause. Finally, he even ran to the car and told the driver to drive to Lu Xiaoqiao's house.
On the way, I took the time to call Secretary Ding and gave him a brief explanation.
Secretary Ding returned to the private room and explained to the customers inside that President Zhou would definitely entertain them again tomorrow.
Several customers also understood, because when Mr. Zhou went out just now, it was not difficult to see from his back that there was a hint of urgency in his steps.
The other party is so anxious, how can they control them because of this? After all, they have put in a lot of effort to cooperate with Xingyao Technology Company.
…
After Lu Xiaoqiao finished calling Zhou Qizhen, she sat on the bed with her knees bent, hugged her legs, and waited for him to come. Not long after she hung up the phone, he called again.
"I just hung up the phone because I had to deal with some things. You don't have to hang up now."
Lu Xiaoqiao was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhou Qizheng whispered back, "If someone talks to you, you won't be so scared, right?"
After he said this, Lu Xiaoqiao wanted to cry again, but she was afraid that Zhou Qizhen would hear it, so she just said "hmm" as a response.
During this journey, Zhou Qizhen was patient and told her fun things in the softest tone to distract her and stop her from being so scared.
After a while, there was a dull "bang" from the phone, followed by the sound of someone coming upstairs.
Lu Xiaoqiao's heart was beating rapidly with the sound of someone going up the stairs.
