Chapter 8 Departure



As for the group purchase, Lu Xiaoqiao is currently in a state of relaxation.

This is really thanks to the power rationing. All sand washing plants have taken over autumn orders from various companies in the early stage and can no longer accept urgent orders.

Then I'll just put the money aside for a few days and follow up when I come back from Haicheng. By then, I guess he will be the one who's anxious!

At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao is considering whether or not to tell her sisters that there is a corrupt element in her uncle's company. She feels like she has discovered that her friend's husband is cheating on her and wonders whether she should tell her friend. She really doesn't know how to start the conversation.

"Okay, okay, I want to go with you. What shall we eat?" Speaking of food, Lin Lin was looking forward to getting off work soon. Since she met Lu Xiaoqiao, she realized that there are so many delicious foods in the world.

"Bullfrog! I saw you enjoyed it last time. How about two flavors for the four of us, one garlic and one basil?"

When Lu Xiaoqiao took Lin Lin to eat bullfrog for the first time, Lin Lin said she was afraid to eat it. But when the dish was served, the bullfrog was caramel-colored, and each piece was covered with soup, mixed with the aroma of garlic.

Finally, she couldn't resist the aroma and picked up a small piece with chopsticks. From then on, she fell in love with bullfrog.

Lin Lin was embarrassed at first because it was her first time eating bullfrog, but when she heard that she could have two flavors today, her embarrassment immediately disappeared.

"Very good!"

After get off work, they went directly to the bullfrog restaurant. After they arrived, they ordered the food first. When the dishes came, Qin Momo happened to arrive as well.

When we went home after dinner, Zhao Jia suddenly said, "By the way, when Lin Lin and I went to the bathroom just now, she told me that her brother couldn't take us to Haicheng that day."

Lu Xiaoqiao was shocked: "No way, what should we do? Is it too late for us to buy tickets now?"

Qin Momo, who was walking in front, took out the key and opened the door: "It's definitely too late to buy tickets now. Tickets are very difficult to buy before and after the exhibition every year. Our company avoids those days when we have business."

Qin Momo works in an advertising company in Hangzhou, with its headquarters in Haicheng.

After Zhao Jia followed Qin Momo into the house, he slumped down on the sofa in the living room.

She just lay down and stood up again to pick up Tuanzi who was wagging his tail at her, then lay down again while holding the dog.

"Someone answered the phone and said her uncle was going to Haicheng on a business trip that day and would take us with him. Hey! Lin Lin's brother seemed quite friendly. I've only met Mr. Zhou twice. His aura is so strong that I dare not breathe when I get close to him. And we can't talk to him. What can we do for more than two hours of driving?"

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect that after just a few days, she would be a primary school student next to Zhou Qizhen again: "It's okay, if he doesn't say anything, then we won't say anything either. At worst, we can just get in the car and fall asleep."

"By the way! Momo, we'll be in Haicheng for a few days so I'll trouble you."

Qin Momo likes Tuanzi very much. She used to have a dog, but later lost it. She almost lost her life because of it.

"Don't worry, we will never let you down."

"I'm absolutely sure of that."

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she went into her room, took down two sets of clothes hanging in the closet and returned to the living room.

"Let's not worry about that. I can't buy a ticket anyway. Come, help me look at these two dresses. Which one is better for me to wear that day? We are at an outdoor fashion exhibition, why do you want me to wear a skirt? You don't have any design requirements, but you are so strict with me for sales. I only have these two dresses. You two help me pick one."

Zhao Jia and Qin Momo looked at the two dresses in Lu Xiaoqiao's hands. One was a dark French suit dress, and the other was a casual fishtail skirt paired with a T-shirt.

"I don't know anything about skirts, so let Momo help you choose. I'm sorry you didn't ask me to wear a skirt, otherwise I would quit rather than risk scaring everyone to death."

Zhao Jia has always been a carefree person. His daily dressing style is always neutral, and even his hairstyle is always very simple short hair.

Qin Momo carefully examined the clothes for a while: "In theory, this French dress is more suitable, but it should be paired with more formal shoes. Will it be tiring after a day's work?"

Zhao Jia sat up from the sofa: "You should bring everything with you. Wear this fishtail top on the day you go. It's more comfortable. You can change it when you get to the venue!"

Qin Momo smiled and pushed Zhao Jia: "What fish tail? That's called a fishtail skirt."

After saying that, he turned to Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "Zhao Jia is right. You should bring them all. You will be staying in Haicheng for four days. You should bring two or three sets."

"Well, I'll tie my hair up for a few days. It's too hot today, and I don't know what the temperature is inside the venue. Even if there's air conditioning, it'll still be hot enough to kill you if you're busy."

"Not pretending to be a lady anymore?" Zhao Jia asked as he sat up.

"Lady? I've put that thing aside for now."

In the end, Lu Xiaoqiao listened to the two people's opinions and took both sets of clothes. She also brought a set of T-shirts and jeans. Two pairs of shoes would be enough, and the pants went perfectly with canvas shoes.

On the day of departure.

Lin Lin told Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia via WeChat that they didn't need to rush downstairs because it was too hot outside, and that she would call them when she got there before going downstairs.

But the two who agreed came down early and waited on the street outside the community.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a black commercial vehicle drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the two people.

After the car stopped, the electric sliding doors of the passenger seat and the back seat were opened at the same time.

First, a young man wearing glasses got out of the passenger seat and walked towards Lu Xiaoqiao: "Hello, Miss Lu! I will help you two put your luggage in the back."

"Thank you, Secretary Ding."

The man was Zhou Qizhen's chief secretary. Due to Lin Lin's relationship, Lu Xiaoqiao had met him several times. This Secretary Ding was always polite and courteous every time he saw her, and he was very well-mannered.

"Xiao Qiao, didn't I ask you two to wait upstairs? It's so hot, you must have been waiting for a long time, hurry up and get in the car!" Lin Lin got out of the car, followed by Li Yuxuan.

"These are my uncle's good friends, and these two are my friends, Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia." Lin Lin introduced them to several people.

"Hello!" Li Yuxuan greeted Zhao Jia first and then turned to Lu Xiaoqiao: "Ms. Lu, do you remember me?"

"Of course I remember, Mr. Li."

"Do you know each other?" Lin Lin couldn't remember when she introduced the two people to each other.

"The day your brother helped Miss Lu move, your uncle and I were also riding in your brother's car."

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car. It's too hot. Lin Lin, you three will sit in the front. Your uncle and I will sit in the back."

Just as Lin Lin was about to get into the car, Li Yuxuan pulled her down.

"Why are you pulling me here?" Lin Lin turned around and glared at Li Yuxuan.

"Why? Are you so rude? Let your friend go first." Because of Zhou Qizhen's relationship, Li Yuxuan has always regarded Lin Lin as a junior, so he usually speaks more casually.

There were two rows of seats at the back of the business car. He and Zhou Qi were sitting at the back. Today, the innermost seat in the front row could only be occupied by Lu Xiaoqiao. Only there was the best seat for a good brother to see his future wife.

Lin Lin, Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia were used to being free and easy when they were with each other. They didn't even remember the etiquette of entertaining guests. They had forgotten everything they learned in etiquette class to the teacher.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Qiao, you and Sister Jia go first, I'll sit on the outside."

Lu Xiaoqiao got into the car first without any hesitation.

As soon as I got in the car, my eyes met the deep eyes of the man sitting in the back seat.

Today Zhou Qi was wearing a pure white long-sleeved shirt with two buttons undone on his collar without a tie. He looked a little younger than usual. His long legs were wrapped in his unchanging dark, straight suit pants. He sat there casually and naturally.
