Wang Qianqian was always worried that her family would find out what kind of industry she worked in. They were very traditional, and although she disliked her family members, she still had to go back home eventually.
If the villagers or her parents found out that she was a technician, there would definitely be a lot of gossip, which is the main reason why she didn't want to introduce Xiao Dingdong to her.
When she heard about Xiao Dingdong from Chen Zhe, she regretted telling Xiao Dingdong what she did. She thought Xiao Dingdong was mute and wouldn't tell anyone, but she didn't expect Chen Zhe to still be able to contact her.
Chen Zhe knows he has a relationship with Xiao Dingdong. Is it possible that Xiao Dingdong has already told her family about this?
Very likely!
My parents are so eager for me to go back, it can't be just about looking at the house and decorating, right?
Does this mean I'm going back to criticize myself?
Thinking of this, she immediately became nervous.
She grabbed Chen Zhe's arm with both hands; "Chen Zhe, did she say anything inappropriate?"
Chen Zhe looked at her hand, then at her.
"She's mute, why is she talking nonsense?"
Wang Qianqian paused for a moment; "No, what I mean is... never mind, wait a minute, after I ask Sister Hu for leave, I'll go to the North District with you, I want to ask her personally."
Chen Zhe didn't really want to wait for her; he had a lot of things to do and couldn't afford to worry about so many other things.
"Why don't you just send her a message to ask?"
"No, I have to ask her myself! Wait for me downstairs! No! Wait for me at the elevator!"
Before Chen Zhe could answer, Wang Qianqian hurriedly ran to Hu Ling's office. About five minutes later, she ran back.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Wang Qianqian pulled Chen Zhe's arm and went downstairs.
...
When they returned to the Linglong Club in the North District, it was already 7 p.m., and the technicians on the fifth floor were already on duty.
Unfortunately, Xiao Dingdong was on duty when Wang Qianqian arrived, and Gu Jingyan came over today.
With no other option, Wang Qianqian had to wait in Chen Zhe's office. She curiously looked around Chen Zhe's office and felt that it was much more luxurious and grand than Yang Yun's office in the East District, both in terms of space and decoration.
"Chen Zhe, not bad. Your treatment is definitely different now that you've become a manager. Do you have the final say here?"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, not putting on any managerial airs towards his old colleague.
"That's great... When will I be able to sit in a manager's position like you?"
Wang Qianqian's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.
"As long as you work hard, I believe you can achieve it soon."
Wang Qianqian chuckled self-deprecatingly; "Forget it, I know my own limitations. Even if I were to become a manager, I probably wouldn't be able to manage it."
"It's all about human effort; as long as you have the will, you can definitely do it well."
Chen Zhe's encouragement was very generic. He could tell that Wang Qianqian wasn't the kind of person who was too ambitious. She was different from Wu Yuanyuan. Wang Qianqian was content with a modest life, while Wu Yuanyuan was the kind of person who would develop another desire after satisfying one one.
Wang Qianqian didn't think too much about this matter, because she was quite satisfied with her current income.
"By the way, is Dingdong ready yet? I've been waiting for an hour, shouldn't she be done by now?"
"It's uncertain; guests may extend their time at any time."
According to Gu Jingyan's usual practice, he wouldn't let Xiao Dingdong leave for less than two hours.
He's becoming more and more attentive to Xiao Dingdong. Sometimes Chen Zhe doesn't even understand how he can talk so much to a mute person.
Wang Qianqian was somewhat surprised; "Is she doing very well here?"
In Wang Qianqian's opinion, Xiao Dingdong was mute, so she shouldn't be able to retain customers. After all, the fifth floor was for pure green products, and even male customers wouldn't waste much time there.
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the office door.
When I opened the door, Xiao Dingdong was indeed standing outside.
Xiao Dingdong was both surprised and delighted to see Wang Qianqian.
She opened her mouth and made incoherent noises, but couldn't utter a word.
Compared to her enthusiasm, Wang Qianqian was rather cold, quickly pulling her inside and asking, "Dingdong, have you told my family about me?"
Xiao Dingdong looked puzzled for a moment, then shook her head and gestured with her hands.
Wang Qianqian clearly understands some sign language, after all, the two grew up together, and she knows what Xiao Dingdong is trying to say.
But Wang Qianqian still didn't quite believe it.
"Take out your phone, let me see if you've said anything to anyone at home."
Wang Qianqian was somewhat assertive, and Xiao Dingdong hesitated for a moment before taking it out. Chen Zhe, who was sitting to the side, did not say anything. He knew that this was probably the way these two got along.
Wang Qianqian scrolled through her phone and breathed a sigh of relief when she couldn't find any chat history with her family. However, she saw the chat history between Wang Qianqian and Gu Jingyan. Seeing that the two of them were talking so much and that their words were somewhat ambiguous, she looked at Xiao Dingdong with suspicion.
"You have a boyfriend?"
Xiao Dingdong blushed and then shook her head.
He gestured with his hand.
Wang Qianqian frowned slightly; "You're being intimate with a customer? Is that allowed?"
She looked at Xiao Dingdong and then glanced back at Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe coughed and changed the subject; "By the way, Qianqian, what time is your train back to your hometown?"
"8 a.m., what's wrong?"
"It's getting late, are you still rushing back to the East District?"
"It takes about two hours from there, and even longer if there's traffic, so I'm not going back."
"So where are you staying tonight?"
"Well... I can just book a room next door."
"Let me help you make arrangements. What kind of room would you like to stay in?"
As Chen Zhe spoke, he successfully made her forget the question he had just asked Xiao Dingdong. Xiao Dingdong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Zhe with some gratitude. She knew that Manager Chen had just helped her out of a difficult situation.
The club does have a rule that technicians cannot be overly intimate with clients, and her current relationship with Gu Jingyan has clearly exceeded that rule.
After getting the answers she wanted, Wang Qianqian didn't stay long. She asked Xiao Dingdong how she had been doing there, then left for the hotel.
After she left, Chen Zhe glanced at Xiao Dingdong.
"Has she always been so assertive? You don't seem like a best friend, more like her follower."
Xiao Dingdong lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, took out her electronic tablet, and wrote: "[Qianqian has always been like this; what she says to me is more like an order, but she's the only one willing to play with me.]"
Chen Zhe shook his head with a wry smile; "Alright, it's a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit. Has Young Master Gu gone back yet?"
He's still in the room.
"Alright, I'll go see him."
