Zhou Qian didn't answer the call immediately, but turned on the recording before answering it, and then answered, "Hello."
"How's it going?"
Zhou Qian's eyes fell on the fingers that were burned two days ago. The blisters there had broken, leaving a faint scar.
She touched the small scar thoughtfully and replied, "I haven't been able to contact Lu Jing recently."
"So he hasn't taken the medicine yet?"
"How can I get him to eat if I can't contact him?"
"You haven't seen each other in the past few days?"
"I have seen it, but I didn't have the chance to do it." The first two days were in a public place at a western restaurant, so she didn't dare say she hadn't seen it in case Lu Qianqian followed her.
Lu Qianqian was silent for a moment before she spoke, "Zhou Qian, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"Are you a monkey?"
On the phone, Lu Qianqian took a deep breath, but didn't get angry. "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Lu Jing is having a banquet at the Golden Goblet this weekend. I'll try to get you in. You'll know what to do then."
"No need, I'll find a way in myself."
"Zhou Qian, you'd better not play any tricks on me, otherwise I will make you die miserably."
"Get your one million ready." Zhou Qian's gaze fell casually on one place, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as you help me destroy Lu Jing, I won't give you a penny less."
Zhou Qian suddenly chuckled, "Lu Qianqian, you have to understand that my one million is only for Lu Jing to take the medicine you gave him, and it doesn't cover anything else."
"Zhou Qian, are you kidding me?" Lu Qianqian's dissatisfied voice came, "Giving Lu Jing a pill costs one million. Do you think my money is free?"
"You know the extent of the risk I'm taking. If I help you destroy Lu Jing, you'll get tens of billions in assets. In comparison, is this little request of mine even worth mentioning?"
Lu Qianqian was silent for a moment, "Okay, as long as we have a pleasant cooperation, I will give you three million."
"Five million."
"Zhou Qian, don't push your luck." Lu Qianqian was clearly angry, and quite angry. "I have plenty of women who can get close to Lu Jing. I don't need you."
"Then find someone else."
Zhou Qian took the phone away from her ear, but didn't mean to hang up. She knew that Lu Qianqian would not miss the opportunity to drag her into this.
"Wait a minute..." Lu Qianqian hurriedly stopped her, and endured it again and again, "Okay, I promise you."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Zhou Qian hung up the phone, played with the phone in his hand for a while, and then dialed another number.
"Honey, why do you have time to think of me today?" Jiang Ningning's seductive voice came from the phone.
Zhou Qian raised her lips, "Baby, I remember there's a friend of mine who's the manager of the Golden Goblet Club, right?"
"Yeah, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Please ask if you can find me a part-time job there, as a waiter."
"Your scumbag dad has caused you trouble again?" Jiang Ningning's voice suddenly rose several times higher with anger.
"No, I just want to make more money." Zhou Qian said in a calm tone, and Jiang Ningning believed him.
"The waiters there are divided into different levels. The higher the level, the higher the salary. Which one do you want to be?"
"If you want to make money, of course you should make the most." With Lu Jing's status, he must be a top-tier customer, and only the highest-level waiters can approach him.
"But it seems that senior waiters need to accompany guests to drink. Can you do that?"
"Let's give it a try." It's just for one night.
"Okay, I'll say hello to her. If you can't handle it, try someone else."
"Thank you. Love you."
"If you love me, find me a man." Jiang Ningning wailed on the phone.
"You, a female sea queen, need me to find a man?" Why is she so unconvinced!
Jiang Ningning laughed heartily over there, and after she finished laughing she didn't forget to ask her, "By the way, have you made another date with Lu Jing recently?"
Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, then quickly answered her, "No! We haven't been in touch for a long time."
"Is it really just like that?"
Zhou Qian raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "What else? Hold a press conference to announce it?"
Jiang Ningning chuckled and said with some regret, "You don't play with such a high-quality man more often. You really don't know how to enjoy it."
"I don't think so."
Jiang Ningning suddenly changed the subject, "But it's better to break up. Only when it's over will you think about finding the next one. Besides, how many people can control themselves from being tempted by a man like Lu Jing? If I really am tempted..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ningning chuckled coldly.
"So what if I'm really attracted to you?" Zhou Qian tried to sound as casual as possible so no one would notice anything.
"Of course he's like a moth to a flame, shattered to pieces. With someone who's been around so many women, how can you expect him to give you love?"
That’s true.
Zhou Qian nodded in agreement, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before a customer came to Zhou Qian's side.
…
Lu Jing has not appeared since that night, and even the message from Zhou Qian fell into oblivion, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Zhou Qian didn't take it seriously, thinking that night was just a breakup. In the next few days, she went to work, went home, and her life returned to normal.
But the peace didn't last long, as Zhou Qian discovered some suspicious signs. Every time she came out of the subway station, there were always people dressed in secretive clothes following her closely.
That day, Zhou Qian got off work and went home. Instead of going home directly, she went to a nearby supermarket and wandered around for a while to confirm whether those people were coming for her.
But when she came out of the supermarket, she didn't see any suspicious people nearby.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that she was just overthinking it.
Zhou Qian was crossing the road carrying something when suddenly an out-of-control car came out from nowhere and rushed straight towards her amid the screams of passers-by.
Looking at the car rushing towards him, Zhou Qian was so scared that he forgot to dodge for a moment, or rather, he had no time to dodge.
Just as the car hit her, a dark shadow suddenly pounced over and Zhou Qian was pushed out, followed by a loud 'bang'.
