"Don't thank me yet. I'm just a supervisor. I don't have that much power. It's President Lu who really helped you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen froze on the spot: "President Lu?"
Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that it would be Lu Zheng who helped him.
"Of course, President Lu was furious with our senior management and security department yesterday because of the incident where you were bullied by an intruder."
The supervisor vividly described to Qiao Zhen how Lu Zheng had lost his temper yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips, a complex emotion welling up inside her.
Lu Zheng helped her, so why did he bring up these things last night?
After the supervisor finished speaking to him, he asked Qiao Zhen to leave the office. Qiao Zhen returned to his workstation, still thinking about how Lu Zheng had helped him earlier.
Suddenly, a text message came through on my phone; it was from Gu Xijue.
"How are you feeling, Zhenzhen? Are you any better?"
Upon seeing Hu Guxi's message, Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered that he had said before that no matter what happened, he would help her solve it.
But in fact, Lu Zheng was the one who helped him behind the scenes.
Qiao Zhen admitted that he did think that way, and that he was indeed somewhat ungrateful.
But that's just how people are. If a bad person does something bad, no one will say anything, but if he does something good, everyone will praise him.
Not wanting to think about these things, Qiao Zhen shook her head and quickly typed on her phone.
"Thank you, Gu Xijue. I have to admit, you have helped me a lot in many ways."
"We're friends, it's only right."
Gu Xijue replied instantly.
Qiao Zhen looked through their previous chat history and found that Gu Xijue always replied instantly whenever Qiao Zhen spoke.
A strange feeling rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask jokingly.
"Mr. Gu, don't you usually have anything to deal with? Why do you always reply to me instantly when I speak?"
Gu Xijue quickly sent a message: "Haha, because you are someone I care about very much."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's finger, which was hovering over the phone screen, suddenly recoiled.
She was well aware of her current status, which was far from being on the same level as Gu Xijue.

After get off work, Qiao Zhen went to a nearby supermarket and bought some fruit to take to her mother.
At this time, Qiao Luosheng had already entered university, and he left without telling Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen was extremely worried at first, but Qiao Luosheng made a face and said with a smile, "Oh, sister, I left without telling you because I was afraid you would worry. With your personality, you would want to move your whole family over there."
With that in mind, she went to the supermarket, grabbed some fruit, and headed out.
"Miss Qiao, it's nice to see you again."
Suddenly, a sound interrupted Qiao Zhen's steps as he went out. He turned around and saw Shen Yan smiling and greeting him.
“Miss Shen.” Qiao Zhen’s voice was full of surprise. Seeing Shen Yan like this, he couldn’t help but sigh that Shen Yan was no longer the same as when she first got married.
"Why are you so surprised to see me?"
Shen Yan chuckled and teased Qiao Zhen, unable to resist saying a few more words.
Qiao Zhen instinctively took two steps back out of alertness, but smiled slightly and said, "No, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I was a little surprised to see you suddenly."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan smiled and said, "That's normal. You'll be seeing me quite often soon."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Zhen frowned, asking in confusion.
"Soon, I will escape this sea of suffering."
Shen Yan gave her a bright smile, then walked away in her high heels.
Watching Shen Yan's departing figure, Qiao Zhen seemed lost in thought.
Although he didn't understand the meaning behind Shen Yan's words, he felt that Shen Yan probably didn't have any bad intentions for the time being.
After all, he had already been tricked by Lu Zheng, and he didn't believe that Shen Yan would continue to do so.
Qiao Zhen took the fruit and went to her mother's house.
When Qiao's mother saw Qiao Zhen return, she was overjoyed and ran over to greet her.
"You silly child, why did you suddenly come without telling me!"
Qiao Zhen stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Isn't this to give you a surprise?"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's energetic appearance, Qiao's mother was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, your brother has gone to college, and your mom is all alone at home with nothing to do. It's good that you're here to keep me company."
Seeing her mother's reproachful expression, Qiao Zhen felt a warm current surge in her heart.
He hadn't spoken to Qiao's mother like a normal mother and daughter had for a very long time.
Since Qiao's father passed away, he has been living a very tiring life. Every day, he not only has to take care of Qiao Luosheng, but also pay attention to Qiao's mother's mood changes to prevent her from becoming too emotional.
Seeing Qiao's mother like this, Qiao Zhen was unsure whether or not to tell him about the Hope Primary School.
"By the way, Zhenzhen, what have you been busy with at the company lately? It feels like you haven't come to see me in ages."
When Qiao's mother looked closer, she noticed that Qiao Zhen had dark circles under her eyes, which was obviously due to lack of rest.
She knew perfectly well what her daughter was staying up all night for—nothing but work.
"Uh... I've been working on a project lately, and it's been keeping me quite busy and tired. I probably haven't been getting enough rest lately."
Qiao Zhen smiled slightly, but seeing Qiao Mou's distressed expression, she couldn't help but comfort her, "It's okay, Mom, it's just that I stayed up a little late, it's nothing serious."
Qiao's mother wouldn't listen to any of this and still looked at Qiao Zhen with heartache: "Look how thin you've gotten lately, and you still say you're fine."
"What project are you working on that keeps you up all night every day?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but say, "It's that... Hope Primary School."
