Chapter 581 Didn’t we say we were friends?
Sister Li raised her eyes and a surprised smile appeared on her face for a moment. She looked back and found that Lu Yuanqiu was there too.
Bai Qingxia smiled at her. Lu Yuanqiu stood beside her and put his arm around Bai Qingxia's shoulders. The two of them just quietly observed Sister Li working without disturbing her.
Sister Li began to hold the phone with both hands and responded to the person on the phone in a soft voice, but her speaking speed was obviously faster.
The three of them haven't seen each other for two and a half months since their last separation. Looking at Sister Li's current appearance, Bai Qingxia felt very relieved.
Sister Li has light makeup on her face, and now she seems to be more haggard than before. Maybe it’s because her face is no longer covered with such thick powder, so this is her truest appearance.
After hanging up the phone, Sister Li stood up quickly, but subconsciously looked back in the direction of the office behind her and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"Come to see you." Bai Qingxia responded with a smile.
Lu Yuanqiu lay on Sister Li's workstation, looking at the layout on her desk. He saw two photo frames, one of which contained a photo of her daughter when she was a baby, which looked like a centenarian photo.
There is also a photo frame containing a photo of Sister Li and a little girl.
Lu Yuanqiu picked up the photo curiously and could see that the little girl was Bai Qingxia when she was a child, about ten years old.
She looked like she had just taken a shower, her hair was wet and scattered on her shoulders, and she wore a loose, wrinkled pink short-sleeved shirt like a dress. Sister Li squatted down to hug her, and Bai Qingxia stood. Sister Li held the camera in one hand and smiled happily, but the expression on Bai Qingxia's little face was tense, and she looked very unhappy, like a fierce kitten.
Looking at this photo, Lu Yuanqiu could think of the ten-year-old Bai Qingxia who didn't want to take a bath and was floundering around in the bathtub, while Sister Li lifted her sleeves and scrubbed her body diligently.
Eight years ago, Sister Li's daughter should have been only three or four years old. Lu Yuanqiu then realized that Sister Li, who worked away from home and could not see her daughter, might have raised the little girl who picked up garbage next door as her daughter.
Bai Qingxia also looked at the photo, and her expression was suddenly touched.
Sister Li murmured, "My colleague said to choose two photos and put them in the workplace. Looking at them will give me motivation to go to work. I chose these two. What my colleague said is really good. They are very nice people and their leaders are also very good."
Lu Yuanqiu carefully placed the photo frame on the table, and suddenly heard Bai Qingxia muttering beside him: "It's great..."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded silently.
Sister Li: "Would you like some coffee? I'll make you two a cup."
Lu Yuanqiu joked, "Let's have a drink?"
"Of course it's one cup per person, you little bastard." Sister Li scolded with a smile.
As she stood up, the door of the office behind her suddenly opened and a deep voice rang out: "Zhang Li!"
Sister Li turned around and quickly responded, "Yes, I'm here, manager, I'll get to work right away!"
The man who opened the door had a serious face but suddenly smiled: "The general manager called me specially to ask you to leave work early today."
People at other workstations turned their heads to look over, and Sister Li also widened her eyes slightly.
Lu Yuanqiu curled his lips and said, "It seems that the secretary told uncle about our visit."
Bai Qingxia nodded: "Uncle is a very good man."
"What a good man." Lu Yuanqiu echoed.
The three of them entered the elevator. Lu Yuanqiu thought for a moment and said, "Since the two seniors are here too, I'll treat everyone to dinner together."
After he finished speaking, he sent a message to Finkel.
Sister Li asked curiously, "Are you two college classmates?"
Bai Qingxia nodded, and Lu Yuanqiu briefly told Sister Li about the city art competition.
"It's great to be young..." Sister Li sighed after listening, then she put her arm around Bai Qingxia's shoulders and said, "Xia Xia, you must be brave while you are young and do things you dare not do."
Bai Qingxia looked at her quietly, smiled and did not respond, but raised her hand to straighten Sister Li's wig.
"Oh, is it crooked?"
"It's not very crooked, it's okay." Bai Qingxia's voice was gentle.
Lu Yuanqiu leaned against the inner wall of the elevator and murmured, "I dare not do anything...our Xia Xia is very powerful now, there is basically nothing I dare not do."
Bai Qingxia looked at the boy standing in the corner and suddenly found that Sister Li was staring at her. Bai Qingxia smiled awkwardly and avoided Sister Li's sight. Sister Li didn't say anything, but just tightened the hand that was around Bai Qingxia's shoulder.
The elevator door opened, and the moment they walked out, Sister Li hugged Bai Qingxia and whispered in her ear, "Come on."
Bai Qingxia nodded.
After meeting up with Liang Jingfeng and the others, the five of them walked out of the company and passed by a van. As they walked, they discussed what to eat. Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and glanced at the van. The person in the driver's seat looked at him. Lu Yuanqiu saw that the other person was a young man with a cross around his neck.
He saw the car when he arrived. It hadn't left yet, so Lu Yuanqiu looked at it curiously, thinking there was no one inside.
Inside the van, the young man in the driver's seat looked at Lu Yuanqiu and then fixed his gaze on Finkel. He immediately turned around and asked the others, "Is the man with pigtails the student from Zhucheng who broke into the boss's villa?"
"It seems...it's him!"
"Strange, why is Zhang Li walking with him? It doesn't make sense, how could they know each other?"
"Brother, why don't you stop squatting? Zhang Li must be under special protection. If anything happens to her, it will be traced back to us sooner or later."
"I really can't swallow the boss's current behavior. It's too aggrieved. His father has such a powerful background, but there is no room for reversal. Who is targeting the boss? There must be someone behind Zhang Li." The man in the driver's seat slammed the steering wheel hard, and then looked at Finkel's back.
He pondered for a long time and said, "Then we won't wait for Zhang Li. Let's see when that braided man will leave Lucheng... He actually dared to come to Lucheng. Doesn't he know that Binwen Media is located in Lucheng?"
…
When he returned home at night, Lu Yuanqiu received the demo sent by Fang Ran. According to Fang Ran, this was the final version.
“Ding ding ding~”
『Long Liandong』: Did you receive it?
Lu Yuanqiu was listening to music. He picked up the phone beside him and took a look at it, then responded: Received it, very good.
『Long Liandong』: Indeed, I listened to it too. You are quite talented. I can even imagine how Bai Qingxia felt after hearing it. She must have been very touched.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: Thank you.
『Long Liandong』: I guess you still need a rehearsal space?
『Lu Yuanqiu』: I’m planning to rent a practice room.
『Long Liandong』: Why don’t you come to my grandfather’s company? It has a practice room with the most complete equipment.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: That’s so embarrassing.
Seeing that Long Liandong did not respond, Lu Yuanqiu put down his phone and continued playing the song. After listening to it, he put down his headphones and found that Long Liandong had also replied.
『Long Liandong』: Didn’t we say we wanted to be friends?
