Chapter 2370: Slip of the tongue
After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to continue preparing dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner. It was not until after four o’clock in the afternoon that she finished preparing the dishes that needed to be prepared in the afternoon.
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the prepared dishes into the space, she took off the apron she was wearing and lay directly on the sofa. She was really exhausted today.
She can't cook like this for a whole day tomorrow, otherwise she is afraid that she will be exhausted by New Year's Eve.
Fortunately, the main dishes and complex dishes have all been prepared. The remaining dishes are easy to make and do not take much time. She will only need to cook for half a day tomorrow and the dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner will be almost ready.
Lu Xiaoxiao lay on the sofa for half an hour, and she was about to get up and go upstairs to take a shower, but as soon as she got up, she heard the phone ringing, so she had to answer it first.
"Hello." Lu Xiaoxiao picked up the microphone and spoke.
"Master Xiao, I'm Chen Guang."
"I know."
"How do you know that?"
"I guess. What do you want from me? Tell me quickly."
"I called you to tell you that the boss sent more than ten people to protect me. I am safe now, so you can rest assured."
"Who did you say sent someone to protect you?"
"Boss, is there a problem?"
"no problem."
"oh."
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now. I wish you a happy new year in advance."
"I wish you the same..." Chen Guang was halfway through his words when he heard a beeping sound coming from the microphone, so he swallowed the "Happy New Year" he was about to say.
After Lu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, she immediately called Monkey. She wanted to see what Monkey was up to. Zhang Xu had clearly come back, but he told her that he had not.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" When Monkey heard the phone ringing, he picked up the receiver.
"I'm looking for Zhang Xu."
"The boss isn't here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes...sure, didn't I say before that the boss won't be back until after the New Year?"
"Yeah?"
"yes."
"Can you contact Zhang Xu?"
"Sometimes."
"Then please tell Zhang Xu this: I hate it most when people lie to me, and this isn't the first time."
Monkey's face changed immediately when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Just when he wanted to help Zhang Xu explain, he heard a beeping sound from the microphone, so he immediately hung up the phone and ran out of the office.
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Monkey, what's wrong with you? Don't you look at the road when you walk?" The gray cat said to the monkey while rubbing his shoulder which was hurt by the monkey.
After hearing what the gray cat said, the monkey ignored what the gray cat said and asked the gray cat, "Where is the boss?"
"I have no idea."
"Come with me to find the boss quickly, or something bad will happen if it's too late."
"What happened? Tell me quickly."
"I don't know how Lu Xiaoxiao found out that the boss is back, so she called me just now and asked me to help her pass a message to the boss."
After hearing what the monkey said, the gray cat's face turned as ugly as the monkey's. He thought about it and probably knew how Lu Xiaoxiao knew about Zhang Xu's return.
But now is not the time to settle accounts. The most important thing now is to find Zhang Xu. Otherwise, if it is too late, something big will really happen as Monkey said.
"I'll go to the training ground to look for someone, and you go to the dormitory to look for someone. If neither of us find someone, we'll meet at the cafeteria entrance.
If one of us finds the boss, we can take him directly to the office." The gray cat said to the monkey.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
