Chapter 30 Cooperation
Zhu Wendong returned to Biesong from the pet hospital in the evening. After taking a bath, he was about to blow-dry his hair when he remembered that the hair dryer at home had been borrowed by Qi Yanxue.
She wrapped her wet hair in a dry bonnet and knocked on the closed door opposite.
After a while, Qi Yanxue opened the door. He was wearing a white shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his sexy and protruding collarbone, which gave him a unique abstinence vibe.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Wendong's gaze was too intense, Qi Yanxue's posture was lazy, her expression relaxed, and she said leisurely without dodging or avoiding, "What are you doing? You want to sleep with your ex-boyfriend again?"
Zhu Wendong: “…”
Qi Yanxue's dark eyes were filled with indifference, and he added, "Put away your thoughts. I'm not that kind of person."
“…”That’s enough.
Zhu Wendong was powerless to explain: "My hair dryer is at your house."
Qi Yanxue was very thick-skinned and did not show any embarrassment after her narcissism was exposed. She went back leisurely and got a hair dryer for her.
After Zhu Wendong took it, he turned around and went home without hesitation.
After blowing her hair, she sat in the study again, lighting the lamp to polish the outline of her new article. When she was thinking about the plot, she was shivered by a gust of cold wind outside the window.
She walked to the window and closed it, but there was still cold air in the room. She wanted to turn on the air conditioner, but then she remembered that the remote control was at Qi Yanxue's house.
Zhu Wendong glanced at his fairly decent pajamas and knocked on Qi Yanxue's door again.
Qi Yanxue opened the door, still wearing the same white shirt, with white headphones on both sides, and a solemn expression on his face that had not yet dissipated.
Zhu Wendong asked curiously, "Are you still working so late?"
Qi Yanxue slowly pressed the headphones and said in a low voice: "You knocked on the door just to ask this?"
Zhu Wendong denied it and said bluntly: "No, I came to get the air conditioner remote control."
Qi Yanxue was silent for a long time, as if wondering when he had taken the remote control for her air conditioner. After a while, she took the next step.
He took the air conditioner remote control from the bedroom and gave it to her.
Zhu Wendong took it and couldn't help but remind him: "I still have some things at your house. If you don't need them, give them to me now."
Qi Yanxue said with a clear conscience: "I can't find it right now. If you need it, come back to me."
Zhu Wendong: “?”
Whose stuff is this?
An urging voice came from the headset. Qi Yanxue took off the headset and said in a cold tone, "Anything else?"
Zhu Wendong shook his head slowly and went home with the air conditioner remote control.
Qi Yanxue sat back in front of the computer in his study room. The person on the other end of the video call complained when he saw him.
"Qi Yanxue, what could possibly make you, a workaholic, leave a meeting twice and keep me waiting?"
The people in the other small windows lowered their heads, avoiding the camera, and looked as if they were afraid to speak.
Lu Guanqi dared to complain so bluntly because he was the young master of the Lu family. The working people like him didn't have the courage to do that.
"There's a wild cat outside that keeps scratching at the door." Qi Yanxue leaned back in his chair and raised his chin. "Let's continue the meeting."
Lu Guanqi scratched his head. Why did this sound weird?

Zhu Wendong was woken up by a ringing phone today.
She reached out to touch her phone in a daze, rubbed her eyes and looked at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number, so she picked up the phone.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Si'an. Aunt Wen left her ring at the Hesheng Hotel last time, and the manager gave it to me. Do you have time to come out today?"
Zhu Wendong was still a little confused and was stunned for a moment before he said, "Yes."
"Is this your WeChat number? I'll send you the time and address."
"Yes."
"Okay, then I'll add you."
After a simple conversation, Zhu Wendong opened WeChat and accepted his friend request, and he soon sent the time and address.
Zhu Wendong reluctantly agreed to deal with Wen Lu as his blind date. As for the Zhou family and Zhu Shouwen's little thoughts, they were all irrelevant.
In short, messing up this matter is the most important thing, so it is difficult for her to refuse, and she has to start with Zhou Si'an.
The place Zhou Sian chose was a quiet cafe with a fresh interior design that made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
When Zhu Wendong arrived, she saw Zhou Si'an sitting by the window. She put down her handbag, sat opposite him, and handed him a gift box.
"A greeting gift."
She was wearing a khaki jacket and a blue scarf today. She had a small and delicate face, clear features, and an icy complexion. Her loose hair was black and straight, making her skin look cold and pale.
She has a natural figure and can wear simple clothes in her own unique way.
Zhou Si'an smiled and said, "Didn't I say there's no need to make up for it? It's just a meeting gift. No need to be so polite."
These were just polite words, so Zhu Wendong naturally didn't take them seriously. He said politely, "It's okay. It's just a greeting. No need to be so polite."
Zhou Sian was amused by her words. His gentle and non-aggressive face gave people a sense of closeness when he smiled.
He remembered the important matter and handed her the ring wrapped in a gift box, "Auntie Wen's ring."
"Okay, thank you." Zhu Wendong took it and put it in his bag.
Zhou Si'an asked her considerately, "The drinks in this shop are pretty good, would you like to try them?"
It just so happened that she had something to say and was in no hurry to leave, so Zhu Wendong ordered a mocha.
The afternoon sun shone on her body with a little warmth, and her deep brown pupils looked like crystal in the dark, bright and beautiful.
Zhou Si'an took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard from Aunt Wen that you have been studying in California for the past five years?"
Zhu Wendong took a sip of coffee and said, "Yeah, that's right."
Zhou Si'an stared at her face and said calmly, "The Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles is very beautiful. I was lucky enough to see it once when I was on a business trip."
Zhu Wendong turned his head to look at the sunlight outside the window. It was a little dazzling, and he replied calmly, "It is indeed beautiful."
It was so beautiful that she would often go there to see it whenever she had time.
The light in Zhou Sian's eyes gradually dimmed, and she really had no impression of it at all.
Zhu Wendong had no idea what he was thinking, so he turned around and asked him sternly, "Are you going on this blind date voluntarily?"
Zhou Si'an raised his eyes to look at her again, and instead of answering, he asked, "You're not?"
Zhu Wendong replied in the negative, then said slowly, "The Zhu family's affairs are more complicated than you think. I need you to help me break up this blind date."
Zhou Si'an was silent for a moment before he said, "Why are you unwilling to accept it? Is it because of me?"
Unexpectedly, he would involve himself in the problem. Zhu Wendong said frankly: "It's my problem. I don't have any thoughts of getting married for the time being. I'm sorry."
Zhou Si'an breathed a sigh of relief. "Even if I help you reject this blind date, your family will definitely help you find the next one."
Zhu Wendong could not deny that this would indeed happen given Wen Lu's eagerness to get her started a family.
Zhou Si'an paused for three seconds and continued, "Why don't we work together to deal with the elders at home? Wouldn't that make things easier?"
Zhu Wendong had never thought of this condition. In her opinion, Zhou Si'an was not the kind of person who would waste time on this. He should choose something that saves time and effort.
"You will?"
