Chapter 166 PUA
When Shen Tinglan, Lin Zhizhou and a little tail Shen Jianan arrived at the villa.
Lin Zhiqiu, Secretary Chen and other members of the inspection team have started the barbecue party.
Secretary Chen, chewing on a skewer of chicken wings, ran over excitedly: "Sister-in-law, when will Lulu come?"
Shen Tinglan opened her bag and looked at her phone: "Is Zhou Lu not here yet? I sent her the address last night. Wait a minute, I'll call her."
She made a phone call and Lin Zhizhou took the bag from her hand.
Shen Jianan was too impatient to stay still, so when his sister called, he ran to the barbecue grill in the garden.
The phone kept ringing but no one answered it.
Shen Tinglan shook his head and spread his hands towards Secretary Chen: "No."
Secretary Chen's eyes dimmed instantly, and the chicken wings in his mouth became tasteless.
His expression was filled with disappointment, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Forget it, she probably won't come. I'll go find her myself another day."
Shen Tinglan was just about to say a few words of comfort, Zhou Lu promised to come last night, maybe she was delayed, isn't it evening yet?
Next second.
Zhou Lu's voice sounded behind them.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Lulu..." Secretary Chen said excitedly, and stepped forward to take the bag from her hand: "Come on, whatever you want to buy, won't you be tired carrying so much? Come on, take a rest, I'll grill your favorite chicken wings for you." His voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Shen Tinglan and Lin Zhizhou became light bulbs.
Zhou Lu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know what to buy, so I just bought some snacks." She said to Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan: "Zhou Lu, thank you, you are so polite. Secretary Chen will take you around first. I will put down my things and we will play mahjong later."
Zhou Lu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Secretary Chen reached out to hold Zhou Lu's hand, but she avoided him.
Shen Tinglan stood behind and watched with melancholy. She had just seen a flash of light in Zhou Lu's eyes when she saw Secretary Chen, but she quickly concealed it.
Shen Tinglan guessed that Zhou Lu liked Secretary Chen, otherwise she would not have agreed to come here.
The task is arduous.
"What are you daydreaming about? I'm going to put my bag away. You go ahead."
Shen Tinglan snatched it away and said: "I'll go and release it. You are their leader. Is it reasonable for you not to show up?"
After she finished speaking, she ran upstairs with her bag. Lin Zhizhou stared at her back thoughtfully, with only one question in his mind: what was in the bag?
She is so precious.
Wait until she hides her things and comes downstairs.
There were two more bottles of beer in his hand, and Lin Zhizhou thought they were for him. When the two were about to get close, the big leader naturally reached out to take them, but Shen Tinglan walked straight forward, passed him, and stood in front of Zhou Lu.
At this moment, she only had the mission in her mind, and she couldn't let Secretary Chen down by calling her sister-in-law every day.
We have to let the two of them make some breakthroughs.
She handed the beer to Zhou Lu: "Do you have time to chat?"
Zhou Lu looked behind her in embarrassment, "Team Leader Lin, you don't seem very happy."
"Ah?" Shen Tinglan turned around and saw the big boss retracting his paused hand, his face gloomy and cold.
The people around laughed silently.
Shen Tinglan was embarrassed. Was Lin Zhizhou's woman jealous?
He quickly stepped forward to coax the man: "Here, here you go. I opened it myself and took a sip. Is that okay? Don't be angry."
Lin Zhizhou took the beer from her hand, raised his head and took a sip, then handed it back to her, pulling his lips together and smiling faintly: "I'm not angry."
"Eh..." Lin Zhiqiu took the lead in making noises of disgust and jeers.
Shen Tinglan patted his back and whispered: "Little troublemaker."
The big boss's eyes darkened slightly. Why did he start doing this?
Maybe the illness started when I met her.
Shen Tinglan even winked at the person next to him and said, "Don't laugh. If you laugh again, the boss will be angry."
Everyone fell silent instantly and looked at Team Leader Lin.
The senior leader who was being watched calmly said: "Everyone have fun."
After saying that, Long Legs walked over to the grill and started grilling himself.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other and gave Comrade Xiao Shen a thumbs up.
Xiao Shen is good at controlling her husband.
Shen Tinglan took Zhou Lu to the leisure table and chairs in the corner of the garden, where a parasol was set up and the sun was not shining.
"Come and sit down. Although we work together in the city government, we have never talked alone. I used to be very jealous of you and always argued with me." Shen Tinglan spoke softly, and when he talked about the past, he brought the two closer and made it easier for people to let down their guard.
Zhou Lu didn't understand and was jealous of her. What was there for her to be jealous of? Instead, she envied Shen Tinglan. She was surprised to see her getting along with Team Leader Lin just now.
He really couldn't imagine that Lin Zhizhou, who was once a prominent figure in Kyoto, was notoriously strict and indifferent, and his emotions could not be easily aroused by anyone or anything.
It was hard to imagine that the man was jealous because he didn't give him the beer right away. This was beyond Zhou Lu's comprehension.
You know, when in Kyoto, Chen Jing once organized a game, and that guy rarely showed up. He didn't even drink the wine poured by the waitress. It was said in the circle that no one could beat him.
As a result, he was conquered by the hot Sichuan girl in front of him.
To say I wasn't surprised would be a lie.
The more Zhou Lu thought about it, the more she wandered away, and she quickly withdrew her thoughts.
He replied: "Why are you jealous of me? There is nothing about me that you can be jealous of."
She said this modestly, but Shen Tinglan could still hear a hint of self-abandonment in her words.
Continuing to probe: "How could that be? Don't you know how great your figure is? I envy you to death. Also, I think you have a very elegant temperament, the kind of person who is well-read and elegant."
"No wonder, they say some people are beautiful but don't realize it. I think they're talking about you."
Zhou Lu blushed at her straightforward words and reached out to tidy up the hair around her ears uncomfortably.
A little embarrassed: "You are exaggerating. It's not as good as you say."
No one doesn't like praise.
Shen Tinglan added: "I'm telling the truth, don't be embarrassed. The unit ranked you before, and you're well-known, ranked in the top five."
"A lot of guys at work want to pursue you, but they think you're too pretty and capable. Didn't you even reject the son of the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau before? So no one dared to pursue you anymore."
Zhou Lu was stunned by what she heard. No one had ever told her this before.
Few people praised her.
I go back to that annoying family once a year, with my incompetent and bad-tempered biological father, my sarcastic stepmother, and my half-brother who has accomplished nothing.
All the words he said were derogatory towards her.
He said that since she was still not married at such an old age, she could only find a second husband.
They said she had a bad personality and her future in-laws would not like her.
She was said to be clumsy and her boss would not like her when she went out to work.
Things have been a little better in recent years because she can earn money and send back living expenses on time every month.
So she spoke less at work, learned more and watched more. Many people showed their kindness to her. One reason was that she had Chen Jing in her heart and it was impossible for her to accept anyone else. The other reason was that she was inferior in her heart and thought she was not worthy of others.
Not to mention trying to climb up to Chen Jing's level.
Secretary Chen, who was eavesdropping on the side, felt sad. Lulu had so many men pursuing her, but she didn't accept any of them. She still had me in her heart.
Zhou Lu's eyes were slightly red as she murmured, "I never thought I was that good. Ever since I was little, I've always been belittled and abused by people around me. I..."
Zhou Lu's throat seemed to be strangled, and she couldn't spit out or swallow the words.
Extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Tinglan's face paused: "How could it be? You are so outstanding, who would say that to you? We joined the company in the same year, and you are the second in command of the General Office, while I am still just a soy sauce worker in the Administration Department."
Two seconds into the conversation, Shen Tinglan raised his head and took a sip of beer, then looked at the unconfident Zhou Lu with a glint in his eyes.
The reaction was quick: "Oh... I see, you are being PUA."
