Zhao Xiaofei smiled knowingly and said, "Okay! Remember what I said!"
"Of course! You said, when no one's around, we're friends!" Qin Baobao said with a smile. She had been feeling quite nervous. Normally, you wouldn't believe a boss who said he treated you as a friend. But it seemed Zhao Xiaofei really did treat Qin Baobao as a friend.
"But my eldest brother is still the most capable. Without him, I wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself! Maybe the company would have gone bankrupt long ago!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Mr. Zhao is really amazing. He is busy until very late every day. He is also very serious about his work!" said Qin Baobao.
"That's true. My eldest brother used to be a doctor. If you're not serious, the patient will die soon!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Do you still go to northern Myanmar frequently recently?" Qin Baobao asked.
"Not necessarily! I won't go there for now! I'm going to Africa! This time I'm doing gold business, and the goods are all imported from there!" Zhao Xiaofei said nonsense.
"I saw that the local government in northern Myanmar listed you as a wanted criminal, but we don't recognize it here. You must never go there again!" Qin Baobao said.
"Where's the news? Let me see!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Qin Baobao took out his phone, pointed it at Zhao Xiaofei, and said, "Look! This is the news!"
Zhao Xiaofei saw the headline, "Patriot Becomes Wanted Criminal." He glanced at it for a moment and shook his head. He smiled helplessly. It seemed they took it seriously. They're still searching for treasure in the mountains! You warlords, take your time!
"Why are you laughing?" Qin Baobao said.
"It's nothing! Don't take this kind of thing too seriously. Just don't go there next time!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
At this time, Qin Baobao's cell phone rang. Zhao Xiaofei saw that the caller was from "sister", so he quickly returned the phone to Qin Baobao.
"Sister! Where are we going to eat tonight? It's your birthday, let's have something delicious!" Qin Xiaomi said on the other end of the phone.
"I'm at work! I'll call you when I get off work!" Qin Baobao.
"Don't be so stingy on your birthday! We agreed to eat roast duck together, okay?" Qin Xiaomi said coquettishly.
Zhao Xiaofei wanted to laugh when he heard that. Qin Baobao saw his expression and quickly said, "Okay, okay, hang up!" Then he showed an embarrassed expression.
"My sister is a foodie!" Qin Baobao said embarrassedly.
"Is it your birthday today? Happy birthday!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Thank you!" Qin Baobao said with a blushing face. She accidentally used her hand to gather the hair beside her ear, which gave people a charming and beautiful feeling at that moment.
Zhao Xiaofei took a look and quickly changed the subject, saying, "If we have nothing to do tonight, let's go eat together. Bring Xiaomi with you?"
"Isn't this inappropriate? If other colleagues in the unit see it, they will think I'm in love with you! Others will think I'm dating a rich man!" Qin Baobao said.
Zhao Xiaofei was speechless. This reminded him of Jiang Xiaomei. She was the type who just wanted to live an ordinary life. And Qin Baobao seemed to be the same. Being friends was just being ordinary friends.
"You're overthinking it! It's just a meal between friends! Send me your location in the evening and I'll pick you up, okay?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Well! Okay! But don't go to any expensive places!" Qin Baobao said.
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaofei was in a good mood.
In the evening, he went home with his eldest brother. His mother, Liu Aiping, had already returned from abroad. Zhao Xiaofei did not blame his mother when he saw her. He just said, "Mom, please discuss anything with me first. This makes it so that Xiaomei and I can't even be friends. It feels so awkward!"
"Mom, you're really doing this for your own good! Xiaomei is a good kid, but I can't accept her family! Marriage is not just a matter between two people, it's a matter between two families, do you understand?" Liu Aiping said.
"Mom! Let's just leave it at that! Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?" Zhao Xiaofei said helplessly. His mother had gone into hiding abroad for fear of being blamed by him, so what else could he do?
"Okay! Let's not talk about it! Mom will go cook for you two!" Liu Aiping said.
"No need! I'm going out to eat with my friends! You guys eat!" After saying that, Zhao Xiaofei put on his down jacket and was about to leave.
"Hey! Mom hasn't seen you for a long time. Let's have a meal together!" Liu Aiping said.
"Mom!" Zhao Xiaokun called out. Liu Aiping looked at her eldest son, and Zhao Xiaokun mouthed to his mother, "Date!"
"Then come back early!" Liu Aiping said to Zhao Xiaofei's back.
Seeing her youngest son walk away, Liu Aiping asked, "What's going on? You found another one so soon? Is she good-looking? Where is she from? How old is she? What does she do? How much does she make a month?"
Hearing his mother's soul-searching questioning, Zhao Xiaokun's face was full of black lines. He felt that he really shouldn't have said that and that he should go out for dinner.
Zhao Xiaofei arrived at the gate of Qin Baobao's residential complex and sent her a message. After a while, he saw two girls, one wearing a black down jacket and the other wearing a white down jacket.
"Hi! Brother Xiaofei, right?" Qin Xiaomi and Zhao Xiaofei took the initiative to greet him. Xiaomi was wearing a black shirt, and Qin Baobao was wearing a white shirt.
"Hey! Are you two pretending to be the Black and White Impermanence?" Zhao Xiaofei joked.
"Yes! We are planning to lure your soul to the underworld! Are you scared?" Qin Xiaomi said.
"Xiaomi! If you keep talking, I won't take you with me!" Qin Baobao said as he got in the car.
"Okay, okay! I'll shut up!" Qin Xiaomi said.
