My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Lu Xiaoqiao and the other two went to the front desk to check in. Because the exhibition venue was not far away and it was the peak period of the exhibition, the guest rooms were not vacant yet. There would be a vacant room in the afternoon, so they had to leave their luggage at the front desk first, and the staff would help them put it in the room.

After checking in, they said a brief goodbye to Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan and went to the venue.

The business suite that Secretary Ding booked happened to have a cleaned empty room, so he went upstairs to put his boss's luggage away. Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan sat on the sofa in the lobby waiting for him.

Li Yuxuan glanced at his friend who was sitting next to him, looking down at his phone, and said, "Hey! I just chatted with Xiao Qiao all the way. You know what, brother, you have good taste! She's a good girl. Her personality complements yours perfectly. She's lively and cheerful, young, beautiful, and has fair skin."

Zhou Qizheng's gaze left the phone screen and looked up at Li Yuxuan, his expression a little displeased: "You looked carefully."

Li Yuxuan: "..."

"Damn it! Old Zhou, are you okay? You're so jealous. I'm indirectly helping you keep an eye on things. Why didn't I see you were so petty before?"

"And look at how scared you were to Secretary Ding just now. I thought you were going to replace the chief secretary."

Zhou Qizheng ignored Li Yuxuan's chatter...

Secretary Ding put the luggage down and came down. She glanced at Zhou Qizheng and saw that his expression was normal before she dared to step forward. "Mr. Zhou, the luggage is in your room. The driver has parked the car outside. Shall we leave now?"

Zhou Qizheng stood up and glanced at him: "What else?"

After saying that, he walked out with his long legs.

Li Yuxuan glanced at Secretary Ding, who was looking downcast, and patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, if you want to show off, next time just remember that besides work, everything else should be centered around Miss Lu. Look, you were helping Miss Lu with her luggage just now, and you didn't even bother with Mr. Zhou, and he didn't say anything, did you? "

Secretary Ding said in a muffled voice, "Well, thank you, Mr. Li."

When getting in the car, Secretary Ding still sat in the original co-pilot seat, while Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan moved to the front row where Lu Xiaoqiao had just sat.

Zhou Qizheng rested his laptop on his legs, his fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard: "Which departments in the Science and Technology Building have not yet relocated?"

Secretary Ding, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly turned around and replied, "Boss Shen said both the technical operations and administrative logistics departments should be relocated before October 1st."

"Let's go directly to the branch office. There's no need to go to the technology building."

After Zhou Qizheng finished speaking, he turned to Li Yuxuan who was sitting next to him and said, "Call Shen Yi and ask him to come directly to the branch office to find us. I have a video conference later."

"Well, what date do you have for Mayor Liu?"

"Tomorrow, time is a bit tight today."

After several people arrived at the branch, Zhou Qizhen went into the office to hold a video conference. Li Yuxuan is the general manager of the head office, so he naturally has to be busy here.

When Li Yuxuan finished his work, Shen Yi arrived.

The two sat on the sofa in the reception room.

"Where's Lao Zhou?"

Li Yuxuan opened the lunch his secretary bought for him: "I'm having a video conference."

Shen Yi was surprised, "It's not finished yet? Is this for lunch or dinner?"

Li Yuxuan took a few mouthfuls of rice. He hadn't eaten enough in the morning, and after a busy day, he was starving. "It's a cross-border trip, so it should be here soon. I haven't even had lunch yet, I'm starving."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Qizheng opening the door and walking in.

"Just got here?" Zhou Qizhen walked over and sat down next to the two of them.

"Just arrived a while ago. Looking for a place to have a drink tonight?"

Zhou Qizheng tilted his head back, leaning back on the sofa as if he was a little tired, his eyes closed, and he raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose: "No more drinking, I have more to drink tomorrow."

Shen Yi sighed and said, "You still know! We agreed that you don't need to come over. I can handle it alone. After all, we are relatives. If you come, with these two things added together, how can he let you have an easy time?"

"I haven't dared to go back to the old house these past few days. Whenever I go back, my mom keeps nagging me, asking me to persuade you to reconsider. In my opinion, you should just agree directly. It will be easier to get things done with a mayor as your father-in-law, and Liu Tian'er is pretty too."

Li Yuxuan, who was drinking water, choked and coughed a few times at Shen Yi's words: "If you don't want to be beaten, don't persuade me. Old Zhou has a sweetheart."

Shen Yi said indifferently, "Sweetheart? To whom? We knew it when he refused the marriage proposal, but I haven't seen him get close to any woman until now."

"I saw it! Lao Zhou came here today just for her. Her looks can beat Liu Tianer by a long way."

Before Li Yuxuan saw Lu Xiaoqiao, he had the same idea as Shen Yi. After seeing her, he had the same thought: Zhou Qizhen also supports the appearance association, and he might have just seen that the girl was pretty.

"Is this person really there? Do you have a photo? Let me see."

Zhou Qizheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, said, "You two should shut up and be quiet for a while. If you want to talk, go outside and talk."

"Look, look, you're being so wicked again. You got jealous when I said a few more words to her before, but now you can't even mention her?"

Li Yuxuan knew that Zhou Qizhen was embarrassed, so he deliberately provoked him. He simply loved Zhou Qizhen, who had always been serious and calm since childhood, no matter what happened, but now he became uneasy because of a woman.

Shen Yi became even more curious after listening to their conversation: "What kind of woman can make you jealous like this? I have a fiancée and you can't even look at me? Come on, Yuxuan, let's go out and talk."

After saying that, he really stood up and was about to walk out.

Zhou Qizheng opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, and tilted his head to look at Li Yuxuan: "I think it's a good idea to send you to that project in the Middle East."

Li Yuxuan is afraid of heat. Although he grew up in the south, if he goes to a place hotter than the city where he lives, it is undoubtedly because people don't want him to have an easy time.

"You are seeking revenge for your personal gain."

Finally, under Zhou Qizhen's threat, Li Yuxuan temporarily did not reveal anything about Lu Xiaoqiao to Shen Yi.

In the evening, the three of them did not drink but had dinner together. Li Yuxuan had not digested his previous meal yet, so he just watched Zhou Qizhen and Shen Yi eat.

Secretary Ding was left in the company to work overtime. Poor Secretary Ding never thought that he would have to work overtime even when he was on a business trip to the branch. Fortunately, there was someone to accompany him. President Zhou left the driver to him.

After dinner, Shen Yi drove the two back to the hotel. Before leaving, he mocked Zhou Qizhen for condescending to stay in such a place just to pursue someone.

After Zhou Qizhen arrived at the hotel room, he took out his cell phone and called Lin Lin.

"Are you back? Have you had dinner?"

"I just finished eating and am on my way back. Uncle, have you returned to the hotel?" Lin Lin was stunned when she received a call from Zhou Qizhen. She didn't expect that her uncle, who was so busy, would still take the time to call her and ask if she had eaten dinner.

"I just got back too. You guys should go to bed early and don't wander around at night."

Hearing her uncle's instructions, Lin Lin replied obediently: "Oh, I see, uncle, don't worry, we will be there soon. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

Zhou Qizheng couldn't find anything to say, so he just whispered, "Well, hang up."

After they hung up the phone, Zhou Qizhen threw his phone on the bed, turned around and looked at his suitcase, and found that he didn't bring any cigarettes. He didn't smoke frequently, but now he was feeling irritable and just wanted to calm himself down by smoking a cigarette.
