My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

When Lu Xiaoqiao was walking from the lakeside into the teahouse, she happened to meet Tang Qian who was walking towards her.

"Mr. Tang, what a coincidence! You're here for tea too."

Tang Qian forced a smile with the corners of his mouth curled up. His mood was completely different from when he first met Lu Xiaoqiao.

Because he knew that he had absolutely no chance!

He was just released today. A few days ago, someone petty-mindedly reported him again, causing him to be put in solitary confinement again. This time, his cell phone was confiscated, completely cutting him off from the outside world.

Before being put in solitary confinement, Liu Dongyi came to Hangzhou in person. Tang Qian himself had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen his biological father.

It seems that it was all thanks to that "stingy" gentleman that his father, who had not been seen for a long time, came to "educate" him in person.

After meeting him again after a long separation, Tang Qian felt mixed emotions as he looked at his gray hair and the once familiar face that looked a bit more vicissitudes of life.

Liu Dongyi chatted with Tang Ci for a long time that day. Before he left, he told Tang Qian, "From now on, stay away from that girl. She's not just Zhou Qizheng's woman now, she's also Mrs. Zhou. If you mess with her, you're messing with the entire Zhou family. You'd better think carefully about the consequences."

Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this. Mrs. Zhou! Zhou Qizheng had actually made her Mrs. Zhou. She didn't even know her feelings yet, and he already had no chance!

Tang Qian thought a lot during the days he was imprisoned. He hated others and himself. He felt that he was not good enough, which was why everyone avoided him!

That's right, for someone like him, it's better for him to stay away from her, or just watch from afar! After thinking this through, Tang Qian said, "Well, I came here with a friend, how about you?"

"I came here with my elders."

Tang Qian said "Oh".

Lu Xiaoqiao thought of the previous group purchase: "By the way, Mr. Tang, your company's customized order is ready. The person you recommended to take over was quite easy to talk to and didn't make any changes. I really want to thank you very much for this!"

Tang Qian's face looked a little unnatural. That was not his recommendation. It was clearly a message that Tang Ci replied to using his phone.

Oh! Never mind! As long as she is happy, that's all.

"What are you thanking me for? If you need any help in the future, just give me a call."

This chance is probably very slim. After all, her husband is much more capable than her, both in terms of money and real ability.

Fortunately, he lost to Zhou Qizhen, otherwise, he really didn't know how to convince himself not to accept it.

Lu Xiaoqiao chatted with Tang Qian for a few words and then went back to find Ouyang Yueyue, and they returned to the private room together.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Yichen and Liu Yufei came in from outside. Liu Yufei's complexion seemed to have returned to normal, and Wang Yuxue was relieved.

After drinking tea, Wang Yumei said she wanted to go shopping in Hangzhou’s shopping malls. Several people accompanied her for more than two hours. Lu Xiaoqiao felt like his legs were about to break.

When it was almost time for dinner, Zhao Yaqin called. Knowing that they were all together, she asked Lu Xiaoqiao and Ouyang Yueyue to come to the old house for dinner in the evening.

After get off work, Lin Lin rushed back to the old house directly from the company.

Maybe it was because he walked for too long during the day, Lu Xiaoqiao felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and he didn't eat much for dinner.

Zhao Yaqin noticed that she looked a little listless and asked worriedly, "Xiao Qiao, why did you eat so little today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, Wang Yumei scolded her, "Second sister, you are so mean. Xiaoqiao has been with us all day and was so lively this afternoon. If you ask her like this now, someone who doesn't know would think we are bullying her."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lu Xiaoqiao felt that she was being a little hypocritical. She suppressed her discomfort and cheered herself up: "Aunt, I'm fine. I just ate a few snacks during afternoon tea, so I don't feel hungry now."

Zhao Yaqin felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good, then I'll eat when I'm hungry."

Father Zhou took over the conversation, "When you go back, take some of your favorite foods with you. Your uncle Sun sent some osmanthus-flavored lychees today. I remember you like them, so I'll bring them all over for you later."

Lu Xiaoqiao looked up at Zhou's father, feeling both sweet and sour in her heart. Fortunately, Zhou Qizhen's father had never disliked her.

As for those who don't like her, there is no need for her to care too much, Lu Xiaoqiao comforted herself in her heart.

"Well, thank you Dad."

……

Go to work the next day.

At noon, Lu Xiaoqiao and a few others were walking back from the cafeteria after lunch.

Lin Lin glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao with some worry: "Xiaoqiao, were you really bullied by them yesterday?"

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. "I'm not being bullied, but I feel a little uncomfortable. I haven't been shopping for a long time. I walked for a long time yesterday and I'm tired."

"Okay, if you really feel uncomfortable, go back and rest!"

Lu Xiaoqiao said weakly, "No need, I can hold on." He had already asked for half a day off yesterday. If he asked for leave again today, people would probably gossip about him.

Lin Lin warned her, "I have to go out this afternoon. I didn't finish what I did yesterday. If you can't stand it any longer, go find Sister Jia. Don't hold it in, okay? Otherwise, I'll call my uncle!"

"Yeah, I got it! If I really can't stand it anymore, I will definitely tell you, don't worry!"

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoqiao came out of the bathroom and walked towards his workstation.

However, the few people who had just gathered in front of her workstation to chat stopped talking the moment they caught sight of her.

Some of them looked at her with complicated and sympathetic eyes, while others looked at her with gloating eyes.

Li Na is one of them, and she does not hide the disdain and mockery in her eyes.

Although Lu Xiaoqiao was confused, she was in no mood to pay attention to her.

Until the next morning.

The flood of gossip spread throughout the office as if it had wings.

"Have you heard? Our company's Lu Xiaoqiao is probably going to be dumped by Jiang Heng's CEO!"

"Huh? Why? Didn't you say you'd go to the girl's house during the New Year?"

"I heard that it seems to be Jiang Heng's girlfriend who has come. This time, she was directly arranged by President Zhou to work in the company. The whole city of Hangzhou knows that he hates people who are parachuted in. This time, because of that woman, he broke the rules."

"No way! Then what about Lu Xiaoqiao from our company?"

"Who knows? Anyway, this story is spreading like wildfire. They say the woman's family also owns a company, and the two families had discussed a marriage before, but the woman was young at the time, and her family was reluctant to let her go."

Lu Xiaoqiao stood at the door of the tea room of the so-called company's "intelligence station", listening to the rumors spread by colleagues inside.

No wonder Zhao Na looked at me like that yesterday. I guess she must have been so happy in her heart, as she had finally been waiting for the day when she would be "down and out".

Although Lu Xiaoqiao did not take these rumors seriously, she could not let them continue to ferment.

While I was free, I went to the stairs and called Zhou Qizhen.

Secretary Ding answered the phone: "Madam, Mr. Zhou is busy right now. If it's urgent, I'll ask him to take the call now."

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly advised Secretary Ding: "There's no rush. By the way, are you coming back tomorrow?"

"I guess I won't be able to go back tomorrow. Something unexpected happened here, and it's a bit tricky. Mr. Zhou called Mr. Li and Mr. Lin over to help deal with it. Even if it's quick, it will still take four or five days."
