My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Zhou Qizhen gave Lu Xiaoqiao a few more careful instructions before turning around and leaving under the gazes of his colleagues in the office.

After Zhou Qizhen left, Zhao Jia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your family really knows how to have fun."

Lin Lin covered her mouth and whispered, "I learned all this from my aunt."

Lu Xiaoqiao pretended to hit her, and Lin Lin smiled and hid behind Zhao Jia: "Sister Jia, look how fierce Xiaoqiao is now. It's all because someone spoiled her."

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "You know I still say it, you see I don't even dare to say it."

Lu Xiaoqiao pretended to be angry: "If you two keep doing this, I'll be angry!"

When Zhao Jia heard this, she begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I was wrong. You are the boss now, we dare not mess with you."

Zhao Jia had just learned that Lu Xiaoqiao was pregnant. After getting over the shock, she thought to herself that President Zhou was truly amazing.

They stopped joking and got down to business: "Sister Jia, if you don't be my bridesmaid, then I only have two bridesmaids!"

Zhao Jia shrugged. "Don't embarrass me, your sister. I've never worn a skirt in my life, let alone a tube top. What a joke! You might as well ask Zhao Zhizhi instead of me. Let him wear a skirt so I can be Mr. Zhou's best man."

Lu Xiaoqiao suppressed a smile and said, "I think it's feasible. By the way, Sister Jia, when you go home today, please tell Momo if she's free on Saturday! Is she still working part-time? If not, then let Zhou Qizheng take you to my house and we can have dinner together!"

Zhao Jia nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to your house on Saturday to talk. It wouldn't be nice for me to come over and chat for too long during working hours."

"Then Sister Jia, you should go back first! Don't wait to be scolded."

"Well, let's study it on Saturday."

After Zhao Jia left, Lu Xiaoqiao sat at his original workstation and helped Lin Lin organize the atlas.

"Xiao Qiao, Momo really doesn't agree to be a bridesmaid?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded, feeling a little worried. "Yeah! I asked her about it this morning on WeChat, and she said she was unlucky and unsuitable to be a bridesmaid, and she was worried it would be bad for me."

"Momo is so pitiful. How could she say that about herself?"

Lu Xiaoqiao sighed: "Who said it wasn't? I'll try to persuade her when she goes home on Saturday."

Lin Lin strung the organized atlases together with a string and tied a knot. "So what should the chef cook for everyone on Saturday? We need to prepare it in advance."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat barbecue, but I'm afraid someone won't agree."

Lin Lin was puzzled: "Why? Are you still afraid of him?"

"He said it was unhealthy."

"Oh, okay!"

Seeing that Lin Lin had also compromised, Lu Xiaoqiao said somewhat unwillingly: "Actually, it's okay to have a meal once in a while, right?"

Lin Lin didn't dare to respond: "Ah? If it's anything, you have to ask your boss Zhou. I dare not say."

It would have been fine if I hadn't mentioned the urge to eat barbecue before, but now that I've mentioned it, my desire has reached its peak and I can't wait to eat it right now.

She was thinking about how to convince Zhou Qizhen to take her to eat barbecue later when she heard someone calling her.

"Xiao Qiao? Are you coming to the company?"

Lu Xiaoqiao looked up and saw Zhang Minzhi standing next to her workstation holding a folder.

She stood up quickly: "Aunt, you usually go home at this time. I thought you were not in the company."

Zhang Minzhi raised the folder in her hand and said, "I didn't go back because I had some unfinished business. Why are you here alone? I saw Mr. Zhou just now. Did he go back?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded: "Well, he has a meeting to attend. I'll stay here for a while and wait for him to come and pick me up after get off work."

Zhang Minzhi thought for a moment and said to her, "Is that so? Then it's just right for you to come with me. I have something to tell you."

Lu Xiaoqiao pulled out a stool and said, "Okay."

Lin Lin grabbed Lu Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Hey! Don't go! If you leave, how am I going to explain this to Mr. Zhou?"

Lu Xiaoqiao said with some amusement: "Listen to him, then you have to install a tracker on me. It's okay. I'll call you if there's anything."

Lin Lin was still a little worried and said, "Then you better be careful! If anything happens to you, I won't be able to survive either."

Lu Xiaoqiao waved at her: "Don't worry!"

Lu Xiaoqiao followed Zhang Minzhi to the small conference room. After closing the door, Lu Xiaoqiao sat in front of her.

"Aunt, what do you want from me?"

Zhang Minzhi glanced at her with a smile, then lowered her gaze to her belly: "How many months has it been? Are there any pregnancy symptoms?"

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "More than two months, it's been okay! Sometimes I want to eat everything, and sometimes I can't eat a single bite. However, I can still eat a lot."

Zhang Minzhi's smile deepened: "It's the same as when your mother was pregnant with your brother."

Lu Xiaoqiao understood the deep meaning of her aunt's words. Many people who married into a family like Zhou Qizhen would be bound by the word "heir".

However, she also asked Zhou Qizhen this question. He said that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all his children, and from the moment a boy was born, he would definitely be trained as an heir.

Just like him, there is endless things to learn and it is very tiring.

As for a girl, let her be a carefree little princess, and the company can hire a professional manager to take care of her in the future.

Thinking about it this way, it would be better to have a girl.

Looking at her expression, Zhang Minzhi seemed to not care at all about whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

It seemed that the Zhou family had not put any pressure on her in this regard, so she felt relieved.

"I called you over to tell you about the profits from Jiang Heng's group purchase. They paid the balance a few days ago, and I've also made an account. I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoqiao stopped her quickly after hearing this: "Aunt, you really don't have to give it to me. Zhou Qizheng said that Jiang Heng would have ordered this group buy even without me, saying that they were going to hold some kind of sports meet, so you don't have to think too much about it. If you insist on giving it to me, it will only make me feel worse!"

Zhang Minzhi smiled and changed the subject: "I heard from your grandma that when you got married, the Zhou family asked relatives from your hometown to come a week in advance?"

Speaking of home, Lu Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Well, my father-in-law said that the weather at the end of the month will be neither too hot nor too cold, and everyone usually doesn't have time, so this is a good opportunity to take everyone on a good tour of Hangzhou."

"How many people will come?"

"My mom said there were more than 20 people! Because the time is too long, some families can't leave for that long, especially those with children in school."

Zhang Minzhi nodded: "Indeed, has your mother asked your second aunt? Is she coming?"

When Zhang Minhua was mentioned, Lu Xiaoqiao said calmly, "Yes, my mother said my second aunt and second uncle are here, so it's a good opportunity to come and see my daughter."

See your daughter?

Zhang Minzhi sighed inwardly, thinking that it would be better not to come, as she would be exposed to a lot of stress if she came.

Li Na told her a few days ago that she had bought a wedding house. The down payment was not that much, so she only bought an old community in the fringe of the city. Fortunately, it was a school district house, so she didn't have to worry about her children's schooling in the future.
