My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Finally, after Lin Lin's repeated requests, Zhao Yaqin agreed to let her go to work two days earlier, but required her to wear flat shoes.

On Lin Lin's first day back at work, she brought home two bags of hazelnuts given by Lu Xiaoqiao, saying that they were specialties from her hometown that she asked her roommate to bring back when she went home on National Day.

After dinner, Lin Lin and her grandparents sat in the living room to discuss how to eat it.

Lin Lin took out a pair of small golden tongs. "Xiao Qiao said that using these tongs will open them easily. She said that these hazelnuts are wild, so they are so small, but they taste more fragrant and have higher nutritional value."

Zhao Yaqin said, "Xiao Qiao is so thoughtful. She even brought us some local specialties."

He glanced at Zhou's father and said, "Eat less. How much have you eaten now? I asked you to eat it all, and I left a bag for Qi Zheng. Don't eat anymore. Didn't you just finish your meal?" After saying that, he snatched the hazelnuts that Zhou's father had just picked up.

Father Zhou: "..."

Lin Lin looked at her grandparents and laughed so hard: "Let my grandpa have some. Xiao Qiao said he left a bag for my uncle too."

Zhao Yaqin perked up immediately after hearing this: "What else did Xiao Qiao say? Did she send the hazelnuts to your uncle?"

"She didn't say anything. She said that I could call Secretary Ding and have him come down to pick it up. It's so close anyway. But, isn't my uncle on a business trip recently?"

"That's right. I'm on a business trip and I don't know when I'll be back."

Zhao Yaqin was a little anxious and angry. Even if she liked the other person, she couldn't see him/her because of busy work. How could she cultivate feelings for him/her?

……

On the day of Chenxin team building, given that the company is not large and offline physical stores will not participate, the leaders unanimously decided that employees should arrange their own itineraries.

Because the hot spring adopts a consumption-first system, you only need to use the group purchase card given by the company when you leave.

Tianshui Hot Spring is simply the ceiling of Hangzhou's bathing centers. The ticket price per person is more than 1,000 yuan. Usually, I only see it when watching short videos. Today, I can experience it in person. It really opens my eyes. The main reason is that the company has won several large orders in succession this year, and there is a high-end precedent of the company next door. The boss, who is usually more stingy than anyone else, also opened Tianen to be generous.

After Lu Xiaoqiao and the others finished their shower, they changed into the clothes provided by Tangquan and went to the dressing table to blow dry their hair.

"My hair is too thick and it takes me half a day to dry it. You two can do it first." Lu Xiaoqiao gave the only two unused hair dryers to Lin Lin and Zhao Jia, while she used the toner and lotion on the dressing table to do a simple skin care job.

"It's a pity that Momo didn't come today. The free cosmetics here are all big brands, and I've never used them before."

Zhao Jia had short hair, so she blew it herself a few times before going over to help Lu Xiaoqiao. "Didn't you say you're going to compensate offline sales? That's fine. Those who aren't formal employees still get some. But giving her money will make her happier than just letting her come here to play."

After Lin Lin finished her meal, she also wanted to help Lu Xiaoqiao, but she stopped her, "Lin Lin, put on your makeup first. We have to go quickly. We will be leaving for breakfast soon."

"Oh well."

Considering that she would have to take a sauna soon, Lin Lin only did some simple skin care and did not put on makeup as usual. When she was done, Lu Xiaoqiao's hair was not dry yet. She was really envious of her hair volume.

"Okay, no more blowing, let's leave it like this. I'll probably have to wash it again later. By the way, Sister Jia, will my brother-in-law come over tonight?"

Zhao Jia handed the hair dryer to another colleague who had just walked over. "Why wait until evening? He's probably in the leisure area upstairs by now."

Zhao Jia's guess turned out to be correct. When the three of them took the elevator to go upstairs to eat, when they passed by the leisure area, they saw Zhao Zhizhi sitting on the lazy sofa watching the football game on the screen on the wall.

"Are you so worried about Sister Jia that you even followed her here?" Lu Xiaoqiao joked with Zhao Zhizhi, and they all went to the dining area to have breakfast.

During the meal, Lin Lin received a call. After hanging up, she said to the others, "My uncle and Li Yuxuan are nearby. They said they were worried about me and insisted on coming over."

"Ah? They're both coming over? Then are you still going to play with us? You can't stay here tonight, right?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised to hear that Zhou Qi was coming over, but then she thought that given Lin Lin's family background, she would not normally come to such a place, let alone stay here at night.

"My grandparents agreed. My uncle doesn't usually pay much attention to me, but he just happened to be nearby and came to visit."

"Oh fine."

After they finished eating, Lin Lin said that Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan came over and were in the VIP room in the rest area.

Lu Xiaoqiao knew where it was. Although the buffet was included in the ticket, some items still required money, such as the private room that Lin Lin just mentioned. Ordinary leisure areas also had tatami partitions or small tents, but they could not accommodate so many people, so it was really difficult to occupy one.

"Xiao Qiao, please accompany me to say hello to my uncle. I don't want to go alone." Lin Lin hugged Lu Xiaoqiao's arm and acted coquettishly.

Lu Xiaoqiao said helplessly: "What are you afraid of? Your uncle won't eat you."

Although she said this, she still walked towards the VIP room with Lin Lin. When they reached the door of the innermost room, she politely raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside.

"Oh! Sister Xiao Qiao is here too! Come in quickly." Li Yuxuan hurriedly invited the two inside.

"Hello, Brother Li, I'm here with Lin Lin." Lu Xiaoqiao greeted him and followed him into the room.

The space in the private room is much more spacious than expected, about 40 square meters, and is fully equipped with a projector, leisure chairs, and a separate bathroom.

There was a row of sofas on the wall to the left of the door. At this moment, Zhou Qi, wearing a gray shirt, was sitting on one of them, concentrating on his work. His shirt was neatly tucked into his black trousers. Even when he was sitting, his waist was flat and smooth, without any trace of fat. There was a tablet on his legs, and his fingers were operating on the keyboard skillfully and quickly.

He heard voices and looked up. When he saw someone coming in, he put down his computer and said to the two of them, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Well, I just finished eating. Uncle, aren't you busy? How do you have time to come here?"

Before Zhou Qizheng could reply, Li Yuxuan, who was standing next to him, raised his lips and teased, "Your uncle has been away on business for several days. I've missed him so much after not seeing him for so long. I heard that you were going to spend the day here and stay here tonight. I wasn't worried about you... so we happened to be passing by, so we came to see you."

He emphasized the word "you". Although his worry was real, only he and his friend knew who he missed.

After listening to him, Lin Lin frowned and said, "So you can't let me stay here tonight? But our colleagues are all here, Xiao Qiao is here too, we all know each other, what could go wrong?"

Zhou Qizheng turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting next to her. The little girl probably had just finished taking a bath, her fair cheeks were flushed, and her eyes as clear as lake water were looking at him inquiringly.

He only glanced at it once, then turned his gaze back, "She can't stay here at night."

Facing his answer, Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised: "Ah? Why can't I do it?"

"It's okay to play during the day. It's better for girls not to spend the night outside."

This isn't some indecent place, Lu Xiaoqiao complained in her heart, but she didn't dare say it out loud, after all, the other person meant well.

"This is our company's team building, everyone is here. Now everyone is playing separately during the day, and in the evening we girls will get together, it's okay."
