My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

The two people sitting on the sofa turned their heads at the same time to look at Li Yuxuan who walked in. His words just now made Lu Xiaoqiao feel a little embarrassed.

She quickly stood up and said, "Brother Li."

After saying hello, I found that Zhao Zhizhi and Secretary Ding were following him.

When Lu Xiaoqiao saw Secretary Ding, she suddenly realized where Zhou Qizhen's clothes came from. She was really curious about how many W his annual salary was.

"Jia Jie and Lin Lin just woke up. Let's go wash up and change clothes. We'll meet in the lobby later."

Zhou Qi, who was still sitting on the sofa, frowned slightly, but his tone was still gentle: "Not eating breakfast?" He originally wanted to let her go back to sleep for a while, but he was afraid that the little girl would be embarrassed because she was shy.

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head.

"No, I just woke up and can't eat anymore."

After he finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Zhou Qizhen to say anything else.

After Lu Xiaoqiao and the others packed up, they went to the hall, where Zhou Qizhen and the others were already waiting.

When Secretary Ding saw Lu Xiaoqiao come out, he hurried over and asked the three of them for hand cards so that he could help pay the bill.

Lu Xiaoqiao knew that he had exceeded the time limit and would have to pay extra money later, so he refused to ask Secretary Ding for help. In the end, Secretary Ding said that the company had a cooperation with this place and then gave him the hand card.

After coming out of Tangquan, Zhou Qizhen said he wanted to send Lu Xiaoqiao off. At this moment, Zhao Zhizhi said that he wanted to go shopping with Zhao Jia, and asked Li Yuxuan to take the two of them with him when he sent Lin Lin off. After he said this, Li Yuxuan took a few people to the car they came in, while Lu Xiaoqiao and Secretary Ding got in the car that came to pick up Zhou Qizhen.

Because of Zhao Jia, Zhao Zhizhi saw a rental notice in the corridor when he was sending her home a few days ago. The address was the house opposite theirs, so he quickly rented the house and moved in. This way, the two of them could spend more time together, and they could go home together after shopping.

When the two got out of Li Yuxuan's car, Zhao Jia and Zhao Zhizhi found a fast food restaurant. While waiting for their meal, Zhao Zhizhi said, "Did you see it this time? Don't tell me you haven't seen it yet. Mr. Zhou's face is almost covered with a sign."

Zhao Jia drank a sip of the water that the waiter had just brought over.

"I see, but I didn't think about it that way until you told me."

"If it weren't for what happened last time, I would never believe that Mr. Zhou would like someone like Xiao Qiao."

Zhao Jia turned hostile when he heard this and glared at him, "What do you mean? Xiao Qiao is young and beautiful. He has good taste if he likes her."

Seeing Zhao Jia's misunderstanding, Zhao Zhizhi hurriedly explained: "It's not about whether they are worthy or not. I just feel that a successful man like Mr. Zhou, who is mature and sophisticated, how could he fall in love with a little white rabbit like Xiao Qiao."

"The main problem now is that Xiao Qiao herself doesn't know about this. You said Mr. Zhou likes our Xiao Qiao, so why doesn't he just say it directly?"

Zhao Zhizhi gave her a sidelong glance as if she were an idiot. "You're so funny. Whenever you like someone, you stand in front of them and say, 'I like you, come with me!' That's just crazy. You scared them away even though they had a good impression. There has to be a limit. Make sure the other person also likes you first."

Zhao Jia felt that what he said did make sense, but then she started to worry about Mr. Zhou again. "That's it. Xiao Qiao does have feelings for Mr. Zhou, but it's not a romantic one, it's a family one. Yesterday she told Lin Lin that she wanted to have an uncle like Mr. Zhou."

"Okay, let's stop worrying about them. Let's go shopping after dinner."

……

Zhou Qizheng and Lu Xiaoqiao were sitting in the back seat of a Maybach driving on a flat asphalt road.

Zhou Qizheng had just gotten into the car when he received a call from abroad. The conversation lasted for more than ten minutes. After the call ended, he turned to Lu Xiaoqiao and asked, "You didn't have breakfast yet. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly shook her head. She knew how busy he was and felt embarrassed to bother him to send her back.

"No need, Mr. Zhou, just go ahead and do your thing. My other roommate made some porridge this morning and said he'd leave some for me. I'll go back and eat some later."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh, by the way, my roommate went back to his hometown on the 11th and brought me some local specialties. They're wild hazelnuts, and they're quite fragrant. I don't know if you like them, so I left a bag for you. I'll go upstairs and get it for you later."

Specially saved for him? Zhou Qizheng's lips curled slightly, and his voice was low and pleasant: "I like hazelnuts very much, but... I have something to do later and it's inconvenient to carry them. How about you help me take them to the company tomorrow?"

"Okay! I'll microblog you then."

Secretary Ding, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, sighed in his heart that his boss was worthy of being called a fox by his business partners. Miss Lu said she would go upstairs to get him hazelnuts now, and he said he would get them tomorrow. Look, they will see each other again tomorrow!

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped steadily downstairs of the apartment where Lu Xiaoqiao lived.

After Lu Xiaoqiao got out of the car, Secretary Ding looked back at the boss's reluctant eyes, which really showed how worthless she was.

After Lu Xiaoqiao went upstairs for a while, Zhou Qizheng finally said, "Drive!"

After the car started, Secretary Ding began to report his work to him.

When Lu Xiaoqiao got home, she ate more than a bowl of the porridge that Qin Momo had left for her with some pickles. Perhaps because she had been eating greasy food in the hot spring all day, the light porridge and side dishes seemed particularly refreshing and delicious to her.

I decided to have porridge in the evening and sent a WeChat message to Zhao Jia asking her to buy a few bags of Wujiang pickled mustard greens when she passed by the supermarket downstairs when she came back.

In the evening, I asked those who had not yet returned home what time they would be home, and cooked porridge according to the time.

Qin Momo works part-time at her aunt's place. Since she didn't have to work overtime at night after the National Day holiday, she only worked normal daytime shifts, so she came home earlier than usual today.

Lu Xiaoqiao cooked the porridge and they all just got home. While eating, everyone could see that Qin Momo was obviously worried. When they asked her what was wrong, she just smiled and said it was nothing.

The night before yesterday, when I got up to go to the bathroom, the old house had poor sound insulation, so I heard her making a phone call in the room. She mentioned money in her conversation, and she seemed to be choking when she spoke. Lu Xiaoqiao guessed that she was probably talking about money again.

The two met through Zhao Zhizhi. From the day he met her, except for seven days of rest during the National Day holiday, he had been working and doing part-time jobs for the rest of the time.

Lu Xiaoqiao knew that she was in poor health and had been taking medicine all the time. A few years ago, because of the construction of a house at home, her uncle became disabled for life, and her aunt asked for one million.

Because she couldn't afford so much money, her mother forced her to marry the village chief's son, saying that she had to agree to give a betrothal gift of 500,000 yuan, which would be given to her uncle first, and the rest of the money would be given slowly.

But Momo had a boyfriend at that time. Zhao Zhizhi said that the guy was quite rich. However, not only did he not help Momo, he also thought that Momo was vain. Because of this, Momo almost committed suicide. Later, relatives borrowed some money from her. Zhao Zhizhi had just started working at that time. In order to help Momo, he applied for a lot of credit cards. When his mother found out, he got a beating.

Zhao Jia said that those who didn't know would think that they were true love, but only Zhao Jia knew about the friendship between them, and the person who was truly redeemed was Zhao Zhizhi.

When everyone was resting at night, Lu Xiaoqiao saw that Zhao Jia had turned off the lights for a while, so she got up and secretly went to Qin Momo's room. Not knowing whether she was asleep or not, she just hunched over and whispered in a very low voice, "Momo! Are you asleep?"

Qin Momo looked at her in surprise: "Not yet, what's wrong, Xiao Qiao? Why haven't you slept yet?"

Knowing she wasn't asleep, he walked in and closed the door behind him. He then turned around and sat down on the edge of her bed. He took out his phone, opened the bank app, and logged in while saying, "Momo, give me your card number. I know you need money urgently. I got a good bonus this month, and with the money I saved before, it's over 80,000. I'll transfer 80,000 to you, and I'll keep the remaining 2,000 for myself to eat."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoqiao said, Qin Momo quickly reached out and snatched her phone away: "How can that be, Xiaoqiao, how could I possibly use your money? Don't worry about me, it's okay, I've already contacted the bank staff, and I'm applying for a credit loan these days."

Lu Xiaoqiao disagreed, "Why would you take out a loan when I have this ready-made money? It's interest-free! Just listen to me and use this, okay? I'm lending it to you so I don't have any money to spend recklessly. Otherwise, I'm always spending money recklessly."

"Xiao Qiao, you've helped me a lot. You helped me find a job with your aunt, worked for me, and even left the orders on the day I worked so I could get a commission. I don't know how I'm going to repay you for all this."

"Why are you saying that? We are sisters! We should help each other when there is something going on. If you say that, you often get up early to make breakfast for me and Sister Jia!"

Seeing that she wanted to say something else, Lu Xiaoqiao threatened: "If you still refuse me, then I will tell Zhao Zhizhi and Sister Jia."

Qin Momo said anxiously, "No, don't tell Zhao Zhizhi. His mother just had surgery some time ago, and he and Zhao Jia are planning to buy a house. How could I possibly bother him again?"
