My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

After seeing the two off, Lu Xiaoqiao happily sat back at his workstation.

She has been feeling extremely depressed these days because of Jin Ling's affairs. She sent Jin Ling several messages yesterday but she didn't reply and didn't answer her calls. If she insisted on not coming to resign, she would definitely not get the money back.

Now she just hopes that this order can be signed smoothly, so that she can get a higher commission and she won’t have to worry about the 8,000 yuan anymore.

Lin Lin moved her chair closer to her, pursed her lips towards Li Na, and whispered, "Someone is so pissed off! She's just jealous and envious. You two are obviously relatives, so why is she acting like this? She even wants to monopolize the fabric samples."

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced in Li Na's direction.

"It doesn't matter. The manufacturer said they'll mail it to me in the next few days, so it'll arrive in time."

When I got off work in the evening, it started raining outside.

The rain is not heavy but dense, like countless silver threads slowly falling from the sky.

The weather, which had just warmed up a few days ago, instantly returned to its original state.

Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia didn't bring an umbrella. They got out of the car and ran towards home in the drizzle until they got downstairs to catch their breath.

Lu Xiaoqiao was wearing a windbreaker with a hood, so she didn't get wet at all while running.

In contrast, the pure cotton jacket Zhao Jia was wearing today had already been soaked to the point of being terribly wet.

"It's so infuriating! I wore my jacket for a week without a single rain event, and today I washed it, and it started raining. Not only did it rain, but we both forgot to bring an umbrella."

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhao Jia's coat, the fabric of which had become different shades due to being wet, and said with some concern: "Sister Jia, go upstairs and take a shower quickly. I'll make you some ginger soup."

"It's okay, I'm not that delicate."

The two walked upstairs one after the other. Lu Xiaoqiao was thinking about what to eat tonight. Momo recently found a part-time job in a cake shop, and it was just her and Zhao Jia. Maybe they could just cook some noodles. In fact, she hated eating noodles, but noodles were the cheapest.

"Jia Jie, can we cook noodles later? I wonder if there are any tomatoes left in the fridge. If not, we can make egg noodles."

Zhao Jia, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Lu Xiaoqiao wondered why she stopped suddenly.

He glanced at Zhao Jia and followed her gaze towards the door of his house, which was half a flight away.

Instantly, her breathing hitched.

I saw a man in a black suit standing there quietly, his tall figure looking a little hazy under the dim light.

If it weren't for Zhao Jia's pause earlier, Lu Xiaoqiao would have wondered why she had become so old and blurry-eyed when she was still so young.

Lu Xiaoqiao had been living in dire straits these past few days, and had completely forgotten about what Zhou Qizhen had asked her to think about for a few days.

She still thought it was a joke. Even if it was true, she would have refused. How could a gifted person like Zhou Qizhen allow himself to be rejected? The fact that he asked her to consider it was probably just a polite gesture for both parties.

But what does it mean for him to come here now?

Are you really here to ask her for answers?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoqiao's heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. Such a situation was obviously beyond her ability as she had no emotional experience.

Zhao Jia, who was standing between the two of them, was stunned for a long time before coming to his senses.

What a shocking scene she had witnessed!

Omg!

What did Zhao Zhizhi say before?

Oh! A man like Zhou Qizheng wouldn't be blocking the door like a fool.

But who is standing at her door now?

I didn't bring an umbrella but I was dry all over. It has been raining outside for a long time. I don't know how long I have been standing here waiting.

They had been standing there for a long time, and neither of the two parties showed any intention of speaking. But Zhao Jia couldn't wait any longer, as she was still wet all over.

"cough!"

Zhao Jia coughed, trying to break the silent atmosphere with his voice.

"Mr. Zhou, you're off work!"

Zhou Qizheng glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao who was hiding behind Zhao Jia and replied in a low voice, "Yeah! Just got back from a business trip."

No wonder he looked so tired. As a bystander, Zhao Jia was somewhat moved, but the person involved hid behind her and didn't come out.

"Is that so? Mr. Zhou, why don't you come inside and sit for a while? It's raining outside."

After Zhao Jia finished speaking, Zhou Qizhen did not answer but looked at Lu Xiaoqiao behind her, as if seeking her consent.

Looking at the dignified President Jiang Heng, he has to look at a woman's face even before entering the house to sit for a while when pursuing her.

While Lu Xiaoqiao wasn't paying attention, she leaned sideways on the stair handle, completely exposing Lu Xiaoqiao.

Without Zhao Jia's protection, Lu Xiaoqiao could no longer dodge.

He pretended to wipe off the non-existent water on his clothes, then looked up at Zhao Jia.

"Jia Jie, please go inside first. I'll go downstairs and talk to Mr. Zhou and come back up."

Zhao Jia now felt that Mr. Zhou was really pitiful. He didn't even allow her to enter the house and sit for a while!

"But it's raining outside!"

She wanted to say something good about Zhou Qizhen.

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced outside from the staircase landing.

"It's okay, I'll get an umbrella later, and it seems the rain has stopped."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Zhao Jia didn't say anything more. After all, matters of the heart were matters of one's own making, and outsiders could only provide reference.

He looked at Zhou Qizhen helplessly, went upstairs, opened the door and got a folding umbrella for the two of them.

I even picked a small one on purpose, thinking that this was the best I could do to help him.

After Zhao Jia closed the door, leaving the two people outside, without waiting for Zhou Qizhen to say anything, Lu Xiaoqiao turned around and went downstairs first.

When I went down to the first floor, the rain was falling, and the sound of the rain seemed hazy and unclear.

After a quick glance, he still couldn't see Zhou Qizheng's car: "Mr. Zhou, where's your car?"

"The driver brought me here, and I asked him to drive away."

In fact, it was the driver who went to the airport to pick up him, Li Yuxuan and Secretary Ding. After they got out of the airport, he couldn't wait to ask the driver to take him to see Lu Xiaoqiao. After he got off the car, the driver took the other two people. Because of this, he was ridiculed by Li Yuxuan all the way.

Lu Xiaoqiao asked in surprise: "How are you going to get back later?"

"The driver will come to pick me up later."

"Then why didn't you let him wait for you here?"

Zhou Qi stared at her for a long time without saying anything.

Well, she admitted she was a little lost for words.

Zhou Qizheng didn't give her another chance to escape: "The driver went to send Yuxuan and Secretary Ding off. I rushed to you as soon as I got off the plane. I can't wait to see you tomorrow."

Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't stand him suddenly speaking to her in this way.

It’s really... so earthy and straightforward.

"The rain isn't getting any heavier, let's go talk outside the complex!"

It was the time when everyone was getting off work and going home. If the two of them just stood here and chatted, not only would it be inconvenient, but Zhou Qizhen's unique aura and unusual clothing alone were enough to attract people's attention.

"it is good."

Zhou Qi was opening the umbrella that Zhao Jia had handed him upstairs just now. Lu Xiaoqiao fell silent as she looked at the umbrella that was obviously too small for the two of them.

"The umbrella is too small. I'm wearing a windbreaker so I'm not afraid of getting wet, and the rain isn't falling much."

Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything and insisted on holding the umbrella above her head.

The two walked along the wall outside the community. After a while, Lu Xiaoqiao saw that the shoulder of Zhou Qizhen's suit jacket was wet.

I asked him to hold the umbrella towards himself, but he refused. But I couldn't just stand there and watch him get wet in the rain.
