My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

After listening to what Zhou Qizhen said, Lu Xiaoqiao thought about it for a long time. Finally, she called her aunt and tactfully told her what she had heard from Zhou Qizhen. As for what her aunt and uncle-in-law would decide in the end, that would depend on them.

……

The 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

As New Year's Eve gets closer, everyone becomes busier and busier, even the elderly in the community are busy making bacon, salted fish, and skewered pressed duck, and hanging them in front of the windows or on the balcony to dry.

Although Lu Xiaoqiao has lived in Hangzhou for many years, he still can't get used to the smell of this local specialty.

Both roommates happened to be on business trips today. Qin Momo couldn't come back in the evening. Zhao Jia said it depended on the situation. She was left alone and didn't want to move. But because of the special smells she smelled when she got off work, she successfully saved a dinner.

The neighbor opposite the house has been busy with renovations every day recently. When Lu Xiaoqiao came back from get off work, he happened to see several workers moving furniture into the house. It seemed that the renovation was almost done.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door. Lu Xiaoqiao looked out through the peephole on the door and saw a man standing outside. It was the neighbor who looked very similar to Secretary Ding.

Although she knew he was a neighbor, she didn't know much about him yet. So when Lu Xiaoqiao opened the door, she asked cautiously, "What's going on?"

The man said politely, "Hello, miss, may I ask if you have a tape measure at home? If so, could you lend it to me?"

Seeing that he just wanted to borrow something, Lu Xiaoqiao let down her guard and said truthfully, "I don't have a measuring tape, but do you have a measuring tape like that?"

The other party thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, thank you. I'll return it to you when I'm done."

Lu Xiaoqiao replied, "You're welcome," and went into the house to find a ruler to lend to the other party.

After a few minutes, the other party returned the ruler.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Lu Xiaoqiao was about to go to bed, there was another knock on the door.

He looked out through the peephole with doubt.

It was the same neighbor, but this time there was a tall and thin young man standing next to him, thinking that they wanted to borrow some tools again.

However, this time she only opened the door a crack, stuck her head out, and asked the two of them, "What do you want?"

Without waiting for the previous person to speak, the tall and thin man looked at her and said, "Are you the only one at home now? Is there no one else?" After saying that, he glanced into the living room behind Lu Xiaoqiao.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao's alarm bells rang all over her body. Before the two men opposite could react, she rudely slammed the door shut. Then, through the door, she said to the two men outside, "My boyfriend is at home."

After she finished speaking, she put her ears to the door to listen to the sounds outside. The tall and thin man seemed to want to knock on the door again, but was stopped by another person, who said that whoever knew about it would not be spared.

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little scared and called Zhao Jia.

"Jia Jie, can you come back today?"

Zhao Jia could tell something was wrong with her tone: "I'm already at the station. What's wrong with you, Xiao Qiao?"

Lu Xiaoqiao told her what had just happened.

Zhao Jia quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qiao. If he knocks on the door again, call the police. I'm about to board the high-speed train and will be back soon."

After comforting her for a long time, Zhao Jia finally hung up the phone.

After the two hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao was still afraid. After hesitating for a long time, she called Zhou Qizhen.

She knew that Zhou Qizhen had just returned from a business trip today, but she also knew that he had an important dinner today. Would it affect him if she called him rashly?

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. It seemed that he was really busy. He was so tired, but he couldn't give any help and was causing trouble. In an instant, tears welled up in his eyes.

I sniffed and was about to hang up when the call was connected.

The person who answered the phone was not Zhou Qizhen himself, but Secretary Ding. Lu Xiaoqiao didn't feel comfortable telling him what was wrong with her, and just said that she was calling to ask if Zhou Qizhen had finished his work.

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, Secretary Ding hurriedly said, "Ms. Lu, please wait a moment. I'll give the phone to President Zhou now."

Lu Xiaoqiao quickly said, "No need."

Secretary Ding quickly replied, "Yes, yes. Mr. Zhou left his phone with me because he was worried it would be too noisy inside and he wouldn't be able to hear the call. Please wait a moment. I'll give the phone to Mr. Zhou right away."

After saying that, he ran towards the private room where Zhou Qizhen was.

How can I not use it? I can ignore other people’s, but I must take care of the future boss’s, and it must be communicated today.

The main thing is that when I saw the incoming call just now, it took me a long time to realize who the person with the note "good boy" was.

"Good boy", my God! The boss actually called his girlfriend "good boy".

Secretary Ding rushed into the club's private room without even glancing at anyone. He quickly walked to Zhou Qizheng's side, then leaned over, put his head close to his ear, and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, it's Guaibao calling."

Zhou Qi was looking at the way Secretary Ding came in just now, and he thought something big had happened.

After Secretary Ding finished speaking, he winked at him. Zhou Qizhen was stunned for a moment, then he realized who Secretary Ding was talking about.

The note "Good boy" was made on a whim during the days when he was away on a business trip because he missed her so much and couldn't sleep at night.

Originally, I wanted to go find her as soon as I got off the plane today, but I was stopped here by a call from Shen Yi. I attended a dinner that had been arranged a long time ago on his behalf. After the meal, I came to the club again, enduring the fatigue and longing to listen to them "howling" here.

Zhou Qizhen stood up, said hello to the people in the private room, and walked out of the room with his cell phone.

I went to a relatively quiet place outside and said, "Hello?" to make sure she was listening on the other end of the phone.

"Did I disturb you?" Lu Xiaoqiao's voice was a little timid.

Zhou Qizheng frowned slightly, because Lu Xiaoqiao had never spoken to him in such a tone before, and there was a hint of caution in every word.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you call me, I will never bother you."

Hearing him say this, Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little relieved. Holding the cell phone in her right hand, she unconsciously placed her left hand on the quilt, constantly picking at the lace on it.

"Did something happen?" Zhou Qizhen knew her too well.

"It's nothing serious, it's just..." Lu Xiaoqiao recounted what happened that night to him again.

After hearing this, Zhou Qizheng's expression instantly became serious. He warned, "Go lock the door now. Don't open it for anyone who knocks before I get here. Got it?"

Lu Xiaoqiao said "hmm".

After Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone, he walked out of the club without any pause. Finally, he even ran to the car and told the driver to drive to Lu Xiaoqiao's house.

On the way, I took the time to call Secretary Ding and gave him a brief explanation.

Secretary Ding returned to the private room and explained to the customers inside that President Zhou would definitely entertain them again tomorrow.

Several customers also understood, because when Mr. Zhou went out just now, it was not difficult to see from his back that there was a hint of urgency in his steps.

The other party is so anxious, how can they use this to control the other party? After all, they have put in a lot of effort to cooperate with Xingyao Technology Company.

……

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished calling Zhou Qizhen, she sat on the bed with her knees bent, hugged her legs, and waited for him to come. Not long after she put down the phone, he called again.

"I just hung up because I had to deal with something. You don't have to hang up now."

Lu Xiaoqiao was puzzled: "Why?"

Zhou Qizheng whispered back, "If someone talks to you, will you feel less scared?"

After he said this, Lu Xiaoqiao wanted to cry again, but she was afraid that Zhou Qizhen would hear it, so she just said "hmm" as a response.

During this journey, Zhou Qi was patient and told her interesting things in the most gentle tone to distract her attention and make her no longer so scared.

After a while, there was a dull "bang" from the phone, followed by the sound of someone coming up the stairs.

Lu Xiaoqiao's heart was beating rapidly with the sound of someone going up the stairs.
