Chapter 31

After watching her until she was out of sight, Zhou Qizhen turned around and walked into the building reluctantly.

He returned to the office, but he did not rest or rush to work.

Instead, he sat on the sofa and thought about Lu Xiaoqiao’s expression. Although she did not say anything, her expression showed what she was thinking. She felt that he could not even peel a hazelnut properly.

Just after lunch break, Lu Xiaoqiao had just turned on her computer to prepare for work when she received a photo sent by Zhou Qizhen.

When she opened the photo, she saw that there were more than ten whole, peeled hazelnuts neatly placed on the brown desk.

Lu Xiaoqiao could not help but smile secretly, thinking that he was so competitive!

Then, the other party sent another message. 🅆🆆𝕎.🅅𝕆𝘿𝕋🅆1.🄲𝘾

Z【The hazelnuts are delicious, thank you.】

Lu Xiaoqiao【You’re welcome, Mr. Zhou, as long as you like it. [Happy]】 As long as he likes it, I was afraid that he would dislike it before.

Z【It’s so delicious that I can’t bear to eat it. 】

Lu Xiaoqiao【Mr. Zhou, just eat it without worry! I’ll ask my mother to send some more by express in a few days. 】

Z【Will it be troublesome? 】

Lu Xiaoqiao【No, express delivery is very convenient, as long as you like it, it’s fine [grin]】

She told her mother more than once that the elders of her friends’ families were very kind to her, and that the specialties of her hometown would make him like them. Her mother would probably be very happy if she knew about it.

Because of a few messages, Zhou Qi was in a happy mood the whole afternoon. Although he didn’t show anything on his face, his attitude during the meeting was obviously more talkative than usual, which made the executives in the entire conference room relax.

When I got off work in the evening, the weather suddenly cooled down a bit. It was so hot during the day that I wanted to turn out my short-sleeved shirt, and now it was so cold that I wanted to put on another coat.

When Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia arrived home, they were about to open the door when they saw the door of the opposite room opened from the inside. Zhao Zhizhi walked out and hugged Zhao Jia, saying weakly: “Baby! I have a cold!”

Hearing his nickname, Lu Xiaoqiao got goose bumps all over the floor and rubbed his arms with his hands: “Hey! That’s enough, I don’t even need to eat dinner.”

Zhao Jia raised her hand and touched his head: “Do you have a high fever? Did you go to the hospital?”

Zhao Zhizhi continued to hold her and didn’t let go: “I went and got medicine, I just took it.”

“Xiao Qiao, you go inside first, I’ll go and accompany him for a while.”

“Okay, Sister Jia, then are you going to stay here tonight?” After saying that, he winked mischievously.

Zhao Jia smiled and hit her: “What do you think?”

Although the two knew each other for a long time and had been in love for two years, Zhao Zhizhi said that as long as he was not able to give the person he liked a harbor, he would not go to the last step. He said he was afraid that the person he loved would regret it.

In his own words, if you can’t give, it means you can’t afford it either.

“Then I’ll cook some porridge, and we’ll eat together later.”

After everyone finished eating, Lu Xiaoqiao cleaned up the kitchen, washed up, and then lay on the bed to check her phone.

When it was almost nine o’clock, he remembered that Qin Momo said yesterday that she was going to work part-time at the bar. After thinking about it, he was still a little worried, so he sent her a message. After waiting for about ten minutes, there was no reply from the other party. Thinking that she was probably busy and didn’t see it, he called her directly, but the ringtone rang for a long time and no one answered. Lu Xiaoqiao was a little anxious.

Suddenly, he remembered that Momo said that day that she went with Jin Ling, so he quickly dialed Jin Ling’s mobile number. Fortunately, the two of them left each other’s contact information when they went to the temple together.

The ringtone rang for more than ten times before it was picked up. As soon as it was connected, a deafening sound of music and a bustling crowd came from the other end of the phone.

Without waiting for the other end to speak, Lu Xiaoqiao asked anxiously: “Hello! Jin Ling, is Momo with you? I just sent her a message but she didn’t reply. I called her but she didn’t answer. You guys…”

“Beep!” The call was hung up.

I don’t know if she hung up on purpose or accidentally. Just when I was about to call again, I received a message from her.

[Come over quickly, Momo is in trouble.]

Seeing the message from Jin Ling, Lu Xiaoqiao’s heart beat uncontrollably. While sending her a message to ask what happened and if she was in danger, she ran to the door opposite.

Regardless of whether the neighbors were asleep or not, they would come out to scold her for disturbing the neighbors. “Bang! Bang! Bang!” knocked on Zhao Zhizhi’s door.

“Jiajie, Zhao Zhizhi, you two, come out quickly.” 🅆🆆𝙬.𝕍𝓞𝙙𝓣🅆1.𝓒ℂ

Zhao Jia was about to go back when she heard a loud knock on the door outside the room. Zhao Zhizhi, who had just fallen asleep, was also woken up: “Who is it?”

Zhao Jia took the clothes placed beside the bed: “It seems to be Xiao Qiao, you go to sleep quickly, and I’m going back too.”

When she opened the door, she saw Lu Xiaoqiao standing outside the door with disheveled hair, anxious as if she would tear the door down if she didn’t open it.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Qiao?”

“Jiajie, Momo is in trouble!”

“What’s wrong with Momo?” Zhao Zhizhi walked out of the room after hearing the sound.

Lu Xiaoqiao told the story again, and several people hurriedly changed their clothes and took a taxi to the place where Momo worked part-time.

Arriving at the location, Zhao Zhizhi paid the bill, opened the car door and ran into the bar, Zhao Jia and Lu Xiaoqiao followed closely behind him.

Lu Xiaoqiao had never been to a bar before, and walked through a corridor before entering the interior. As soon as she entered, the harsh music hit her eardrums. The lights inside were blurred, the crowd was surging, the noise, the clinking of glasses, and the cheers were intertwined.

Jin Ling later sent a message saying that she and Momo were in the booth, and the few of them took a lot of effort to get through the noisy crowd to the relatively quiet booth area.

Lu Xiaoqiao anxiously scanned the entire booth area, and finally saw Qin Momo at a position near the bar. Seeing that she was still standing there safely, his heart finally settled.

Qin Momo stood there with her head down, and on the table in front of her was a tower of wine glasses, with 100 yuan in cash on each layer. The lower you go, the more money you have, and the more wine you have.

These are the commissions she earned today. She thought she could get so much money by selling so many wines on the first day. However, because she accidentally stained the bag of the other party’s girlfriend, she had to drink all the wine in front of her today as an apology.

She had been deadlocked here for almost half an hour. It was obviously his girlfriend who bumped into her and she spilled the wine. Even so, she apologized first, but it didn’t work. Later, she said that she didn’t want the commission today, but the other party said that she had to pay for the bag. How could she afford 30,000 yuan?

The doctor clearly told her not to drink, but if she drank and rushed to the hospital for gastric lavage, it should be in time.

At this time, a man in a burgundy shirt sitting in the middle of the booth slowly said: “If you don’t drink, you won’t be compensated like this later. You will have to pay for my girlfriend’s bag separately.”

After hearing what he said, Qin Momo finally reached out to the top of the wine glass tower and was about to pick it up.

“Wait.”

Hearing Zhao Zhizhi’s voice, she turned her head to look at him, and then saw the two roommates standing behind him, asking them why they were here.

Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia hurriedly walked to her side, holding her hands, telling her not to be afraid with their bodies. At this moment, Qin Momo was more afraid of getting her friends involved.

Her broken life was not afraid of being broken even more, but they were all good people, and there was no need for them to get involved with a group of rich second-generations that they could not afford to offend because of her.
