Chapter 18

Lu Xiaoqiao returned to the company and ran into Zheng Yan as soon as he got out of the elevator.

He hadn’t seen her since the fight that day. He didn’t know whether she didn’t come to work or was deliberately avoiding him.

The two were not in the same department and had already torn their faces apart a few days ago. There was no need to be cautious when they met again. As long as she didn’t provoke him, he would just pretend that nothing happened. If she deliberately made trouble again, the worst that could happen would be another fight.

Zheng Yan saw that Lu Xiaoqiao acted as if she didn’t see her. She walked straight towards the department after getting out of the elevator. 𝕎𝙒🅆.𝙑🅾𝓓𝕋𝙬1.𝓒𝘾

“Lu Xiaoqiao, Sister Na is back from a business trip. Auntie asked you two to go to her house for dinner tonight.” The tone of her voice was still as arrogant as before.

“Got it.”

Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao agree and leave without even looking back, Zheng Yan was furious and thought that one day she would avenge her for beating her.

After I get married to Liu Ye, I will be her boss. I will teach her a lesson and fire her if she doesn’t obey.

Lu Xiaoqiao returned to her workstation and just sat down when she received a WeChat message from Manager Qian, asking her to go to Jiang Heng to sign the contract at 10 am tomorrow.

Lu Xiaoqiao only replied with “OK”. It was impossible for her not to sign the contract just for the sake of face when things had come to this point.

Ten minutes later, she received another WeChat message.

It was an apology letter of more than 200 words, and every word was permeated with repentance and regret. He hoped that Lu Xiaoqiao could forgive him and give him a chance to make up for his guilt towards her.

The apology letter that was like bleeding was only for the last sentence.

I hope that Mr. Zhou will not know about this.

Lu Xiaoqiao did not reply to this message. Even though she did not want to make trouble to Zhou Qizhen, she also wanted to scare him and make him worry and sleep poorly.

When it was almost time to get off work, Lu Xiaoqiao sent a WeChat message to Zhao Jia, saying that she would take Liu Ye’s car to her aunt’s house for dinner after work, and asked her not to wait for her after work.

Six o’clock in the evening.

After Lu Xiaoqiao and Li Na finished their check-in, they came to the underground parking lot. They found Liu Ye’s BMW x5, opened the back door and got in one after another.

Zheng Yan had already sat in the co-pilot seat before they got in the car.

On the way, Zheng Yan and Li Na seemed to have discussed it. They talked enthusiastically, deliberately ignoring Lu Xiaoqiao and not talking to her, excluding her.

When Lu Xiaoqiao first came to work at Chenxin, her relationship with Li Na was pretty good.

The two are cousins. Li Na’s parents are civil servants. Compared with Lu Xiaoqiao, who is just an ordinary family, although she is often looked down upon by her because of family reasons, she will not unite with others to ignore her. The reason was that her aunt’s friend introduced a boyfriend to Li Na, who is also a civil servant and a local in Hangzhou. His family also paid the full amount for the wedding house. Li Na was very satisfied with this blind date.

The blind date was scheduled at her aunt’s house. Lu Xiaoqiao was supposed to have dinner with Zhao Jia and the others that day, but before they got there, Zhao Jia called and said she had something to do, so the dinner was cancelled.

She didn’t know that they were going to have a blind date at her aunt’s house. When she returned, she was spotted by Li Na’s blind date. Since then, Li Na thought that Lu Xiaoqiao was doing it on purpose, relying on her beauty to steal someone else’s boyfriend.

…

When they walked into the house, the food was already ready and placed on the dining table in the dining room.

“Li Na, Xiaoqiao, come here! Go wash your hands and eat quickly, another dish will be out of the pot soon.” Zhang Minzhi greeted them enthusiastically.

Lu Xiaoqiao caught a glimpse of a strange middle-aged woman cooking in the kitchen, guessing that she was the new nanny.

After washing their hands, they sat around the table in turn. Lu Xiaoqiao still sat in the same position she had sat in when she lived here before.

On the dining table were four Northeastern specialties and two Hangzhou local dishes. The Northeastern dishes were stewed pork ribs with pickled cabbage, sweet and sour pork, and pork slices with stir-fried pork.

The cold pork jelly and the two Hangzhou stir-fried vegetables were placed closest to Lu Xiaoqiao. The tabletop could not be moved, so she only ate these three dishes.

“Xiaoqiao, I heard that Jiang Heng’s order was negotiated?”

One who asked Lu Xiaoqiao the question was her uncle-in-law Liu Zhengqiang who was sitting opposite her.

As soon as Liu Zhengqiang finished speaking, everyone else looked at Lu Xiaoqiao.

“Did you negotiate the order from Jiang Heng?” Li Na, who was sitting next to Lu Xiaoqiao, was surprised, and her tone was unclear whether it was disdain or disbelief.

“It’s not confirmed yet. It will be confirmed after the contract is signed tomorrow.” 𝕎🅆🅆.𝓥🄾𝙙𝙏🅆1.🄲🅲

“The contract will be signed tomorrow, what difference can there be? It will definitely be done. Xiaoqiao, ask your uncle-in-law to continue working in the sales department. At the end of the year, your uncle-in-law will give you a bigger bonus. Do you think it’s okay?”

Before Lu Xiaoqiao could say anything, the kitchen nanny brought a plate of freshly steamed hairy crabs.

Liu Zhengqiang hurriedly took a hairy crab and handed it to Lu Xiaoqiao: “My uncle knows that you like to eat this. I received it yesterday but couldn’t bear to eat it. I specially kept it until today when you came to eat it.”

Lu Xiaoqiao took it and said “thank you” and didn’t say anything else. She felt a little uneasy, afraid that her uncle would go back on his word and disagree with her transfer to the design department.

After dinner, my aunt and uncle went back to the room as usual. The store received the money for the day. Liu Ye was called out by a friend, and the others watched TV in the living room.

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at the people sitting on the sofa in the living room. The sofa in the living room was not big. Three people sat on the long side facing the TV. The only vacant sofa on the side was deliberately pulled by Zheng Yan to sit on it when she saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t bother to pay attention to her childish behavior. She went upstairs to find her aunt and mentioned that Qin Momo wanted to work part-time in the offline store on weekends.

After seeing her aunt agreed, she talked about what she had not said at the dinner table just now. She didn’t want to stay in the sales department. Her aunt told her not to think too much, and she would definitely do what she said about transferring her to another position if she signed Jiang Heng’s order.

Seeing her aunt agreed, she left with peace of mind.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Liu Zhengqiang thought she had gone downstairs, so he spoke without hesitation.

“You make random wishes all day. Xiao Qiao is beautiful. What else can she do if not sales? She can talk and handle things. Besides, she is the only good-looking salesperson in our company. If you transfer her away, I wonder where you can find another one.”

Lu Xiaoqiao’s heart trembled suddenly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.

She suddenly remembered what Manager Qian said this afternoon: “You all recruit beautiful salespeople, aren’t they just there to accompany customers?”

After listening to Liu Zhengqiang’s words, Zhang Minzhi’s voice couldn’t help but rise a few points. “What’s wrong with being beautiful? Do you have to be a salesperson just because you are beautiful? She is the daughter of my own sister, Liu Zhengqiang, I advise you to put your mind right. You must do what you promised me. Anyway, you will transfer to another position after signing the contract tomorrow.”

“What are you talking about? How can my mind be wrong? Who wouldn’t be pleasing to the eye of that beautiful girl? I don’t believe that a beautiful girl and an ugly one standing there at the same time, who wouldn’t want to give the order to the beautiful one.”

Lu Xiaoqiao stared at herself in the mirror on the sink. She had been praised for her beauty since she was a child. Is it wrong to be beautiful? She just wanted to be able to work simply and do what she likes simply.

…

The next morning.

Lu Xiaoqiao was sitting at her workstation eating breakfast. Because it was still early, many colleagues in the company had not come yet, not to mention Lin Lin at the next workstation. She would enter the company at the last minute of clocking in every day.

Lu Xiaoqiao came to the company early today because she was going to sort out the materials for the contract she was going to sign with Jiang Heng. She came a little earlier and thought about sorting out the relevant materials she needed.

However, before she went to Jiang Heng, Manager Qian came to her with the contract!

Lu Xiaoqiao rolled up the bag of pancakes she had eaten and placed it on the table next to her. She drank a sip of water, glanced at Manager Qian standing next to her, and said, “Why is Manager Qian here?”

Manager Qian didn’t sleep well all night. He really couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship Lu Xiaoqiao had with the president. Secretary Ding was so respectful to her. It must not be an ordinary relationship.

He was worried that when Lu Xiaoqiao went to the company to sign the contract, if she happened to meet the president again, the little ancestor in front of him would say something casually, and he would be dead.

“I came to sign the contract with Miss Lu.” Manager Qian smiled flatteringly.

After that, he helped Lu Xiaoqiao throw the bag on the table that was about to be thrown away into the trash can next to her.

Lu Xiaoqiao was disgusted by his flattery because of the power relationship.

Not wanting to waste time talking to him, he took him to the conference room, signed the contract and sent him away.

On the same day, Lu Xiaoqiao took the order contract and went through all the job transfer procedures.
