Chapter 19

5:30 pm, Chen Xin Design Reception Room.

It has been almost a month since Lu Xiaoqiao was transferred from the sales department to the design department.

It hasn’t been a long time, but for her, it is the happiest time since she graduated and started working. The only thing that is not going well is that the man sitting in front of her is looking for trouble.

“Mr. Tang, I have revised the design draft eight times! You said the color is not right, so why don’t we go to the sales department to see the color of the finished product design to see if there is what you want?”

Tang Qian sat on a chair in the reception room, crossed his legs, squinting at the woman in front of him.

The investigators said that she was a country girl from the countryside, but she doesn’t look like one. How can a country girl be so white?

However, at present, apart from being beautiful and having fair skin, there is nothing special about her.

“I want a custom design. Why does Miss Lu always sell me finished products? Are you afraid that I don’t have money? Jiang Heng’s orders can be customized, but our Far East can’t?” 🅆🆆𝙬.𝕍🅾𝙙𝓣𝙒1.𝙘𝓒Lu

Xiaoqiao was speechless. She felt that this person was just looking for trouble.

From the moment she came in, she had to compete with Jiang Heng in everything from beginning to end. A few days ago, Chen Xin said that her order was urgent, and she stayed up all night to complete the design draft.

Ten design drawings were revised again and again, and a satisfactory design was selected from them. But now because of a color problem, it has not been decided since 2:30 in the afternoon until now when it is almost time to get off work.

But who can blame him for being God, and this God has silver hair standing upright and a black T-shirt with a full skull pattern, which looks very difficult to mess with.

Taking a deep breath, “Mr. Tang, you misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. How about this? I’ll list all the color pictures together, and you can just choose one from them.”

Tang Qian stared at her for a moment. Ha! She has a good temper.

He deliberately made things difficult for her for a long time, but she didn’t show any unhappy expression.

“Forget it, let’s stop here for today. My eyes hurt. I’ll go back and think about it.”

“Okay, Mr. Tang, tell me after you think about it.”

Seeing Tang Qian stand up, Lu Xiaoqiao also stood up and sent him to the door.

If it was a normal day to get off work late, it would be fine, she could stay up until any time, but she really had something to do tonight.

Lin Lin sprained her ankle a few days ago and was resting at home. She called Lu Xiaoqiao and said she wanted to eat the mustard prawns she made, so she made an appointment to go to her house to make them today.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Lin Ziyang’s car to the Zhou family’s old house. Because it was the rush hour after work, it was almost seven o’clock when she arrived at the old house.

This was not her first time here, but every time she came, she would still be shocked by this old house. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its geographical location was unique. It was worthy of being the richest man’s home.

Lu Xiaoqiao calculated in her heart whether she could afford the place where the stone lions squatted at the gate with her lifetime salary.

After driving the car into the yard and parking it in the garage, when the two walked out of the garage, they saw a black Cullinan parked under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

“My uncle is back, with his car.”

Lu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and took a look. She didn’t know much about cars, but she felt that the appearance of the car matched its owner very well.

The two went up the steps and just entered the inner door, they saw Lin Lin standing on one leg in the hallway waiting for them.

“What are you standing here for? Aren’t you afraid that you won’t take good care of it and it will cause a root of disease?” Lu Xiaoqiao blamed her, but quickly helped her to sit on the sofa. “

Xiaoqiao, you are finally here. I told her several times but she didn’t listen. She insisted on standing there waiting for you. If she can’t eat this mustard prawn today, she probably won’t be able to sleep well.”

Zhao Yaqin came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face and a fruit plate in her hand. Although she is nearly seventy years old, she looks much younger than her peers because she takes good care of herself.

“Grandma, why are you like this? I missed Xiaoqiao.”

Zhao Yaqin smiled and agreed: “Okay, okay, I miss Xiaoqiao, not the prawns.”

“Grandma!”

Lu Xiaoqiao called Zhao Yaqin grandma just like Lin Lin.

“Xiao Qiao, are you tired? Sit down and take a rest. You must have rushed here right after work!”

Zhao Yaqin liked this young and energetic girl very much. She was pretty and kind-hearted.

She had wanted to match her up with Lin Ziyang, but when the girl graduated, Lin Ziyang had a girlfriend and said that he only treated the girl as a sister.

“It’s okay, grandma, I’m not tired. I’ll go to the kitchen first.” 𝕎𝕎𝕎.𝓥𝕆🄳𝙩𝙒1.🄲🄲 said and walked towards the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang in the kitchen saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming in and said, “Xiaoqiao, I put the shrimp in the sink. I didn’t process it because it was not fresh when I cooked it. Tell me what to do. You go to season the sauce and I’ll process the shrimp. It’s faster this way.”

Lu Xiaoqiao agreed and took a look at the shrimp in the sink: “Aunt Zhang, the shrimp is so big. Cut the back and abdomen but don’t cut it off. It will be more flavorful and easier to peel when you eat it.”

The two were busy in the kitchen, and Zhao Yaqin also went to help them for a while. When the dishes were ready and served to the table outside, they saw Zhou’s father and Zhou Qizhen and his son walking down from the second floor.

The moment Zhao Yaqin saw Zhou Qizhen, she stood there uncomfortably, and her tone of voice revealed a hint of caution and flattery.

“Well, Qi Zheng, your uncle Liu sent a wild big yellow fish. You love steamed fish the most, so stay here for dinner!”

Zhou Qi Zheng only glanced at her and replied in a cold tone: “No need.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure walked out of the kitchen: “Lin Lin, the mustard prawns you’ve been thinking about are ready.”

The tall figure paused slightly, surprised by Lu Xiaoqiao’s sudden appearance.

However, the words could not be taken back.

Zhou’s father looked at Zhao Yaqin’s hurt expression, sighed slightly, turned around and said to Zhou Qi Zheng: “Didn’t you have no meal? Stay here and eat! Just finish your meal and send Xiaoqiao back on the way.”

Seeing that Zhou Qi Zheng didn’t say anything else, he knew that this was agreed.

Zhao Yaqin happily arranged for everyone to sit at the table, and she went to ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes.

At the round dining table, Zhou’s father sat in the main seat, Zhao Yaqin and Zhou Qizhen sat on his left and right, Lin Ziyang sat next to Zhou Qizhen, and then Lin Lin and Lu Xiaoqiao.

Lu Xiaoqiao learned from Lin Lin a long time ago that Zhao Yaqin was not her biological grandmother, but the wife married by her grandfather.

However, judging from the fact that Zhou Qizhen was invited to dinner just now, except for his cold eyes towards his stepmother, the rest of the family got along like ordinary relatives.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt that it was probably not allowed to talk at the dinner table of wealthy families, and no one spoke at the moment, so she just buried her head in eating.

But she didn’t know that across from her, a hot gaze was cast at her from time to time.

The last time the two met was at the Haicheng Exhibition.

Zhou Qizhen was busy with the acquisition case and the opening of the business center after returning from Haicheng. He also went on business trips several times in the middle, and there was no chance to meet at all. Unexpectedly, they met by chance today.

Zhao Yaqin’s mind was all on Zhou Qizhen. In the past, no matter how she persuaded him, he would not stay for dinner except during festivals. But today, he was so easy to talk to and stayed.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that his eyes kept glancing at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting next to her.

Maybe I was overthinking!

After all, the two of them were very different in status and age.

Once there was suspicion in her heart, she would observe more carefully.

She knew a little about his character. Even if he hid his feelings very well, it was not difficult to guess it when combined with his agreement to stay for dinner tonight.

Zhao Yaqin was a little excited about this discovery.

If she helped him keep the girl he liked by his side, he would not hate her so much, and maybe he could call her aunt as before.

If he really liked this girl, she would help him to chase her no matter what.

After dinner, they chatted in the living room for a while. It was almost nine o’clock. Because it was too late, Lu Xiaoqiao got up and said goodbye.
