Chapter 4

Lu Xiaoqiao entered the house and found that both roommates were not at home.

Just after putting down her luggage, she heard the phone ringing in her bag. She fumbled for the phone in her bag and saw the caller ID of her aunt flashing on the screen.

She swiped the screen to answer the call: “Aunt!”

“Xiaoqiao! How come you moved out without saying a word? I said I would ask Liu Ye to send you there tomorrow.”

“Didn’t Zheng Yan tell you?” She cried so miserably that Lu Xiaoqiao thought she would exaggerate and accuse her.

“No, when I came back, the child said he was sleepy and went to bed early.”

It seems that she is not stupid. She had a fight with her in-laws before she got married. It would not sound good to tell others about it. I guess she also wanted to save face. Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t want her aunt to worry about her: “My friend happened to drive by there and knew I was moving. He thought I had a lot of things and asked to help me move some first. After they came, I moved in.”

The aunt was a little skeptical: “Which friend of yours has a car, a man or a woman?”

“Lin Lin’s brother, don’t guess, he has a girlfriend.” The aunt knew Lin Lin, but didn’t know her real family background. Because Lin Lin was low-key, she thought she was just an ordinary clerk in her company. 𝙬𝙬𝙬.𝕍𝙊🄳𝙩𝙬1.ℂ🅲After explaining for a long time, my aunt stopped questioning: “You took the dog with you, too. Hey, this is my fault.”

Originally, seeing that the old lady liked the puppy next door, I wanted to buy one to entertain her. Who would have thought that she was allergic to dog hair?

When I knew that the old lady was allergic to dog hair, my uncle-in-law got angry at my aunt and threatened to throw the puppy out. Lu Xiaoqiao, who was about to move out, asked for the puppy: “Well, I brought it with me.”

“That’s good. Be careful when you live outside. Come to my place for dinner every Monday like your sister Na.” Finally, he gave a lot of instructions before hanging up the phone.

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished the call, she carried the pet cage at the door to the middle of the living room and carefully checked the condition of Tuanzi in the cage. The little guy was very well behaved and had not made a single sound in the car just now. Seeing that he was in good spirits, she poured him some water and went to pack her luggage with peace of mind.

There are three rooms in the house. The master bedroom with a private bathroom is for Zhao Jia, the oldest of the three. Lu Xiaoqiao lives in the guest bedroom with another roommate. The monthly rent is 3,400 yuan. The three of them share the rent. Zhao Jiafei insists on taking the extra 100 yuan, saying that she should get more for living in the master bedroom, and 100 yuan is a bit too little.

Lu Xiaoqiao dragged her luggage into her room. There was a window in her room. Standing by the window, she could see the street outside the community. When it was quiet, she could even hear the voice broadcast of the payment code of the vegetable vendor across the street. Although it was a bit noisy because it was close to the street, she liked this kind of fireworks.

Old communities also have their advantages. The surrounding daily supporting facilities are very complete. You can buy anything. There is also a night market not far from the community, which is even livelier.

When the two roommates were almost done packing, they came back. They heard the door open and Lu Xiaoqiao walked out of the room, startling the two people who had just entered. Zhao Jia, who was walking in front, said, “Damn, Xiaoqiao, you are giving me a surprise.”

“I sent you a WeChat message, but you didn’t see it? So, are you surprised?”

Qin Momo, who was walking behind, poked her head out, her face full of joy and excitement: “Xiaoqiao, did you move in early?”

…

The three of them came to the living room. Zhao Jia and Qin Momo sat on the sofa with Tuanzi in their arms, looking at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sitting on a small stool opposite the coffee table. While eating the leftover cold noodles they brought back from the night market, they recounted what happened in the evening.

“She didn’t dare to tell your aunt, because she might whisper in Liu Ye’s ear that night to distort the facts.” Zhao Jia and Lu Xiaoqiao were also colleagues, and they knew Zheng Yan’s personality.

Lu Xiaoqiao tied up the box of cold noodles with the plastic bag it had been in and threw it into the trash can next to the coffee table: “She used to be like a blower. If she suddenly stopped blowing because I beat her, I would look down on her.”

“What does Liu Ye like about her? She’s just average looking and her personality is not likable. Could it be that he likes her because her dad is the vice president of a bank branch?”

“I don’t know what Liu Ye thinks, but my aunt’s mother-in-law must be because of this.”

Zhao Jia nodded and said, “It’s hard to say. Men are sometimes more realistic than women.”

It was almost ten o’clock, and the three chatted for a few more words before washing up and going to bed.

…

The next day.

When Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia got up, Qin Momo got up early to go to work because the company was far from where they lived.

The two bought a pancake downstairs and took the bus to the subway station. The three of them agreed when they rented the house that they would buy breakfast from Monday to Friday, and cook dinner and weekends all day.

On the first day of work after moving to the new house, I got up half an hour later than when I lived at my aunt’s house, but I still arrived ten minutes earlier. 🆆🆆𝙬.𝙫𝙤🅳🆃𝓦1.𝓒🄲

As soon as I arrived at the company, I saw Sister Sun from the design department surrounded by several colleagues chatting.

“I’m so envious! The treatment at Jiang Heng Group is the best in Hangzhou!”

“I heard that this time their team building is held in their own five-star resort, which even has a helipad and a golf course.” “

Otherwise, how can they be the richest man? Hey! Sister Sun, your brother can join Jiang Heng Group and is a deputy manager. He belongs to the leadership class. Does he often meet with their president?”

Seeing that several people were looking at her, Sister Sun lifted her hair, and it was hard to tell whether she was proud or humble: “It’s not that easy to meet the president. You can only see him at the annual meeting. Although my brother is a deputy manager, he doesn’t have any dealings with the president at work. After all, there are several layers of leaders above him.”

“I heard that the president of Jiang Heng is very handsome and he is still single.”

At this point, a young girl from the Finance Department raised her hand and said, “I know, he came to our school to give a speech when I was in college. He was really super handsome, tall and handsome.”

“I really want to join Jiang Heng, but it’s a pity that with my IQ and major, I can only guard the gate if I join Jiang Heng. I’m so jealous of those who work at Jiang Heng.”

Who wouldn’t be jealous of the employees who can enter Jiangheng Group? Looking around, the salary and benefits are unmatched by any company in the entire city of Hangzhou.

As a leader, Zhou Qizhen has far surpassed the value created by his father in recent years with his keen insight and decisive decision-making.

Zhao Jia’s workstation is not here. Lu Xiaoqiao walked to her workstation and took out her mobile phone and charger from her bag. She just arrived at her new home yesterday and didn’t know that she had to press a button to power on the power strip. At this moment, her mobile phone only had 5% of its power left.

As soon as she plugged the mobile phone into the power strip, Lin Lin ran in with her 7-centimeter high heels.

“Ah! I was almost late. What a nasty Monday!”

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at the high heels on Lin Lin’s feet: “Next time, don’t wear such high heels. You’re not short.”

“But it makes your legs look longer.” Lin Lin didn’t continue the topic, but glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao’s hands and forearms: “Oh my God! You said it’s not serious, but there are bleeding in some places.”

After that, she took out a tube of ointment from her backpack: “Here, scar removal cream, I brought it back from abroad last time, it’s very useful.”

“Not really! I applied aloe vera gel. I found that my body has upgraded after I met you.”

“Oh! No, what if it leaves a scar?”

Knowing her friend’s good intentions, Lu Xiaoqiao took the ointment with a smile.

Seeing that she accepted it, Lin Lin finally felt relieved. She looked up at the few people in front who were still gossiping: “What are they talking about?”

“Talking about your uncle.”
