"Forehead."
He had already eaten half of it, so he simply put down his knife and fork, elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with paper, and stared at Jian Jin with a serious look and expression: "What do you think of my performance this afternoon?"
Jian Jin scratched her nose and coughed dryly. She did not directly answer his question, but asked him: "Boss, you don't want to save the country in a roundabout way?"
Who knew that Lu Zhi didn't deny it, but said nonchalantly: "No?"
"Ahem!" Jian Jin didn't expect that she guessed correctly: "No, it's not impossible... But Boss, what you gave to Qiao's father at noon today was green tea... And you gave him 4 cans."
Lu Zhi looked at her in confusion and frowned impatiently: "What's wrong with 4 cans? Isn't the more the better?"
He wanted to give more.
Four cans was the minimum option for him under extremely restrained circumstances.
Jian Jin didn't know how to tell him: "Well, think about the gift you gave, 4 cans of green tea, does it sound like dead green tea?"
She thought about giving two cans this afternoon. Firstly, good things come in pairs, and secondly, the quantity is just right, so people won't feel too much psychological burden when receiving them.
But Lu Zhi insisted on taking two more boxes, and it ended up becoming this embarrassing number.
"I heard that people in Country Z are very averse to the number 4, which is considered unlucky..."
Lu Zhi tilted his head, finally realizing that he had sent the wrong thing, and pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Why didn't you say so earlier."
Jian Jin was so upset by his question that she was about to explain herself to him.
at this time.
Her cell phone rang.
Jian Jin took out her cell phone and looked down. When she saw Qiao Nian's name on the caller ID, her expression changed slightly. She quickly turned around and hung up the phone.
Lu Zhi noticed her reaction and the small action of hanging up the phone, raised his chin slightly and asked her: "Who's calling?"
Jian Jin turned around and looked back: "Uh, a friend..."
Lu Zhi stared at her anxiously, as if he could see through her lies, and asked slowly, "Why didn't you answer it?"
"…" Jian Jin's scalp was numb at his question. When Qiao called her before, his tone was like he was coming to accuse her. How could she answer the phone? She was just afraid that Qiao would beat her up!
Jian Jin could only think about it in her heart. Facing Lu Zhi, she couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a while: "It's not important for her to come to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
The two sounds seemed to hit Jian Jin's heart.
Jian Jin's heartbeat quickened. She didn't dare to look Lu Zhi in the eye and ran to the door in panic: "I'll go see who it is. It must be the hotel waiter. I'll tell them that we don't need any service for the time being."
She ran so fast that she didn't notice Lu Zhi's suddenly tense back and stiff fingers. It was obvious that she had guessed who the visitor was.
**
Outside the door.
Qiao Nian, wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie on his head, stood outside with an expressionless face waiting for the person inside to open the door.
She didn't even continue knocking.
As if he was sure that the person inside heard the knock on the door.
It turned out that she was right.
A minute later, Jian Jin hurriedly opened the door and saw her. Her expression became unpredictable, anxious and embarrassed: "Qiao, why did you come here directly?"
Qiao Nian shook her phone: "I called you, but you didn't answer."
"because… "
Jian Jin stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Qiao Nian didn't embarrass her and looked inside: "Where's Lu Zhi? He must be inside."
