186 You are a grown man, don’t cry (second update)
While I was thinking about it, the office phone on the desk rang. Although there is caller ID on the office phone, Lin Chu has never been able to see it clearly. The gray electronic numbers are like a grid, and they are dazzling when they are strung together.
Lin Chu only took a rough look and didn't recognize who it was, so he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Linyi."
"Have you received the stuff?" It was Lu Zhenghang's voice.
Lin Chu's face sank, feeling extremely disgusted, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked, "Who are you?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and a chuckle came from the ear. Other women, such as Zhu Hexuan, might find it pleasant, but Lin Chu just felt nauseous, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
She has never met Lu Zhenting, but since Lu Zhenghang is Lu Zhenting's son, he must look like him. Thinking that Lu Zhenting might have seduced Jiang Changdai like this back then, she wanted to vomit even more.
This feeling materialized, and Lin Chu covered her mouth, feeling like she was about to vomit.
I heard Lu Zhenghang say slightly sarcastically on the phone: "I am Lu Zhenghang."
Lin Chu suppressed the nausea in his chest and asked coldly, "Is something wrong?"
"I know today is your birthday, so I specially prepared a birthday gift for you. Did you receive it?" Lu Zhenghang said maliciously.
Lin Chu glanced at the carton on the table coldly. Zheng Yuntong was afraid that someone would come back, so he quickly found an opaque bag and put the carton in. After thinking about it, he called Xu Moyan there.
After much deliberation, I decided that Xu Moyan was trustworthy and no one would be suspicious if I left it to her.
Lin Chu looked away and pretended to be stupid and said: "What gift? I didn't receive it. Mr. Lu, don't waste the money. Even if you really give it to me, you won't accept it."
Lu Zhenghang snorted, "I just saw the logistics information saying that it has been signed for."
"Oh, maybe it was delivered by mistake, or maybe you entered the receipt information before it was delivered. Courier companies often do this." Lin Chu said in a nonchalant tone, "If it was delivered to me, I would refuse to sign. If it’s not delivered, it’s lost. Goodbye.”
"Wait!" Lu Zhenghang shouted, and then asked suspiciously, "It's really not delivered?"
"It's really not delivered." Lin Chu said coldly, "I don't care about anything you give me. I don't know what you want, but I don't want to contact you, and there is no possibility of becoming friends with you, so Mr. Lu, it’s better not to bother me.”
"You don't know what I want? How could you not know?" Lu Zhenghang chuckled, "Didn't I make it clear to you that day at your door? If you don't receive the item, then I will tell you the same thing. I gave you a man's thing, customized according to my proportions. If Yan Beicheng can't satisfy you, just try it with that one, experience how good I am, and then find a real person in the future. The more you use it, the more you feel good about dating. "
Lin Chu didn't expect that it was actually made with Lu Zhenghang's stuff according to the exact proportions. He was disgusted! Is it possible to take pictures of his things and send them to the store to order them
"Haha, if that's the case, then I really want to call the courier to find out where the express package has been sent. Why do I have to come back and hang it online so that everyone can see your things, Mr. Lu?" Lin Chu said coldly. , and hung up the phone.
"Is it really sent by Lu Zhenghang?" Zheng Yuntong asked.
Lin Chu nodded, and when no one came, he sneered and whispered, "He told me that he had it made to order according to his."
When Zheng Yuntong heard this, his face turned green and he almost vomited out the lunch he had just eaten. "Is he disgusting? You... just know for yourself. Don't tell me. It's so disgusting that I'm going to vomit from my lunch." Out."
Lin Chu was quite disgusted at first, but when he saw Zheng Yuntong's reaction, he couldn't help laughing.
"My fault." Lin Chu said with a smile.
Zheng Yuntong rolled his eyes at her, gloating about his misfortune. He didn't admit his mistake. He was led astray by the Yan family!
"I just called Mo Yan, she will come over right now." Zheng Yuntong said that Xu Moyan often has to meet with clients and so on, so he can come out just by saying hello to his colleagues, and he has relatively free time during work hours. "We will hand over the things later. Her, let her handle it.”
Lin Chu rolled his eyes and thought of a bad idea, "I have a way."
Zheng Yuntong saw the hurt look on Lin Chu's face and came over with a bad smile on her face. Lin Chu whispered a few words in her ear.
The more Zheng Yuntong listened, the brighter his eyes became. Finally, he nodded vigorously a few times and extended his thumb towards Lin Chu.
After lunch break, half an hour after they started working, Xu Moyan called and said that she was already downstairs in their company.
Lin Chu carried the bag and went downstairs with Zheng Yuntong. He handed the bag to Xu Moyan. Lin Chu told him: "Don't throw it away when you go back. Keep it at home first."
After that, he whispered his plan again.
Xu Moyan's eyes brightened, and she gestured "OK" to Lin Chu, "Don't worry, I'll go home first and leave this at home."
She would be embarrassed to carry her carelessly into the company.
Lin Chu smiled and hugged her, "Thank you, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it."
"Why are you so polite?" Xu Moyan said with a grin, waved to them, then turned around and left.
Just as Xu Moyan turned around, Wei Zilin's car drove over from the opposite direction and drove into the underground parking lot. On the way, he saw Lin Chu and Zheng Yuntong handing Xu Moyan a bag of things. He had never met Xu Moyan seriously. He had only seen Xu Moyan come to Lin Chu a few times. He knew he was Lin Chu's friend, so he recognized him.
Without thinking much at the moment, he drove away.
…
Dai Huimin took the subway twice and returned to the small restaurant. When she walked to the door, she saw a young girl dressed smartly, carrying a big commuter bag, standing at the door of her restaurant, looking up at the sign above: Lao Xu Private dishes.
It was Xu Jiaojiao who came up with the name, saying that nowadays private dishes sound much more high-end than ordinary small fry shops.
It was neither late nor late, so it was not lunch time. Dai Huimin wondered if she wanted to come in for dinner because she was worried that they would not do business
So with a friendly smile, she walked over and said, "Girl, do you want to eat? Come in if you have nothing to do. My house is open anytime."
Zhu Hexuan looked at Dai Huimin without any trace, "Are you the boss's wife?"
"It's run by my family. It's a small business. It's not easy to call me the boss lady." Dai Huimin said, taking Zhu Hexuan into the store and pointing to the wall opposite, "The dishes are all there. If there is anything you want to eat that is not on the menu, you can also You can tell me, I’ll see if my family can do it.”
Zhu Hexuan was not hungry, and she didn't want to eat in this small restaurant. She didn't have any appetite, so she said casually: "I passed by this restaurant before and didn't see it. Is it just opened?"
"Hey, girl, you haven't passed by here for a long time, right? It opened years ago, so it's been almost a year." Dai Huimin said with a smile.
Zhu Hexuan's smile froze slightly, then she laughed twice.
Xu Jiaojiao was sitting at the cashier counter, counting the morning's profits. She looked up at Zhu Hexuan and felt that she looked familiar.
"This is opened by your family, right? Even though the restaurant is small, I know it's not easy to open a business in City B. This small shop also requires a lot of money." Zhu Hexuan said with a smile.
Having been a reporter for a long time, I have dealt with all kinds of people, from farmers, migrant workers, poor households in the mountains to successful people on the rich list. I have a different set of expressions when facing different people.
At this time, the smile is sincere and friendly, and it is really easy to attract people to talk.
But Dai Huimin was taught the truth by Lin Chu, and she became distracted. Although Zhu Hexuan smiled kindly, she immediately thought of Lu Weining. When she first approached her, her smile was more harmless than Zhu Hexuan's.
Moreover, Zhu Hexuan didn't order any food after she arrived, nor did she have any intention of eating. She kept asking about their homes.
If there is no Lin Chu, just ask around. Their family now spends all their money on restaurants. They are very poor, but there is nothing worth worrying about.
But with Lin Chu, she was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to approach her again. In fact, they wanted to use them to make a fuss about Lin Chu.
She was incompetent and felt sorry for Lin Chu. If Lin Chu could help them regardless of these things, she couldn't do anything that would drag Lin Chu down.
She knew she wasn't smart, but stupid people have stupid ways. If you can't play with your own mind, just guard your mouth and simply say nothing.
So Dai Huimin laughed twice and didn't do anything to chase away the customers. She just asked: "It's not easy to do business anywhere. What do you want to eat, girl?"
Xu Jiaojiao took advantage of Zhu Hexuan's back to her and quietly went to the back kitchen to find Xu Dongguo who was cleaning up the kitchen.
"Why did you come in?" Xu Dongguo turned around and asked while washing the pot.
"Dad, please put your work aside first." Xu Jiaojiao said, walking over.
Xu Dongguo put the pot into the sink, washed his hands with soap, and casually wiped two handfuls on his apron. Seeing Xu Jiaojiao activate the shooting function, she handed it to him.
"Dad, there is a reporter outside. He is hiding his identity and trying to trick my mother. I'm afraid she is here for Lin Chu. You come with me and secretly record everything I say to her. The reporter's last words It would be taken out of context. I'm afraid that even if my mother doesn't speak, she will make something up. It's better for me to go over and explain it clearly to her, and let's record it and have evidence. If she speaks according to the facts, then that's it. , but if she reports randomly, we will take this out and we can’t let her use us to make any articles for Lin Chu."
Xu Dongguo's eyes became moist after hearing Xu Jiaojiao's words. He rubbed his eyes randomly a few times with his rough and thick palms, "Jiaojiao, you are really sensible."
Xu Jiaojiao blushed awkwardly, "Dad, what are you doing? I know you still don't believe me, but I have indeed changed. I decided to live my life and work hard on my own. Although Lin Chu's face was cold, But I know she is really kind and sincerely helps us. She helped me, so I naturally want to help her. Besides, she is a good person, and I believe what she says. Anyway, she is my sister, and I don’t believe her. Who do you believe?"
There were more and more tears in Xu Dongguo's eyes. His eyes were slightly cloudy with age and smaller than when he was young, but his eyes were brighter because of the tears.
He kept nodding, "Yes, you are right to think so."
Xu Jiaojiao said helplessly: "Dad, you are a grown man, don't cry!"
"Haha, don't cry, don't cry." Xu Dongguo also laughed awkwardly, grabbing the apron tied around his waist and wiping his eyes, "But how do you know she is a reporter? She didn't say her identity. Are you trying to trick your mother outside?"
Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassment, tugged at the hem of her clothes twice in embarrassment, and then said: "At that time, I just found out that Lin Chu was the daughter that my mother left behind. Didn't I go look for her? That reporter came once They looked for me and gave me a business card. I remember it was called Zhu or something. I was stupid at that time and said some things that might be bad for Lin Chu, but for some reason I didn’t see her listed later. I thought she would come here today."
When Xu Dongguo heard this, he immediately walked out, "What are you waiting for? Come over quickly."
As for the stupid things Xu Jiaojiao did in the past, now that she has changed them, Xu Dongguo doesn't want to bring them up all the time to make his daughter feel embarrassed. He also told Dai Huimin in private not to mention them all the time. If Xu Jiaojiao keeps being this good, it will always hurt her feelings. But with this lesson learned, the couple will always pay attention to Xu Jiaojiao's changes. As long as there are some signs, they must mention them to Xu Jiaojiao's memory.
Xu Jiaojiao went out, and Xu Dongguo secretly went behind the cashier. He turned his back and pressed the red circle for the shooting function. He then put his phone on the wine shelf behind him and blocked it with wine, leaving only the camera exposed. The camera on the back of the phone, and then I sat behind the checkout counter pretending to be busy as if nothing had happened.
