After getting out of the elevator and walking on the first floor, as far as I could see, there were all salaried workers in groups of twos and threes. I am a person who cannot stand loneliness. I am even afraid that there will be no one around me even when walking on the road.
I took out my mobile phone from my bag and was about to call Xu Lu when Xu Lu's call came in. I answered the phone and said with a smile: "Luzi."
Xu Lu said: "You answered it so quickly. Is your phone next to you?"
I said, "I was just thinking about calling you, and your call just happened to come in."
Xu Lu also smiled and said: "We are in harmony with each other."
After saying that, we both said at the same time: "What are you doing?"
As soon as these words came out, we both laughed. I said first: "Luzi, I miss you. It's so boring for me to be here. It's just me."
Xu Lu also said feebly: "I'm not the same. It's hard for me to go shopping with you and talk for a while."
After saying that, she suddenly asked: "Hey, is there anyone around you?"
I glanced at the people walking around and replied: "Do you think there is anyone in the mall?"
Xu Lu smacked her mouth, and then said: "I said that around you, if I talk to you like this, can anyone hear me?"
I guessed that Xu Lu must have something to tell me, so I couldn't help but lower my voice and said, "It's okay. Just tell me. What's wrong?"
Xu Lu immediately said: "Zijin, I'm worried to death. Our minister is pestering me. He even suddenly told me just now that today is his daughter's birthday, but he can't go out to see her daughter. He wants to stay here." Give her daughter a birthday and invite me along.”
When I heard this, I immediately stared, frowned and asked, "Why did he invite you to his daughter's birthday?"
Xu Lu said with bitterness and hatred: "Ask me, who should I ask? He asked me to have dinner several times before, but I declined them all for various reasons. Now he has started to play the emotional card again. Who knows what day it will be?" It’s not his daughter’s birthday. Besides, even if what he said is true, what’s the point of me celebrating his daughter’s birthday here with him? I’m not her little mother!
I was teased by Xu Lu so much that I laughed out loud. Xu Lu said seriously on the other end: "Don't laugh, it's serious business."
I was also anxious in my heart, so I quickly put away my smile and said aloud: "Then how did you respond to him?"
Xu Lu said: "I originally wanted to refuse, but he suddenly said, 'Xu Lu, I also want to take this opportunity today to talk to you about the transfer you mentioned last time.' When he said this, I How dare you refuse?"
I frowned and said, "Transfer? Didn't he make it clear that he was deliberately trying to coerce and induce you? You still agreed to it?"
Xu Lu replied: "Don't say he is coercing or tempting. Even if he blatantly said that I was asking for something from him, I had to bite the bullet and agree. But I also kept it in mind. I said I have an appointment today. Friends, if you want to eat, you have to eat together.”
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine.
Gudong swallowed, and I asked tentatively: "Who did you say you made an appointment with?"
I thought silently in my heart, it's best to be Kuang Yiyang, Kuang Yiyang, Xu Lu planned to use Kuang Yiyang as a shield anyway.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Lu suddenly chuckled on the phone and said flatteringly: "Zijin... just say that you are not particular about ethics and you are not loyal to justice, right?"
I suddenly had a bitter look on my face and said in a deep voice: "Sister!"
How could she call me here? I was really impressed by her.
Xu Lu said matter-of-factly: "Our perverted minister has made it clear that he wants to take advantage of me. Can you just watch me go into the tiger's mouth by myself?"
I said: "Then you have the heart to lead me into the tiger's mouth with you?"
Xu Lu said: "Oh, if you don't go to hell, who will..."
"roll!"
"No, no, I mean, as you know, I want to be transferred. Only he has the ability. If I say that I have a boyfriend, then he can't deny it directly to me. So I have to call you out. , This will not only ensure that the old pervert does not dare to do anything, but also make him promise to help me transfer my job. "
Listening to the little Jiujiu in Xu Lu's heart, I secretly lamented that the workplace is really a big mess. In the past, Xu Lu was just like me. She was a very upright woman. Not to mention that her boss was blatantly looking for opportunities to take advantage of her. Even if there was such a sign, We will nip it in the cradle too.
But now... Xu Lu has to weigh the pros and cons, and even compromise.
I originally wanted to tell her not to do this, but then I thought about it. Now I have taken advantage of Luo Xiangdong's shareholder style to rise directly to the top, but Xu Lu is still struggling at the bottom. If I tell her not to do this, she will be standing still. Talking without pain in the back.
So thinking about it, I had to sigh secretly and asked aloud: "When will we have dinner? Where will we meet?"
Xu Lu said: "I knew you would definitely agree and accommodate you. The restaurant is set to be near your company. It's the Sichuan restaurant we went to eat last time. Tonight, it's half past seven."
I responded and said, "Then I'll go back to the apartment first, and then go directly to the hotel. Did you book a private room or outside?"
Xu Lu said: "Private room, just say that Miss Xu booked it. By the way, Zijin, I have to remind you that at the dinner table, don't mention my boyfriend for the time being. I'm afraid of annoying our minister, so the transfer will be Yellow."
I replied helplessly: "Don't worry, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, I walked toward the apartment. I wanted to call Xu Lu to express my recent sorrow, but I didn’t expect that after hearing her story, I became even more worried.
When I returned to the apartment, I took a shower and changed my clothes. Seeing that I still had some time, I put on makeup. After everything was packed, I went out and took a taxi to the hotel.
I was the first one to arrive, and the clerk led me into the private room. Neither Xu Lu nor her minister, whose name I only heard but not her person, arrived. I sat on a chair, took out my mobile phone and sent a text message to Xu Lu. Ask her when she will arrive.
As soon as the text message was sent, the door was pushed open from the outside. I looked up and saw that the first person to come in was Xu Lu, followed closely by a middle-aged man wearing a formal suit and tie.
Xu Lu told me that he was nearly forty years old, but he looked a little younger than his actual age, as if he was thirty-four or five years old.
I quickly stood up, and Xu Lu said to me with a smile: "Zijin, you are here."
I smiled and said, "Yes, this is your minister, right?"
Xu Lu was wearing professional attire, with a small brown sweater on her upper body, a professional skirt on her lower body, and a pair of five-centimeter high heels. She stood between me and the strange man, smiled and introduced: "Zijin, this is our Minister Zhou."
"Minister Zhou, this is my roommate in college, Liang Zijin."
I reached out my hand and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Minister Zhou."
The man shook my hand and responded with a smile: "Zhou Mingkang, it's our first time meeting you."
I nodded, and Zhou Mingkang looked at me and said, "All the friends of beauties are indeed beauties."
When we first met, I was glib. I glanced at Xu Lu without any trace, and Xu Lu gave me a meaningful look in return. We both understood each other tacitly and sat down separately.
After Zhou Mingkang sat down, he looked sideways at me and said, "Miss Liang, I heard that you and Lulu have made an appointment for a long time. Are you unhappy that I came here uninvited?"
Lulu
I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body.
But I saw Xu Lu smiling slightly awkwardly, holding a teapot to pour tea for me and Zhou Mingkang.
I suppressed the discomfort and replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is out of town. It's not too late for us to be happy that you can come and have dinner with us."
When Zhou Mingkang heard this, he immediately laughed and praised me for being able to speak.
I thought to myself, if it weren't for Xu Lu, I wouldn't bother to deal with this kind of person.
The clerk came in with the order book to order. Zhou Mingkang said to me and Xu Lu: "Zijin, Lulu, you can order whatever you want, and I'll treat you to this meal."
Xu Lu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't be polite. I agreed to treat you on the way here."
Zhou Mingkang said: "There is no reason to let two children treat us. Besides, there are only three of us, and there is no way to ask the lady to pay the bill."
Xu Lu said: "Today is your daughter's birthday. I can't send her birthday wishes in person. As a sister, I treat her father to have a meal. It can be regarded as a token of your gratitude."
Zhou Mingkang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have this heart. If I say I'm going to ask, I'm going to ask. Don't push me around. Let Zijin see the joke."
We met less than three minutes ago, and we started calling each other out one after another. I don’t know how long we have known each other, and how familiar we are.
This kind of person is absolutely unacceptable.
I secretly figured out in my heart that this Zhou Mingkang was so "**" in front of me, not to mention how he treated Xu Lu in private. I had to find a way to make him afraid, but not to break up or get hurt. Be nice, otherwise Xu Lu's transfer will be far away.
The three of us ordered two dry pot dishes, as well as big dishes like fish head with chopped peppers. Zhou Mingkang said everything was fine and he insisted on ordering eight dishes. Xu Lu and I said no, but he insisted on adding a few more dishes.
The waiter took note of the dishes and asked if he wanted drinks.
Zhou Mingkang looked at me and Xu Lu and asked, "What are you two little girls drinking?"
Xu Lu glanced at me and I said, "I can do anything. Just look at you two."
Xu Lu looked at Zhou Mingkang and said, "Minister Zhou, look at you, today is your daughter's birthday. We mainly spend time with you. We can drink whatever you want."
Zhou Mingkang asked with a faint smile: "Then let's have a drink. I know Lulu's drinking capacity. How about Zijin?"
I smiled restrainedly and replied aloud: "I have an average drinking capacity." The amount of liquor is just over a kilogram, I made up for it in my mind.
Xu Lu glanced at me and knew that I was deliberately conserving my strength and not telling the truth.
When Zhou Mingkang heard that my drinking capacity was average, he seemed very happy for some reason. He repeatedly asked the waiter to open a bottle of Baiyunbian worth several hundred yuan, and ordered two dozen more beers.
I smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you want so much wine, can the three of us drink it all?"
Zhou Mingkang smiled and replied: "It's okay. If you drink too much, I will take you two back. It's rare that you are with me today. I am happy in my heart."
I smiled silently and made eye contact with Xu Lu from time to time.
I'm afraid Xu Lu has been with this old fox for a long time. Whether she speaks or acts, she is much more tactful than I imagined. There was even a time during which Zhou Mingkang blatantly made fun of her, saying that she understood him best, like the roundworm in his belly. With such suggestive words, Xu Lu not only did not change her face, but instead smiled happily and said: "You always say that I understand you, but why don't you know what I'm thinking?"
These words made me think that Xu Lu was hinting at Zhou Mingkang.
