Because of the weekend, Lu Qianning didn't have to go to the company, so she slept until almost noon when she was woken up by Zhang Yueliang's phone call.

I made an appointment with her to go to the hospital to see Zhang Xinlan in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qianning lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He couldn't remember what happened last night?

I just remember that the two cocktails were grape and grapefruit-flavored, sour, sweet and slightly spicy, and tasted good.

"Hiss—" She sat up suddenly, her face wrinkled into a bun because of the pain in her waist and legs, and she fell back on the bed.

"Are you awake?" A clear and pleasant voice came.

Lu Qianning turned around and saw Zhou Beijing stuck in the couch, holding a notebook in his hand and not knowing what he was dealing with, and his big, jointed palms were flying quickly on the keyboard.

After being stunned for a few seconds, she got up from the bed, enduring the pain in her body and said, "Mr. Zhou, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, I ordered takeout and it will be delivered later." Zhou Beijing stood up, put down his notebook, and looked at her condescendingly, "This is not a company."

That phrase "Mr. Zhou" is really harsh.

Lu Qianning was silent for a few seconds, took a set of clothes and went to the bathroom to change into, without giving him a response.

Although what Hua Yunran said yesterday was unpleasant, I have to admit that it still makes sense.

The status difference between her and Zhou Beijing was too great, and it would be better to have less wishful thinking.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and she said to Zhou Beijing, "Maybe it's takeout. I'll go get it now."

Then he went downstairs and opened the door. Outside the door, Lu Kangkang took off his mask and smiled innocently, "Sister, is Mr. Zhou at your house?"

Lu Qianning saw Zhou Beijing's name and phone number written on the takeout order and responded, "Well, is this your new job?"

"Well!" Lu Kangkang glanced into the room and whispered, "I won't go in, so as not to embarrass you. I will grab the order as soon as I see your address!"

Lu Qianning took the takeaway, looked at Lu Kangkang's white sleeves and sweating profusely, and frowned, "Wait a moment."

She turned around and went into the house and took out two bottles of ice-cold drinks. "Be careful of heat stroke. Take it with you to drink on the road. Although this job is hard, the pay is not low. Work hard for two years to save money and start a small business."

"Yes, I think so too!" Lu Kangkang nodded, and suddenly noticed that Lu Qianning's face was not very good, so he asked with concern, "Sister, your face is not very good, and your eyes are still a little red and swollen, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I didn't get enough rest." Lu Qianning's eyes were indeed a little uncomfortable. When he washed his face, he saw that his eyelids were swollen. He didn't know what he did after getting drunk last night.

Lu Kangkang didn't know what he was thinking of. He hesitated for a while and whispered, "No one will bully you, right?"

"No." Although Lu Qianning and Lu Kangkang hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they had only met each other a handful of times, his eyes showed concern every time.

Lu Qianning was still very pleased, "Okay, let's get to work."

"Hey!" Lu Kangkang responded, turned around and left. There were two more orders he was eager to deliver.

Lu Qianning watched him leave on his electric scooter, turned around and went into the house to take out the sumptuous breakfast and put it on the table. Just when Zhou Beijing came down, she said without raising her eyes, "Wash your hands and eat."

Zhou Beijing went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and then sat down next to her.

Two portions of salty soy milk, a few fennel fried dough sticks and tea eggs, as well as crab roe buns and sugar sesame cakes, there are many varieties.

After all, Lu Qianning was tired from the whole night last night and was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. He was worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat.

"Are you waiting to go to the company?" Lu Qianning asked while eating, "There is a meeting to be held at two o'clock in the afternoon."

What she meant was: should Zhou Beijing leave when he is full or should he wait until the afternoon?

"I'll take you to the hospital in the afternoon, and then I'll go to the company. I'll pick you up at the hospital in the evening. I have a social event."

Zhou Beijing paused and asked, "Do you have any relatives in the hospital?"

"Yeah." Lu Qianning didn't mean to say more, after all, she felt guilty.

But Zhou Beijing couldn't bear it and asked, "Who is in the hospital? Is he seriously ill? Why have I never heard of you?"

Lu Qianning paused while eating, stuffed the crab roe bun into his mouth and chewed it slowly. After chewing, he said, "Cancer."

Zhou Beijing was slightly stunned by these two words and stopped asking. He suddenly thought of how she cried last night.

After eating, Lu Qianning got up and put the rest in the refrigerator. It was almost twelve o'clock when the table was cleared. It looked like there was no need for lunch, so he changed into a set of casual and clean clothes and got ready to go out.

On the way, Zhou Beijing stopped at a fruit shop and bought some imported fruits. He stopped by a shopping mall and bought two boxes of nutritional supplements.

When she got off the bus at the entrance of the hospital, Lu Qianning realized that those things were bought by Zhou Beijing for Zhang Xinlan.

"Mr. Zhou, this...is not appropriate." She hesitated and did not take it.

Zhou Beijing frowned coldly and placed the fruit basket and nutritional supplements in front of her, "What's inappropriate? Even if your boss knows that your family member is sick, he should buy some condolence gifts, not to mention the relationship between you and me now?"

What is their relationship now?

Lu Qianning remained silent. The alienation emanating from her was so strong that it was difficult for Zhou Beijing not to notice it.

I guess it was the same words Hua Yunran said last night.

He took a deep breath and couldn't help but soften his tone, "Lu Qianning, you don't have to keep your distance from me, and you can't keep it either."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the car, started the engine and drove away.

His car gradually disappeared from Lu Qianning's sight. She looked away and sighed softly. She had to keep it even if she couldn't. After all... it's easy to pull away but hard to keep in mind!

She entered the ward carrying fruits and nutritional supplements. Zhang Yueliang had already arrived and was surprised to see what she had in her hand.

Zhang Xinlan was stunned for a few seconds, then said with joy on her face, "Did the boy Mom introduced you buy it? Is he here? Where is he?"

As she spoke, she poked her head toward the door.

In the past, Lu Qianning would buy some bulk fruits when he came here. Such fruit baskets were very expensive, so Zhang Xinlan immediately guessed that Lu Qianning did not buy them.

She thought it was from Wu Senhuai.

Lu Qianning was thinking about whether Zhang Xinlan would think too much about it as a gift from her boss, but Zhang Xinlan's words gave her an excuse.

"He passed by and bought these things. No one came up. After all, it's not sure that it's related."

Zhang Xinlan was very disappointed and glared at Lu Qianning, "Such a good young man, so sensible, why can't you confirm the relationship? I heard from his mother two days ago that the two of you went to Lianshan together, and he still did it because of you

injured?"

"Well, I just happened to deal with some work, and the injury... was an accident." Lu Qianning put down the fruit basket and nutritional supplements. Seeing that Zhang Xinlan was going to have an in-depth discussion with Wu Senhuai on the line, she changed the topic.

"Has the moon been doing well at work recently?"

Zhang Yueliang is an expert at answering conversations and immediately said, "It's not bad, and I was promoted to a full-time position in advance and transferred to the secretarial office on the top floor!"

She looked very happy, "My salary has been increased by 2,000 yuan!"

Lu Qianning frowned and asked, "Secretary's office? What kind of work are you responsible for?"

"The details are still unclear. The order was issued at midnight last night. I just saw the notice this morning. I will report to the Secretary's Office next Monday."

Zhang Yueliang hesitated and asked, "The secretary is not in my major and I really don't understand this. Sister, do you have any suggestions?"

Lu Qianning was silent for a moment and said, "When you first went, it should be some trivial matters, such as pouring tea and printing information. The company's confidential documents are generally not disclosed to you, and it will take at least half a year before you can contact the company.

Don’t be too nervous about the core stuff.”

Zhang Xinlan nodded hurriedly, "Listen to your sister about this kind of thing. She is someone who has been through it after all. Yue Yue, you must live up to your expectations and learn more from your sister."

"I know, Mom!" Zhang Yueliang agreed readily. The two of them coaxed Zhang Xinlan around with their words, completely forgetting to ask about Wu Senhuai.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the evening that Lu Qianning received a call from Zhou Beijing, saying that he had arrived at the hospital.

"Mom, I have some things to do tonight, so I'm going home. I'll see you another day." She took her bag and walked out.

Zhang Yueliang escorted her out, and as soon as she entered the elevator, she asked in a low voice, "Sister, isn't the person delivering the fruit basket Wu Senhuai? Is he Mr. Zhou?"

Lu Qianning looked at her in surprise, "I can't hide it from you."

"Of course, I have a sharp eye, but...he sent a fruit basket to our mother in a good way? Does he know about our mother's illness? He has no doubt...that you are his wife?"

This kind of thing can be said to be a coincidence, but Zhang Yueliang and Lu Qianning were as guilty, so they couldn't help but worry.

Lu Qianning shook his head, "I have no doubt."

After all, she didn't say who was sick.

"After you go to the Secretary's Office, you should be able to see Hua Yufeng every day, so be careful."

Zhang Yueliang nodded quickly, "Don't worry, sister, I know it in my heart. If it doesn't work, I will resign."

No matter what, as long as she embarrasses Lu Qianning or receives any threats while under Hua Yufeng, she will resign immediately.

Zhang Yueliang escorted Lu Qianning out of the elevator, and Lu Qianning let her go back. When she left the hospital door, she saw the car on the roadside.

Zhou Beijing got out of the car and waited for her. He leaned against the car door lazily and held a cigarette between his fingers. When he saw her coming, he took a deep breath and quickly put out the cigarette.

Throwing it into the trash can, he opened the passenger door for her and said, "Get in the car."

He dropped the two words and walked around to the driver's seat, acting as if he was the driver.

Lu Qianning's legs were extremely weak, so she didn't argue with him, climbed into the car and fastened her seat belt, "Where are you going?"

"Hua Yunran is going to the hotel for her birthday. After the dinner, she will probably go to D.V. It will be very late." Zhou Beijing explained, started the engine and drove into the traffic, stopping halfway to buy some food for her.

Lu Qianning hesitated before taking it. She was not qualified to serve this kind of meal. If she didn't fill her stomach, she would be hungry.

Everything she ate was according to her taste, such as durian cakes and the like. The taste in the carriage was very good to her, but it was hard to describe for Zhou Beijing.

But he frowned and persisted until he reached his destination. He took Lu Qianning to buy a set of fairly formal clothes at a nearby shopping mall, and then went straight to the hotel.

On the way, Zhou Beijing answered the phone. Grandma Zhou's voice on the other end was very angry. Lu Qianning couldn't hear it clearly, but Zhou Beijing's face became darker and darker, and he hung up before saying a few words.

Got the phone call.

Hua Yunran's birthday party was not extravagant, it was just like a family banquet. Several rooms were booked in the hotel, and several well-connected aristocratic families were invited, as well as some of Hua Yunran's friends.
