Chapter 69: If It's Such a Girl

"It would be better to drink some water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Later, Zhu Maolin brought Xiaolu back to the company, and he received a cup of water from tea and sent it to Xiaolu. The two of them were sitting in the office at this time.

"Thank you. Xiaolu nodded, stretched out her hands and took the paper cup. It's lukewarm, and it doesn't feel hot at all, and in such a winter, it doesn't feel cold.

Because it is near the downstairs of the advertising company, Zhu Maolin simply suggested that Xiaolu should come back here to rest if he didn't mind...... Along the way, there was nothing more to say.

Xiaolu seemed to be a little stunned, her lips were a little pale, and her heart palpitated, she looked at Zhu Maolin, "That...... Manager, don't you ask me about it?"

Zhu Maolin said indifferently: "I said, I won't get involved in your affairs too much." I'm helping you today, mostly because you made a good film for me...... So, your private affairs are your private affairs. ā€

Xiaolu lowered her head and silently took a sip of warm water. She looked at the water circle shaking from the paper cup and said quietly, "I understand...... It's pretty much the same if you change it. Who wants to be involved with those people like me...... Get along. Everyone is more afraid of trouble. ā€

"It's good to know. Zhu Maolin nodded.

Xiaolu suddenly raised her head and said gratefully, "But...... But even so, thank you today. Manager Zhu, if it weren't for you today, I really don't know what to do...... How is it good. ā€

Sadness and tears, this should be a face that can especially arouse men's desire for protection...... This kind of weak and helpless derivation does not seem like it is pretended.

Zhu Maolin frowned.

What should I say - I only finished filming a day ago, so I knew each other, but the next day I encountered this kind of thing - such a coincidence is a bit unbelievable for Zhu Maolin. He would have tried to dissuade the man just now, that is, he was in the mood for the idea that there might really be such a coincidence.

"On the street, he doesn't dare to do anything to you. Zhu Maolin shook his head: "I also said just now, even if it wasn't me, there would be people willing to help." Sooner or later...... If there's nothing to do, you'll be able to go back by yourself when you've rested enough. Think about how to face those people in the future. However, I can suggest that most of these debt collection methods are not good, and you can choose to seek help from the police. ā€

"It's useless, those people!" Xiaolu shook her head vigorously.

"Have you tried?" asked Zhu Maolin rhetorically.

Xiaolu was silent.

Zhu Maolin suddenly said: "There is still something to eat in the refrigerator in the pantry, if you are hungry, you can use the microwave to heat it up." Just rest here for a while, just be careful not to touch things, I still have to work. ā€

didn't give Xiaolu more room to talk, Zhu Maolin walked back to his office directly, leaving Xiaolu in the empty outside office.

Because the customer's film was completed, the employees who finally didn't have to rush to work were able to leave early today - so when Zhu Maolin came back with Xiaolu, there was no one here.

Quietly, only the slight tapping of the keyboard came from inside the manager's office. From the gap in the blinds that had not been tightened, Xiaolu could see that Zhu Maolin had obviously entered work mode, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.

"I really don't have any resentment...... Xiaolu frowned.

Then, the ability of the dream of the past cannot be activated...... Perhaps, as Dazhe said, his judgment of Zhu Maolin is too rash.

However, if the plan is revised and all the information of the financier is thoroughly investigated from now on, it is obviously not in line with her efficient work model...... In that case, as Xiaolu, it is better to pierce the thick wall built by the other party's ungrateful work.

The water was warm just now, but now it's getting cold...... It's as if people's hearts are getting cooler.

Xiaolu opened the door of the office on this floor and walked out alone. Zhu Maolin heard the sound of the door closing outside at this time, and after looking up and realizing that there was no one in the office outside, he continued to look at the screen without any expression.

He himself didn't know how much time had passed.

In a company where no one is around, it seems that he won't stop unless there is something else to disturb him...... Until, once again, he heard movement from the office outside.

Somebody was knocking on the glass door outside.

Zhu Maolin frowned, walked all the way out, and found that the person outside the glass door was the Xiaolu who had clearly been away for some time.

"Why are you back?" Zhu Maolin opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Did you forget to take something?"

Xiaolu smiled slightly at this time, "Manager, you are really still working overtime! Are you hungry? You helped me just now, at least let me repay you...... Please have something to eat!"

Zhu Maolin was stunned, but saw Xiaolu take out a bowl of convenience store bag in his hand at this time... Instant noodles.

He opened his mouth slightly, and for the first time he had seen someone ask for something like this in return...... Zhu Maolin sneered.

Xiaolu said with a look of annoyance: "That...... Actually, I don't have a lot of money. Also, I couldn't find anything else to eat nearby because it was too late. ā€

Too late.

Zhu Maolin subconsciously glanced at the time...... It's almost twelve o'clock, and there is really nothing to eat in the area where there are office buildings in the vicinity - again...... Have you unconsciously reached this point again?

"But, don't underestimate it!" Xiaolu hurriedly said at this time: "Even if it's instant noodles, as long as you put a little effort into it, you can make it delicious...... I'll borrow that from the pantry!"

Xiaolu took the bag, lowered her head, walked past Zhu Maolin, and walked quickly into the pantry. Zhu Maolin frowned and followed.

"Don't use it. He looked at Xiaolu, "I said that even if I don't help, someone else will step up." You don't have to do that. ā€

"Soon!" Xiaolu turned around, her eyes full of hope, "Really soon......"

This look of uneasiness and guilt seems to come from the heart...... No, it's something that you can only have from the heart.

...... Is it me, thinking too much?

Zhu Maolin was silent for a while, then nodded, "You'll leave after eating, right?"

Xiaolu nodded seriously.

"That's up to you. Zhu Maolin nodded.

Xiaolu smiled and began to tinker with the instant noodles she bought. She took out the spices, poured in hot water, covered them tightly, and then put them all on the lid, which was considered ...... Heating?

Then she took the mustard and sausages out of the bag, and used the fruit knife she found in the pantry to chop the mustard into finer, and then stirred them with the heated seasoning. Next, proceed to cut the sausage into thin slices.

A saucer is a glass plate used to hold fruits. Xiaolu drained the water of the soaked noodles, then mixed the sauce mixed with mustard and spices into the noodles, and finally let the ham slices lay in a circle on top.

She held the finished noodles in front of Zhu Maolin with both hands, but she looked cautious, "But, you can eat it." ā€

"Why is it so troublesome?" Zhu Maolin asked with some puzzlement as he looked at Xiaolu's results.

For him, who pursues work efficiency and time, such behavior is really a waste of time...... In fact, it tastes no different from eating these things together.

But Xiaolu still took out a bottle of orange juice and apple juice at this time, mixed them together, and found some ice cubes from the refrigerator and put them in, and also sent them to Zhu Maolin, and said with a smile: "This is what I learned when I was working in a restaurant in the past, and I drink them together, and it tastes good...... Of course, it's not as delicious as the freshly squeezed ones, but it's okay. ā€

"You haven't answered my question yet. ā€

Xiaolu's eyes lowered, as if she couldn't meet Zhu Maolin's gaze, and said in a low voice: "What do you say...... It's just that sometimes I feel that even if I eat alone, I can't treat myself too badly. Even if it's a simple instant noodle or something like that, if you put some effort into making it for yourself, you'll be happy...... It's called enjoying life!"

"Really?" Zhu Maolin nodded...... There are also such people, and in life, many people will think like this, which seems to be normal.

"Actually......" Xiaolu was a little embarrassed and scratched her earlobe, "It's because I eat this kind of thing almost every day, and if I don't change my way, I can't even eat it myself." What I just said was so beautiful that I couldn't take it anymore. Does it taste okay?"

Zhu Maolin had already started eating, and he didn't chew it carefully, nor did he gobble it up, but it was just a very efficient way to eat, and he said indifferently: "The taste is no different." ā€

"Ah......h

Zhu Maolin said coldly: "But the appearance can add a few points, it's okay." ā€

"Really!"

It's as if it's easy to be satisfied...... It's just such a simple sentence of agreement. Zhu Maolin was stunned, he was mixed in the advertising circle, as if he had never met such a simple-minded little model...... Especially, it was a thought that popped into his mind.

"Why do you eat this kind of thing often?" Zhu Maolin suddenly asked, "It stands to reason that you can also take on a job and not be unable to afford to eat." Didn't I pay you back yesterday?"

Xiaolu shook her head, silently cleaning up the garbage after fiddling with this bowl of instant noodles. Zhu Maolin did not continue to ask.

"I'm done. He finally put the plate down.

"Ah, okay. Xiaolu hurriedly said: "After I wash these up, I'll leave immediately!"

"Hmm. Zhu Maolin nodded, and returned to his office.

Soon after, the light in the pantry was turned off, and Xiaolu quietly left. Zhu Maolin didn't care, and worked for more than an hour.

The fatigue of his body was already reminding him that it was time to rest...... Time to get home.

He sighed and cleaned up everything here. Before leaving, I subconsciously walked into the pantry and turned on the light to take a look...... This place has been kept exceptionally clean, even the floor, as if it has been wiped clean.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. ā€

He shook his head and left the company.

She...... Probably asleep by this time, right?

......

The light of the headlights swept over the bus stop on the road, and it was found that there were still people in front of the bus stop at this point...... Running in small steps around the bus stop, then jumping, occasionally rubbing his hands together and breathing towards his palms.

"Why are you still here?"

Zhu Maolin had to stop the car...... He ran into the girl again.

"I'm waiting for ...... bus"

"There's no car at this point. Zhu Maolin shook his head.

"That'...... Are there any other bus stops nearby?" Xiaolu hurriedly asked, "I'm not familiar with this place, so I can't find the way." ā€

"It's just around the corner. Zhu Maolin shook his head, "Why don't you call a taxi." ā€

"That's right......" Xiaolu nodded, "I see." Manager Nazhu, you go back first, I'm fine. Look, the convenience store across the street is still open!"

"Well, be careful, then. Zhu Maolin let go of the car's handbrake again and drove the car out.

He looked at Xiaolu from the rearview mirror and found that she was just rubbing her hands at this time, so he sat down, and didn't take out the phone immediately, just sat like this.

He reversed the car...... It's too late, and some of the rules are okay if you don't follow them a little.

"Ah...... Manager Zhu, why are you back?" asked Xiaolu as she opened her eyes curiously.

In winter, her face was already a little pale.

Zhu Maolin frowned, and suddenly asked, "Could you be...... I'm going to wait here until early in the morning, didn't I just tell you to call a taxi?"

"I'll shout, I'll shout later. There's no way I'm going to stay here overnight!" Xiaolu smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. ā€

"Okay, then you want to shout. Zhu Maolin nodded.

Xiaolu took out her mobile phone, but saw that Zhu Maolin had no intention of leaving, and finally she had to say weakly: "I'm sorry, I really plan to wait here, because it won't be long, just a few hours." And then...... Then a taxi is too expensive. ā€

The car door opened suddenly, and Zhu Maolin could only be heard saying in a rather helpless tone: "You get in the car, where do you live, I'll send you back." ā€

"But ......"

"Speed, don't waste time. ā€

Xiaolu hesitated for a moment before saying, "That'...... Then you wait a minute!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran to the convenience store in front, and after a while, she ran back panting, then got into the car and delivered a bottle of hot milk to Zhu Maolin, "Manager, you drink this, it's not good to drink coffee and tea so late." ā€

But she didn't buy her own points, and Zhu Maolin guessed that she might be reluctant to buy her own.

Obviously, it was already cold when I was waiting for the bus.

"Really, is there a lot of money missing?" Zhu Maolin asked coldly.

Xiaolu lowered her head and didn't answer: "You just send me to the station where there is a night bus at this point in front, you don't have to send me home......"

"Oh. Zhu Maolin nodded.

The car drove slowly.

Not long after, Zhu Maolin said indifferently: "The film you filmed, the customer also bought it." However, it should not be broadcast in prime time. If it works, I'll recommend you to sign an exclusive contract with this company at that time. ā€

"Really!"

It was so quiet that only the grinding of wheels and asphalt on the road outside could be heard in the carriage, when a sound broke the silence.

Is there such a girl...... Silt without staining.

Zhu Maolin smiled slightly.

On the road that I was used to at night, it didn't seem to be the same as before...... It feels like it's too long.

This...... Feel.
