Chapter 126: Proclamation of Sovereignty
Lao Cao, as usual, was still smiling. I came over and brought chicken soup to Zhou He. It is said that it is a soup made with medicinal herbs to nourish the body.
Zhou He took it and thanked him. said that there was nothing to do here, so that Lao Cao didn't have to come over again.
Cheng Wei ordered, where would Lao Cao leave. smiled and said that the business in the store has been weak these days, and he has nothing to do. Come here just to pass the time. He knows a little bit about waterproofing, and he can do it better, so as not to rework and delay the time when the time comes.
He came here to star, but Zhou He was fine. There was a response to the resume she submitted, and a company notified her to go for an interview.
Before she went to the interview, Senior Brother Qiu called, saying that his company was very busy and couldn't recruit the right person for a while, so he asked Zhou He to help him for a while.
His company is just getting a little better now, and Zhou He naturally wants to help. I turned down the interview and went to his company.
Because the company has been sluggish, he has already moved out of the office building where he and Xu Yuanning lived before. Now in a deep alley, it's not easy to find.
He was not polite to Zhou He, so he arranged work for her in the past. There are only three people here now, one of whom has just been recruited, and they are all divided into several positions. Zhou He does some chores such as answering the phone and receiving customers. It's all trivial, it looks easy, but it's not easy. Be very attentive.
She'd done it with them before, and she got started quickly. I worked overtime on the first day of work, and when I got off work, I found that my calves hurt after a day of walking.
On the way back, Cheng Wei called her and asked her what she was doing. Zhou He said that he was helping Senior Brother Qiu.
Cheng Wei didn't object, saying that the things in Kyoto were already over. But he had to go on a business trip to the north to negotiate a contract. If nothing else, it should take half a month to return to Yucheng.
Probably a cold, his voice was slightly hoarse. Zhou He asked him to pay attention to his body.
He was on the plane tonight, said it was okay, and then asked Zhou He to call Lao Cao if there was anything. Tell him what he needs.
Zhou Hehe responded.
He called Zhou He before boarding, and he hung up the phone because he was about to board the plane after not saying long.
Zhou He didn't know if he really went to negotiate the contract or something else, and after hanging up the phone, he was stunned.
Cheng Wei said that he had been there for half a month, but he had not been able to come back for half a month. He still calls every day, most of the time when Zhou He is sleeping. It should be a good pinch.
Zhou He was busy during this time, and things were tedious, and he was often so busy that he was dizzy. Fortunately, the work is almost over.
At noon that day, she was busy with her work, and was just about to pour water, when she walked to the door of the pantry, she saw that the door was hidden. Senior Brother Qiu was on the phone inside. Whispering, I don't know what I'm talking about.
The pantry door was never closed, and he was probably talking about private matters.
Zhou He originally planned to come back later, but before he turned around, he heard Senior Brother Qiu inside ask, "Do you still use your previous card?" I will transfer money later, you take care of yourself." ”
His tone was concerned and a little oppressive.
His parents are here, who will they transfer money to? And just make a phone call, how can they close the door too? Zhou He felt that something was wrong. Before she could come to her senses, her phone rang.
She was startled and wanted to leave, but Senior Brother Qiu inside had already turned around. He didn't know what to say to that side, so he immediately hung up the phone and hurried over.
The call was from Xu Yuanning, and Zhou He had already picked it up and fed him. Lao Qiu had also walked out, his face was a little uncomfortable, he didn't leave, and stood aside and watched Zhou He talk on the phone.
Xu Yuanning came here on a business trip and immediately got on the plane. asked Zhou He where she was, and Zhou He told her about Senior Brother Qiu's company.
Xu Yuanning said that he would come over directly later, everyone hadn't been together for a long time, and they just happened to get together together.
He was about to board the plane, and after a few words, he hung up.
Zhou He put away his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xu called, saying that he would come over for a gathering later. ”
The smile on Lao Qiu's face became natural, and he said, "I'll go to order the land later, but I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
Zhou He smiled and asked casually, "Senior Brother Qiu, what were you doing just now, the door is also closed." ”
The look on Lao Qiu's face became uncomfortable again, looked at the cup in Zhou He's hand, and said, "Just call, if you are bored, close the door casually." Are you going to get boiling water? I'm going to see what to eat. ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak again, and left in a hurry.
No matter how he looked at it like this, it was wrong, and Zhou He was a little puzzled in his heart. There was still a lot to do in the afternoon, and she shook her head, quickly putting it behind her.
Because Xu Yuanning came over, it was rare to get off the morning shift early. Lao Qiu, the place to eat, had already thought about it, and after getting off work, he directly drove Zhou He and Xu Yuanning over.
Greeting Xu Yuanning is not like greeting customers, the three of them go to eat at a food stall. Lao Qiu and Xu Yuanning both drank wine directly. Because Zhou He had surgery, neither of them let her drink much, and only gave her two cans of beer.
Lao Qiu and Xu Yuanning haven't seen each other for a long time, and most of the time they are talking. Talking about the development of the company and the situation in the future.
Zhou He was slowly drinking beer on the side, and would say a few words from time to time. In the middle of the meal, Shu Hua called, and Lao Qiu said that Xu Yuanning was coming, but she only told her not to drink too much, so she didn't call again.
At the end of the meal, Lao Qiu proposed to go to the bar to sit down. The three of them hadn't had a good chat together in years. Xu Yuanning nodded after consulting Zhou He's opinion. Just as he was about to go to the bar, Senior Brother Qiu's mobile phone rang again.
Xu Yuanning was about to ask him if Shu Hua was calling, but before the words could be spoken, Lao Qiu dropped a sentence and took the phone, and then took the mobile phone to the side of the road.
Xu Yuanning and Zhou He glanced at each other and said, "What phone call is so mysterious?"
Zhou He remembered the phone call at noon, and she shook her head.
Senior Brother Qiu's call didn't last long, and he came back soon. I probably felt that it was a little unusual for me to walk away with the phone like this, so I explained unnaturally: "The phone call from the customer is quieter over there." ”
Xu Yuanning didn't say anything, just nodded. Then ask where to go.
None of the three of them planned to go far, so they found a quieter bar nearby and sat down.
Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu both ordered wine, and Zhou He's fruit wine with a very low alcohol content. After the two of them sat down, they continued the previous topic, and Zhou He sat in front of the bar next to Xu Yuanning. Cheng Wei seemed to be free today, and sent a text message to ask her what she was doing.
He rarely texts, although Zhou He thinks it's quite rare. still sent him a text message, saying that Xu Yuanning was coming, and she and Lao Qiu accompanied him to sit at the bar for a while.
Cheng Wei didn't know what to do, and he didn't go back. After a while, I sent a sour text message and asked Zhou He if there were any handsome guys around, and took a picture of him.
He's a little childish like that. Zhou He replied or not, but still took a few photos of him.
Cheng Wei was probably busy and didn't go back.
Zhou Yiyi looked at his mobile phone several times and found no new information, so he put it away and listened carefully to the conversation between Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu.
The company's affairs and the recent things in their respective lives have been talked about almost the same, Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu bumped into one, took a sip of wine, and suddenly asked, "Just now, was that Miss Qiao calling you?"
Zhou He didn't expect this stubble, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Lao Qiu was also stunned for a moment, picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass.
Although he did not answer, he undoubtedly acquiesced.
Xu Yuanning played with the wine glass in his hand, and when he saw him hanging his head, he asked again, "What is she looking for you?"
Lao Qiu was still depressed and said, "She's sick, it's quite serious. She hasn't been married all these years, and her father has owed a lot of debts in business in recent years, and her illness is quite serious......"
He wanted to explain something, but before he could say the words later, Zhou He looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, you are not alone now. You have Sister Shu Hua, and you have children. ”
Her tone was serious and serious.
Lao Qiu clasped his hands together and hurriedly said, "Ah He, don't tell you Sister Shu Hua." The past is all in the past, I just think Xiao Qiao is quite pitiful......"
Xu Yuanning sighed and said, "Old Qiu, why are you so confused? You have your own family now, even if she is pitiful, what does it have to do with you?"
At the beginning, she was the first to propose the breakup. Now that I'm sick and I'm in contact again, it's obvious that I'm wronged him.
Lao Qiu snorted, speechless for a while.
Zhou He's heart was cold, and Senior Brother Qiu still remembered the depressed appearance of that Miss Qiao at the beginning. Where does he put Shu Hua and the child like this now?
Xu Yuanning was much calmer, and seeing that he didn't speak, he continued: "Have you ever thought about how you would explain to Shu Hua if she knew?"
Xu Yuanning asked him speechless, he was silent for a while, and then said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want her to be cured as soon as possible...... She's like this now, if I don't help her, there will be no one to help her. ”
Zhou He couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, looked at him, and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, you don't think you are the savior, do you? Don't forget, every penny you earn now is half of Sister Shu Hua." It is the joint property of both of you. Where did you put Sister Shu Hua with money for treatment? Have you forgotten that in order to support your family two years ago, Sister Shu Hua was reluctant to rest after giving birth to a child. I was reluctant to spend money on someone to hire someone, so I stayed in the store all year round. ”
She couldn't control her emotions a little, and she was a little aggressive.
Lao Qiu was a little anxious and said, "Ahe, I know I'm sorry for you Sister Shu Hua for doing that." I don't want her to be upset, don't tell her, I promise I'll take care of it. ”
Zhou Hesheng felt a little tired and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Where did he think about what to do, and he was speechless for a while.
Zhou He didn't force him anymore and said, "I don't care what you do, Senior Brother Qiu, you can't be sorry for Sister Shu Hua." She is there for you when you are in the most difficult time. ”
Lao Qiu snorted and said no. The atmosphere was a little oppressive, and he couldn't stay any longer, so he made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Zhou He's chest was stuffy, and he ordered a glass of vodka after leaving. Before Xu Yuanning could stop it, she drank it in one gulp.
I don't know why, at this moment, she suddenly remembered Han Xinlai.
She was about to order a second glass of wine, but Xu Yuanning stopped her. took the wine glass in front of her and said, "Your Senior Brother Qiu is a tendon, and his heart is soft, I will have a good talk with him." Shu Hua's side, you can also help hide a little. Don't upset her. ”
His tone was serious, and he obviously didn't want to be upset by it.
Zhou He was stunned, and only came back to his senses after a while, looked down at the bar, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Qiu, you should have been in contact with Miss Qiao for a while." Girls are more sensitive. Sister Shu may already know. ”
Xu Yuanning fell silent at this time. Speechless for a moment.
The atmosphere was very depressing, he smiled reluctantly after a while, and said, "You just don't care about this matter for now, I will talk to you Senior Brother Qiu first." ”
He didn't go on on the subject, and soon moved on to something else. asked about Zhou He's life, and found some interesting things to talk to her.
Zhou He didn't want the atmosphere to be so depressing, so he nodded cooperatively and said a word or two.
There weren't many people in the bar when they came, but now it's getting bigger. There were singers who sang lyrical songs on stage. Xu Yuanning sat down, and suddenly remembered the scenes in the school before.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and he talked about the old school.
At that time, Zhou He was in an embarrassing situation. But it was a happy time for her. She also laughed slightly, and added a few words when Xu Yuanning missed something.
It was just eleven o'clock when Cheng Wei walked into the bar, and he didn't need to search in the crowd much, and he saw Zhou He and Xu Yuanning sitting in front of the bar at a glance.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, unusually harmonious in the dim light.
Cheng Wei was originally going to go inside, but then he paused. Just watched from afar.
After a long while, he pulled out a cigarette and smoked it. It wasn't until Senior Brother Qiu came out of the bathroom and sat down next to him that he walked towards them.
As if he had a heart in his heart, he was still several meters away, and Zhou He, who had been sitting, suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at him.
She sat in disbelief. It wasn't until he got close that she jumped off the stool, walked quickly to him, and said blankly, "When did you come back?"
Cheng Wei smiled slightly, reached out and touched her soft short hair, naturally held her hand, and said, "I just got off the plane." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yuanning and Lao Qiu and greeted them.
Xu Yuanning also didn't expect him to suddenly appear here, and was slightly stunned. Then he came back to his senses, said hello, looked at the time, and said, "It's not early, Ahe should go back too." Let's go first, and I'll sit with Lao Qiu for a while. ”
He is very generous, Cheng Wei naturally will not refuse, say goodbye, hold Zhou He's hand tightly, and take him outside.
There are a lot of people here, and people crowd in from time to time. He took good care of Zhou He. Zhou He's brain was a little unresponsive, as if he was in a dream, and when he walked outside, he asked, "Why don't you call first when you come back?"
Cheng Wei interlocked his fingers with her, looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "I want to surprise you." Do you feel it?"
Zhou He nodded stupidly.
The car was parked on the side of the road, Cheng Wei laughed lowly, leaned over and quickly kissed her on the forehead, and then led her to the car.
The driver didn't send him, he drove by himself. Pull open the door for Zhou to close the car, and he closes the door. went around to the other side and got into the car, and did not start the car immediately, but reached out to Zhou He and kissed her deeply on the lips. Tossing and turning his lips until they were red and swollen, he let go of her, put his forehead against her forehead, and asked with a slight pant, "Do you miss me?"
His voice had darkened.
Zhou He's face was already crimson, and when he saw him staring at her, he pretended to be calm and nodded.
Cheng Wei laughed softly, pecked her red and swollen lips lightly, and said, "I miss you too." ”
He had never been in shape, so he looked outside the car and said, "What's going on?"
His words were very ambiguous.
Zhou He's face turned even redder now, pretending not to hear, and said, "Aren't you tired just getting off the plane? ”
Cheng Wei just let her go, grabbed her waist with a big palm, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ahe, I shouldn't have let you come back first that day." Look how much I miss you. ”
He has always been faceless and skinless, so he took Zhou He's hand and went down.
Zhou He was startled, and it was too late to struggle back. Cheng Wei snorted lowly, bit her scarlet ear and said, "Do you feel it?"
Zhou He's mind came up with the shameless words he said when he called every night, and her face was even hotter. said: "If you don't go, I'll get out of the car." ”
Cheng Wei laughed low and said, "Okay, since Xiao Ahe can't wait to go home, let's go back first." ”
His tone was very ambiguous, and he reluctantly let go of Zhou He's soft little hand.
He was already on the verge of madness, and he couldn't wait. As soon as the car stopped in the yard, he leaned over and kissed Zhou He. When I was a child, I muttered her name over and over again.
In the end, he simply hugged her to his body.
Zhou He was a little unbearable, and he only knew how to cling tightly.
After a long time of tossing and turning this night, Zhou He was finally picked up from the car with only a coat from Cheng Wei. Although she was in the courtyard, she still buried her face tightly in Cheng Wei's chest.
Cheng Wei only buttoned a few buttons on her shirt indiscriminately, and when she was carried to the bathroom, she couldn't control it again. Zhou He didn't even know how he got back to bed in the end.
The night was late, and she slept until dawn. When she woke up, it was already sunny outside, and she patted her head and sat up at once.
The body was cold and cold, and when she turned her head to the side, she saw Cheng Wei looking at her with a smile.
Zhou He subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover his body, and stammered: "......'re late for work."
She didn't care about being shy, and she was about to look for clothes. Cheng Wei directly pressed her back into the quilt, and said with a low smile: "Sleep well, your Senior Brother Qiu has already called." Say that there is not much to do today, you haven't rested for a long time, so let you rest today and tomorrow. ”
She didn't even hear someone calling, and Cheng Wei answered the phone. Her face turned red uncontrollably.
Cheng Wei touched the tip of her nose and said with a low smile: "Your Senior Brother Qiu is here......
His hand was too lazy to reach his slender waist again, and he was about to move.
Zhou He didn't know what he wanted to do, grabbed his hand, and said, "It's not early, I'll get up and make breakfast." ”
Cheng Wei looked lazy, and said with a low smile: "I ordered takeout just now." Are you hungry?"
There is some ambiguity in his hunger word.
Zhou He was not his opponent at all, so he could only pretend not to understand.
She was tired last night, and Cheng Wei didn't come again. He didn't let Zhou He get up, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, knowing that the takeaway was about to be delivered, so he got up first.
It was sunny outside, and after breakfast, Zhou He didn't want to go out lazily, so he accompanied her to trim the flowers and plants outside. Inspect the waterproofing done by the construction team.
He has been busy all this time, and Zhou He saw that he didn't seem to have any plans to go to the company, so he asked, "Are you okay today?"
Cheng Wei was wearing gloves and trimming the branches, the corners of his lips were hooked, he smiled lazily, and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to accompany your daughter-in-law, don't you?"
The words daughter-in-law and son were called very smoothly.
Zhou He watered the flowers and pretended not to hear.
After pruning all the branches, Cheng Wei connected the water pipe and cleaned the yard. When he was about to finish rinsing, he looked back at Zhou He and said, "It's rare for your Senior Brother Xu to come over once, do you want to go grocery shopping and invite him over for dinner?"
He said it quite naturally. Completely regarded himself as a master.
Xu Yuanning is here on a business trip, and there must be something going on during the day today. Zhou He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll call him and ask him to come over for dinner in the evening." ”
Cheng Wei nodded, and said casually: "Ask him to stay for a few days, the hotel is not convenient at home, you live on my side, let him live here." ”
He's about to declare his sovereignty.
Zhou He didn't realize it at all, nodded honestly, and said yes.
The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth raised imperceptibly.
