Chapter 37: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Early in the morning, Qian Qian happily went to work in the magazine, Zhao Xiaoxi had reminded Qian Qian before that the place where their family lived was the North Fifth Ring Road, and the place where Xi Qian was going to work was in the East Third Ring Road, so it would take at least four hours to go back and forth every day.

For people who are accustomed to Beijing's traffic, spending hours on work is nothing, who makes Beijing so big! But for Sissi, she was hit by Beijing's traffic conditions as soon as she got to work.
Zhao Xiaoxi received a call from Xu Ning again at work in the morning, and the last time it was easy to deal with the house design, he hesitated and didn't want to answer Xu Ning's call, but finally answered.
"Hey... Xiaoxi, what are you busy with?" Xu Ning always maintained enthusiasm on the phone, but in her heart she was always indifferent to anyone.
"Oh, I'm going to work!" Zhao Xiaoxi replied lightly.
"Do you have time at noon? I'll invite you to dinner! I thought I would like to thank you for the last time I was blueprinted! I happened to go to the vicinity of your unit to do some errands. Xu Ning said.
"You're welcome, we'll just have an hour's break at noon. Zhao Xiaoxi knew that Xu Ning just wanted to show off her new house last time, and as far as she knew, Xu Ning was not a character who would invite someone to dinner for no reason, so she didn't want to have too much entanglement with her.
"It's okay, I'll go to a restaurant near your unit first, let's have a simple meal, then you can come over on time after work, lunch for an hour is enough, then that's it, see you at noon!" Xu Ning is always a person who talks to herself and does not allow others to have any opinions, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Helplessly, Zhao Xiaoxi is also a bad person, how to say that he is also a high school classmate, and it is easy to come across that small place in his hometown if he goes back, and it will not be embarrassing to ignore it and see him later.
Sure enough, when it was almost lunch, Zhao Xiaoxi received a text message from Xu Ning, it was in a noodle restaurant near the company, and colleagues were tired of eating in the canteen and would go to this noodle restaurant to change their tastes, but it was not far from the company, Zhao Xiaoxi came out a little early while everyone was not paying attention, not to mention that she was just hanging there in the unit now.
Walking into the noodle shop, Xu Ning waved at Zhao Xiaoxi enthusiastically, the two have not seen each other for a long time, although they have given birth to two children, but seeing her selfie photos in the circle of friends has not changed much, but Zhao Xiaoxi forgot that there is something called PS.
"Xiaoxi, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're still so beautiful!" Xu Ning warmly beckoned Zhao Xiaoxi to sit down.
"Don't laugh, how can you compare to you! Look at your appearance as a Korean lady!" Zhao Xiaoxi also hurriedly replied.
The two of them had a homely meal, and the dishes that Xu Ning had ordered before were also served on the table, two bowls of noodles and a cold dish, it was really a simple lunch.
"By the way, your daughter is about to go to elementary school, right?" Xu Ning asked as she ate.
"I'm five years old, and I'm not going to elementary school until the year after that. Zhao Xiaoxi also took a bite of food and said.
"Xiaoxi, you should also hurry up and have a second child, you see that although I gave birth to these two children by caesarean section, I now feel that the original decision was right. Xu Ning continued.
"I can't afford to have a second child, how can you have a second child, how can you have a mother-in-law who can help!" Zhao Xiaoxi was very disgusted by people persuading her to have a second child, it was originally a family situation, and some people always said that other people's affairs were so easy.
"That's right, I met a good in-law, isn't it my eldest sister who works in the United States now, and often sends us money!" As soon as she talked about Xu Ning's in-laws, she became energetic, and said with a proud tone in her words.
"By the way, you came all the way here just to invite me to dinner, right?" Zhao Xiaoxi finally couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to work again! Now I'm working as a sales manager in the real estate section of Youth Daily!" Xu Ning knew that she was finally going to get down to business.
"How good you are as a full-time wife, what kind of work do you go to! How can we still have to support our families!" Zhao Xiaoxi didn't expect Xu Ning to go to work, but only he knows how good or bad the scenery looks like to outsiders.
"The two children are also in school, and it's not interesting for me to be at home, I want you to help introduce some developers this time!" Xu Ning also went straight to the point.
"I'm just a little shrimp, and the people I dock with are all small shrimps from real estate companies, and this big thing of advertising can't be counted!" Zhao Xiaoxi finally understood the purpose of Xu Ning's trip, but she was also the truth.
"It's okay, it's better than not knowing anyone!" Xu Ning's character is really not so easy to give up.
"Then I'll help you ask!" Zhao Xiaoxi had no choice but to agree for the time being, she knew what she was talking about, and Xu Ning would not give up.
Zhao Xiaoxi rushed to settle the bill, but was stopped by Xu Ning, and in the end he still didn't earn Xu Ning, in fact, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't want to owe Xu Ning a favor for a bowl of noodles, because she knew Xu Ning too well.
Sometimes it is a blessing to suffer a loss, but sometimes a small gain will suffer a big loss, and most people only give up long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests.
