Chapter 4: A Premeditated Goodbye (1)
To be honest, under Su Taotao's semi-coercion, although Lu Zhen gave her her contact information, she actually didn't have much hope that her wallet could be recovered. The monotonous and lonely life continued, until one day, Lu Zhen received a call from Su Taotao.
"Hey, Lu Zhen, I'm Su Taotao, I found your wallet. Half of the money in it was squandered by the two thieves, but the rest of the cards were obtained for you. ”
Lu Zhen was very surprised, but he didn't expect Su Taotao to really have a way to help him find it back. A girl who only has a one-sided relationship helps herself so much, Lu Zhen can't help but sigh, there are still many good people in this world.
"Thank you so much for taking so long, I don't know how to thank you. By the way, last time you told my brother that you wanted a raise, I don't know much about the company's system, so why don't I tell him that I will give you an extra bonus this month. ”
I wanted to say that the money left in the wallet would be used as a hardship fee for you, but Lu Zhen felt that it was a bit rude to say this, and remembered the conversation she had with her eldest brother last time, so she thought of such a compromise.
Su Taotao's intestines were green because of the last joke, if it was for money, she wouldn't have worked so hard to help him find it, and it wasn't because of the promise that Mr. Lu made her full of motivation. Lu Zhen, a stupid boy, can't even tell the difference between jokes and the truth, and he has to let her follow the temptation.
"Last time, I told Mr. Lu that it was just a joke, and I didn't help you find your wallet for the sake of payment, have you forgotten, our martial arts practitioners do chivalrous deeds without asking for anything in return."
"That's it," Lu Zhen was a little worried, she didn't want money, how to express her gratitude: "Why don't I treat you to a delicious meal, you haven't eaten well these days, you should make up for it." ”
"For your sake, well, I'll accept your thanks, lest you have trouble sleeping." Although she knew that he was Lu Qi's younger brother, she was very relaxed when she talked to Lu Zhen, and she didn't feel nervous and cramped when facing Lu Qi at all. Maybe it's because the temperaments of the two are very different, Lu Zhen doesn't have that aggressive momentum, but gives people a gentle and comfortable feeling throughout his body, which makes people feel relaxed naturally.
"Then it's decided, I don't know what you like to eat, I'll arrange it."
"It's like the one I ate at your house last time, it's simple, and it's not too troublesome." Su Tao Tao blessed her soul and further hinted at Lu Zhen, although she didn't notice what she ate at Lu's house last time, she still remembered Lu Qi's sentence "commonplace".
The level of the Lu family's chefs is naturally much better than that of the chefs in the restaurants outside, no wonder she will never forget it. Lu Zhen, who received Su Taotao's hint, answered with kindness, and didn't think about it at all, but she was kindly afraid that she would be embarrassed to meet her eldest brother again, so she specially arranged a time when Lu Qi was not there: "If Miss Su doesn't mind, why don't you come to my house for a meal again, Uncle Zhang has a few specialty dishes that are still good." It just so happens that Big Brother is going on a business trip this weekend, so you can be more casual here. ”
Who wants to be casual, I just like to see Mr. Lu when the deer is cramped and uneasy, what's wrong, don't be casually empathetic, okay. Su Taotao slandered Lu Zhen in his heart, and he had to pretend to be "helpless" to reject Lu Zhen's kindness: "Probably not this weekend, I have an appointment with a friend, can you change the time." ”
"Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about today. It's just that my eldest brother will also be at home, will you feel restrained? ”
"No, no, although Lu is always my boss, I will forget about the surrounding qiē as soon as I touch food, don't worry about my bad food." Lu Zhen took the bait accurately, Su Taotao's heart blossomed, and Lu Zhen was really on the way. I was afraid that he would regret it after a while, so I quickly agreed.
Lu Zhen remembered the last time Su Taotao had dinner at Lu's house, and it looked like he was completely disturbed by his eldest brother, but since the other party said so, he didn't have much to do. The two agreed to meet at dinner, and after Lu Zhen ended the call, he called his eldest brother to report, and called the chef Uncle Zhang to ask him to cook a few specialty dishes at night.
After arranging dinner, Lu Zhen lazily returned to the bedroom to take a nap. He didn't draw the curtains, let the afternoon sun shine on him, and his whole body was warm. When he woke up from a half-dream, Lu Zhen vaguely thought that in fact, if he had changed to normal times, he would not have called an unfamiliar girl to come to the door three times or twice, even if the other party was under the banner of helping him. But the fate between people is so wonderful, he made an exception for Su Taotao because of monotony and boredom, and she happened to be an employee of the Lu family, which made him less vigilant, so as to allow her to come to the Lu family for the second time. Anyway, after she returned her wallet, the two probably didn't have much to do with each other, and a bland episode of life didn't have much impact. After coming to this conclusion in his mind, Lu Zhen turned over comfortably and fell asleep completely.
And Su Taotao, who has a different mind about the eldest brother, has a different idea from Lu Zhen at this time. For a whole afternoon, she was planning how to keep in touch with Lu Zhen after paying off her wallet. After exhausting the few brain cells, Su Taotao still didn't come up with any practical methods, so he had no choice but to hide in the drinking room and call Yunxiu for help.
"Yunxiu, you say, after paying back the wallet, what reason do I have to be close to Lu Zhentao."
Yun Xiu, who is known as Su Taotao's love military advisor, couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to say after holding back for a long time: "You just take the opportunity to act, maybe when you eat, you and Mr. Lu will have a spark of love." ”
"What spark of love can be created by just one meal?"
"Maybe Mr. Lu saw that you were very good at eating, and you were not picky, so he thought you were easy to raise, so he married you and went home."
"You should be a pet, and you can pick a good one, how can Mr. Lu's taste and requirements be so simple. Ah, don't digress, what I asked is obviously how close to Lu Zhentao. ”
Yunxiu raised her eyebrows speechlessly, anyway, Su Taotao couldn't see it: "Mr. Lu's iron plate is hard to gnaw, is his younger brother a soft persimmon, and the kinship route is not easy to walk, you should act at the opportunity." ”
It seems that Yunxiu doesn't have any good way to provide it, Su Taotao helplessly put away the phone, picked his hair indiscriminately, returned to his desk, stared at the computer and waited for work. And her obvious appearance of being outside the world attracted the attention of Xiao Xiao, a colleague next door, known as the "King of Gossip" in the company.
"What's the matter, beauty, she looks like she can't give up, was she dumped by her boyfriend?"
"Go aside, girl, I'm still in the boudoir, where is the boyfriend." Although Su Taotao also likes to gossip with him about some company secrets when she is fine, she is really not in the mood today, and she has not yet figured out how to get closer to Lu Zhen.
"Okay, okay, when I didn't say it. It's just that you are sighing like Lin Daiyu today, and you care about it as a colleague. ”
To put it nicely, whoever doesn't know that you like to inquire about other people's private information, and then gossip about it. Suddenly, Su Taotao remembered something, grabbed Xiao Xiao and didn't care about the pain of others, and asked him mysteriously: "Hey, don't you claim to know the secrets of the entire company well, so do you know the news about Mr. Lu's younger brother?" ”
"Why are you asking this, the unmarried women of the whole company are thinking about Mr. Lu, do you think you have no chance, and you plan to go off the rails and fight Mr. Lu's younger brother?"
"What are you talking about, am I that kind of person? I just heard that Mr. Lu has a younger brother, and I'm a little curious why he is not in the Lu family. Su Taotao knew that Xiao Xiao liked gossip, maybe he could get any useful information from him to get close to Lu Zhentao.
"Is it because of this that you can't give up your soul today, then you can ask the right person. Mr. Lu's younger brother usually lives in a simple place, but he is very mysterious. ”
