Chapter 47: Edamame Tofu

With Manager Wu's checks and balances, Lao Zheng was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't have the energy to work on me anymore. But in a key position, it is inevitable that you will encounter some workplace troubles, and many times you have to turn to them for help.

And so I started to go between the two sides, and I lived a career that I didn't even feel like I knew.

When you jump into a circle, you will find that your relationships are subtly changing.

I don't know when I began to be inseparable from Director XX, called me brother and sister to Manager XX, began to go in and out of some high-end bars and restaurants, discussed brand-name cars with others, and began to have a temper and heart, and would scold, ridicule, and frame people......

And our elite trio is gradually drifting apart. Zhou Haoran rarely came to me again, and when he spoke, he didn't lose his previous calmness, and even began to welcome and restrain him. Luo Qian later resigned and became a full-time mother.

In winter, food stall business is cold. Occasionally, I drove by, and it was dimly lit, but there was no smoke or laughter.

At the end of Xia Xiaoxue's vacation, she passed by Feishi and brought me a specialty of my hometown,—— edamame tofu.

She is a clever girl, and the scent of edamame tofu made by herself is rich and melts in the mouth, and I especially like to eat it.

When I brought her home that day, I didn't know it was edamame tofu, and I couldn't help but feel horrified when I looked at the white hairs in the jar.

"What is this?" I asked, confused.

"Edamame tofu for you." She said.

Taking out a can of edamame tofu from the suitcase, I saw Xia Xiaoxue marking the date and eating suggestions on the transparent glass jar. She is always so attentive that she is afraid that I will miss the best time to eat it, so she labels everything.

"Oh......! It turns out that this is Huangshan's specialty edamame tofu! ”

Xiaoxue raised her face and smiled at me, and her smile was very beautiful.

"I heard that you are now a personnel manager and often hang out drinking. Edamame tofu can relieve hangover, scoop a little boiling water and rinse it, and the results will be immediate. ”

"Really!" I will be skeptical and help her set the jar in place. "Every time I come back at night, I drink warm milk from my ex-girlfriend, but I actually hate drinking milk."

Xia Xiaoxue's fingers trembled, and she immediately looked at me and asked, "Your ex-girlfriend often comes to your house in the middle of the night?" ”

"She takes the baby during the day and rarely comes." I say.

"Oh ......!" Xia Xiaoxue pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into a smile and said to me, "You can send her two cans of edamame tofu to taste, you won't be able to eat it anyway." ”

I glanced at the neatly arranged cans of edamame tofu on the table and nodded. "I'll give her a message later."

Zhao Qian received my WeChat and rushed over quickly. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiaoxue was helping me wash vegetables and cook, and I explained to her and went out with two cans of edamame tofu.

Zhao Qian stood in front of the unit door and waited for me, and when she learned that I had guests at home, she didn't go up.

"You're finally going to get married!" Zhao Qian held Niuzi's head and lowered her eyes and sneered.

"It's just a colleague, it's not as good as you think."

"I don't believe it" Zhao Qian looked at the label written on the hairy tofu bottle and can, and her eyes were like torches: "As soon as I look at the handwriting, I know that she is a delicate little girl." ”

"She's really handsome, she's a good girl." I complimented her twice, and then explained to her with a smile: "But you know, I can't get along with such a good girl." It's going to disappoint her. ”

"It's pretty self-aware!" Zhao Qian was just about to leave, and looked back at me coldly: "But you can try, don't always be so inferior, okay?" ”

When I sent Zhao Qian back home, I saw Zhao Qian wiping her hands and looking behind me: "She didn't come up?" ”

"Gone," I said.

"She should have been allowed to eat, so many dishes were made."

Xia Xiaoxue said and walked back to the kitchen, and quickly turned around and asked me, "Huh?" Call Sister Luo, she should come. ”

I thought about it for a moment and agreed. Luo Qian's husband happened to be on a business trip, and the orphan and widow were too lazy to cook at home, so they rushed over without any reserve.

Xia Xiaoxue is ingenious, and a table of fragrant meals simply kills those so-called specialty restaurants, and even Luo Qian is full of praise.

"Lu Xia, you are really blessed!" Luo Qian said.

"How blessed am I?"

"Xiaoxue is so good at cooking, aren't you blessed?"

As soon as I heard that it was a trap, I squinted at Luo Qian and asked her to stop her mouth quickly. At this time, Luo Qian's eyes were attracted by the edamame tofu on the wine shelf, and she stood on tiptoe and looked at it and asked, "This is the edamame tofu of Huangshan?" ”

"You're pretty knowledgeable," I said.

Luo Qian looked back and looked coldly, and then found the labels on the bottle, looked at them one by one, and wondered: "Why is the date broken?" ”

"There are two more cans of Brother Lu for his ex-girlfriend." Xiaoxue explained.

"Former ...... Ex-girlfriend? Luo Qian was confused, turned her eyes to look at me and asked, "Which ex-girlfriend?" ”

"Is it called Zhao Qian?" Xia Xiaoxue looked at me and asked. I asked Luo Qian again: "Didn't Brother Lu say that you were colleagues before?" ”

Luo Qian nodded with a smile, and when she looked at me again, there was a strange look in her eyes.

"Are you two still eating?" I knocked on the edge of the bowl, turned to Luo Qian and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. No way! ”

"Cut! Who is rare" Luo Qian sat back at the dining table, and said to Xia Xiaoxue: "You guy who is heavy on color and light on friends!" ”

Xia Xiaoxue looked at me in embarrassment and then looked at Luo Qian: "Next time, I'll bring it to you again." ”

"It's pretty much the same" Luo Qian smiled happily and asked where Xiaoxue stayed at night?

Xia Xiaoxue's curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and she muttered for a long time before she lowered her head shyly and whispered: "I'll live here with Brother Lu, and he will take me to the airport tomorrow." ”

Luo Qian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, looked at me worriedly, and said to Xia Xiaoxue: "Let's go and live with me, I don't worry about this stinky boy." ”

I was inexplicably scolded, and I didn't want to argue about this matter, but I was strange in my heart, I couldn't wait to stuff it into my house last time, why did I change my attitude today?

The corners of Xia Xiaoxue's mouth stiffened, looked at me timidly, and then looked at Luo Qian: "It should be ...... It's okay. I believe in Lu ......"

"What do you know as a child?" Without waiting for Xia Xiaoxue to finish speaking, Luo Qian glared coldly and interrupted.

After eating, I cleaned them up and got up early the next day to pick up Xiaoxue. Her tenure in Yucheng will not end until the end of the year, and this farewell should not be seen until the end of the year.

"Your sister Luo must have said bad things about me!" Sitting in the car, I asked nonchalantly.

Xia Xiaoxue smiled shallowly, and stared at me with big eyes sitting in the passenger seat.

"Brother Lu, Sister Luo told me about you and Zhao Qian." She said suddenly.

"Oh? She's really good at doing things, see if I scold her later. ”

"Brother Lu......" Xia Xiaoxue frowned slightly, her fingers picking at the phone case.

"You must have been very sad at the time!"

Xiaoxue suddenly asked sentimentally, I turned my face to look at her, and found that there were snowflakes faintly floating in her big crystal eyes. Flakes of snow melt in the pupils of the eyes, turning into dew drops and mist.

"No! I almost forgot," I shrugged indifferently.

Xia Xiaoxue retracted her gaze, looked out the opposite window, and didn't speak for a long time. "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her."

"What's wrong with you?" Instead, I began to worry about her rising. Concerned asked: "Is it the same as your Sister Luo, thinking that I haven't let go yet?" Don't be silly! The parties haven't collapsed yet! ”

Xia Xiaoxue hummed lightly, and only squeezed out a smile to me for a long time and said, "Brother Lu, what you said about Hu Shanshan, is it online dating?" ”

"I'll go~! Luo Qian: This is too much! I muttered to myself.

Xia Xiaoxue giggled: "She must be very beautiful!" ”

"It's beautiful!" I replied casually. But soon realized that something was wrong, glanced at Xiaoxue beside her, and said to her: "Before we met, she was my spiritual sustenance, and it is hard to imagine how dead and silent my life would have been without her in the past two years." Later, I ran in Wuhan, you know, and we ran into the Spring Festival, so we walked from Wushi to Xishui County......"

I told Xiaoxue about my experience with Hu Shanshan, and I could see the envy and longing in her eyes. Sometimes a good story is just this kind of mundane experience, and when you look back, you will realize that it is the most beautiful scenery of life's journey.

"Brother Lu, can I use your mobile phone?" Xiaoxue asked suddenly.

I nodded noncommittally and handed her the phone.

"You...... Do what? "I feel more and more that today's light snow is weird.

"Don't worry, I'm just sending a text message to my mother to report safety, my phone is in arrears."

I nodded suspiciously, my eyes glancing at her phone, and she turned sideways evasively to keep me from seeing.

I checked when I sent Xiaoxue away, and she did just use my mobile phone to send a short message to an unfamiliar number to report safety, and the other party replied affectionately, it should be her parents. But strangely, she deleted my chat page with her, and I couldn't find any of my previous chat history.

Xia Xiaoxue is one of the few people who likes me, and I don't need to be wary of her, so I don't think much about it.

New Year's Day is coming soon, and the agreement between me and Hu Shanshan is about to be ushered in. But there were some small movements in the company, like a gear effect, and the struggle at the top intensified, gradually reaching incandescent level. At this time, the situation has changed dramatically, everyone is in danger, and those with and without camps are making the final trade-offs.
