The phone was shocked again, and new news from Zhu Li came: "But it's not bad for you anyway. You also like to hear about this, but it's not a loss!"

Where is it not bad? Where is it not bad?

These comforting words changed to Xu Qiao's "reverse score". She stood in front of the kitchen cabinet and poured boiling water, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was losing money.

If she hadn't misunderstood Cheng Lang's motives to deal with the Zhao family, she wouldn't have spoken with him in a good voice today, nor would she agree to meet him, nor would she have been able to put on makeup for him or boil water for him...

After a long time, it turned out that she directed and acted a one-man show that she was in trouble, and she coaxed herself!

Is there any girl in this world who is more aggrieved than her?

She drooped the corners of her mouth and looked towards the living room through the glass wall of the kitchen. She saw Cheng Lang leaning against the sofa, lowering her head and typing on her phone. She didn't know what was satisfactory, and even her sitting posture was much more comfortable than before. She waited for her to serve him like a grandpa.

Then let’s serve him well today!

Xu Qiao bit his cheeks, picked up the salt jar from the kitchen and sprinkled it into the boiling water. After that, he did not forget to take out a few pieces of ice from the refrigerator and mix it in, ensuring that he could taste this cup of Balla Energy Water as soon as possible.

The news of the salt spread here did not alarm the two nearby men who were immersed in the hot WeChat chat.

Cheng Lang: "Call her a supper."

Gao Rui: "Okay, but I don't know what Miss Xu likes to eat?"

Cheng Lang: "Crab roe soup buns, shrimp paste noodles, plum vegetable crispy cakes, American style."

When Gao Rui saw this line, he suddenly remembered what Xu Qiao said in the hospital that day. He was about to do as he did when he suddenly saw Cheng Lang change his words: "As long as the plum dish is crispy and porridge, Dr. Song makes her avoid eating."

When Xu Qiao brought the water over, Cheng Lang happened to send this message, naturally locked the screen on his phone, took the cup in her hand, and habitually touched the wall of the cup. He probably felt that the water temperature was quite moderate, and he didn't look closely at the slightly turbid water in the cup, and said "Thank you" and put it on his lips.

The world is still in the next moment.

Cheng Lang's face twisted on the verge of fission and collapse, and slowly raised his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiao blinked and looked at him innocently.

The education he received since childhood made Cheng Lang unable to do the sloppy behavior of spitting out the water he drank into his mouth. So after a few seconds, he frowned and swallowed the thick salt water with difficulty. He pressed his temples and calmed down for a while, and asked, "What kind of water is this?"

It can be heard that his voice was trembling slightly and his voice became hoarse.

"Salt water!" Xu Qiao was confident, "Didn't it mean that salt water can reduce inflammation? Your throat is hoarse, I'll treat you."

Cheng Lang stared at her, as if telling whether she was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. When she turned to the glass of water in her hand, she knew it in her heart.

The opaque coffee cup, adjusted to the right water temperature, and brine that is turbid to this concentration... all of these messages point to - she is clearly "deliberate murder".

The gentleman's mask seemed to be torn apart, and Cheng Lang looked at her indescribable: "Do you drink alcohol directly when you want to drink?"

Xu Qiao sneered in her heart, "The dog man finally showed an ugly face." She looked at him pitifully: "I'm doing it for your own good, but I accidentally added too much salt. Why are you so fierce?"

Cheng Lang blocked his chest and couldn't swallow it or vomit it out. He closed his eyes and pressed down the fire, and nodded with a "ok, fine" look: "Then please pour me a glass of boiled water again, thank you."

"Ah..." Xu Qiao was embarrassed, "But I cooked this cup, why don't you wait..."

Cheng Lang completely lost his patience and stood up and said goodbye: "No, let's go."

Xu Qiao waved happily: "Xiao Cheng will always walk slowly but not to see him off!"

Gao Rui suffocated after Cheng Lang's mouthful of salt water at the door and said that the sentence "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can lie" in Mr. Jin Yong's writing is indeed a famous saying.

He stayed stuck for a long time before hurriedly following Cheng Lang: "Are you okay?"

Cheng Lang loosened his bow tie and walked into the elevator without saying a word. He waited until the lobby: "Did I tell you yesterday that you would like to negotiate with her today?"

"Yes, but you didn't stick to it today..."

Cheng Lang walked all the way and flew his eyes: "I need to say the same thing a second time?"

"No, I will take the initiative to take on these tasks next time!"

“No next time.”

Gao Rui was shocked.

"All the compensation is in place. You can do the rest of the finishing work and don't need to report to me again."

"Then is the dinner for Miss Xu still called..."

Cheng Lang paused: "'How can we repay kindness with kindness?' Haven't you read the Analects of Confucius?"

Gao Rui canceled the order with a bitter face.

——

Xu Qiao turned his head and told Zhu Li about this heart-warming thing.

Zhu Li was stunned and asked her, are you afraid of getting angry and not getting compensation?

She said with fearlessness that this man is stingy in small matters and generous in big matters. Even if she takes boiling water to wash his face today, he will not be missing her if she deserves her.

Sure enough, Gao Rui contacted Cheng Lang three times in the next week.

The first time I asked her about her account, the second time I gave her six-digit money, and the third time it was time for her to review, and asked if she needed to ask Dr. Song for her.

Xu Qiao's scalp recovered well, and Xiaoxiao replied casually.

But when I feel well, I have to end up taking a break and face a miserable working life.

A week later, on a sunny day in early winter, she took a taxi to Xinglin Bay dejectedly.

At seven o'clock in the morning, before the shift time was over, Xu Qiao slowly walked into the toll station rest area to prepare to change his uniform. He saw a group of colleagues gathering around and chatting about some gossip. When he saw her, he was silent.

Then it is obvious that the topic is her.

Xu Qiao didn't care what they were talking about, and walked straight to the locker room, but was pulled by Shi Huan on the way: "Your dad is here!"

Xu Qiao was stunned and looked around and said, "Where is it? How do you know it's my dad?"

"Everyone knows it all! Uncle Xu gave gifts to everyone in the station and said he would pick you up home. He is in the webmaster's office now!"

Xu Qiaoer went to the webmaster's office in a daze. When he arrived at the door, he faintly heard the conversation inside through the faint crack of the door.

"This is causing you trouble during this period!"

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be polite! My colleagues at the station didn't know her origin before and often competed with her. The working conditions here are really difficult, and it's a grievance for your daughter!"

"How could it be? She has been spoiled since she was a child. I want to exercise her and let her suffer. I know how difficult it is to make money. I will be able to calm down in the future. Don't always be so generous."

"You're just joking. With your family, your daughter is afraid that she won't have enough money to spend?"

Xu Kangrong seemed to want to sigh, but he held back halfway and said, "The family is not a good family, but it is all empty. Her mother left early, so I can't support her for the rest of her life. She always has to go first. If she really wants to live alone, she will not even be able to live a life!"

"Then don't worry, the work at the toll station is boring and rigid. Miss Xu has persisted for so long and will definitely be able to do other tasks in the future."

Xu Qiao stood at the door with his eyes down, and while Xu Kangrong hurriedly ended the conversation, he pushed open the door.

The father and daughter looked at each other.

Xu Qiao shrugged with an expression of "I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"Listen to your father, no big or small!" Xu Kangrong pointed at her vainly, "Okay, Lao Li is already waiting at the door, you go home with him."

"I don't have to stay in a hotel in the future?" Xu Qiao followed Xu Kangrong out, "Why did you suddenly let me go home with such kindness?"

"Hey, you girl, you don't want to let you go home, right?"

"Don't take advantage of the opportunity to change the topic." Xu Qiao glanced at him and returned what he said in the hotel that day. "To be honest, did something happen to the subsidiary company a while ago?"

"..." Xu Kangrong choked and said silently, "You are just smart."

"You are so good that you can hide it so much that no one at home knows! It turns out that you are afraid that Jinlu will starve to death on the streets after he goes bankrupt, so you urge me to go on a blind date and sent me here again?"

"What is bankruptcy or not? It means that the funds are unable to turn over for a while, and now they are all resolved."

"You didn't make it through a bet, did you?"

"How could that be!" Xu Kangrong glanced at her.

"It's really solved?"

"I don't believe it, right? There is a private jewelry auction in Lipai Hotel tonight. You can go and buy a few favorites and show them to those who are gossiping. I'll have someone call you the money later."

Xu Qiao wiped the corners of his eyes with the touching touching that he finally didn't have to lie around and asked the last question: "Then are you still forcing me to get married?"

"I won't force it anymore! The two young men of the Cheng family, especially the second son, are not the food you can eat, so you can just let it go! As long as Jin Lu is here for one day, dad will support you for one day, okay?"

Xu Qiao nodded vigorously, and with a sassy aura of "who is rich and careless", he stood up straight on his own Rolls-Royce.

——

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the private room on the second floor of Xifuhui was filled with smoke.

At the card table, Jiang Fang bit the cigarette and played a pair of old A's, and glanced at Shen Dang opposite him: "Your repulsion to women now really makes me look at you with admiration," and said, pointing to the waiter at hand, "Even if the cigarette is asked for the man to light it for me."

Shen Dang silently took the heavy blame: "Don't open your mouth and shut up women, don't bother women? Ask Mr. Lang what he was like last week."

Cheng Lang glanced at him.

This is Shen Dang's subconscious habit. When the situation may be exposed, his words will always shape Cheng Lang into a romantic wanderer with a close connection with a woman.

However, this topic unfortunately hit the pain of the "prodigal son".

For the past week, Cheng Lang felt salty from time to time. Every time before drinking water, he would take a sip of "a snake bite once, but for ten years, he would take a sip."

It is said that love requires taste memory.
