Originally, Jin Zuihui shouldn't meddle in such nosy matters, but she was so curious that she couldn't help but ask one more question.
"So are you really staying at her house these days?"
Then he saw Zhan Yiyuan, whose face slowly turned red from the inside.
Unexpectedly, I guessed it right.
"You two are really having fun!" Jin Zuihui complained.
"We...there is actually nothing between the two of us." Zhan Yiyuan explained weakly.
"If you don't have any, there's no need to talk about it. I just want to hear exciting gossip, bye." Jin Zuihui left after saying this. She is still busy now.
The Guo Group has a lot of things waiting for her to do. The financial director and the inspection director have both resigned. The company's top management has basically undergone a major change. Now is a time when people are needed very much.
Jin Zuihui had taken over some of the work before, so she still helped there. After all, she was also paid there.
Zhan Yiyuan called Erkang's hand, but did not stop Jin Zuihui from leaving.
"You are all too cruel!" He stood there alone and wailed.
When Lin Qiu found Zhou Xiaotong, Zhou Xiaotong was on duty. She was alone in the classroom with a pile of papers thrown around.
Those pieces of paper were obviously torn up and thrown on the ground deliberately. Under normal circumstances, there would not be so much garbage in the classroom.
Lin Qiu opened the door: "Xiaotong, are you the only one cleaning today?"
Zhou Xiaotong was a little shocked when she saw him, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I come find my girlfriend?" Lin Qiu's face was expressionless, looking a little scary.
"Of course, I didn't expect you to have time today." Zhou Xiaotong's smile was a bit forced. She didn't want Lin Qiu to see her like this.
"Let me sweep the floor for you." Lin Qiu walked over and took Zhou Xiaotong's broom.
He swept the floor silently. He was very angry now, angry that those people could bully Zhou Xiaotong for no reason, and angry that he did not have the strength to intimidate others.
Zhou Xiaotong stood next to him, bowing his head and saying nothing.
After a long time, Lin Qiu said, "During my absence, did anyone bully you?"
"No, it's just that the cleaning people in my group have things to do." Zhou Xiaotong said.
"Why would they leave only one person to clean up?" Lin Qiu held Zhou Xiaotong's hand and sounded a little serious.
Zhou Xiaotong lowered his head for a long time before saying: "One boy said he was going to play ball, and another girl said she wanted to go out for dinner with her partner."
"Xiaotong, these are not reasons. Where are they now? I will go find them." Lin Qiu was angry.
"It's better not to go. It doesn't matter if I clean the house. It will only be my turn twice a month, and it's just wiping the blackboard and sweeping the floor." Zhou Xiaotong said nonchalantly.
"You can take the initiative to clean, but you can't be isolated by others and stay here alone."
"What I mean is that if you encounter a problem, you can talk to me. They are bullying you because you are a girl. If I am here, I will definitely be able to support you." After Lin Qiu said this, he felt a little annoyed because of what he had done. All efforts failed to bring Zhou Xiaotong a better life.
"Sorry, I'm not a very good boyfriend."
"Why are you here to apologize?" Zhou Xiaotong lowered his head: "I can't help your career like Zuihui..."
"How can you compare with her? She is just a colleague to me, but you are different!" Lin Qiu's voice became louder: "You said something about my business before and didn't talk to you, but now you are facing Why don't you tell me about some difficult situations?"
"Because I'm not with you, do you think I can't help you?" Lin Qiu was a little frustrated.
The long-standing backlog of problems between the two people finally broke out. Zhou Xiaotong sat on the stool and said nothing. Tears slowly filled her eyes, blurring her vision.
Finally, the tears in his eyes completely burst, and big tears flowed down his face.
"But you are indeed not with me! Lin Qiu, I need you very much during this time, but you are injured, and I also know your difficulties."
"You are injured, how can I let you worry about other things..." Zhou Xiaotong repeated over and over again.
Lin Qiu felt so distressed when she heard her voice that she just kissed her.

Jin Zuihui took the printed document to Lin Qiu to sign. This was another dividend sent by the Guo Group. Their newly launched products were a huge success in the market, and sales increased by several points compared with usual.
Normally, Lin Qiu would study in the financial club's office, but when she walked over today, she only saw Zhan Yiyuan squatting outside.
"What are you doing squatting here?" Jin Zuihui also squatted down curiously.
Zhan Yiyuan put his index finger on his lips: "Shh! Don't alert the snake." After saying this, he pressed his ear tightly to the door.
Jin Zuihui imitated his example and put her ear to the door.
It turned out that Lin Qiu and Zhou Xiaotong were inside.
"Xiaotong, what did they say about you?" Lin Qiu hugged Zhou Xiaotong and spoke softly.
"The words they said were terrible, saying that you and I are not good friends." Zhou Xiaotong's tears fell.
"They are just jealous of our relationship." Lin Qiu didn't want to see Zhou Xiaotong wither. His girlfriend should always be happy.
Zhou Xiaotong lowered her head and said nothing. She also knew that she shouldn't care about what others said, but she just couldn't do it.
"If you keep focusing on them, you will only make yourself feel stressed. I know there is a Mathematical Olympiad competition recently. Let's go to that competition and relax." Lin Qiu rubbed Zhou Xiaotong's head.
"Okay, it's just a good time to relax. Will you join me?" Zhou Xiaotong's eyes were bright. She hadn't spent time with Lin Qiu for a long time.
"Of course, we will participate together. The company's business is relatively small during this period." Lin Qiu comforted Zhou Xiaotong with a smile and lied casually.
Jin Zuihui squatted outside the door and sighed: "He has so much work, how can he still have time to participate in the competition?"
Not only the finishing work of the Guo Group, but also the investment projects of vegetarian companies, as well as recruitment and training.
Zhan Yiyuan shook his head: "You don't understand now, do you? He died under the peonies, and he is also charming even if he is a ghost. Lin Qiu just can't stand Zhou Xiaotong's discomfort."
"I see, but we Xiaotong are also quite aggrieved. She obviously has a boyfriend, but her boyfriend is still not with her." Jin Zuihui punched Zhan Yiyuan.
She thinks Zhou Xiaotong is a good girl, and she has a better relationship with Zhou Xiaotong, so she is more willing to talk to Zhou Xiaotong.
Zhan Yiyuan said nonchalantly: "A man must still focus on his career. If Lin Qiu does not have a high salary, he will definitely not be able to bring Zhou Xiaotong a superior life."
Jin Zuihui pouted and did not refute. This sentence was indeed correct. She hoped that Zhou Xiaotong would not worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea in his future life.
