After dinner, Yan Dong mentioned that he had to go to the teaching building to get materials, and then we separated from Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.
Walking along the NTU campus, I suddenly felt that the places I didn’t dare to set foot in before seemed less scary.
What I didn't expect was that Yan Dong didn't take me to the teaching building at all, but accompanied me around to the back door of the school.
I sincerely thank you: "Class committee member, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard," Yan Dong replied simply, and asked again: "That stir-fried pork loin, do you really think it's good?"
I nodded and said, "Although it's a bit spicy, it's quite enjoyable."
I didn't eat this stuff before.
The corners of Yan Dong's mouth turned up, and his eyes were starry: "Nan Xu, look, if you change the taste, you will have a different experience."
Thanks to him, I realized the deliciousness of pork loin.
When I arrived at the company the next day, I immediately suggested that Wu Ling try this delicacy.
After hearing this, Wu Ling frowned and said in a low voice: "Piggy is so cute, how can you cut its waist?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xixi came over with a notebook.
"Sister Nan Xu, I compiled a small piece of code last night, but it didn't pass the test. Can you help me take a look?"
I nodded and took the notebook from her.
It is a simple game back-end code. It is a common example in the book. After taking a look, I pointed out the problem.
Lin Xixi sighed with a smile and did the test in front of me, but after the test, she did not take away the notebook immediately.
I glanced casually and immediately saw the intimate group photo on the screen saver.
It belongs to Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.
The little girl leaned in front of Zhou Hanzhi and gestured to the camera, while Zhou Hanzhi stood behind her and smiled.
His eyes were gentle.
There is a sense of you making fun of me and making me laugh.
"Sister Nan Xu," Lin Xixi glanced at me and said with a smile, "You also think this one is very atmospheric, right?"
Lin Xixi's showing off was blatant.
Even a little provocative.
She is a little girl after all, she can't hide things from her eyes.
If you look carefully at this photo, you will find that the location where the two took the photo was on the NTU campus.
Apparently, after the four of us separated yesterday, he took Lin Xixi for a walk around his alma mater.
Above board.
Unlike me, I coaxed Zhou Hanzhi for so long and asked him to change the screen saver on his mobile phone to a photo of us holding hands, but he was ruthlessly rejected.
I couldn’t even think about taking a group photo together.
Lin Xixi has the capital to show off.
"It matches very well," I said in a calm voice, "it would be more textured if I added a filter."
"Yes...really." Lin Xixi spoke with a stumble, reluctantly twitching her lips and said, "I'll give it a try later."
After saying that, he held the notebook and left.
In the afternoon, Shen Hualan suddenly called.
"Xu Xu, I have a party this weekend. Can you choose two suitable cheongsams for my aunt?"
I know Shen Hualan's hobbies, and her biggest hobby is shopping. Thanks to her, I went to the mall a lot in those two years. It's not an exaggeration to say that I was always available.
But it's different now.
I politely said: "I still have work on hand. Auntie, you can call Miss Lin."
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together are always more suitable than me.
"I don't want it," Shen Hualan has always been straightforward. "Seeing her timid appearance makes my head hurt."
I couldn't answer the call, and then I heard Shen Hualan complaining on the other end of the phone: "Xuxu, tell me honestly, do you think Auntie is too nagging?"
It seemed like she was the most aggrieved person.
I pinched my brows and made some compromises: "Is that okay after get off work?"
Who told her to be the investor’s mother?
After hanging up the phone, Shen Hualan immediately sent the store address.
It is an old tailor shop with a long history and is quite famous in the circle of rich wives in Beijing and Hong Kong.
Before leaving get off work, I drank a cup of coffee and cheered up to go out.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi also came.
When the waiter led me to find Shen Hualan, Lin Xixi was holding a piece of gorgeous fabric in her hand and showing it to Shen Hualan. When she saw me, she bit her lip unconsciously.
Zhou Hanzhi was even more rude: "Why are you here?"
It doesn’t matter if I leave, it doesn’t matter if I don’t leave.
When Shen Hualan heard the sound, she turned around and said with a smile: "I invited Xu Xu here, and you two together don't know her about my preferences."
After Lin Xixi heard this, she lowered her head in despair and clutched the fabric in her hand tightly.
I'm quite embarrassed too.
In fact, Lin Xixi is quite discerning. Although the pattern of the fabric she chose is a bit old, the color still meets Shen Hualan's aesthetic taste.
She likes glamour.
So when she took my arm and asked me to choose for her, I deliberately chose a plain color.
Shen Hualan was quite surprised when she saw it, but probably because she wanted to offend Lin Xixi, she still praised me in a flattering manner: "See, we, Xu Xu, have a good eye for low-key and noble styles."
Lin Xixi didn't even dare to answer the words and buried her head lower.
I could only smooth things over: "Auntie, you have fair skin, so you can wear any style. Although the color chosen by Manager Lin is attractive, it can only hold up if you have a skin tone like yours."
Shen Hualan reluctantly ordered one.
Perhaps Zhou Hanzhi couldn't stand it any longer, so he pointed at the Yishui fabric and said, "Made one of each of these colors according to Miss Lin's size."
Lin Xixi opened her eyes wide in surprise and said slyly: "Senior, it's too expensive."
Shen Hualan was also dissatisfied: "Xuxu followed me around and you didn't say thank you properly."
Only then did Zhou Hanzhi look at me lightly and asked, "Does Manager Meng have a favorite style?"
People asked me, but I couldn’t justify it if I was being pretentious, so I casually pointed to an off-white bamboo pattern embroidery sample and said, “This is the one.”
After the selection, Zhou Hanzhi made an excuse and took Lin Xixi away first.
When Shen Hualan saw this, she made a face and said, "Xuxu, you've seen it, I'm busy with work, aren't you just afraid that I'll make things difficult for that Miss Lin?"
I comforted her: "Since Mr. Zhou cares about her so much, Auntie, you should pay more attention and take care of her. After all, she will have to rely on her to share Mr. Zhou's worries in the future."
Shen Hualan looked at me depressedly and said, "Xu Xu, if you and Han Zhi..."
Halfway through, she sighed again.
I probably guessed what Shen Hualan meant.
She may have felt that if Zhou Hanzhi had to find a woman from an ordinary family, she would rather be me.
But she forgot that she also disliked me in the past.
It was already late at night when Zhou Hanzhi called.
"Manager Meng is very enthusiastic today."
A neither salty nor bland tone.
I also suppressed my anger and responded: "Mr. Zhou won the award, didn't I also get the corresponding reward?"
Wu Ling mentioned to me that the craftsmanship of an old tailor cannot be bought with money.
"Manager Meng has really impressed me recently. Is he after money?"
The sarcastic tone was filled with the arrogance characteristic of a superior person.
I suddenly thought of the five hundred yuan that my uncle secretly gave me. I paused and said, "I'm just thinking about it."
