Chapter 293: You are in love, but I am interested

Zhong Xiaoqin is relatively simple, but she has a shrewd and alert Gu Jia by her side.

Yesterday she went home and told Gu Jia about her boss's reminder that she had to treat everyone after receiving her salary.

Gu Jia asked Zhong Xiaoqin to replay the scene, and then she keenly discovered the man's hidden meaning.

"Su Mingzhe is reminding you to treat your colleague to a meal. What he actually means is that you should ask him to have a meal with you."

Sure enough, this guy Su Mingzhe had ill intentions towards Zhong Xiaoqin from the very beginning.

It's only been over a month and he couldn't help but show his evil intentions.

Gu Jia told Zhong Xiaoqin her guess.

Since Su Mingzhe's true intentions are revealed, he wants to attack Zhong Xiaoqin.

So Zhong Xiaoqin’s situation is now quite dangerous.

According to Gu Jia, no matter how good the working environment and salary are, one cannot sell out one's personality and dignity.

Therefore, Gu Jia supports Zhong Xiaoqin to resign as soon as possible.

According to labor laws and regulations, employees who have not been converted to regular employees can leave the company within three days after submitting their resignation application, without having to wait for a month to apply for resignation.

As a result, Gu Jia thought she had explained the reason clearly, but her best friend Zhong Xiaoqin's reaction and choice surprised Gu Jia.

Zhong Xiaoqin, who has always been traditional and abides by the rules, unexpectedly said that she was unwilling to leave Ark New Energy just like that.

Of course, in the face of Gu Jia's astonishment, Zhong Xiaoqin also said that she didn't believe that Su Mingzhe would be the kind of man who coveted her beauty.

She thought that Gu Jia must have misunderstood Su Mingzhe and interpreted his words in this way.

Zhong Xiaoqin chose to believe in Su Mingzhe's character and insisted on staying in Ark New Energy.

A pair of good girlfriends and good friends had a disagreement.

Gu Jia didn't want to watch her good friend fall into the fire pit.

I am even more reluctant to get the order from Ark New Energy with the help of friends.

Therefore, after Zhong Xiaoqin expressed that she was unwilling to leave Ark New Energy and unwilling to leave Su Mingzhe, Gu Jia directly stated that she would not choose to continue cooperating with Ark New Energy.

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't expect that Gu Jia would be so stubborn that she would give up the opportunity to cooperate because of her own affairs.

For a moment, Zhong Xiaoqin felt both moved and guilty.

On the second day.

Zhong Xiaoqin invited Su Mingzhe to dinner just to find out whether he liked her or not.

In Zhong Xiaoqin's heart, both the boss's wife Wu Xu and the boss's mistress Lu Tingting are much more beautiful than herself.

Unless the boss is blind, he shouldn't fall in love with me.

Once I have asked clearly, I will stop having random thoughts.

Su Mingzhe was a little happy about Zhong Xiaoqin's invitation.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked a little conflicted.

This shows that Zhong Xiaoqin is still struggling inside.

This meal is not so easy to swallow.

However, Su Mingzhe still agreed without hesitation.

Whether you can swallow it or not is your own business.

If I don't swallow it this time, I don't know when I will find the next suitable opportunity.

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard her boss's agreement, she felt a little disappointed. She felt that her best friend was right. The boss she "admired" was actually a pervert who had some dirty thoughts about an ordinary girl like her.

Why would a man be so fickle? He already has a beautiful wife and an even more beautiful lover, so why would he lay his hands on an ordinary girl like me?

Such a man is really bad.

However, after the loss, Zhong Xiaoqin still had a little hope in her heart.

What if Gu Jia’s analysis of herself... is wrong?

Maybe the boss really just wanted me to treat him to a meal.

After all, the two of them often eat together in the company.

There is nothing wrong with two people eating together.

All the problems were analyzed by Gu Jia.

You can't blame your boss for something that didn't happen.

If that's the case, then you're judging others by your own standards.

Zhong Xiaoqin comforted herself, and then made an appointment with Su Mingzhe to go to Alice Restaurant for dinner after work.

The reason for choosing Alice Restaurant is that among the high-end restaurants that Zhong Xiaoqin knows, this restaurant is the most familiar to her.

Moreover, in Zhong Xiaoqin's opinion, a Michelin three-star restaurant is already a very high-end restaurant.

The next day.

Zhong Xiaoqin has always been absent-minded.

Shen Yue, who was working with her, found that Zhong Xiaoqin was not in good shape and thought that her relatives had come. She told her to keep warm and drink more brown sugar water.

It's almost time to get off work.

Su Mingzhe sent a message to Zhong Xiaoqin, asking her to pack up her work in advance and prepare to leave work.

Zhong Xiaoqin then became busy for a while.

Time to get off.

When Su Mingzhe walked out of the office, Zhong Xiaoqin's cheeks were flushed, as if she had made a mistake. She lowered her head, followed him, got into the elevator, and went to the garage together.

The car Su Mingzhe was driving today was a Land Rover Range Rover, which had a spacious space. However, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt that the air around her was pressing towards her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She nervously grabbed the seat belt with her little hands, and her palms were sweaty.

After the car stopped in the shopping mall parking lot.

Zhong Xiaoqin got out of the car as if she was escaping, hid beside a pillar, breathing heavily and looking around.

On the way here, she began to regret why she had invited her boss to dinner at Alice's Restaurant.

There are too many acquaintances here.

If she was recognized, how would she explain her relationship with Su Mingzhe?

Just when Zhong Xiaoqin was in a state of confusion, Su Mingzhe came to her side and put his windbreaker on her shoulders. This is an underground garage, and the temperature is relatively low.

As soon as he got out of the car, Su Mingzhe saw Zhong Xiaoqin hiding next to a pillar and thought she was cold.

Feeling the warmth of the windbreaker, Zhong Xiaoqin's nervous mood eased a little. She looked up at her boss and happened to see her boss's gentle eyes, which made her heart beat wildly.

This is the end of it.

If my boss really asked me to be his lover, I would definitely not refuse.

Zhong Xiaoqin knew that she had actually fallen a long time ago.

Countless nights, she dreamed of herself and her boss living together.

Soon, the two took the elevator to the first floor and walked to Alice's restaurant.

Zhong Xiaoqin took out her diamond membership card and asked for a private room.

Coincidentally, this private room was the same one where she and Gu Jia had dinner half a month ago.

Familiar places can stir up emotions.

After Zhong Xiaoqin sat down and ordered food with Su Mingzhe, she couldn't help but start talking about the last time she came to help Gu Jia.

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that there would be such a thing happening between Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia.

If I had known this earlier, I would have found an opportunity to act like a hero saving a beauty.

What a shame, what a great opportunity.

Soon the food and drinks arrived.

Well, it’s not necessarily the case in Western restaurants, where dishes are served one by one in a certain order.

If the guests request it, it is very likely that all the food and drinks will be served together.

The two of them chatted while eating.

Unconsciously, Zhong Xiaoqin started talking about Gu Jia's fireworks factory and her suspicion of Su Mingzhe.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Zhong Xiaoqin began to look at her boss boldly, staring straight at him with a blush on her cheeks:

"Gu Jia said...Boss...likes me. Is that true?"

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that the drunk Zhong Xiaoqin was so bold. Faced with such a question, he naturally answered without hesitation:
"That's right, Xiaoqin, I like you, do you like me?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was overwhelmed by her boss's answer. Surprised, she blurted out what was in her heart:

"I like you too. I like you too, boss."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Zhong Xiaoqin had such deep feelings for him. He reached out and grabbed the hand of this "little confused" assistant, and the two of them held hands tightly.

It was the first time that Zhong Xiaoqin had such close contact with a man. For a moment, her face became even redder, and her eyes were filled with little red hearts, floating towards the man.

"Let's go back."

As an experienced person, Su Mingzhe knew what Zhong Xiaoqin was thinking just by looking at her.

At this time, Su Mingzhe was not polite. Without waiting for her reaction, he took her hand, paid the bill, and instead of driving, he took a taxi and went straight to the Yipin Mansion.

Alice Restaurant is only a two-kilometer drive from Yipin Mansion.

Zhong Xiaoqin was still in a daze when she was pulled into the room by the man.

Two years ago.

Su Mingzhe bought this single apartment and gave it to Lu Tingting as a dating base for the two of them.

At the beginning of the month.

Lu Tingting gave the house to Zhong Xiaoqin.

Su Mingzhe carried the limp Zhong Xiaoqin into the bedroom. Looking at the photo of Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin placed beside the bed, he couldn't help but think:
"I don't know if Zhong Xiaoqin will give this house to Gu Jia again in the future."

……

Three hours later.

It was already after nine o'clock in the evening.

Su Mingzhe is still hesitating whether to perform Three Variations of Plum Blossoms.

Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly climbed up from the man's arms, picked up her phone and looked at it, her face pale:
"Oh no!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Su Mingzhe was a little puzzled by Zhong Xiaoqin's reaction and was about to ask her what was wrong.

Zhong Xiaoqin endured the discomfort and pulled the man out of bed, saying anxiously and nervously:

"Boss, it's too late. You should go home. If you don't go back, the boss's wife will definitely be worried."

"Wu Xu has been busy with work recently and comes home quite late. He might still be working overtime at this time."

Su Mingzhe was moved by Zhong Xiaoqin's kindness. He explained to her, and while feeling distressed, he hugged her in his arms and asked:

"Also, are you sure you don't want me to accompany you tonight?"

Tonight is not only the first time for the two of them, but also the first time for Zhong Xiaoqin.

Su Mingzhe wants to accompany Zhong Xiaoqin tonight.

"No need, Jiajia should be back soon."

Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated for a while and then told the real reason why she wanted the man to leave quickly.

Normally at this time, Gu Jia should be back soon.

This single apartment has only one bedroom. If Su Mingzhe stays to accompany her, Gu Jia will have no place to live.

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that this would be the reason that made Zhong Xiaoqin anxious.

Helplessly, he could only get up and tell Zhong Xiaoqin to have a good rest.

"Then I'll be leaving first. You can take a rest at home tomorrow. I'll come to see you after work."

"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road."

Zhong Xiaoqin was afraid that Gu Jia would come back and find out what was going on, so after sending the man away, she hurried back to the bedroom to clean up.

Just as she threw the sheets into the washing machine, the door was opened and Gu Jia, reeking of alcohol, staggered back from outside.
