I spent the night as if nothing had happened.

In the past, I might have found an opportunity to explain to Zhou Hanzhi, but now I suddenly feel that it is not necessary.

It's just a bowl of soup. As long as Zhou Hanzhi uses his brain a little bit, how can this trivial matter bother him?

I don't need to worry about this.

What's more, the timing is special now. If I go up to the pole again to "show courtesy", people might interpret it as having ulterior motives.

I might as well spend my time working.

But what I never expected was that Lin Xixi went to my uncle's ward instead of continuing to find trouble with me.

With her mother Zhao Hongmei.

When I opened the door to the ward, Zhao Hongmei was serving soup to her uncle enthusiastically. It was lunch time, and the small table in front of him was filled with four dishes and one soup, including chicken and fish, which was quite sumptuous.

Seeing me, Zhao Hongmei came over with a grin on her face and said with a smile: "Manager Meng, why are you here? Could it be that Xixi and I disturbed your work?"

"Auntie, you are thinking about my uncle, so I should thank you." I said calmly, trying my best to suppress the discomfort in my heart.

Then I heard Zhao Hongmei say: "Manager Meng, you are too polite. You usually take care of Xixi in the company. Isn't it reasonable for us to come and see Brother Jiao?"

Yes, mother and daughter came to visit my uncle without saying hello to me in advance. They were really considerate.

I held the braised fish on the table and said calmly: "The wound is healing. The doctor has reminded you not to eat hairy food. Uncle, have you forgotten?"

After saying that, I handed the braised fish to the nurse. When my eyes passed over Zhao Hongmei and Lin Xixi, both mother and daughter were stunned.

Zhao Hongmei reacted faster, clapped her hands and said, "Hey, look at my brain, it's really useless. Manager Meng, don't be angry. I just want to make up for Brother Jiao. I'm so sorry."

I reluctantly twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "Auntie, we appreciate your kindness, but the doctor has told me that my uncle should rest more."

Zhao Hongmei's expression paused. She probably didn't expect me to be so direct. She nodded and said, "What Manager Meng reminds me is, Xixi, don't you have something to do with Manager Meng? Why don't you go and talk to me outside?"

At Zhao Hongmei's reminder, Lin Xixi twitched her lips in embarrassment, glanced at me timidly, and asked, "Sister Nanxu, is that okay?"

Before I came here, I had expected that the mother and daughter might have other thoughts, so I was not surprised at all after hearing Lin Xixi's inquiry.

In the corridor, Lin Xixi pinched the corner of her clothes, looked at me cautiously, and whispered: "Sister Nan Xu, what happened yesterday was my fault, please don't argue with me, okay?"

Her voice was soft, and she lowered her eyes, looking like a wounded little white flower.

"It's okay. I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I understand."

I know Shen Hualan's temperament. As long as it is what she wants, even if it is the moon on the bottom of the sea, she will toss the people around her to get it over and over again. As time goes by, Lin Xixi will naturally not be able to bear it.

Wasn't it that fish soup was poured on it last night?

Lin Xixi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the reply, lowered her head and said, "To be honest, Sister Nanxu, I've been having a really hard time lately."

I glanced at the little girl and said straight to the point: "So what exactly does Manager Lin want to say to me?"

Lin Xixi raised her head in astonishment, her expression froze for a second, and then she said pitifully: "I know Sister Nanxu that you are good at cooking, and I want to learn how to make soup from you."

When I heard the word "making soup", I almost laughed out of anger.

It turns out that the key point is here.

"The most important thing about making soup is the heat, but simmering it slowly takes a lot of time." I saw through it without saying anything and said calmly, "But Manager Lin is also aware of the current situation of the company. I'm afraid I don't have the leisure to teach you step by step. ”

"Sister Nanxu, don't worry, I'm very relieved about the company's affairs," Lin Xixi said urgently, her voice raised a few decibels, "I will communicate with Hanzhi and promise to resolve it before the end of the year." How about dropping this problem?"

I frowned, and when my eyes fell on Lin Xixi's face, I happened to see the pride in those almond-shaped eyes.

It flashed by.

It was also at this moment that the suppressed nausea suddenly crept into my heart.

Just like a negotiation, Lin Xixi also knew in her heart that as long as she offered to help the company persuade Zhou Hanzhi, I would not be able to refuse her request.

As for me, although I am very disgusted with such a transaction, from the overall perspective, this is a very cost-effective business.

Of course, if Lin Xixi really wants to help.

Thinking of this, I softened my tone and said, "Mr. Zhou always distinguishes between public and private matters. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to bother Manager Lin about this matter?"

She gave this sentence to me yesterday, and now I give it back to her.

Lin Xixi probably saw something in my words, and the smile on her face froze obviously, and then she responded obediently: "Sister Nan Xu can teach me how to make soup even in her busy schedule. It doesn't matter if I go and persuade Han Zhi." Yes, and you also know, Sister Nanxu, that Han has a hard mouth but a soft heart."

Hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

I chewed the word silently and curled my lips helplessly.

How should I put it, after having been with Zhou Han for so long, I have always only seen his harsh words, but not the so-called soft heart.

His soft heart will probably only be given to Lin Xixi.

Lin Xixi was able to pull Zhao Hongmei over today. The mother and daughter just wanted to get a favor from last time. Judging from their attitude, if they didn't achieve their goal, they might come over to bother their uncle.

After thinking for a short time, I said harmoniously: "Today's work is almost done, it's okay to do it later."

Hearing this, Lin Xixi smiled happily, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said happily: "Sister Nanxu, you are so kind. I will go to the supermarket later. By the way, what ingredients should be prepared for crucian carp soup?"

When I heard the words "crucian carp soup", I couldn't help but curl up my palms, and then responded: "I will send the ingredients to you later."

Lin Xixi seemed to have taken a reassurance, and she became much calmer. After blinking her beautiful almond eyes, she asked tentatively: "Are you going to Sister Nanxu's house or mine?"

I was confused by Lin Xixi's question.

It seemed that she really risked her life for this bowl of crucian carp soup.

If she had been more careful, she would have guessed that my residence was the same place where she once lived in the same room as her current lover.

I was not interested in satisfying her snooping desire, so I responded: "Then let's go to Manager Lin's house."

Lin Xixi's eyebrows curved: "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for Sister Nanxu."

When it was time to get off work, I drove back to my residence. Standing in the familiar elevator, I stretched out my hand and silently pressed the floor where Lin Xixi was.

Lin Xixi's room number is perpendicular to my room number.

Even the door locks are of the same brand.

Inexplicably, my mood began to become complicated.

After pressing the doorbell, the door opened quickly, and Lin Xixi came up to her wearing a pink apron, a little too polite.

I stood mechanically at the door, and as soon as I stepped into the room with one foot, I froze on the spot.

Indoors, it is not a pink dress, but a familiar, frigid style.
