Through Thick and Thin

Lu Chuiqing was stunned for a few seconds, then shook her head hastily: "This is so embarrassing, don't trouble you, I will take a taxi very quickly!"

"I'm staying at the Royal Garden Hotel, just drop by." Xiao Zhan gestured to other passengers in the elevator who were still waiting to go downstairs, "Come in."

Seeing that the whole elevator was waiting for him, Lu Chuiqing had no choice but to go in with the suitcase, and followed Xiao Zhan to the parking lot in a daze.

A commercial vehicle was already waiting there, and a driver in his 40s came down to greet Xiao Zhan.Lu Chuiqing stood in place dragging the suitcase in embarrassment, and said, "Mr. Xiao, I really don't need it."

Xiao Zhan got into the car: "Okay, come on."

The appearance of the cloud is calm and the wind is light, and the words are neither light nor heavy, but there is an unquestionable taste inexplicably.Lu Chuiqing's heart skipped a beat, she could only put the suitcase away and sit up, thanking Xiao Zhan nervously and gratefully.

During the whole driving process, Lu Chuiqing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He sat on the comfortable leather seat of the business car, as if he was punished to sit on a small bench when he was a child, and he was upright.

Lu Chuiqing was also very awkward, he also wanted to relax, but this was his car after all, and his big boss's nephew, who was also the big boss, was sitting on the side, he was afraid that if his posture was relaxed, the other party would think it was too casual.

Lu Chuiqing couldn't help slandering secretly in her heart. According to the actual age, Xiao Zhanzhen is about the same age as him now. If he were to be placed in school, he would be a senior who can still hook shoulders, but why did he come to Xiao Zhan's place? , His momentum has lost so much?

However, if he hadn't had that car accident, what would he be doing at Xiao Zhan's age?

Waiting for Chen Yuan to come home every day to raise their children.Chen Yuan likes children, and told him that he wants at least two children. When the children go to primary school and are almost able to support themselves, he will probably have a second child.

Looking at the streets and tall buildings passing by outside the window, Lu Chuiqing took a deep breath.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Jintai Hotel where Lu Chuiqing was staying. Lu Chuiqing took out her suitcase from the trunk, went back to the window, bent down and said to Xiao Zhan: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for seeing me off, you are here tonight Are you free? Let me treat you to dinner!"

After rubbing the boss's car, I must express my gratitude. Xiao Zhan is willing to appreciate it.

Xiao Zhan was using a capacitive pen to write something on the tablet on his lap. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and replied, "Okay."

Lu Chuiqing thought that Xiao Zhan seemed to be a little cold on the surface, but in fact he seemed to be a very good boss. He was not only willing to drop him off, but also willing to accept his invitation as a small researcher.

Lu Chuiqing asked for the contact information of Xiao Zhan's driver, and said goodbye, "Then Mr. Xiao, please go slowly."

The commercial vehicle gradually drove away, and Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the middle seat, turned on his mobile phone, found a number in the address book marked as "Manager Wu of Runtian", and dialed it.

Soon, the other party connected, with a warm and respectful voice: "Hello, Mr. Xiao? Hello, hello."

"Hi Manager Wu, a researcher from my second uncle's company has come to your company for research these two days, please arrange for someone to receive him."

"Okay, okay, no problem, Mr. Lu, right? I'll make arrangements right away, don't worry."

After returning to the hotel, Lu Chuiqing took a nap and went to Yuegou Co., Ltd. in the afternoon.

The research went smoothly, and Lu Chuiqing also got some important first-hand information. He stayed at Yuegou's company until after five o'clock in the afternoon. Before he left, he didn't forget to ask the people from the other company if there was anything nice nearby. restaurants.

Lu Chuiqing specifically asked Xiao Zhan's driver if he knew what Xiao Zhan liked to eat, whether he smoked or drank alcohol, if he smoked, what kind of cigarettes he smoked, and if he drank alcohol, what kind of wine he drank.Subordinates invite their superiors to dinner. These things should basically be inquired about, and they cannot wait for the boss to say it himself.

In the end, Lu Chuiqing made a reservation for the restaurant, and asked the driver to bring Xiao Zhan over at his usual meal time, and he would wait for him at the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan's driver turned around and reported the question Lu Chuiqing asked to Xiao Zhan.

This really has nothing to do with Lu Chuiqing, some people will indeed inquire about Xiao Zhan's affairs from the driver, even relatively private matters, so it is a rule for him to be a driver to report all questions about Xiao Zhan to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan just nodded after hearing this, leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and let out a soft and deep smile from his lips.

At around six o'clock, Xiao Zhan arrived at the restaurant arranged by Lu Chuiqing.It was a classically decorated Chinese restaurant with an elegant and refined style. It was quite famous in this city, and it happened to be the place where Xiao Zhan often came to D City.

Lu Chuiqing was waiting at the entrance. He specially changed his clothes, obviously tidying up carefully.

After making preparations, Lu Chuiqing was not so nervous when facing Xiao Zhan alone, and said generously after taking a seat: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that the employees of Yuegou Company said that this restaurant is very good, so I decided to order it on my own." location, I don’t know if you like it or not.”

Xiao Zhan: "Very good, I've been here."

"Really?" Lu Chuiqing smiled, "As long as you like it."

Probably not long after graduating from school, Lu Chuiqing still has a campus atmosphere all over his body, especially when he smiles. His eyes are clear and bright, and his appearance is young, which is very attractive.

Xiao Zhan's expression didn't change much, but there seemed to be a dark smile in his eyes, and he looked in a good mood.

Lu Chuiqing is actually a person who likes to chat with others while eating, but he dare not be so familiar in front of Xiao Zhan, he eats in a proper manner, and occasionally asks some ordinary but not very casual questions.

When he was almost finished eating, Lu Chuiqing suddenly received a call. He saw that the call was from someone from Runtian Co., Ltd. who was going tomorrow. He was afraid that there was something urgent, so it would not be good if he didn't answer it. He could only talk to Xiao Zhan said sorry, got up and went to the restaurant lobby.

Lu Chuiqing: "Hi, hello, I'm Lu Chuiqing from Zhongming Fund."

"Hello, Mr. Lu." The other party's voice was very enthusiastic, "I'm sorry to disturb you during the meal time, is it convenient to ask where you live now? And what time is it convenient tomorrow morning? We can send someone to pick you up."

Lu Chuiqing was stunned for a few seconds, feeling puzzled and a little surprised, thinking that this Runtian stock is really good, even a small researcher like him would arrange someone to receive him specially.

Lu Chuiqing: "It's okay, I'm very close here, just take a taxi there, don't bother you."

"Where is it, no trouble, our company has always attached great importance to your company's research. Mr. Lu, you have come all the way, we must treat you well."

Lu Chuiqing's kindness was hard to resist, so she had to tell them the hotel where she stayed and the time of departure tomorrow.Just after hanging up the phone, the collar on Lu Chuiqing's neck suddenly vibrated slightly.

Lu Chuiqing subconsciously covered her neck, and then suddenly remembered that she was busy talking with the people from Yuesgou and looking for a restaurant in the afternoon, so she forgot to charge the neck ring.

His next susceptibility period is in May, and the concentration of pheromones will gradually increase after entering April, which is why Lu Chuiqing must wear a neck ring on business trips.

Generally, the electronic neck ring can stand by for about half an hour when the first vibration reminds that the battery is too low. They will finish eating soon. It only takes more than ten minutes to drive back to the hotel from here, which should be barely enough.

Lu Chuiqing gathered her collar, went back to the table and sat down.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan quickly answered another call, probably about work matters, and talked for a while.

After paying the bill, Lu Chuiqing looked at the numbers on the bill, took a deep breath, and suppressed the sadness in her heart that she was not rich enough.

Xiao Zhan's driver, Uncle Wang, was already waiting outside the restaurant, and he planned to take Lu Chuiqing back by the way.Anyway, I have been in the car once, so Lu Chuiqing's refusal is a bit of a gesture, so I can only pray in my heart that the standby time of my neck ring will be longer after getting in the car.

Just a few minutes after the car drove away, Lu Chuiqing's neck ring vibrated slightly for the second time. This time, it was true that there were only 10 minutes left before it would automatically shut down.

Lu Chuiqing was a little restless. When the battery of the neck ring is low, the barrier against pheromones is not so tight. The space in the car is so small. If his pheromone smell overflows and is smelled by Xiao Zhan or Uncle Wang, That would be rude.

Omegas have lived surrounded by their own pheromones for a long time, and have long been less sensitive to their own pheromones.Even if it really overflowed, it would be difficult for Lu Chuiqing to smell it, but it's not the case for others.

Lu Chuiqing carefully and nervously observed the reactions of Xiao Zhan and Uncle Wang, one of them was looking at the tablet computer all the way, the other was concentrating on driving, there was no expression on their faces, they probably didn't smell it.

Seeing that the road turned a corner and it was the Jintai Hotel, Lu Chuiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhan's finger slid on the computer screen lightly, his eyes turned, and his eyes fell lightly on Lu Chuiqing.

In fact, he had already smelled a smell.

It was a faint, fresh and sweet aroma that lingered in the carriage, especially from around.This smell is like a moist and juicy peach, slowly floating around the nasal cavity, with a provocative little hook, making the air in the car a little warm and humid.

The driver, Uncle Wang, was a Beta who couldn't smell pheromones, so he didn't respond naturally. As an Alpha, Xiao Zhan was born very sensitive to Omega pheromones.

The car finally stopped at the gate of Jintai Hotel, Lu Chuiqing breathed a sigh of relief, got out of the car, said goodbye to Xiao Zhan, and hurried back to her room.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Chuiqing's neck ring gave out a notification sound that the battery was exhausted, and it was completely shut down.Lu Chuiqing took off the neck ring, put it on the charging base, sprayed the soothing spray on the back of her neck a few times, and then lay down comfortably on the bed.

Thinking of going to Runtian Co., Ltd. to collect data tomorrow and then having a relatively relaxing weekend, Lu Chuiqing turned around on the bed happily.

The next day's investigation went very smoothly. The people from Runtian Co., Ltd. were very enthusiastic about Lu Chuiqing. They sent three people and an eight-seater business car to pick him up at the hotel. The person who received him was also a department manager. Even the general manager came.As long as it does not involve commercial secrets, the other party will answer any questions you ask, with full sincerity.

The people of Runtian Co., Ltd. were so enthusiastic that even Lu Chuiqing was a little surprised. Before leaving, the manager even planned to invite Lu Chuiqing to dinner and sightseeing. Lu Chuiqing couldn't bear this kind of hospitality, and quickly said that he had other arrangements.

After seeing off Lu Chuiqing, Manager Wu of Runtian Co., Ltd. gradually put down the smile on his face, returned to his office a little tired, sat down on the office chair, and let out a sigh of relief.

The assistant poured him a cup of tea and asked curiously, "Manager, are you sure that Zhongming Fund will increase its position in our company?"

"There's nothing wrong with the horoscope." Manager Wu took a sip of tea, "It's just a grassroots researcher who came to investigate. It's not certain whether he can enter the pool. How can he have such power."

The assistant slightly surprised: "Then why do we..."

The assistant didn't go on with the rest of the conversation, and Manager Wu went on to say: "President Xiao greeted me in advance, do you think I can receive him well? Even the boss above is very concerned about his face. The researcher surnamed Lu... Look at that, is there not enough people around Mr. Xiao? But as a researcher, this is the first time I have seen him."

At this time, Lu Chuiqing didn't know what Manager Wu was thinking. After dinner, he returned to the hotel and planned to sort out the materials while it was still early. He was in a good mood and thought that he could go to bed before eleven o'clock today.

What he didn't expect was that a piece of sudden news directly disrupted his plan to sleep well tonight.

The message was from Uncle Wang, and there were only a few short words on it: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Xiao asked me to tell you, please pack up and go out at nine o'clock in the evening, and I will pick you up to the Royal Garden Hotel."
