Falling tonight

"Miss Zhao, what a coincidence."

Gao Songqing waited in line for a long time. He had just bought buns for Xiao Xinyun according to the instructions of Mr. Mu, and was about to walk out when he turned around and ran into Zhao Rou's eyes.

Suddenly seeing Zhao Rou appearing here, Gao Songqing was stunned for a second, and subconsciously hid the hand holding the bun behind his back.

Seeing the small movements on Gao Songqing's hands with sharp eyes, Zhao Rou's smiling mouth stiffened slightly.

"Assistant Gao, morning."

Zhao Rou raised her head and nodded at him, intending to say hello.

Gao Songqing murmured in his heart, he usually followed Mu Zhou, could it be that Mu Zhou was also nearby?
But she remembered that he didn't like Chinese breakfast like steamed buns.

Gao Songqing glanced at Xu Xingbao next to Zhao Rou, then looked at Li Sijin not far away, walked to her side in a few steps, and said politely, "Miss Zhao, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Mr. Mu asked him to buy steamed buns for Xiao Xinyun early in the morning. Was he trying to draw a clear line with Miss Zhao?

If Miss Zhao was really abandoned by Mr. Mu, she wouldn't pester him and ask him to go to Mr. Mu to plead for mercy, right?

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Gao Songqing's mind, and he decided to run first.

"Okay, Assistant Gao will go and get busy first."

Zhao Rou didn't want to meet Mu Zhou here by chance. The two were having a bad time in the morning and wished Gao Songqing could leave quickly.

Seeing Gao Songqing walking towards a Maybach at the door, the back door of the car opened automatically, and a slender and white woman's hand stretched out from inside, took the breakfast bag in Gao Songqing's hand, and then disappeared.

The car door was then closed by Gao Songqing.

Gao Songqing sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove off the narrow road with a row of exhaust gas.

Zhao Rou's hand was held by Xu Xingbaola.

"Arou, is there a woman in the car?"

Xu Xingbao followed Zhao Rou's line of sight and saw the scene where Gao Songqing handed something to the people in the car.

"probably."

Zhao Rou withdrew her eyes, lowered her head and bit the straw in the cup.

"What do you mean it should be? That's right. Isn't this senior assistant Mu Zhou's personal assistant? He doesn't work in the company at this time. Could it be that Mu Zhou asked him to come here specifically to buy buns for the woman yesterday?"

Xu Xingbao asked another series of questions.

Zhao Rou bit the straw and took a sip of soy milk without answering Xu Xingbao.

Therefore, the buns Gao Songqing bought were not for Mu Zhou, but for Xiao Xinyun.

No wonder he hid the bag behind him just after seeing him, haha.

As soon as this woman came back, Mu Zhou became so caring.

It was a hotel companionship, and Gao Songqing was specially asked to queue up to buy breakfast for her.

well.

Xu Xingbao saw that Zhao Rou didn't say a word, just staring at the glass bottle in front of him in a daze, and felt sorry for her for a moment.

"I think she's very fond of green tea. Maybe she fell down on purpose yesterday to make Mu Zhou feel sorry for her. Maybe she ordered someone to send out the photo in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Rou looked at her and said, "Okay, we have nothing to do with her affairs."

Muzhou said he would explain to her about the photo.If it was really Xiao Xinyun who did it, would he still explain to her?

After Li Sijin bought the xiaolongbao, the three of them sat in the shop and ate slowly.

In order to maintain his reserved persona, Xu Xingbao swallowed four or five buns, then watched the steaming, fat, white buns lying on the table, unable to stuff them into his mouth, and felt crazy and regretful.

You must not come to a place like this with Li Sijin next time!

After breakfast, Li Sijin sent the two of them back to the studio.

When Zhao Rou got out of the car, she heard Li Sijin's instructions.

"Xiaorou, have a good rest."

The car window glass was lowered, Zhao Rou bent down and gave him a reassuring smile through the car door, "I understand, you can go back."

For the whole morning, Zhao Rou felt dizzy and her whole body was weak.I can't even look at the papers on my desk.

Insomnia is really powerful.

When it was time to get off work at noon, Xu Xingbao knocked on the door of Zhao Rou's office.

"let's go and eat?"

Zhao Rou was half-reclining on the chair and dozing off. When she heard Xu Xingbao's voice, she stood up holding on to the desk and said, "Go ahead. I'm very sleepy. Let's go and lie down for a while."

Xu Xingbao "tsk-tsk" twice, closed the door and went out.

Before he even took a step, the cell phone on the table rang.

I took a look at my phone and saw someone I hadn't contacted in a long time.

Mu Zhou’s mother, Qin Qin.

Zhao Rou stared at the ringing phone for a while, unable to imagine the purpose of Qin Qin calling her. When the ringtone was about to hang up automatically, she pressed the answer button.

"Zhao Rou, long time no see."

Qin Qin's tone on the phone was gentle, and she couldn't hear any special emotions.

"Aunt Qin, what's the matter with your phone call?"

Zhao Rou asked straightforwardly.

Qin Qin most likely came to talk to her about Mu Zhou's scandal in the middle of the night.

"It's nothing. I just haven't contacted you for a long time. I want to ask you out for a meal. Are you free?"

Zhao Rou couldn't guess why Qin Qin was looking for her, and she was not in the mood to deal with it now, so she found a euphemistic way of saying it.

"I'm sorry, auntie, I've been busy lately, maybe I'll do it some other time."

Qin Qin paused on the phone for a while, then said with a smile, "Actually, I have something to ask you, so I want to have dinner with you. Can you come out? I'll be downstairs in your studio."

what?
Zhao Rou was stunned.

How can she help Qin Qin?

What needs to happen is that Qin Qin needs to wait for her downstairs in person.

Zhao Rou hesitated for only five seconds before agreeing, "Okay."

She and Qin Qin met because of business, and the previous meetings were quite pleasant. Zhao Rou didn't want to cause trouble between Mu Zhou and Qin Qin.

In the upper class, the most taboo thing is to make enemies. Learning to examine moderation is the most basic requirement.

What's more, the 'Several Degrees' studio inevitably has to deal with ladies like Qin Qin.

In short, don't rush to curry favor with them, just don't make enemies.

Zhao Rou took the elevator to the underground parking lot and saw a black extended business car not far away. There was a bodyguard in black and sunglasses standing next to the car.

She walked forward and the bodyguard opened the car door for her and motioned for her to get in the car.

"Zhao Rou, come up quickly."

The well-maintained Qin Qin sat in the back row, smiling and waving to Zhao Rou.

It's impossible that Qin Qin didn't know about last night's scandal. Now that she's so kind to her, what does she want to do?
Zhao Rou was thinking as she got into the car, and at the same time responded to Qin Qin with a standard smile.

"Aunt Qin."

After the bodyguard got on the bus, the driver started the commercial vehicle and drove out for a while before merging into traffic.

In the car, Qin Qin eagerly held Zhao Rou's hand and asked her how she was doing recently.

Zhao Rou responded honestly, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Qin Qin didn't seem to know about Han Zihao's disappearance.

At this time, the commercial vehicle stopped.

Qin Qin brought Zhao Rou to a Western restaurant with a quiet and elegant atmosphere. (End of chapter)
