I didn't dare to stay for one more second, so I let go of her hand holding mine and ran out of her house as if I was running away.
Until I walked out of the community, I was still in shock.
After all this trouble, it was already 11:30 at night when I returned to my residence. I was so tired that I fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, I was discussing the tender document with Gao Sheng in the office, and I suddenly received a call from Zhou Mo.
It seems that the contact between me and her has become more and more frequent recently. At first it was because of work matters, and later it seemed that we were related to some things in life.
After the call was connected, Zhou Mo's voice came over: "Chen Feng, are you okay at noon?"
"What's up?"
"I'd like to treat you to a meal at noon. Do you have time?" She was a woman who didn't mess around and said straight to the point.
"Dinner?" I paused and said, "Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?"
"Just tell me whether you will come or not?"
"The key is why you invited me to dinner! It's unfounded and a bit strange," I said.
"An Lan's matter."
My heart suddenly tightened, and my tone suddenly became serious: "What? Can you help me?"
"If you want to know, you can come out at noon."
Having said that, I definitely have to go. As long as it's An Lan's business, I'm willing to go up mountains of swords and into seas of fire.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Sheng looked at me with squinted eyes and said, "Did you call on that Sunday again?"
"Which Sunday?" I didn't react for a moment.
"Zhou Mobai, her name is also strange. From now on, I will call her Sunday." After saying this, he laughed.
I also smiled subconsciously, nodded and said, "I don't know what her parents were thinking about giving her such an unreliable name."
"That's right," Gao Sheng said with a mischievous smile on his face, "I think you guys have been in contact quite frequently recently? Why did she ask you to do this if she hasn't already resigned?"
I didn't tell Gao Sheng because of An Lan's matter, because even I didn't know how she could help me?
I shrugged and said jokingly: "Maybe you think I'm handsome!"
Gao Sheng smiled from ear to ear and said, "This Sunday, I feel like she is like a blooming flower."
"How to say?"
"Don't you think she looks like a sunflower?"
I looked at Gao Sheng suspiciously, and he laughed and said: "Sunflower, look for the sun."
At noon, I took the car to the restaurant I had agreed with Zhou Mo. It was a Western restaurant with an elegant environment.
The waiter led me to the corner by the window, and Zhou Mo, who was already sitting there, waved to me.
When I walked to the table, she stretched out her right hand and made a gesture to sit down.
I sat down opposite her, looked around and took stock.
She stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon, then picked it up and took a sip with her mouth. Her expression was calm and composed, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Can you tell me something first? Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?" I wanted to find out first because I was a little confused about this woman.
"Eat." She raised her face and her tone was very calm.
The menu was delivered to me very quickly. It was very thick and beautifully printed, and each dish looked very tempting.
Of course the price is also very attractive!
While I was looking through it, she said calmly: "The caviar here is pretty good, you can have some."
I took a look at the price, and it was 360 yuan for a small portion of caviar, and it was only a tiny bit.
Other dishes are also surprisingly expensive, and I really don't want her to spend so much money.
After buttoning up the menu, I turned to the waiter and asked, "Are there any noodles? Give me one."
"Excuse me, sir, do you want pasta?" the waiter bent slightly and asked politely.
I said with an embarrassed look: "It's just small noodles, are there any?"
"This" waiter suddenly looked at me awkwardly.
Zhou Mo raised his pretty face and said, "What are you doing? This is a Western restaurant, how can there be noodles!? Are you worried that I won't have the money to pay?"
I touched my nose and said, "I don't like Western food, I can't get used to it."
I'm telling the truth, the bunch of things on the menu look exquisite, but there really isn't anything that suits my taste.
To put it bluntly, the food in this kind of place is only of a high standard, and the food is often flashy and not as substantial as a bowl of noodles, which makes it comfortable to eat.
Zhou Mo thought for a moment, grabbed the handbag next to him and said, "I didn't know you didn't like Western food. I'm sorry, why don't you go to another restaurant?"
Changing places all of a sudden is so inappropriate and embarrassing.
I waved my hand and said, "No, it's more important, so I won't eat."
But Zhou Mo burst out laughing: "Oh, I'm just asking you to have a meal, what else do you have to talk about? Don't be so nervous."
"Didn't you tell me about An Lan's affairs?"
Zhou Mo seemed to suddenly remember and said, "Oh, yes, but we'll talk about this later. Eat something first. I'll order you some pasta."
Before I could say no, she had already told the waiter.
After the waiter left with the menu, she suddenly remembered something, picked up a white paper bag from beside her, handed it to me and said, "By the way, this is for you."
"What?"
"You'll know after you open it and take a look."
I took it and opened it immediately. Inside was a gray scarf, which looked very fine in terms of wool quality.
"Why don't you give me a scarf? I don't want it." As I said that, I returned the bag to her.
"Take it! This is for a man. I knitted it for him before, but as you all know, no one will give it to me now, so I'll give it to you." A trace of sadness flashed across her eyebrows.
I still insisted on giving it back to her and said, "Then I can't take it either. What's the point of accepting your gift for no reason!"
She chuckled and said, "It's not like I have to have a reason. If I really need a reason, it would be to thank you."
"Thank me?" I smiled bitterly, "Because of our company, you lost your job, and you still thank me?"
Zhou Mo sighed softly, and while stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, he said with some sadness: "I don't blame you for this, it's my own fault, it's because I'm too grateful to you anyway, and last night, I
I know you picked me up from the bar."
I sneered and said, "No need to thank me, it's just a little effort, but your wine quality is too bad!"
"I didn't do anything to you, did I?" She scratched her head and asked confused and a little embarrassed.
"No, but you are really not suitable for drinking." After a pause, I added, "It is very unsafe for a girl to drink so much alone at night. Please be careful in the future."
"It's very unsafe." She nodded and admitted.
"I mean, men around me are very unsafe." I emphasized.
"Huh?" Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "What do you mean?"
"What do you think?" I said with a bad smile, "Some people turn into perverts after drinking. I almost couldn't leave last night."
"No! I didn't do anything to you, did I?" Zhou Mo suddenly said with an embarrassed look on his face.
I chuckled and said, "I run fast, I don't know if I run slower."
Zhou Mo scratched his hair and smiled sheepishly: "I'm making you laugh, but this is actually the first time I've drunk so much."
"Is this really the first time?" I said in a more serious tone.
"Really, I seldom drank alcohol before, almost never."
I didn't say anything, but looked at her with an "I don't believe it" look.
She saw my disbelief and explained forcefully: "Really, yesterday was because I was in a bad mood and I was going back to Beijing."
