Chapter 179: What if I want to treat you to dinner?
"This is not within the scope of your work." Xie Xiaojuan said.
"I know, this is my personal relationship."
"I……"
"Mr. Xie..."
Xie Xiaojuan wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Zhou blocked her.
"I just want to help you, voluntarily, you don't owe me any favors." He said.
Xie Xiaojuan lowered her eyes, looked at the business card on the table, and finally reached out and took it.
"Thanks."
Lin Zhou finally smiled with satisfaction.
"You're welcome."
Xie Xiaojuan called the number on her business card and found out that she was indeed the best cardiac surgeon in the country.
He was the first doctor who said after meeting Xiaoya that it was not serious. He formulated a follow-up treatment plan, asked them to take good care of it, and even said a few words of comfort.
After hearing that Xiaoya's illness was cured, Li Sulan's sad face finally smiled.
After coming out of the consulting room, she thanked Xie Xiaojuan profusely. If others hadn't stopped her, she would have knelt down in the corridor of the hospital.
"You don't have to do this, it's just a matter of effort." Xie Xiaojuan said.
"The doctor wants you to be hospitalized. Then stay here and take good care of the doctor. Aren't you a salesperson? Then I will arrange for you to work in the store to do sales. You will have income, and your and Xiaoya's life will be stabilized."
Hearing that Xie Xiaojuan had helped her think about her life, Li Sulan really didn't know what to say.
"Xiaoya..." she called her daughter.
The timid little girl immediately realized what she was doing and hugged a big glass jar to the three aunts.
"These are all paper cranes folded by Xiaoya herself." Li Sulan explained to her daughter beside her.
"We came out of home with nothing on us. You gave us everything, and we can't even thank you.
Although Xiaoya is young, she has good hands and likes to do some crafts, so she asked me to teach her how to fold paper cranes. I folded a thousand paper cranes and gave them to my three aunts."
"We don't have anything else, that's it, don't dislike it."
Li Sulan said and smiled sheepishly.
How could they dislike it?
This jar of paper cranes is their best gift.
They have all been in despair, suffered pain, and crawled out with half their lives wasted. They are finally free and liberated. Now, they have the ability to help other people, and no one knows how happy they can be.
When she came out of the hospital, it was already getting late, and the dusk wind brought a slight chill to her face, fluttering Xie Xiaojuan's skirt.
It’s the beginning of autumn...
Xie Xiaojuan looked at the crumbling leaves on the tree, suddenly feeling thoughtful.
When I drove back to the company, I saw that the employees had left one after another.
"Mr. Xie..." They greeted Xie Xiaojuan.
Xie Xiaojuan nodded with them in response.
When I arrived at the office, I saw Lin Zhou still sitting at his desk.
"Still not leaving?" Xie Xiaojuan asked.
"There's still a little work left to do. Once it's done, I'll leave."
"Linzhou..."
Lin Zhou suddenly heard Xie Xiaojuan calling his name. He raised his head and saw her looking at him leisurely.
"Thank you." she said.
Lin Zhou smiled: "I said, it's all of my own free will, you don't owe me any favors."
"What if I want to treat you to dinner to thank you? Will you refuse?"
"How is that possible?" Lin Zhou suddenly stood up.
"The boss invites you to dinner, so I must give you face."
"Humph." Xie Xiaojuan laughed.
Still so talkative.
But...it doesn't seem that annoying anymore.
After she finished speaking, she went to the office to get her bag. Lin Zhou followed behind and said while putting on her clothes: "But I think we should make it clear first that I am doing this for you personally, and your invitation to dinner is also a private invitation.
This is a personal relationship between the two of us."
Xie Xiaojuan was walking in front carrying her bag. She heard his words but smiled without saying a word.
After getting in the car, Lin Zhou drove and asked her: "What do you want to eat?"
"have no idea."
Xie Xiaojuan has just arrived in the capital. She is so busy. She is either at the Commerce Bureau or working lunch every day. How can she know what delicious food there is in the capital?
"What do you recommend?" she asked Lin Zhou.
"I can't recommend it, but if you can trust me, you can leave it to me."
Lin Zhou was decisive and drove directly to the western restaurant.
The environment is dark, high-end, and expensive. There is a pianist playing the piano in the middle of the restaurant. It is romantic and elegant. Most of the people eating here are young couples.
It's self-evident what Lin Zhou was thinking about when he brought her here.
Forget it, Xie Xiaojuan was in a good mood today, so I left it to him.
"Mr. Lin."
A waiter brought up a menu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Zhou naturally ordered a meal.
"Cream of mushroom soup, steak, salt-baked prawns, cheesecake... As for wine, I'll drive, lemonade will be fine. Please give this lady a glass of sparkling wine, thank you."
He didn't ask Xie Xiaojuan what she was eating at all. Is this the attitude of eating with the general manager?
This is how a young couple orders food.
"I do not drink."
"But Fang Jing said that you have to drink a glass of wine every night to fall asleep."
…………
He inquired quite comprehensively, right?
"What else did Fang Jing say to you?"
"Nothing, nothing..."
At this time, the waiter served the food.
Lin Zhou picked up the prawns and peeled them for Xie Xiaojuan. It looked natural, as if it was the way to do it.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Lin Zhou put a shrimp in Xie Xiaojuan's bowl and asked.
"No, I just didn't expect that a pampered young master like you could be so good at taking care of others?"
"Who said I'm spoiled? If you give me a chance, I can take good care of you." Lin Zhou raised his head and smiled at Xie Xiaojuan.
"You said this again?"
Xie Xiaojuan frowned.
Lin Zhou immediately shut up.
Xie Xiaojuan picked up a shrimp and put it in her mouth, then took a sip of wine.
"Besides, who needs a man to take care of me? It would be nice if you don't cause me any trouble."
I remember when Liu Feng pursued her, he helped her work and brought her food. The words were all very exciting, but what was the result? What happened next?
She suffered a loss once and would never fall for the same person twice.
"Everyone is different. You can't eat a sour grape and just reject all the grapes in the world, right?" Lin Zhou said anxiously after hearing what she said.
Xie Xiaojuan took another sip of wine, smiled bitterly, and did not answer.
Lin Zhou glanced at her, frowning, then lowered his head and helped her cut the steak.
This meal was eaten quietly, but I don't know if it was because the environment was too ambiguous or because the piano music was too romantic. There seemed to be some inexplicable feelings in the calm air.
The weather was gradually turning into autumn, and after the two of them finished their meal, they realized that it had started to rain lightly.
Lin Zhou took off his coat and put it on Xie Xiaojuan.
