Chapter 147: I Believe Every Word You Say!

Thus, Director Zhou finally became completely cheerful.

He felt extremely relieved and said to the young people, "You young people chat. Haha, it's great, youth is truly great..."

He was laughing a bit too happily.

Zhen Xi picked up the paper again, looked at it carefully, and said to Lu Qiaoge, "The design is very beautiful. I'm seeing it for the first time. I'm going back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors the day after tomorrow, and then I'll be leaving Jiangcheng. Can your workers make a sample by tomorrow? If they can, you can come to the Swan Hotel to find me to discuss the next steps."

At this moment, Zhen Xi had actually recovered his appearance as a dashing young master.

Director Zhou felt that Lu Qiaoge should be transferred to the Foreign Trade Bureau; she was truly a talent.

Lu Qiaoge didn't know what Director Zhou was thinking, but she knew Zhen Xi must have guessed that she was the one who wrote the note.

She had intentionally let him know.

She, Lu Qiaoge, didn't have the habit of doing good deeds without leaving her name.

She said, "Mr. Zhen, don't worry, the sample will be made by tomorrow afternoon."

Zhen Xi nodded: "Good, we'll discuss the specific price when you come."

Lu Qiaoge pointed to the paper and said slowly, "Mr. Zhen, I have to take the draft back for the workers to make it. If Mr. Zhen wants to know more details, we can talk after I bring the sample tomorrow afternoon."

Except for Qin Hengzhi, no one could hear the subtext in Lu Qiaoge's words.

Of course, Zhen Xi could understand.

He also knew that tonight wasn't a good time to ask in detail.

Tomorrow would be fine; anyway, the gold watch had been found, so there was no rush.

Zhen Xi didn't rashly invite Lu Qiaoge to dance; to put it bluntly, he didn't dare.

He thought to himself, if Lu Qiaoge wanted to invite him to dance, she would take the initiative.

Besides, that Representative Qin with the superb temperament was talking to Director Zhou.

Forget about dancing.

Zhen Xi handed the paper to Lu Qiaoge and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow then!"

Then he said to Director Zhou, "I'm going back. Thank you for your company, Director Zhou."

*Oh my, he's finally leaving. *

Over there, Division Chief Xu knew Zhen Xi was leaving and stood up immediately to arrange personnel; he wanted to personally send him back safely.

Director Zhou didn't stay any longer either and said kindly to Lu Qiaoge, "You and Hengzhi are both very busy on weekdays; it's rare to have a relaxing time, so have fun..."

Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi left when the dance was nearing its end.

After they left, Cao Lanzhu, who had been silent all night, also left with her cousin-in-law and Lu Min.

Lu Min couldn't understand Cao Lanzhu at all; what exactly was she trying to do?

Meanwhile, Cao Lanzhu's cousin-in-law had a splitting headache when she got home. She took a painkiller and told her husband about the situation tonight.

Deputy Director Duan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Heaven knows how worried he had been all night.

In this era, no one could cover the sky with one hand; one had to learn to leave some leeway in everything one did.

This was Jiangcheng, not Beidu.

His family and friends were all here, so naturally, he had a lot to consider.

Thus, he went to talk to Cao Lanzhu: "Lanzhu, what exactly are you trying to do? Can you tell your cousin?"

Then he added, "No matter what you want to do, you must think thrice before you act. If you really go too far, even your grandfather won't be able to protect you."

Cao Lanzhu sneered: "For example?"

The cousin-in-law directly said, "For example, you were very good tonight; you didn't have a conflict with Lu Qiaoge. It's just that you shouldn't have been so cold to Lu Min; she's also a pitiful girl who lost her mother, just like you."

Cao Lanzhu: "I'm not stupid. Lu Qiaoge doesn't look like someone who is easily provoked; I still have that much self-awareness. Besides, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog; she's Brother Hengzhi's partner. If I go and make things difficult for her, wouldn't Brother Hengzhi hate me to death?"

Then she continued, "As for Lu Min, it's her own fault for not making good use of her opportunities. If she had ended up with Brother Hengzhi, would there even be any room for Lu Qiaoge?"

That woman Lu Min was indecisive and easy to deal with.

Deputy Director Duan was speechless: "Lanzhu, can you stop thinking about unrealistic things? You should study hard now so you can find a good job after you graduate."

Cao Lanzhu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "My uncle told me that as long as I can marry Qin Hengzhi and contribute to the Cao family, he will help me investigate what happened to my parents and my younger brother."

As soon as these words were out, the faces of Deputy Director Duan and his wife changed drastically. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, at the gate of the Lu family, Lu Qiao Ling had already entered the courtyard, while Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge were standing at the gate talking.

Qin Hengzhi was talking about Cao Lanzhu: "... Her parents and younger brother were in a car accident three years ago. It wasn't a collision with another vehicle; that jeep crashed into the Audit Section 1 office, the car exploded, and the Section 1 office was burned down. The losses that time were huge, but since the wife and grandson of Old Cao's second son were all dead, could they still make them pay? The fire destroyed many accounts and materials, so in the end, it could only be left unsettled."

Lu Qiaoge narrowed her eyes. 1975—if this was the same space-time as her previous life, she didn't know if there would be information about this.

Unfortunately, there was no such information in her memory.

Lu Qiaoge nodded and said, "She has no malice toward me and wants to talk to me, so let's talk. Don't worry about this; I can handle it myself. Let me tell you about Zhen Xi."

Although Qin Hengzhi was a bit melancholy that his little partner was too independent, hearing her mention Zhen Xi, he immediately focused his full attention on Lu Qiaoge.

Thus, Lu Qiaoge shamelessly and without any psychological burden attributed the information she knew to her own analysis, saying that she had given Zhen Xi a hint, the gold watch was indeed found, but doing good deeds without leaving a name wasn't her style.

Thus, she had intentionally let Zhen Xi see the three words "sunflower seed basket" she had written.

Qin Hengzhi's eyes were deep as he suddenly pulled the babbling Lu Qiaoge into the shadow of the wall.

His voice was low, carrying an inexplicable emotion, sounding somewhat hoarse and provocative. The palpitation in his heart didn't decrease but instead grew stronger: "My Comrade Xiao Lu is a bit wasted in the Neighborhood Office. Do you want to try a position in the Public Security Bureau?"

The twilight was like ink, and Lu Qiaoge could clearly perceive the warmth of Qin Hengzhi's breath.

He clearly didn't believe her nonsense, but at this moment, the distance between them was too close—so close that she could count the shadows cast by his eyelashes, so close that the night wind brought the clear scent of pine from him, so close that their breaths were ambiguously intertwined.

So close that Qin Hengzhi raised his hand and gently stroked Lu Qiaoge's face, his thumb softly rubbing her delicate cheek. In the night, he whispered, "Comrade Xiao Lu, I believe every word you say!"

Lu Qiaoge only felt that the night wind was very gentle. She raised her hand and gently tugged at Qin Hengzhi's collar, bringing him closer to her. Her breath carried a provocative fragrance. Lu Qiaoge didn't speak, but one could see the joyful smile in her shining eyes.

Clearly, she liked this trust he had in her!

Just then, Meng Xia's voice came from the courtyard: "Where is your second sister?"

Lu Qiaoge took the opportunity to grab Qin Hengzhi's waist—hmm, not bad, the feel was excellent.

Then she pushed him away, turned around, and walked into the courtyard with light steps. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
