Chapter 180: Asking is useless!

Aunt Xu said to Lu Qiao: "Go back. You can rest assured leaving things here to me."

Lu Qiao smiled brightly: "I am ten thousand percent assured leaving it to you."

Lu Qiao, Sister Qiao, and Shao Le met halfway. The two didn't have time for small talk and rode their bicycles toward the neighborhood committee.

When they arrived at the unit, Old Hu, who had gone to the factory headquarters, hadn't returned, so Sister Qiao reported the situation of the Liu family to Old Huang.

At the same time, she also mentioned Lu Qiao's suggestion.

Old Huang pondered for a moment and felt this suggestion was feasible.

They called Lu Qiao and Shao Le, and the four of them held a meeting.

They decided to act quickly and solve this problem tomorrow.

Liu Xia was young, and although she was a bit simple-minded, she wasn't unaware of who was good to her.

Once the people who influenced her left, and even never met again, Liu Xia would slowly get better.

So as long as the Zhu family left, the problem would basically be solved.

The heavy rain they expected didn't come. Lu Qiao met Qin Hengzhi halfway.

The swallow nearby told Lu Qiao: 【Little Master, the old turtle says there will be no rain today or tomorrow. The heavy rain will come after that.】

Lu Qiao thanked Tao Tao for the weather forecast and asked it to go check on the little yellow dog's situation while it was at it.

Afterward, she looked at Qin Hengzhi with shining eyes: "I was just about to go find you."

Qin Hengzhi wasn't driving; he was riding a bicycle today.

The one exactly like hers.

"Good, let's go eat first."

This time they went to another state-run restaurant. It wasn't very far, and it took the two of them just over ten minutes to get there by bicycle.

There was a private room here, but it was on the first floor, just past the corridor.

The private room wasn't big, but it was kept very clean, and the waiters here had a very good attitude, greeting Qin Hengzhi enthusiastically when they saw him.

It looked like Qin Hengzhi was a frequent visitor to restaurants.

Lu Qiao didn't expect the dishes to be served so quickly; they were truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, clearly prepared well in advance.

The restaurant's signature dish was steamed pork with radish, served on a large platter. When it was brought out, it emitted an irresistible aroma of meat.

Steamed pork with radish, it lived up to being the chef's specialty.

The slices of pork belly were oily but not greasy and melted in the mouth, while the radish chunks underneath had absorbed the soup. With the rice, Lu Qiao actually ate two bowls.

The portions at this restaurant were large, and the steamed pork with radish and the seaweed egg drop soup were completely satisfying.

Having eaten their fill, Lu Qiao and Qin Hengzhi didn't occupy the room without leaving.

They really couldn't finish the remaining soup, so the waiter brought a canned bottle, and they poured it all in.

Qin Hengzhi went to the kitchen again to ask for half a cornmeal bun and soaked it in the bottle. Lu Qiao asked him curiously: "What are you doing?"

Qin Hengzhi put the canned bottle into his canvas bag and hung it on the handlebars, smiling faintly: "Feeding the little dog."

Lu Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Don't tell me the little dog you're feeding is one I know too."

Qin Hengzhi said obediently: "Good, I won't say!"

Lu Qiao: "..."

What should she do when the beauty is so obedient, making her want to pat his head?

It looked like he was going to feed the little yellow dog?

His information was truly well-informed.

Lu Qiao's eyes turned slightly, and before riding the bicycle, she suddenly asked him: "Do you know about the mine's surprise inspection?"

Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiao with smiling eyes and nodded: "I know. It was I who had Secretary Xiao Su notify the mine."

It really was him.

Did this person think he knew something others didn't, so he specifically helped her?

Why didn't he ask her himself?

If he asked... asking would be useless!

She wasn't prepared to tell him yet.

Qin Hengzhi was a bit close to Lu Qiao, his tone low and soft, carrying an imperceptible intimacy as he discussed with her: "Secretary Xiao Su told me that Chen Gou's little yellow dog is a particularly loyal little dog, never leaving its little master's side, and is currently accompanying Chen Gou in the backyard. Since we happen to have leftover soup and rice, how about we go to the hospital to feed the little dog first, and then go see a movie?"

Lu Qiao's eyes were enchanting, and she curled her lips, saying obediently: "Good, I'll listen to you!"

Qin Hengzhi only felt that Lu Qiao like this was like that beautiful tabby cat.

He reached out and gently rubbed her hair, which was black as a waterfall, yet also like fine silk.

Being close, that familiar fragrance lingered at Qin Hengzhi's nose. She really had gone to the lakeside.

But what did she go to the lakeside for?

And in the pitch-black night where you couldn't see your own hand?

Qin Hengzhi felt that perhaps the answer was actually very simple, so simple that he had already guessed it, but just didn't dare to believe it.

Qin Hengzhi rode his bicycle, and Lu Qiao followed. The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the staff hospital.

Lu Qiao actually saw Chen Ying carrying a nylon bag into the hospital gate.

No need to guess, Chen Ying was here to bring food to Chen Gou.

My god, had she softened her heart again?

Qin Hengzhi, however, headed straight for the backyard, opened the small door, and took Lu Qiao inside.

The little yellow dog ran over like a flash: 【Little Fairy, you actually came to see me! I'm doing very well; this place is much better than the Chen house.】

After all, it was a hospital, not a park, especially the backyard, which was overgrown with weeds and looked gloomy and desolate. Where was it better?

But clearly, the little yellow dog was staying very happily.

Just like Fan Xiaoyu, who would rather stay in the ward than go home.

The little yellow dog didn't expect Lu Qiao to bring a man, and it immediately became vigilant.

Dogs are loyal to their masters; to outsiders, dogs are actually wild beasts.

Lu Qiao said directly: "Don't be afraid, he came to bring you food."

There was a broken basin under the tree root, clearly the little yellow dog's food bowl.

The little yellow dog stopped being vigilant and immediately barked a few times obediently, wagging its tail hard.

Qin Hengzhi held down the dog's head, looked it up and down, and praised: "This little dog is so spiritual, it can actually understand what you say."

One person and one dog:...

He meant that literally, right?

Qin Hengzhi poured out the food from the canned bottle and said to Lu Qiao: "I have a retired police dog at home in Beidu, tall and fierce, but it was injured while performing a mission and then retired. It was my only playmate during my youth, and now it's a bit old, but its speed is still as fast as it was back then."

Lu Qiao teased: "How proud you must be, that it was your only playmate."

Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiao. His family was urging him to take Lu Lu Qiaoge back to Beidu sooner.

How should he tell her?

He had already tentatively brought up this topic, but Lu Lu Qiaoge didn't pick up on it.

That's right, although he had such a good relationship with Master Lu, until now, he hadn't formally visited his partner's family.

Qin Hengzhi felt a bit sad.

After leaving the backyard, Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao went to the cinema.

They watched a movie and said a lot of nonsense.

When it was time to go home, Lu Qiao asked Qin Hengzhi: "I'd like to consult you on a question, let's call it a hypothesis. That is, if I invite merchants from Hong Kong to our Jiangcheng to sell clothing, which department needs to approve it, and is there a precedent to follow?"

Qin Hengzhi thought for a moment: "Are you referring to the type like the Canton Fair?"

Lu Qiao nodded and shook her head: "Yes and no..." ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
