Chapter 208

Li Xiuying was busy simmering rice.

If nothing else, she had to get the rice cooked first.

Her family is a dual-income household, and they also have subsidies from their parents and parents-in-law. She herself works at Jiangcheng's First Department Store, but even so, they can't often eat rice. Looking at the remaining rice, she thought in her heart, the rice was brought by Hengzhi, should she ask him later if he can give the rice to her?

As for buying it with money, that can't be mentioned.

Then she heard Zhou Shanshan say these words.

She stood up, endured her temper, and still said in a low voice: "Zhou Shanshan, don't always be so sarcastic when you speak, and what 'Lu Qiaoge does it better'...

You are older than her, why does she do better than you? Isn't that just a roundabout way of saying her family is poor and she hasn't seen the world? Really, Zhou Shanshan, I'm telling you my true thoughts because I don't treat you as an outsider.

The few of them are comrades-in-arms, but it's not an ironclad relationship; no one has to interact with anyone. Only a blind person couldn't see that Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge have a good relationship, and only a fool would think they could take her place!"

Li Xiuying was sharp-tongued, and her words came out like a machine gun, not giving Zhou Shanshan a chance to react.

Zhou Shanshan was furious, tears fell immediately, and she said loudly and aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law Xiuying, I was just saying Lu Qiaoge does better than me, isn't this praising her? Why are you bringing up so many useless words? I know, you look down on me and think I'm inferior to Zhang Qiaozhi in every way."

Before Li Xiuying, whose face had changed, could refute, Zhou Shanshan wiped away her tears aggrievedly, stomped her feet, and said: "Sister-in-law Xiuying, time will tell, after a long time you will know what kind of person I am. I'll peel the potatoes, really, if I had known, I wouldn't have said nonsense."

Li Xiuying stared at Zhou Shanshan, dumbfounded.

She felt that as a salesclerk at the department store, she had already been trained to be straightforward and daring.

She also knew Zhou Shanshan wasn't a pushover.

But she once again clearly realized the true meaning of the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover."

Don't look at Zhou Shanshan as delicate; when it comes to this aspect, she actually had to concede defeat.

No wonder Liu Dahui was being eaten alive.

Li Xiuying slapped her own mouth.

Serves you right, for having a loose mouth!

Zhou Shanshan curled her lips, smiled happily, and said to Li Xiuying: "Sister-in-law Xiuying, Brother Hui said the rice you simmer is especially delicious, especially the scorched rice, which is simply a masterpiece. You are so amazing, can you teach me in a moment?"

Li Xiuying really felt a lump in her throat.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly closed her mouth.

Not far away, several jeeps stopped one after another, and then people got out of the cars.

When one of them got out, Li Xiuying's eyes widened in shock.

Isn't that Zhang Qiaozhi's second older brother, Zhang Lixue?

What shocked her was that there was also a very handsome young man in a pink shirt and tie among them.

Who is this person?

How can he still wear a pink shirt and a tie?

You have to know that no one dresses like this now.

Although he looked quite good, it was also quite scary.

She suddenly remembered the Hong Kong trade fair held a few days ago.

Li Xiuying didn't know that Lu Qiaoge had organized the trade fair, but she heard Wang Zhiguo say that Hengzhi's partner had been borrowed by the trade group.

Li Xiuying is a salesclerk and is very good at reading people. She felt that this person wasn't from Jiangcheng, but he didn't look like a southerner either.

He actually looked very much like the Hong Kong people her colleagues talked about.

But at this time, Li Xiuying didn't speak because she saw Chen Feng, who was fishing by the river, put down his fishing rod and take the initiative to greet them, obviously also very surprised.

Director Zhou was also surprised: "You... Old Chen, you are here too?"

The next moment, he saw Lu Qiaoge.

He saw Liu Dahui walking over again. Oh my, Hengzhi must be here too. So it turns out they came out to play.

After some pleasantries, they also introduced Zhen Xi.

Zhen Xi did glance at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge also greeted him with a smile.

Zhen Xi didn't walk forward, just stood on a flat place and scanned the scenery.

It didn't seem like he was very interested either.

Over there, Li Xiuying hurriedly pulled Lu Qiaoge over. She knew Dong Xiangqin had told her about Liu Dahui, and as for Zhou Shanshan talking about Lu Qiaoge just now, Li Xiuying chose to swallow her pride and not mention it again, but she told Lu Qiaoge: "Do you see the man in glasses behind Director Zhou? He is Zhang Qiaozhi's second older brother."

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Liu Dahui; this person was quite composed, with a smile on his face, and was exchanging pleasantries with Director Zhou.

Director Zhou said: "We brought a shotgun, preparing to go into the mountains to hunt a few pheasants and wild rabbits..."

Lu Qiaoge said straightforwardly: "It's best not to use a shotgun, and don't go deep into the mountains, there are Siberian tigers nearby."

Director Zhou was startled: "Really? Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"

Just now Zhen Xi even wanted to go mountain climbing.

It was he who said there was a road here, jeeps could drive in, the scenery here was good, and they could take a look.

But if there really were tigers, not to mention whether they could hunt or not, it was dangerous.

If something happened to Zhen Xi, that would be a big problem.

All the efforts he and his colleagues had made before would go down the drain.

Lu Qiaoge said seriously: "It's true, you believe me!"

Before Director Zhou could speak, Zhou Shanshan actually interrupted and said: "Lu Qiaoge, don't talk nonsense, Qin Hengzhi and Brother Wang are both hunting in the woods on the opposite side, if there were tigers, why would they still dare to go, or if you knew there were tigers, why didn't you tell them?"

Once these words were out, it felt like a chill had been brought to the cool riverside.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Zhou Shanshan indifferently: "If you don't know, don't interrupt. Representative Qin and the others are using slingshots and are nearby, while Director Zhou and the others are holding shotguns and want to go deep into the mountains."

Director Zhou felt it was inexplicable; wasn't this woman with Lu Qiaoge and the others?

Why was she undermining Lu Qiaoge?

He didn't expect Zhou Shanshan to not care at all, and she smiled without any psychological burden: "Oh, is that so? I'm a straightforward person, I asked because I didn't understand. Sister Qiaoge, don't hold it against me."

Lu Qiaoge looked at Zhou Shanshan deeply: Don't worry, I will certainly hold it against you!

Li Xiuying and Dong Xiangqin's expressions both changed.

Zhou Shanshan had been targeting Lu Qiaoge since she got in the car, and now that she saw Qin Hengzhi wasn't here, she became even worse.

Director Zhou hurriedly said: "We still wanted to hunt some pheasants and wild rabbits for Mr. Zhen to taste something fresh. Since that's the case, we can't climb the mountain either."

The time was about right, and returning with this excuse was just right; otherwise, even if there were no tigers, climbing the mountain would be dangerous.

He really didn't want to bring this Third Young Master out.

Not to mention the fanfare, it wasn't safe either.

He said to Zhen Xi: "Qiaoge's information is never wrong, let's return to the city."

Zhen Xi didn't make things difficult for Director Zhou and nodded. Since they couldn't climb the mountain, there was no point in staying by the river.

But actually, he really wanted to talk and chat with Lu Qiaoge.

It's just that this place is too conservative.

She always keeps a distance from him.

But this is actually quite good, so as to avoid her being suspected by his father.
