"Brother Bai is coming! I can use his card again! " The fat manager grabbed Wen Liangliang's arm and used her as a pole. Then, he started dancing excitedly.
Wen Liangliang hated eating fat. Even a little fat would make her lose her appetite. She looked away to avoid the manager's tummy, which was jiggling from side to side. However, this "tummy" intimately leaned over and hooked her arm like an old friend. "Use your professional eyes to help me pick out a good pair of shoes!" Then, he led her into a branded shoe store. He pointed at the season's new products displayed in the window and said to the shop assistant, "Bring me all of them."
His tone was very firm. Xiao Jin patted Wen Liangliang's shoulder. "Why are you still standing there like a fool? Before Wang Ningning's husband comes, we have to pick out the things and sneak into Wang Ningning's things to pay for them secretly! Her husband doesn't have any good points, but he's generous when it comes to material things. He'll satisfy whatever Ning Ning wants and never asks for the reason. "
The fat manager, who was racing against time to try on the shoes, raised his head and said to Wen Liangliang, "You'd be a fool not to buy, and you'd be a fool not to pick the expensive ones! Even if they don't measure up, you can still make a profit by reselling them. These are all limited editions worth a few thousand yuan! "
In front of a crazy person, one should never pretend to be a white lotus, or else it would cause a huge wave. Wen Liangliang knew this very well. In order to show that she wasn't unsociable, she pretended to be calm. "Wow, then I'll have to choose carefully. Hahaha."
She sat down and picked up the women's shoes that the fat manager had decided to buy. Looking at the price tag, which was 4.80, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhou Bocan. Indeed, it took ability to spoil his wife.
Xiao Jin picked a bag of clothes. When she turned around, she saw that Wen Liangliang was empty-handed. She couldn't help but be puzzled. "You don't like them? You're so bad! " With that, she smiled charmingly and led her into a luxurious clothing store. Wang Ningning was picking clothes inside.
Wang Ningning beckoned for Xiao Jin to come over and give her some advice. The two shop assistants standing at the side had several pieces of clothes hanging on their arms, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears. Wen Liangliang flipped through the clothes and pretended not to care. She glanced at the price tag on the clothes. All the clothes she had bought since she was born added up couldn't compare to the fancy clothes in front of her.
Xiao Jin picked up the clothes that she had just flipped through and said, "You have good taste. This is silk, and the collar is made of real antelope wool. This shop is expensive because they use real materials, and the style is not something that other shops can replicate."
Wen Liangliang smiled innocently and silently hung the clothes back, her back breaking out in a cold sweat. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was difficult to fit in. It was best to leave, so she sent a message to her colleague, Xiao Huang. The bedridden Xiao Huang was very loyal. Wen Liangliang received the call as scheduled. She said with a face full of pity, "Aiya, look at my bad luck. I can't get clothes for free. The decorator at the wedding house has an urgent matter, and he wants me to go over to solve it! I'll … "
"Brother Bai!" The fat manager screamed. Wang Ningning and Xiao Jin shifted their gazes from Wen Liangliang to the back. Zhou Bocan, dressed in a blue shirt and flaxen trousers, had already arrived. Wang Ningning greeted him with a face full of smiles. She whispered coquettishly, "Hubby, did you miss me? I've been waiting for you to visit me every day. It's so tiring! You have to make it up to me! "
Zhou Bocan said something softly that no one else could hear.
The situation was worse than she had imagined. Wen Liangliang felt as though there was a thorn in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. The fat manager standing beside her said, "He's so sweet. I want a husband like him too. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Wen Liangliang raised her head and saw the fat manager asking her. Wen Liangliang smiled bitterly. "No."
Wang Ningning's ears were sharp, so she quickly tugged at Zhou Bocan's arm. "Isn't that perfect? Introduce her to Johnson! Johnson is also a good stock! " The second half of the sentence was directed at Wen Liangliang. Xiao Jin shook her head. "He's just a little stingy."
"You don't have a boyfriend, right?" The fat manager hooked his arm around Wen Liangliang's arm again and leaned against her. "Do you want to consider … my brother?" He smiled wickedly and whispered in Wen Liangliang's ear so that no one could hear him.
Zhou Bocan suddenly roared, "Fatty …"
The fat manager's heart trembled. He ran over quickly. "What's the matter?"
Zhou Bocan sent him to buy drinks. The clothes were going through the machine. Wen Liangliang could not leave because Wang Ningning had arranged for Zhou Bocan to send the clothes to the bridal room. He would also give Wen Liangliang a ride and look at the renovation plans.
Wen Liangliang felt bitter in her heart. She could only blame herself for finding the wrong excuse. Xiao Jin asked, "Liang Liang, you really don't want this dress?" She picked up the silk gown that Wen Liangliang had flipped open the price tag curiously.
Wen Liangliang shook her head. The shop assistant who was packing the clothes took the dress and compared it to Wen Liangliang. She praised it sincerely. Wen Liangliang rejected in a low voice. "It's not suitable …"
Xiao Jin said, "Don't worry about the price. Ning Ning's husband is very generous, right?"
Zhou Bocan took out his bank card from his wallet. He looked up and said to the shop assistant casually, "Count that one in as well."
Wang Ningning gave Xiao Jin a thumbs up! Xiao Jin said sweetly, "Your husband is so sweet. Be careful that there's no suitable facial mask!"
"Then I'll ask my husband to customize it for me!" Wang Ningning did not try to avoid suspicion at all. She held onto Zhou Bocan's arm like a little bird.
Wen Liangliang was not in a good mood as she carried the tattered silk dress that was worth several months' worth of salary. The fat manager was holding onto a pile of clothes. He finally managed to free an empty hand and asked her, "I forgot to exchange WeChat messages. Remember to tell me if you're free this weekend as soon as possible."
Wen Liangliang smiled brightly and said to the fat manager, "Why are you so impatient? I'm going to ask my friend. If I'm free, I definitely won't stand you up. "
The fat manager suddenly hugged her and said, "From the first time I saw you, I knew I would like you very much!"
"Not done yet?" Suddenly, someone interrupted coldly. For some reason, Zhou Bocan got out of the car. "I'm in a hurry. I'll find another time and another place to be in someone else's car."
The fat manager smiled apologetically and winked at Wen Liangliang. Then he ran back to the shopping mall to find Wang Ningning and Xiao Jin. Wen Liangliang did not dare to be slow. She ran very fast to the car.
She spent the whole journey in low spirits. She said that going to the wedding house was just an excuse she made up at the last minute. Now they were about to cross the bridge. After crossing the bridge, they would not be far from the company. She said to Zhou Bocan, "Just drop me off after crossing the bridge. I'll leave the decoration plan here. You can discuss it slowly."
Zhou Bocan did not say yes or no. The car stopped on the side of the bridge. As soon as Wen Liangliang got out of the car, Zhou Bocan stopped her. "You haven't taken your clothes yet."
Wen Liangliang frowned. Based on the principle of a gentleman not taking food given in handouts, she had never thought of taking advantage of him. She did not reject him just now because she was in a difficult position. She was afraid that she would anger Wang Ningning, or that she would appear to be narrow-minded and still brooding over the past.
Probably no one would be like her. She would be so unambitious as to accept expensive clothes from a one-night stand that she had once dumped. She held the bag, but she could not pull it because Zhou Bocan did not let go immediately.
"Wen Liangliang." He called her by her full name, which made her feel a little absent-minded. Five years ago, he liked to give her nicknames. He had never called her by her name so seriously.
He looked at her solemnly. "I promise you, I will pretend that I don't know the truth. At the same time, you have to promise me that if you want anything in the future, don't look for my mother. Just tell me directly. Also, even if it's only for half a year, I hope that you won't fool around. "
The sun above her head was fierce and hot, making her face pale. Looking at the rearview mirror, she deeply realized that she really should not stay up late at her age. It was harmful to her mind and body.
She wanted to stubbornly scold back. What does it matter to you? However, thinking about it, this was a transaction, and there were no feelings to speak of. This was the best state. You abide by it, and I abide by it. They could achieve a win-win situation.
"Okay, please help me find a good house as soon as possible." The sun shone on her pale lips. Wen Liangliang pointed at the stack of papers on the front of the car and said, "I don't think you need to change the renovation plan. I'll take it?"
Zhou Bocan's eyes darkened. He let go of the bag and lightly said, "Okay, I will make sure that there are no changes. Then, don't go anywhere on the weekend. Just cook at Shing Wong Temple. "
Was he ordering her around like a chef? Wen Liangliang was mad. Did he know that she had not received a single cent?
The day before the weekend, Old Lady Zhou really called her and begged her to cook at Shing Wong Temple on Saturday and Sunday.
Wen Liangliang was puzzled, "Aunty, don't the aunties and the aunties take turns to plan family activities on Saturday and Sunday? And there will only be a big pot of rice during the month. Why is there no reason … Moreover, didn't you say that you found a suitable chef? "
Speaking of hiring a chef, Old Lady Zhou complained bitterly. The taste was bad, the cooking method was not clean, and the dishes were repetitive. The Zhou Family unanimously voted to fire the chef. "I couldn't find anyone at the last minute, so I threw an olive branch to you. How about I pay you on time? Or do you have a friend who knows how to cook? Ask her to cook with you!"
Wen Liangliang believed that what Old Lady Zhou said was the truth. Those gossipy aunties and aunties seemed to be troublemakers and picky people. The Zhou Family really respected the eldest son. Old Lady Zhou felt wronged as the eldest sister-in-law. She did not serve them well, and they even talked bad about her.
However, her cooking skills were not even one-tenth of that of a professional chef. Asking her to cook was equivalent to dragging an innocent person into trouble and being criticized by those relatives. She said helplessly, "Aunty, my friend doesn't know how to cook and almost caused a fire."
