Lu Chuanbai gave her a disdainful look and helped her open the car door and fasten her seat - belt.
"It's all your fault. I have to exchange parenting experiences with your mom every day. Naturally, our relationship has gotten better."
Xu Qingqing stuck out her tongue. It should have been her who exchanged parenting experiences with her mother.
Now Lu Chuanbai was not only a father but also half a mother.
"Thank you."
Just as Lu Chuanbai was about to look up after fastening Xu Qingqing's seat - belt,
Xu Qingqing planted a kiss on his cheek. Her eyes, as gentle as spring petals, were full of tenderness.
"If it weren't for you, I definitely couldn't have devoted myself to my career whole - heartedly. Chuanbai, you're the best man in the world!"
Xu Qingqing flattered Lu Chuanbai desperately. Although Lu Chuanbai showed no obvious expression change, his slightly red ear tips betrayed his happiness.
This woman really had him wrapped around her little finger.
He couldn't beat her, nor scold her. He could only spoil her.
The next day, after Xu Qingqing promised Lu Chuanbai repeatedly that she would get off work on time to accompany the family and children, Lu Chuanbai finally let her go.
When Xu Qingqing arrived, Team Leader Hao and her team members were already there.
Seeing Xu Qingqing walking slowly with an iced Americano in her hand, Team Leader Hao couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks again.
Xu Qingqing ignored them all, sipping her iced Americano and swiping her employee card to enter the storage room.
One of the team members whispered to Team Leader Hao, "Team leader, why is Xu Qingqing going in again? Did she finish any repairs yesterday?"
"Of course not. She's not a miracle worker."
Team Leader Hao didn't believe that Xu Qingqing could be faster than her. She casually came up with an excuse to slander Xu Qingqing.
"She must have left some uncollected fragments in the storage room and is going in to look for them."
"Really?"
The team member watched as Xu Qingqing walked out of the storage room carrying fragments of three vases, hardly believing her eyes.
Team Leader Hao thought Xu Qingqing was just taking up space. She clearly hadn't finished repairing any, yet she was taking so many.
"Xu Qingqing, no matter how many you're working on, if you don't finish them, it doesn't count!"
Team Leader Hao shouted at the top of her voice.
"Don't worry. I'll finish them all."
Xu Qingqing casually replied and then carried the fragments back to her studio.
Team Leader Hao's eyes darkened as she stared at the closed door.
You can enjoy your easy time for now. When the competition results come out, you'll have to leave whether you like it or not!
Xu Qingqing was worried that if she repaired too fast, it would scare Lu Qi and the others. So she only used the system's auxiliary function to repair two vases. The third one was completely repaired by her own splicing and polishing skills.
The off - work ringtone that Lu Chuanbai had set on Xu Qingqing's phone rang. Xu Qingqing sighed, looking at the half - repaired vase.
Maybe she should learn 3D printing technology. Using technology to improve efficiency and do more things in the shortest time was the right way.
Afraid that if she worked overtime again, Lu Chuanbai would nag at her, Xu Qingqing grabbed her bag and left work.
Thanks to yesterday's experience, when a customer came to make trouble again, Lu Qi directly brought Lu Chuanbai out.
"Everyone, rest assured. If your vases can't be repaired to be exactly the same as before, the Lu Group will compensate you in full until you're satisfied!"
Everyone knew that the Lu Group was extremely wealthy, so no one kept pestering them.
"Showing off wealth is so much fun."
Lu Qi stretched. Suddenly, he saw Xu Qingqing standing beside him, smiling at him.
"Lu Qi, you're quite good at... relying on Chuanbai's influence."
Xu Qingqing joked.
But Lu Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he and Lu Chuanbai were brothers, and Lu Chuanbai wouldn't mind.
Rather than apologizing to the customers again and again, he preferred to solve the problem quickly and then sit there drinking tea in peace.
"I'm also thanks to you."
Lu Qi tilted his shoulder and winked at Xu Qingqing.
"If you, the big Buddha, weren't in my small temple, there wouldn't be such a wealthy donor like Lu Chuanbai."
"You're right." Xu Qingqing readily accepted.
Seeing Xu Qingqing carrying her bag and about to leave work, Lu Qi asked, "How many did you repair today?"
Before Xu Qingqing could speak, Lu Qi raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Don't say anything. Let me guess. Did you finish them all?"
"No." Xu Qingqing forced a smile. "I only repaired two and a half."
"What?" Lu Qi looked at Xu Qingqing in disbelief.
She had managed to repair three vases in such a short time yesterday afternoon. Why had she only repaired two and a half today?
"Tell me, were you slacking off?" Lu Qi stared at Xu Qingqing menacingly.
After seeing Xu Qingqing's real speed, he suspected that she had been slacking off and hiding her real strength since the first day she entered his shop.
"After all, I want to keep a low profile."
Xu Qingqing shrugged and said pretentiously, then carried her bag and left.
Lu Qi: "..."
Well, the world of a genius was beyond his understanding.
Team Leader Hao worked overtime until around 8 p.m. as usual and wanted to mock Xu Qingqing. Remembering that Xu Qingqing had once mocked her for not knocking on the door politely, Team Leader Hao knocked on the door outside and waited for Xu Qingqing to open it.
She knocked for a full two minutes but didn't wait for Xu Qingqing to open the door. She shouted at the door.
"You said I was impolite for not knocking, but now I'm knocking, yet some people pretend not to hear and don't open the door."
"Do you think you've repaired too few and are too ashamed to show your face?"
After saying that, Team Leader Hao pressed her ear against the door, hoping to hear Xu Qingqing's reaction. But it was completely quiet. Team Leader Hao couldn't hear anything and couldn't help but kick the door angrily.
"Arrogant guy. If you have the guts, never come out!"
"If you kick the door broken, you'll have to pay for it!"
Lu Qi, who was sitting in the front shop, heard Team Leader Hao knocking on the door and shouting. He turned around and told her,
"Qingqing has already left."
Team Leader Hao froze. Thinking about how she had acted like a crazy person talking to thin air just now, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
This time, in her heart, Team Leader Hao added one more person to the list of those she cursed, which was Lu Qi.
Damn Lu Qi. He had been sitting in the front listening for so long but didn't remind her earlier.
He only knew how to side with Xu Qingqing!
Team Leader Hao peeked into the front shop secretly.
Seeing Lu Qi with his head down, looking at his phone, she kicked the door hard again and then ran to her own office.
She would kick it. So what!
When she got home, it was just 5 p.m. Xu Qingqing specially bought some vegetables in the market and went home to cook for the family. Lu Chuanbai also picked up the two children from school. Xu An'an, with a beautiful hair bun on her head, ran into the kitchen and sniffed the aroma.
"Mom, it smells so good. Are you making sweet and sour spare ribs, my favorite?"
"Yes."
Xu Qingqing covered the pot and took a break. Seeing the cute little hair buns on Xu An'an's head, she looked just like a lucky doll in an ancient painting, lively and festive.
