But Zhu Ling herself knows that she is not an elite but a corporate slave. Her biggest hobby is going to the bar every day to drink a glass of beer after getting off work.
People like Zhen Xi are different, they are not of the same social class. So even though they were working together on the same project, she could only admire his beautiful face.
"It seems that there is a DUI checkpoint upfront." Zhen Xi looked at the traffic police ahead.
It was only then that Zhu Ling recovered from her own thoughts. There were indeed some traffic officers ahead and roadblocks were set up. All passing vehicles were stopped.
"There are often DUI checkpoints near Qingnan Lane." Zhu Ling came here almost every day, so she was quite familiar with the situation.
Zhen Xi slowed down the car and glanced sideways at her, "Do you come to Qingnan Lane to drink every day?"
Zhu Ling said, "It should be. Sometimes I'm too busy at work and leave late, so I can't come here."
Zhen Xi nodded slightly and asked again, "Do you like drinking?"
Zhu Ling laughed and said, "Not really, it's mainly because a glass of beer every day will help to continue my life."
Hearing what she said, Zhen Xi also laughed, "It seems that you are still under a lot of pressure at work."
"There’s no other way around it, in today's society, everything you do is under pressure."
Zhen Xi and Zhu Ling have known each other for more than half a year because of the project cooperation, but they usually chat about work-related matters. This is the first time that they chat like this.
When the car reached the roadblock, a traffic officer waved to Zhen Xi to stop and lower the window.
Zhen Xi followed suit.
"Did you just come from Qingnan Lane?" The traffic officer asked Zhen Xi while handing over the breathalyzer.
Although it is near Qingnan Lane, it is also a main road, and many cars will pass by here. Zhen Xi blew on the instrument and asked him, "Can you tell?"
The traffic police said, "Generally, those who drive a car of your price come from Qingnan Lane. Your car is our key target."
Pfft." Zhu Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed, feeling that the traffic police must feel some bitterness having to check the luxury cars in Qingnan Lane every day.
Zhen Xi said, "But I didn't drink."
Seeing that the breathalyzer in his hand did not respond, the traffic police waved him and let him go.
After they drove away, Zhu Ling looked at Zhen Xi and said with a smile, "You are quite cooperative with the traffic police."
Zhen Xi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What else was I supposed to do?"
Zhu Ling said: "I don't know if you have read the news, but there are often luxury car owners in Qingnan Lane who are investigated for drunk driving. The love and hatred between the car owner and the traffic police can be written in a book."
Zhen Xi said, "I'm a good citizen who abides by the law, not like those rich second-generation playboys."
Zhu Ling laughed and said nothing. This person was quite skilled at boasting about himself.
Zhu Ling's company is near Qingnan Lane, so she also rented a place nearby. Sometimes she didn't want to take a car, so after drinking in Qingnan Lane, she would take a walk back to her neighborhood, which was only a 40-minute walk.
"Your home is quite close to Qingnan Lane." Zhen Xi parked the car outside Zhu Ling's community and looked around, "The rent here is not cheap."
"Yeah, but it's close to the company, and it's convenient to go drinking." She also struggled a little when finding a place to rent. Naturally, there are cheaper listings, but they are far away. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Ling still chose to spend more money on a better place, "Then I'll go back first, thank you, President Zhen, for today."
Zhen Xi said, "We’re not in the company, so you don't need to call me President Zhen. You can call me by my name."
"It's better to call you President Zhen." Zhu Ling unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car, "Goodbye, President Zhen, be careful on the road."
"En." Zhen Xi nodded. He watched her enter the community and then drove away.
After leaving Zhu Ling’s place, Zhen Xi didn't go anywhere else and drove home. Ms. Wang Shuzhen and Lao Zhen are still sitting in the living room watching TV. They also have a TV in their room, but Ms. Wang Shuzhen has a soft spot for the super-large TV in the living room.
"You’re back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lao Zhen glanced back, "Didn't you say you were going to drink at your sister’s? Why did you come back so early?"
Zhen Xi said, "There's nothing interesting, so I came back to sleep."
Lao Zhen snorted, "Is it interesting to sleep alone?"
Zhen Xi, “....”
He suspected that his father was saying a dirty joke, and it was in front of Ms. Wang Shuzhen.
"I'm going to take a shower, take your time." Zhen Xi glanced at the urban romance drama that was being broadcast on TV, then turned and went upstairs.
"Wait a minute." Ms. Wang Shuzhen suddenly stopped him. Zhen Xi turned his head and looked at her with a little doubt, "What's the matter?"
Ms. Wang Shuzhen got up from the sofa, walked up to Zhen Xi, and sniffed around.
"...I didn't drink." Zhen Xi said with a deadpan expression.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked up at him and smiled after sniffing, "It smells like women's perfume."
Zhen Xi, “...”
Is his mother a police dog?
"Oh, that." Zhen Xi scratched his head, putting on a candid look, "When I went to Zhen Tian's for a drink, I happened to meet one of her regular customers, so I sent her home along the way."
Ms. Wang Shuzhen analyzed what he said and came to a conclusion: "So you went to your sister's bar, didn’t drink, and sent a girl home?"
Zhen Xi, “...”
Although this is true, such a generalization sounds strange.
Lao Zhen couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked at Zhen Xi, "Which one of your sister's regular customers? What's their name?"
Zhen Xi twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly and replied, "It's Xiao Zhu, you've met her before too."
Lao Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Little pig*? Why are you calling her so affectionately?"
T/N: Little Pig (xiao zhu) sounds like Little Zhu
Zhen Xi, "..."
"I'm talking about Zhu Ling, the former assistant to Mr. Wu's project."
When he said this, Lao Zhen also had some impressions, "Oh, it seems that there is such a person. Isn't Mr. Wu's project over, yet you still met privately?"
"I already said that she is a regular customer of Zhen Tian's bar, and we met by chance." Zhen Xi didn't bother to explain to them, waved his hand, and went upstairs.
After he returned to his room, Ms. Wang Shuzhen sat back on the sofa and asked Lao Zhen beside her, "How is the girl named Zhu Ling?"
Lao Zhen asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
“All aspects.”
"..." Lao Zhen thought for a while and then said, "I don't know her too well. Zhen Xi was in charge of the project with Mr. Wu. But since Mr. Wu asked her to take charge of this project, he should value her very much. That means she's pretty good at her job."
After hearing what he said, Ms. Wang Shuzhen asked him something he should know, "Is she pretty?"
Lao Zhen, “....”
Lao Zhen couldn't help but wonder: did she really want to know, or was she just trying to get him to dig a hole for himself?
"I can't remember what she looks like, and it's not good for me to stare at her young girl all the time, right?" Lao Zhen was full of desire to survive.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen said, "Forget it, I will ask Zhen Tian directly tomorrow."
Lao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen Xi came out of the shower and found that Zhu Ling had updated her Moments.
Zhu Ling: My younger sister told me that the principal and his wife have a relationship problem, and they seem to be talking about divorce??? Now all the students in the school are discussing what the dismissal bell will be. [OK]
Zhen Tian: It will probably switch to “Break Up Happily”
Zhu Ling replied to Zhen Tian: Why are you so idle at work? [Smile]
Zhen Tian replied to Zhu Ling: Who told me to be the boss? [Great]
After Zhen Xi finished reading it, he gave her another like. After thinking about it, he found his WeChat group, released Zhu Ling from the "work" group, and added it to the "relatives and friends" group.
When Zhu Ling checked Moments that night, she found that she could suddenly see many of Zhen Xi's Moments. His daily posts are still different from that at work. She feels that his daily life is...stupid and sweet.
He really doesn't look like a “rich second-generation playboy.”
But the Zhen family did teach their children very well. She had been with Zhen Tian for so long, but she didn't realize that she was a little princess.
Zhu Ling didn't know why Zhen Xi suddenly changed her group. In short, since she was able to check his circle of friends, she wasn’t going to let it go to waste.
Zhen Xi only showed the posts of the last six months, but it was colorful enough. In addition to daily complaints and selfies, there were also luxury cars, villas, and yachts.
Thank you Mr. Zhen for giving her this opportunity to see the life of the upper class. :)
After looking over it, Zhu Ling dedicatedly gave likes to each of his posts.
When Zhen Xi checked Moments the next day, he found that he had received a bunch of likes. He froze for a moment, and when he clicked on it, he found that all the likes were from Zhu Ling.
Zhen Xi was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud.
"What's wrong?" Lao Zhen, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and looked at him, "Is the financial news so funny?"
Zhen Xi put away his phone and said calmly, "Who told you that I was reading the financial news? People who watch financial news on the way to the company every morning are already bald."
Lao Zhen, “???”
"Who are you calling bald?" Lao Zhen stared at him and even brushed his shiny black hair with his hands.
Zhen Xi said, "Oh, this is called, make the most money, buy the most expensive hair."
Lao Zhen, “....”
He just dyed his hair, when did he get his hair transplanted?
... Well, he did get a small transplant.
When they arrived at the company, as soon as the two got out of the car, they were suddenly surrounded by several reporters holding microphones, followed by photographers and videographers.
Both Lao Zhen and Zhen Xi were a little confused. It's not that they haven't been interviewed by reporters before, but these people don't look like financial reporters.
In the past, most of the reporters' interviews were directed at Lao Zhen. Today, the cameras and microphones of these reporters are all focused on Zhen Xi.
"Hello Mr. Zhen, have you seen the report about actress Han Duoer?"
"May I ask what is your relationship with Han Duoer? Is it a boyfriend and girlfriend or a transactional relationship?"
Zhen Xi was dumbfounded by the questions, especially the flashing lights that kept flashing, which made him and Lao Zhen unable to open their eyes.
"Excuse me, please step aside! Don't take pictures here!" The company's security guards rushed out in time and blocked the reporters from outside. Zhen Xi and Lao Zhen took the opportunity to enter the company.
After entering the elevator, Lao Zhen looked at Zhen Xi with a bad expression, "What's going on? Who is that Han Duoer?"
“....” Han Duoer was a starlet whom Zhen Xi had dinner with when he invested in an online drama. If these reporters didn't mention it today, he would have forgotten that there was such a person.
Zhen Xi, "..."
