After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

Chapter 24 Encountering a Drunk Man

Since she saw the shrimps come in, she had swallowed her saliva several times, but she still waited patiently for others to pick up theirs first before it was her turn.

She picked up a big one and put it in the bowl. She peeled off the shell and saw the tender white shrimp meat and golden shrimp roe. She dipped it in some sauce and put it in her mouth. It tasted chewy and delicate. It was really delicious!

What a coincidence, what Lu Yanqi sent her was her favorite shrimp.

What should I do? I feel like my love for him has increased a little bit!

At this time, in another private room on the same floor.

Secretary Wang Dong leaned over to Lu Yanqi's ear and said, "Boss Lu, the dishes have been delivered to Room 206 as you ordered."

Lu Yanqi nodded, "Okay."

Just 20 minutes ago, Lu Yanqi received a WeChat message from Du Siyuan, and learned that they and their clients were also having dinner here.

Lu Yanqi learned from the hotel manager Tan Jun that the hotel had just delivered a batch of fresh shrimps this afternoon. He then remembered that he had met Lin Qing in the cafeteria last time and noticed the shrimps she ordered. He guessed that she should like shrimps.

Lu Yanqi asked his secretary Wang Dong to find the hotel's Manager Tan, tell him his name, and ask Manager Tan to check whether the menu of the private room 206 ordered shrimp. If not, arrange for two servings to be delivered and the cost will be charged to his name.

Wang Dong also asked if he wanted to pay for the private room 206.

Lu Yanqi replied that it was not necessary, as the client was the host today.

In private room 206, ever since the boiled shrimps were served, Lin Qing basically stopped eating other meat dishes and only ate shrimps and vegetables.

Du Siyuan saw a pile of shrimp shells in front of her, chuckled and whispered to her: "So you like to eat shrimps, too. I like them too, especially blanched ones with some sauce. They are so delicious."

Lin Qing didn't dare to tell the customers that her favorite food was shrimp, because the customers had already asked them to order their own dishes, but she didn't order shrimp for fear of offending the customers.

Lin Qingwei looked up at Du Siyuan and said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay. The dishes we ordered today are all delicious. I ate a little too much just now and I'm sick of it, so I'll eat shrimp now."

Lin Qing usually eats very little, but today because the food was delicious and there were shrimps later, he accidentally ate too much, but the others were still eating.

Touching her round belly, she felt like getting up and walking around, so she said to Du Siyuan next to her, "Director Du, I'm going to the bathroom."

Du Siyuan nodded at her.

Lin Qing stood up and walked out of the private room, heading towards the bathroom according to the signs in the corridor.

She walked to the sink, turned on the faucet to wash her hands, and looked up at herself in the mirror. Maybe it was because the private room was stuffy, her cheeks were pink and a little hot.

She patted her face with her wet hands, and it immediately felt cold. She looked in the mirror and saw a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead, so she pushed them behind her head, smoothed her skirt, and left the bathroom.

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he met two drunks walking towards him. Lin Qing was a little scared inside, but he remained calm on the surface. He walked at the edge of the corridor, trying not to provoke them, as long as he could get past them.

But things didn't go as smoothly as Lin Qing had imagined. When the two drunks saw Lin Qing, their eyes lit up. They stood in the middle of the corridor, not letting Lin Qing pass. The drunk with a big belly stared at Lin Qing with lustful eyes and teased her, "Beautiful lady, want to chat?"

Lin Qing was scared and her heart started pounding, but she pretended to be calm. She had never met such a drunk before and couldn't confront him head-on. This floor was full of private rooms with closed doors and she didn't see any waiters moving around. Her first thought was to run back to the bathroom, lock the door and call for help.

Lin Qing thought so and did so, but as soon as she turned around, another drunk grabbed her hand. She staggered, and her high heels tilted. The pain in her feet almost made her cry.

Lin Qing didn't care about the pain and tried to shake his hand away, but failed. The drunk man teased, "Beautiful lady, you are so pretty. Come chat with us for a while."

Lin Qing was about to cry. How could she be so unlucky that she met a drunk man even when going to the restroom.

He had to find a way to escape. An idea suddenly came to his mind. He stretched out his foot and kicked the drunk man hard in the crotch. The drunk man let out an "ah" and staggered back two steps, then let go of Lin Qing's hand. Then, he cursed Lin Qing as a "stinking bitch" and reached out to grab Lin Qing again.

As soon as the drunk let go of her hand, Lin Qing ran away desperately. After running more than ten steps, she bumped into someone who had just walked out of the private room.

Lin Qing didn't look up, he immediately opened the man's arms, grabbed the man's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, please help me, there is a drunk."

Lu Yanqi didn't expect to be bumped into by someone as soon as he went out, and he wanted to pull the person away with disgust.

But after hearing the familiar voice, he looked down and froze. Then he felt extremely distressed and really wanted to hug her in his arms and comfort her.

But he restrained himself, stretched out his hands and held her panicked little hands tightly, and comforted her in a calm voice: "It's me, don't be afraid."

Hearing the deep, magnetic and familiar voice, Lin Qing raised his slightly red eyes. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, his panic and fear disappeared for the most part, but was followed by a feeling of grievance. His nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes, but Lin Qing tried his best not to let the tears fall.

Hearing the curses from the two drunkards behind him, Lin Qing raised his foot and tried to hide behind Lu Yanqi, but his foot went weak and he was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Yanqi pulled her hands up and held her tightly in his arms without hesitation. Then he pushed open the door next to him, hugged Lin Qing into the private room, and locked the door behind him.

He helped her sit on the sofa, wiped the hair off her forehead with his fingers, and gently comforted her: "Be good, you rest here first, there is no one in this room, let me take care of the things outside."

After saying that, Lu Yanqi stood up immediately, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by Lin Qing. He stared at her with deep affection in his eyes, wanting to know what she was going to do.

Lin Qing didn't know why she made this move without thinking. Her big watery eyes stared at him, then she lowered her eyelids and whispered, "You have to be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Yanqi's heart trembled violently. She was concerned about him!

He raised one hand and stroked the top of her head, nodded with relief and heartache and replied: "Okay."

Then he slowly pulled out the other hand that she was holding, walked towards the door, opened the door, and closed the door in one go.

There were no guests in the private room, and Lin Qing's emotions gradually stabilized. However, she was a little scared to be alone, and she was worried about Lu Yanqi outside.

Less than a minute after Lu Yanqi left the house, Lin Qing vaguely heard screams outside, followed by begging for mercy.

About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door, followed by a magnetic and deep voice: "It's me, Lu Yanqi."

Lin Qing's tense heart relaxed, he exhaled a long breath, endured the discomfort in his feet, ran to open the door, and asked with concern: "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Seeing that she was still walking unsteadily, Lu Yanqi reached out to support her and replied, "I'm fine. The two drunks have been handed over to the security guards. They will take them to the police station for processing."

Lin Qing sat back on the sofa, lowered his head, and said apologetically: "Mr. Lu, thank you, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
