I said: "Oh, I can't remember it. How about this, I'll add you on WeChat and you can send me the address on WeChat?" Then I can just copy it.

He hurriedly said: "Okay, then scan my QR code." Then he took the phone and opened his own WeChat business card.

I successfully added him on WeChat and he immediately sent me the address.

Then I went back to the uncle’s office and ordered ten pizzas from Are You Hungry?

The uncle was still busy until 12 o'clock. We also had takeout for lunch. I had already eaten my portion, but his was still on the table. He was so busy that he didn't have time to eat.

I sat opposite him, supported my chin with both hands, looked at him and asked: Husband, when can you take me home?

He stopped, looked at the watch on his wrist and said: Give me another ten minutes.

I said: Eat your meal first, don’t go hungry.

He said: Wait until I finish here.

I said: If you really don’t have time, why not ask your assistant to take me back.

He looked at me for a moment, then said: Go and call him over.

I said, "Okay." I quickly turned around and ran to his assistant's office.

The assistant came in and asked: Mr. Zheng, do you have something to talk to me about?

The uncle asked: Have you eaten?

The assistant said: I ate it.

The uncle asked again: How is XX’s matter arranged?

The assistant said: Everything has been arranged.

The uncle took out the car keys and said to him: Then please go to XX for me now and help me send Jia Jia back.

The assistant went upstairs, took the key and said: Okay, then, beautiful Jia Jia, I'll wait for you in the car downstairs.

I said: Okay, you go down first.

The assistant glanced at both of us, then turned and left.

I picked up my things and said: Honey, I'm leaving now...

The uncle came over, pinched my face and said: I'm sorry, little thing. I said I would take you home, but I'm really too busy.

I smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the face, and said: It's okay, I understand you, I'll go back first, don't forget to eat.

He said: Little thing, come here and let me kiss you.

I obediently moved my upper body closer, he kissed me on the mouth, and then said: Send me a WeChat message when you arrive!

I smiled and nodded at him, then went out with my things.

When I got downstairs, the assistant was already waiting.

After I got in the car, I said: Xiao Zhou (the assistant's surname is Zhou), thank you for your help.

Xiao Zhou hurriedly said: No trouble, this is my job, it’s my duty.

I said: It's not your job to take me home, and it's lunch time now. Anyway... thank you.

He smiled and said: You're welcome, just say a few good words for me in front of General Zheng.

I said: I have said a lot of good things about you in front of him. Last time you came to give me a lipstick on his behalf, you also asked me to say good things about you.

Xiao Zhou was very excited and said: Really? Thank you so much. I was wondering why Mr. Zheng didn't take anyone with him when he went to the new company. He took me with him and gave me a raise as soon as I came.

I thought, this was really a blessing in disguise. In fact, I didn’t say anything in front of Lao Zheng, but I will definitely say it in the future.

I feel like my emotional intelligence has improved after spending so much time with the uncle.

I said: You're welcome. Then I asked: Xiao Zhou, have you just graduated from college? You look so young...

Xiao Zhou said: It has been several years since I graduated. I am 25 now.

I said: I am older than you, I am 28, so you can call me sister from now on.

He said: Okay, Sister Coco, thank you for speaking well of mine to President Zheng. I got a promotion and a raise after the New Year, all thanks to you. Sister, if you need any help in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you in any way I can.

I originally wanted to ask him to help keep an eye on Zheng XX, but then I thought, it would be too deliberate to say it right away. Besides, the young man must be smart since the uncle likes him so much. If I say it now, he will definitely think of it. It’s better to take it slow. There is a long way to go. I’ll win people’s hearts first.

I smiled and said: Xiao Zhou, you're welcome. I don't have much to help you with.

Xiao Zhou said: If you need help in the future, please let me know!

I said: Okay, I'll definitely be at your service if you need me.

Xiao Zhou said: Sister Jia Jia, you are such a nice person. You treat us to food every time you come. When I was in my old company, everyone liked you very much.

I said: I don’t go there often, but if I go occasionally, I should treat you.

He said: You are so generous and beautiful, no wonder our General Zheng likes you so much.

I smiled. This little Zhou is really good at speaking.

He dropped me off before I went to work and then hurried back.

After I arrived at the company, I sent a WeChat message to the uncle and said: Honey, I’m here.

Soon, the uncle sent me a photo of himself eating takeout.

I said: "You're just eating now? Can you still eat this? It's cold, right?"

He said: Well, I just heated it up in the microwave.

I said: Husband, you can’t do this, you have to eat on time.

He said: I understand, wife, I will eat on time next time. Monday is really busy and I have a lot of information waiting for me to take down after I finish reading it.

I said: I'm busy too, take your time eating.

He said: Okay, I miss you, baby.

I sent him a smiley face and said: Honey, I miss you too.

He sent me another emoticon, but I didn’t reply.

After get off work, a colleague asked me to go shopping with her. We had a barbecue outside and then went to the mall together.

After a round of shopping, she bought a set of clothes, and I bought a belt for the uncle, as well as two pairs of underwear and a box of socks for him. Then my colleague said she wanted to buy a necklace. There happened to be a gold counter in the mall, so when we passed by, she pulled me in to have a look.

Then I found a shop selling Buddhist beads nearby, and I suddenly remembered that Xu asked me to buy some for him...

I left my colleagues and went to the shop selling Buddhist beads alone. I took a look and found many styles, but I didn't find the same one as the uncle's.

I hesitated whether to buy it or not, but after thinking about it I decided to buy it. Although he is always bad-mouthing me, he has indeed helped me a lot during this period of time, and I really have to thank him.

I picked a skewer that looked good and asked the boss to wrap it for me.

After I got home, I sent him a WeChat message and asked: Caozhu, when will you come to XX (my county)? (He said he had taken a job in our county and would come down almost every week.)

He quickly came back and said: What? You stingy guy want to treat me to a meal?

I said: I bought something for you. When you come to my county, call me and I will give it to you.

He replied immediately: What is it? I have to go there tomorrow, I will find you after I finish my work.

I said: OK.

He asked again: What did you buy for me? Tell me quickly...

I said: I won’t tell you, you will know when you come tomorrow.

He said: Tell me quickly, I am very curious and I won’t be able to sleep tonight if you don’t tell me.
