Chapter 67 Good Luck
On the weekend afternoon, Ye Zhenzhen went to the hospital for a follow-up visit. The doctor removed her bandage and advised her not to do strenuous exercise in the short term.
On Monday morning, Wen Baijing took her to work.
"Zhenzhen, you can wear flat shoes to work in the store. Don't try to be stubborn anymore." Wen Baijing reminded her worriedly, his voice full of warmth.
"I understand. Don't worry!" Ye Zhenzhen nodded obediently, paused, and smiled mischievously: "You should smoke less and don't smoke secretly when I'm not around."
Wen Baijing held her hand, his warm big hand covering her hand, and his heart felt warm too.
"When will you come back?" His eyes were dark and his voice was a little low, with a hint of expectation.
Ye Zhenzhen bit her lip, feeling conflicted. "Can I do it as soon as possible?"
The feeling of having to separate even though we are in the same city is painful and helpless.
He held Ye Zhenzhen's hand and placed it to his lips, kissing the back of her hand deeply, his hot lips unwilling to move away for a long time.
“Don’t do this…”
She was a little reluctant, very reluctant. They were still in love the day before, but today she had to face the pain of separation.
"You have to take good care of yourself, okay?" Wen Baijing's Adam's apple rolled and his grip on her hand tightened.
The two waved as they walked slowly, and he watched Ye Zhenzhen's back as she gradually disappeared around the corner.
He loosened his tie, unzipped the collar of his shirt, and tilted his head to look at the side of his neck in the rearview mirror.
He couldn't help but laugh because he was used to being distant and cold. Ye Zhenzhen, the fool, bit him hard, and the teeth marks on his neck were dark red.
A bit like the color of red grapes.
He sighed and adjusted his shirt with his slender fingers. Ye Zhenzhen was right. The tooth marks were just covered by the shirt.
If she dares to bite someone again, I’ll make her pay!
Ye Zhenzhen punched in and came to the store.
Her foot still hurt a little so she didn't dare to exert too much force. She walked extra carefully, fearing that the uneven ground would sprain her ankle again.
Every failure makes us wiser. After all, life with crutches is too painful!
When your limbs are not flexible, you are like a fish on a chopping board, vulnerable to being slaughtered.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her neck. When she put on makeup in the morning, she deliberately applied foundation on her neck. It can roughly reduce some marks, and it can't be seen without careful observation.
"Are you okay?" Xia Tong's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Zhenzhen, and her voice was a little excited. "How is your recovery? I said I would go see you."
"Not bad," Ye Zhenzhen smiled at her happily, "You're recovering pretty well."
The day after Ye Zhenzhen sprained her ankle, Xia Tong sent her a message saying that she wanted to visit her at home. Ye Zhenzhen was so scared that she refused several times, and finally said that it was inconvenient to live at her brother's house, so Xia Tong gave up.
She was very grateful for Xia Tong's concern and sincerity. Although it seemed a bit cruel to deceive a friend who was sincere to her, she dared not say anything about her relationship with Wen Baijing, at least for now.
The gap is too big, and the future is doomed to be bleak. If you don't want to be criticized or noticed, you can only remain silent.
"But you are really lucky!" Xia Tong started chatting with Ye Zhenzhen with relish when she saw her.
The two were busy wiping the shelves and cabinets, chatting non-stop.
There were a few dim lights on in the aisles of the mall, and only one light was on in the shop.
The light was a little dim and it was hard to see clearly. Xia Tong's eyes were shining brightly in the darkness.
"What good fortune?" Ye Zhenzhen was stunned and the movement of her hands also paused.
"What a blessing!" Xia Tong's voice was filled with excitement. "You don't know how much we envy you. You were rescued by Mr. Wen, and two handsome guys accompanied you to the hospital."
These guys are envious even though they are injured. If they really had to use crutches for a few days, they would know how uncomfortable it is.
"You don't know, it hurts so much to sprain your ankle!" Ye Zhenzhen was still in shock when she talked about the injury, and she was still afraid. "If no one had caught me at that time, I would still be lying in the hospital now, and I would probably not be able to get out of bed for a month or two!"
"Mr. Wen was so handsome when he rushed over to catch you!" Xia Tong ignored what Ye Zhenzhen said and continued to speak: "And when he hugged you, I regretted why I wasn't the one climbing the ladder at that time!"
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at her, feeling both angry and amused, "I should have let you get the chance to get hurt earlier!"
She took the feather duster and poked Xia Tong's shoulder.
Sister Li also asked her with a smile about her physical recovery.
After all, we meet each other every day and we are colleagues. It is normal to have conflicts occasionally, and we should also live in harmony on the surface.
Xia Tong's concern was put into practice. When it came to hard work like mopping the floor and washing the mop, she would take the initiative to do it and not let Ye Zhenzhen interfere.
"Did you know? The company issued a notice saying that under special circumstances, employees can wear flat shoes." Xia Tong looked gossipy and asked with a smile: "Does anyone from Mr. Wen and Mr. Lu like you?"
Thinking back to when Wen Baijing told her to wear flat shoes in the car, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help wanting to laugh, but fearing that Xia Tong would find out, she could only tighten her lips and suppress her facial features.
She shook her head quickly, "What does this have to do with me? Many shopping guides of many brands wear flat shoes to work."
Xia Tong said, "This notice was sent after you were injured. It has something to do with you."
She felt a little guilty. Xia Tong seemed to be a careless person, but he always hit the nail on the head unintentionally.
"Even if it has something to do with me, it's the company's way of caring for its employees. Please stop imagining things, okay?" Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly ended the topic.
While standing guard at the gate at work, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but frown. Her ankles would swell and ache from time to time after standing still for a long time.
Fortunately, there were not many customers. In Yuncheng, autumn clothes are only worn for about a month. The spring windbreakers and coats, as well as the classic autumn clothes bought in previous years, can barely last through. Customers are waiting to buy winter clothes next month.
Ye Zhenzhen was very upset because there were not many customers. October was already halfway through, and it would be difficult to achieve any sales results before the end of the month.
After lying down for several days, I suddenly went back to work and was still a little uncomfortable. Once I rested for several days in a row, my laziness would kick in and I would suddenly go back to work. My body still needed time to adjust.
Before the handover meeting at noon, Ye Zhenzhen received a call from Lu Yu, asking her to meet him at the cafe downstairs.
She was puzzled and couldn't figure out what Lu Yu wanted to talk to her about.
She waited until Xia Tong and Sister Li got off work before she slowly came to the cafe.
Lu Yu smiled and waved at her, and she walked into the cafe nervously. She tried her best to maintain a decent image and greeted Lu Yu with a smile.
Outside the window, passers-by were wearing autumn clothes. As the autumn wind blew, pedestrians tightened their collars.
"Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ye Zhenzhen clenched her fingers, still with a smile on her face.
"Our meeting today is only known to the two of us, okay?" Lu Yu put down the coffee cup, crossed his hands on the coffee table, and looked a little serious.
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her eyelashes, and for some reason she felt flustered. She pursed her lips, smiled, and looked up at Lu Yu.
"Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
