Chapter 1036: Comfort (two chapters in one)
The weather was sunny and cloudless.
The bright sunshine falls on the buildings, reflecting dazzling light.
A sports meeting is being held on the playground of Rongxi Primary School.
Students competed fiercely one by one, some were happy and some were disappointed.
"Come on!"
"Come on...!!!"
Wang Duoduo's face turned red and she tried her best to cheer for her good friend.
Zhou Tongtong, who was participating in the 100-meter race, crossed the finish line, panting and bent over, holding her knees with her two small hands.
"Meow..." There was a cat meowing in the distance. The little white cat and the little black cat saw that Zhou Tongtong won the first place, and their eyes were full of joy.
"Huh..." Zhou Tongtong, who was panting heavily, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Feeling something in his heart, he looked at where the two little wild cats were, with a bright smile on his rosy little face.
After a while.
Zhou Tongtong returned to where the class was, and Wang Duoduo immediately came to her good friend and handed the kettle in her hand to him.
"Zhou Tongtong, congratulations on winning the first place..."
"Hee hee." Zhou Tongtong's little face smiled like a flower in bloom, she took the kettle and took a sip of water.
"According to your current results, you will definitely get first place in the finals." Wang Duoduo said with a smile.
The 100-meter race just now was the qualifying round, and the final will have to wait until tomorrow.
"Others are also very good. If I enter the final, I may not be able to take first place." Zhou Tongtong said modestly when her good friend was so sure that she could win the first place in the 100-meter race.
The two people were chatting, and other competitions on the playground began.
Seeing that students from their own class were participating in the competition, they stopped chatting and cheered for their classmates.
Time passed quickly, and it was noon before I knew it.
The announcement on the playground sounded, and the game came to an end temporarily.
Then everyone went to the cafeteria to have a meal. After lunch, they rested for a while before continuing with the rest of the competition.
Under the command of the head teacher, the primary school students lined up and headed to the canteen in an orderly manner.
After a while, all the teachers and students left the lively playground.
The originally quiet cafeteria began to become noisy, and many students queuing up for meals could be seen whispering to each other about the morning game.
"Meow...the afternoon game doesn't start so early, let's find something to eat first!" the little white cat said to the friends around him.
"Meow...ok!" The little black cat nodded, and then the two little guys turned around and left, running towards the campus wall.
Su Yue and Wang Jiao did not eat in the cafeteria at noon. They were going to eat noodles at a noodle shop outside the campus. They were walking together and had just come out of the campus.
"Those two kittens are so cute." From the corner of her eye, Wang Jiao noticed two kittens on the street in the distance, and then said to Su Yue beside her.
"It's them!" Su Yue looked in the direction pointed by Wang Jiao's finger, saw the little white cat and the little black cat, and said with a smile.
“Do you know them?”
“I met them this morning.”
“In their condition, they should be stray cats...” Wang Jiao said.
"It's most likely yes. If someone raised them at home, they wouldn't be allowed to run around like this." Su Yue nodded, agreeing with Wang Jiao's speculation.
"It's a pity that I already have dogs at home, otherwise I could take them home." Wang Jiao said regretfully.
Two people were chatting. The little white cat and the little black cat were waiting to cross the road. They felt someone staring at them and immediately turned their heads to look.
The eyes of both parties collided, and Wang Jiao waved kindly to the two little guys.
"Meow... is the person we met before." The little black cat ignored Wang Jiao, looked at Su Yue, and said to the friends around him.
"Meow... the light is green ahead. You can cross the road. Let's go." The little white cat saw the car stopped on the road. As he said this, he walked to the road first and walked between the cars. pass through the gap.
When the little black cat saw this, he immediately looked away from Su Yue and quickly followed the little white cat who left.
The two little guys crossed the road, came to the other side of the street, and ran to a small alley not far away.
“They know how smart they are to wait for the cars on the road to stop before crossing the road.” Wang Jiao said in surprise.
“These two little guys are quite smart.” Su Yue recalled the scene of their previous encounter and said with a smile.
Then the two people crossed the road and walked towards the noodle shop.
Because the school lunch time is a little earlier than that of office workers, Su Yue and Wang Jiao now come to the noodle shop to dine, and there are not many customers in the shop.
“What do you two want to eat?” asked the waiter at the noodle shop.
"Beef Ramen, add an extra portion of beef."
"I want beef noodles, add an extra portion of fried egg."
Su Yue and Wang Jiao ordered it. noodles and found an empty table to sit down.
It would be a while before the noodles would be served, so they took out their mobile phones from their pockets.
“Ding dong.”
Su Yue was about to open the short video software to watch some interesting short videos when her old classmate Wang Ling sent a message.
“Is the morning sports meeting over?”
“It’s over, now it’s time to have lunch outside.”
"Is it over so early?"
"It's okay! It's not too early."
"What do you eat for lunch?"
"Eating noodles."< br>
Su Yue turned on the camera of her mobile phone, took a photo of the inside of the noodle shop and sent it to Wang Ling.
"I'll also order some noodles for takeout later." Wang Ling hasn't had lunch yet.
"How was the flower shop's business this morning?" Su Yue asked.
“Not good, let’s see if we can get a few more orders this afternoon.” Wang Ling took a sip of water from her water glass, and then typed quickly.
"My sister called me just now and said that she was finished with her work and wanted to go out to have dinner together in the evening..."
"Okay! Where can we meet?" Su Yue asked.
Wang Ling told her the address where they met, and the two chatted for a few more words. Then the noodles Su Yue ordered were served, and they ended the chat, picked up their chopsticks, and started enjoying lunch.
More than half an hour later, Su Yue and Wang Jiao walked out of the noodle shop after finishing lunch.
The two of them returned the same way. When they passed by a milk tea shop, they bought two cups of milk tea, and then walked into the bustling campus while drinking milk tea.
On the street some distance from the school gate, there is a car parked in the shade under a big tree.
Zhang Xiaohao looked at Su Yue's graceful back, his mind was churning with thoughts, thinking about something.
During this period, he had been waiting for news, but it did not go well.
I was really busy today, so I quietly came to where Su Yue worked and waited to see if I could meet Su Yue.
I was quite lucky. Not long after waiting at the school gate, Zhang Xiaohao actually saw Su Yue going out to have lunch with her colleagues.
If Lin Li hadn't interfered before, Zhang Xiaohao would have definitely gotten out of the car at this time and ran over to say hello to Su Yue.
“Damn it.”
"It would be nice if there wasn't that guy Lin Li."
Zhang Xiaohao said angrily, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and hammered the steering wheel.
"Deep ring bell..." The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Zhang Xiaohao, who was very angry, heard the sound and immediately reached out and took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
“Okay, then go back.”
After Zhang Xiaohao answered the call, he put away his cell phone, started the car, turned around and headed back home quickly.
The person who called him just now was Wu Guilan, saying that he had something important to tell him and asked him to go home quickly.
…………
In a luxurious villa community.
In the living room on the first floor, Wu Guilan, who still retains her charm, is sitting on the sofa watching TV.
There is a clock hanging on the wall. Time passes minute by minute and the hands move slowly.
Wu Guilan raised her head from time to time and looked at the clock on the wall. It was obvious that she was thinking about other things and had no intention of watching TV.
There was a sound at the entrance, and within a few seconds, Zhang Xiaohao, who looked a little haggard, came into the living room.
Wu Guilan picked up the TV remote control next to her and turned off the TV. She looked at her son who was sitting on the sofa nearby and asked.
“Why are you coming back so slowly?”
"There was a traffic jam on the road, which delayed some time." Zhang Xiaohao replied.
Then he asked, "You said you have something to tell me, what is it?"
Wu Guilan took a deep breath, and then said with a serious face, "It has been several days. Oh my God, haven't you finished it yet?"
"..." Zhang Xiaohao remained silent.
“You should speak!” Wu Guilan urged.
"You can't rush this kind of thing."
"Time waits for no one. If you keep putting it off like this, how long will it take?"
"..." Zhang Xiaohao was silent again, this time he didn't wait. Wu Guilan urged, he said.
"They said the results will be available soon, just wait three or four days!"
"You..." Wu Guilan was furious, raised her hand and patted the sofa next to her, "Okay, I'll wait another three or four days as you said.
If there is still no progress by then, I will take charge of this matter. "
Zhang Xiaohao nodded. After talking about the important things, there was nothing else to talk about.
Then he got up and left the living room and returned to the study upstairs.
Wu Guilan looked at her son's leaving figure, raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and murmured to herself
"This child used to be very worry-free, how did he become like this now? ”
The mobile phone placed on the coffee table vibrated. Wu Guilan saw the screen of the mobile phone light up, and she immediately picked up the mobile phone.
After reading the messages sent by others, Wu Guilan quickly typed a reply, "I will give you an exact answer in three or four days."
…………
Villa In the study room on the second floor, Zhang Xiaohao came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.
The sun is quite strong at noon. Although it is not as hot as before, you will still sweat when you are exposed to the sun like this.
The cleaning staff who clean the community rest in the shade under the trees.
The patrolling security guard came from a distance and came to chat with the cleaning staff under the shade of the tree.
Zhang Xiaohao looked at the security guards and cleaning staff chatting and laughing in the distance, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
Withdrawing his gaze, he came to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.
What Wu Guilan said just now is still echoing in Zhang Xiaohao's mind, putting a lot of pressure on him.
If something goes wrong in dealing with Lin Li, there is a high probability that he will get into trouble, so Zhang Xiaohao doesn't want more people to know about it.
But there has been no news of success here. Wu Guilan kept urging her. If the delay lasted for a long time, she would definitely intervene forcefully.
"Can Mr. Xu do it?" Zhang Xiaohao, frowning in thought, said to himself.
I haven’t contacted the other party for a long time. Now because Wu Guilan is urging me, Zhang Xiaohao has to make a call.
Unlock the phone screen, open the address book, and find Xu Sanye’s phone number.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The phone rang several times, but no one answered the call. Zhang Xiaohao frowned.
“That guy won’t take my money and run away, right?”
“Probably not.”
“The only way to ruin your reputation is for this little money. Only a fool would do that.”
The call was connected, and a familiar voice came from the phone.
"Master Xu, how are you doing lately?" Zhang Xiaohao greeted with a smile.
"It's okay. You called to ask about the progress of that matter, right?" Mr. Xu said.
"Yes, it's been a long time. I want to know how things went?" Zhang Xiaohao saw that the other party pointed it out directly, so he didn't beat around the bush.
In the old house, Mr. Xu, who had been recuperating for a while, was recovering well and his face was glowing.
After listening to what Zhang Xiaohao said, Mr. Xu's eyes flashed with depression.
Sanye Xu has received many similar commissions, and he has successfully completed them every time before, with very high customer satisfaction.
However, Zhang Xiaohao's commission has encountered problems again and again, and it has not been completed until now, which is very frustrating.
"I'm really sorry that your commission hasn't been completed for so long." Xu Sanye said apologetically in order to stabilize the customer.
Originally, Zhang Xiaohao was very dissatisfied with Mr. Xu, but now that he saw the other party sincerely expressing his apology, his dissatisfaction disappeared a lot, and he quickly said it didn't matter.
The two parties exchanged greetings and the atmosphere became very harmonious.
However, the key issue has not been resolved, and no matter how harmonious the atmosphere is, it cannot be maintained continuously.
Sanye Xu said to Zhang Xiaohao, "Recently, the Superpower Management Bureau has been attacking everywhere. For safety reasons, it is not easy for me to take action here for the time being."
With the Superpower Management Bureau It is a very good excuse to use attacks everywhere as the reason for delay in completing the commission.
Zhang Xiaohao has also read the recent news, and it is true, so now that he heard the other person say this, he immediately believed it.
"That's it."
"Your commission will be completed soon after the Superpower Management Bureau calms down. Just wait patiently for a while..." Mr. Xu said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Hang up the phone and the study becomes quiet.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiaohao got up and left the study, went to the living room downstairs to find Wu Guilan, and explained the current situation to her.
"Tsk... It's really strange that this commission has never been completed." After answering the call, Mr. Xu threw the phone on the sofa aside and murmured to himself.
During this period, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he was also planning another important matter.
If Zhang Xiaohao messes up his commission, his credibility will be affected to some extent. In normal times, Mr. Xu would definitely have to increase his efforts to complete this commission.
But now another important matter is advancing rapidly, and Zhang Xiaohao's commission seems to be insufficient.
Choose one of the two, the choice is obvious.
Mr. Xu just found a reason to appease Zhang Xiaohao. After a period of time, the other party should not call again to inquire.
Next, he will focus on more important things and ensure that his mortal enemy is dealt with.
