148: Chapter 148 Tang Luochuan, the Saintly Body of Picking Up Girls, Gently Picks the Department Flower in the Cafeteria
Zhu Jianhua was so choked by Tang Luochuan's words that he rolled his eyes. He dragged him towards the cafeteria, fearing this kid would say something shocking again: "Just shut up, 'founded in the Jurassic period'? You really dare to say anything! Hurry up and eat, I have to go back to fix bugs after eating."
Being dragged along, Tang Luochuan wouldn't let it go: "Brother, I'm serious! Look at your lips, they're turning purple. Maybe your heart isn't doing well. Nothing is more important than your life. If it really comes to it, I'll give you tens of thousands... a hundred thousand! Just take a break."
He could tell that in just a few short days, his cousin had been worked to the point of being unrecognizable.
He used to think that being a little tired was fine, and since the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming up, a few days of rest would be enough.
But it turned out there was no break for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although he hadn't spent much time playing with him in the years since they grew up...
...they still had a childhood bond, after all. Besides, human life is at stake; nothing else matters.
As soon as the two entered the cafeteria, they instantly attracted a sea of gazes.
Tang Luochuan frowned at the group of people and muttered: "Holy crap, so many wage slaves?"
These words drifted lightly into Supervisor Liu Xianmin's ears, making the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
Some people's malice is forced out of them; everyone is just working for the boss.
There's only so much 'dog food' to go around, and a pack of mad dogs is scrambling for it. In the eyes of capital, you are just a dog—a dog fighting for scraps.
Whichever one is the fiercest eats the most.
What surprised everyone was that Zhu Jianhua, this 'Eldest Brother', actually had a brother who looked like the 'Second Brother'.
He was quite a bit shorter than Tang Luochuan, his build was thin, and he was nowhere near as sturdy as Tang Luochuan.
However, Tang Luochuan didn't have a bodybuilder's physique; he just had a good frame. Zhu Xiumei often praised her son for being a natural clothes hanger.
"Luochuan, leave as soon as you're done eating! I'll probably go back up in a bit; I can't keep you company, time is limited. I appreciate your good intentions."
Zhu Jianhua held onto him tightly; he didn't want to owe any more favors.
He also didn't understand Tang Luochuan's thinking, always feeling that the other party wanted to give him work because he felt he was working too hard.
Tang Luochuan did think he was working hard, but that was just a recent realization. Mainly, he thought he was professionally qualified and was one of his own.
Plus, Zhu Jianhua had a personality where he didn't really know how to resist or lie.
Besides, with his mother acting as the cousin, in the old Zhu family, a woman like Zhu Xiumei, with her carefree personality and swift, decisive way of doing things, had always been the backbone of the family.
Zhu Jianhua also tended to listen to her.
"Brother, my mom said you should stay in Shanghai for a few more days and go visit her when you have time." Tang Luochuan was dragged to the food serving counter.
Zhu Jianhua replied: "Alright, I got it! What do you want to eat? Ribs? Pork tenderloin? Or something else?"
"Hey! Beauty!" Meanwhile, Tang Luochuan's gaze had locked onto a girl who was serving food.
The girl looked at the boy in front of her and was indeed attracted to him.
He looked like a handsome "wolf dog" type of younger guy—what girl wouldn't love that!
So she looked at him a few extra times, and he returned a smile.
"Hello..." The girl heard the greeting and responded enthusiastically.
Zhu Jianhua immediately frowned, but inside he was shocked: "This guy has such good luck with women??"
"I'll have a portion of ribs, add a portion of Di San Xian, and a soup will do. I ate a mooncake on the way here! I'm not hungry..." Tang Luochuan said, then looked at the girl again: "Miss, are you eating alone?"
"Yeah~~ My friend took leave, after all, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I have no choice!"
"What about a boyfriend?"
"None... I'm single..." As she said this, the girl turned away shyly and picked up the tray with the food she had just served.
"How pitiful..." Tang Luochuan said, but inside he was also a bit surprised: "What the hell is wrong with me? I'm so at ease with picking up girls, without even thinking? Everything just comes so naturally? Am I a natural-born ladies' man?"
"Little brother, do you work at our company?" the girl asked cautiously.
Tang Luochuan shook his head: "No, I'm here to see my brother. Do you know Zhu Jianhua?? This is my brother!"
He pointed to his cousin who was swiping his meal card ahead. Zhu Jianhua listened with trepidation: Is he demonstrating for me? Or is he performing for everyone on how to pick up girls? He didn't even use any tactics, so why?
When Zhu Jianhua had served two plates of food and wanted to ask Tang Luochuan to come over and help carry them...
...his cousin had already added that girl on WeChat.
"Luochuan... hey... help me out." Zhu Jianhua felt even worse inside; his cousin was being dashing and suave, picking up girls with ease.
He still had to go back to write code after eating. The gap between people is just too big, isn't it?
Tang Luochuan blinked, leaving the girl with endless fantasies, and then followed Zhu Jianhua to the side.
As soon as they sat down, Zhu Jianhua wanted to tell his cousin that the girl just now was the department flower of the Administration Department.
But as soon as Tang Luochuan sat down, he said: "If I wanted to sleep with that girl, I could get it done tonight! Too bad she looks average, I'll just give her some face! Don't worry, I won't mess with the girls in your company."
Zhu Jianhua thought his ears had misheard, and said: "You could get it done tonight if you wanted to sleep with her? Looks average? You won't mess with our company's girls? I thank you so much."
"Let's talk business! Brother, tell your wife this afternoon to move in with you. Also, you really need to pay attention to rest. Look at you..." As he said this, he lifted Zhu Jianhua's bangs: "Your hairline is too high. If it continues like this, you'll end up like Ge You."
"Oh, I know! I am feeling a bit uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter. Once I finish this, I'll take leave and rest for a few days."
Zhu Jianhua said helplessly. He hadn't been feeling well lately; besides the matter with Meng Fanyi, his body was also extremely exhausted.
It felt like his whole body hadn't woken up. Every time he finished working and lay on the bed, he always felt like the day was like a dream.
But Tang Luochuan's arrival today really lifted his spirits.
With a rich relative as a background, he actually felt a sudden urge to quit his job.
It didn't seem like such a big deal after all.
Zhu Jianhua shoveled a few bites of rice, told Tang Luochuan to eat slowly, and then left.
But as soon as he returned to the office, the whole atmosphere felt a bit off.
Zhang Qianming and the others immediately gathered around.
"Brother Zhu, who was that young guy just now?"
"That's my cousin!"
"Did you come here to experience life?"
"I came here to work!"
"That car is a rolls-royce cullinan, right..."
"I don't know, probably."
"Did you see his watch?" Zhang Qianming suddenly asked.
Everyone was a bit confused. They saw that Tang Luochuan was wearing a watch, but no one knew what brand it was.
Zhang Qianming took out his phone, which showed the watch information he had just searched for: "Richard Mille. This one is considered cheap, over a million..."
