This morning, Grandma Yao didnāt let Gu Lingling bring a lunch, because even if the lunchbox was wrapped in a towel, it would still be cold by the time she ate.
She gave Gu Lingling two meal tickets, "Thereās a dumpling shop across from the factory, go have a bowl and eat a meat bun, donāt save money."
Afraid that Gu Lingling wouldnāt eat enough or wouldnāt go eat, she had Zhao Jingmiao keep an eye on her.
Zhao Jingmiao knew it was Gu Linglingās first period, and took good care of her. The two walked into the dumpling shop together, and Gu Lingling glanced lightly at the two people sitting inside, showing no unusual expression.
After ordering the dumplings, she also asked for two buns. Zhao Jingmiao smiled and said, "We can go check out the dormitory later."
The factory was assigning dorms, though they didnāt know if they would get one this time. If they could, Zhao Jingmiao wanted to move into the dormitory.
After all, living at the Yao Familyās every day, even though Grandma Yao was very kind to her, and basically everything Gu Lingling had, she also had, Zhao Jingmiao still felt she was troubling Grandma Yao too much.
Especially since she went out of her way to make lunch for her to bring to the factory every noon.
"Sure." Gu Lingling said with a smile.
The two men next to them glanced at them, and one said, "I thought this matter was suspicious from the start too, rest assured I will investigate it clearly."
"Thank you then." As soon as they finished speaking, the dumplings were served, and Gu Lingling didnāt listen any further.
Their dumplings were also served. Gu Lingling took a sip of the soup and found it quite good.
"Gu Lingling, are you eating here too?" It was Zhou Qing who came in, followed by the awkward Tang Wei.
The man across, upon hearing Gu Linglingās voice, glanced at her with a slightly probing look. Gu Lingling pretended not to feel the gaze and smiled at Zhou Qing.
"Are you guys eating out today as well?"
"Yeah, suddenly felt like having dumplings." Zhou Qing smiled and pulled Tang Wei to sit at Gu Linglingās table, "Hope you donāt mind us joining."
Since they were already seated, what was there to mind? Besides, they were all from the same office.
But what puzzled her more was Tang Weiās attitude. Given how much he used to dislike her, he would have scorned the idea of sitting at the same table, right?
Today he surprisingly sat down so good-naturedly across from her.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Wei said coldly, "If you donāt want me to sit down, just say so."
Gu Lingling, "..."
Whose brat is this? Come and take him away, please.
Heās probably not much older than her, yet every time he speaks itās so infuriating.
Zhou Qing kicked Tang Weiās foot, and with a tinge of embarrassment, said to Gu Lingling, "Thatās just his temper, donāt take it to heart."
"But you canāt talk like that, our Lingling didnāt do anything to him." Zhao Jingmiao protested protectively.
Who cares if heās an engineering genius? Their Lingling is also quite impressive, okay?
With that grumpy face, youād think he was owed a fortune.
Zhao Jingmiao had long been displeased with Tang Weiās attitude.
Tang Weiās expression turned even more sour and he tried to stand up, but Zhou Qing pulled him back, "Eat your food, why is our food still not ready?"
Meanwhile, the two people next to them had already finished eating, but one of them didnāt rush to leave and instead walked over to Gu Linglingās table, "Excuse me, are you Gu Lingling?"
The man smiled warmly, but Gu Lingling saw that the smile didnāt reach his eyes, "Yes, and you are?"
"Iām Zhou Ting," the man introduced himself, "I know Gu Juan."
