From the beginning to the end, Fang Zhiqiang sat there and listened to the conversation between Li Xiaoxiao and Zheng Mingjie. He didn't say a word. He couldn't speak and couldn't get in the conversation at all. He could only listen. In fact, he felt very sad in his heart. feel bad.

He was not stupid. He could roughly understand what was going on from the conversation between Zheng Mingjie and Li Xiaoxiao. He also remembered the man who had returned from studying in the UK that Li Xiaoxiao had mentioned to her a few days ago. A childhood sweetheart brother. Obviously, this childhood sweetheart brother is the current man named Zheng Mingjie. Fang Zhiqiang is not stupid. Although Zheng Mingjie never said anything, it can be seen from Zheng Mingjie's eyes and attitude towards Li Xiaoxiao that he loves Li Xiaoxiao in his heart. So, Fang Zhiqiang actually felt very uncomfortable sitting there.

"Then it's settled, Qiangzi and I are very grateful to you." Li Xiaoxiao pulled Fang Zhiqiang and said to Zheng Mingjie.

Fang Zhiqiang had no choice but to smile awkwardly at Zheng Mingjie again, but after all, he did not say the word thank you.

"You're welcome, I've said it a long time ago. Ever since I was a child, as long as you ask me to help, no matter what it is, whether it is right or wrong, I have never refused. Since That's it, what are the arrangements for today? My uncle and aunt have agreed that we will go back for lunch together. It's not easy for me to help you with this cover."

"I... Qiangzi , are you free this afternoon? Can we go see a movie?" Li Xiaoxiao happily pulled Fang Zhiqiang over and asked.

“I have to go to work and don’t have time.” Fang Zhiqiang shook his head.

"It's true, how can you still work during the holidays? You... can't you ask for leave?" Li Xiaoxiao pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"No, no one in the company is here, I'm the only one, I can't leave, no one will be responsible if I leave." Fang Zhiqiang shook his head.

"It's really annoying, okay, then let's go back and have lunch." Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly in the end.

Zheng Mingjie looked at the watch on his hand, and then said: "It's already past eleven o'clock, let's go back, otherwise we will get a call later to remind you."

"Okay, Qiangzi, do you really have no time in the afternoon?" Li Xiaoxiao asked again.

"No, I have to go to work. There are no holidays in my job. The more holidays I have, the busier I will be." Fang Zhiqiang shook his head again.

"Then... well, then, Brother Mingjie, let's go back first. Let's go, don't you go back to the mall? Our car is also parked there, let's go there together?" Li Xiaoxiao said.

"No, I haven't drunk much coffee yet. You can leave first. I'll sit here for a while and then go over." Fang ZhiQiang shook his head again.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is the 7th, I still want to Go to work."

"It's really annoying. I'll come back to you when you're not busy someday. I'll go back first. You must remember to call me. Do you hear me?" Li Xiaoxiao said again A pursed mouth expresses dissatisfaction.

"Okay." Zheng Mingjie was here, and Fang Zhiqiang couldn't say anything, so he just nodded and said.

"Mr. Fang, I'll leave first. We'll see you next time when we have the chance." Zheng Mingjie stood up and extended his hand to Fang Zhiqiang.

Fang Zhiqiang also stood up, shook hands with Zheng Mingjie, and said: "Okay, goodbye."

"I'm leaving, Qiangzi, I will miss you. Yes, you must miss me too." Li Xiaoxiao said reluctantly, then turned around and walked out with Zheng Mingjie.

“Mr. Zheng, wait a moment.” Fang Zhiqiang suddenly called Zheng Mingjie.

　"Is there anything else, Mr. Fang?"

　"You don't need to call me Mr. Fang, just like Xiaoxiao, just call me Qiangzi. In fact, I am nothing The person in charge of this mall, Xiaoxiao, is trying to make me look good. I am actually just an ordinary employee of this company, the most ordinary employee who works part-time." Fang Zhiqiang said seriously.

"Ah...oh, that's good. It doesn't matter what job you do, as long as you and Xiaoxiao truly love each other, right? Is there anything else? Without us I'll take my leave now." Zheng Mingjie was stunned for a moment, and then said with the same smile.

"No, goodbye." Fang Zhiqiang shook his head.

"Goodbye then. Xiaoxiao, let's go. Are you sure you don't need to buy clothes?" Zheng Mingjie turned around and said to Li Xiaoxiao as he walked out.

"I won't buy it. I haven't even worn the set of clothes you sent me back from England last time..."

Then Zheng Mingjie and Li Xiaoxiao After walking away, Fang Zhiqiang could no longer hear the two talking.

Fang Zhiqiang sat there and took another sip of the coffee that had added sugar and couldn't tell whether it was sweet or bitter. He felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. It tastes sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, but it tastes like nothing. In short, I just feel very uncomfortable, as if something is blocking my heart. It's uncomfortable.

Fang Zhiqiang sat there, habitually taking out a cigarette from his pocket and preparing to smoke it, but when he saw that this was a cafe, he put the cigarette away. After looking at it, he shouted: "Waiter."

He considers himself a country bumpkin, so he cannot pronounce such an elegant word as "waiter".

“Let’s settle the bill, how much is it?” Fang Zhiqiang asked while taking out his wallet.

"Hello sir, the gentleman in front of your coffee table has already paid."

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang felt angry for no reason and said : "Why should he pay for the coffee I drink? Why should I charge him? Even though I have no money, can't I afford a cup of coffee? How much is it? This cup is mine."

" Sir, I..."

"Tell me, how much is my cup? I'll pay for it myself. The money he paid for my cup of coffee will be regarded as your tip." Fang Zhiqiang was angry.

"One hundred and fifty-eight" the waiter said helplessly, but he was very happy when he heard that there was a tip.

"You guys are robbing a bank? A cup of something like this costs so much? One hundred and fifty-eight, okay. Also, how much does that lady's coffee cost?"

"One hundred and eighty-eight." The waiter said again.

　"Okay, this is three hundred and fifty yuan. It's the money for the coffee between me and this lady. The money he paid us counts as your tip. It's the money for the coffee between me and this lady. I paid for it, hurry up and give me four dollars." Fang Zhiqiang said to the waiter.

"Huh?" The waiter looked at Fang Zhiqiang with wide eyes. He really didn't expect that Fang Zhiqiang, who insisted on paying more than three hundred yuan for coffee, ended up asking for four yuan. In this kind of Western-style cafe, you usually give the change as a tip to the waiter.

"What's wrong? Did I make a mistake in my calculation? One hundred and fifty-eight plus one hundred and eighty-eight is not three hundred and forty-six? I gave you three hundred and five, shouldn't you come to me? Four yuan?" Fang Zhiqiang said angrily.

"Oh, okay, wait a moment, I'll give you change." The waiter obediently ran to the cashier and handed four pieces of one-dollar bills to Fang Zhiqiang. Fang Zhiqiang took the four yuan change. Walked out of the coffee shop.
