"Okay, I'm going to bed. Otherwise, I won't be able to wake up tomorrow!" Qin Qiao'er didn't want to listen to Tu Qinqin's nagging. She thought it was better to spend the time sleeping.
"Sure, go quickly. I'll go to bed after I finish this facial mask." Tu Qinqin gently patted the mask on her face to help her skin absorb better.
The next day, the warm sunlight shone on the window sill, filtering through the curtains and falling on the quilt.
Suddenly, the quilt wriggled, revealing Qin Qiao'er's petite face. Her tightly - closed eyes, cherry - like lips and slightly long eyelashes made people fall into endless reverie.
Suddenly, there came a rapid knock on the door. "Qiaoqiao! Qiaoqiao... Wake up!"
Qin Qiao'er quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her ears and rolled over to continue sleeping. She didn't want to leave the warm quilt.
But the knocking on the door was really unbearable for her. "I know. I'll get up now. Stop knocking!"
Qin Qiao'er still had a bit of a morning temper. Tu Qinqin, who was standing outside the door, stopped knocking after hearing the response. If Qin Qiao'er hadn't responded, she would have wanted to kick the door open.
"I'll go heat up the breakfast first. Hurry up and come out to eat. Didn't you say yesterday that you would take Chenchen and Wanwan to school? And aren't you going to a competition later?" Knowing Qin Qiao'er's habit of oversleeping, Tu Qinqin deliberately mentioned the last thing.
As soon as Qin Qiao'er heard about the competition and taking Chenchen and Wanwan to school, she immediately woke up. She propped up her tired body, pushed away the warm quilt, and said, "You dead woman. Okay, I know. I'll get up right away. Wait."
Hearing the hurried sounds from inside the room, Tu Qinqin showed a triumphant smile, then turned around to heat up the breakfast.
"Where are Chenchen and Wanwan?" Qin Qiao'er finally finished washing up and came out to see that the breakfast had already been touched.
"Wait for you? Lazy pig. Look at the time. I just took Chenchen and Wanwan to the school bus stop. They've already left on the school bus." Tu Qinqin slowly tore a piece of bread.
"I'm such an unqualified mother..." Qin Qiao'er said dejectedly, thinking about how confidently she had said yesterday that she would take Chenchen and Wanwan to kindergarten.
"Come on, it's okay. You should think about how well - behaved Chenchen and Wanwan are. They don't need you to take them to kindergarten." Tu Qinqin comforted Qin Qiao'er.
"Um..." Qin Qiao'er wasn't very enthusiastic.
"Come on, eat quickly. Otherwise, we won't have enough time!" Tu Qinqin urged Qin Qiao'er.
"Are you going with me?" Qin Qiao'er looked at Tu Qinqin in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you? Our company has been acquired. I'm an employee of Zhao's Group from now on. Today is my first day at work, so I have to hurry." Tu Qinqin poured a glass of milk for Qin Qiao'er.
Qin Qiao'er nodded slightly and ate breakfast faster.
"I'll go downstairs and reverse the car to wait for you. Try to be as fast as you can!" Tu Qinqin changed her shoes and said hello to Qin Qiao'er.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll come down right away."
After a while, Qin Qiao'er hurriedly finished her breakfast. She picked up the bag hanging behind the door, checked her appearance, touched up her lipstick, and then rushed out of the house. She didn't want anything to go wrong on such an important day as the finals. She had advanced in the semi - finals last time, and she couldn't lose this time.
"Get in the car. Let's go!" Tu Qinqin said coolly.
"Got it!" Qin Qiao'er opened the car door, and the two of them rushed to Zhao's Group in a hurry.
Zhao's Group used to be the place where she had full of dreams - because she wanted to be a voice - over artist. However... as soon as she reached adulthood, she had encountered such a thing that shattered her dream, and she had to flee abroad.
She thought she had forgotten this dream, but unexpectedly, her first job after returning to China was exactly what she had always longed for. Qin Qiao'er adjusted her breathing.
Zhao's Group ranked first in City A. Zhao Youting from Zhao's Group was experienced and capable, which Qin Qiao'er had witnessed. Moreover, he was a bit of a cold - faced person.
Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but recall Zhao Youting. Come to think of it, she realized that she had never really seen his face clearly.
Qin Qiao'er clenched her fists. Today was the finals. She had to compete well and win the prize money so that she could provide a better environment for the kids and let them survive in this harsh world.
Only by putting pressure on herself could Qin Qiao'er perform better.
She didn't want to make money by relying on Chenchen and Wanwan. She wanted to rely on herself to create a good environment for the kids and pursue her own dreams.
"What's wrong, Qiaoqiao?" Tu Qinqin asked, looking at Qin Qiao'er whose face didn't look very good.
"I'm okay!" Qin Qiao'er took a deep breath.
With a nervous heart, Qin Qiao'er and Tu Qinqin arrived at the entrance of Zhao's Group.
She took a deep breath and slowly said to herself, "Come on, Qin Qiao'er. You can do it."
After saying that, she made a cheering gesture to herself, then pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
Tu Qinqin couldn't help laughing when she saw such a cute Qin Qiao'er.
"Qiaoqiao, I'm going to work. You go to the competition by yourself. I'll pick you up after the competition." Tu Qinqin said nervously as there was not much time left.
"Okay, go ahead..." Qin Qiao'er said to her.
Watching the elevator door close bit by bit, Qin Qiao'er waved goodbye to Tu Qinqin. It was only when the door was completely closed that Qin Qiao'er realized that she didn't know which floor the competition room was on.
She quickly called Tu Qinqin, but the voice said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service..."
There was no signal in the elevator. Qin Qiao'er slapped her forehead.
Forget it. I'll ask someone myself.
Qin Qiao'er saw a sign pointing to the finals of the voice - over competition. She thought she had found it, but when she looked closely, it didn't say which floor it was on. It only indicated the direction of the elevator.
This really stumped Qin Qiao'er. She wasn't sure which floor was the competition venue, so she didn't dare to go upstairs.
She thought to herself: I'd better find someone to confirm it first. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if I went to the wrong floor.
She looked around and saw a woman sitting at the front desk. The woman had bright red lips and long golden wavy hair.
Qin Qiao'er couldn't help thinking to herself, She's so beautiful!
After being in a daze for a few seconds, Qin Qiao'er showed a polite smile on her face and asked, "Hello, I'm here for the finals today. May I ask which floor it's on?"
The receptionist looked Qin Qiao'er up and down seriously, then said, "Hello, it's on the 18th floor. You can just go up from there."
Qin Qiao'er looked at the direction she pointed to, nodded, thanked her, and then quickly walked over.
