82: Chapter 82 Don't spread gossip! Uh... they already know everything?!

In the evening, Qin Xun felt he couldn't keep slacking off, so he walked out of the hotel, got on his electric scooter, and went to deliver food again.

Ten points of slacking-off value per hour is still something!

Qin Xun stared at the delivery platform for a long time before finding a suitable order, which was to be delivered to Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Because the location was quite far and rather remote, there were almost no orders along the way, so he couldn't earn much money.

No other delivery rider wanted to take such orders. But Qin Xun liked them.

Suddenly, he remembered taking Xia Ning to this hospital for prenatal care before, so he shook his head and sighed.

"What a... silly woman."

The next day, under Xia Ning's organization and arrangement, the staff at Oak Company cooperated fully with the advertising agency for the shoot.

Because they were striving for quality, and since Qin Xun, Xia Ning, and the other colleagues at Oak Company had no acting experience, each scene had to be filmed many times.

By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted.

However, everyone was very happy, feeling that their acting skills were comparable to those of a movie star and that they would be winning awards soon!

After work, everyone dispersed from the set and went home.

When Xia Ning wanted to find Qin Xun, she discovered that he had already hopped on his electric scooter and zipped away.

Xia Ning watched his back disappear around the street corner, feeling somewhat disappointed.

After all, they were roommates; couldn't he have at least asked if she wanted a ride?

At this moment, Cheng Wan walked up and asked in a low voice, "President Xia, would you like a ride?"

Xia Ning: "No."

Cheng Wan felt a bit awkward. Xia Ning was silent for a moment, then explained, "Cars get stuck easily; I prefer electric scooters."

In the evening, Qin Xun stayed at the hotel for a while, but feeling bored, he got on his electric scooter again to deliver food and clear his head.

Perhaps because his slacking-off value was growing too slowly, he had been feeling irritable lately and wanted someone to talk to, even if it meant having a huge argument with a customer!

Just as he walked out of the hotel, he received a WeChat message from Xia Ning: [Where exactly are you living right now?]

He didn't reply.

For a pregnant woman to be sending messages late at night, he, as a man with basic morals, would definitely stay far away.

He hadn't walked many steps before a WeChat voice call from Xia Ning popped up. Qin Xun didn't even think about it and hung up immediately.

Immediately, Xia Ning sent another message: [Being this stingy, you're not a man!]

Qin Xun looked at this sentence, unable to understand it, and only felt wronged.

Only a true gentleman could reject a beautiful woman's call in the middle of the night, okay?

He found another unclaimed order on the delivery platform, again for Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital. It was for a cup of hot milk tea.

When he saw the note, he laughed. "How is it that auntie from yesterday again?"

"She likes ordering takeout so much, do her husband and son know?"

He was very happy because that Auntie Yang was very generous and would give an extra tip of 66 yuan after the delivery was completed. What a lovable auntie!

The third day. They filmed for another day. The people from the advertising agency were exhausted.

Having received several hundred thousand from them, they dared not be sloppy with the quality of the final footage, lest they be suspected of scamming them.

"President Qin, we will work overnight on the post-production, and we will be able to give you the final footage by tomorrow morning at the latest." "If you have any suggestions, just let us know, and we can make revisions."

Qin Xun nodded. "Okay!"

After parting ways with the advertising agency staff, Xia Ning watched them get into their car, her gaze fixed on the camera in their hands, her eyes full of hope.

She was the female lead in the promotional video, and her screen time was even higher than Qin Xun's.

Qin Xun saw a look of happiness on her face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Thinking about the hard work of the past few days, Xia Ning smiled. Thinking about being able to show off in front of her father, she uncharacteristically said a long paragraph.

"I have a very strange feeling; my mood right now is like... waiting for my own child to be born, and I am especially certain that this child will be a very impressive baby."

Qin Xun: "..." He found it a bit strange and got goosebumps all over.

"Then I wish both mother and child safety."

Xia Ning was stunned for a moment, nodded in thanks, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you looking forward to it?"

Qin Xun shook his head, walked to the side of the road, got on his electric scooter, turned his head, and looked quietly at Xia Ning, as if he had something to say.

Xia Ning watched him silently, feeling a hint of expectation in her heart, which then turned into conflict.

If he asks me to hop on for a ride later, should I get on? Uh... it wouldn't be good if he found out I live in a villa area, right?

But she saw Qin Xun exhale heavily through his nose. "I am not looking forward to it!"

Xia Ning: "???" She felt a bit disappointed and, locking horns with Qin Xun, said coldly,

"You put in quite a lot of effort for this 'child,' so you can be considered its father." Her voice was not quiet.

Hearing her say this, Qin Xun looked a bit panicked. "Xia Ning, given your current physical condition, could you please not make such random metaphors?"

"You really are a... big... genius!" After saying that, he twisted the throttle and sped away.

Xia Ning: "???" She watched Qin Xun's back, her eyes growing cold.

A dog can't stop eating poop! You scolded me again! Xia Ning was a bit angry.

You're allowed to use "giving birth" as a metaphor for "confession," but I'm not allowed to use "child" as a metaphor for "work success"? What a high-and-mighty attitude!

After a while, Cheng Wan quietly walked over, glanced down at the hand Xia Ning had resting on her stomach, and lowered her voice.

"President Xia, would you like a... a... a ride?"

Xia Ning turned to look and saw that Cheng Wan's expression was a bit strange. "President Xia, I'm riding an... el... electric scooter today."

Xia Ning found it strange; why had Cheng Wan become a stutterer? "No."

Cheng Wan: "..." She breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good you aren't; it's good you aren't. Electric scooters aren't safe; electric scooters aren't safe."

Cheng Wan turned to look in the direction where Qin Xun had disappeared and shook her head. Scumbag!

Xia Ning just felt that Cheng Wan was being a bit long-winded today, so she waved down a taxi and went home.

Cheng Wan stood by the side of the road and sighed. Suddenly, she noticed some figures gathering around her, and when she turned to look, she discovered it was a few female colleagues from the Finance Department.

They were the ones who loved gossiping the most. Cheng Wan warned them with a serious face.

"The ad video comes out tomorrow, and there's still a tough battle to fight." "You are not allowed to spread gossip!"

After saying this, she saw seven or eight male colleagues gradually gathering around. "..." Her expression was awkward.

"Why haven't you guys left either?" After a while, someone finally answered.

"The boss hasn't left, so how could we be embarrassed to leave first?" Saying that, he pointed. "Look! The rest are over there!"

Cheng Wan saw a group of people leaning crookedly against a wall and felt a headache, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

President Xia, this was what you said yourself; I didn't spread any bad rumors about you.

In the evening, Qin Xun went to deliver food again, refreshed the order-grabbing platform for a long time, and finally managed to grab that order for the auntie at Haixing Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

He went to the fruit shop and looked at a basket of what looked like high-end purple fruit. He sighed.

"196 a basket; Xia Ning loves to eat these too." He was silent for a moment. "How much money does she even make? Does she deserve it?!"

Qin Xun rode very fast, not slacking off. He arrived at the destination, knocked on the door, and entered the hospital room.

"Auntie Liu, I'm here!" Auntie Liu sat on the bed and nodded with a smile.

"Little Qin, it really is you again!"

Qin Xun smiled, and just as he placed the fruit basket on the dining table, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw it was Xia Ning. She was actually still calling via WeChat video.

In the middle of the night, how could a woman be so shameless as to video call a man?

Qin Xun felt a bit annoyed, looked at the pregnant woman on the bed, and suddenly revealed an innocent, harmless smile on his face.

"Auntie Liu, I'd like to ask you for a favor; please help me reject a shameless woman."
