A Woman Who Hates Women (GL) - Chapter 6

“Ding!” The sixth floor arrived.

“Ah, I’m here.” Li Jia waved another room card in her hand. As she stepped out of the elevator, she pressed the button for Lu Qing’s floor and reminded her, “Supervisor Lu, your room is on the twelfth floor.”

Li Jia walked out of the elevator and stood at the door.

She watched the elevator doors slowly close, smiled at Lu Qing inside, and said,

“Then I wish you a good night’s sleep.”

The moment the elevator doors closed, the smile on Li Jia’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a sullen look. Before she could even leave… the next second, the elevator doors slowly opened again, Lu Qing’s finger still on the open button.

Li Jia had no choice but to force her facial muscles to create another smile.

“Supervisor Lu, is there anything else?”

“I’ll transfer the room fee to you after the business trip,” Lu Qing said, looking at Li Jia. “Also, I just wanted to say goodnight.”

Li Jia: “……?”

Lu Qing: “Good night, Team Leader Li.”

Lu Qing’s expression when she said this actually looked very serious.

Li Jia had to respond, smiling as she replied, “……Good night, Supervisor Lu.”

The elevator doors closed again and went upstairs.

“……” Li Jia’s face turned cold.

Good night my foot!!!

What a psycho!!!

The South City Project meeting group had been established and running for a full month. Many architectural designers and engineers had worked themselves to the bone, and after multiple site visits, they finally found a feasible alternative plan.

The group’s resident local legal counsel was also actively obtaining the planning approval application.

Lu Qing had successfully managed to continue the stalled South City Supermarket project at almost the lowest possible cost.

Li Jia had also been exhausted during this time, being constantly ordered around by Lu Qing, running between the meeting room and the construction site, almost breaking her back.

Lu Qing seemed very dissatisfied with the part Li Jia was responsible for, always finding fault. Although Li Jia was unhappy, she had to admit that her superior’s ability was indeed stronger than hers, even in choosing plan optimizations, Lu Qing was much smarter.

But thankfully, it was finally coming to an end.

In the South City Project Department meeting room, Lu Qing, sitting at the head of the table, said coldly, “Okay, that’s all for today. We’ll deal with the rest tomorrow…”

Li Jia gathered the documents on the table, feeling a bit puzzled.

Today’s meeting ended surprisingly early.

As she walked out of the meeting room, Lu Qing called out to Li Jia.

“Team Leader Li, please wait a moment.”

Li Jia turned back: “?”

Lu Qing: “Let’s have dinner together later.”

Having eaten construction site box lunches for a month and almost losing her appetite, Li Jia’s eyes lit up.

“Dinner! Where are we going to eat!”

This woman Lu Qing finally couldn’t bear to see her hard work and was going to treat her to a meal!!!

“A good place.”

Lu Qing replied and picked up her coat, heading towards the door.

……

Ah, she knew why Lu Qing would suddenly be so kind as to treat her to dinner…

It turned out to be a drinking party!

But that’s fine too! This was her time to shine!!!

For the project!

And for the bonus after the project is completed!

Charge!!!

At the dinner with five or six people, Li Jia happily looked at Director Huang, the material supplier with a big gold chain, sitting opposite her. He seemed to be a heavy drinker. She put on a polite smile: “Director Huang, you have a great capacity for alcohol! It would be rude of me not to join you for this drink. Cheers!”

With that, Li Jia picked up the glass of white wine and drank it all in one go, then picked up the bottle and poured more: “Come on! Another one!”

“……” What was she doing? Lu Qing looked at Li Jia’s actions in surprise.

She didn’t expect this gentle and beautiful young lady to be such a good drinker.

Director Huang, who originally wanted to encourage drinking, looked shocked. After glancing at Lu Qing’s expression beside him, he slowly sat down with his wine glass. But Li Jia didn’t intend to let him go, pulling him to drink one cup after another. Later, after Director Huang went to throw up, he couldn’t help but advise, “Little Li, let’s, let’s not drink like this… it’s bad for your health…”

“Director Huang gave us such a good price, it’s only right to have a few drinks with you. Today! No matter what! We must make sure you have a good time! Come on! Drink!” Li Jia’s eyes were red from drinking, and she said loudly, her face flushed, but her eyes were bright. She looked at Director Huang and raised her glass again.

Lu Qing couldn’t stop her even if she wanted to.

Thirty minutes later…

Li Jia’s reckless drinking overwhelmed Director Huang. He quickly signed the contract, and his two subordinates supported him as he hurried out the door, saying his wife was checking up on him and he had to rush home.

Only Li Jia was left at the table. Lu Qing returned to the private room after seeing everyone off and saw this scene.

Completely drunk, Li Jia was squatting on the chair, playing with a wine glass on the table. She didn’t care when the glass rolled away. She turned her head and picked up chopsticks to grab some food, but a piece of vegetable leaf kept slipping off the chopsticks, and she couldn’t pick it up no matter how hard she tried.

“……Was the contract signed?” Li Jia asked, looking at Lu Qing who had come in.

“The contract was signed.”

She had drunk too much, Lu Qing replied with a frown.

“Let’s go, we should go back too.”

Lu Qing went over to help her up, but Li Jia pushed her away.

Li Jia frowned and said to Lu Qing, “I haven’t eaten yet?!”

Although Li Jia could drink, her behavior when drunk was not good.

Lu Qing had already experienced this.

Lu Qing had also drunk some, but she wasn’t drunk.

She picked up the wine glass that had fallen on the floor and placed it on the table, then went over to take the wobbly chopsticks from Li Jia’s hand.

“What are you doing!?”

Her chopsticks were snatched away, and Li Jia glared over, very displeased.

The whole gathering had been about drinking, and the dishes on the table hadn’t been touched much.

Lu Qing sat down in the seat next to her, holding the chopsticks, and casually asked, “Which one do you want to eat?”

“That one!” Li Jia randomly pointed to the fried small buns farthest away.

Lu Qing got up, brought the plate of small buns over, picked up one dipped in condensed milk, and held it to Li Jia’s mouth.

When the food reached her mouth, Li Jia pouted and turned her head away, “No…”

“You got the wrong one… I want the…” Li Jia’s eyes rolled, and her slender white finger pointed, “I want that one!”

Lu Qing followed the direction of her finger. Li Jia had just pointed to the dish that was next to the small buns before she brought them over.

Scallion beef.

Lu Qing brought it over, but before she could pick up her chopsticks, Li Jia shook her head, “You got it wrong again, you’re so clumsy…”

“It’s clearly that one~” Li Jia pointed to another dish, her wet eyes filled with a smile, looking at Lu Qing expectantly.

Lu Qing: “……”

A few minutes later, almost all the dishes on the other side of the table had been brought over by Lu Qing and arranged in a row in front of Li Jia.

Lu Qing held the chopsticks and patiently asked again, “Team Leader Li, which dish do you actually want to eat?”

Her tone rose slightly, seeming to carry a helpless smile.

Li Jia’s gaze swept over the dishes one by one.

“I want…” she frowned, seemingly not very satisfied with any of the dishes.

“What do you want?” Lu Qing asked.

Seeing Lu Qing’s patient demeanor, Li Jia suddenly smiled.

Hate women? How much could she hate them?

Lu Qing’s hand holding the chopsticks was still in mid-air when Li Jia suddenly turned her head and leaned over, swaying unsteadily.

“!” Lu Qing was caught off guard and instinctively wanted to support her. Her hand slipped, and the chopsticks fell onto the tiled floor with a crisp sound.

“Li Jia!” Lu Qing quickly grabbed Li Jia’s shoulders, stopping her from getting any closer.

The two were extremely close, their noses almost touching.

“I want…”

What did she want? Li Jia looked at Lu Qing with extreme focus, their gazes inevitably meeting.

Their eyes met, and their breaths intertwined.

It was too close, so close that Lu Qing could see her own reflection in the other’s hazy yet clear eyes.

She saw her own flustered and helpless expression in Li Jia’s eyes.

After a few seconds of this frozen position,

Li Jia suddenly moved. She looked at Lu Qing, and like before, extended her finger and gently poked Lu Qing’s cheek.

Just a gentle poke, and Lu Qing felt as if struck by lightning. Her whole body trembled, and she released her grip on Li Jia’s shoulders, letting her fall into her arms.

“Ouch…” Li Jia fell into a soft embrace, which was quite comfortable. She even naturally wrapped her arms around Lu Qing’s waist.

Her eyes were about to become moist, her breathing and heartbeat were about to go haywire.

Lu Qing, who had a blank expression, had a face that was even redder than the drunk Li Jia. She pursed her lips tightly, not daring to hug back, and could only grab the back of a nearby chair.

“Bang!” The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

“……” The waiter, thinking the meal was over and coming in to clean up, saw the two people hugging tightly.

“I’m so sorry!!!”

Followed by the sound of the waiter hurriedly retreating.

Li Jia lay motionless against Lu Qing’s neck, breathing out hot air, turning Lu Qing’s neck and the area up to her earlobes red.

It was always like this, acting crazy when drunk and then sleeping soundly, remembering nothing when she woke up.

This material supplier had already been contacted beforehand, everything had been negotiated, it was just a dinner together, and the intention wasn’t really to make her drink so much…

But hugging this person, so soft and warm… even the empty part in her heart seemed to be filled…

Lu Qing lowered her eyes and hesitated for a long time before daring to hold her waist.

What to do…

……

Hotel.

Li Jia woke up in her room in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty.

It was pitch black.

Her head throbbed in waves. Li Jia lay in bed and took a few deep breaths, then reached out to touch the bedside lamp.

The small orange night light turned on, illuminating a small area around her.

Her stomach burned from the alcohol. Li Jia sat up in bed and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water.

The cool liquid slid down her throat.

After a few sips, she finally felt much better.

She was still wearing the same clothes, probably hadn’t changed or washed up.

Li Jia smelled the alcohol on herself.

She could tolerate it when she was tipsy, but now that she was slightly more awake, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She rummaged through her luggage for a change of clothes and swayed towards the bathroom.

After taking a shower and coming out in a bathrobe, Li Jia walked to the bed, intending to go back to sleep. But then, something moved on the empty bed next to hers.

“!” Li Jia was startled, truly startled. She jumped to the window, grabbed the curtains, trying to hide herself, only revealing her head to look at the thing on the bed.

What the hell!!!… Wait, that shape, it’s clearly a person.

Thank goodness it’s not a ghost… No! Who is it!!!

It’s even scarier than a ghost! People are much more terrifying than ghosts!!!

Is the hotel security this bad?!!

A strange person actually broke into a guest’s room!!!

The content of legal channels kept flashing in her mind. Li Jia, almost about to shout, suddenly saw a pair of women’s leather shoes on the carpet by the bed.

“……” Swallowing hard, Li Jia choked back the sound that was about to escape her lips.

These shoes looked very familiar…

It seemed, it seemed to be the pair that someone wore today…
