Chapter 126 - 126 Hunger
126 Hunger
Qu Zhi didn’t sleep for the entire night. She only felt something was on her mind, so she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Liang Wen tried to persuade her, “Why are you forcing yourself? Don’t you still have me?” This was a small problem. Even if she had to go to court, Liang Wen knew the best lawyer in Jiang City. What was Qu Zhi worried about?
Qu Zhi felt uncomfortable depending on him all the time. She could do it on her own. It was just a lawsuit, so why did she have to rely on him for such a small matter?
She didn’t want to.
Qu Zhi mumbled a reply and snuggled under the blanket to sleep. She actually suffered from insomnia and usually woke up in the morning. However, she still had to treasure this precious time and rest for a while.
In the morning, Qu Zhi felt a bitter taste in her mouth and her head was spinning. She only got up at eight o’clock today, an hour later than usual.
Liang Wen had told her not to go to the factory anymore, but she didn’t listen.
The only word in Qu Zhi’s mind was “evidence”.
She even asked Lin He to go with her today to see if they could find the pirated factory and sue them in court.
Although she didn’t rest well, Qu Zhi was still full of energy. This was her, Chuchu, and Sisi’s company, and she was the only one who could protect it.
They walked around Jiang City twice and stopped to take a look when they saw a shop selling scarves. In the end, there was still no result after an entire morning.
Lin He felt that there was no chance, but Qu Zhi had not given up yet. She was willing to accompany Qu Zhi.
“Let’s go eat.” Qu Zhi felt her stomach growling. At this time, they were already in the suburbs. There were no clean stalls, only snack stalls. She immediately saw a small noodle restaurant at the side. It looked cleaner.
“Here?” Lin He’s eyes widened.
Lin He had never eaten in a small eatery before. She had a feeling that she would definitely get a stomachache if she ate there. The workers were still crowding around to eat, and Lin He could smell their sweat from far away.
“I’m famished. I’ll eat first.” Qu Zhi didn’t care.
It was really hard for the workers to do physical work and earn hard money. There was no need to look down on anyone. Qu Zhi was really hungry. She didn’t eat much in the morning and had been running the whole morning. Her legs were already weak and she couldn’t take it anymore.
They found a clean table and sat down. Lin He had to wipe the table again with a handkerchief. They were surrounded by workers from the nearby construction site. They were either sitting or squatting casually, sizing up the two beautiful young women.
Lin He couldn’t help but shiver, but Qu Zhi didn’t care. She only felt that she was famished, so she sat down and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
Lin He swallowed her saliva and felt a little hungry, so she ordered a bowl of egg-fried rice.
As soon as the noodles were served, Qu Zhi couldn’t bear it anymore. The workers were in a hurry to eat and had to return to work, so the food here was solid carbon water.
The beef was stewed until it was soft, and the noodles were chewy. The taste was to her liking. Five Yuan. The bowl of noodles was bigger than her face.
Even in Jiang City at this time, it was impossible to give such a large portion of beef noodles to customers. Even if they did, it would only be a few slices of beef.
Qu Zhi’s appetite had never been so good before. She ate a bowl of noodles with a few chopsticks, but she still felt that it was not enough, so she ordered another bowl. At this time, Lin He was still slowly feeding herself with a small spoon, and the rice in her bowl was still the same.
Lin He raised her eyebrows at Qu Zhi. “Are you alright, Qu Zhi? Are you under too much pressure? Don’t get an upset stomach after eating so much.”
Qu Zhi shook her head. She was really hungry. The workload was heavy and it took a lot of energy. If she didn’t eat something, she would be hungry again in the afternoon.
“It’s fine. The noodles are delicious.” Qu Zhi didn’t even feel bloated. The more she ate, the less pressure she felt and the more energetic she became. Her eyes gradually lit up.
When they were about to leave after eating, Qu Zhi gave the boss a thumbs up. “Your restaurant is really delicious. It’s even better than the ones in the city.”
“If it’s delicious, come often,” the lady boss greeted with a smile.
At this moment, Qu Zhi noticed that the lady boss was wearing a dark orange scarf.
It was a scarf designed by her company.
