Chapter 1177: Troubles for the sake of mediocrity
So, instead of forcing yourself to do another job, you might as well be busy with something you are interested in.
Seventeen hung up the phone, and the person who had finished breakfast and came to pick up the clothes arrived. Seventeen took out her husband's and her own clothes. The employees of the laundry company folded the clothes in front of Seventeen, and turned out the pockets and other things.
Employees who come to collect clothes at customers' homes usually check the clothes again and again when they collect them to confirm that there are no bank cards or other valuables forgotten by customers among the clothes they take away. The laundry company has had many cases where customers have tried to track down lost items but to no avail and eventually complained to the company, so employees who come to collect items at customers' homes are now very cautious.
Seventeen understood that this was their job, so he waited patiently for people to check. When they were about to close the door, the other party handed a button to Seventeen.
"Madam, please keep the button in Mr. Zhou's pocket."
Seventeen was stunned and took it hesitantly. Buttons?
"Is it from Mr. Lu's clothes?" Seventeen subconsciously took the clothes to look at them. The two styles did not match at all. The husband's coat was a neat suit, and inside was a shirt. She recognized the simple white buttons on the shirt, but the buttons in her hand belonged to a woman.
The button is not big, and it is an exquisite and gorgeous decorative button like a snapback. Seventeen really couldn't remember which of his clothes had buttons like this.
"No, it should be on your clothes, Mrs. Zhou. We will leave first. Sorry for disturbing you." The other staff member said respectfully.
"Okay." Seventeen closed the door and muttered, "Which button of my clothes are you looking for?"
She put the button directly on the dressing table and turned on the computer to play games. At noon, when her husband called to remind her to have lunch, Seventeen's eyes inexplicably glanced at the button again. After answering a word, she hung up the phone and started rummaging through the locker with the button, comparing them one by one.
No, not her button.
Seventeen leaned against the wall and looked at the button carefully. There was a pearl on the button. Of course, it was a low-quality fake plastic bead. After Seventeen polished off the outer layer of paint, she became more certain that this thing did not belong to her.
Even though she didn't have a job, there was no way any of her things were fake. The pearls and rhinestones adorning her clothes couldn't be fake.
It appeared in the clothes the husband wore yesterday, so it undoubtedly belonged to a woman who was close to the husband.
Is that his girlfriend from last night?
It is common to bring a female companion when attending a cocktail party or dance. It is rare for a person to appear alone at such an occasion. Bringing a female companion is a sign of respect for the organizer and yourself.
Even though Seventeen was holding another woman's buttons at this moment, she would not think about what her husband was doing outside. She really trusted her husband enough.
I called Lu Jiang and asked a few simple questions.
Lu Jiang was a little confused and tried to phrase it: "He did show up with a female companion, but I didn't notice what she looked like. She was a very ordinary woman. She must have been a company employee who was brought in to make up the number."
In fact, Lu Jiang did not notice Zhou Haoyu. Zhou Haoyu did greet him personally, but he was too busy at the time. When he appeared at the chamber of commerce, he was surrounded by many business executives. When Zhou Haoyu came up to greet him, he just took the time to respond. Lu Jiang didn't pay much attention to Zhou Haoyu himself, let alone his female companion.
At least, his female companion was a temporary recruit from the company.
No matter how ugly a woman is, as long as she dresses up carefully, she can still look presentable. That's why Lu Jiang never uses young models from runway shows to impress himself. If the female companion is too eye-catching, it won't really help him.
"Oh, is that so?" Seventeen asked suspiciously.
Thinking about the scene when her husband came home last night, well, she was thinking too much. Women, by nature, love to fantasize.
In the past, her husband rarely came home, so she had all kinds of suspicions. Now that her husband comes home late every day, she still has all kinds of suspicions about him. She is such an unfit wife.
"Brother, thank you. You go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up." Seventeen hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he was worrying about nothing and walked out of the room in his slippers.
The meal I ordered online has been delivered. Eating is so convenient now. I don’t want to make a phone call and can just place an order online. For a stay-at-home like Seventeen, the convenience of ordering online is really thoughtful.

Kou Quan and Zhou Lan'er's wedding date has been set, three months later, in mid-August.
Zhou Lan'er went to the hospital to find Kou Quan, but Kou Quan had gone to the inpatient department to see the patients and was not in the outpatient office.
Before Zhou Lan'er went to find Kou Quan, she asked a local courier to deliver the car that Lu Jiang had taken away. She was very happy at this moment because she had painted her masterpiece on the exterior of Lu Jiang's luxury sports car.
Sitting in Kou Quan's seat like a doctor, he flipped through the various case studies on the table and found it very boring.
However, a plan for a medical beauty hospital in the drawer caught her attention. Zhou Lan'er was stunned for a moment, picked up the plan and flipped through it. It was just a prototype and no more information could be seen.
Zhou Lan'er flipped through a few pages and put the book back. There was some noise outside the office. Zhou Lan'er frowned and was about to get up when the door was pushed open. Two women in their forties rushed in, looking excited.
"Doctor Kou..."
"Hello, are you here to see a doctor? Wait for the doctor to come back..."
"My sister and I didn't come to see a doctor. We came to see Dr. Kou to save my child's life! He accepted the red envelope, but the operation still failed. My child still passed away. He is here to save my child's life..."
Zhou Lan'er was so frightened by the two people that she didn't dare to move. She tried her best to force herself to explain with a smile.
"It might be a misunderstanding... The patient's condition is not good and the expected effect has not been achieved. It's all fate..."
"Who are you? Doctor Kou, come out! If you don't, we'll burn this place down and sue him for bribery and murder!"
"Don't get excited, ladies. Have a drink of water first. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly. Doctor Kou has gone for rounds. Let's talk after he comes back." Zhou Lan'er quickly poured a glass of water for the two and handed it to them.
The shorter woman wanted to take over, but was pushed by the person next to her and took a step back.
Just as Zhou Lan'er was about to speak, the water in her hand was pushed to the ground.
"..." Zhou Lan'er was dumbfounded. How could this be so unreasonable? Are patients' families this rampant these days? Deaths in hospitals are commonplace. Every surgery carries certain risks. Why do families have to sign before the surgery if they're worried about something going wrong?
"We need to find a doctor named Kou. If he doesn't come, I'll destroy this place!" the taller woman shouted at the top of her voice.
"Sister, can we talk it out?"
Before Zhou Lan'er finished her words, the elder sister was standing at the door. The patients who came for treatment outside subconsciously lined up outside. The aunt standing at the door shouted that Doctor Kou Quan was a murderer. He took the red envelope and killed the patient. He was a deceitful quack. She told all the patients who came for treatment to leave quickly and not be harmed by the quack.
