After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

After the waiter left, Lu Yanqi helped Lin Qing unpack the tableware and rinse it with tea, without Lin Qing having to do anything.

In this small space with only two people, Lin Qing felt a little uncomfortable sitting there. She felt that she had to find something to talk about. She looked up at Lu Yanqi and said, "Is this restaurant opened by your friend? I just heard the manager say that he reserved this private room for you and called you Mr. Lu."

Lu Yanqi paused while pouring tea, and looked at her with a smile: "Want to go to my friend's place for dinner? Okay, I'll take you there next time."

Lin Qing's face instantly turned red when he heard this. Is this what she meant?

"That's not what I meant. I just asked. Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Lu."

Hearing Lin Qing's hasty explanation and seeing her shy expression, Lu Yanqi didn't intend to tease her. "This is the private room that Assistant Xu booked. The owner seems to be a relative of his, so it's normal for the manager to know me."

Then he added: "If you want delicious food, the restaurant opened by my friend has good food too. I'll take you to try it next time."

Lin Qing was embarrassed, "I already told you that's not what I meant." When Lin Qing said this, she didn't notice that she had a coquettish tone in her voice.

Lu Yanqi chuckled and looked at her gently, "Okay, that's not what I meant."

Then he moved the poured tea in front of her.

Lin Qing suddenly had an illusion that he was trying to make her happy.

The sweet feeling came over me, and the little bit of inferiority complex I had just had flew out the window.

There is nothing to feel inferior about. She is not as good as the best but better than the worst. She is not the kind of person who is persistent and entangled. What she pursues is a two-way pursuit and she does not force it.

Lin Qing didn't dare to look directly at Lu Yanqi at this moment. She picked up the tea beside her and was about to drink it, but he stretched out his hand to stop her: "Be careful, it's hot, wait a while before drinking it."

When he touched her hand, the instant touch gave Lin Qing an inexplicable electric current running through her body, and her heartbeat suddenly doubled in speed.

"Oh."

Lin Qing pouted and responded softly, then retracted her hand.

He didn't notice at all that Lu Yanqi's eyes were like the first rays of moonlight, affectionate and gentle.

When the waiter brought the dishes, she was a little surprised. They were all her favorite dishes. Could it be that Lu Yanqi’s preferences were the same as hers?

There were also her favorite shrimps, and Lin Qing's face was full of enjoyment just looking at them.

"Mr. Lu, do you like shrimp too?"

Lu Yanqi raised his eyes slightly and smiled: "You like it." That's why I ordered it.

Lin Qing looked at Lu Yanqi curiously: "How do you know I like to eat it?" I don't remember ever mentioning that I like to eat shrimp in front of him.

"I just found out." Lu Yanqi moved all the dishes on the table towards Lin Qing and only put the plate of shrimps in front of him.

Lin Qing was even more confused after hearing this. Did she say she liked to eat shrimp? She raised her eyes and stared at Lu Yanqi: "Huh?"

Lu Yanqi: "Silly boy, didn't you just ask me if I like to eat it too? You said 'also', which means you like to eat it."

He would never tell her that he had memorized what dishes she liked since the first time he saw her eating in the cafeteria.

Hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly came to his senses. Having dinner alone with his leader even made his IQ drop.

Lin Qing said "Oh" again a little embarrassedly.

"You like shrimps, why didn't you order them just now?" Lu Yanqi asked.

Of course she wanted to order some, but it was her first time eating out with him, so she wanted to maintain her image as an elegant lady. She usually peeled shrimps until the table was covered with shells, and her mouth was full of them.

Lin Qing didn't expect him to ask this, and subconsciously paused the chopsticks in his hand, "Usually my hands and mouth are dirty when I eat, and today I want to maintain my image." Lin Qing still said what was in his heart.

Lu Yanqi chuckled, "Because you're with me? I didn't see you being very ladylike last time at your house."

Lin Qing's face flushed, and he smiled shyly, then held his forehead and lowered his head. Could you please give me some face and not say it out loud?

She usually eats with her family or her best friend Cheng Xiaoling. She never thinks about her image. She cooks delicious food and enjoys it to her heart's content. She never even remembers the word "lady".

Lin Qing said without even looking up: "That's in my house, how can it be the same?"

"Silly boy, you don't need to change in front of me, just be happy and be yourself."

As soon as Lu Yanqi finished speaking, he immediately added, "I ordered these shrimps. Just eat them and I'll peel them."

This was the second time that Lin Qing heard Lu Yanqi call her a "fool" tonight, and it wasn't an insult, so she had to ignore it for now. But when she heard him peel shrimp for her, pink bubbles appeared in Lin Qing's heart, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Wearing disposable gloves, Lu Yanqi peeled a large shrimp and handed it to Lin Qing's bowl, "Try it."

Lin Qing hummed, picked up the shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth.

Lu Yanqi did not stop peeling the shrimps, but raised his head to look at Lin Qing. Her face was slightly red, and her red lips were opening and closing because of the shrimps in her mouth. He felt very comfortable in his heart, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Lin Qing noticed from the corner of her eye that Lu Yanqi was staring at her, so she tried to chew slowly as she still had to maintain her image.

"Mr. Lu, you should eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lu Yanqi: "Okay, come on, you are responsible for eating this bowl of shrimp."

After saying that, he placed a bowl of crystal clear shrimp meat in front of Lin Qing, keeping only a few for himself.

Lin Qing has already tasted it in his mouth. The delicious flavor and delicate texture are particularly sweet when chewed.

"Thank you." Lin Qing could only say these two words at this time. A big CEO peeled shrimps for her and took care of her so considerately throughout the whole process. She vaguely felt that Lu Yanqi seemed to have some interest in her, but she didn't dare to ask presumptuously.

Lin Qing enjoyed the meal happily and contentedly.

It was already 9 o'clock when Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi finished their meal. Lu Yanqi offered to take Lin Qing home first, and Lin Qing did not refuse. After all, it was a bit late and this place was far from her home, so it would be inconvenient for her to take a taxi.

The two of them walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the parking lot.

Lin Qing thought the driver was still waiting for them there, but just as he walked to the side of the car, he heard the sound of Lu Yanqi taking out the electronic key to unlock the door.

"Are we waiting for the driver here?" Lin Qing asked Lu Yanqi.

"The driver has something to do at home tonight, so I asked him to go back first." Lu Yanqi said as he opened the passenger door and let Lin Qing get in.

Driver Gu Nan: How come I didn’t know something happened at home?

In fact, the driver Gu Nan was waiting for them nearby. He knew that Lu Yanqi was tired after a day of running around, so he should have picked him up all the way. However, he received a message from Lu Yanqi halfway, asking him to go back first.

Gu Nan was confused at first, but soon figured it out. It was rare for Lu Yanqi to ask a beautiful woman out for dinner, so it was normal for them to be alone together after dinner. So he stopped asking questions and took a taxi back. Lu Yanqi had a spare key anyway.
