Dear Chen Jiu

"Tsk, Xiao Gu, how did you look so radiant today?" Sister Bai took a sip of coffee and handed me the materials for the afternoon meeting.

"Really?" I smiled and stood up to take the materials, "Sister Bai, I won't eat at work at noon from now on."

"Yo, is there something wrong?" Sister Bai asked in a low voice.

"Hey, not yet, maybe soon."

"Then I wish you success in advance."

She gave me a thumbs up graciously.

With the meal I cooked at home in the morning, I drove the new car I picked up at Yan Xu's place, and drove all the way to the downstairs of Chen Jiu's office.

Sitting in the car and thinking about it, I finally decided to send him a message.

--Have you got a meal yet?

Chen Jiu should be busy, and I didn't receive a reply until about 10 minutes later.

--Not yet, why?

--Let's go downstairs and have a meal.

After sending out, I put away my phone and sat in the car waiting, staring at the black door of the office.

Chen Jiu should go downstairs.

Our company only has an hour break at noon, and we have to rush back to work in a while.

Therefore, it is more difficult for social animals to chase people.

If I had known that I would not have changed my major in a foreign country, I would be busy like a spinning top if I was engaged in finance.

It was getting colder, Chen Jiu wore a coat and pushed open the office door, I immediately opened the car window and waved to him.

"I am here."

He stopped and glanced at me. He was still feeling cold when he opened the car door and sat in.

I touched his hand, it was really cold.

"Your big boss is really stingy, can you turn on the heating or air conditioning when you are working?"

He didn't answer my question, "Have you bought a car?"

"Well, is it cool?" I held his cold hand, put it to my mouth and breathed out.

Fortunately, the heating system of the new car is very good, and the temperature inside the car is suitable at the moment.

He let me hold my hand, but his tone remained calm, "There is still an internship on the car."

"Hey," I smiled awkwardly, "but my driving skills are top-notch, so let's eat."

After I finished speaking, I reluctantly let go of his hand and opened the heat preservation box on the side.

As the saying goes, stomach problems depend on treatment and seven percent on nourishment.

But you expect a money-making machine like Chen Jiu to think about eating on time, but it's too embarrassing for him.

I put the small table board I bought in the middle, and arranged the meals and fruits.

Take out two sets of tableware and eat with Chen Jiu.

The dishes are all made according to the recipes for nourishing the stomach. It feels like two young people who have not yet reached their [-]s have lived a healthy life in advance.

The car was very quiet for a while, Chen Jiu ate slower than before, and ate less.

But I don't think it's because the food is not to my liking, he doesn't pick anything at all, and my cooking skills are much better now than five years ago.

At this time, I always feel that five years is like a century. Why is the simple habit of eating changed?

"What time do you usually have lunch?" I said to break the silence in the car.

"When hungry."

He answered lightly.

"Do you ever feel hungry?" I asked in surprise, "You still have this concept in your mind."

Then Chen Jiu ignored me and just concentrated on eating with his head down.

After returning to China, we spent very little time together in such a quiet way. I cherished all the days spent with Chen Jiu, so I obediently sat beside him and had a good meal.

Suddenly there was a whistle in the distance, and I looked up. It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, looking frivolously into the car.

I turned my head to look at Chen Jiu again, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, he just ignored him and continued to eat with his head down.

"Who is this person?" Seeing Chen Jiu's reaction, I obviously knew him, so I approached him and asked in a low voice.

"South Bridge."

It's a very familiar name, I remembered it, I heard this name in the hospital before, it really wasn't a hallucination at that time.

"Oh, I remembered! Is he a partner in your firm?" I asked tentatively.

Although Chen Jiu has become a little more human in recent years, I can only think of such a possibility to be able to joke with him unscrupulously.

Chen Jiu nodded.

I suddenly became more interested in the man in front of me. I can pull Chen Jiu to open a firm together. He is a character.

Good guy, you look like a dog, why is N in front of C?

Because of his age?

"This man must be forty?" I said deliberately sour.

The man in the suit was still wearing a pair of sunglasses in winter, and continued to walk this way without winking, and I locked the car door with a 'snap'.

"Hey," Nanqiao approached the car and knocked on Chen Jiu's window.

I saw that Chen Jiu looked like he didn't want to talk to him, and hesitated whether to roll down the window.

After thinking about it, the other party is Chen Jiu's partner after all, I'd better make a good impression on him, so I lowered the window glass.

In all fairness, this man looks like a wealthy young man from his clothes and demeanor. His real age is around 35. For some reason, he suddenly reminded me of a monkey in high school...

The main reason is that they all have a bit of a sloppy temperament.

"Say something."

Chen Jiu didn't look at him either.

"What are you doing? Mr. Chen, have you forgotten that you still have a fiancée?"

I slowly raised the car window, thank you, some bullshit is unnecessary, it's off-putting.

When the car window was halfway up, Chen Jiu suddenly raised his hand to press the glass.

I hurriedly let go, the glass stopped halfway, Chen Jiu turned to Nanqiao and said, "Of course not, including what you said."

I couldn't see Chen Jiu's expression, but Nanqiao's expression returned to normal, "Hey, am I kidding you?"

"However," Nanqiao turned his gaze to me again, smiled and said, "Interesting, don't forget to go on a business trip next week."

After finishing speaking, Nanqiao took off his glasses and walked towards the office. The second half of the sentence was obviously for Chen Jiu.

This is public revenge...

I imagined the tension between Chen Jiu and his partner, and I was about to speak, but I held back the words when they reached my mouth.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Jiu lowered his eyes and continued to eat.

I shook my head, only to remember that he wasn't looking at me now, "No, I was wondering if you were happy at work."

"Nanqiao is serious about his work."

These words dispelled my speculation about the relationship between the two.

It's true, they both opened a joint office, and the difference in the relationship is probably a way of getting along between different people.

***

After delivering this lunch, there is really no dinner.

Our company usually works overtime until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and everyone just settles down in the office.

This is very embarrassing.

"I want to resign."

I put away the lunch box and looked at Chen Jiu with nostalgia.

"It is not recommended."

He took a tissue from the car and wiped his hands.

"You haven't even asked me why."

Chen Jiu folded the tissue and threw it into the trash can on the car, "Oh?"

"Want to have dinner with you."

I said with a grin.

Chen Jiu probably guessed what I was going to say a long time ago, but his expression was as calm as ever.

"Well, I'm not resigning.

Then can you eat on time at night, I will order dinner for you at that time. "

"Need not."

"Then I resign."

I am firm.

"I can order it myself."

He seemed a little helpless.

I understand, I took out my mobile phone, "Mr. Chen, how about this, you call me the money for this month's dinner, and I can fix it for you?"

He ordered himself which meant that it was impossible to eat on time.

Hearing this, Chen Jiu took out his mobile phone, and I soon heard the notification tone on the mobile phone.

Looking down, he really transferred a sum of money to me, and the amount was quite large.

I looked up at him dumbfounded, and he was really serious with me?

He doesn't think I'm chasing him for money, does he? ? ?

"I..." For a while, I couldn't think of any words to describe my mood at the moment.

"go back to work."

He puts away the phone.

"... "

It wasn't until he got out of the car and his back disappeared at the gate of the office that I was relieved.

I really have you, Chen Jiu.

How did you manage to turn reasonable pursuits into money transactions?

When I was driving back to the company, I suddenly had an idea. At worst, I will order food for Chen Jiu at double the price.

Whoever has no money, I insist on you owe me.
