When Ji Nian returned to the staff lounge, he leaned back against the cabinet and let out a sigh of relief.
When Lu Tingyu said that sentence just now, although Lu Tingyu's expression did not fluctuate, Ji Nian caught a trace of injury in his eyes.
People like Lu Tingyu should have never been rejected, right?
Ji Nian felt a little guilty, and at the same time, there was an indescribable sourness in his chest.
Even if he could fool Lu Tingyu, he couldn't fool himself.
In fact, he kind of likes Lu Tingyu.
The foreman's voice came from the walkie-talkie at Ji Nian's waist, asking where Ji Nian had gone. He quickly recovered his mood and continued to work.
In the next few days, Ji Nian intentionally or unintentionally avoided landing on Lu Tingyu.
Even Xiao Chen noticed that something was wrong. Before, Lu Tingyu only asked Ji Nian to serve him, but during this period of time, Xiao Chen was complicated to deliver food, and Lu Tingyu didn't respond, and occasionally gave him a tip.
As a result, there were more rumors in the clubhouse. Some people said that Ji Nian was abandoned by Lu Tingyu, some people said that Lu Tingyu had a new love, in short, there were different opinions.
Ji Nian, who was the center of the topic, didn't respond at all. He still had to go to and from get off work every day, as if he had returned to his usual quietness and few words.
Just when Ji Nian thought that the two of them would never meet again, he suddenly received a call from Assistant Yao at noon that day.
"Mr. Ji." Assistant Yao's voice on the phone was still very respectful, as if he didn't look down on Ji Nian at all because of Lu Tingyu's neglect.
Ji Nian felt a little uncomfortable, "Assistant Yao, what's the matter?"
Assistant Yao said: "That's it. Mr. Lu has a social event tonight, and he asked me to tell you that he needs you to make a bowl of hangover soup at home tonight."
Ji Nian guessed that this day would come. He didn't work but got so much salary, and he felt sorry in his heart, so he said without hesitation: "I know, I will go there sooner."
Assistant Yao smiled, "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Ji."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Nian looked at the number on the screen in a daze. Although the two still had an employment relationship, he felt a little nervous when he thought of meeting Lu Tingyu at night.
After finally getting off work, Ji Nian took a taxi to the villa. The room was pitch black, and it didn't look like anyone was at home.
Ji Nian entered the password to lock in, but Lu Tingyu was not there. He was inexplicably relieved, and went to the kitchen to put on an apron and start cooking hangover soup.
The soup in the pot was bubbling, and the shiny kitchen utensils reflected Ji Nian's fair cheeks. While the soup was cooking, he looked up at this spacious and luxurious villa. Ji Nian couldn't afford any furniture of.
This place reminds him and Lu Tingyu of the disparity in status all the time.
Ji Nian shook his head and stopped thinking about those useless things. He filled up the hangover soup, put it on the dining table, and then took off his apron to leave.
When I came to the door to change my shoes, the combination lock suddenly sounded in front of me.
Before Ji Nian could react, the door of the villa opened from the outside, and Ji Nian and Lu Tingyu who walked in met their eyes.
Ji Nian's expression was unnatural for a moment, he lowered his eyelids, and said in a business-like tone: "Mr. Lu, I've already made the hangover soup for you."
Under the dim light, Lu Tingyu's expression was unclear, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ji Nian unconsciously pursed his lower lip, and said hesitantly, "By the way, Mr. Lu, I want to tell you something."
Lu Tingyu turned his head slightly and looked at Ji Nian, "Say it."
Ji Nian stared at the shiny leather shoes under Lu Tingyu's feet, and said slowly: "That's right, I haven't come here a few times in a month, and I feel very sorry for taking so much salary from you, so I think, in the future, let the nanny pay you Let's make hangover soup."
Before Lu Tingyu could speak, Ji Nian said again: "I've already written the method in the notebook, you just ask the nanny to follow what's written on it."
Lu Tingyu was silent for a while, "You want to separate yourself from me?"
I don't know why, Ji Nian caught a bit of sourness from this sentence, he lowered his head even lower, "I just don't think you need to waste so much money hiring me."
Lu Tingyu looked at him, his gaze was unprecedentedly deep, and he didn't speak again.
The suffocating atmosphere made Ji Nian a little breathless, he didn't want to stay any longer, and said politely: "Mr. Lu, then I'll go first."
Ji Nian walked away from him, and suddenly Lu Tingyu grabbed his wrist, and his heart skipped a beat.
Before he could speak, Lu Tingyu handed over a gift bag, "This is the storybook that An An has always wanted. I asked someone to bring it back from abroad. You can pass it to her."
Ji Nian's eyes fell on the gift in Lu Tingyu's hand, the dry feeling returned to his throat again, he shook his head slightly, and pushed the gift bag back.
Lu Tingyu's hand holding the gift bag visibly froze.
Ji Qingnian said: "Mr. Lu, I can no longer take your things. Thank you for your kindness. You don't have to spend any more money in the future."
Ji Nian nodded at him, and quickly left the villa.
Lu Tingyu turned around and looked at the back of Ji Nian who was almost running away. He looked down at the gift bag in his hand and walked into the restaurant with heavy steps.
Lu Tingyu came to the dining table and looked at the steaming porcelain bowl in front of him. After a while, he picked up the hangover soup and poured it all into the pool.
He thought gloomily, Ji Nian wanted to get rid of him, how could it be so easy.
He will definitely make Ji Nian return to him willingly.
After that day, Lu Tingyu didn't show up again. While Ji Nian was relieved, his heart felt inexplicably sore.
An An couldn't wait for Lu Tingyu, so she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why hasn't Uncle Lu come to the hospital recently?"
Ji Nian explained: "Uncle Lu is very busy and has a big company to manage, so he can't come to accompany An An often."
This matter was told by Ji Nian's colleagues in the clubhouse. It is said that the tallest and largest office building in their locality is Lu Tingyu's company.
Because of this, Ji Nian couldn't accept Lu Tingyu, not only because of the huge disparity in their status, but also he couldn't figure out why such an excellent Lu Tingyu fell in love with him.
An An's face was full of disappointment, "Then can I call Uncle Lu?"
Ji Nian looked into An An's eyes, and said earnestly, "An An, Uncle Lu has his own life, we can't bother him all the time, do you understand?"
An An drooped her head in frustration, sniffed and said, "Dad, I see."
Ji Nian rubbed An An's head, seeing An An's injured expression, he couldn't bear it, but he had to do it.
After appeasing An An's mood, Ji Nian went to ask Sister Miao about the recent treatment of An An, and Sister Miao suddenly said, "Mr. Ji, why haven't you seen Mr. Lu these days?"
Ji Nian didn't explain too much, just shook his head.
Sister Miao observed Ji Nian's expression, and said in a probing tone, "Mr. Ji, did you quarrel with Mr. Lu?"
Before Ji Nian could speak, Sister Miao said again: "Otherwise, Mr. Lu used to come to us every day, so why haven't we seen anyone recently?"
Ji Nian took a deep breath, "Sister Miao, An An is going to receive new drug treatment recently, I hope you can pay more attention to An An."
It was the first time that Ji Nian spoke to Sister Miao in such a serious tone. Sister Miao suppressed her smile and dared not joke anymore.
After Ji Nian left, Sister Miao glanced at the door again, and muttered, "You can't do it if you don't come."
Ji Nian didn't take Sister Miao's abnormal behavior to heart, went to work in the clubhouse as usual, and heard other colleagues say that Lu Tingyu came again tonight.
After a while, Xiao Chen came over as if smelling something, "Ji Nian, let me go to room 302 tonight?"
Ji Nian paused in serving the dishes and nodded.
Xiao Chen smiled unsurprisingly. In fact, during this period of time, he has been delivering meals to Box 302 regularly, but he still has to do it in order to save face. After all, it was Ji Nian who gave him such a good opportunity in the first place.
Coupled with the fact that there have been a lot of messages in the clubhouse recently, Xiao Chen couldn't help asking, "Ji Nian, what's going on with Mr. Lu, did you really quarrel?"
Ji Nian was not a talkative person in the first place, so he just put it off casually.
After waiting for Xiao Ji to deliver the food, Ji Nian went to the fourth floor with the tray.
Just as he passed a dark corner, a figure appeared unexpectedly and ran towards him. Ji Nian had no time to react, and the two of them bumped into each other suddenly, and the tray in their hands fell to the ground with a harsh sound.
The two fell heavily on the ground together, Ji Nian was in pain all over, he opened his eyes, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the person in front of him.
The man was wearing a peaked cap and a black mask, and was tightly wrapped all over his body. He looked down at Ji Nian, panic flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and ran away.
Ji Nian rubbed his sore shoulder, bent down to pick up the tray, and looked back in the direction the man left.
Although the man was a little strange, Ji Nian didn't take it seriously and went back to the kitchen with the tray in his arms.
As soon as Ji Qian came back to the kitchen, Manager Zhu suddenly walked in, with a rare look of anxiety on his face, "Everyone, put down your work first!"
Everyone in the kitchen stopped their work and looked at Manager Zhu curiously.
Manager Zhu said seriously: "Just now I received a report from the police that a murderer has sneaked into our clubhouse."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, everyone asked what was going on, and there was a lot of noise in the kitchen.
Manager Zhu scolded, "What's the noise, hurry up and disperse the guests now, don't make any noise."
The guests here are either rich or expensive, and if something goes wrong, the club cannot afford to take care of them.
When walking halfway, Ji Nian suddenly thought of the strange man he bumped into on the fourth floor just now, and something strange flashed in his heart.
But he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly followed the troops to the box to communicate with the guests.
However, tonight is Qixi Festival, and there are quite a few guests in the clubhouse. Manager Zhu can only arrange anything for everyone, and each is responsible for the guests in his own area.
Ji Nian was in charge of the right side of the second floor. He came to the box, found a reasonable reason to explain the situation to the guest, and reluctantly sent the guest away.
Afterwards, the few private rooms went smoothly. Although some of them were a little unhappy when their date was interrupted, because the clubhouse waived the fee for tonight and promised half discount for the next consumption, they finally stabilized the guests.
In a blink of an eye, there was only the last box left, and Ji Nian hurried over. When he reached the door of the last box, he didn't notice that the door of the stairwell behind him slowly opened a gap.
Just as Ji Nian was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching behind him. He turned his head, and a black shadow suddenly flashed over.
Before Ji Nian realized what happened, there was a stabbing pain in his neck, and a gleaming knife was pressed against his neck.
When Lu Tingyu said that sentence just now, although Lu Tingyu's expression did not fluctuate, Ji Nian caught a trace of injury in his eyes.
People like Lu Tingyu should have never been rejected, right?
Ji Nian felt a little guilty, and at the same time, there was an indescribable sourness in his chest.
