Do you like to eat it?

[1. Mind]

Chen Li walked out of the rest room with mixed feelings.

He found a place where no one was around, hesitated for a while, and chose to take out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Xiuyuan's number.

The other party answered in seconds.

"What's the matter?" There was a hint of anxiety in the tone that sounded calm and breezy.

"..." Chen Li was dumbfounded, and immediately became more sure of his thoughts. He said after deliberation, "Mr. Lu, Xiao Chu brought food from their school's cafeteria, and we will eat in our rest room at noon."

Hearing this, the other party was silent for nearly five seconds.

But soon, Lu Xiuyuan asked again: "What did he eat?"

Chen Li answered honestly: "I don't know."

Lu Xiuyuan was silent again.

Chen Li patted his head in frustration, and said nervously, "Otherwise, I'll go back and ask."

"no need."

Chen Li quickly stopped in his tracks.

"That's it, don't bother him." Lu Xiuyuan paused for a moment before saying, "I'll trouble you to take care of that child."

Chen Li was overwhelmed, and quickly shook his head: "Oh, Mr. Lu, you are so polite. If there is anything you need to do in the future, just tell us. We will definitely take care of it for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiuyuan stood there for a while, and then moved his numb arm a little.

And behind him, there stood five or six middle-aged men in neat suits tremblingly. Each of them exuded a strong aura of social elites. At first glance, they looked like business executives who had been sitting in high-end office buildings in the financial district all year round.

However, these people actually appeared in the food court on the first floor of the noisy shopping mall? !

Many passers-by turned their heads one after another, inevitably whispering.

"Fuck! Is this a TV show?"

"Did you see the little brother at the front? He looks so handsome, and he killed those idols and traffic stars in seconds."

"I seem to have seen a picture of that little brother on the Internet..."

Those five or six middle-aged men blushed with embarrassment, wishing they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

They have been employed in the mall for many years, and they have talked about countless large and small cooperation, but there is no such a place where the negotiation scene of cooperation is so hard to describe!

But Fourth Master Lu was the one who led them here, no matter how dissatisfied they were in their hearts, they didn't dare to make a sound on the surface.

When Lu Xiuyuan turned around and walked over, these complaining people buried their heads in their collars, silent as chickens.

Lu Xiuyuan was not in a good mood, although he still had a breezy smile on his face, but after watching it for a long time, it would always give people a creepy feeling.

His eyes swept over several people.

Afterwards, he said lightly, "Let's go."

Several middle-aged men were collectively confused: "Where are you going?"

"Go where you want to go."

Lu Xiuyuan raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and walked towards the straight ladder with his long legs, and said by the way, "I have already had someone settle in Cuixiang, and the bosses are dignified figures after all, How could I wrong you to eat in such a small market place?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at several people with a half-smile.

The faces of those middle-aged men were instantly covered with cold sweat. They were all taken aback by Lu Xiuyuan's light eyes. They were startled and frightened. They hurriedly looked at each other a few times, and they all saw fear in other people's eyes.

They tried so hard to hide their small thoughts, but Lu Xiuyuan still spotted them...

Others say that Fourth Master Lu is humble and approachable, and he is the best talker in the entire Lu family, and only those who have stumbled under the hands of Fourth Master Lu know——

Fourth Master Lu is a smiling tiger.

The usual smile on his face is nothing more than a hypocritical mask. As for the real face under the mask, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

I just don't know what this smiling tiger is doing here during his working hours. Although Lu Xiu is far from the airs of a wealthy and noble family like other Lu family members, he doesn't look like he would come to eat a set meal that costs 30 yuan. people.

Several middle-aged men were puzzled.

Not every cake shop employee will choose to eat downstairs. Many of them have already married people who will prepare bento at home in advance, just bring it over and heat it in the microwave.

When Chu Yang came to the cafeteria with the plastic box, there were already three girls waiting for the hot meal in front of the microwave oven.

The girls were very curious about Chu Yang's new face, so they crowded around chattering.

"You look really small, like a high school student."

"The skin is so good, I'm envious and crying..."

"how old are you?"

Chu Yang was surrounded by girls, his whole face was as red as a monkey's butt, he was holding the plastic box tightly with both hands, he was a little helpless, even a little out of breath.

It wasn't until one of the girls noticed his strangeness and asked everyone to disperse that Chu Yang finally recovered, like a fish in the water, but his face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The girls fell silent for a moment, apparently startled by Chu Yang's appearance.

After a while, the sharp-eyed girl just asked carefully, "Are you okay?"

Chu Yang shook his head lightly, recalling his reaction last second, and felt very ashamed again, his cheeks were burning and his heart was beating violently, he tried his best to choke out a sentence like a mosquito: "I am 19 years old. "

Girls: "..."

They were silent for a long time.

Then I couldn't laugh or cry.

This little brother is too cute!

woo woo woo...

The old mother's heart almost melted.

But no matter how excited they were in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it like just now, so they had to hold back abruptly, which made every girl blush.

Chu Yang naturally sensed the embarrassing atmosphere in the small cafeteria. He lowered his head, said nothing, and quickly put the plastic box in the microwave to heat it up for a minute before leaving.

Looking at the direction where Chu Yang disappeared, the girls all sighed.

"Good-looking is good-looking, but it's too shy."

"yes……"

"However, there are not many younger brothers who are as innocent as him these days. Let's take it easy in the future and don't scare them."

"But I think it's a little strange. His reaction is really too sensitive. It seems that it has gone beyond the range of shyness..." The girl who spoke was Zhuo Wen, who is also a part-time student. She frowned and stroked her hair depressingly. , "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Wen packed up the dishes, got up and walked out of the small cafeteria.

The lunch break was very short, Zhuo Wen had nothing to do, so she went to the store to help.

There were very few customers in the store at the moment, just three or four scattered people. At a glance, the tall man in a white shirt and black trousers standing in front of the freezer was particularly eye-catching.

After all, Zhuo Wen was just a girl in her junior year, so she couldn't hold back for a while, and looked over there a few more times, but she didn't expect the man to turn around suddenly, and her indifferent gaze met her.

The next second, the man raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at her.

Zhuo Wen froze suddenly, then blushed almost to smoke, her beating heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She stood there like a wooden stake, watching the man walk towards her, and then stood still in front of her.

Men are very good looking.

At least in Zhuo Wen's impression, except for the little fresh meat on TV who had put on make-up and skinned, he had never seen such a man with exquisite facial features.

His eyes were dark, and he looked at Zhuo Wen's face lightly.

"Excuse me, do you like sweets?" His voice was low, with a metallic texture.

"Ah?" Zhuo Wen's cheeks seemed to be burning, she nodded in confusion, "I like it."

The man turned his head and looked at the freezer not far away: "Can you help me choose?"

"..."

Zhuo Wen woke up instantly.

what……

It turned out that I was looking for her as a reference, and she thought...

Zhuo Wen was ashamed and embarrassed, and the redness on her face faded away in an instant. She scolded herself for thinking too much, and followed the man to the freezer, and chose two small cakes that were selling recently.

The man bought four small cakes in one go, in duplicate, and after paying the bill, he handed her four boxes containing the small cakes.

Zhuo Wen was at a loss.

The man smiled embarrassedly: "I want to trouble you to bring these two cakes to my friend, and the other two cakes are a thank you gift for you."

Zhuo Wen: "Your friend?"

"Chu Yang." The man said, "He works part-time in your store."

Zhuo Wen suddenly realized.

Chu Yang didn't have a big appetite, he was almost full after eating a steamed bun, and it was easy to choke if he ate too many steamed buns, and his throat was dry, he drank a glass of water to recover.

For this reason, he was a little worried.

If you want to bring lunch from the school cafeteria all the time, you can only buy steamed buns or buns for breakfast. There is a noodle window in the cafeteria, but the noodles will get lumpy after a long time, let alone at noon.

However, eating in the mall is too expensive, and he is worried that his savings will not last until the day he receives his salary.

If only he had a home where he could cook for himself like other shop assistants.

Chu Yang thought enviously.

He likes cooking very much. Although the taste of the cooking is very ordinary, he enjoys the process of cooking very much.

His mother used to cook often, and she was good at cooking, and could cook a large table of sumptuous dishes. Unfortunately, since his accident, his mother doesn't like to stay at home anymore, and his father doesn't come home at night, and the house is always cold deserted.

Chu Yang propped his chin with his hands and sighed softly.

I don't know when and what month he will be able to have a new home.

He really wanted to graduate early, move out of the dormitory, and rent a house near his workplace so that he could have his own home. As for the girlfriend issue, he would not consider it for the time being.

I guess I won't think about it in the future...

Chu Yang was engrossed in his thoughts, when suddenly someone patted his right shoulder lightly.

He was so startled that he nearly bounced off his chair.

Fortunately, the hand on his shoulder held him down in time.

"It's me! Zhuo Wen!" Zhuo Wen didn't mean to scare Chu Yang, she called Chu Yang several times just now, but she didn't get a response, "Your friend bought you a cake, and I put it here."

Chu Yang's face turned pale, he opened his round eyes and fixedly looked at Zhuo Wen, his mouth was still panting slightly.

Zhuo Wen didn't dare to vent her anger: "Are you okay?"

After a long time, Chu Yang slowly shook his head, turned his head and looked in the direction Zhuo Wen pointed, and saw two delicate and beautiful small boxes quietly placed in front of him.

[2. irritability]

Chu Yang was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Sister Zhuo Wen, you may have made a mistake."

Zhuo Wen was confused and said, "What's wrong?"

"These cakes should not be bought for me." Chu Yang put his hands on the edge of the table, turned his head, his long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his cold white skin, "I have no friends."

Pang Yan was no longer his friend.

Regarding Cen Yanbo, Chu Yang felt somewhat inferior in front of him, he wanted to regard Cen Yanbo as a friend in his private heart, but he didn't know if Cen Yanbo was pitying his loneliness.

Zhuo Wen didn't expect to get such an answer, and scratched her head depressedly: "But that little brother clearly told Chu Yang, there is no second person surnamed Chu in our store."

Chu Yang looked up: "Little brother?"

"That's right." Zhuo Wen said with a blushing face, "A super handsome little brother, wearing a white shirt, looks a bit like a businessman."

After a while of surprise, Chu Yang vaguely had an answer in his heart, and he asked, "Did he say what his name is?"

Zhuo Wen shook her head: "Not really."

Chu Yang originally wanted to find Lu Xiuyuan's photo from the Internet and show it to Zhuo Wen for confirmation, but after careful consideration, he still didn't do so.

When Zhuo Wen left the rest room, Chu Yang took out his mobile phone and clicked into the WeChat chat box between him and Chu Yang.

He hesitated for a full minute.

until the phone goes black.

Chu Yang pursed his lips and put the phone back in his pocket.

All day long, Lu Xiuyuan was absent-minded at work.

Whether it's lunch with partners at noon or a meeting in the afternoon, you have to take out your phone from time to time to take a look.

Xiao Chen and the other assistants noticed all of Lu Xiuyuan's small movements, and they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Brother Chen." When he walked out of the conference room, an assistant quietly called out to Xiao Chen, "Is President Lu alright?"

Holding the document in his hand, Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "What's all right?"

The assistant rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "During the meeting just now, President Lu has been distracted. I was a little worried, so I wanted to ask you..."

Xiao Chen fell silent, looking at the assistant in front of him with a complicated expression.

This assistant is a little girl who just graduated less than three months ago. Her surname is Liu. She was recommended by her tutor. She is flexible, alert, and very malleable. The most important thing is that she is beautiful and charming, with a height of 1.7 meters five. He has a lot of alcohol, and he can take it out at any time during the entertainment period.

However, Xiao Liu said that she was working with Lu Xiuyuan, but in fact she met Lu Xiuyuan only a handful of times in a week. Recently, Lu Xiuyuan had few social activities and often went outside. She couldn't even touch Lu Xiuyuan's shadow.

It was so hard to meet at the meeting just now, Xiao Liu's eyes were almost glued to Lu Xiuyuan's body.

Although Xiao Chen didn't say anything on the surface, he was clear in his heart.

In the past, many girl assistants fell on Lu Xiuyuan, but they were all dismissed because of bad intentions-this is the main reason why their assistant team is almost all men.

Xiao Chen pressed his fist to his lips and coughed twice. He quickly put away those messy thoughts in his mind, and replied with a polite smile: "Boss Lu is fine, please worry about it."

"Really?" Xiao Liu bit her lip, the worry on her face still remained.

Xiao Chen nodded: "It's just that I haven't had a good rest recently."

"So it's like this..." Xiao Liu suddenly rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something, she smiled at Xiao Chen, "It's fine, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Isn't it?

Xiao Chen thought to himself, then nodded and raised his eyebrows, turned and left.

He came outside Lu Xiuyuan's office, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, and after getting the answer, he pushed the door open and entered.

Lu Xiuyuan was sitting behind the huge desk, his shirt cuffs rolled up, his arms resting on the edge of the desk, and he was staring at the screen of his mobile phone with his brow furrowed.

Maybe he hasn't noticed it yet, but his expression at this moment is really——

Xiao Chen pondered for a while before coming up with an idiom.

Suffering and hatred are deep!

Yes, it is bitterness and hatred.

Even from a distance, Xiao Chen could feel the resentment emanating from Lu Xiuyuan. Those who didn't know thought that their aloof fourth master Lu had lost his love.

Xiao Chen tried his best to suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, walked over and put the arranged documents on the table.

"President Lu." Xiao Chen said in a regular manner, "This is the summary report of the meeting just now."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't seem to be aware of his gaffe. After hearing Xiao Chen's voice, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and his eyes were glued to the phone screen.

"Okay." Lu Xiuyuan said absently.

Xiao Chen took a step back.

Turn around and prepare to leave.

At this time, Lu Xiuyuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "That's right."

Xiao Chen turned around suspiciously.

Lu Xiuyuan raised his chin slightly, and finally he was willing to look at Xiao Chen, but he took off his usual disguise, his expressionless face was full of indifference, and his slightly frowned brows were full of impatience.

"Have you investigated those matters?"

Xiao Chen immediately realized what Lu Xiuyuan was talking about, and immediately nodded his head like a catfish: "I have already printed out the materials and bound them into a book, and I will put them in the old place in your study."

Lu Xiuyuan's expression finally softened.

After a while, he said, "Go."

Xiao Chen slipped away immediately with oil on his feet.

After the office door was closed, Lu Xiuyuan leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed between his brows with some headaches.

Chu Yang Chu Yang Chu Yang...

In the past few days, his thoughts have been completely occupied by Chu Yang, and he can't even spare any energy to think about other things.

It's a pity that the kid didn't take him seriously at all. After accepting the cake he gave, he didn't even say a word.

Of course, it is also possible that Chu Yang didn't accept his cake at all, or he didn't guess that it was him who sent the cake.

Realizing this, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly regretted it.

If I knew it earlier, I should have called Chu Yang and brought him the cake with my own hands.

Lu Xiuyuan clicked into WeChat melancholy, and the chat history between him and Chu Yang still remained on the word "good night", which was sent to Chu Yang by him, and the last sentence was that Chu Yang said he was going to sleep.

Look at it this way...

It's really sad.

Lu Xiuyuan sighed, wiped his face, and suddenly felt that he was not like his usual self these days, since when did he like to use his hot face to stick other people's cold asses?

Besides, he wasn't so humble before.

Lu Xiuyuan sorted out his emotions as quickly as possible, deleted the WeChat chat between him and Chu Yang, and then devoted himself wholeheartedly to the next work.

until eight o'clock at night.

The people in the company had almost left, and Lu Xiuyuan was still working overtime in the office.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Lu Xiuyuan thought that Xiao Chen was looking for him on something, so he casually called out to come in.

Soon the door was pushed open, "Xiao Chen" walked in cautiously, stood still in front of the desk, but did not speak.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and looked at the computer screen, without raising his head, he said, "Say what you have to say."

"Boss Lu..."

What responded to him was not Xiao Chen's steady voice, but a slightly delicate female voice.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze from the computer screen to the face of the person.

If he remembered correctly, the woman in front of him should be a new assistant sent by the personnel department not long ago, and she had socialized with him two or three times.

However, the assistants below the second level are all under the unified management of Xiao Chen, and unless there are special circumstances, they are generally not allowed to leapfrog to him without permission.

Lu Xiuyuan's gaze swept across the woman's reddish cheeks calmly, and when he found her hands were hidden behind his back, he paused for a moment, and then frowned even more.

Then he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Liu took a breath quietly, with a sweet smile on his face, pretending to be generous and said: "Mr. Lu, during the meeting in the afternoon, I saw that your mental state was not very good. Later, I heard from Brother Chen that you I'm very busy and didn't have a good rest. Coincidentally, my mother brought me a bucket of chicken soup just now. My mother's cooking skills are very good. I shared some with everyone, and you can drink a bowl too."

Xiao Liu's words were impeccable, and her expression was full of awe-inspiring awe, but the gaze she was looking at Lu Xiuyuan couldn't cover up her inner tension and anticipation.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Xiuyuan to answer, she took out the pink thermos bucket hidden behind her and put it on the desk.

At the same time, I also brought a pink soup bowl and a small spoon. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it looks like a gadget that only little girls like.

"Mr. Lu, do you want to drink now?" Xiao Liu was so nervous that she didn't dare to look into Lu Xiuyuan's eyes. With a pounding heart, she opened the thermos and whispered softly, "I'll give it to you right now." You have a bowl."

However, Xiao Liu, who lowered his head, did not notice that Lu Xiuyuan's face gradually turned cold.

Lu Xiuyuan pushed away the keyboard in front of him, leaned back, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Xiao Liu with flushed cheeks indifferently, and asked in a calm tone, "When did I say I want to drink your chicken soup?"

"..."

Xiao Liu's movements froze suddenly, and his flushed face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only then did she realize that she had been too proactive just now, and she hadn't had time to ask Lu Xiuyuan for his opinion.

Perhaps Lu Xiuyuan was too careful, gentle, and approachable, and rarely criticized his subordinates with a black face, so that she ignored the fact that this person was actually their boss.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his consciousness, he quickly put down the spoon and bowl in his hand, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Xiuyuan with some worry.

There was no expression on Lu Xiuyuan's face, the corners of his mouth were pursed lightly, like a lake that could not make any waves, even a layer of frost had condensed in those dark eyes.

He had cold eyebrows and cold eyes, and the breath he exuded was also extremely cold.

Xiao Liu was so frightened that his body froze, his face was completely drained of blood, and he staggered back two steps.

It has to be said that Lu Xiuyuan at this moment looked very scary, completely different from him in the past, even like two people.

She has never seen Lu Xiuyuan like this...

"I..." Xiao Liu clenched her palms tightly, her eyes slowly turned red, she explained in a mumbled voice, "I have no other intentions, Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong, I also served chicken soup for other colleagues."
