Chapter 13

Chapter Thirteen

For a while, the restaurant that was full of people fell silent.

Everyone watched as the man calmly passed through the crowd who avoided spontaneously, walked to the other end of the restaurant, and picked up a... dinner plate.

In the midst of stunned, the new president, who was too lazy to attend the company's weekly meeting, actually held the dinner plate and placed himself at the end of the waiting line.

No one expected that the president would actually come to cook the meal himself. He came alone, not even the assistant with golden glasses, who was always expressionless.

At this point most of the staff were seated and the queue was running out. The man in front of the new president was obviously stunned for a while, and immediately turned to his side, wanting the president to invite him first.

The man shook his head, indicating that the other party did not need to, and continued to line up by himself.

The noise in the dining room gradually recovered from the silence, but it was obviously much suppressed than before. Everyone unconsciously lowered their voices when talking, like a class discussion with a teacher standing on the podium.

Although no one would be so stupid as to stare directly at the new president, but with such a big luminous body standing there, it was impossible for everyone to ignore his actions. After paying such attention, many people's hearts were slightly shaken.

The man has already lined up for the cooking window. He himself seems to be much closer than rumored, and he also asked a few dishes with great interest. The young Mr. President himself is good-looking, and his body proportions are extremely good. Just looking at his appearance and temperament is enough to harvest a wave of goodwill.

"Why do I feel that President Pei is a lot more handsome today than the last time he showed up," Li Anbei straightened his back and looked at Chen Zixuan in front of him with a stern face. In fact, he took this to look at Pei Yusheng not far away. He lowered his voice, "I lost, Brother Xuan, it's really a leader inspection, or a leader above the vice president."

Chen Zixuan's beautiful face was calm, but her back was stiffer than the serious Li Anbei. She squeezed out her voice almost word by word: "Li Anbei, you are the number one crow in the universe."

She is Vice President Zhang's special assistant, and the dispute between Zhang Fu and Pei Yusheng is directly on the table. Chen Zixuan's perception of Pei Yusheng is naturally more complicated than that of other employees.

Li Anbei reassured her: "It's okay, I estimate that 80% of President Pei wants to change to the people-friendly route, and we are just a coincidence."

Chen Zixuan smirked: "Stop, please. I seem to have heard your flag."

Li Anbei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to be too obvious. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Qi Ji next to him, but saw that the boy was not concentrating on eating, but looked at the new president not far away.

Li Anbei knew his younger brother's focus on food, and couldn't help but wonder, "Qi Qi, what are you looking at?"

The spoon unconsciously touched the side of the bowl, making a crisp sound.

The boy looked back and said after a beat, "I just saw the president swiping the card."

"What happened to the card?" Li Anbei asked.

Yuntu employees all have work cards, and meals are also paid directly by brushing the work cards.

The boy said slowly: "When he swiped his card, the balance displayed on the machine was 99999999."

The credit card machine screen can only display a total of eight digits.

Chen Zixuan: "..."

Li Anbei: "...what?"

If they hadn't known that their younger brother had excellent naked eye 5.0, their first reaction would have been that Qi Ji was wrong.

Li Anbei swallowed hard and asked, "Brother Xuan, is this a machine failure or a company benefit? Are the balances of the executives so exaggerated?"

Chen Zixuan frowned: "No, the vice president's monthly meal allowance is the same as ours."

Li Anbei was speechless: "My dream when I was a child was to spend money casually, and when I grew up, my dream was to find a man who could swipe the card for me casually. I didn't expect that the first time I saw such a fantastic balance with my own eyes, it was in In the company cafeteria."

The two were chatting when they heard another crisp sound beside them.

"when!"

When they heard the sound and looked over, they saw that the spoon in Qi Ji's hand was knocking on the soup bowl again.

Chen Zixuan asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoqi, is it hot?"

The boy lowered his head without raising his face, and said "no" in a low voice, and then continued to bury his head in hardship.

It was as if he wanted to bury himself in a dinner plate for fear of being seen by others.

Chen Zixuan was puzzled, but she saw Li Anbei on the opposite side look strange, opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly lost his temper.

"What’s wrong with you?"

As soon as Chen Zixuan finished speaking, she heard a deep and beautiful voice that made her subconsciously tighten her neck behind her.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

Chen Zixuan turned her head stiffly.

That handsome man with a dinner plate standing beside the only vacant seat in the four-seater with a smile on his lips was the culprit who caused her to work overtime more and more frequently these days.

Pei Yusheng, President Pei.

"The place is full. I saw that there was a vacant seat here, so I came to ask a question." Pei Yusheng smiled, his tone was friendly and approachable. mean.

Three years of high-intensity workplace experience gave Chen Zixuan the last support. She stepped on 12-centimeter high heels and stood up gracefully.

Lying is useless, and it is more troublesome when exposed.

Pei Yusheng chuckled: "Miss Chen? Don't be so polite, I'm just here for lunch."

Chen Zixuan returned a decent smile: "President Pei, please."

The two of them both took their seats, and the surroundings returned to silence, except for the sound of tableware colliding.

There were no other high-level executives in the restaurant today, and with the previous rumors, there was no one who dared to come over and talk to Pei Yusheng for a while. The employees who have finished eating and those who have not finished eating are not too afraid to make a sound, but they are not willing to leave and miss the big show.

——The new president had been absent from work for many days, and suddenly came to the cafeteria in person, and even chose a position next to the special assistant of Deputy General Manager Zhang.

Is it a temptation, or a win?

The atmosphere was very strange for a while, only one person was calm and took the initiative to chat with a few people at the same table.

"Do you usually come here to eat?"

Naturally, it seems that really want to take the people-friendly route to talk about family life.

"Yes."

After Chen Zixuan answered, she was ready for the other party's next question, "Will that vice president come to eat too?"

Pei Yusheng didn't ask, but turned to look at his plate.

It was probably a special treatment for the president. Every plate in front of Pei Yusheng was piled high, with a large quantity and high quality, and there were many varieties. The single lunch meal was two vegetables and one meat, but Pei Yusheng ordered four or five. Meat dishes, large and small plates are placed together, and the trays can hardly fit.

"I seem to order a little too much," Pei Yusheng looked at Chen Zixuan and asked, "Does Miss Chen like to eat sweets? This glutinous rice and red dates will be distributed to you?"

Chen Zixuan was in a cold sweat.

What's the situation, share her jujube with her immediate boss who doesn't deal with her boss.

Is this implying that she'll get out sooner?

Chen Zixuan had already started to revolve around life, and the serious face of Vice President Zhang appeared in front of him.

But before she could answer, Pei Yusheng took another sentence: "Oh yes, girls don't dare to eat this because they are afraid of getting fat."

He turned around, and very naturally handed the plate full of glutinous rice and red dates to Qi Ji, who was sitting opposite him.

"Can you divide it? I haven't touched it yet."

When asked suddenly, Qi Ji, who has been trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, made a move.

He was holding the last red date wrapped in glutinous rice between his chopsticks.

"..." Qi Ji put down his chopsticks, lowered his eyes and said softly, "Thank you, President Pei."

Pei Yusheng gave a low laugh.

The smile finally entered his eyes.

"You're welcome."

After a while, Qi Ji was stuffed with a bunch of vegetables by Pei Yusheng for various reasons, including glutinous rice and red dates, spinach and pork liver, red kidney bean and pig tail, tomato brisket, brown sugar osmanthus glutinous rice lotus...

They are all good for nourishing blood, and they are extremely rich.

For the lunch for three, Pei Yusheng almost gave Qi Ji two and a half. But his actions did not delay the conversation. His words were basically chatting with Chen Zixuan, and even a few words with Li Anbei. Only Qi Ji has been burying her head and suffering because of what happened last night.

But he really ate basically what Pei Yusheng gave him.

Pei Yusheng ate a portion of it himself, but not much. When Qi Ji's frequency of moving his chopsticks finally slowed down, he sipped the soup with the bowl like a cat licking milk, and ate a plate of waffles as dessert before he put away the empty meals, big and small. Dish, get up and leave.

A lot of people have dispersed in the restaurant, but apparently, it is rumors that the crowd disperses faster than the crowd.

Although the party present was Chen Zixuan, the real protagonists of this rumor were Pei Yusheng and Zhang Fu. Chen Zixuan was just lying on the gun, and Qi Ji, who had not spoken at the same table, had no sense of existence in the rumor.

But after the meal, Chen Zixuan went straight to the bathroom to apply makeup for ten minutes.

Eating this meal is more tiring than traveling for a week.

In the afternoon, the rumors were all over the city, but the real party sat firmly in the office and received a report.

The content of the report was very complicated. Pei Yusheng turned to one of the pages, which read: Record and organize afternoon tea orders.

The following is a dense whole:

June 17: Strawberry Mousse

June 18: Dried strawberries

…………

July 26: Strawberry Frappuccino

July 28: Strawberry Coconut Milk Pudding

…………

SEPTEMBER 3: Cheese Raspberry

September 6: Strawberry Cream, Strawberry Chiffon Roll

…………

Knuckles tapped the smooth solid wood tabletop, and Pei Yusheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the report full of strawberries.

At this moment, the phone on the table vibrated.

Glancing at the number on the screen, Pei Yusheng pressed it to connect.

"Hello, Yu Sheng?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and gentle, with some obvious joy and curiosity.

"I heard from my aunt that you brought a lot of snacks at home this morning? Have you been craving dessert recently? Why didn't you tell me? I was on the second floor and you didn't come up."

"Mom," Pei Yu called out, "Qi Lin said you were in a meeting, and my aunt helped me find a lot, so I didn't bother you."

"It's just a regular weekly meeting, so there's nothing to disturb." Pei's mother said angrily, "Qilin and the others brought back a lot of desserts, why did you bring your uncle's gardener back from Hong Kong to bring it to the little ones at home? The child's egg rolls and cookies were also taken away. I asked Qi Shan to help bring another supply to the gardener, and Qi Shan complained to me that he just bought a new sports car and was reluctant to drive it, so he drove his old car to Decheng to buy it. Stuck in the middle of the road without saying anything, and was almost photographed by reporters and posted on the headlines of the Apple newspaper, writing that it was bankrupt and poor enough to drive a broken car to buy egg rolls.”

Pei Yusheng burst into laughter: "I'll give him a new engine for his new car when I look back, as hard work."

The desserts Xu Qilin brought back from Europe are really good, but the price is too high and eye-catching. It’s okay to get two or three boxes.

"Then tell Qi Shan yourself, he must be happy." Pei's mother said, "Qi Shan has come from Hong Kong in the past two days, and you can ask him to bring anything you want to eat. And your Uncle Chen, they just came over last month. Going to sea, we are now in Europe, where there are a lot of chocolates and biscuits, so if you want, you can air it and try it, and if you like it, ask them to buy more and pack it in a container, and it is also convenient to ship it back by sea.”

"There are also a lot of dim sum in S city. If you press 1 with the inside line, they can arrange it for you directly."

She counted one by one, wishing she could shove everything into her son's arms at once.

After all, this is the first time in such a long time that Pei Yusheng has clearly shown a need for something.

Even if it's just a few boxes of snacks, it's much better than he was before, not interested in anything.

It's not that Pei Yusheng didn't understand Mother Pei's mind. If it was before, he would have followed his mother's words and agreed, but he was not interested in taking care of the mountains of gifts that followed.

But this time is different.

He recalled the boy's focus on nibbling at the waffles, the tender pink tongue that was looming when he licked off the candy from the corners of his lips, and what he had never seen but could imagine, the boy eating one by one Satisfaction of strawberries.

This time, even the most ordinary chocolate can make him intrigued.

"Okay." Pei Yusheng replied in a low voice, before Mama Pei's instructions, "Then I will contact Uncle Qishan Chen and the others directly."

"Okay, okay!" Hearing his rare initiative, Mother Pei's happiness almost overflowed from the phone. After a few more chats, they hung up.

Pei Yusheng pondered for a while, and his eyes fell on the small-leaf rosewood pen holder on the table.

There is a folded piece of candy paper lying quietly there, and the strawberry origami with black dots on a red background is vivid.

He dialed another number.

"Hey, Lao Lin, it's me, Pei Yusheng."

"Which of the manors you mentioned two days ago has open space for self-cultivation?"

There was a calm middle-aged male voice on the other side of the phone, but at this time, the tone could not hide the fluctuations: "Second Master Pei? Oh, you mean the open space, right? Sheshan Garden and Tan Palace have both sets. The Tan Palace one is completely Self-owned and unregulated. The needs of Sheshan Garden are in line with the overall landscape design, and the autonomy is slightly weaker, but it can basically be developed by itself...”

He introduced in detail, and after talking about the open space, he was about to introduce the other conditions of the two manors, but heard Pei Yu ask.

"How long does it take for the Tan Palace set to be handed over?"

Lao Lin was stunned for a moment, but he has been in this business for so many years, and his response is very fast, and immediately said: "Tan Palace is a first-hand existing house, fast, and you can go through the VIP channel, you can move in after delivery, and the rest of the procedures can take up to two months. Finish."

This mansion is good for everything. It is located in the top rich area, sitting on the mountains and lakes. It covers an area of ​​7,000 square meters and has a construction area of ​​2,000 square meters.

Speaking of shortcomings, there is only one to choose from.

expensive.

Nine digit base.

Just as Lao Lin was thinking about it, he heard a nonchalant voice over the phone, "Okay."

What does it mean? Lao Lin was not sure, so he asked tentatively, "Second Young Master, then this room..."

"Huh?" The voice over there was still faint, and there was no emotion. "I want the room. Find a time to sign the contract, as soon as possible."

"Eh? Eh! It's done! It's done! It's done!"

"By the way, that open space should be sorted out as soon as possible."

Pei Yusheng spread out his palms, the strawberries were lying in the slender and powerful hands, and the plastic candy refracted the stars.

On the other side of the phone, he suggested diligently, but Pei Yusheng's tone remained flat.

"No, don't plant anything else."

"Give that whole clearing full of strawberries."
