Chapter 52: Becoming the object of gossip in other people's mouths
It was already lunch break, and Chu Shengge was still looking at the documents in his hand and entering the required content into the computer. The door of the office room was pushed open, and the air in the room immediately changed subtly, and Chu Shengge didn't need to look up to know that the person who broke in was Lu Chenhuan.
Chu Shengge stopped what he was doing and stood up politely: "Mr. Lu." β
It may be Lu Chenhuan's height, or maybe it is the oppressive aura on his body, and the small office suddenly seems cramped. Lu Chenhuan walked over in a few steps, hugged her waist, lowered his head and kissed the hair on the top of her head: "I can't take you to dinner at noon." β
Chu Shengge was forced to lean in front of his burning chest, and his body stiffened due to tension: "Oh. β
Lu Chenhuan brushed her hair with his hand, then took out a card from his suit pocket and put it on Chu Shengge's desk: "What do you want to eat and let them send it over, huh?" β
Chu Shengge glanced at the card on the table, which was Yi Jiangnan's recharge card: "I know." β
After a long French kiss, Chu Shengge's whole weight was attached to Lu Chenhuan's body, and she felt that she might have hypochondriasis, because she couldn't stand on her feet now. Lu Chenhuan seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction, and put her on the chair complacently: "Eat obediently by yourself." β
Lu Chenhuan walked out of her office, and Chu Shengge touched the restaurant recharge card that Lu Chenhuan put on the table, which was locked in the same drawer as the bank card he received earlier. Then he wiped his red and swollen lips with his hand, pinched his wallet and walked out of the office.
Huayi's staff restaurant is actually very good, not only the taste of the food is very good, but the most important thing is very hygienic. Chu Shengge chose scrambled eggs with tomatoes and beef tenderloin with cabbage, and then served a small portion of rice. I sat down in the most inconspicuous place with my plate in my hand and ate in small bites. She has never been a picky eater, and she is used to eating in the school cafeteria. Lu Chenhuan thought that she liked the high-end restaurants like Jiang Nan, but in fact, she didn't, she just liked the time she spent alone with her mother.
Behind Chu Shengge was a small screen, although it played the role of blocking the line of sight, but the sound could still be transmitted clearly.
"Let me tell you, our department has an assistant director parachuted." I only heard someone on the other side of the partition say mysteriously.
The others immediately began to discuss it word by wordβ
"Men and women?"
"It's a very beautiful woman, she looks like she's in her twenties, I just went to the OA file to check, and I haven't uploaded it yet."
"That's, the directors aren't under the age of 35."
"Maybe they're in their forties, but they're just well-maintained."
"Hey...... There is, there is - Deputy Director of Administration, Pei Xinya, October 21, 19** ......"
"I'm really only 22 years old!"
"22 years old...... Associate Director? What's the matter? β
"But they graduated from Harvard Business School...... Prestigious school......"
"It must be super hard backstage, otherwise even if you graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you can't be an associate director at the age of 22......"
"Could it be the top floor...... one girl said in a low voice.
A few more women have a few more words to parachute into the deputy director of the administration department, and there is a new topic......
"It's possible...... Remember Assistant Chu? At first, I was also in the administration department, and I was transferred in less than a week...... Our director told me that it was Liu Tezhu who came down to pick him up. Liu Tezhu...... Under one man, above ten thousand......"
"Well, what I saw with my own eyes was Liu Tezhu who came to pick it up."
"You said Assistant Chu, did you have that ...... with Mr. Lu?"
"Yes...... Assistant Chu is so beautiful, the women are all excited when they see it...... And how much more men ......"
"Absolutely, you know Secretary Luo's resignation, right?"
"Well, it's said that it's because I made a mistake in a very important report......"
"That's what you say...... But...... The people in the president's office said that the report was actually made by Assistant Chu. β
"Huh? Secretary Luo made a scapegoat......"
"Secretary Luo didn't have a backstage, he was killed in seconds. Therefore, don't offend Assistant Chu...... I don't know how much I'm dead......"
"Please, you're paranoid. People are on the 88th floor, you are on the 26th floor, and the floor alone is dozens of floors behind, who do you have the opportunity to offend in the president's room? β
"That's what I said......"
Chu Shengge never talked about other people's gossip, but he couldn't prevent himself from becoming the object of gossip in other people's mouths. The food in her mouth suddenly became difficult to swallow, and she swallowed the rice, choking with a pair of tears. She silently left the dining table, and after entering the elevator, leaned limply against the elevator wall.
The most luxurious western restaurant in Jiangcheng, through the viewing window, you can see the surging river as if it was trampled underfoot. Although it was the peak lunchtime, there was only one table of guests in the entire restaurant. Lu Chenhuan didn't charter the entire restaurant because he wanted to be romantic, eating alone with Pei Xinya already made him very irritable, even if there was a little more noise around, he didn't have the confidence to be able to hold back his temper.
The violin plays a melodious music, the cream-colored tablecloth is embroidered with elegant French embroidery patterns, the delicate roses and golden candlesticks decorate the center of the table, and the crystal chandelier overhead casts a dazzling light and shadow on the table. The wine like a flowing ruby was slowly poured into the crystal clear goblet by the waiter, and the faint aroma of wine diffused in the air, Pei Xinya felt that she was already drunk.
Lu Chenhuan nonchalantly took an oyster from a plate filled with ice cubes and used a small silver awl to pry open the closed shell. The best way to eat fresh oysters is to eat them raw, and the smooth and elastic meat, the saltiness of sea salt and the natural sweetness of the shellfish perfectly delight every taste bud.
Pei Xinya held the knife and fork in her hand, elegantly cut the tender lobster meat in front of her, dipped it in a little sauce, and ate it in small bites: "The lobster here is really good, and the environment of this restaurant is also great, I still like it." β
"If you like it." Lu Chenhuan wiped his hands with a napkin, is the lobster here well done? Maybe it's okay, but it doesn't matter if it's good or not. He only remembered the last time he brought that little girl, she didn't like to eat at all.
Lu Chenhuan felt that he had fallen for a Gu called Chu Shengge, and he had been thinking of her very easily recently, even when he was dealing with work. The way she laughed, the way she cried, the way she looked helpless...... Always popping out of his head without warning. He is like a psychopath with obsessive-compulsive disorder, no matter what he eats or sees, he will casually wonder if she will like it.
He really didn't know anything about Chu Shengge's preferences, but he was like a terminally ill madman who wanted to know everything. His eagerness collided with Chu Shengge's silence, which made him mad with irritation.
Lu Chenhuan didn't eat much for lunch, and his portion of lobster barely moved. Pei Xinya said very intimately: "You have too little to eat for lunch, why don't you pack some snacks and eat them when you are hungry in the afternoon?" β
"Hmm." Lu Chenhuan said to the waiter: "Pack two pieces of mango flowing mousse." β
"Please wait, sir." The waiter immediately went down to pack the cake.
Pei Xinya was a little surprised, in her memory, Lu Chenhuan didn't like sweets very much, could it be that his taste has changed now? If he had become a fan of cakes now, she could have picked up the baking that had been discarded for a long time and made it seriously.
Lu Chenhuan carried the packaged cake, and his mood was finally a little more relaxed. He remembered that Chu Shengge liked this kind of mango mousse, and when he ate it, he enjoyed it, and he didn't know that the cream was sticking to his mouth.
When Lu Chenhuan returned to the company, it was not yet the lunch break, he pushed the door of Chu Shengge's office, and the door was actually locked. Went out to eat and haven't come back? Didn't he give her a meal card and let her order takeout? Lu Chenhuan took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, picked one and stuffed it into the door lock, turned it, and the door clicked open.
He walked into the office and saw Chu Shengge sleeping on the small sofa. She looked very cute when she was asleep, without her usual vigilance and pride, her eyelashes were curled, and her small mouth was curved like a beautiful crescent moon.
Lu Chenhuan put the cake on her desk, then took off her suit and gently covered Chu Shengge. She was curled into a small ball, and the suit turned sideways to cover her tightly.
As soon as Lu Chenhuan turned around, he saw her mobile phone screen light up. He pressed it quickly to stop the bell from ringing, and fixed his eyes to see that it was a pre-set alarm. Lu Chenhuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, Chu Shengge was really the most public-private person he had ever seen. If it were someone else, he would appreciate it. But Chu Shengge is different, he hopes that she can rely on him more, so that she will not always want to be free and want to leave him. Lu Chenhuan walked out of Chu Shengge's office and locked the door.
It's really comfortable to take a nap, Chu Shengge doesn't want to open his eyes closed. But something was wrong, the bald and familiar smell that surrounded her, a pure and crisp taste with a hint of mint aroma...... It's the dust of the road! Chu Shengge opened his eyes and sat up suddenly. Because the movement was too fast, the heart fluttered violently.
What's going on...... The sun is a little westward, and I obviously have an alarm clock. Chu Shengge picked up the suit that she had dropped on the ground - the smooth cut, the fine stitches, and even the buttons were as delicate as a work of art, this suit was as strict and meticulous as his master.
Chu Shengge picked up the mobile phone on the table, and the alarm was turned off. Chu Shengge frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you just touch other people's things, it's rude, okay?" β
She put her phone aside and saw a take-out bag from the restaurant. The coffee-colored paper bag has the name of the hotel printed in gold and a small logo. She took the lunch box out of the paper bag, and as soon as she opened the lid, the sweet mango mixed with the cream wafted out.
If it's anything else, just think about who gave it to her, and basically don't have much appetite. However, in the pastry, she likes to eat mango mousse the most, and besides, she didn't eat a few bites of food at noon, so she couldn't refuse the temptation of cake at all.
Chu Shengge made himself a cup of hot black tea, and then cut a small piece of cake with a small fork and put it in his mouth. The aroma of mango and the moistness of the cream, combined with the smoothness of the mousse mirror, are simply delicious.
The sweet cake not only comforted her empty stomach well, but also temporarily diluted the bitterness in her heart. Sure enough, when she is in a bad mood, Meimei can sleep and eat something sweet.
