”What are you saying? As the CEO, I asked my secretary to prepare lunch for me. Is that too much?” Gu Xi Jue glared at Xia Lan snappily.
Seeing her expression, Gu Xi Jue pondered in his heart whether he had provoked her a little too much, and whether his words that morning had caused some sort of trouble for her.
Luo Song walked over foolishly and sat beside Gu Xi Jue: ”Gourmet, what's the matter?”
It wasn't that he wanted to order Xia Lan around, it was just that he thought that if Xia Lan helped them get lunch, the others wouldn't think too much about it.
The others didn't think much into it, but Luo Song was completely terrified, and they immediately stopped him and said: ”Aiyo, aiyo, no need to, I'll go call him recently.”
Luo Song thought, in the morning he had overheard them chatting at the teahouse, they had said that Gourmet stayed over at Xia Lan's place last night. This relationship, he didn't know what kind of identity Xia Lan would have in the future, so how could he dare to order her around?
”It's nothing. You guys can talk about this first. I'll be back soon.” Xia Lan said as he stood up and went to get dinner.
Xia Lan had a good impression of Luo Song. When he first arrived at the company, he did not put on any airs. He helped her a lot later when she was having difficulties at work.
As a level one assistant of the Gourmet, his position in the company was even higher than the department general manager. To be able to get close to people like him was truly not easy.
After Xia Lan left, Luo Song asked: ”Gourmet, do you have any instructions?”
Gu Xi Jue's black eyes were deep, so deep that ink seemed to drip out of it. His expression was extremely serious, as if he was thinking about something important.
In truth, he did not think of anything and suddenly called Luo Song over. Actually, it was to dissolve the morning rumors as well as Xia Lan's awkwardness.
”It's not a particularly important matter. You've been busy the entire morning, so it's better to have a good meal first. I'll come find you in the afternoon.” Gu Xi Jue intentionally lowered his voice and considerately patted Luo Song's shoulder.
's words moved Luo Song greatly. Gourmet was actually so compassionate to him. If he did not submit all of his experiences to work, it would simply be letting down the Gourmet's beautiful heart.
Xia Lan returned with two plates in her hands. One of the employees looked away from the gossip and saw that the big BOSS was sitting together with his assistant and secretary, it was obviously talking about work, some kind of gossip had spread out.
How boring!
Especially the women who secretly admired Gu Xi Jue, they comforted themselves by thinking that they must have been overthinking it, and that it must have been spread around randomly by other people.
How could their Gourmet possibly fancy a woman like Xia Lan?
After Xia Lan sat down, she continued to eat. When the chopsticks reached the pig liver, she suddenly thought of what Luo Song had said before, that the Gourmet had personally ordered the kitchen to make the pig liver, and she had heard her female colleagues complain more than once.
Not to mention the others, even she was disgusted by the food.
”Gourmet, how long is this pig's liver going to last?” Xia Lan asked half-truthfully, mixed with a little bit of difficulty.
Gu Xi Jue never admitted that he was the one who personally ordered the pig liver. Now that she asked such a question, it was clear that he was doing it to make things difficult for him.
Gu Xi Jue looked at Luo Song with a deep gaze. Only Luo Song knew about this.
Luo Song was an intelligent person, he would rather die than admit it: ”I did not say it.”
Gu Xi Jue's expression did not change at all, nor did he become embarrassed from being exposed: ”Caring for the staff, is there anything wrong with that, Xia Secretary should not thank me.”
”Thank you, Gourmet, but … ”I'm sick of eating.” Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue with a smile.
