Chapter 525 (2/2)
“Oh, okay. Do you know how many days will be given for the holiday?” Assistant Yang nodded her head continuously and then continued asking.
“Why do you want to know this? The holiday is still two months away.” Special Assistant Liu said a little angrily.
“Sorry, I am just a little homesick.” Assistant Yang said with a low voice.
“Alright. I can tell you in advance there are 7 days.” Special Assistant Liu was older, but he was still single. He couldn’t bear the younger Assistant Yang saying those words. Thus, he immediately surrendered and said that once he heard her answer.
“Great. I haven’t eaten the food cooked by my mum for quite a long time. I miss it so much.” Assistant Yang said with an expectant look.
“You know nothing but eating.” Special Assistant Liu joked with her.
“Not really. I actually want to eat the Wu Rice. Sigh… It’s been quite a few years.” Assistant Yang contradicted that immediately. When she spoke again, however, she was still talking about the food.
“Wu Rice?” Special Assistant Liu asked curiously.
“Yeah, yes. It’s way too tasty. Unfortunately, there’s none in Chengdu. I have looked for it everywhere, but I heard from others that this plant never grows here.” Assistant Yang nodded the head continuously.
“Can you cook?” This was what Special Assistant Liu cared about now.
“Sure. I specially learned that from my mum. I just need the juice squeezed from the fresh tips of the vaccinum bracteatum beans and then cook the beans just like the plain cooked rice. It’s very simple.” Assistant Yang said with great confidence.
“Really? So this dish of yours only has the juice of the fresh tips and the rice?” Jiang Changxi’s clear and suspicious sound passed from behind them.
“Yes. Director Jiang. I’m sorry.” Assistant Yang looked back and became flustered immediately. She stood up and dared not move anymore.
“Director Jiang, this is the meeting agenda required tomorrow and your schedule.” Special Assistant Liu took up a document calmly and handed it to her.
“Well, okay.” Jiang Changxi took the document and glanced over it quickly. Then she nodded the head to show consent.
“Then I’ll make arrangement for this.” Special Assistant Liu said immediately.
“Um. Is that Wu Rice you mentioned just now cooked in the way you described?” Jiang Changxi looked at Assistant Yang and asked seriously.
“I’m sorry, Director Jiang. I shouldn’t have been absent-minded during the working hours.” Assistant Yang lowered her head and apologized with a flush on her face.
“Never mind. Answer my question first.” Jiang Changxi waved her hand and said so.
“Yes. Just like what you described just now.” Assistant Yang nodded the head affirmatively.
“It doesn’t grow here in Chengdu? And we can’t even buy it?” Jiang Changxi knitted her brows and asked.
“No. I have been in Chengdu for six years ever since I studied in college. Never have I seen it.” Assistant Yang said seriously.
“How do you know about the vaccinum bracteatum beans?” Jiang Changxi asked again.
“It’s …” Assistant Yang explained to her carefully and seriously.
“Ok, good. Get your work finished before getting off work today. Next time, remember to chat only after you finish your work.” Jiang Changxi considered for a little while and then said.
“Got it.” Assistant Yang nodded the head obediently.
“Alright. Everyone can get off work on time today. Anybody that finished his work can go now.” Jiang Changxi clapped to attract everybody’s attention before she said that.
Then, there was a burst of applause in the office. After all, they had worked overtime for several days.”
After she announced that, Jiang Changxi returned to her own office in her high-heeled shoes emitting a sound of “Dong Dong Dong”.
“Haha. Little Brat Yuan, you are toast. I found something good.” Jiang Changxi revealed a victorious expression.
While Jiang Changxi tidied up her office and prepare to go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, Liu Jianan that had been standing still by the door also finally waited until the suppertime finished.
