Chapter 3/5

“Yes, you need a food-card. This cafeteria is not open to outsiders. Are you an employee in this building?” asked the Mala Tang Boss.

“I am from the New Century Group. It’s my first time coming here…” I explained.

“Then you can go to the Personnel Department and ask them to make a food-card for you. We don’t accept cash here!” The Boss said as he swayed the spicy Mala Tang.

Get a card? Wouldn’t the cafeteria already be closed by the time I got a food-card!

“Director Liu, what’s the matter?” a beautiful voice was heard from behind me. As I turned back to look, it was Yang Mei from the company!

“Oh… I don’t have a food-card.” I said while smiling awkwardly.

“Ah, is that the matter. Then I will treat you to a meal!” Tang Mei said and generously took out her food-card, swapping it in the card reader.

The Mala Tang Master handed over the spicy Mala Tang to me after the payment was completed. After that, I went to the next window and bought two biscuits. Yang Mei was the one who paid for them as well.

As for herself, Yang Mei got a big bowl of rice with spare ribs. I couldn’t comprehend how she could eat so much with her small stature. It was inexplicable.

“Sorry, I made you pay for me,” I said to Yang Mei. A grown man like me actually had to depend on a young female student for a meal. It wasn’t a good feeling.

“Heh, it’s not even worth ten dollars. No need to worry!” Yang Mei said with an exaggerated smile.

“Then I will treat you to a meal tomorrow.” I casually said to Yang Mei. {TL Note: [Must get this chick into my harem.]}

“Okay! That’s a promise then!” Yang Mei hurriedly said. {TL Note: [I must get this husband, hehe. I won’t let you run away.]}

“Don’t worry, I won’t renege on my words!” I promised her.

Holding the food, I and Yang Mei found an empty table and sat down.

I took a bite of the Mala Tang before and knitted my brows. The taste wasn’t even near that of Chen Wei’er’s family. It wasn’t any good.

“Director Liu, what happened? Is it not good?” Yang Mei asked as she saw me frown.

“No need to call me Director Liu outside work, just call me Liu Lei.” I said, “Indeed, this Mala Tang isn’t as good as the one back home.”

“Then, I will call you Liu Lei!” Yang Mei nodded, “Where are you from Liu Lei?”

“I am from Songjiang Province, Songjiang City,” I said.

“Songjiang? As for as I know, Mala Tang isn’t a specialty in Songjiang!” Yang Mei said as she felt strange.

“It is not, but my friends family opened a Sichuan restaurant. The Mala Tang they make has an authentic flavor to it, and is very delicious.” I said.

“Which friend?” Yang Mei caught the small change in my expression and asked.

“Oh, just a friend from University.” I didn’t want to talk too much about my matters with people I didn’t know too well. {TL Note: You just wanna dupe her.}

“Female Friend?” Yang Mei asked as she blinked.

“Yeah.” I nodded subconsciously.

“Hehe, there must be something else! Is she your girlfriend?” Yang Mei questioned.

“Why are you asking so much, do you want to investigate my permanent address as well!” I flicked Yang Mei’s small forehead and said, “Hurry and finish your meal!”

“Aiya! Don’t flick my forehead like that, I am not a little girl!” Yang Mei rubbed her perfect forehead and intentionally said in a childish tone.

Sure enough, Yang Mei stopped talking for a while. But after eating a few mouthfuls of her meal, she spoke again, “Liu Lei, suppose you met a girl even more beautiful than your girlfriend one day, what will you do then?”
