Chapter 36(1/2)
After sending Ningning, Zhou Yibai went to the supermarket to buy groceries.
He ate less and Ningning was small, so he usually cooked about one and a half serving. When Meng Yu ate more, he estimated that, plus his own portion, he had to make at least five servings.
He took a bag of rice, and then eggs, chicken and green peppers. He thought about it before checking out, so he folded it back and got the milk, corn sauce and potatoes.
After I finished picking up, I waited in line to check out again, but after thinking about it, it was wrong, so I turned back and got a few apples.
After walking three times, Zhou Yibai finally settled the bill smoothly and walked home with a lot of bags of ingredients.
It was exactly 9:30 when he got home. Zhou Yibai glanced at Shi Zhong, took a big sip of water, and walked towards the kitchen with a firm look.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Yu had just finished the meeting, and before the meeting ended, he called everyone to stop.
"Listen." Meng Yu looked serious, so serious that everyone thought the company was about to collapse. "My friend is coming to deliver me food at noon today."
"!!!" Everyone's eyes widened.
"He is more introverted and afraid of being accustomed to life, so you don't want people to be crazy when you see him, don't talk nonsense, and don't pull me in front of him, do you know?"
Everyone was still immersed in the sudden incident and did not react, and it was quiet.
Seeing that they all looked weird, Meng Yu shouted, "I told you not to talk nonsense, you didn't speak, you were sarcastic!"
"Okay..." After being yelled like this, Xiao Zheng came to his senses first, thinking to himself why he was so angry that he said we were so sarcastic.
He replied: "We will pay attention, not talk nonsense, and not pull the boss's back. We will definitely keep Brother Meng Yu's flawless image in his heart."
Meng Yu always felt that he was damaged again, but it was not the time to argue, so he had to resist the impulse and gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to do something wrong, I will let you..."
"Gu?" Everyone answered for him with understanding.
"Get out!" Meng Yu was furious, and the group of people could not communicate at all.
After the meeting, Meng Yu went back to the office angrily, and a group of people were left looking at each other outside.
Although they were about to go on a break again, for Meng Yu's happiness, they couldn't help but get together to discuss it again.
"That charming bitch is coming!"
"I'm going to deliver food in just a few days? What else can he deliver?"
"I don't know if I can cook. Maybe I can buy it directly in the restaurant and bring it, and I will still use the boss's card."
Everyone thought of a charming slut carrying a five-star hotel takeout, dressed up in a colorful manner, with watery eyes and confused expressions, and a mad dog-like look.
The combination of various contradictory images made the person's image even more terrifying. Everyone looked solemn when they thought of it.
"Don't think too much, maybe we're over-thinking." Someone comforted everyone with an optimistic attitude.
"That's right, you're so good at making up for it." Someone quickly agreed, "Don't think of people so terrible, the boss isn't blind!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, and the atmosphere finally improved.
However, someone said quietly: "He thought his ex-girlfriend was good at the beginning..."
"..." Everyone fell silent again.
At 11:45, Meng Yu quickly wrote on the document with a mobile phone in one hand and a pen in the other.
When Xiao Zheng entered the office, he heard Meng Yu say in a gentle tone: "Wait for me and I will pick you up. Brother is busy with something, so I'll pick you up at half past twelve?"
Meng Yu's tone that was so gentle that he was about to emerge was completely different from his usual tone of either ridicule or contempt. Xiao Zheng felt that Meng Yu was probably poisoned and had a very deep poison.
"Okay, okay... Then be careful yourself. If you are tired, find a place to rest and I will pick you up." Meng Yu smiled, "Okay, you must be safe, otherwise you will feel sorry for me."
Xiao Zheng got goosebumps when he heard this. After putting the things he wanted to hand to Meng Yu on the table, he stepped back stiffly.
When Meng Yu saw him leaving, he suddenly waved his hand to keep him.
"Okay, then I'll go and see you later." Meng Yu hung up the phone and looked up at Xiao Zheng.
It took only a second for me to hang up the phone, but Meng Yu's expression changed instantly, and the tender expression just now disappeared without a trace. He said expressionlessly: "He will come to the company by himself later. You will go downstairs to pick him up at about 12:50."
"I'll pick him up?" Xiao Zheng opened his mouth.
"You take him upstairs and take him directly into my office." Meng Yu said, "Remember to prepare a towel for him to wipe his sweat, and then tell him to have a meal first and don't wait for me."
Meng Yu said while packing up the information in his hand, leaving the office quickly, and then turned around and reminded him: "Speak well, don't scare him."
"Help!" Xiao Zheng ran out of Meng Yu's office in panic, "His friend wants to come to the company by himself, I have to go down to pick him up later!"
"Ah? Come on your own?"
"Yes, he doesn't want the boss to pick him up, saying he wants to do it himself!"
A scene suddenly appeared in everyone's mind: a slutty sports car engine rumbling and earthquakes, a gorgeous tail swinging stopped downstairs of the company, and a man with heart-shaped sunglasses on his head...
Everyone is imagining it so thrilling.
At twelve to five, Xiao Zheng and a few people who volunteered to accompany him downstairs.
Some of the people were holding briefcases and some were holding coffee, and they all pretended not to know Xiao Zheng so that they could observe it secretly.
Time has come, and Xiao Zheng stood at the entrance of the office building and looked into his head.
A colleague disguised as a passerby whispered: "Is it sure it's this time?"
"It's this time." Xiao Zheng looked down at his watch.
Meng Yu walked too fast and forgot to tell Xiao Zheng about Zhou Yibai's clothes, so everyone had to judge based on their impression of the photos.
However, at noon, people came and went around. Everyone looked around for a long time, but they didn't see anyone who looked like the person in the photo.
"Hey, all the takeaway delivery guys are here, why haven't that Mr. Zhou come yet?"
A young man delivering food came not far away. After everyone could observe, he looked at the delivery guy boredly.
"There are still people who walk to deliver takeout now? It's too hard."
I saw the delivery guy carrying a backpack and carrying a big bag in each hand. Inside the bag was a box of fresh-keeping boxes.
The delivery guy was handsome and handsome, not short, but his face was flushed and sweaty, and seemed a little weak. Seeing him walking slowly with a big bag with difficulty, everyone couldn't help feeling pitiful.
"Brother, will I help you?" Colleague A extended a helping hand.
"Ah?" The young man raised his head in shock, then shook his head quickly and whispered, "Thank you, thank you...I'm fine..."
The young man moved a few steps slowly, then he retreated as if he remembered something, put down the bag in his hand and took out his cell phone and asked them, "Where are you going here?"
It was an address that was posted on WeChat. When everyone looked at the address, they found that it was referring to their own company. They wondered who ordered takeaway today and how could they remember that they were not ordered...
Suddenly, Xiao Zheng noticed the person who sent the WeChat message and felt that the avatar was very familiar... gold-framed glasses... a man in suit...
etc!
Xiao Zheng looked up at the handsome guy with a red face in front of him, and then recalled the guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the photo... Although he didn't look like him at all, his skin color and body shape...
"Are you Mr. Zhou?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Ah?" The guy raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and then nodded slightly.
"???" Everyone looked confused.
Three minutes later, a group of people stood in the elevator.
"Mr. Zhou, should I help?" Colleague B saw that Zhou Yibai's hand holding the bag turned red, and couldn't bear to help.
However, Zhou Yibai still shook his head like a frightened little rabbit, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, I'll just mention it..."
Zhou Yibai walked for a while with heavy objects and was already out of breath. He found that his breathing was too loud and quickly held his breath and did not make any sound.
However, I couldn't hold my breath and continued to breathe after a few seconds.
I can't make a sound... but I'm so breathing... I must hold it back... Let me breathe for a few more... Zhou Yibai was in such an emotion and didn't notice that the few people around him looked at him with disbelief.
Seeing Zhou Yibai trying hard to hold his breath, several people felt inexplicably cute inside...
When they arrived at the floor, Xiao Zheng led Zhou Yibai into the office. Everyone along the way opened their mouths and looked frightened when they saw Zhou Yibai's appearance.
Zhou Yibai stood in the office and seemed at a loss. Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "Please sit down."
"Thank you..." Zhou Yibai gently put down the things in his hand, and slowly sat on the edge of the sofa, with a cautious expression.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Xiao Zheng hurriedly asked for a towel to hand it over and said, "The boss is still busy, and he will come later. He wants you to have a meal first."
"Okay...thank you..." Zhou Yibai took the towel carefully with both hands and nodded politely to Xiao Zheng to thank him.
As soon as Xiao Zheng left the office, everyone immediately surrounded him.
"Have he told you to call the boss right away?"
"No."
"Did you look at you with a squint?"
"No."
"Then at least you have to shake the towel on your face, right?"
"Still not!" Xiao Zheng shook his head in grief, "He also took the towel away with both hands and said thank you to me."
Everyone was stunned.
Xiao Zheng was still mentally prepared to be embarrassed just now, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did not look cool, but was also very polite.
To be continued...
