Although it is a high-end buffet, for Ji Huai, the price is still very affordable, and the taste of the ingredients is not to his liking.
When Gu Lan and Tian Ya went to pick up the food, he was sitting lazily and leisurely.
Tian Ya walked around and picked up some crayfish, crabs, and grilled small sea fish...
Because she was sitting at the same table as Ji Huai, she didn't dare to take it. She hesitated when she saw the delicious food and looked sideways at her CEO who was sitting on the seat.
It's a lot of pressure, if the other party thinks she's embarrassed and leaves a bad impression.
"Since we are here to eat at the buffet, we have to get the expensive ones. Otherwise, why not? There are also lobsters, steaks, and crabs here. Get more." Gu Lan took a few small plates of crayfish.
Seeing the roast beef skewers coming out, she took ten skewers and looked at Tian Ya while picking up the steaks, "Do you want it?"
"I want a piece too." Tian Ya held the plate and stretched it forward. Gu Lan put a piece on her plate and poured a spoonful of black pepper juice on her.
The two of them walked back with their food. Soon, the table was filled with various lobsters, crabs, grilled beef skewers...
Ji Huai looked at Gu Lan who was cutting a steak and said, "Didn't you get me a piece?"
Tian Ya stopped eating and saw Secretary Gu beside her slowly cutting a piece of steak and putting it in her mouth. She looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you get it yourself?"
Ji Huai was not annoyed and waved to the waiter to get it.
The waiter came over, put his hands in front of him, bent slightly and stood beside him. Hearing his request, he looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We can help you get other things, but dishes like steak and lobster sometimes have to be... Queuing up, it won’t be good for our waiters to queue up, you have to go there yourself.”
"Buffet restaurant? Do you understand the word buffet?" Gu Lan also answered with a smile.
Rely on your own strength and learn to help yourself.
"..." He waved his hand for the waiter to leave first, then stood up and looked at Gu Lan, raising the corners of his lips, "Sharp and sharp-tongued."
He spoke softly, as if spitting out a circle between his lips and teeth, giving it a somewhat different flavor.
Tian Ya lowered her head and quietly stuffed another small piece of steak into her mouth.
After the bump, the president's indulgent and doting tone made me feel like this.
Just when Ji Huai was about to walk to the food area, Gu Lan put down his knife and fork and reminded, "It's synthetic steak, you won't be used to it."
She was an orphan since she was a child. What hardships has she never experienced? Ji Huai was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a tricky mouth.
The cost of this kind of synthetic steak is only a few dozen yuan. No matter how high-end a buffet restaurant is, it is impossible to strive for excellence in some dishes, let alone the filet mignon that Ji Huai often eats. How about losing money
If you give it to him, he won’t eat it, it’s a waste.
"Do you know if I'm not used to eating?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, walking directly to that end.
Gu Lan had no intention of paying attention at first. After cutting another piece of steak, he thought about it and got up and walked quickly towards him.
Tian Ya observed the two of them and stuffed a piece of crab leg meat into her mouth. From the back, they looked so well matched.
Then he saw Gu Lan squatting down to get the plate. He felt that the president was still a bit arrogant, and it would be better if he cared more for Secretary Gu.
The other end.
When Ji Huai saw that she was about to pick up food for him, he took the plate directly from her hand and said, "This is a buffet, I can take care of myself."
Gu Lan: "..."
Quite a temper.
She didn't care and walked to the freezer on the side to get red wine.
The red wine here was kept in bottles without opening them. The waiter helped her open the caps of the bottles and brought three more glasses to her.
Ji Huai also came back with a plate. He took a small piece of steak, some dishes, and some fried rice.
Gu Lan was pouring red wine, so he gave half a cup to Tian Ya, poured another cup, and handed it to Ji Huai as a token gesture, thinking he was rejecting it, but he took it and took a sip.
She was still waiting for him to complain. After all, the price of these red wines must not be more than a hundred, and the wholesale price was even cheaper. In the end, he just pursed his lips, put it down, picked up the knife and fork and ate the food on his plate.
For Ji Huai, if he hadn't had that experience in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to eat it. Later, he went bankrupt and became a beggar, so why did he care about whether it tasted good or not
People want to fill their stomachs before they pay attention to quality.
Gu Lan watched him eating fried rice and steak, and always felt a little strange, as if... he had eaten fireworks in the world.
However, Ji Huai's table manners are beyond description. He behaves casually but attentively. He puts his suit jacket aside and rolls up his shirt cuffs, revealing a bit of a noble temperament.
He ate the meal without making any comments. He only took one or two bites of the dishes they brought and didn't eat much.
Gu Lan thought he wouldn't take a second sip of the red wine. After drinking one glass, he poured himself another glass. He put his right leg on his left leg and held his head back casually, elegantly and lazily.
It was rare that he had no sense of presence, and Tian Ya gradually became more courageous. She and Gu Lan finished plate after plate of lobsters and nibbled on several crabs, which were very delicious.
The waiter came forward to clear the dishes attentively and cleared them several times.
Gu Lan didn't care about him anymore. After finishing the appetizer, she went to choose vegetables and cook a bowl of noodles. After eating the bowl of noodles, she could also go to the fresh food area to pick up seafood, which the chef cooked on the spot.
She chose some shellfish, squid and fresh shrimps, a spicy pot base, mixed herself a spicy and sour dipping sauce, and added a few small oranges. It was delicious.
Tian Ya also followed her to cook a bowl. Halfway through the meal, she was already a little full and did not dare to take more. It was so spicy that she drank water desperately and slowed down her movements.
Gu Lan took her time from beginning to end and ate the last sixty. The waiter came to clear the plate and recommended the restaurant's special pastries to her. He brought three pieces and poured her a special drink.
"Thank you." She took it.
Ji Huai only tasted one bite of the pastry. He didn't like anything that was too sweet. Tian Ya couldn't eat it anymore and only ate half of it. Gu Lan finished it in small sips and thought the special drink was good. The waiter went to pour it for her again. Had a glass.
When Ji Huai went to the bathroom, he answered the phone. When he came back, Gu Lan was not there. He looked at Tian Ya, "Where's Secretary Gu?"
"Secretary Gu went to get some fruit. She wants to eat passion fruit." Tian Ya replied.
"Still eating?" Ji Huai couldn't help but smile in his eyes. He seemed to find it interesting and smiled even more.
When Gu Lan came back, he brought some passion fruits and other fruits.
The passion fruit was very sweet, and Gu Lan even asked them if they wanted to eat it.
"No, I'm full." Tian Ya shook her head. She was full. She ate a lot and drank several glasses of water.
Ji Huai, on the other hand, was not interested in these things. His eyes kept falling on her face, his eyes were a little gentle.
Gu Lan noticed his gaze and felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly ignored it.
Her movements were still unhurried and she could chat with them about the company and today's contract. Unknowingly, she had also finished the fruit in front of her.
"Secretary Gu, you eat so much, why are you still so thin?" Tian Ya kept staring at her belly, with incredible eyes.
The other party has been eating.
Within two hours of coming in, I kept eating.
"Their food is pretty good, don't you think?" Gu Lan asked.
"It's okay." Tian Ya ate a little eagerly in the early stage, but later she lost her appetite when she was full, and now she's full.
After eating and drinking, it was past eight o'clock. Most of the guests in the restaurant had left, and a few people stood up and left.
Tian Ya wanted to go to the toilet and walked in front, while Gu Lan and Ji Huai walked behind.
As she was walking, he suddenly approached her and said with a smile, "Have you eaten so much at night?"
Gu Lan could naturally tell that he was congratulating her. Last time she said she wouldn't eat at night, she wasn't embarrassed, "Because it's delicious."
Ji Huai nodded, asking and answering himself, "I can afford it, it's all a trivial matter."
What to say? Gu Lan was about to quarrel with him when he raised his hand to put on her shoulders and brought her into his arms, their bodies slightly touching each other.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, new grudges were added to old grudges, and she suddenly had an outlet. Her beautiful eyes were filled with aggression, and she bent her elbows to push back against his ribs.
Ji Huai moved faster than her, took a step back, grabbed her elbow with his big hand, and pushed her to the side, "You are so angry, be careful of getting hit."
Before she finished speaking, two children were fighting and walking towards her, chasing each other. Their mother had no choice but to follow behind, with an embarrassed look on her face.
"It's okay." Gu Lan whispered back to the woman. The curse words stuck in his throat again and he swallowed them alive.
She thought Ji Huai would be unreasonable, but she didn't expect that he didn't say anything and continued to walk forward. Just like when he had just eaten, the food clearly didn't suit his taste, but he didn't say anything and finished all the food he took.
Suddenly, I felt that he was not that unruly and rebellious, with the arrogance of a playboy, but he also had some cultivation and tolerance.
The three of them lived in this building, and without waiting for Tian Ya, Gu Lan and Ji Huai entered the elevator first.
There were only two people in the elevator, and she was standing next to him. Ji Huai stretched out his hand to support her waist and looked at her carefully.
Gu Lan angrily knocked his hand off and stared at him.
Ji Huai smiled, "I'm just curious."
After eating so much, where did all the meat go
Gu Lan said nothing and was unwilling to even look at him.
Curious about the size.
"Would you like to come to my room today?" He leaned toward her as usual, raising his flirtatious eyebrows and raising his voice slightly, with hints in his words.
She refused simply, "I won't go."
Not interested in.
"Don't you want to?" He raised his slender fingers with clear joints and gently moved her loose hair behind her ears.
Gu Lan: "I think so."
"Um?"
Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice, "I want to tear your mouth apart!"
She was becoming increasingly impatient when facing him. She wanted to retaliate whenever he spoke, and she couldn't help it for a moment.
Stop giving him face!
Ji Huai smiled instead of being angry, a burst of joyful laughter burst from his throat, his chest trembled, and he put his hand on her shoulder, "I'm teasing you, why are you getting more and more hairy?"
Gu Lan was even more unhappy when she heard that he was teasing her. She threw his hand away and said sarcastically, "Do you think you're greasy?"
"You feel if it's greasy." His handsome face appeared in front of her, his peach blossom eyes looked at her with a smile, and the corners of his thin mouth were curved.
Gu Lan faced his clear face, straight nose, and lazy tone, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Who doesn't love beauty
She is not a rigid person, and if he hadn't been so attractive to her, she wouldn't have gotten on this boat. The two of them just need each other.
To put it bluntly, at his level, if she were in the entertainment industry, she would have to spend money to become a sponsor and go to the club, which would be the "top card" and the price might not be low.
Thinking of this, she raised her hands, covered Ji Huai's face with both hands, and said with a smile, "It's a little bit, please pay more attention in the future."
The touch on her hands was delicate. Ji Huai was two years older than her. He didn't use any skin care products, but his skin was so good. It really made people jealous.
He also put his hands on her slender waist and raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
She patted his face gently, "Really."
It felt so good, and she didn't know when she would be able to slap it confidently.
Ji Huai couldn't help but took her hand and tied it to his neck. He held her waist and lowered his head to kiss her, kissing her again and again.
Her lips were moist and sweet. He brought her into his arms, wanting to deepen the kiss. Just as he was getting into it, he felt a burst of pain. He let out a "hiss" sound and then let go.
Gu Lan used so much force that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was ready to fly into a rage.
I drank some wine, which makes me brave.
Ji Huai gently wiped the corners of his mouth and licked the bloodshot eyes, "Why is Secretary Gu so bad-tempered? Why is he like a powder keg now?"
A light kiss is fine, but a deep kiss will cause you to be bitten. Women have moody tempers.
When the elevator door opened, Gu Lan stretched out his hand to push him away and walked away neatly without looking back.
Ji Huai lowered his eyes and chuckled after a moment.
It's good to have a temper, but I'm afraid she won't.
The three of them moved to the Ji Group hotel the next day. Gu Lan suggested that she and Tian Ya stay in a common suite to experience it. The service in the penthouse suite was naturally not bad, but there would be deviations.
And the follower Ji Huai wants to be like them, and he always talks the same thing.
Gu Lan also booked a room for him. Anyway, he was the one who wanted to be tortured, so he could do whatever he wanted.
No one at the hotel was notified, so no one knew they were coming. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw that it was a large chain hotel, a large domestic high-end hotel company, and the lobby was luxuriously decorated.
Ji Huai felt a sense of belonging and looked at the two of them, "Today's dinner will be at the hotel restaurant. Our hotel also has a buffet restaurant on the 37th floor."
Don't you like heights? The floor is higher than the hotel yesterday!
Tian Ya's eyes brightened again and she swallowed, but when she saw the injured corner of the CEO's mouth, she hesitated to speak.
It's so intense that it's hard not to think about it.
Because she knew whose masterpiece it was, she didn't dare to care, so she could only look at Secretary Gu quietly.
Gu Lan looked calm, as if he didn't see it.
After checking in, Ji Huai went out to play golf with several other partners, accompanied by Gu Lan and Tian Ya.
The other party looked at the corner of Ji Huai's mouth, "Mr. Ji? What's wrong with the corner of his mouth? Is it hot?"
Another partner also looked over and asked, "Is it too hot today to cause blisters?"
It's normal to be acclimatized.
Ji Huai was taking aim at the ball and swinging down with a standard and beautiful posture. He looked at the ball in the distance, put away the club and walked back. He smiled and replied to the two of them, "I was bitten by a certain little wild cat."
Hearing this, Gu Lan stood aside and made a move. Tian Ya was so sensitive. Her eyes widened and she suddenly became excited again.
Pussycat!
Beautiful little wildcat!
The CEO’s little wildcat secretary!
"Cat?" The partner didn't respond for a moment.
Another person laughed loudly, "Which little wild cat dares to bite Mr. Ji? It seems that Mr. Ji is too indulgent."
Ji Huai: "I can't help it, I should get used to it."
"Is Mr. Ji hiding his beauty in the golden house?" the partner asked half-jokingly.
"I can't hide it, I can't hide it, and I'm not coquettish either." Ji Huai said with a chuckle.
"It seems like good things are coming soon?"
…
Gu Lan listened expressionlessly, and he could hear his own teeth grinding.
Tian Ya's eyes spread between the two.
The president really loves Secretary Gu very much, what a damn love.
She really wanted to tell others, tell everyone in the office: Secretary Gu took down the president!
"Secretary Gu." Ji Huai turned to look at her, "Are you going to play with Mr. Huang?"
Gu Lan wanted to refuse directly, but she was sensible in such a situation. She walked over and took the club from him.
Mr. Huang said: "Mr. Ji, are you trying to be lazy?"
Send a secretary to send him away? As a face-saving person, he was somewhat unhappy.
"I'm going to drink some water." Ji Huai passed by Gu Lan and said to Mr. Huang, "Secretary Gu and I are the same, and Secretary Gu's skills are better than mine."
This sounds strange.
What's the same
Gu Lan was currently wearing a white sportswear and hat. He frowned and glared at him sideways.
Ji Huai patted her shoulder gently with a smile and said warmly, "You play with Mr. Huang."
When Mr. Huang was about to say something, Mr. Li next to him stopped him, took the pole in his hand, and stepped forward to play with Gu Lan.
Gu Lan was smart and sensitive. The effect of Ji Huai's words was just like Zhang Hao's that day. When the other party saw her, she no longer looked like he was looking at a secretary.
Although she is capable, she is no match for the huge Ji Group behind her.
At the end, after a conversation, the other party took the initiative to hand her his business card, and his attitude changed completely.
She clearly knew what position they put her in. At least she was now a "popular person" around Ji Huai, not just a secretary.
Connections come faster than ever, and they come proactively.
Gu Lan knew very well what kind of things should be done at what time. Since there was no public refutation of the relationship with Ji Huai, there was no need to fall out.
Otherwise, it would be a little bit awkward, and besides, she herself is not clear either.
After the event was over, while Tian Ya was away, Gu Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the business cards in his hand, "I can't understand your thoughts more and more now."
"What are you thinking?" Ji Huai pretended to be stupid.
Gu Lan met his gaze, raised her bright red lips, her eyes were slightly charming, she lightly opened her thin lips and said slowly, "As Ji's secretary, someone will give you three points of shame. If you change your identity, , seems to be more popular. In the end, I will not suffer any loss in this transaction."
For her, love is not a consideration, nor is marriage.
In the future, if you meet someone you feel comfortable with, you can have more love affairs. If you have a child, consider going abroad for in vitro fertilization. If you have a child, hire a nanny or a nanny, which can also be considered as playing the role of a mother.
There are many ways to live in life, the emphasis is on experience.
The last thing she cares about is scandal, she only cares about real interests.
Ji Huai looked into the distance with a smile on his lips, "Isn't this the purpose? To give you a bigger platform to perform."
Gu Lan frowned.
He was half-joking, looking sideways at her, "Isn't that good?"
"Why?" She was very confused. The two of them had been on business trips many times before and had always maintained a superior-subordinate relationship with clear boundaries, but this suddenly changed.
He became extremely shameless and couldn't bear it anymore.
"I think so." Ji Huai didn't shy away. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'm not kidding. It's good to say good things."
Gu Lan's brows furrowed even more.
He didn't sit up straight and chuckled, his warm breath spraying in her ears, "Have you ever heard of... Ri-Jiusheng..."
Before he could say a word of love, Gu Lan stepped on him and lowered his face, "No!"
Ji Huai breathed in pain and laughed at the same time, "You are really willing to do it."
"You are asking for trouble." Gu Lan looked at him coldly, "You are still very ill. I suggest you go to the hospital to be admitted to the neurology department."
He also put away his careless expression and shrugged, "There is no other purpose, I just want to, and it can't stop me from expressing my emotions. I just like it, that's the reason."
Gu Lan was slightly startled by the sudden confession, and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Ji Huai: "I'm not forcing you. I don't like to force others. Just like when we were together at the beginning, you and I were willing, each getting what he wanted. Now I just want to go further. I think we can achieve a deeper 'cooperative relationship' , more stable, I feel comfortable and comfortable with you, I like it.”
For example: fair love, marriage...
Gu Lan smiled and answered with unclear words: "Maybe we can cooperate in depth, I will consider it."
She knows herself too well, is resolute, career-oriented, interests first, self-centered, and pessimistic... If she marries Ji Huai, it will be a prenuptial agreement for mutual benefit, and they will be tied together for the greater good.
If you can't find anyone, this seems to be a good choice. You can get what you want, consolidate your status and resources, and integrate into the society better without suffering any strange looks.
Anyway, she didn't like anyone, so she really couldn't find a big problem with him. Gu Lan thought about it and seemed to think it was feasible.
Ji Huai knew that she had misunderstood, but he did not explain. There was a hint of softness in his dark eyes, "Okay."
