Noticing her gaze, Rui Gang, who was eating noodles, followed her gaze towards the door. When he saw the figure, he immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up respectfully, turned around and bowed: "Sir."
At this moment, everyone else put down their chopsticks, stood up collectively, turned around and greeted respectfully, "Your Excellency."
Bai Yeqing nodded slightly as a response, "Continue eating, don't worry about me."
"The kitchen has changed the flavor today, and it tastes very good. Please try it!" The minister invited earnestly and praised the cooking skills of the 'new chef'.
Bai Yeqing glanced at the so-called 'new chef' calmly, without much emotion in his eyes. He found a seat and sat down, and someone from the kitchen immediately brought the president's tableware.
Xia Xingchen felt that he seemed a little unhappy, probably because he had been busy with too many political affairs recently. She picked up a bowl of noodles, covered it with a perfectly fried egg, and brought it to him.
"Mr. President, enjoy your meal." Bai Yeqing didn't look at her, but took the milky white ivory chopsticks and took a bite.
Someone called her over there again, "Chef, can you fry me another egg?"
"Ah, okay, right away." Xia Xingchen turned around and responded, glancing at someone, "Then... Eat slowly, I'm going to the kitchen."
As she said this, she turned around and was about to leave. Bai Yeqing frowned and held her hand. In such a night, his palm was warm. Fortunately, he was sitting in the last corner, so at least no one saw him pulling her.
Xia Xingchen was frightened. She looked at him, then at the others. She struggled with her hands and gestured with her lips, "Let go quickly... someone is going to see us..."
"Chef." She heard someone call again, and she immediately retracted her hand as if she was burned by something. "What...what?"
She asked, her voice stuttering for some reason. Hmm~ Just as Weiyang said, this feeling... is really a bit like having an affair.
"Any more fruit? I'd like another serving of fruit."
"Yes, I'll go to the kitchen and bring it to you." Xia Xingchen responded crisply, without looking at the person again, and hurried to the kitchen. Leng Fei looked at the person's cold face and wiped the cold sweat.
As a result, she went into the kitchen and came out after a long time. She was busy among the crowd, looking very happy. Not to mention taking into account someone's increasingly ugly expression, she didn't even have time to look at him for a second.
Finally, he put down his chopsticks, stood up and left.
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the table where he had just sat, only to find that he hadn't eaten much at all. Didn't this guy say he wanted to eat noodles? Why did he not eat after she cooked
While she was thinking, Leng Fei returned to the restaurant and exchanged glances with Rui Gang from a distance. After years of tacit understanding, Rui Gang understood instantly. He walked over and whispered in Xia Xingchen's ear, "Ms. Xia, the president asked you to come over immediately."
"… "
… … … … …
In the president's office, the lights were as bright as day.
Xia Xingchen was led in by Leng Fei. Bai Yeqing was sitting on the sofa. His legs, hands, and the coffee table in front of him were all filled with documents. He lowered his head and was reading. He didn't look up when he heard the noise.
Leng Fei quietly retreated again. Xia Xingchen walked a few steps inside by himself, without interrupting him first, but just looked at his working environment calmly.
The office is several hundred square meters in size. In addition to the rest area, work area, meeting area, and bar, the bar is full of famous wines.
There were eight new and modern computer devices, all turned on and running. She looked up and found cameras and infrared devices everywhere in the corners of the wall. Song Yu and his team had the means to install eavesdropping devices in such a cautious and strict place.
She was finally attracted by the military hero medals and some championship trophies in the cupboard. Xia Xingchen walked over slowly and looked at them with relish through the glass.
turn out to be…
He has so many medals.
Sharpshooter.
Fencing champion.
Mortar King.
Land Warrior.
… …
There were many photos, and in every one of them, he was wearing a military uniform, looking very heroic. Xia Xingchen was mesmerized by them, and suddenly felt that she didn't understand this man at all, let alone his world, or even him as a person.
Even the first time she saw him in military uniform was in a photo.
This made her feel somewhat anxious. Knowing more did not make her closer to him, but she felt that she was further away from him...
"What are you looking at?" Bai Yeqing's voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Xingchen turned around. He was sitting on the sofa, and then he raised his head. Their eyes met.
"Look at all these medals you have." She smiled, suppressing her anxiety and fear, "I just realized how amazing you are."
Bai Yeqing looked at her. She had taken off her chef uniform and was only wearing a white shirt and a black knee-length skirt. The black high heels on her feet made her already slender legs look even straighter and more beautiful. She was originally dressed simply and elegantly, but... now, in his eyes, she looked indescribably attractive.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xingchen found that his eyes were fixed on her. She felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. She lowered her head and looked at herself. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Yes. Something was wrong! Something was very wrong! Everything was wrong! So, he also felt something was wrong!
He said in a deep voice, "Come and sit down."
Xia Xingchen walked over. There were documents all around him, so there was really no place to sit. She was about to move to the sofa opposite the coffee table, but he threw the documents he was holding and the documents on his lap aside. He raised his hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.
"Hello." She was startled.
"Where do you want to go?" He lowered his voice. He gently pinched her chin with his long fingers, pressed her little face down, and made her look at him.
Their eyes met, and they were so close, she could clearly see her own shadow in his deep pupils. That look was so deep that it made her heart beat faster. "... I just want to sit across from you."
His fingers were still on her chin, making her feel hot and her mouth dry.
She raised her hand, trying to take his hand away, but he grabbed it and twisted it behind her back. Her fingers were intertwined, and she felt them burning.
"What are you doing tonight?" The man's voice was particularly charming at night.
"Cook noodles. Don't you want to eat noodles?" Xia Xingchen thought his question was strange. "But I see you don't seem to eat much. Are the noodles not tasty tonight?"
"Do you really think I asked you to come here to cook noodles for me?" Bai Yeqing was a little annoyed.
