Five minutes later, I knocked on Luo Xiangdong's door on time, and with the sound of his coming in, I pushed the door open and entered. Luo Xiangdong was sitting on the sofa waiting for me as usual, with a cake on the coffee table in front of him.
I walked in, put down two cups of coffee, and then took out the freshly heated xiaolongbao and soy milk from the bag, as well as a box of four flavors of pickles.
Luo Xiangdong watched me take out all kinds of food from the bag like a treasure. He finally couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What?"
I raised my head and replied, "Baozi and soy milk."
I thought to myself, he is not so rich that he has never even eaten steamed buns and soy milk, right
Luo Xiangdong saw what I was thinking. He glared at me without hesitation and said, "I'm not blind. I can see the steamed buns and soy milk. I'm asking you why you brought these?"
I said: "Eating cakes for breakfast every day is a bit monotonous. We Orientals still have to eat steamed buns and drink soy milk. Originally, I wanted to buy tofu curd, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to it, so I bought soy milk."
In the past two days, I saw that Luo Xiangdong only took a few bites of cake and drank coffee. I felt that he didn't like cake that much, so I decided to buy steamed buns and soy milk.
Dividing the hot buns into several bags and placing them in front of Luo Xiangdong, I introduced them one by one: "This is beef and radish, this is pork and green onion, this is fennel, and this is their old-fashioned flavor, stuffed with sauerkraut. "
With that said, I peeled off the disposable chopsticks and handed them to Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Xiangdong reached out to take it, hesitating not knowing which one to eat first.
I said, "Mr. Luo, if you can trust me, try this stuffed pickled cabbage first. It's really delicious."
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he put his chopsticks towards the beef and radish and said, "I don't like sauerkraut."
I pursed my lips, having long been used to the feeling of having hot blood suddenly poured cold water on it.
After Luo Xiangdong took a bite, he nodded lightly, and I immediately resurrected with full health. Like a child in urgent need of praise, I asked aloud: "Is it delicious?"
"not bad."
It's not bad to be able to get the picky Luo Xiangdong to say, "I'll really have to make a banner and send it to this steamed stuffed bun restaurant later on."
I picked up my chopsticks and picked up a pickled cabbage dumpling to eat. The steamed buns were not big, and I could have eaten one. However, because Luo Xiangdong was sitting opposite, I still maintained my ladylike image and took one bite for two.
Eating steamed buns with pickles and drinking soy milk is much more enjoyable than drinking coffee and cake.
I left Luo Xiangdong without leaving a trace, and he also ate a lot, at least more than usual.
When the two of us were enjoying our meal, there was a knock on the door from behind. I felt like I was being raped on the bed. I turned my head and looked around. Because I was nervous, the bun got stuck in my throat, and I was choking. I instinctively stretched out my hand to pinch my neck. .
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me, his eyes full of disgust, put down his chopsticks, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of?"
After that, before I could answer, Luo Xiangdong said again: "Come in."
I really had nowhere to hide, so I could only sit stiffly on the sofa. There was an unclear sound of high heels behind him, because Luo Xiangdong's office was carpeted.
"Mr. Luo, there are several contracts here that need your signature and seal. I also remind you to have dinner with Mr. Lin from Yalin Enterprises at the Aowan Hotel at 7:30 tonight."
I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of my eye. Standing straight two meters away from me, she was Guan Yue in formal attire.
I almost didn't dare to look up, I just lowered my eyes slightly. Wherever I looked, there were all kinds of xiaolongbao and brightly colored pickles.
I don't know what Guan Yue would think of me. I go to Luo Xiangdong's office at a fixed time every day, and my relationship is to have breakfast with Luo Xiangdong.
They say that a person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow. I wonder if my mind is not right now. I always feel that this scene will definitely lead to misunderstandings in the eyes of outsiders.
Luo Xiangdong was sitting on the sofa, looking calm. He replied loudly: "Put the contract on the table. I will sign it in a moment."
Guan Yue put on her high heels and put the contract on Luo Xiangdong's desk. When she came back, she nodded submissively and said, "Mr. Luo, I'll go out first."
Luo Xiangdong hummed.
After Guan Yue went out, Luo Xiangdong turned his attention to me and said, "Liang Zijin, I'm really confused, you still have two faces."
I looked up at Luo Xiangdong, my eyes full of confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and said, "You are completely different whether you drink or not. Looking at your usual frightened look, I really doubt that you were not the one who challenged others yesterday."
It turned out that Luo Xiangdong meant this, so I replied with a slumped face: "How can it be the same? I'm friends with you during off-duty hours, but after all, I'm just your assistant during office hours. Just now, Sister Guan Yue came in and saw me having dinner with you, maybe it's not for sure What is my relationship with you?"
Luo Xiangdong didn't wait for half a second and quickly replied: "You also said that we are friends. From the moment I transferred you upstairs, the entire Luo family knew that you had a special relationship with me. Do you think you are cautious and submissive?" Can you change their minds? Have you thought too much?”
After that, Luo Xiangdong picked up the chopsticks again and continued eating the buns.
I curled up the corners of my lower lips. I had nothing to argue with, so I had no choice but to pick up my chopsticks and pick up another steamed bun stuffed with pickled cabbage to eat.
Relaxing my guard for a moment, I stuffed the whole bun into my mouth and chewed it twice when Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes and said to me: "I'm going to see a client tonight, do you want to go?"
I stared at Luo Xiangdong with wide eyes, wanting to reply, but my mouth was full of food, so I had to cover my mouth with my hand, swallowed it in three gulps, and asked aloud: "Can I go?"
Luo Xiangdong replied casually: "Don't you always say you are bored when you have nothing to do? Then come with me to meet clients at night."
I nodded, feeling happy in my heart: "Okay."
Xiao Long Bao costs 28 yuan per basket, and there are six in each basket. Two flavors can be combined into one basket. I bought two buns with four flavors. I originally wanted Luo Xiangdong to try them all, but I never thought that we would eat all twelve buns.
After eating, Luo Xiangdong picked up the coffee and was about to drink it. I said, "Mr. Luo, have a sip of soy milk. Steamed buns and soy milk are golden partners."
Luo Xiangdong seemed to be deliberately trying to contradict me. He raised his eyebrows slightly and replied loudly: "I like to mix and match, don't I?"
I watched him take a sip of coffee and asked aloud: "Does it taste right?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Do you want to take care of it? When you are full, go out and do things."
I said sarcastically, cleared the table, and turned around to go out.
It wasn't until I went out that I realized I had forgotten to bring my bag, so I quickly turned around and went back without knocking. I just opened the door and went in.
"Mr. Luo, I forgot to take my bag..."
Maybe Luo Xiangdong didn't expect that I would just go out and come back. He was holding a glass of soy milk in one hand and a straw in the other. When he saw me coming in, we both stared at each other.
After a few seconds, I came to my senses, suppressed my laughter, and whispered: "Mr. Luo, you are drinking, I didn't see anything."
With that said, I picked up my bag and walked out.
Luo Xiangdong's voice came from behind: "Next time I don't knock on the door and deduct all your salary."
I left Luo Xiangdong's office and returned to my room. When the door closed, the corners of my lips curled up, and I couldn't help feeling happy in my heart.
Luo Xiangdong likes to eat the buns I bought. I am already thinking about what kind of stuffed buns to buy tomorrow, or simply changing to a different store and buying something else to eat.
It was less than six o'clock in the evening after get off work. Luo Xiangdong and I made an appointment to meet in the underground parking lot. After getting in the car, Luo Xiangdong said to me: "There is still an hour and a half. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
I shook my head and replied honestly: "No."
Luo Xiangdong despised me: "You have been in Night City for so long and you don't have any social contact with yourself?"
I said: "I have been studying in college before and came here after graduation. My family is not from the local area, so it is normal to have no friends, right?"
Luo Xiangdong started the car and said, "Okay, just think that I have done something good, and you can play with me from now on."
It was obviously a good thing, but he said it in his mouth, as if he was pitying me, and I didn't know whether I should say thank you or not.
In the end, Luo Xiangdong took me to the pet care center. I liked this place from the bottom of my heart. It was filled with all the animals I wanted to see.
After arriving, Luo Xiangdong sat on the sofa in the living room and rested, while I followed the clerk to the second floor to pick up king and queen, and take a look at the cats and dogs.
The shop assistants here were very polite to me, and even took the initiative to bring out yesterday’s Scottish Fold cat for me to play with. I took out my phone to take a picture of it, and after taking two pictures, I remembered and asked, “Can I take a picture? "
The clerk smiled and replied: "Normally it's not allowed, but you were brought by Mr. Luo, so it doesn't matter."
I didn't want to break other people's rules, so I quickly put away my phone and said sorry.
After staying at the pet shop until seven o'clock, Luo Xiangdong said, "It's almost time to leave."
I waved to the clerk who had been taking care of me, and then led kingb and queenb out of the store.
After getting in the car, Luo Xiangdong said: "I'll go home and change clothes and take them back with me. You don't need to change clothes for a while, right?"
I subconsciously glanced at the professional suit on my body and asked aloud: "Is it okay for me to wear this?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Whatever, if you don't want to change, just leave it like this."
Luo Xiangdong drove around the pet center and came to Chunqiu Mansion, which is known as the urban garden of sky-high real estate in Night City. It is said that this community covers an area of about 100,000 square meters, but there are only 188 households in total, all high-rise stacked villas. , the green area is comparable to that of a medium-sized forest park. The price per square meter is around 100,000 square meters, the minimum living area is over 160 square meters, and the larger one is over 400 square meters with three floors.
People who can live here are not only a symbol of rich people, but also a reflection of status and strength. Limited housing cannot be bought with money.
I often hear locals in Night City say that even when passing by the Chunqiu Mansion, they feel that it is a castle filled with money. It is a world for the rich. It is separated by a gate. Ordinary people will never be able to set foot in half of it in their lifetime. step.
And I am lucky enough to visit here today through the light of Luo Xiangdong.
