When you push open the door of the public restaurant, you are greeted by the tempting aroma of food.

Dozens of employees were enjoying an exceptionally sumptuous breakfast with great enthusiasm.

Steam is rising from Chinese snacks, and Western pastries are exquisitely presented on the plates.

The most exaggerated thing is the pot of bubbling seafood shrimp and crab porridge, with plump crab legs and fresh shrimps faintly visible in the thick porridge.

Dozens of iced American coffees and milk teas were neatly stacked next to them, and the condensed water droplets on the walls of the cups sparkled in the morning light.

"Where... did this come from?"

Xia Zhining opened her eyes wide in surprise.

With shrimp dumplings stuffed in his mouth, zookeeper Yi Chen mumbled, "Director Xiao Xia, this is really too generous!"

The other staff members also looked up: "Director Xia, thank you for your expense!"

"Following you is a blessing!"

Xia Zhining was about to explain when she was suddenly covered by a tall shadow.

Gu Huaiye placed his big, broad hand on her shoulder and pressed her down on the seat without a chance to refuse.

"You're running around without eating breakfast again."

Gu Huaiye's voice was filled with unquestionable strength as he gestured to his secretary to bring the specially prepared breakfast. "No wonder you always have low blood sugar."

The secretary immediately presented the sizzling pan-fried foie gras, paired with black truffle scrambled eggs and vegetable and fruit juice.

Gu Huaiye pushed the fish maw and chicken soup that had been simmered for an hour in front of Xia Zhining and said, "Drink the soup first."

Xia Zhining was almost dizzy from the fragrance, and she was furiously thinking: Is this the joy of being with the living God of Wealth?!

She immediately understood that this breakfast that looked like a full banquet was definitely the work of Gu Huaiye!

"Boss Gu~" Xia Zhining's eyes smiled into two small crescents, and her voice was as sweet and flattering as it could be. "This is too expensive!"

Gu Huaiye adjusted his cufflinks expressionlessly: "Don't be so self-indulgent."

"Secretary Jiang accidentally pressed an extra zero when ordering."

Secretary Jiang was confused, but nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhining almost choked on the chicken soup: My damn hand slipped!

What does it mean to have dozens more breakfasts?!

"If you stay still any longer, the soup will get cold."

Mr. Gu glanced at her with a noble and cold look.

Xia Zhining immediately started eating seriously. She ate very politely but very quickly.

Gu Huaiye frowned slightly: "Why are you eating so hastily? No one is competing with you for it."

Xia Zhining slowed down after hearing this.

She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, it's a habit I developed when I was little, and I can't change it."

Gu Huaiye paused, and suddenly remembered the information Secretary Jiang handed over, which stated that the Xia family stipulated that Xia Zhining could only eat for ten minutes at each meal.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he turned his head away to look out the window, his voice deliberately cold: "...If you choke, there will be no one to treat you on Dark Star."

"You'd better stay alive," Gu Huaiye said coldly, loosening his tie with his slender fingers. "After all, you are now fully responsible for Dark Star."

"Woof!" Dark Star immediately pricked up his ears, raised his two furry front paws high, nodded madly in agreement, and slapped his tail on the ground.

Xia Zhining blinked in surprise, her eyelashes fluttering like a small fan: "Huh? Didn't Mr. Gu say he wouldn't cooperate with me?"

Gu Huaiye snorted coldly and glanced at Secretary Jiang: "I was threatened by a dog. Is this a good enough excuse?"

Secretary Jiang immediately understood and respectfully handed over the contract and pen that had been prepared long ago, with a knowing smile flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

"Miss Xia, please take a look."

Xia Zhining opened the contract and read it carefully.

All those unreasonable terms about 24-hour standby that Gu Huaiye mentioned before are gone.

Instead, there are some very strange terms!
