She wasn't his sister-in-law in the true sense, so it was impossible for her to run over with a bowl of mutton to coax him.
She still has many tasks to do tonight. Her immediate priority is to eat well, find a bed to sleep in, and then get to work.
Right, I've been out all day. I took out my phone and saw that I had three missed calls. Needless to say, they were from Boss Nie. Chen Rou served herself a bowl of mutton soup and a big steamed bun. After asking Brother Ji for directions, she found her dormitory and went inside. While eating, she dialed Boss Nie's number.
Actually, it had only been one day since they last met. Nie Zhao had a social engagement today, but he was in a bad mood halfway through and said goodbye to his guests early. However, he didn't want to go home, so he grabbed a few people at the company for a meeting.
It was already dinnertime, and since the boss wasn't eating, no one dared to go hungry. The boss looked unwell, so no one dared to appear too happy. But then a pleasant ringtone sounded, and Boss Nie's eyebrows shot up: "Hello?"
He got up and went out: "Are you eating?"
Chen Rou was stuffing a steamed bun into her mouth: "The mutton stewed by Captain Chen is super delicious."
In Boss Nie's mind, his wife had already encountered a hundred pirates and killed a hundred and one of them. She must be on the front lines, which made him extremely worried. But when he heard that she was just eating, and that the food was particularly delicious, his mood improved a lot. He was usually a very unpretentious person, but he blurted out, "I'm so worried about you."
Chen Rou couldn't stand Boss Nie's tone the most, because in her mind, it could only happen on TV, in idol dramas, and it should be said by the female lead. When she heard it, she was so shocked that she choked on her steamed bun.
If she hadn't quickly drunk a mouthful of soup, she would have choked to death.
She originally wanted to say, "Boss Nie, you're even more effeminate than a Taiwanese guy," but in front of other men, she lacked the awareness to protect their self-esteem and make them happy. She always had only one goal: whenever she was facing a man, she had to submit to him and make him admire her from the bottom of his heart.
But not in front of Nie Zhao. Perhaps because he had been kneeling from the beginning and had never dared to stand up, Chen Rou had no hostility towards him, nor any desire to conquer him. After chewing the steamed bun, she said, "I miss you so much too."
Regardless of how Mr. Nie reacted, Chen Rou was about to hang up: "I'm busy, let's talk again later."
She had finished all her food, except for the last piece of steamed bun. She carried the bowl out, wiping it with the leftover bun as she walked. Just as she reached the kitchen door and was about to put the bun in her mouth, she looked up and saw Yue Zhongqi wiping a bowl as well.
This is the second time I've met my former boss at the sea sand factory since we parted ways.
Yue Zhongqi picked up a steamed bun, put it in his mouth, and then looked at Chen Rou, only to see her also pick up a steamed bun and put it in her mouth.
Yue Zhongqi raised his rice bowl, which had been polished until it shone, and Chen Rou raised hers as well.
Yue Zhongqi turned to wash the dishes, and Chen Rou followed closely behind.
It's important to know that Yue Zhongqi has always insisted on using the last piece of steamed bun to wipe the bowl before washing it. Even in the same company, not many people share this habit.
He had no idea that Chen Rou had learned all these habits from him. He thought to himself, "Oh no, no wonder Nie Yao said that Miss Chen Rou was possessed by a ghost. It's true. Where did she learn all these things? She's exactly the same as him."
He was both curious and scared, his heart pounding with anxiety.
"Captain Yue, how about we take a few hooligans out for a spin tonight? Do you have time?" said the female ghost, oh no, Chen Rou.
Yue Zhongqi couldn't figure out the reason, but at that moment, joy overwhelmed him, and he was no longer afraid of ghosts. He immediately said, "Great!"
