Chapter 11 Chapter 11 You have nothing else to say to me...
Ning Kai pulled out the chair next to Wen Yu and sat down carelessly. The table seated four, and once he sat down, the whole place immediately became lively. He placed his left hand on the table and his right hand on the chair, using this posture to look at Wen Yu openly.
Wen Yu also turned her head to look at him. There was a leader and a friend of the leader at the table. She was not nervous and introduced herself generously.
Ning Kai smiled at her and said enthusiastically, "I'm the boss. Order whatever you want. It's my treat today."
"No, no, we agreed that I would treat you." Wen Yu said.
Ning Kai then looked at Pan Xianchen: "Are you kidding me? You let a woman treat you?"
Pan Xianchen: "Isn't it possible?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I just don't understand your tastes." Ning Kai said, then asked Wen Yu, "Then should I put them on the menu?"
"good."
He shouted outside the door, and soon a waiter came over with a menu. Wen Yu took the menu, turned it around, faced Pan Xianchen, and pushed it to him across the table.
"You order."
"Anything?"
"Um."
Ning Kai was watching, staring at Pan Xianchen with disdain, "Tsk tsk tsk." Pan Xianchen chased him away: "Are you free? Why don't you leave?"
"Free ass, I'm here to serve you despite my busy schedule." Ning Kai stood up obediently and said to Wen Yu considerately, "Call me if you need anything, I'm free."
Wen Yu smiled and said to Pan Xianchen, "Your friend is really interesting."
Pan Xianchen watched Ning Kai walk out of the private room with a shaky step and said to Wen Yu, "He's married."
"Um?"
"My wife's name is Hu Jingjing, and she's even more interesting than him. I'll introduce her to you next time."
“…”
"I ordered a few. Take a look and see if there's anything else you want to eat."
Wen Yu took the menu and browsed it.
Pan Xianchen's phone rang, and Ning Kai sent him a WeChat message through the private room door.
Hu Jingjing's Big Armor: You can do it! [Thumbs up] [Thumbs up] [Thumbs up]
Hu Jingjing’s big armor: This looks good.
Hu Jingjing's big armor: good figure.
Hu Jingjing’s big armor: How did you find it?
Pan Xianchen: Colleague.
Hu Jingjing's Big Armor: Office romance? So exciting!
Pan Xianchen: I’m sick.
The dishes arrived. Crab meatballs, duck in a gourd with eight treasures, lotus-flavored pearl balls, truffle soba noodles, mango caviar... Each dish was exquisitely presented. The misty matsutake soup was served in a cup with dry ice underneath. The rising steam and the misty dry ice created a collision of fire and ice. The matsutake slices floating in the fragrant chicken broth reminded one of a small boat rocking on an ancient river.
The waiter continued to serve the dishes.
Pan Xianchen asked, "You ordered so much?"
"How much does a meal cost? Your car repair will cost thousands of dollars, right? Just letting me use the meal money to cover it, that's too cheap for me."
"Is that how you settle accounts?"
Pan Xianchen's face fell a little. What she meant was that she wanted to quickly cut off ties with him.
"Besides, these dishes look delicious. I want to try them too." Wen Yu didn't notice Pan Xianchen's expression. Her eyes were shining as she scanned the dishes on the table. She was already hungry. Suddenly, she remembered that there was someone sitting across from her and added, "You can try them too. You're welcome!"
Seeing her eyes sparkling, Pan Xianchen smiled again: "We don't have to order all at once. We can always come back if we can't finish it."
Wen Yu licked his lips, looked at Pan Xianchen for guidance, and said, "Boss Pan, would you like to eat?"
"Let's start eating."
Pan Xianchen picked up a juicy green leaf first, followed by Wen Yu. Wen Yu was absorbed in her meal, devouring the lion's head, gourd duck, and matsutake chicken until her face and lips were rosy.
Pan Xianchen put down his chopsticks and observed her, then said, "Do you like meat?"
"Yeah." Wen Yu nodded, still holding a duck leg in her mouth. Noticing that Pan Xianchen had long been sitting still, she swallowed the duck meat and asked, "Are you full?"
Pan Xianchen answered irrelevantly: "Take your time to eat."
Wen Yu looked down at the dishes. There was still a lot left. He had indeed ordered too much. He would pack it up after paying the bill. He couldn't let it go to waste.
The air conditioning in the private room whirred, making the tiny strands of hair along Wen Yu's hairline sway, reminiscent of an old village, a small river bend, and a reed marsh. The reeds also swayed in this way, creating a charming and charming scene.
Pan Xianchen thought of the barbecue restaurants he'd visited on business trips. Wen Yu had also eaten with such relish, feasting on such rich dishes, her lips swollen and red with oil. Pan Xianchen glanced at Wen Yu's lips and smiled, like the plump crystal shrimp dumplings on the table.
He was curious about how Wen Yu managed to maintain her figure despite eating so much. She was obviously very thin. He hugged her like a soft silk quilt, and it didn't take much effort.
The women Pan Xianchen knew well didn't eat much. His mother only ate a fistful of rice every day, and no matter how delicious the food was, she would only take a few bites. Yan Qianqian was always clamoring to lose weight, and she was extremely picky about food, refusing to eat this or that...
Wen Yu ate the most relishingly, his cheeks bulging and chewing the food with his mouth, just like the orchid fish he kept in the water tank.
He loved watching her eat.
Wen Yu: “…”
Why did she have a feeling that she might actually be a pig?
"Boss Pan, we agreed to treat you, and you didn't eat much, so I ate it all..."
"Is it tasty?"
"……tasty."
"The rice wine here is also very fragrant, but your foot is injured, and I'm driving, so you can't drink it." Pan Xianchen asked, "Can you drink?"
"Can you drink less?"
"How about I ask Ning Kai to warm up a pot for you, and you can take it back and try a little?"
Pan Xianchen stood up and walked out.
Wen Yu suddenly thought of something and hurried out, shouting to Pan Xianchen and Ning Kai who were gathered around the cashier, "I'll pay, I'll pay!"
The two men looked at a disabled but strong-willed woman walking towards them with a cane, one higher than the other.
Ning Kai whispered to Pan Xianchen, "I didn't even notice it just now, why are you limping?"
Pan Xianchen whispered, "I accidentally got hurt."
"You did it?"
"no."
"Who did it?"
"You talk too much nonsense."
"Dad, doesn't this concern you?"
"……roll."
Wen Yu moved to the cashier counter, and Ning Kai said with a smile: "Don't walk so fast, your feet."
"How much is it in total?"
Ning Kai glanced at Pan Xianchen, still smiling: "Why are you rushing to pay? Pan Xianchen came here to order rice wine, not to help you pay."
Yeah?
Wen Yu looked at Pan Xianchen, who was leaning against the cash register with a calm expression and no words.
Wen Yu: "Then I need some takeout boxes."
Ning Kai looked at Pan Xianchen and asked, "Leaving so soon?"
Pan Xianchen said, "Then let's pay the bill."
Wen Yu paid more than three hundred yuan for so many dishes, most of which were meat. She didn't know how much discount Ning Kai gave her.
Pan Xianchen and Wen Yu walked out of the door one after another. Ning Kai sent him a WeChat message: I’m happy for you in vain, she is not interested in you at all!
Pan Xianchen:?
Hu Jingjing's Big Armor: rushing to pay and leaving in a hurry.
Hu Jingjing's big armor: You have no chance.
Pan Xianchen ignored him and walked forward as fast as the wind.
Wen Yu limped and couldn't keep up, and watched from afar as Pan Xianchen got into the car alone.
He is angry.
Pan Xianchen's headlights blazed brightly, causing Wen Yu to squint. She took two steps with her cane and then stopped, fiddling with her phone.
Pan Xianchen stared at her direction and waited for a few seconds, or maybe minutes, he couldn't estimate. He just felt that she was so slow and why wasn't she coming over yet.
Later he couldn't wait any longer and drove the car right to her feet.
Pan Xianchen deliberately turned the passenger side towards her, as if he was back a few hours ago when he was blocking the non-motorized vehicle lane and asked her to get in the car.
"Do you want me to help you get in the car?" He looked out the window and said to her expressionlessly.
"No need." Wen Yu raised her phone and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pan, for recommending the restaurant. The food is delicious. I took a taxi and will be there in two minutes. I'm sorry to bother you today, Mr. Pan. Goodbye!"
“…”
Pan Xianchen pursed his lips in anger. Okay, she's really good.
Pan Xianchen slammed on the accelerator, and the Maybach shot out of the bamboo fence. It screeched to a stop, and he parked the car at the corner next to the fence, slamming his foot firmly on the brakes.
The car automatically connected to Bluetooth and played the light music that had just been paused. He didn't want to listen and suddenly cut it off.
In the quiet night, the sound of a car suddenly came. He saw a taxi coming as scheduled, and then drove away with Wen Yu.
Pan Xianchen put his left hand on the steering wheel and played the piano. Five minutes later, he slowly started the car and left.
After Wen Yu started using crutches, her colleagues in the office took care of her. Any errands she needed to run were handled by other colleagues, and Peng Yan had someone else take care of her when she went out.
In the afternoon, Peng Yan brought people back and said to Wen Yu, "Come to the reception room."
Wen Yu walked slowly, and even Peng Yan walked slowly with her support.
"Thank you, Sister Yan."
"You're welcome," Peng Yan said. "Get well soon, and I'll take you out for errands. You're the most useful person in the whole office."
“…”
"I was complimenting you."
"...Oh, then thank you, Sister Yan?"
Peng Yan smiled and pushed open the door to the reception room. The man sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and greeted them, "Hello, leaders."
Wen Yu was stunned. Wasn't this the man who'd grabbed her hand in the market? Wen Yu remembered it clearly: a burly man with brute strength, who'd gripped her wrist until it turned red. Later, she was crushed to the ground by the crowd. She looked up and saw the man's chin, his entire body slumped there like a giant water tower from a waterworks.
Dashuita saw her feet and rushed over to help her. Peng Yan blocked Wen Yu's way, and Dashuita explained, "Boss, I didn't mean to touch you."
Peng Yan said, "You sit down first, I'll help you."
The three of them sat down on the sofa as if in a three-way meeting. Da Shuita said, "I'm here to apologize. I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to have a quarrel and hurt the leader."
Wen Yu said: "I am not a leader."
"I don't know how to call you, but you are in charge of us, so you are the leaders." Dashuita looked very reasonable, completely different from when they were arguing.
Peng Yan asked, "Have you figured out the situation? Did the other party try to lower the price maliciously?"
"I figured it out, I figured it out. I didn't realize those were the last goods she had and she wanted to get rid of them quickly and at a low price. The prices of the goods after that are normal, about the same as ours."
"So, are you too impulsive? Arguing and fighting all the time is not a good influence."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault."
"And you spread rumors about the leader's relatives and mistresses. Were you the one who spread them?"
Big Water Tower scratched his face in shame and said awkwardly, "I just cursed casually during the quarrel. Who knew those gossips would believe it and spread it around."
"Are you blaming the person who heard it? How can you say such things casually?"
"I was wrong. I won't say that again!" Dashuita said. "Boss Pan is a good leader. He was so busy accompanying the city leaders that day, yet he came to explain things to me in person. We talked it out right away... He even told me specifically that he was coming to apologize to me."
The big water tower turned his eyes and looked at Wen Yu.
"I'm so sorry, I was so angry and lost control of my temper that you sprained your ankle. Have you seen a doctor? How much is the medical bill? I'll pay for it."
Wen Yu said, "Forget it. It's just a small registration fee. I've already reported it as a work injury."
"I have cordyceps and ginseng at home. I'll get them for you. Do you want to take some supplements?"
"No."
Dashuita looked at Wen Yu in embarrassment: "This... Mr. Pan said that I must ask for your forgiveness."
…
Peng Yan told Wen Yu to stay put while she walked the water tank out. Back in the reception room, Wen Yu was collecting disposable paper cups. Peng Yan helped her and said, "Mr. Pan is very thorough and has taken care of every aspect."
Wen Yu nodded, thinking of Pan Xianchen's face: serious, with sharp eyes, holding her tightly and walking quickly; gentle, with bright eyes and thin brows, eating a table of meat with her.
Through the bright glass door, Wen Yu saw Pan Xianchen working at his desk, wearing his black half-frame glasses again.
Wen Yu knocked on the door and walked in.
Pan Xianchen glanced at her, then lowered his head again. She handed a document to his desk, but he didn't respond.
"Mr. Pan." she reminded.
Pan Xianchen went about his business. After a while, without even looking up, he said, "I understand. I'll see later."
Before she left, Pan Xianchen looked up at her and asked, "Anything else?"
"The merchant in the market came to apologize to me."
"Um."
"He said you asked for it—thank you."
“…”
Pan Xianchen lowered his head again, clearly not wanting to pay attention to her. Wen Yu pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Pan Xianchen put the cap back on his pen and snapped it down. "Thank you, and I'm sorry. You don't have anything else to say to me besides this."
