Chapter 44 Ice Cream Motivation
“…”
After looking around, Jian Mo pouted and shook her head. She was drunk. This guy was really boring. It would be fine if he didn't eat sweets, but there were very few things he liked to eat. It seemed that food was only for filling his stomach.
"Look at what I'm doing."
"I'm sorry about your life." She looked hopeless.
"Don't you like Sichuan cuisine? Let's make this." Huo Qi Chen said lightly and took out a bag of hot pot base from the shelf.
Jian Mo's eyes lit up, completely unaware of the sarcasm, "So you can handle spicy food? Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is my specialty."
Before Huo Qi Chen could continue to mock her, she had already run a long way away and was enthusiastically selecting ingredients. She took the food without blinking when someone paid for it.
Soon, the entire cart was filled with food.
"If Ju's mother sees this, she will probably think we have a pig at home." Huo Qi Chen raised his eyebrows.
Jian Mo was furious and picked up a long eggplant from the vegetable section. "If you say that again, I'll make you a dish of fish-flavored eggplant and force you to eat it."
Huo Qi Chen actually frowned and didn't even want to look at the eggplant.
Jian Mo burst into laughter. "I'm dying of laughter. It's hard to imagine that Mr. Huo is afraid of something."
Her exaggerated laughter attracted the attention of passersby. Huo Qichen felt embarrassed and reached out to cover her mouth, warning her in her ear: "Stop laughing!"
Jian Mo twitched in Huo Qichen's arms, her warm lips pressed against his palm, feeling a little itchy, a little hot, and a little distracted.
Realizing this, Huo Qi Chen loosened his grip and quickly let go of her. However, Xin Yuanyi Ma herself was completely unaware that anything was wrong and ran excitedly to the ice cream section to start choosing carefully.
She really loves sweets.
However, the price was still high. Jian Mo spent a long time choosing but ultimately did not put anything in the cart.
She forced a smile, "Come on, we can go check out."
Huo Qichen just stood aside and looked at her for a long time, "Why don't you take it?"
Jian Mo took a deep breath and said helplessly, "It's too expensive. I'll buy it when I get rich!"
In fact, Jian Mo had been to this shopping mall before. At that time, she was under great pressure from life and work, and she always wanted to buy a box of ice cream to reward herself. However, every time she saw the price, she was discouraged.
She had herself and Jane's father to support, so she really didn't dare to squander money.
Huo Qi Chen frowned, opened the freezer, and picked up the ice cream she had just seen, a small box for two hundred and eighty yuan.
He paused slightly, took five boxes, and put them in the cart. "I'll pay."
No room for rejection.
Jian Mo was startled and quickly declined, "No, no, I know you may feel a little sympathetic towards me, but I really don't need it. I want to buy it after I become successful on my own, not with your charity."
Huo Qi Chen just watched her hold his wrist tightly. Her hand was so small that she couldn't even hold his whole hand.
After she finished speaking, he spoke, "Here are five flavors. I've put them in the refrigerator at home. For every thing you accomplish that benefits the Huo family, I'll reward you with a box. This includes but is not limited to winning awards for your designs and negotiating partnerships."
Jian Mo opened his eyes in disbelief. He was going to supervise the pace of his own work.
"Boss Huo, I have to say, you really know how to motivate your employees!!!"
“I don’t motivate every employee.”
When I walked out of the mall, it was already evening. The sun had set and the colorful sunset filled the sky, casting a gentle barrier over the city.
Jian Mo stood against the light and couldn't see Huo Qichen's face clearly. The sunset glow dyed his hair golden.
