What the hell is this?
It tastes awful.
Huo Chenyu has a strange quirk: he is allergic to bitterness.
In Tang Li's words, someone like him, who grew up in a pampered environment, is incapable of enduring hardship.
Therefore, he must add sugar and milk to his coffee.
He can't stand anything bitter normally.
For example, bitter melon.
He dared not get sick, because all the medicine was bitter.
Three years ago, when he proposed to Tang Li, it was that sentence that touched Tang Li.
I have always loved sweets, yet I have suffered the pain of unrequited love.
Seeing that Huo Chenyu's face was pale, Tang Li asked:
"What's going on? What did you buy for President Huo?"
"Coffee, huh?" Xu Ji feigned ignorance.
"Then what?"
"And then," Xu Ji pretended to ponder, "no sugar, no milk, is that right, boss?"
Goodness.
She clearly said to add sugar and milk.
"Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
Seeing that Tang Li remained silent, Xu Ji continued to play dumb.
Tang Li handed a tissue to Huo Chenyu, pointing to the door and saying:
"Mr. Huo, turn right after exiting the restroom."
If it were just a cup of bitter coffee, that would be fine.
The important thing is that this coffee is actually quite spicy.
It contains 100% wasabi.
After wiping his mouth, Huo Chenyu asked Xu Ji:
"Secretary Xu, have I offended you?"
Xu Ji shook his head:
"No."
Huo Chenyu picked up the cup of coffee and handed it to her: "Then you should try it."
Xu Ji frowned:
"Excuse me, Mr. Huo, I have mysophobia."
What a cleanliness obsession!
Tang Li simply sat down and watched the show with a smile.
After playing dumb, Xu Ji started to act like a big shot: "President Huo, I really do have OCD. Although my family wasn't wealthy when I was young, everything my parents gave me, both materially and spiritually, was clean and tidy."
"Besides, my mother taught me from a young age that I shouldn't touch other people's things and that I shouldn't have my cake and eat it too."
This is blatant irony.
Huo Chenyu finally realized that this little girl was speaking up for her boss.
Xu Ji originally only wanted to give him a cup of bitter coffee.
He liked sweet drinks, so she deliberately made him taste bitter ones.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived, he would be in the office, whispering sweet nothings to his big-star fiancée right in front of his boss, completely disregarding Tang Li, the victim who had been unjustly stigmatized.
So, in a fit of anger, Xu Ji went to the tea room and added some wasabi to his coffee.
The words should be concise and to the point.
Tang Li smoothed things over for them, reaching out to pick up the cup of coffee and saying:
"Perfect, I'm not a germaphobe, I can try it."
Don't drink it.
"no."
The two shouted in unison.
Huo Chenyu reached out to cover Tang Li's mouth: "Don't drink it, there's wasabi in the coffee."
They actually called me out on it to my face.
Xu Ji calmly scratched his head and chuckled:
"Maybe the lady at the coffee shop accidentally used wasabi instead of sugar and milk."
To be able to slip up to this extent is truly impressive.
After giving Huo Chenyu a minor punishment as she wished, Tang Li sent Xu Ji away:
"Secretary Xu, you can go ahead and get back to work."
If not now, when?
After stepping out the door, Xu Ji took two steps back, peeked in, and asked:
"Mr. Huo, would you like me to order you another coffee, the kind with sugar and milk?"
No, no.
I'm scared, I'm scared.
I'm afraid those girls might accidentally drop their fingers.
After the door closed, Tang Li instantly became serious and asked in a very earnest tone:
"Mr. Huo, what brings you here?"
The bitter taste lingered in his mouth, and Huo Chenyu's pale complexion showed no improvement. Tang Li, unable to bear it any longer, took a box of chewing gum from the drawer and handed it to him.
"My secretary is new to the workforce; she's still a child and doesn't know any better. Please forgive her, Mr. Huo."
Okay, I understand.
At twenty-three, you're still a child.
Huo Chenyu didn't mind and was willing to endure this hardship.
This secretary is capable; she's truly willing to go all out when things get tough.
Huo Chenyu felt very gratified. It was good that Tang Li had someone protecting him as soon as he returned.
Returning to the previous question, after replenishing his sugar levels with chewing gum, Huo Chenyu started to joke around:
"I've come to see my rumored girlfriend."
Tang Li reached out his hand:
"Take a look, thirty million."
Without saying a word, Huo Chenyu took out his phone and called Jiang Mian:
"Transfer 30 million to President Tang's account."
Jiang Mian: So many reposts? President Tang? Which President Tang?
This stupid, clueless donkey.
What people fear most is comparison.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
Look at how clever Xu Ji is, and then look at the simpleton next to me.
Huo Chenyu said irritably:
"Transfer 30 million to Madam's account."
Jiang Mian: Oh, it's Madam.
"Boss, isn't 30 million a bit too little?"
Screw you.
You're going to drive me crazy sooner or later.
Huo Chenyu suppressed his anger and said, "If you keep nagging, I'll deduct your bonus for this year."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mian was startled and quickly hung up.
Tang Li smiled and said:
"Friendly reminder, Mr. Huo, there are only six days left until the Spring Festival."
Six days.
That means today is the Little New Year.
Huo Chenyu immediately invited her: "Eat sugarcane on the Little New Year, and the coming year will be prosperous. Come on, I'll take you to eat sugarcane."
Sugarcane isn't necessary, is it?
Right now, she's in the eye of the storm. Tang Li waved her phone, showing him the 30 million she'd just received: "With the visitation fee from President Huo, I could buy up a whole sugarcane plantation, let alone eat sugarcane, right?"
