Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Mr. Si, take your medicine
Si Yizhi's reaction made Shao Jiayan speechless. He opened his big innocent eyes and said honestly, "Boss Si, I just went downstairs to pick up the food as you instructed... I definitely didn't bring anything strange with me!"
Don't be fooled by his obedient appearance, he was actually whining in his heart, "Damn capitalists, do you have money to spend? There are so many cheap and good restaurants near the company, why did you order medicinal food instead! This stuff is so delicious that I'll vomit as soon as I open the bag. I had to resist the urge to vomit before I could open everything!"
Holding his breath, Si Yizhi went forward to check the "dishes" on the table, then pointed at the bowl of black, greasy soup and said, "Where is the packaging bag of this thing?"
Shao Jiayan didn't understand why and took out a disposable plastic bag from the packing bag he had thrown aside.
This bag is very similar to the Lanzhou ramen he used to eat for breakfast. It is specially used by takeaway ramen restaurants to hold noodle soup.
However, when he handed the bag over, Shao Jiayan noticed a line of small words on the back of the bag: Chinese medicine is hot, please be careful when drinking!
"You put my Chinese medicine in the soup bowl. Are you going to drink it with me?" Si Yizhi was so angry that he laughed.
The problem of the stomach is more about nurturing, not curing. Si Yizhi ordered a set meal of medicinal food from Mingshantang, and also boiled some Chinese medicine from their house and sent it over. But who would have thought that the smell of the Chinese medicine would be so overbearing, and the assistant Niu Ma, who he hired at a high price, was so "capable" that he directly opened the bag of Chinese medicine and poured it into the soup bowl, making this indescribable smell echo in the lounge.
The sour and refreshing taste made Si Yizhi feel a little bit like he was about to collapse.
Shao Jiayan, who finally realized that he had done something wrong, swallowed awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Si..." He held the bag of Chinese medicine in one hand and gestured at the soup bowl.
After making sure that there was no way to pour the Chinese medicine back, Shao Jiayan could only apologize with a sad face, "Why don't you just make do with it? Drink the medicine while it's hot?"
There is also a line of small words on the Chinese medicine bag: In order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, it needs to be consumed while hot.
Seeing that Mr. Si had a stern face and was unmoved, Shao Jiayan was worried that if he delayed any further, the Chinese medicine would become cold and not only harder to drink, but also affect the efficacy of the medicine~
[Oh my god, why doesn't Mr. Si drink it? Isn't he afraid of bitterness? ]
[It’s all because of this Chinese medicine! The packaging looks like Lanzhou ramen soup, I thought it was a soup. Woohoo~ If it gets cold and affects the efficacy of the medicine, the dead capitalists won’t let me pay for it, right? I heard that Mingshantang is super expensive, my thin Huabei wallet can’t withstand this kind of destruction! ]
I saw Si Yizhi still staring at me with an indescribable expression.
Shao Jiayan closed his eyes and thought about his remaining Huabei credit limit. He gritted his teeth and took the bowl of steaming black-gray liquid to Mr. Si, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Si, take the medicine."
As the area of Chinese medicine in contact with the air increases, the smell it emits also increases.
Si Yizhi sighed, took the bowl of soup offered by the other party with both hands, took a deep breath and drank it... Fortunately, although this thing smells disgusting, the taste is just like mellow boiled water when it goes in the mouth and is not too unacceptable.
Neither of them suffered much from taking the medicine, but the smell of the medicine that had already dissipated into the air did not dissipate so quickly.
The manager suggested that he open the window of the lounge to let the smell out.
The worker who accidentally caused trouble felt extremely guilty and apologized repeatedly.
Si Yizhi waved his hand expressionlessly, already beginning to doubt whether he had been ill-considered in hastily transferring this little calf to his side as an assistant.
In fact, he had looked at Shao Jiayan's work history before transferring him to another position.
Shao Jiayan joined the company through campus recruitment. He had excellent grades in school, rich social practice experience and beautiful mentor recommendations. After joining the company, Shao Jiayan was also conscientious and responsible in his position. He was the best of the best in the department. Whether in code technology or overtime hours, he was the best in his team.
Si Yizhi initially thought that being his own personal assistant would definitely be easier and simpler than writing code, but the reality was far from satisfactory.
Just when he was thinking about whether to transfer Shao Jiayan back, he heard the other party complaining in his heart.
[Boss Si's look is so scary, is he going to fire me? ]
[Oh my god, if Mr. Si doesn't want me anymore, what will I do with my rent and Huabei next month! ]
Hearing the other party's worried voice, Si Yizhi softened his heart. After all, the salary he offered Shao Jiayan was much higher than before.
It was also his fault for bringing Shao Jiayan to a position that was not suitable for him. Si Yizhi decided to give him another chance, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Be more careful in the future. These are just small things. Do you still need someone to teach you?"
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, and considering that he would still be able to use him in the future, Si Yizhi decided to maintain his image as a good boss, "Okay, let's eat first. Don't look so sad. It's just a small mistake. Can't you bear this little pressure?"
But the other person said obediently "I will pay attention next time", but in his heart he was wailing [If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to bear the pressure? I can't even bear the pressure of BE's novel, otherwise why would I read this kind of toilet reading material and end up working for a villain like you! ]
Well, my words were in vain.
Si Yizhi was almost pissed off by him, so he simply ignored him and urged him to eat quickly so as not to delay his afternoon work.
Shao Jiayan originally wanted to remind him that chewing slowly is good for digestion, but looking at the other person's Sima face, he was too embarrassed to speak.
The two of them had a silent meal with different thoughts. It must be said that although the Chinese medicine of the charity hall can be called a biological weapon, the medicinal food of this family looks ordinary, but it tastes unique. Especially for a little kid like Shao Jiayan who has never seen the world, he eats with relish.
Under his influence, Si Yizhi, who originally had no appetite, unknowingly ate a lot more than usual.
When he was eating with Shao Jiayan before, he found that the little calf ate very sweetly, but the food he ate was too terrible for Si Yizhi, so he was very resistant. But today, the two of them ate the same food, and in this situation where they were not affected by synaesthesia at all, Si Yizhi suddenly felt that it was actually quite nice to have someone to eat with him...
The fruit after the meal was fresh cherries.
The big black red fruit looked so delicious that Shao Jiayan couldn't bear to buy such expensive fruit. He had only eaten a few cherries at the company's annual meeting before. At that time, he was amazed by cherries! Later, when he finally saved money to buy some cherries at the fruit store to reward himself, he was discouraged by the price of 49.9 per kilogram.
But the size of the box of cherries in front of me doesn’t look like something that 49.9 yuan can afford.
"Eat some fruit." Listening to Assistant Niu Ma's poor voice, Si Yizhi couldn't help but think of the years when he was poor and destitute in Germany.
In fact, outsiders may think he is very successful now, but Si Yizhi knows that he still has a long way to go to achieve complete financial freedom. However, for him now, it is no problem to achieve cherry freedom.
"Thank you, Mr. Si." Shao Jiayan carefully took one and put it into his mouth.
The crisp texture and sweet and sour taste made him squint his eyes in joy.
Perhaps infected by his emotions, Si Yizhi took two from the lunch box and stuffed the rest to Assistant Niu Ma.
"They are all yours, take them back and eat them."
Shao Jiayan wanted to be polite, but he heard Mr. Si continue, "Go downstairs and make me a cup of coffee. I don't drink instant coffee without milk and sugar."
Noticing the other person's eyes gradually becoming dull, Si Yizhi added, "If you don't know how to do it, go ask Ai Si. She has a lot of experience in hand-grinding coffee."
In fact, to be fair, if we put aside the reasons of empathy and voice of the heart, Si Yizhi still likes employees like Shao Jiayan.
It was just that his upbringing and work experience made it understandable that he could not do well in the position of the president's assistant for a while. Si Yizhi only hoped that he could adapt to the new position as soon as possible and stop holding him back.
He just received news this morning that the old man of the Si family, who is also the grandfather of the two brothers, is in a worsening condition and may not have much time left.
Although their father Si Rong is the current nominal head of Si's company, everyone knows that he is only acting as chairman after the old man's health has deteriorated. When Si Rong and Si Yizhi's mother divorced, the old man said that the company would never be left to this irresponsible son, but only to his grandson.
But the problem is that when Mr. Si said this, he only had one grandson, but now he has two.
As an "abandoned child" who has not even been back to Beijing twice since graduating and returning to China, many people in Beijing circles don't know the existence of Si Yizhi. If he wants to fight for the Si family's property, it will be as difficult as starting a new business.
Even Si Yiran never took this eldest brother who was exiled from the family seriously, and had no intention of keeping family matters secret. A child without a biological mother and hated by his biological father could not take a single step in the Si family.
Si Yiran, who had started working at Si's company early on, could even use the Si family's money to buy a resume for his sweetheart at Si Yizhi's company. But now Si Yizhi even has trouble going back to the Si family.
Shao Jiayan spent the entire afternoon trying to learn how to use the coffee machine.
Although there are many things to pay attention to when making hand-ground coffee, fortunately his boss is a very simple and pragmatic person. He does not pursue the taste or flavor, but only the effect of refreshing the mind. However, Shao Jiayan was still very serious when learning from Sister Ai Si.
After all, no matter how your coffee tastes, you are the one who tastes it in the end:)
After several hours of repeated practice, Shao Jiayan finally mastered the skill and presented Mr. Si with a cup of his very satisfactory creation.
Shao Jiayan spent the rest of the afternoon choosing a place to dine in the evening. After repeated comparisons on various platforms, he finally chose the Haoting Business Club, which is not far from the company, as the venue for the evening banquet. The club has good reviews for its food and beverage, good privacy, and a dedicated conference room, making it a good place to discuss matters and sign contracts.
After doing all this, Shao Jiayan confidently went to the club half an hour early to make all the arrangements.
Just as he finished making arrangements, he met the protagonist Si Yiran who arrived earlier.
However, the protagonist looked at him with an unfriendly look, "Why hasn't Si Yizhi fired you yet?"
