Chapter 31 What are you doing under the guise of a dinner party? (Happy New Year, my dears)

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Yan hurried back home.

After greeting his brother, Li Yan took off his coat, glanced around, and saw a familiar shopping bag.

His expression froze for a moment, and he asked, "Brother, this is... the one I gave back to Director Mo before?"

"Yes, he came to the coffee shop today and brought this with him." Li Nuo answered while tidying up his closet.

Li Yan's face darkened instantly, "He came to the coffee shop?"

"Yes," Li Nuo looked at his expression but didn't mention that she had dinner and chatted with him.

I feel like my face will get worse if I say it out loud.

Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I came here anyway."

I had been thinking about guarding against him before, and it happened that Mo Chuan was on a business trip for overseas affairs; Qin Xu was also quiet after the MLM company incident due to being busy with other things, so I took this opportunity to block all contact information between the two.

As a result, I went there the next day after I came back from overseas.

"What the hell... that bastard."

..........

The next day, Yuesen Group.

Qin Xu's office.

He was on the phone with Fang Che regarding the follow-up handling of the MLM company.

"So, it's all taken care of?"

"Yes," Fang Che's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I have also given the evidence to the police. I believe they will be able to handle it."

While talking to Fang Che, Qin Xu, who was extremely busy, thought of Li Nuo.

I'm really at a loss for words as to what he did when he said he was thirsty and went to buy mineral water.

If it were the old Li Nuo, he would have wanted to drag me into his house a long time ago.

After losing his memory, his personality has really become much more interesting.

Fang Che's voice on the phone interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah, one more thing. After Director Mo came back yesterday, he went to a coffee shop."

"Coffee shop?"

"Yes, it's where Linuo works now."

Qin Xu stopped flipping through the documents.

It just so happens that the recent busy work has ended and I just want to take a break.

“Send me the address of that coffee shop.”

At noon, Secretary Yang stretched his back and said, "I'll go eat first today."

Someone had to stay in the office, and Qin Xu couldn't stay, so Secretary Yang and Li Yan took turns.

Just as he was about to go out, Qin Xu came out from inside.

"Let's have dinner together today."

"ha?"

"We've almost finished our work, so let's have a meal together." Qin Xu said and headed for the parking lot.

Secretary Yang and Li Yan looked at each other. They had no choice but to follow.

After all, the boss has spoken.

Generally speaking, company or department dinners are held in the evening, but Qin Xu chose noon.

Because he didn't want to see Secretary Yang's resentful face after get off work.

This is perfect for Secretary Yang, as he believes having dinner after get off work is also overtime.

Secretary Yang is very happy now. He has been very busy recently. Not only does he have to do his job well, but he also has to help deal with the matters at hand of Fang Che.

My bonus is still there, I can’t just ignore it.

As he took the elevator downstairs, he was already thinking about all kinds of delicious food. Since the boss had asked, it wouldn't be too much to eat something good.

Qin Xu was not in the same elevator as them, so Secretary Yang asked Li Yan directly.

"Do you know where to eat?"

Li Yan gave him a strange look, "Where else can we go? Jingyi Pavilion."

"Again! Are you not tired of eating?"

He suddenly lost his temper and his shoulders slumped.

Although the food at Jing Yi Pavilion tastes good, I'm probably tired of it after going there so many times.

"Every time other departments have a dinner together, they always have something new, but for the two of us, we always have a family. Oh——"

"Can't we just go eat some barbecue or some Western food?"

Li Yan listened to Secretary Yang's complaints in silence.

We drove to Jingyi Pavilion and while we were having dinner, Secretary Yang was also sighing.

Qin Xu, who was naturally taciturn, didn't like to talk while eating, and occasionally only Li Yan would pay attention to Secretary Yang.

After leaving Jingyi Pavilion, Secretary Yang asked, "Are we going back to the company directly now?"

"No, I have somewhere to go." Qin Xu raised his watch and looked at the time. It was past twelve o'clock.

Secretary Yang and Li Yan looked at each other in bewilderment. If Qin Xu had a plan to go out today, how come they didn't know about it?

"I'll go with the director."

Secretary Yang gave Li Yan a thumbs up and said, "Then I'll go back to the company first."

Qin Xu's cold words stopped him from moving, "Have you forgotten that this is a dinner party? You are coming too."

".......yes."

The three of them got in the car together, and Li Yan entered the address Qin Xu gave him in the navigation.

When I was halfway through losing, I remembered that this is where my brother works.

He felt a little reluctant. His brother was already busy enough at work, so why did Director Qin want to go over?

"It's lunch time now, there's a lot of traffic on the road, this coffee shop is a bit far, there's no need to go."

But Qin Xu was determined to leave.

“They said the coffee there was good.”

"When did you start drinking coffee?" Li Yan asked coldly.

“Starting today.”

Frustrated, Li Yan had no choice but to drive to the coffee shop. Secretary Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a murderous aura on his face, silently tightened his seat belt.

Even though it is noon, Linuo is very busy.

There are more and more customers these days. Since many people don't like drinking coffee, the manager has also wholesaled a lot of drinks. In addition, the coffee shop also sells desserts, so all the employees are very busy.

Even Li Nuo had to play the role of a cashier. At this moment, he was standing behind the order counter, facing the customers with a smile.

Because people often ask about the different flavors of the drinks, there is a queue.

It's fine to just ask for recommendations, but there are always people who ask irrelevant questions.

"Are you a star? Are you filming some variety show?"

"no."

"Why don't you become a star? I think you will be famous."

"For personal reasons, I am not suitable to be a star. Okay, please let the next customer take the order. We have been waiting for a long time."

The customer grumbled and went aside to wait for his order. Li Nuo put on a smile and served the next customer.

After receiving several customers, Linuo lowered his head to organize the orders in his hands and waited for the next customer.

Looking up, his eyes widened slightly.

"Li Yan!"

Linuo didn't expect to see his younger brother here, and he suddenly smiled brightly.

"What brings you here?"

"It's a departmental dinner, so I came here."

"Dinner?"

Li Nuo looked behind him and saw Qin Xu, a big guy who was hard to ignore, and another person he didn't recognize.

"Hello, Director." Li Nuo also greeted Qin Xu with a smile, and also greeted Secretary Yang.

It has to be said that this job is very training. Now he is not afraid when he sees Qin Xu, but can look at him directly.

"Um."

Qin Xu saw Li Nuo, who had been avoiding his sight, now looking straight at him, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"It looks like it's working smoothly."

Li Nuo nodded. "Work is really a training exercise, in many ways. But is it just the three of you?"

"Yes. But I won't disturb you from working. Let's have three cups of the most popular coffee first."

"Okay." Li Nuo smiled, "Please find a seat and sit down first."

Secretary Yang grabbed a seat and the three of them sat down.

He looked at Linuo and marveled.

"You said you had lost your memory. Now it seems you are really different."

Secretary Yang had seen Li Nuo before. He was gloomy and a little neurotic. He was very unfriendly to Li Yan, which was completely different from the warm feeling he had now.

"Can amnesia really change a person like that?"

"I don't know, because this is my first time encountering it too." Li Yan replied.

"Indeed, I've only seen it on TV shows and stuff, but I've never encountered it in real life."

Secretary Yang looked at Li Nuo with an interesting look and greeted every guest with a patient smile.

"It's true that she's suitable to be an artist or something like that."

Li Yan frowned, "My brother's body can't adapt to such high-intensity work."

In fact, both brothers had received invitations from talent scouts, but neither of them had ever thought about entering the entertainment industry.

Li Yan thought that if he became a star, he would be able to pay off his debts quickly.

But I don’t want to be separated from Li Nuo. If I become a star, I will definitely have a lot of announcements, and I won’t be able to take care of Li Nuo at all, so I haven’t considered this.

But if Li Nuo said he wanted to be a star, he would probably take the agent exam.

"Why? To be honest, you both look very good. Even without dressing up, you are already so eye-catching. You will definitely be popular. Think about it. The salary is much higher than being a secretary."

“I like it now.”

"What's good about being a corporate slave? Ah, Director, I'm not saying that you're bad, although I do have that thought in my mind, but only a little bit." Secretary Yang gestured with his fingers.

Facing Qin Xu's direct gaze, Secretary Yang smiled awkwardly.

"I'm just asking..."

"Shut up."

"Okay." Secretary Yang readily agreed, but when Qin Xu looked away, he moved closer to Li Yan and whispered in his ear, "You can really consider what happened just now. At least paying off the debt is no problem."

Secretary Yang was really bold. Even under Qin Xu's fierce gaze, he said whatever he wanted, especially when asking for a bonus.

I heard that the director and I were college classmates and met each other when we were studying abroad.

But none of these things matter.

Li Yan turned his head and looked at Li Nuo who was working seriously.

I have never smiled so brightly before.

“But, you laugh too much.”

Li Yan's eyes narrowed. Did that person deliberately touch his brother's hand when he took the receipt?

There are more than one, most of them are sneaky, the receipt is so long, they won’t touch it at all!

There was murderous intent in his eyes, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure.

"You're here after all." Li Nuo had just finished paying for the last order, looked up, and said helplessly to the customer in front of him, "Are you really not busy?"

Mo Chuan looked at him with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that the work is done?"

"By the way," Mo Chuan raised his left hand, which had been hanging down, and held a bouquet of flowers in front of Li Nuo, "This is for you."

It wasn’t a very big bouquet, a very refreshing combination of pink and orange. Li Nuo didn’t know much about flowers and could only recognize one of them was a pink rose.

"Is this gift acceptable? It's not expensive at all," Mo Chuan pushed the bouquet forward a little further, "It will look nice when you put it in a vase when you get home."

Li Nuo was speechless and had no choice but to accept the bouquet. "Thank you, I like it very much."

This is true, the bouquets are beautifully matched.

He pointed to the back and said, "There's someone I know there."

Mo Chuan turned around and smiled even more happily, "Why are they here?"

The three people sitting there also held the same idea.

Secretary Yang asked in surprise: "Why is Director Mo here?"

Then I thought that Mo Chuan was a strange person, so it was normal for him to go to a coffee shop that was not in the same neighborhood as the company.

Director Qin was even more puzzled by what he said. He obviously didn't drink coffee, but he came to this store. He obviously had to work at noon, but he took a rare break.

Furthermore, every move of Li Nuo was under the control of Fang Che.

Hiss——I can’t think too much about it.

Secretary Yang knew about this, but Li Yan didn't.

He actually came to see Li Nuo under the guise of a dinner party. Is this still my workaholic boss?

Compared with his wild thoughts, Li Yan's eyes were cold enough to freeze.
