Chapter 149 Peeping

Shuang Xu had something to ask Cheng Xiye, so he asked Xiao Liao to go get someone. After a while, Xiao Liao came back and said mysteriously, "There's a beauty in the master's office!"

"What beauty?" Shuang Xu raised his head.

Cheng Xiye’s office is his private territory, and even his colleagues in the company are not allowed to enter casually. Where did this beautiful woman come from?

"It's the beautiful lady who gave you oranges last time, the one with crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles." Xiao Liao's passion for appreciating human appearance far exceeds her boring job. She will remember any good-looking person, regardless of gender, after meeting them once.

She looked gossipy: "The great god let her into his office! He wouldn't let any of us in."

"Lu Manman?" Shuang Xu was even more surprised, because Feixue had never told her that Lu Manman came.

She clicked the mouse twice thoughtfully, then stood up and went to Cheng Xiye's office.

I knocked on the door and pushed it open. Cheng Xi was also wearing glasses and was concentrating on a laptop on the table with a bunch of wires plugged in.

Lu Manman was sitting in a messy place with a pile of programming books on her butt and a 3D orbital ball model in her hands, studying it.

She looked up and saw Shuang Xu, and greeted him very calmly: "Hello."

"What are you doing here?" Shuang Xu asked.

"Repair my computer." Lu Manman said, "My computer is broken."

Shuang Xu didn't know where she got the self-righteousness from: "You are quite good at ordering people around. He is not a computer repairman."

"You said he was a genius, right? Can't a genius repair a computer?"

"Programming and hardware maintenance are two different things." Shuang Xu said, "Besides, it's our working hours now."

There are so many employees in the company, but no one is willing to ask a master to repair their computer. Minor faults can be solved by ordinary programmers, but if they cannot be solved, they have to find professional maintenance personnel.

Asking a five-star chef to wash your dishes is a waste of his talent.

Lu Manman: "But he said he could."

Shuang Xu pondered over this sentence and concluded that the two had some private contact: "Have you added him on WeChat?"

Lu Manman raised her eyebrows and gave a sly look: "Can't I add it?"

Shuang Xu looked at Cheng Xiye, who looked a little evasive: "It's been fixed."

"Fixed?" Lu Manman immediately put down the model and looked over from the other side of the table. "So fast?"

"It's infected with a virus." Cheng Xi's face flushed visibly as he spoke, "Don't open those messy URLs."

Frost Preface: “…”

Lu Manman: “…”

Lu Manman looked at her and said, "I was just reading a novel."

Shuang Xu said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

"Okay, stop looking at me like that. I admit that I saw something a little bit disgusting. This is human nature." Lu Manman winked at her. "It's very nice. I'll recommend it to you later."

Shuang Xu: "...Thank you, no thanks. My computer said it doesn't want to get a virus."

Cheng Xiye's face was almost red.

"Let's go once you're done." Shuang Xu stuffed Lu Manman's computer into her arms, "Don't disturb my employees. I'll charge you for repairing your computer next time."

Lu Manman came out holding her computer and waved to the curious employees: "Hi~"

Shuang Xu escorted her to the elevator hall like a prisoner and personally walked her downstairs.

"Are you also interested in Cheng Xi?"

"No," Lu Manman said, "I just think he's funny and interesting to tease."

"If you're bored and want to find someone to tease, it's better to find someone else." Shuang Xu said, "He is the core backbone of our company. Don't treat him as a toy."

"Okay." Lu Manman saw the coffee shop on the corner of the street, "Please buy me a cup of coffee."

Shuang Xu said: "You use my employees for free, and I'm still treating you to coffee. Why are your genes so overbearing?"

"I helped you and my cousin to cover so much. Even if I don't get any credit, I have worked hard." Lu Manman took her arm and pulled her to the cafe.

Shuang Xu also ordered coffee for her colleagues. While waiting for the coffee, she always felt that someone was looking at her, so she turned her head to look in a certain direction.

Handmade ceramic cups are displayed on the solid wood partition in the middle of the cafe. The view is blocked by the hollow shelf, and people on the other side cannot be seen.

She turned back.

The clerk put the packaged coffee on the counter. Lu Manman drank the coffee in her hand and complained in front of the clerk: "It's really unpalatable. Is this what you usually drink at work?"

"If you try drinking it secretly, you'll find it delicious." Shuang Xu said this and turned back again without warning.

A head quickly shrank back from the partition.

"What's wrong?" Lu Manman noticed something strange.

"That person seems to be spying on us."

That strange feeling lingered, Shuang Xu frowned and stared for a few seconds, then walked in that direction.

Around the partition, a woman was sitting on a leather booth, the menu in her hand just covering her face.

She was dressed elegantly, and the bag she placed on the table was made of rare leather. She looked like a wealthy and tasteful lady.

Did she misunderstand?

Shuang Xu was wondering if his sixth sense was failing when he heard Lu Manman, who had followed him, shout, "Mom?"

Shuang Xu looked at the noble lady in surprise. She finally put down the menu in front of her, wearing a pair of sunglasses on her face.

When she took off her sunglasses, it turned out to be Lu Manman's mother - Mrs. Lu He Wenjing.

Shuang Xu was extremely surprised and politely called out, "Aunt He, what a coincidence."

He Wenjing said: "Long time no see, Shuang Xu."

Lu Manman asked in confusion: "Weren't you still at home when I went out? What are you doing here?"

He Wenjing picked up the latte in front of her and said, "I'm here for coffee."

Lu Manman narrowed her eyes and asked, "Have all the coffee shops near our house closed down? Why did you ask the driver to take you all the way to a terrible coffee shop 40 kilometers away to drink coffee?"

After saying that, he turned to the clerk who was wiping the table next to him and said, "No offense."

Shop assistant: “…” Already offended.

He Wenjing quickly spat out the coffee in her mouth: "I was wondering why it tastes so bad, like hot pot water."

Shop assistant: “…”

There was a faint sense of awkwardness floating in the air.

He Wenjing was exposed, the coffee clerk was offended, and Shuang Xu vaguely understood something.

He Wenjing came all the way here to drink coffee, she couldn't have been just idle and following her daughter around.

After a while, Shuang Xu took the initiative to say, "Aunt He, why don't you come to our company and have a seat? It's upstairs."
