"Speaking of which, I've never had Northeastern Chinese food before."
Although she often sees famous Northeastern dishes like sweet and sour pork, fried silkworm pupae, and stewed goose in an iron pot in short videos, Mu Liuyun has never actually tried them.
Judging from the dishes on the map, the various ingredients in the iron pot, along with the cornbread stuck to the edge of the pot, look quite appetizing. The name is "Grandma's Home," which sounds very homey.
More importantly, the cheapest single-person set meal is only 49 yuan, and it's a large portion that you can eat your fill!
This is probably a characteristic of Northeastern Chinese cuisine.
Having made her decision, Mu Liuyun walked towards a corner on the third floor.
...
Downstairs at the Lantian Group building, a handsome and sunny man was holding a small bouquet of roses.
This man was none other than Gu Nan, who had abandoned Shen Lanxin at their wedding.
At that moment, he leaned on the front desk, a strange smile curving his lips as he looked at the receptionist.
"Miss, may I know your name?"
The young woman felt physically uncomfortable because of Gu Nan's strange smile; it felt like her period was coming early, and she wished she could slap the corner of Gu Nan's mouth off.
However, the president's secretary, Shen Jing, had specifically held a meeting and told everyone in the company that this man was the president's fiancé, and if they didn't want to pack their bags and leave, they shouldn't mess with him.
So the young lady had no choice but to bite the bullet and imitate Gu Nan's forced smile: "Mr. Gu, my name is on the nameplate on the table."
"Damn, that smile looks so ugly, forget it!"
Gu Nan seemed startled by the young lady's wicked smile, and quickly took two steps back, looking as if he had seen something dirty.
"Honestly, I'm going to get Xin Xin to fire you later. How come you can't even smile when you're working as a receptionist?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Gu."
The veins on the young woman's forehead bulged, but a god in her heart called Ox and Horse kept admonishing her to be patient!
Just then, the tall and slender CEO secretary, Shen Jing, suddenly walked out from the side.
"Mr. Gu, please come with me for a moment."
Hearing Shen Jing's words, Gu Nan glared at the receptionist: "I'll have your CEO deal with you later!"
Then, he followed Shen Jing to the company entrance.
The young woman was both angry and scared. Although she graduated from a prestigious university, she had worked very hard to find this job at Lantian Group, and she didn't want to lose it just like that.
"don’t worry."
"President Shen!"
Shen Lanxin, who appeared out of nowhere, nodded to the young lady. This receptionist was someone she had personally hired, so naturally, she couldn't just leave her there like that.
Moreover, Shen Lanxin and Shen Jing witnessed everything that just happened and knew that Gu Nan had struck up a conversation with her first.
Gu Nan used to do this kind of thing often, but Shen Lanxin never thought anything of it. But now she felt that Gu Nan was really shameless and couldn't compare to even a finger of Mu Liuyun.
Speaking of Mu Liuyun's fingers, they were truly as slender and delicate as scallions...
"Ahem, but don't imitate his laughter in the future."
After saying that, Shen Lanxin quickly walked towards the elevator. She needed to finish her work early today so she could deliver the tickets to Mu Liuyun that evening.
Although it was something that could be resolved with a phone call, Shen Lanxin still wanted to hand it over to Mu Liuyun in person.
As for the engagement with Gu Nan, it ended long ago when Gu Nan ran away from the wedding, didn't it?
On the other side, Shen Jing accompanied Gu Nan out of the company gate, and immediately looked at Gu Nan with a hint of reproach: "Brother Nan, why are you flirting with young girls again? President Shen is watching right here!"
Gu Nan deflated like a punctured balloon, the bouquet in his hand drooping to the ground: "Xin Xin's attitude towards me has been strange lately. I always feel like she's still angry with me, so I can only try to get her attention. I'm sorry..."
Seeing Gu Nan's dejected and apologetic appearance, Shen Jing wanted nothing more than to rush over and hug him, to comfort him. However, she knew in her heart that her Nan-ge and President Shen were a match made in heaven, and there was no room for her to interfere.
She could only say with heartache, "Don't worry, Brother Nan, President Shen isn't angry with you anymore!"
"Do you think it's possible that Xin Xin has found someone else she likes and no longer cares about me, her childhood sweetheart?"
Before the Gu family's downfall, Shen Lanxin and Gu Nan lived in two villas across the street from each other and often played together when they were young. It wasn't until their high school years, when the Gu family was investigated by the police, that the two were temporarily separated.
Gu Nan's words made Shen Jing think carefully for a moment before shaking her head: "Impossible. President Shen hasn't been in contact with any other men in the past two years. How could she possibly have fallen in love with someone else!"
After saying this, a beautiful young man suddenly appeared in Shen Jing's mind. But Mu Liuyun had already been driven away by President Shen, and besides, could he even be considered a man?
"I know, but look, Xin Xin has been ignoring my invitations lately. She won't even give me the chance to have a meal together and have a proper talk. I'm really scared!"
Gu Nan's handsome face fell completely after he finished speaking, making his originally sunny appearance look like that of a cute little puppy.
This stirred a flutter in Shen Jing's heart, but as a professional secretary, she calmed herself down: "Here's what we'll do, Brother Nan, find a place to go this noon, reserve seats, and send me the address. I'll try to get President Shen there!"
Gu Nan's face lit up with joy, but then his expression turned worried: "Really? Won't that be too much trouble for you?"
Shen Jing saw all the changes in Gu Nan's expression and thought that Brother Nan was concerned about her, so she felt warm inside: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"I'm going back to my office now. It seems like President Shen has something to do tonight and is in a hurry to finish his work."
"Brother Nan, remember to message me after you've found a good spot!"
After saying that, Shen Jing waved to Gu Nan and walked into the company gate.
Left alone outside, Gu Nan looked at the cheaply sold bouquet in his hand and chuckled, "This is so 'ez' (a slang term for something ridiculously overpowered)!"
"Where should we eat? Qianxiao Commercial Center seems to be nearby, let's go check it out."
...
...
Gu Nan went to the third floor of Qianxiao Commercial Center, but after looking around, he couldn't find anything good to eat.
It's not that the restaurant on the third floor is bad, but that Gu Nan doesn't have the funds to support it.
Despite the Gu family's past reputation in Jincheng, they were completely ruined by a series of unforeseen events.
At that time, everyone in the Gu family was in a state of panic. Gu Nan's parents had already fled abroad, so Gu Nan casually found an excuse to pursue his "white moonlight" (his first love) and study abroad, and went abroad with her.
Although he did like that white moonlight at the time, she never gave him a second glance. During his two years in the United States, Gu Nan never even saw her once, and the matter was left unresolved.
There are two main reasons why I recently came back.
