Chapter 69
It happened to be the weekend, so Mingxu had two days of free time.
He got up early in the morning and acted as the cook, preparing fragrant grilled sausages, freshly baked golden bread, and steaming milk.
Yan Qing was awakened by a knock on the door.
The man in the apron was standing at the door, looking at him with a smile, holding a spatula in his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "You can eat now."
He stretched his body, separating the sweet dream from the delicious food: "Wait for me to wash up." Yan Qing trotted into the bathroom.
After washing up, she sat at the dining table. The food she was about to eat had already been neatly arranged. Yan Qing looked over and saw Ming Xu still busy in the kitchen.
She was about to get up when she saw him turn around and come out: "What are you still busy with?"
Ming Xu showed her a plate of cut fruit. He placed it on the table and calmly pushed it towards Yan Qing. "Blueberries are very sweet at this time of year. Try some."
I originally wanted to buy some raspberries, but when I heard the old lady next to me and my friends talking about how sour the raspberries were this year, I gave up the idea.
Yan Qing slowly savored the loving breakfast made by her boyfriend.
Ming Xu felt a little regretful that he couldn't show off his cooking skills. "Now I can only cook what's in the refrigerator. I'll take you to eat pork knuckle at noon."
Pork knuckle? The sandwich in her hand suddenly lost its aroma, as if she could already smell the aroma of pork knuckle.
Noticing Yan Qing's clear mind, Ming Xu stared at her with a smile and directly exposed her little thoughts: "You want to eat now?"
After being exposed, Yan Qing was like a deflated ball, and continued to mechanically refuse the sandwich which was not as delicious as the pork elbow.
"You can visit the tourist attractions in the morning and go to the restaurant early at noon. It's quite famous, so if you go late you might have to queue."
——
"It's all your fault." Yan Qing kicked away the fallen leaves at his feet and sat down on a chair beside him in a huff.
Looking at the huge crowd at the door, Mingxu was a little overwhelmed. However, it was only eleven o'clock and the door was already full of people waiting for a table. This store was much more famous than he thought.
This is a small family restaurant with limited space, but the food is really delicious, attracting tourists from all over the world.
The only drawback is that you can’t order while waiting for a table. There’s not even a menu. You can only sit outside and wait boringly. Otherwise, you have to queue again if your turn comes up. It’s so inconvenient, unlike in China.
Taking another look at his girlfriend who was in a bad mood, Mingxu went to queue up and sat down next to her.
Yan Qing didn't want to wait, but then he thought that this was beyond his control. Although he was already starving, being able to eat the most delicious pork elbow at this time of greatest hunger was still worth the trip. "Then I'll reluctantly wait with you."
"Okay, thank you for your magnanimity, leader." Ming Xu said with a smile.
Suddenly, Yan Qing saw a waffle vendor not far away, so she squeezed Mingxu's hand and motioned him to go.
“I bought two.”
Ming Xu handed the steaming hot waffles to Yan Qing: "This one is chocolate, and there is another one with ice cream, you eat it first."
Two hours later, the two were finally taken to their seats by the waiter. Yan Qing felt that he had no strength left. He really couldn't agree with the efficiency of foreign countries.
After ordering a few special dishes, Yan Qing leaned back in his chair in a daze.
Mingxu looked around the store and his eyes fell on his girlfriend across from him: "Would you like to come sit over here?"
"No." She refused without thinking.
The man in front of him looked lost.
"Mr. Ming, our table is for one person. Do you want me to sit on your head?" Yan Qing laughed.
Ming Xu couldn't hold it in any longer, but he still forced a smile: "I won't come to this kind of small shop anymore. I can't even sit together to eat. My appetite has lost."
The restaurant served the dishes very quickly. After a while, all the dishes were served. Yan Qing raised her mobile phone to take a photo and sent it to the person she was meeting with, but she didn't know where he was. Soon, she received an angry question from that person.
"Send it to Zhou Mingshu again?"
"Um."
"I really envy him." Ming Xu felt a little jealous.
Yan Qing understood: "You're jealous of this? You're just an elementary school student."
After being exposed, Ming Xu, who was taking apart the elbow, raised his eyes and said nothing more.
The two looked at each other, and Yan Qing couldn't help but pick up a piece of meat and started eating. "Delicious."
They were eating and chatting, and the date atmosphere was just right when they were interrupted by a hurried phone call. Seeing the message on it, Ming Xu frowned.
Yan Qing also realized that something was wrong, started to pack up her things, and called the waiter to pack them up.
On the way back to the company, Mingxu was on the phone all the time, speaking German. Yan Qing couldn't understand him and could only look at the scenery boredly and complain to Zhou Mingshu.
[Yan Qing]: Are Germans this hardworking? They even work on weekends.
Zhou Mingshu was bored, but when he saw Yan Qing's message, he immediately became excited.
[Zhou Mingshu]: The people you met might be Chinese people in Germany.
[Yan Qing]: Aren’t you sleeping yet?
[Zhou Mingshu]: It’s not even ten o’clock yet.
As they were chatting, Ming Xu's hand blocked her phone screen.
"Did you finish the fight?"
"Who are you chatting with? You look so happy."
Did you do it on purpose? Yan Qing slapped the hand away and rolled her eyes at him: "Who are you talking to on the phone again?"
"Gao Lu."
No wonder? Only Chinese people work overtime on weekends.
Ming Xu: "There's a project in Haicheng, and they want to discuss it with me. Gao Lu asked their boss to book a flight to come to Germany to see me. I didn't expect him to actually come. He'll be here tomorrow."
"What a willful boss! Is there no one to stop him?"
The next morning, Yan Qing received news that Mingxu had gone to the company. The partner wanted to find a restaurant to talk, but Mingxu refused, saying that he had to have dinner with his wife in the evening.
Partner boss: "Are you coming to Germany to work or to get married?"
Ming Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about personal matters."
The boss of the partner: "Ming Xu!"
Seeing the person in front of him getting angry, Ming Xu was happy: "He Qiao, why haven't you changed your bad temper?"
——
Ming Xu was constantly pestered by Jiang Wei to eat lunch in the office.
Yan Qing got up and saw Ming Xu's message. As soon as she arrived at the company, she was stopped by the assistant waiting at the door: "Boss lady."
Boss lady?
Seeing the confused look on the face of the person in front of him, Han Qiuheng called out again. Yan Qing, who was about to move aside, realized that he was calling her.
"Mr. Ming asked me to come down and pick you up."
Yan Qing followed Han Qiuheng into the elevator without saying a word.
Han Qiuheng was confused when he received Ming Xu's notice asking him to pick up his girlfriend.
When did Mr. Ming start dating?
An employee who was on a business trip nearby whispered to him, "Assistant Han, President Ming went on a date with his girlfriend yesterday."
"How do you know?"
"It's spread all over the company. President Ming and his girlfriend were eating pork elbow yesterday. A colleague who happened to be in that restaurant saw them and took photos. Look." As he said that, he opened the chat history to show Han Qiuheng.
Han Qiuheng looked at the unfamiliar group chat and glared at the two people with sharp eyes. He no longer cared about what Mr. Ming and his girlfriend had eaten yesterday. "You have a small group? Gossip Group? What a great name!"
Damn it, the secret is leaked.
She panicked and immediately pleaded, "Assistant Han, we haven't said anything bad about anyone. Could you please not tell President Ming?"
"Show me what you said."
Looking through the chat history, the person who was so excited just now felt his back soaked with cold sweat, fearing that something inappropriate would be seen in it.
Han Qiuheng looked at it for a while and then returned the phone with a serious expression: "If you have any gossip in the future, tell me too."
After saying that, he tidied his clothes and left.
No wonder I always heard the other two assistants in the office whispering to each other when I was in Haicheng. It turns out they have a gossip channel.
You must be careful in the future and not let yourself become the source of gossip.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, the two employees who were taking a break from their busy work looked at each other.
Mr. Ming’s girlfriend?
Yes, yes, that's her! I want to reprimand the person who took the photo. Don't take it again next time.
Han Qiuheng noticed the two of them and immediately warned them with his eyes.
As soon as they entered the office, the two employees quickly picked up their phones to share the latest gossip.
[Breaking News! Mr. Ming’s girlfriend is also in Germany.]
[Just now! Entered the office.]
The group, which was usually very lively only on weekdays, immediately exploded.
The two of them were talking to each other, and from time to time they looked up to see if anyone was coming out of the office.
Just as we were chatting enthusiastically, a male voice came from above our heads: "So happy?"
The typing hands of both of them stopped instantly, and no one dared to look up.
After a moment, one of them stood up awkwardly and forced a smile: "Assistant Han, you're out." After saying that, he glanced behind Han Qiuheng. Fortunately, there was no one else.
"How dare you gossip about President Ming?" Han Qiuheng greeted the two of them, leaning down and lowering his voice. "We're all colleagues, so let me tell you something. There was an employee at President Ming's guesthouse who gossiped about President Ming and his wife and was fired that same day."
The two seemed to be frightened, covering their mouths in horror: "Really...really?"
Han Qiuheng didn't lie to them: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go and ask."
"Assistant Han, please don't tell President Ming."
Mingli always turns a blind eye to such things. As long as it doesn't affect his work, he doesn't care.
But Ming Xu is different. He doesn't come to the company often, and the people in the company know very little about him. After hearing what Han Qiuheng said today, both of them wanted to throw away their phones.
Seeing this, Han Qiuheng did not forget to comfort her: "Don't worry, gossip is normal, I like to listen to it, but don't say anything nonsense."
The two nodded like chicks pecking at rice: "Don't worry."
Yan Qing sat on the sofa, watching Ming Xu holding a meeting with domestic employees.
The door of the lounge suddenly opened, and the people who came out were stunned when they saw Yan Qing sitting on the sofa. Yan Qing didn't expect that there was a third person in the office.
Ming Xu also looked puzzled. He ignored the ongoing meeting and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Everyone in the online meeting was also confused. What was President Ming talking about?
He Qiao looked at Yan Qing, strode over to her and sat down. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ming Xu stand up and walk towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Before he could speak, he looked at the heavily closed door and said angrily, "A guy who values relatives and friends more than women."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at two people who were watching the show.
After being discovered, the two pretended to be busy, but when they looked up, they saw He Qiao coming over.
"Mr. He."
"Mr. He."
He Qiao smiled and said, "Let's get off work early." After that, he left.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Gossip is risky.
Yan Qing watched Ming Xu throw the man out of the office: "Who is that?"
Mingxu didn't forget that there was a group of people waiting for him to have a meeting, so he sat back at his desk and asked everyone to continue.
But he picked up the phone.
[Ming Xu]: It’s the partner who wants to meet me.
It turned out to be Party A. Yan Qing was a little worried and looked up at Ming Xu.
[Yan Qing]: Then kicking him out won’t affect our cooperation, right?
[Ming Xu]: My high school classmate. He copied a lot of my homework at that time. He had just taken over the job of his family's company.
He Qiao got in the car and sent another message to Ming Xu.
Ming Xu frowned when he saw the phone, took a screenshot and sent it to Yan Qing.
