Chapter 431 Deep Virtual Reality 259
"Aren't we going to order food for Professor Xie?"
A colleague scrolled through the menu, his stomach rumbling. They had spent the night making plans and then arrived at the management office early this morning, only to be met with a series of meetings.
I'm both tired and hungry right now.
Xie Ning also spent the morning with them at the Administration Bureau meeting, and was the main speaker, so he must have been even more tired and hungry.
"No need, Professor Xie is resting. I'll ask the waiter to bring it up to her at a set time later."
He Yan was also hungry. Seeing his colleague swiping up and down without ordering, he felt helpless and turned to the electronic menu to order for himself.
When his colleagues saw the prices on the dishes He Yan ordered, they couldn't help but gasp. "Assistant He, how about we go out to eat? I remember there's a food street in Nanhu District where the food is pretty good."
The main reason is that the price is cheap. Although their wages are higher than those of ordinary people, they are still humble workers with high daily expenses. They usually save as much as possible, and can only afford to spend money when a family member has a serious illness or minor pain.
After all, as employees of Huarui Technology Company, they do enjoy employee benefits, such as a high reimbursement rate for medical expenses, but their family members do not.
Most importantly, they also have to repay student loans; they are humble, indebted working people.
He Yan knew what they were thinking, of course. His family was relatively well-off and supported him until he graduated with a master's degree. Even now that he was working, his parents would ask him from time to time if he had enough money.
Therefore, he has never really worried about money since he was a child.
However, there was really no need to go out to eat at this time. He Yan submitted the menu he had ordered and said to the group.
"I forgot to tell you that our meals and accommodations are reimbursed when we travel for business. Although there is a limit, we won't exceed that limit when we eat here."
Then, lowering his voice, he added, "Professor Xie receives an extra subsidy, so our reimbursement amount is higher than that of other experimental groups."
Xie Ning will reimburse expenses exceeding the company's limit.
Their eyes lit up, and the fatigue on their faces disappeared. They were no longer so reserved while eating here.
He Yan didn't order any alcohol. They had to go to the site for surveying after resting for two hours, and drinking alcohol would easily affect their work.
Although transportation is convenient now, others still plan to go out for a stroll after dinner, mainly to buy things for their families.
As for rest?
They're still young! They can sleep in later tonight!
He Yan didn't want to go out. He had been to Nanhu District before, so he wasn't interested in going out for a stroll. Therefore, he went back to his room alone.
Just as he stepped into the elevator, he bumped into an acquaintance.
“Vice President Shen.” He Yan stepped aside to make way for the group.
"Assistant He? What are you doing here? On a business trip?" Shen Xiuying was a little surprised, but she immediately thought of Xie Ning. If He Yan was here, Xie Ning was very likely to be here as well.
"Yes." He didn't say much more. He Yan was always tight-lipped in public, since Zhou Qin was in charge of external affairs, and he only needed to handle technical work.
Shen Xiuying didn't mind. Her assistant leaned closer and whispered a few words, then asked with a smile, "Is Professor Xie here too? If so, please ask Assistant He to pass on a message to Professor Xie that I'd like to invite her to a casual meal."
This is certain.
Their itinerary was not kept secret; it could be easily found out with a little inquiry.
He Yansu nodded with a serious expression, "I will pass on the message to Professor Xie."
After the others left, He Yan lingered at Xie Ning's door for a while, but still didn't choose to wake Xie Ning. Although he didn't know what Shen Xiuya wanted, since Xie Ning hadn't said anything before, he decided not to disturb her.
We can report it after he wakes up; after all, it's a rare opportunity to rest.
