Chapter 52 The stingy boss
In fact, Shen Pianpian regretted it the moment the words came out of her mouth.
If you get caught, the worst that can happen is you just have to pay for the snacks and apologize openly, right?
Why do you say you are hungry in such a pitiful tone as if you haven’t eaten for 800 days!
She simply wanted to turn back time and stuff the words "I'm hungry" back into her stomach!
Besides, as a big boss, there's no way I'd argue with a small employee over a few bags of snacks, right? Why am I feeling so guilty and embarrassed?
She was regretting it, and the big boss seemed to feel the same way.
The look of slightly raised eyebrows made Shen Pianpian feel even more embarrassed.
But Cheng Zhiyuan didn't seem to care much about her reaction, and just said lightly,
"Of course, snack companies don't care about this, and you don't need to feel embarrassed."
Shen Pianpian's eyes lit up.
"But these are snacks from the secretary's office after all. You can't just break the rules like that."
Why do I have a bad feeling?
"The cost of these snacks will be deducted from your film pay," Cheng Zhiyuan looked at him calmly, "What do you think?"
Shen Pianpian: “…Okay.”
Miss Shen tried hard to put on a smiling expression, and also tried hard to control her eyes that wanted to turn into swords and fly towards the big boss, and said goodbye with a fake smile,
"Then Boss, you should go to bed early (never sleep for the rest of your life), I'll be leaving first."
When the door was about to close, a faint reminder came from inside.
"Oh, that's all the snack expenses from these days. Don't overestimate it."
His steps froze.
Shen Pianpian took a deep breath, turned around, opened the door, and strode in with snacks in her arms.
Under Cheng Zhiyuan's gaze, he moved closer and closer to him until he stood beside the desk.
She stared at Cheng Zhiyuan for a while, then showed an exaggeratedly bright smile, bent down to pick up the box of chocolates that had fallen, and shook it at him.
“It can’t be wasted.”
Shen Pianpian turned around and walked out with big strides.
Boss Cheng, who had been sitting in his office chair without moving or changing his expression, watched her leave and disappear, but curled the corners of his lips slightly.
It was just a very tiny arc, but if Secretary Liu was here, he would probably pop his eyes out.
God knows how long it has been since their boss last smiled, especially since that person passed away. He hasn't even had an expression close to a smile.
And this faint smile at this moment was only fleeting.
He lowered his head and looked at the table. There was a golden invitation letter, gorgeously crafted and luxurious, full of the smell of money.
He reached out and opened the invitation, and there was a red logo in the lower right corner.
Empire Auction House.
Looking at the logo, his already deep and dark eyes became even darker, like a surging undercurrent beneath the sea, cold and ferocious.

Shen Pianxian was answering the phone at the moment, and was asked by Meng Qingse about the gossip about Boss Cheng. She let out a "hehe" sound from between her teeth.
"The big boss was so nice. He treated me to five free snacks, and the sixth time he asked me to pay him back for the first five. I was so touched I almost cried."
Meng Qingse said in confusion,
"What's going on?"
Shen Pianxian narrowed his eyes and snorted,
"I'm praising him, can't you hear it?" She piled the snacks one by one on the bedside, then turned around with her headphones on to wash up. As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw her roommate quietly cleaning up the potato chip bags she left behind in the living room, sweeping some crumbs on the table into the trash can and then carefully wiping the table clean.
Shen Pianpian: “…”
I finally figured out where all those uneaten snacks went.
Shen Pianpian floated back to the bedroom silently, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone.
She deeply felt that her luck was not good today.
Miss Meng, who was unaware of the situation, continued to talk nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, I heard some news today. The Imperial Capital Auction House is going to hold a small auction soon. I heard that all the items for auction this time are provided by the Ning family."
Like a conditioned reflex, Shen Pianpian froze all his thoughts when the word "Ning" reached his ears.
She repeated slowly to confirm,
"What did you say?"
