Jia Lan, carrying the steamed buns, didn't rush home. Instead, she took a taxi to her best friend's company to find her.
These buns are so delicious, she definitely has to let her best friend try them!
Xiaolin is a graphic designer.
If the client or manager is not satisfied with her design, she has to work overtime to revise it.
Therefore, working overtime is a common occurrence.
If you can get the design drawings approved on the first try without working overtime, then the sun has risen in the west.
Upon seeing Jia Lan's message and knowing she was coming soon, Xiaolin replied with a tired emoji to indicate that she understood.
She's so annoyed that she can't even be bothered to type!
I glanced at the time; it was already nine o'clock, and almost everyone in the office had left.
At first glance, only the light in front of her workstation was still on, and the light from the computer screen shone on her face, making her look no different from Sadako.
Her smooth, long hair was now a tangled mess from her agitated rubbing.
The dark circles under her eyes and the Red Bull coffee on the table undoubtedly show what kind of torment she is going through.
She was typing away so much with the mouse and keyboard that her fingers were practically blurring out a blur.
When Jia Lan walked in, she was quite frightened by the dim and quiet environment.
After calling out Xiaolin's name, she was so frightened by the sudden appearance of a human head in front of the computer that she let out a shrill scream.
It scared the boss, who was also working overtime in the office, half to death.
I ran out of the office quickly, almost tripping over the leg of my desk.
"Smack!"
Upon arriving at the office area, he immediately turned on the headlights, illuminating the office with a blinding light.
Jia Lan's screams stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
A strange man asked anxiously in my ear.
Jia Lan looked at her crazy best friend, then turned to look at the man in the suit, her face showing embarrassment.
"Excuse me, I'm a little afraid of the dark."
The man turned around and was startled to see Xiaolin standing up. He took a few steps back, his eyes filled with terror.
Who are you?!
Xiaolin: ......
What's wrong with these two?
"Boss, it's me, Xiaolin."
Xiaolin responded with a stiff smile.
He was filled with the resentment of a working-class person, which made him look even more frightening.
The man recognized her voice, and his lips twitched.
Jia Lan pointed at Xiaolin and said, "Xiaolin, can't you see what you look like right now?"
Xiaolin: ? ? ?
The next second, Xiaolin took out her phone, opened the camera, and pointed it at herself.
"Oh no! How did I become like this?!"
Xiaolin looked at herself, who looked like a madwoman in the camera, and awkwardly fixed her hair.
A few minutes later, Xiaolin, her boss, and Jia Lan sat together in the lobby, eating the steamed buns that Jia Lan had brought.
The awkward atmosphere quickly dissipated with the delicious steamed buns.
"Wow, Xiao Lan, where did you buy these steamed buns? They're so delicious!"
The sweet red bean buns instantly soothed Xiaolin's resentment from working overtime, and relieved her depressed mood.
His tired face also looked more energetic.
The boss watched this scene with amazement and nodded in agreement.
These steamed buns are really delicious.
Although it's not that hot, it's summer now, so the warm texture is just fine to eat.
The soft and chewy bun dough, combined with the sweet filling, creates a wonderful taste that makes you fall in love with it instantly.
"It's the steamed bun that saved me yesterday, the one I told you about."
Xiaolin's eyes widened in surprise. She had thought Jia Lan was just very hungry, but she hadn't expected the steamed buns to be so delicious!
"Wow, I'm going to buy one tomorrow too, absolutely amazing!"
The owner, who was not familiar with them, finished his bun and, seeing them chatting, cautiously glanced at the last remaining bun on the table, a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Xiaolin, you've worked hard overtime. Since your friend is coming to visit you, you can leave work early. It's okay if you submit the design drawings a little later."
After saying that, seeing the two of them become happy, he quickly picked up the steamed buns on the table.
The meaning is already quite clear.
It all depends on whether they're willing to make the deal.
Xiaolin and Jialan had only eaten one bun each when the last bun was taken by the shopkeeper.
Coupled with what he had just said, the smile on his face almost disappeared.
What a scoundrel of a boss! He's a real scoundrel!
"Okay, boss."
Even from those four short words, Jia Lan could hear the sound of her gritting her teeth.
Don't ask Jia Lan how she's feeling right now.
She's tired of saying the word "regret"!
"Then let's go home."
After saying that, the man grabbed the steamed bun and quickly slipped away, afraid that if he was even a second late, the bun would be snatched away from his hand.
Xiaolin turned around and saw Jia Lan looking at her with a resentful gaze.
This trip was a disaster. First, she was scared, then her steamed buns were taken away. She definitely lost out. If she had known, she wouldn't have come!
"You took my steamed buns to curry favor with the boss. I queued for over an hour to buy those buns!"
Xiaolin smiled ingratiatingly at Jia Lan and said, "Good sister, let's make a sacrifice so I can get off work early today. Come on, let's go for a drink!"
"That's fine."
Jia Lan was instantly appeased, and then they went out for drinks together with smiles on their faces.
......
On the other side, Lin Zhou and the old man who was climbing the mountain returned to the Royal Villa, one in a luxury van and the other on a tricycle.
Before parting, we made plans to go hiking and have tea the next morning.
The driver looked at Lin Zhou with surprise.
Surprisingly, this seemingly ordinary young man selling steamed buns at a street stall also lives in the royal capital.
