Chapter 366 Couple Package
Chen Haoming worked hard until after seven o'clock, then picked up the office phone and called the front desk.
There has been no response.
Then he remembered that today was Valentine's Day and everyone had left work early to go on a date.
Looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, night has already fallen.
Now that everyone had left, he would let himself relax today.
I closed my computer and left the office.
After leaving the company, Chen Haoming did not go home directly, but walked on the street.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
He has been abroad for these years and only knows that Valentine's Day in the West is very lively.
But I never thought that not long after returning to China, I would celebrate Valentine's Day in my own country.
Looking at so many couples walking hand in hand, I felt a little lonely.
After walking for a while, I felt hungry, so I walked into a nearby restaurant, planned to eat something, and then go home.
At this time, it was already past eight o'clock, and many couples who had made reservations in advance had finished their meals and left.
So there are many empty tables in the restaurant at this moment.
After Chen Haoming sat down, he ordered a bowl of spaghetti.
Thinking that I was alone anyway, I just ate something to fill my stomach.
But after a while, the waiter came back and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, the spaghetti you ordered is out of stock now."
"Nothing? Then what else can we eat now?" Chen Haoming asked.
Now that he had sat down, he didn't want to find another restaurant to eat, so he just looked around and ate whatever was available.
The waiter replied: "Most of the items are sold out now, and there is only one couple's meal left..."
Couples package?
Chen Haoming thought, I am alone, how can I possibly finish the couple’s meal?
It’s not that he doesn’t care about the price, but he doesn’t want to waste food.
Just as I was about to refuse, the waiter said, "Sir, if you think you can't finish the meal by yourself, why don't you share the meal with the lady at the table in front of you. Our couple's meal is very affordable and delicious. It's only specially launched today for Valentine's Day. It's not available at other times."
Sharing a couple's meal with others, even if you don't mind, others may not be willing to share it with you, right?
If others don't want to, it will be awkward...
Chen Haoming wanted to refuse, but he didn't have time to say anything.
The waiter said: "Let me ask the lady in front for you..."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the front.
Chen Haoming covered his face, wanting to leave...
But when the lady at the table in front turned around, she saw him at a glance.
Said to the waiter: "Okay, let's have this couple's meal."
The young lady walked up to Chen Haoming and said, "Sir, do you mind if I join you?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Chen Haoming looked up and saw: "Jia Qi, it's you..."
"Yes, what a coincidence. I just walked over here after get off work and thought of finding something to eat. But I was told that most of the food was sold out. Just when I was worrying about what to eat, the waiter asked me to share a couple's meal with someone else. When I saw it was you, I came over. You don't mind sharing a couple's meal with me, right?"
Although I have asked the waiter to place the order, it is still polite to ask.
Chen Haoming smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. I was afraid you would mind! Sit down..."
Huang Jiaqi sat down opposite Chen Haoming.
"By the way, Haoming, why haven't you eaten yet so late? Do you have to work overtime at the company today?"
Generally speaking, big companies like theirs have very good benefits, and people usually leave work early on holidays like this.
"I didn't work overtime, but my assistant left early, and I got so busy that I forgot about meal time."
Usually when they were in the company, Yu Yang would ask him to eat together or pack food for him from the cafeteria.
Today was a special day, and he could only take care of himself.
Huang Jiaqi brought up the past: "Before, you and Ying Bao said that I didn't eat on time, it seems that you are the same..."
Chen Haoming smiled awkwardly.
Some things are easy to talk about others, but we forget them when it happens to ourselves.
However, Huang Jiaqi just talked about it and did not keep harping on this issue.
Soon, their couple's meal arrived.
This set meal is indeed very rich, with two steaks, two cups of milk tea, a fruit salad, tiramisu cake slices and a French milk roll.
In order not to waste the food, the two of them ate everything.
Chen Haoming hasn't eaten Western food since he returned to China. He didn't expect that the couple's meal he had with Huang Jiaqi today would be so special.
Huang Jiaqi ate the best because she finished all the desserts.
Touching his bloated belly, he said contentedly, "Wow... I ate so much today. I feel like my stomach is a little full."
I don’t know if it’s because I was eating with Chen Haoming, but I always felt that the food tonight was particularly delicious, so I couldn’t help but eat it.
