"Ding-dong..."
Just then, the elevator arrived, and An Rou stepped inside. It was rush hour, and the elevator was quite crowded.
An Rou spoke to Lin Chen, who was still outside the elevator and hadn't reacted yet.
"The elevator can't fit you two, you'll have to wait for the next one. I'm going now, bye-bye."
After saying that, he pressed the close button, and the elevator went down.
A young man wearing glasses, a black down jacket, and a plaid shirt whispered behind him.
"President An, if we squeeze in a bit, we can still fit President Lin and President Li."
An Rou glanced back at the young man, smiled, and said nothing.
After the elevator reached the first floor, the young man and another colleague stepped out of the elevator together.
"Little handsome, what did President An mean by smiling at me just now?"
"Xiaoqiang, are you stupid? President An is obviously creating opportunities for President Lin and President Li. Do you expect them to date in an elevator?"
"Oh... so, out of all the people in the elevator, I was the only one who didn't notice?"
"Probably, anyway, the way everyone else was looking at you just now was like they were looking at an idiot."
"Oh no, my stupidity is going to be known throughout the whole company tomorrow."
"Actually, it didn't need to be tomorrow; the news had already spread before then."
"..."
Lin Chen got into Li Mengqi's car.
"Hey, senior, how about we go out to eat? I don't mind if we eat at Shaxian."
"Shaxian snacks? No way, how can that show my sincerity? Don't worry, I ordered takeout."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death! I thought this book was going to end today. What did you order?"
You'll know when you get there.
The two returned to Li Mengqi's home, which was still very tidy.
"Senior, I didn't realize you were so good at housework."
"It's alright. My parents are always doing business abroad, so I've always taken care of myself since I was little."
"Hey, senior, to make money, you always have to give up some things. You have to understand your uncle and aunt."
"Oh? So, what did you give up to make so much money?"
"I gave up my right to choose a partner during my four years of college, otherwise I would definitely have had several girlfriends by now."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"The delivery must have arrived. I'll go open the door."
After a while, Lin Chen saw that the table was already full.
Oysters, stir-fried eggs with chives, grilled kidneys, steamed pumpkin... and Red Bull and strong liquor.
"How about it? I'll treat you to barbecue, with meat and vegetables, drinks and alcohol. Anyway, you don't need to drive, it's just upstairs and downstairs."
Lin Chen's legs trembled slightly as he looked at the table full of food. He was already preparing to run away when he saw Red Bull drinking strong liquor, otherwise he might suddenly die here.
"Um, senior, I suddenly remembered that I left my brain at the company, I need to go back and get it."
Li Mengqi walked straight over, locked the door from the inside, and said with a smile.
"Boss, everyone's off work. We don't need your brains, just your bodies."
Since things had come to this point, Lin Chen had no choice but to sit down and start eating.
"Here you go, boss, these oysters are especially tender, have some more."
"Uh, hehe, senior, don't be shy, I'll get it myself..."
"Boss, did you know that mixing Red Bull and Jinjiu (a type of Chinese liquor) together creates a unique flavor? Come and try it."
"Senior, I can do it myself, I can do it myself..."
Finally, after finishing the meal, Lin Chen couldn't hold on any longer. He felt his two legs were weak, but his third leg had a lot of strength.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Li Mengqi said.
"I'm covered in the smell of barbecue. I'm going to change my clothes. Please have a seat for a while, boss."
Lin Chen realized something was wrong. "You're not going to change clothes, you're going to equip your gear!"
After Li Mengqi entered the bedroom, Lin Chen rushed to the door.
But Li Mengqi had just locked the door from the inside, and it couldn't be opened without the key.
At this critical moment, Lin Chen's brain worked at lightning speed, managing to divert blood flow from the bottom to the top.
Finally, Lin Chen recalled all the details. Li Mengqi's key was on the cabinet by the entrance; she had locked it from the inside and then casually hung it there.
Ten minutes later, Li Mengqi, dressed in a junior school uniform, came out of the room, ready to make up for the college life that Lin Chen had missed because of making money.
But the living room was empty.
...
At this moment, Lin Chen was gritting his teeth and hunching over, already inside the elevator that was going up.
Back in 1901, as soon as I opened the door, I smelled the aroma of spicy hot pot.
"Hey? Why are you back? I thought you weren't coming back tonight."
"There's no time to explain, I'm about to explode."
Lin Chen picked up An Rou and carried her into the room.
"My spicy hot pot..."
...
When An Rou saw her bowl of spicy hot pot again, it was the next morning.
And he had dark circles under his eyes.
"Were you drugged last night?"
Lin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Almost. Last night's dishes included oysters, stir-fried eggs with chives, grilled kidneys, and steamed pumpkin..."
"Hiss! You went to the Spider Cave, didn't you?!"
"Hehe, that's not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is the drink, Red Bull!"
"My goodness! It seems that Senior Li did a lot of research for this dinner! Red Bull and strong liquor, she drank it all night long! But why am I the one who ended up getting hurt!"
"Who told you not to let me take the elevator when I left work yesterday!"
"I……"
"Alright, get up. We still have things to do at the company today."
"I need to take a day off! I need to stay home and rest today to recuperate and recharge!"
"Okay, I approve. I'm off."
When Lin Chen arrived at the company, Hu Jin was already there and waiting in the meeting room.
"Oh, Mr. Hu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's alright, Mr. Lin is a very important person, I'll just wait a bit."
"Please sit down, please sit down."
Lin Chen made a phone call and invited Ye Qian over as well.
"Mr. Hu, this is the contract I drafted. Please take a look."
Hu Jin took a closer look and found the contract to be very professional, then smiled and said...
"Miss Ye is so young, but she is very capable. She truly deserves to be the legal director of Star Technology."
"Mr. Hu, you flatter me."
"Haha, no, no, I'm telling the truth. This contract is really professional and comprehensive."
Lin Chen added with a smile.
"That's right. Miss Ye was hired by me at a high salary, and her teacher is Professor Luo Xiang."
“Luo…”
Hu Jin swallowed hard, picked up the contract again, and read it word by word—this was the least he could do to show Luo Xiang respect.
An hour later, the two parties finally signed the contract.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Lin."
