Tao Zhizhi went from being embarrassed and looking around to staring intently, unaware that she had been discovered.
Fu Jue glanced at Tao Zhizhi and sensed the change in her gaze. He lowered his hair and smiled, letting out a soft "heh" as if he had discovered something interesting. With a lazy air, he slowly drifted toward Tao Zhizhi, who was not far away.
Upon hearing this voice, Tao Zhizhi's face flushed bright red. Her eyes darted around, and she quickly looked down at her phone. All that could be seen on the cashier was her high bun.
Fu Jue stared at the full bun for a few seconds, then looked away and continued enjoying the food in front of him.
It was past lunchtime, and pedestrians who were out shopping and digesting their food noticed this handsome man in a small food stall. They deliberately went into the store, ordered a dish, and left it there.
Fu Jue's outstanding appearance brought her many customers, and the warm food stall also gained some loyal fans, but it was hard on her.
Seeing this, Fu Jue was somewhat displeased, because Tao Zhizhi had not returned to the lobby since their arrival, and he himself had ordered too much, which he felt was wasteful, so he took the initiative to contact Secretary Gu.
Secretary Gu was overjoyed upon receiving the message. This was the first time his CEO had contacted him after sneaking away so many times. He sighed inwardly: "The CEO still cares about me." [wiping tears with a handkerchief.jpg]
Secretary Gu set off on his shared electric scooter with a whoosh.
When he arrived at the location shown in the GPS, he was puzzled. Although President Fu occasionally asked him to try some street food, he usually went to high-end restaurants for his main meals. Why would he come to a small shop in the old town?
However, once he entered the shop, he discovered something even more surprising.
Fu Jue calculated the time and realized it was time for him to leave. He asked Su Bai to pack up the remaining dishes for him. At that moment, Tao Zhizhi lifted the curtain and came out to pour herself a glass of water.
He looked up and saw Tao Zhizhi's lips glistening through the water, like smooth, tender peach jelly. Fu Jue's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He walked towards her with light steps, a pleasant voice asking in a soft tone:
"Boss? Could I add your contact information?"
Tao Zhizhi turned her head at the sound, her peach blossom eyes filled with shock, her lips trembling slightly, unable to say a word of refusal as she looked at that face.
Fu Jue seemed worried that she would refuse, so he quickly added, "Uh, I didn't mean anything by it. I've tried your food and I'd like to order from you."
"Okay, sure."
Tao Zhizhi realized she had misunderstood, her face flushed, her eyes became evasive, and she unconsciously gripped the cup tightly, trying to steady her voice:
"Please send a message with the specific quantity, address, and time."
Tao Zhizhi held up her phone and, almost unconsciously, handed over her personal contact information. Fu Jue quickly scanned the code, as if worried that she would immediately regret it.
Fu Jue guessed correctly. After realizing what was happening, Tao Zhizhi tapped her head. She was already overwhelmed with orders from her own shop plus takeout, and then she had to add private orders on top of that. She muttered to herself, "Beauty is a curse!"
But she wouldn't regret it, because her blushing face had already proven everything.
As soon as Secretary Gu entered, he saw his beloved CEO Fu standing in front of a girl asking for her contact information. His eyes widened, and he seemed somewhat at a loss, as if he was wondering whether he should go over there at this moment.
Of course, as an excellent secretary, based on his rich theoretical experience, he decided that if he chose to find Su Bai to pay for President Fu's business, he should not go and disturb him.
When Fu Jue and Tao Zhizhi had finished chatting, Secretary Gu stepped forward to take the packing bag and gently urged him to leave, since there was a meeting waiting for him in the afternoon, and Secretary Gu couldn't do it for him.
Fu Jue frowned, somewhat impatient with Secretary Gu, but the two of them had nothing to talk about right now. After leaving the shop, he pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Secretary Gu, sometimes it doesn't have to be so quick."
Secretary Gu was speechless. She could only follow behind President Fu, weakly waving her fist and her lips moving, as if she was saying something bad about him.
"drive!"
"Hey, here it comes."
Secretary Gu's expression changed upon hearing the voice; she stepped forward with a smile, her demeanor somewhat obsequious.
——
Tao Zhizhi stared blankly at her phone in the store. The screen displayed Fu Jue's chat interface, and his profile picture was an amber-colored wood-grained violin, elegant and mysterious.
On the other side, Fu Jue was also looking at the interface. Tao Zhizhi's profile picture was a little girl with her hair in a bun eating a pink peach, which looked a lot like her.
Secretary Gu was a capable assistant assigned to him by Chairman Fu. Knowing his own personality, he stopped pretending to be aloof and serious and said in a light tone, "Come dine here from now on."
"Okay." Secretary Gu understood perfectly, her eyes revealing the shock that her boss was about to steal her away.
"You said home is... *beep*"
"Zhizhi! I'm going on a business trip. Guess where I'm going?"
Lan Xin's boisterous voice came through the receiver, her undisguised joy revealing nothing.
Tao Zhizhi played with her, pretending not to notice her expression as she came looking for her, and asked suspiciously, "Emmm... let me guess, is it G City?"
"You're teasing me again. You definitely know it's Qingshui City."
There was a rustling sound coming from Lan Xin's side; now the time couldn't be hidden anymore. Tao Zhizhi sent a message to her parents, telling them that Lan Xin had arrived.
"Zhizhi, do you remember I said I would promote your shop? This time I specially changed my business trip to Qingshui, and I also came to visit you."
"Of course I remember! When our great anchor Lan comes over, I'll gladly offer her everything! (●'?'●)"
The two chatted for an hour before Tao Zhizhi had to get to work because of a food delivery order, and she reluctantly hung up the phone.
Su Bai also stepped forward in confusion: "Zhizhi, there are so many orders, all from the commercial area."
Tao Zhizhi realized that the customers must have come from the lunch delivery. Each customer would order two or three servings of rice, so it was likely a group order.
She guessed correctly. The employees of Tianyi Marketing Department were eagerly anticipating Guo Qiang's lunch delivery, but after browsing the prices, someone created a group: Warm Food Shop Group (36).
[Group Owner: @All Members This group is for voluntary group buying, and we follow the principle of splitting the bill equally.]
[I won't change my name until I lose 10 pounds: Two girls, all in?]
[My recommendation is the best: Me! Me! Me!]
[Yu Er is very satisfied: Add 1!]
[Qiangzi Buguang: I'll have one too, two people!]
......
Through voluntary group buying, a total of ten takeout orders were purchased, with everyone getting a serving of braised pork trotters. Upon seeing this, Tao Zhizhi quickly bought the [Unbelievably Light Pot] she had her eye on. She reached out and tapped: [Purchase successful, please check! Remember to give a five-star review (*′?｀*)! ].
Tao Zhizhi skillfully tossed the pot, requiring no effort at all, instantly freeing up her arm muscles.
