Chapter 139 He's got some skills
"Lin Dang, you can't stay silent, you have to be the judge!" Song Ji-hyo couldn't win the argument with Hwang Yeon-yeon, so she turned her attention to me.
In front of the two of them, I actually acted like a peacemaker, like a parent would.
"How about this, today happens to be Friday. Does your Dr. Zhao need to be on duty? If not, he can come over after get off work. And does your CEO Chen need to work overtime? If not, he can come over too. Don't say who did it, let them be the judges. What do you two think?"
“Okay, no problem, my Dr. Zhao will definitely know which one I had done.”
"How could someone like me, who has already taken several baking classes, lose to a complete newbie like you?"
Sigh, another round of boyfriend-related competition has begun. I really regret starting this topic, so I'll just quietly play along.
However, the desserts the two made were actually quite presentable. Yan Yan made a durian mille-feuille, and Song Ji-hyo made a matcha cake. Although they didn't look very appealing, they were quite impressive for first-timers. I wonder how they tasted.
"Xiao Song, you know the combination to my safe, right? There's not much cash in it, but there are a few insurance policies, and you're the beneficiary. You've seen them, haven't you? That's why I'm here today to test the poison." Zhao Zhengyu really tarnished the image of a doctor; his words were truly irritating.
"Don't worry, I've already tested the poison on myself. It won't kill you, but if you choose the wrong one, I can't rule out making a fortune."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it~" Zhao Zhengyu took a small bite of durian mille-feuille with a blank expression, then took a bite of matcha cake, his entire face contorting in pain.
Seeing Zhao Zhengyu's expression, I noticed that Song Ji-hyo's fists were clenched tightly together.
"It's so delicious! This matcha cake must have been made by my Ji-hyo." Zhao Zhengyu's face instantly turned fawning.
"Really, Jo Jung-woo, I love you so much~" Song Ji-hyo threw herself into his arms, still as shameless as ever at thirty years old.
As usual, Chen Weiqi remained calm and quietly ate his durian mille-feuille. Yan Yan stared at him with a lovestruck expression. Chen Weiqi's actions clearly indicated that Huang Yan Yan had made it, and that it tasted pretty good and was one of her favorites.
"If you like it, you can eat it all~" Song Ji-hyo, who was showing off her love to Jo Jung-woo, suddenly handed the whole matcha cake to him.
"Haha~" We burst into laughter. It really is true that "you reap what you sow".
Huang Yanyan and Song Zhixiao's visit was like a spice in life, making the atmosphere at home much more lively, and the unpleasantness that had occurred in the past two days had also vanished.
Early Monday morning, Chu Zhen and I arrived at the "Before Dawn" office on time.
"Sister Lin Dang, are you alright? Let me see~" Xiao Xiao pulled me around and around, and only hugged me after making sure I was really okay. "Sister, you've lost weight again. Tell me how you did it."
"Xiao Xiao, you're so plump and radiant from being in love, it's not something you can just lose weight easily~" Ai Min teased.
“If that’s the case, Sister Lin Dang is practically living in a honeypot of love. Look, Boss Chu’s eyes haven’t left Sister Lin Dang at all.” Xiao Xiao glanced at Chu Zhen, whose eyes were now fixed on me.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I brought gifts for everyone. Xiao Xiao, go and distribute them." I gave the gifts to Xiao Xiao. As soon as they heard there were gifts, the office erupted in excitement again, and everyone rushed to Xiao Xiao's side. I was able to relax and followed Chu Zhen into the office.
Chu Zhen's office has remained unchanged, simple, clean, and easy to see. Xiao Xiao once told me that a man like him is definitely devoted in relationships. He doesn't need any embellishment, and he treats relationships the same way. It seems to make a lot of sense.
"What are you laughing at?" He probably just remembered what Xiao Xiao said and a smile naturally appeared on his face.
"Nothing much. By the way, are there any interviews currently underway? I'd like to participate."
"Don't go out for now. Do some text editing work, and then get involved in the project later."
I understand what Chu Zhen is saying. We are currently at the center of the Cao Kun incident. In addition, Huang Yanyan sent a lawyer's letter to several media outlets last time. I may not be a household name in City A, but I am at least "famous" in the media industry. The most important thing is that, I don't know who, has turned the blame into "a radio reporter seducing media tycoon Cao Kun and suing Cao Kun because the terms were not agreed upon".
After leaving the office, I asked Aimin to find me some things to do. I couldn't just take a salary for nothing. More importantly, work can make you forget about other things.
"Lin Dang, my darling, let's have lunch together~" Song Ji-hyo knew I was at work, so she came to my office to ask me out for lunch. Ai Min didn't make me anything this morning, and Chu Zhen was out again, so I went to the cafeteria with Song Ji-hyo.
I arrived at work early this morning and didn't run into any colleagues. However, when I got to the cafeteria, I noticed that people were looking at me strangely.
"Lin Dang, we have sweet and sour pork ribs today, I'll get you a serving~" Song Ji-hyo was carefree and didn't pay attention to those things.
"There's even braised pork! The food's pretty good today. Did you know Lin Dang is back?" Song Ji-hyo was busy putting food on my plate. "And some smoked fish. You're too thin. Zhao Zhengyu said someone like you needs to eat more red meat. Red meat? Right, fish is white meat. Never mind, let's get beef instead. Hmm, and some vegetables too. Lin Dang, is broccoli okay?"
"Okay, that's about enough~" Song Ji-hyo kept serving me food, as if she could fatten me up in one meal.
"Okay, fine~" Song Ji-hyo glanced at my plate and seemed quite satisfied with the combination.
We found a seat by the window and sat down.
"They really have a strong mentality. If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to go back to China, even if I were still at work." I had just sat down when I heard a discussion at the table behind me.
“She has powerful backers, so what’s there to be ashamed of? Her husband is a producer, so she can do whatever she wants. Unlike us, who go to work in constant fear. She, on the other hand, often gets into trouble, but she can still stay in the industry.”
"Have you heard? The president of the Huang Group has sued many media companies and is demanding compensation from them."
"Yes, I heard about it. That's why we can't compare with others. My friend at the newspaper said that when he was at the newspaper, he had a special relationship with that old director."
"I have to say, this woman is quite capable. She knows Cao Gang. He liked her back then. Later, she used Cao Gang to get together with Chu Zhen and then dumped Cao Gang."
"Really? How come I didn't know about this? Can any of you tell me about it?" Song Ji-hyo had already been tempted to smash the table several times, but I managed to hold her back. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao suddenly appeared.
