The next morning, Yan Xiuzhi came down from the building at nine o'clock on time.
He was already fully armed in a suit and tie, ready to go out, but when he went downstairs, the gorgeous roses in the living room caught his eye.
The air was also filled with the aroma of coffee.
"Ah, you're leaving?"
Zhou Ziyi came out of the room, still in his pajamas, and said lazily, "I got up to make you a simple breakfast, but there was nothing in your refrigerator. I did find a coffee machine and coffee beans, and made some hand-ground coffee. Would you like a cup?"
Yan Xiuji didn't blame him for moving things, he just glanced at it, and then turned to leave: "No, the driver is downstairs."
"I knew you would say that. Wait for me for ten seconds." Zhou Ziyi walked quickly into the kitchen, then took out a small bag and a cup - the kind with an insulated cover. "Your coffee set comes with this coffee cup. It's ready for you. Take it. The lid is tightly closed, so it won't spill. I don't know if you add sugar to your coffee, but I don't put any in it. If you want sugar, add it yourself."
Yan Xiuji didn't want to take it, but Zhou Ziyi stuffed it into his hand without saying anything: "Have a safe journey, President Yan."
Then the young man turned around and went back to his room, even quicker than Yan Xiuji. Yan Xiuji looked at his back, then at the coffee in his hand, and subconsciously put the set of things on top of the cabinet next to him.
But coffee is really delicious; the aroma of hand-ground coffee can easily fill an entire floor.
Yan Xiuji walked to the door, his hand on the door handle, the smell of coffee still lingered. He stood there silently for a few seconds, closed his eyes, and turned back to grab the coffee.
Go out.
***
That morning, Li Fei was shocked to see her boss carrying a cup to work.
After thinking it over, she finally knocked on the door and asked, "Boss Yan, are you still going to order breakfast today?"
Yan Xiuji glanced at her, as if he had heard some nonsense: "Decided."
Li Fei silently sniffed the scent of coffee in the air, looked at the cup on his desk, and found that the lid had been opened.
——Oh, it smells so good!
"Okay." Li Fei couldn't figure out who the cup was from a distance. While guessing the origin of the coffee, she replied, "It's still the same, but we don't need the coffee, right?"
Yan Xiuji: “Yeah.”
Li Fei nodded and retreated. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly heard Yan Xiuji say from inside: "Wait a minute."
Li Fei stood back up: "What?"
Yan Xiuji looked at the coffee on the table, was silent for a second, and then said, "Find some sugar."
Li Fei confirmed: "Sugar for coffee?"
Yan Xiuji: “…Yes.”
"Okay." Li Fei paused, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss Yan, can you tell me which brand of coffee this is? It smells so good."
Yan Xiuji: “…”
Although the coffee machine and coffee beans were from his own home, the president actually didn't remember these things at all.
The CEO had no choice but to say, "Ask Zhou Ziyi."
Li Fei:!!!
"Okay." Li Fei retreated, appearing calm but shocked inside.
——I can’t help but be shocked. It sounds like this is the coffee made by Zhou Ziyi!
——Boss Yan never brought breakfast to work before, but Zhou Ziyi asked someone to bring coffee to work on the first day he moved in. Will he have to bring lunch boxes in the future?!
——Is thirty million so impressive?
Li Fei was dazed as she sent the driver the breakfast information, then wandered to the tea room to look for sugar for coffee. She happened to run into a few special assistants who were also picking up coffee here. Seeing that she only took the sugar cubes and nothing else, the special assistants came over mysteriously and asked, "Sister Fei, did President Yan really bring coffee to work this morning?"
Li Fei glanced at them: "How did you know?"
"Hey, everyone has seen it and is shocked, right?" The special assistants sighed, "But to be honest, the Moments posted by President Yan last night was more shocking. I don't have President Yan's WeChat, I saw someone else's screenshot. Does he usually post Moments in this style?"
"Are you guys gossiping?" Li Fei said, "Go back to work and don't gossip about the boss."
"Hey, the Aiqi family is not a bad person, it's nothing." The special assistants said with a smile, "Sister Fei, when the CEO's office raises funds to send President Yan a wedding gift, remember to notify us in advance."
"That's right. But I still don't know what Mr. Yan's wife looks like, and I don't know when Mr. Yan will bring his wife to attend the event. Can we bring family members to the annual meeting? Maybe there will be a chance then..."
Li Fei originally thought that since it was a contract marriage, Mr. Yan would definitely not bring anyone with him. But after thinking about the coffee she had this morning, Li Fei felt that this was not necessarily the case.
If he can bring coffee the day before, maybe he can bring people one day...right?
On the other side, Yan Xiuji looked through his Moments and found that Zhou Ziyi had just posted a message.
The text is very simple: [Someone forgot to take something. ]
The picture looks simple at first glance: white walls, a cabinet, and a small paper bag with no markings on it.
Others might not understand it, but Yan Xiuzhi knew - this was the bag of sugar that Zhou Ziyi gave him in the morning!
I forgot when I turned back to get my coffee!
Yan Xiuji stared at the screen of his mobile phone, squinted his eyes, subconsciously picked up the coffee again and took a sip, and then was once again driven back by the bitter taste.
——Tsk.
***
The day after the engagement party, Mr. Yan also worked overtime until nine o'clock before going home.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a lot of noise in the living room. I looked over and saw that the TV at home was playing a movie, rumbling and banging, making a lot of noise. Zhou Ziyi was sitting on the sofa, and a head popped out from the back of the sofa.
Hearing the noise at the door, Zhou Ziyi turned around and leaned on the back of the sofa to look at Yan Xiuji: "Oh my god, Mr. Yan, you are finally home!"
Yan Xiuji was a little confused: Are you really that excited?
Zhou Ziyi knelt on the sofa, propping up his chin: "Dear Boss Yan, have you remembered what you forgot?"
After he said this, Yan Xiuji subconsciously looked at the cabinet where he kept the sugar in the morning, but it was empty now.
Zhou Ziyi knew what he was thinking at a glance and laughed: "It's not candy! Of course, you did forget about the candy, but there is something more important!"
As he was speaking, Zhou Ziyi felt that the movie was too noisy, so he turned around and paused it.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
"Have you forgotten that there's a living person in your house, Yan Xiuji!" Zhou Ziyi put down the remote control, walked around the sofa and walked towards Yan Xiuji, "You didn't even give me the key, how can I go out?"
Yan Xiuji was stunned for a moment.
——He was used to being alone and really didn’t think about this matter.
"I was thinking of sneaking back home, but I haven't checked your study and bedroom yet, so I won't be able to report to you tomorrow, so I have to stay here. However, the security factor in your place is too high. You can't even enter the community to order takeout." Zhou Ziyi stood in front of him, "If your housekeeper hadn't come at noon and I had been able to go out to get takeout, I would have starved to death in your house, okay?"
Yan Xiuzhi didn't know how to comment on this matter.
It sounds a bit absurd, but it is not impossible.
He was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Brother, you haven't replied to any of the messages I sent you since last night. What's the point of me looking for you?" Zhou Ziyi raised his eyebrows, then spread his hands, "Keys."
He was hesitant about coming to stay yesterday, but today he asked for the key frankly. Zhou Ziyi also adjusted himself very quickly.
"...I'll find it for you." Yan Xiuji replied, "Also, the housekeeping can cook for you, so you don't have to order takeout."
"I know. I talked to Aunt Wang today and even added her on QQ. She prepared dinner and left it at home." Zhou Ziyi said, "I knew you wouldn't be home for dinner today, so I ate it by myself."
Yan Xiuji paused as he was about to go upstairs: "You asked about my schedule?"
Zhou Ziyi confessed: "I just asked Sister Fei if you were coming back for dinner. Sister Fei said you had already eaten."
"..." Yan Xiuji couldn't find any loopholes, so he said, "Don't pry into my work."
Zhou Ziyi said: "Then I will send you a message directly and ask if you will come back for dinner tonight?"
Yan Xiuji: "Don't worry about me."
Zhou Ziyi: "I don't even care whether you come back for dinner or not. How should I answer when Aunt Wang asks me how many people I work for?"
Yan Xiuji: “…”
Zhou Ziyi added: "Just reply Y or N! Simple enough, right?"
Yan Xiuji finally gave in: "...Okay."
Zhou Ziyi pressed on: "Then my information has been unblocked? Can Mr. Yan answer my questions now?"
He is very skilled at taking advantage of others.
Yan Xiuji actually read those messages, but he replied: "What's the problem?"
Zhou Ziyi smiled and said, "One is, do you want to keep the diamond ring? The other is, can you show me your study and bedroom later? I want to see what's going on."
Yan Xiuji said: "The furniture in the study and master bedroom does not need to be changed."
Zhou Ziyi said: "Then I can only say, let's see what Aunt Chu means. She said she wants to change, I can't just refuse firmly, right?"
Yan Xiuji had to give a bottom line: "Not too bright, not too fancy, not too many colors. It should be solid wood, and it should have no smell."
"'Two musts and three don'ts', remember that!" Zhou Ziyi said, "What about the diamond ring...?"
"Bring it here and lock it up together." Yan Xiuji replied and went upstairs. Zhou Ziyi pondered his words for a second, then poked his head down the stairs and asked, "Are you going to visit now?"
Yan Xiuji looked down at him and said, "Otherwise, when do you want to make the appointment?"
"No, I mean, do you want some midnight snack?" Zhou Ziyi said, "I used the ingredients left by Aunt Wang to make tomato and minced meat topping. I also have some vegetables at home. Can I make you some midnight snack?"
Yan Xiuji: “No.”
"Okay, you are really self-disciplined." Zhou Ziyi smiled, "Then why don't you come down fifteen minutes earlier tomorrow morning? I'll make you breakfast. Do you want noodles or a sandwich?"
Yan Xiuji still refused: "You don't have to do this in front of me."
"Boss Yan, there are only two of us at home, but there are other people outside." Zhou Ziyi leaned on the handrail of the stairs, "Aunt Chu sent me a message this morning asking me if you forgot to bring anything with you."
"Zhou Ziyi." Yan Xiuji stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't play tricks."
"Boss Yan, you are my financial sponsor, and you have investigated my situation thoroughly. What can I do?" Zhou Ziyi shrugged. "I have already charged you so much money, making breakfast is nothing. If you don't mind, I can even make you a lunch box. Anyway, these are the ways to show affection."
Yan Xiuji asked, "Did you treat your previous employers the same way?"
Zhou Ziyi blinked: "I'm not staying overnight at their house."
Yan Xiuji: “…”
Zhou Ziyi asked again: "So, sandwich or noodles?"
Yan Xiuji looked at him for a few seconds.
"……casual."
