Chapter 574 Osmanthus Fish
Secretary Ding was about to leave with a large thermos cup when the chef spoke.
"Miss Secretary, will our wife eat in the cafeteria today?"
Secretary Ding was stunned for a moment. "Oh, I really don't know. The secretary-general told me that my wife had severe morning sickness a few days ago. I don't know if she can eat steamed dishes or rice now."
"I can make a dish that's quite appetizing. If we were to eat here every day, I'd make it now."
Secretary Ding quickly took out his phone and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask you."
"Okay, okay."
Secretary Ding called the secretary's office. "Hello, this is Xiao Ding. Could you please ask my wife if she's having lunch at the company today? The head chef said he has a dish that's particularly appetizing, especially for pregnant women. I thought if my wife is having lunch at the company, I'd ask him to prepare it now."
"Okay, go ask for me..."
Secretary Ding held up his phone, glanced at Jiang Hui and smiled slightly.
After a while, the voice of a colleague came from the other side.
"My wife fell asleep, but Mr. Zhou told him to do it and if he did a good job, he would give him a raise!"
Secretary Ding turned to look at the head chef when he heard this. "Brother, the wife is asleep, but Mr. Zhou asked you to make it. He said he'll give you a raise if you do it well!"
"Really? Okay, okay, I'll do it right away. I guarantee your wife will have a good appetite!" The chef said as he happily began to prepare.
Secretary Ding nodded to Jiang Hui before leaving.
"Then Director Jiang, I'll go up first."
Jiang Hui nodded gently, "Okay, see you next time."
"See you next time."
Secretary Ding continued chatting, "The wife fell asleep on the sofa?"
"Are you saying that Mr. Zhou unplugged all the office phone lines?"
"I know, I know. He must be worried that the phone will ring and disturb his wife's nap..."
Jiang Hui stood there listening to the sound getting farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.
She clenched her palms tightly, and finally slowly let go.
So, she felt that Zhou Chen treated her a little differently, as if he was taking care of her, and this was not her illusion.
He was indeed taking care of her, but that was because he knew her identity.
Fortunately, she still thought it was her own fault and that she was treated specially because of herself.
It turned out that she was overthinking...
She couldn't help but think of the last words her mother said to her.
"I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother to you before, but I'm very attentive to them. I take care of them like my own children. Xiaohui, Achen, and Xiaoge are all grateful people. They know you're my child, so they give you certain privileges and help in your career. That's why Mom didn't want you to stay in Zhou Corporation in the first place..."
"It's my job to take care of them with my high salary, so I don't want you to stay in Hong Kong. Because as long as you are in Hong Kong, they will definitely give you some help."
"But then I thought about it carefully. We've been friends for so many years, and since they're willing to help you, you should seize the opportunity and do your best. Don't embarrass me. I believe you can do it, and I support you now."
But even so, Jiang Hui was not happy at all.
She didn't know why
What? She just asked after hearing these words.
"Mom, does Xu Ge like jewelry?"
"She's not very interested in jewelry. Every year for her birthday, Achen would give her some, but I've never seen her wear them. She didn't even wear them when she went abroad. She's not very interested in jewelry or diamonds."
Jiang Hui took a deep breath. It was obvious that Xu Ge had no interest in jewelry, but after seeing her resume, she suddenly mentioned her interest in jewelry. The idea of making jewelry came to her after reading her resume.
Did she know her identity at that time?
Jiang Hui didn't know how she should feel. She should feel happy.
After all, she has a good biological mother, so she has the opportunity she has today.
Even if she chose not to return to China at that time, her opportunities would definitely not be as good as they are now.
She is now the jewelry design director and also the top brand of Zhou Group.
You are many times stronger than others when you start.
It can be said that as long as her designs do not fail, her career will not fail either.
"Hey, beautiful lady, you just said you wanted to order food, right? How many servings do you want to order? 6_666"
Jiang Hui came back to her senses. "Ten servings, please. I'm from the jewelry design department. Someone will come to pick up the food later."
"Okay, no problem."
Jiang Hui nodded, turned around and left.
During the time she had been at Zhou's, she felt that her state of mind seemed to have changed a lot.
Especially about the two of them.
She just didn't know what was wrong with her.
But she was clear about one thing, she wanted to get other people's attention.
So she really needs to work hard. Since it is a special care for her, she naturally has to make good use of it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity and the Zhou family's power, he climbed up step by step.
Xu Ge woke up because of the smell.
She opened her eyes dazedly and saw someone in a chef's uniform.
"Hmm?"
"My wife is awake."
Zhou Chen looked up after hearing the voice.
Seconds later, he stood up and walked over, leaned over to help her up from the sofa, and let her lean on him.
"I woke up and it smelled so good. Why does it smell so good? What's that smell?"
After hearing this, the chef quickly said, "This is a dish from our hometown, called Osmanthus Fish, it's best for pregnant women."
"Fish?" Xu Ge's expression changed slightly. She rubbed her eyes and said, "But I will vomit if I eat fish."
"Ma'am, believe me, you won't throw up after eating this fish. It's just called that; it's actually fish."
"Ah? You mean Osmanthus fish isn't made of fish?"
"That's what I mean."
Zhou Chen tidied up her messy hair by her ears and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Only then did Xu Ge notice that there were a few quite refreshing appetizers on the coffee table, but no fish or meat.
Although Xu Ge hadn't eaten it yet, he felt comfortable just looking at it. At least he didn't feel like vomiting.
"I'm a little hungry. I had a bowl of porridge and a bowl of egg cake this morning."
"But, do you want to eat these with me?"
"Yeah, let's eat together."
"Why don't you go eat in the cafeteria?"
"No, let's eat together. If you can eat it, why can't I? Besides, you have such a delicate mouth now, the food you can eat must taste good. I can't miss it."
Xu Ge couldn't help laughing when he saw him say no so nicely.
"Okay, let's eat together."
Seeing this, the chef quickly said, "Then I'll go get busy and not disturb Mr. Zhou and his wife's meal."
Xu Ge smiled and nodded at the man, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, ma'am."
Xu Ge glanced at the thermos cup and asked, "What's in it?"
"Sour plum soup, would you like some?"
"Drink!" What Xu Ge drinks the most recently is sour plum soup.
