"Come in."

Luo Xiyun was reading documents with his head down. When he heard the knock on the door, he didn't even raise his head.

Secretary Guo came in and asked, "Boss Luo, is lunch still the same as usual today?"

"It's already noon." Luo Xiyun looked up at the time. It was exactly twelve o'clock. He put down the documents in his hand and said, "No need. I have to go out at noon. Don't prepare lunch for me."

"Okay." Secretary Guo saw that she had no other instructions, so he turned and left.

Luo Xiyun put a label on the document, sorted out his things, picked up his bag and walked out of the office.

After picking up the car at the underground parking lot, she drove to a nearby sports brand store, took out the photo and asked the waiter, "Do you have shoes of this style?"

The waiter took a look, nodded and said, "Yes, please come over here."

Luo Xiyun followed her into the store and walked to a display area. The waiter took a pair of display shoes and handed it to her. She compared them carefully and found that they were indeed the same style. She said, "I want a pair of size 42. Do you have them in stock?"

"some."

"Open the bill."

Luo Xiyun walked to the cashier and was about to pay the bill when his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Liu Yumeng calling, "I haven't eaten yet. Um, I'm outside. Are you in the company? Why didn't you call in advance... Okay, see you later."

She hung up the phone. The waiter had already packed her shoes. She paid and left with the bag.

Ten minutes later, she came to a nearby restaurant she often visited and met Liu Yumeng.

Liu Yumeng went on a business trip a while ago and we haven't seen each other for a while.

"You don't look well?" Liu Yumeng looked at her and said.

"I didn't sleep well last night." When Luo Xiyun was mentioned by her, she couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Liu Yumeng said, "You just work too hard."

"What would you like to eat?" Luo Xiyun picked up the menu and changed the subject.

"Let me see..."

…………

After finishing their meal, the two walked out of the restaurant and got into Luo Xiyun's car.

"What is this?" Liu Yumeng saw the shopping bag on the back seat, picked it up and looked at it, and asked curiously, "Sneakers? That's what you just bought. You didn't buy it for me, did you?"

She smiled and was about to open it. Luo Xiyun next to her took the bag back, put it on the back seat, and said, "It's not for you."

Liu Yumeng looked at her suspiciously and said, "There must be something wrong. It's a men's model, right? Tell me the truth, is it for a man?"

Luo Xiyun felt a little regretful. If he had known, he should have put it in the trunk. It was hard to explain such a thing, so he could only say, "I wore it myself."

Liu Yumeng exposed her mercilessly, "You're lying. The smallest size for men's shoes is usually size 39, and you're wearing size 37."

“I bought the junior size.”

"I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

Liu Yumeng said she didn't believe it, but she didn't try to snatch the shoes to verify it, fearing that she would lose face. She didn't mention the matter again, and quickly turned to what she had seen and heard during this business trip.

After returning to the company, Luo Xiyun said to her, "I still have a lot of things to do here. Why don't you go back first."

She sat back in her chair and stuffed her shoes into an empty drawer.

"Just do your thing."

Liu Yumeng had no intention of leaving. She took a magazine, sat on a chair, and began to read it with relish.

Luo Xiyun glanced at her, ignored her, and went about his own business.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Luo Xiyun said.

Liu Yumeng looked up and saw a man and a woman coming in. She knew the woman very well, she was Secretary Guo, but she didn't know the man. At first glance, he looked average. He should be Luo Xiyun's subordinate.

The two of them came to report their work to Luo Xiyun, but she was not interested in listening. She glanced at Luo Xiyun, but suddenly froze, her focus fixed on Xiyun's crossed fingers.

She turned her head and looked at the man again, and finally saw something different about him. Although he was not handsome, he was quite attractive.

She has known Luo Xiyun for many years and is very familiar with some of her little movements. When she is nervous, she will cross the fingers of both hands together like she does now.

The two people who came to report were just some ordinary work, which definitely wouldn't make her nervous. Secretary Guo had been following her for so long, so it was even more impossible. So, there was only one answer.

After a while, the two finished reporting their work and left.

A few minutes later, Liu Yumeng said, "I'm going to the bathroom," and ran out to find Secretary Guo. She pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Who is that man?"

"Oh, you mean Assistant Chen. He is Mr. Luo's assistant."

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I was just transferred here after the new department was established."

Liu Yumeng said, "Your company is really something. Why did you arrange a male assistant?"

Secretary Guo knew that she was a good friend of Mr. Luo, and thought it was nothing that could not be said, so he said, "He was the person that Mr. Luo personally requested."

Liu Yumeng's eyes lit up, knowing that she was close to the answer.

"So that's how it is. Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

She returned to the office, said something to Luo Xiyun, and left.

…………

Before he knew it, it was time to get off work again. Luo Xiyun didn't sleep for several hours last night. In the afternoon, he began to yawn frequently. After work, he asked Secretary Guo to go back first and called Chen Xu in again.

She put the shoes she bought at noon on the table and said, "I accidentally scratched your shoes, so I bought you a new pair."

"Oh." Chen Xu stepped forward, picked up the bag, and said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait." Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Xiyun hurriedly stopped him, "Um, about what happened last night, I..."

Bang.

At this time, the door opened from the outside, Liu Yumeng walked in and said, "Hi." But her eyes looked at the shopping bag in Chen Xu's hand, and her smile became even brighter.

"You... why are you here?" Luo Xiyun saw her suddenly barge in, and for some reason, she felt a little flustered.

Liu Yumeng blinked and said, "I'll pick you up."

"Mr. Luo, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." After saying this, Chen Xu left the office.

"You..." Luo Xiyun felt embarrassed as if his lie had been exposed.

Liu Yumeng smiled and said, "So the shoes are given to employees. As a boss, it is reasonable to care about your subordinates."

Luo Xiyun stared at her for a while, sighed softly, and said, "Let's go."

Liu Yumeng was like this, she liked to say some weird things, but she was very serious. It was hard to tell whether she was being sarcastic or not.
