Chapter 151: Drag
The weather is getting colder, so the office also uses a stove.
Ye Qian had no appetite recently and didn't want to eat the food in the cafeteria, so she discussed with Gu Jinyan: "Why don't we bring our own food? We have a stove anyway, so we can eat better."
Gu Jinyan was naturally willing to do so. The cafeteria only served vegetarian dishes, and even if he ordered some meat dishes, they wouldn't taste good. Ye Qian had also spoiled his stomach, and he was becoming more and more picky. When he heard about bringing his own food, he naturally agreed: "Okay, it's better to bring your own food."
Ye Qian has her own space. She can make extra food when cooking at night, put it in the space after packing it, and take it out the next day. In fact, she can take it out directly at noon so that she doesn’t even need to heat it up. However, Ye Qian doesn’t have much involvement with Gu Jinyan at work. This will not be good for his image, so she tries not to look for him at work.
Gu Jinyan sometimes felt that Ye Qian was too sensible, but he felt happy in his heart when she thought about him in this way.
The next day, before leaving, Ye Qian did not forget that Gu Jinyan liked sweet things, so she filled a bottle with milk tea powder and asked him to shake a spoonful with water and drink it while eating at noon. The two of them took their lunch boxes and went to the unit.
Dong Jing looked a little surprised and asked, "Why did you bring food with you?"
"Yes, we are using the stove now. Wouldn't it be perfect to bring the leftovers from home for lunch?" Ye Qian explained.
Jiang Sha asked, "You still care about these leftovers?"
These two people have no burdens at home, have high salaries, and yet they are so frugal.
"It's shameful to waste food. We can't do that. Leftovers are also food and can't be wasted." Ye Qian said.
Everyone nodded in unison. Even through the lunch boxes, one could smell the aroma of meat. It was true that the food was better when there was no burden at home.
That was because they didn't go to Ye Qian's house for dinner. There was meat for every meal at home. It was a good thing for an average family to have meat once a month. It was no wonder that Gu Jinyan doubted himself before since they ate like this.
After they finished talking, they started their work. The weather was getting colder and the work was getting busier as the New Year approached.
Naturally, more and more people are getting married. After Ye Qian came to work here, Xu Yaoyao was responsible for the task of issuing work letters. Now that she has become the team leader, this job is handed over to her again.
However, Ye Qian discovered a treasure boy, Kong Anping. His articles were very well written and thoughtful, and they were obviously written by people of this era. Then Ye Qian handed the work of the blackboard newspaper to Kong Anping.
Kong Anping is naturally very happy to have a job, because with work tasks he can slowly demonstrate his value and prevent others from ignoring him.
But Lu Li was different. He seemed to be a broken jar. If they didn't give it, then they didn't give it. He just sat there happily. No one knew what he was doing there every day. He was either in a daze or daydreaming.
After Ye Qian finished writing the letter of introduction, she took out her lunch box and walked to the stove at noon. The lunch box was naturally in its current appearance. She had many of them in her space, all of which she had bought before. They were made of iron and heated up after being placed on the stove for a while.
Ye Qian turned the food over while heating it up, otherwise it would be burnt on the bottom and cold on the top. Ye Qian closed her door, but the fragrance still wafted from far away, and people passing by would say, "It smells so good." Ye Qian was afraid that someone would open the door and see what she was eating.
Ye Qian felt that it was not very convenient with so many people coming and going here, so she decided to just take an empty lunch box and eat directly from the space at noon.
It shouldn't be a problem with Gu Jinyan. He has an office all to himself, and it's upstairs, so no one will go up there.
Ye Qian's guess was correct. No one came to Gu Jinyan's side. He was heating up his own food on the stove. It smelled really good. She was drooling while heating the food. After the food was heated and placed on the table, she remembered the milk tea powder she had this morning and made herself a cup with hot water.
After adding the milk tea powder to hot water, the fragrance rushed straight to the nose. Gu Jinyan took a sip and his eyes lit up. What kind of magical milk tea is this? It tastes so good.
Gu Jinyan sat alone in the office eating and drinking, which made life difficult for the secretary in another office.
Usually, the secretary would help Gu Jinyan get his meals, but today, Director Gu didn't have to get his meals herself. She came late today and thought something had happened, and she felt very strange. But when it was time for dinner, the aroma came out, first the aroma of meat, and then the sweet aroma of milk. She didn't expect that the director had brought his own meals. The secretary swallowed his saliva and decided to go downstairs to eat.
Both of them were very satisfied with the meal. After eating, Ye Qian cleaned her lunch box and put it away.
The next day, Ye Qian had learned her lesson. She took an empty lunch box as a cover and took it out from the space after everyone left at noon. This way, fewer passers-by would complain about the delicious food.
But after lunch, everyone could still smell the fragrance left by Ye Qian's meal in the house. This went on for several days. Ye Qian also opened the windows to ventilate, but the smell still remained inside.
Dong Jing couldn't help but ask, "I can smell meat every day. Your food is pretty good. Do you have any channels to buy meat?"
Ye Qian thought about it carefully. After coming here, she seemed to have sold many things, but she didn't seem to have sold food. So she said to Dong Jing directly, "I just got it from there. They have everything there, but they can't take too much at a time."
Dong Jing and Jiang Sha were delighted when they heard this: "Can you bring us some meat and food?"
"Sure, we have canned food and other things as well." Ye Qian nodded in agreement. There were indeed quite a few in her space, including canned food, fruits, meat, and fish. They were hardly touched. After she and Gu Jinyan got together, they ate everything fresh and she had forgotten about these things.
When they heard about canned food, they couldn't hide their smiles. They immediately ordered 20 kilograms of fine grains, 5 kilograms of fat meat, two bottles of fruit, fish, and meat cans from Ye Qian.
Ye Qian promised the two of them that she would bring it to them after work the next day and asked them to wait at the door. As for how they would take it back, that was not within her scope of thought. She was not living in the dormitory now, so if she wanted it delivered early, it would have to be delivered a long time in advance. She was a little reluctant. She didn't know what was wrong with her recently, but she was particularly sleepy and had a poor appetite. If she had to get up early, wouldn't that be asking for her life?
After get off work, I talked about this with Gu Jinyan, and Gu Jinyan just said with concern: "Just be careful."
Ye Qian nodded and agreed that it was necessary to be careful. Only when she had space would she avoid exposing her true identity and dragging down Gu Jinyan.
