Chapter 24: The boss comes to buy spicy hot pot every day. WeChat received three thousand...
"Ah? Well... we have set meals, and you can also choose your own..." Su Yinuo said in a low voice, and handed over a stainless steel square plate with trembling hands.
Qin Cangye couldn't help laughing, stretched out the hand wearing the top luxury watch, and took the plate.
It was the first time that Su Yinuo saw the combination of leather gloves and stainless steel plates. Looking at the big hands with distinct joints even in the gloves, she sighed in her heart: Ah, my plates have become a lot more high-end.
Qin Cangye walked to the vegetable rack and picked a few bunches of vegetables very elegantly.
Su Yinuo sighed again: Ah, my stall has become a lot more high-end...
Watching Qin Cangye finish selecting dishes at the "three-star Michelin" spicy hot pot stall, Su Yinuo quickly took the plate he handed over and deftly placed the ingredients into the colander. Then, with her head lowered, she whispered, "Please wait a moment. It will only be ready in ten minutes."
"No rush."
The atmosphere was awkward and awkward. Qin Cangye stared at Su Yinuo, his expression unnaturally gentle. Su Yinuo stared at the soup pot, not even daring to raise her head. Ji Wenjun looked from Qin Cangye to Su Yinuo, feeling as if some kind of barrier had formed around them, completely blocking him out!
So, he sneered in dissatisfaction, "Wow, our President Qin, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, is actually eating at this kind of street stall?"
Qin Cangye frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "It's all food, what's there to not eat? Are you dissatisfied with Aunt Zhang's unhygienic cooking?"
Ji Wenjun was startled and quickly explained, "No!" He looked at Su Yinuo in panic and explained, "I didn't, Yinuo..."
Hearing the word "Ruo", Su Yinuo was startled and quickly interrupted him, urging: "You should go to work!"
"I..." Ji Wenjun was hit hard and turned away with a gloomy face.
Su Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stir the ingredients in the colander with long chopsticks. After cooking, she put them into the seasoning pot and asked, "Do you want it spicy?"
“Slightly spicy.”
"Want some cilantro?"
"don't want."
"Where are the chives?"
"Can."
"Want some sesame sauce?"
Without waiting for an answer, Su Yinuo looked up in confusion and saw Qin Cangye staring at the bowl of sesame paste with an inquiring look.
Feeling Su Yinuo's gaze, Qin Cangye quickly looked up and said awkwardly, "I've never eaten it before. What flavor is it?"
There are actually things Qin Cangye has never eaten! !
Su Yinuo became excited and explained with a little pride, "Ah, I made this sesame paste myself! I added a little more sesame paste to peanut butter, a little fermented bean curd, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. It's fresh but not salty, rich but not greasy!"
Su Yinuo took a clean disposable spoon, dipped a little on it, and handed it to Qin Cangye, "Try it!"
She wanted to hand the spoon to Qin Cangye, but she didn't expect Qin Cangye to bend down and lick the sesame paste on the spoon.
This... is a bit ambiguous...
Su Yinuo's face turned red in an instant.
"It's delicious, add some more!" Qin Cangye said with a smile.
"Okay, okay..." Su Yinuo quickly withdrew her hand, quickly adjusted the seasoning, packed the spicy hot pot, and handed it to Qin Cangye.
Su Yinuo was so nervous that she even forgot to count the money. When she saw Qin Cangye scanning the code, she said in a panic, "Ah... probably, uh, twenty..."
"Three thousand yuan has arrived via WeChat."
A sweet electronic sound rang out behind him. Su Yinuo was startled and said quickly, "Well, it's not that expensive, it's not that expensive. You paid too much, sir. You paid too much. I'll transfer it back to you!"
"No, just a tip," Qin Cangye smiled and gently shook the food box in his hand, "Goodbye, Aunt Zhang. If it tastes good, I'll come again next time." After that, he turned around and left gracefully, heading towards Building No. 5.
Su Yinuo stood there in a daze.
It took a while for my mind to start thinking.
What just happened? Qin Cangye bought a bowl of spicy hot pot worth three thousand yuan from me?
Am I dreaming?
Su Yinuo quickly took out her cell phone and was shocked to see the three thousand yuan bill.
It's not a dream...
But why did he give me so much money?
Did he recognize me?
But he didn't say anything...
Clicking on the bill details, Su Yinuo was stunned again because she saw the familiar cactus head...
The person who bought my mother's handicrafts yesterday was actually Qin Cangye!
Could it be that Qin Cangye really recognized me? Or... was it all just a coincidence?
The next day, Qin Cangye came again.
Su Yinuo only set up shop for half a day on Sunday, and Qin Cangye showed up just as she was about to close the stall in the afternoon. His hair was a little messy, and he had obviously rushed over. Su Yinuo was stunned for a moment and said, "We're going to close the stall today, and there aren't many vegetables left."
"It's okay, I'll just have something simple. Aunt Zhang cooks very deliciously," Qin Cangye said in a very gentle voice. "I ate it once and I missed it terribly."
Su Yinuo was stunned again and handed over the plate slowly.
Qin Cangye, who is cold-tempered and easily angered, could not be so gentle to a strange spicy hot pot aunt, so the answer is obvious.
He recognized me again, but he didn't want to expose me. He wanted to hide me under another identity and continue to get along with me as he did before.
But...should I cooperate with him?
Su Yinuo was extremely conflicted, her mind a bit confused. She couldn't bear to reject Qin Cangye again, but she also felt that this kind of relationship was a bit ridiculous.
Su Yinuo was also confused and couldn't understand why he still looked at me with such gentle yet cautious eyes after knowing my family situation and knowing that I was neither a lady from a wealthy family nor a beautiful girl from a humble family? Shouldn't he discriminate against me, a poor person with a lowly job and no social status?
After packing the lunch box, Su Yinuo handed it to Qin Cangye and said in a cold tone, "Don't come tomorrow." As he said that, he put away the payment code and said, "No need to pay. What you paid yesterday is enough for a hundred meals here."
Qin Cangye's hands stiffened slightly, and a trace of pain crossed his face. He clutched the lunch box tightly, twitching his lips. "Aunt Zhang, what you said is contradictory. If you said I have enough for a hundred meals, why won't you let me come tomorrow? I still have to come for at least ninety-eight days."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Yinuo to react, he turned around and walked quickly into Building No. 5.
Su Yinuo lowered her head, tightly gripping the edge of the table, her eyes red. After a moment, she turned around, took off her gloves and covered her tearful eyes.
The phone in her pocket rang. Su Yinuo quickly took out a piece of paper to wipe away her tears and answered the call from Li Jinmiao.
"Nuo Nuo," Li Jinmiao's voice was soft and cautious, "Why is Qin Cangye coming to my office to eat spicy hot pot again? Did he recognize you? Don't you know how scared I was when he showed up yesterday? What's wrong with him that he has to come to my office to eat spicy hot pot? He's occupied my desk now, so I called you from the tea room."
Su Yinuo didn't expect Li Jinmiao to be in such a miserable situation. She smiled awkwardly and said embarrassmently, "He must have recognized me, but he didn't expose me. I just told him not to come, but he probably won't listen. I don't know what to do, Sister Miaomiao."
Li Jinmiao heard Su Yinuo's entanglement and sadness, and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry about him, Yinuo, don't take it too seriously. If he doesn't expose it, don't expose it either. Who can't act? Just treat him as a passerby. I don't believe that a young master like him who lives a life of luxury and has a picky taste can eat spicy hot pot here for the rest of his life... Oh! I get it!" After comforting her for a long time, Li Jinmiao suddenly raised his voice, "I know why he came to my place to eat spicy hot pot. You don't know that Qin Cangye and his grandfather have a falling out!"
"What?" Su Yinuo was surprised.
"Qin Cangye has completely turned against his grandfather. Ronghua Capital has been plagued by internal strife lately, and the stock market has been fluctuating. If you follow the news on this, you'll know. Now everyone says Qin Cangye is crazy. He is the only heir to the Qin family and is very capable. As long as he behaves himself, when his grandfather dies, who else will own Ronghua Capital if not him? There's no benefit in him being so eager to tear his face apart. Some people are even mocking him behind his back, saying that if he pushes his grandfather too far, he might just give that 48% stake to his personal nanny. But I'm getting off topic..."
Li Jinmiao took a sip of water and continued, "The two of them are in such a bad relationship, his grandfather must be keeping a close eye on him, so his every move is under his grandfather's eyes. He certainly doesn't dare to reveal your identity at such a critical moment, so he came to me after buying the spicy hot pot, in order to tell his grandfather that he came to the Near East Software Park to find me! Damn it! What a vicious person, using me as a shield!" Li Jinmiao cursed dissatisfiedly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yinuo was still deeply troubled by Li Jinmiao's words. She was extremely worried about Qin Cangye, afraid that he would be in danger in this internal strife. After all, if a factional struggle broke out in such a large company, it would undoubtedly affect many people. Even if his grandfather didn't do anything to him, what about those implicated? Would they harbor hatred and do something dangerous to him?
Besides being worried, she also felt very guilty, thinking that Qin Cangye's actions might be related to the rejection she had said to him two months ago.
So, was it me who provoked him and caused him to do these dangerous and irrational things?
In the following days, Qin Cangye still came every day. He didn't make any extra moves and left after buying everything. However, he talked more and more while waiting, and sometimes even made small talk.
"How does Aunt Zhang cook so deliciously? The vegetables are cooked just right, crispy but not raw at all, and the meats melt in your mouth. The flavors are also perfectly seasoned and very fragrant. Even if you eat too much, you won't feel sick..."
He spoke seriously, and with his exquisite and handsome appearance, he looked like a dedicated spokesperson.
Su Yinuo felt embarrassed after hearing this.
"Wow, handsome guy, is it really that delicious?" The girl standing behind Qin Cangye leaned out and asked curiously.
"It's really delicious. I come here every day." Qin Cangye nodded seriously.
There were little hearts in the girl's eyes. Su Yinuo knew that it was definitely not because of her spicy hot pot, but because of Qin Cangye's handsome face.
"Handsome guy, add me on WeChat," the girl took out her cell phone.
Qin Cangye frowned and refused decisively: "I don't have a cell phone."
Girl: ???
Su Yinuo suppressed her laughter and stuffed the lunch box into Qin Cangye's hands. Qin Cangye turned and left. The girl asked curiously, "Aunt Zhang, he didn't pay. Did he use facial recognition?"
"Um...he has a monthly subscription..." Su Yinuo said awkwardly.
Another day, Qin Cangye stood in front of the soup pot, staring at the boiling soup pot, and warned: "Aunt Zhang, please be careful, don't burn your hands."
Another day, Qin Cangye looked at Su Yinuo who was skillfully drawing the skewers and said worriedly, "Don't prick yourself. You have to string so many dishes every day. Can you handle it?"
That day, Qin Cangye glared at Ji Wenjun, who was helping Su Yinuo, with great dissatisfaction: "Aunt Zhang, your nephew is not doing his job and is idle. I'm afraid he has no future, right?"
Ji Wenjun was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He put down the iron basin in his hand with a thud, took out his mobile phone and put it in front of Qin Cangye, saying angrily: "It's only 8:40, I have to go to work at 9, Master Qin!"
"Ambitious people arrive at their workstations at 8:30, while those who slack off arrive at work on time, warm up for half an hour, be distracted for half an hour, slack off for half an hour, drink water and go to the toilet for half an hour, and finally work for half an hour. Okay, the whole morning is gone," Qin Cangye continued to mock calmly.
"You, you...I didn't do what you said! You are talking about me here, but what about you? You are still here at 8:40. Can you get to the company at 9 o'clock?" Ji Wenjun retorted.
"Me?" Qin Cangye sneered, "Why should I arrive at nine o'clock? I'm the boss."
Ji Wenjun was stunned for a moment, speechless, and ran away angrily and devastated.
Su Yinuo reluctantly stuffed the lunch box into Qin Cangye's hands. These days, she had been following Li Jinmiao's advice, treating Qin Cangye like a stranger, responding to him with silence or a few cold words, and never taking the initiative to talk to him.
But today, after hearing the bickering between Qin Cangye and Ji Wenjun, she suddenly realized that Qin Cangye was really wasting his precious time by traveling so far to the Near East Software Park every day... Especially at this critical moment when he was fighting a life-and-death battle with his grandfather, every minute and every second might be related to winning or losing, right?
So, when Qin Cangye turned around, she added, "You don't have to come here every day and waste your time."
Su Yinuo's tone was the cold one she had used in the past few days, so the words that were originally meant well took a different tone when they reached Qin Cangye's ears.
Qin Cangye froze slightly, his expression immediately becoming extremely painful. He opened his mouth, then lowered his head and said in a very small voice: "I come here every day, wouldn't you be happy? But I am very happy."
Huh? That's not what I meant...
A customer came up from behind, and Su Yinuo was in a panic and had no time to answer Qin Cangye.
Qin Cangye was pushed to the side but didn't get angry. He hung his head like an abandoned dog and asked, "Why didn't you chase him away when he came? Are you in love with him?"
The aggrieved voice drifted into Su Yinuo's ears. At the same time, there were other customers shouting: "Aunt Zhang, a lazy meal." "Aunt Zhang, I also want a lazy meal, let's cook together."
"You can't like him..."
"Aunt Zhang, don't want spicy food, eh? I don't want spicy food."
"I want a meaty meal."
"I can't eat spicy food! Forget it, I don't want it."
"Why don't you give me this, no need to cook it again."
"You must not dislike me..."
......
Su Yinuo was already extremely busy, her ears, mind, and hands all in a mess. Her eyes were red with anxiety as she hurriedly sorted through the several meal packages in her hands. When she looked up again, Qin Cangye had disappeared.
