Tang Qi immediately understood and replied, "That's right, that's right, you wrote the contract yourself!"
Lu Zhe was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Let me think about it some more..."
Tang Qi tugged at his clothes: "Lately, when you're not around, I've been eating instant noodles for dinner. Come cook for me, okay?"
Lu Zhe: "..."
Xue Xiaodie clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh right, you can leave breakfast to me! As long as I don't stay up all night drawing, I can get up very early, definitely earlier than the two of you."
Lu Zhe: "Tang Qi doesn't need breakfast."
Tang Qi immediately retorted, "No, I need to! Because you said not to stay up late, I've been going to bed early these past two days. But when I get up in the morning, there's no breakfast, I can only eat cookies from the fridge."
Before the young lady could finish speaking, Xue Xiaodie already looked at her with pity.
She adjusted her glasses and said quietly, "The young lady is so pitiful. She's eating instant noodles and cookies all the time. It's like she has no one to take care of her."
Lu Zhe stared at the young lady and couldn't help but ask, "Can't you go downstairs to buy some food?"
"I'm too lazy to..." Tang Qi started to say, but realized something was wrong and immediately stopped. She then changed to a pitiful way of saying, "I'm a little afraid of crowds, and I don't dare to go out when I'm alone."
Xue Xiaodie immediately chimed in, "It's precisely because Miss is rather introverted and withdrawn that she needs to hire an assistant, right?"
Lu Zhe: "Alright, you guys win..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiaodie and Tang Qi exchanged a glance for a second, both seeing an uncontrollable smile in each other's eyes.
The fact that he said something like "You guys are pretty good" means that Lu Zhe is most likely going to agree to move.
But the next moment, he scratched his head and said, "Let me think about it some more. Besides, I should at least tell President Xia, otherwise it would be too impolite."
Tang Qi couldn't help but pout, a little disappointed.
But Xue Xiaodie's expression remained unchanged, and she still smiled and said, "That's fine, of course we should tell her."
Lu Zhe lowered his head and continued eating.
He had to admit that after their conversation over lunch, he was somewhat swayed.
On one hand, it's certainly due to the spirit of the contract. The contract stipulates a 40-hour work week, and as his assistant, he naturally needs to be by Miss Tang's side. But now that he's moved out, he can only spend two or three hours at her house each weekday. Even on Saturdays and Sundays combined, he can only spend less than 20 hours, which is definitely far from enough.
But as long as he moves back to that apartment, according to Miss Tang's calculations, as long as he stays at her house, even sleeping counts as working hours, so 40 hours is more than enough.
On the other hand, and something he was less willing to admit, was that he was slightly easily swayed. Especially when two beautiful young women were in front of him, one speaking softly and the other looking pitiful, the scene... made it difficult for any normal young man to maintain his principles.
He swallowed the chicken feet in his mouth, then quietly raised his head and glanced at them again.
Tang Qi was drinking porridge with a spoon, but one spoonful after another of pumpkin porridge couldn't hide the upturned corners of the girl's mouth. Her little face was filled with an unconcealable smile, like a kitten that had stolen a delicious dried fish.
Xue Xiaodie, standing beside him, was much calmer, her expression serene. However, Lu Zhe stared at her for a few more moments, which drew her attention.
Xue Xiaodie looked at him, holding her chopsticks, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "It's nothing."
He could tell that although Xue Xiaodie's expression was calm, her tone was lighter than usual, which seemed to reveal the girl's emotional changes.
Lu Zhe picked up his bowl, took a sip of porridge, and decided to go back in the afternoon to talk to President Xia before deciding whether or not to move.
————
When Lu Zhe, Xue Xiaodie, and Tang Qi returned to the office building, they saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking at them as soon as they entered the main entrance.
That's Xia Xiaobing.
She sat at a small round table in the open-plan café on the first floor. From her vantage point, she could see every single person entering and leaving the office building.
Meeting President Xia so soon was quite unexpected for Lu Zhe. He hadn't anticipated talking to President Xia so quickly and wasn't mentally prepared at all.
Xue Xiaodie and Tang Qi were also caught off guard and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xia Xiaobing raised her arm and greeted them: "Hey, Lu Zhe, are these two your... friends? Come on, have a seat."
The three of them had no choice but to step forward.
Beside the small round table, besides the chair Xia Xiaobing was sitting in, there was only one other chair. So Lu Zhe walked over and moved two more empty chairs from the side.
The three sat down opposite Xia Xiaobing, with Lu Zhe in the middle and the two girls on either side of him, staring intently at the dangerous CEO Xia.
However, no matter how vigilant one is, it is of course necessary to maintain a polite demeanor on the surface.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Hello, President Xia!"
Tang Qi's face stiffened slightly, and her voice was a little nervous: "Mr. Xia... Hello."
Xue Xiaodie naturally took over the conversation, pointing at the young lady and saying, "President Xia, let me introduce you. Her name is Tang Qi, and she is Lu Zhe's employer."
Xia Xiaobing raised her left eyebrow slightly: "Employer?"
Xue Xiaodie explained, "In her spare time, Lu Zhe is her personal assistant. Miss Tang had some family matters to attend to recently, so now Lu Zhe needs to stay at her house."
