Chapter 185 I'm here to pick you up!
[It's too stuffy in here, let's go to the window to get some fresh air.] Xu Shaoyu's voice was light, revealing a carefree and relaxed tone.
Yan Ruo disagreed and said in a dissatisfied tone, "If you stay in a heated place for a long time, it's easier to catch a cold when you are suddenly exposed to cold wind."
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of closing the window came from the other end of the phone, [Okay, I closed the window, don't be angry. ]
"I'm not angry, I'm just worried about you." Yan Ruo softened his tone. Although he spoke a little hurriedly just now, his tone didn't seem harsh either.
"When you went out this morning, you weren't wearing anything thick. Remember to ask Xiao Liu to bring you some clothes so you don't catch a cold."
[Don't worry, I'm almost done with my work. I'll pick you up later and we'll have a nice dinner tonight.]
Yan Ruo took a sip of the ginger and jujube tea in her hand. It was warm, with a hint of sweetness and a slight spicy taste.
The warm feeling spread from the stomach to every part of the body, and the whole body felt warm.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Also, today's afternoon tea is delicious, thank you, Mr. Xu."
A low chuckle came from the phone, "If you like it, I'll give you some next time."
"Then my afternoon tea from now on will depend on you."
[No problem, Mr. Yan.]
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ruo walked to the window with a cup in hand, the corners of her lips raised.
Although her office was not on the top floor of the Xu Building and was small in size, it had a very good view. It faced the largest river in the south city, and there was a large park within sight.
Just standing here and looking out makes me feel good.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting her wandering thoughts.
Zhao Jie pushed the door open and came in. "Boss, this is something we specially left for you. Since you haven't gone out to eat, we brought it to you."
"Thank you." Yan Ru took a quick look and actually left two portions of each for her.
She only left one portion of osmanthus cake and one portion of chestnut cake. "You left me too much. I can't finish it. I only need these two."
Zhao Jie wasn't polite either, "Then we'll divide the rest up."
Yan Ruo smiled and said, "It would be best if everyone likes the food. I will be back for a while, so I will trouble you again here."
"This is our job, why bother talking about trouble?"
As a former worker, Yan Ruo naturally knew that when the boss and leader were not around, that was the happiest and most relaxing time for workers.
Although there is nothing left to do, it still needs to be done well.
But psychologically, I feel more than a little relieved.
She said this as a routine courtesy.
There is no way. Even if everyone knows it, the feelings in their hearts will be different if some polite words are said or not.
In the large office outside, everyone had a cup of ginger and jujube tea, and each took their favorite snacks, eating and chatting.
"Well, this ginger and jujube tea is delicious. The ginger flavor is not strong, but it warms the stomach. It's rare to drink ginger and jujube tea that tastes this good."
"Osmanthus cake is delicious too, sweet but not greasy, perfect with this cup of tea."
"This is Yuzhuang's tea and snacks, of course they taste good." The speaker was the newcomer Wang Xiao.
Zhao Jie hadn't been in South City for long, and had never heard of the Yuzhuang village she mentioned. "Is this Yuzhuang village famous?"
"Of course, it's very famous. Almost everyone in Nancheng knows it." Wang Xiao took out a tissue and wiped his hands.
"It's just that their products are not only expensive, but many of their snacks are in limited supply every day. You may not be able to buy them even if you go to the store. I didn't expect they can also deliver food."
Zhao Jie picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a big bite, and suddenly found that it seemed to taste better than any she had eaten before.
I can't help but sigh, "With the taste of money, it really tastes even better."
As they were talking, Xiao Zhang jumped in from outside and came to Zhao Jie's side. "Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao, I heard that Mr. Xu from the Xu Group next door is inviting everyone in the company to have afternoon tea today."
After swallowing the cake in her mouth, Zhao Jie gave her a strange look, "Yeah, aren't we eating right now?"
"Oh, this isn't just a small company with just a few of us. We're treating hundreds of people from Xu's South City branch to a meal."
"When I went to the bathroom just now, I ran into people from the Xu Group and heard what they said."
"He said they're planning a wedding at home, and the boss is so happy that he's doubling the bonuses for everyone in the group this month."
Xiao Zhang held his face in his hands and said, "I'm so envious."
"There's no need to be envious." Zhao Jie glanced at Yan Ruo's office.
"Maybe our boss has a happy event in his family, and he'll give us red envelopes if he's happy."
Before Xiao Zhang could react, Wang Xiao beside him nodded in agreement, "It's really possible."
Xiao Zhang was puzzled, "How can you be so sure that there will be a happy event in the boss's family?"
Wang Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhang with a look of concern for a fool, "Have you forgotten the relationship between our boss and Mr. Xu from the neighboring Xu Group?"
Xiao Zhang patted his head and suddenly realized, "So what you mean is that our boss is going to marry Mr. Xu?"
Zhao Jie spoke ambiguously, "For things like this, we can just guess among ourselves, but don't spread rumors outside."
Wang Xiao and Xiao Zhang nodded, "I understand, Sister Zhao."
"Don't worry, Sister Zhao. I promise to keep this a secret until the boss announces the good news himself."
When it was time to get off work, Yan Ruo was about to ask where Xu Shaoyu was when there was a knock on the office door.
Yan Ruo thought something was wrong. Could it be that he came to work at this time?
Even the words "please come in" sounded weak.
"Ruoruo, I'm here to pick you up."
A deep, pleasant male voice sounded from the doorway, and Yan Ruo looked up suddenly. "So it's you."
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, "If not me, who else do you want to pick you up?"
Yan Ruo stuck out her tongue, "I thought it was time to get off work."
Xu Shaoyu said with a smile, "Aren't you the boss yourself? Even if you come to work temporarily, as long as it's not urgent, who can force you to stay and work overtime?"
Yan Ruo looked at Xu Shaoyu with resentment.
"It's mainly because I've been working for years and you've exploited me. I can't sleep peacefully unless I finish my work on the same day."
Everyone in the industry knows that the Xu Group is famous for its good treatment, but the work pressure is also famously high.
Especially the president of Xu Group, who is very strict with his employees.
Among the new employees recruited by the Group President's Office, seven out of ten cannot survive the internship period, and one or two will strongly request to be transferred after working for only a few months.
Xu Shaoyu coughed lightly and took out the coat that was placed aside. "It's getting late, let's go eat."
"Okay, let's go eat."
Yan Ruo put on her clothes and prepared to get her bag, but Xu Shaoyu grabbed it in his hand first.
When the two walked out, Zhao Jie and Wang Xiao were still busy with something.
"It's time to get off work, aren't you leaving yet?"
