Chapter 50 There's only one truth, and she must be fascinated by me too!
After appeasing the God of Wealth, Assistant Du was about to get back to work when he heard another instruction.
"She has a habit of afternoon tea, so she ordered some items from Yundingzhai and had them delivered."
Assistant Du paused, realizing there was no need to guess who this "she" was.
Fu Jinzhi thought for a moment, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said in a low voice:
"Order one for each person in their department, and say it's a treat from the president's office, but it'll be paid for with my personal account."
He also wanted to describe Wen Yao's preferences in detail, such as wanting milk and sugar in her coffee, but less sugar in her cakes, and that she loved buttery pastries but could only eat one or two pieces...
That's too long-winded and embarrassing.
In the end, Fu Jinzhi only told Assistant Du, "Contact Wang Ma and ask about Wen Yao's preferences."
The Fu family treated us very well, with free afternoon tea provided every day.
Generally, the HR department sets a limit on the amount, and each department orders meals centrally.
Each department also has its own afternoon tea stand, which is stocked with fruit, delicate cakes, KFC snacks, and unlimited bottled drinks from the refrigerator.
Wen Yao's colleagues were also getting ready to enjoy afternoon tea.
"Xiao Wen just came to the company today, let's order some takeout."
"Sure, I still have room to order food this month."
...
Department Manager Sister Hua made several rounds of visits to the office today, and seeing everyone chatting so enthusiastically, she joined in:
"It's okay if it exceeds the budget. I've already spoken to the HR department, and I'll cover the extra amount."
"Sister Hua is so generous!"
"Thank you, Sister Hua!"
Just as everyone was celebrating, there was a knock on the door. Everyone quieted down and looked towards the doorway.
Several HR colleagues were pushing a few small carts and standing at the entrance.
"Afternoon tea is here, could you please help me receive it?"
Several people who were nearby rushed over to help carry the food containers; the stacks of containers were quite a lot.
"No wonder it's a project that's received a lot of support this year," a colleague from the HR department said with a smile. "This afternoon tea was ordered for you by the president's office. It's really enviable."
"General Manager Du said it was to reward you, and asked us to send it over as soon as possible." Another young man from the HR department helped arrange the food boxes.
"It seems your performance this month has been quite good!"
Colleagues in the department exchanged glances; this month's performance was good, but only at a slightly above-average level.
During peak performance periods, the president's office didn't offer such humane measures as afternoon tea; instead, they directly gave out bonuses.
I'm afraid his real intention wasn't what he seemed to be after!
After the HR colleagues left, Xiao Yuan went to check the afternoon tea and immediately hissed.
"Look, it's afternoon tea at Yundingzhai!"
Yundingzhai?
Everyone crowded around to the gilded black wooden box, with the three large characters "Yundingzhai" written in flowing strokes on the front.
Yundingzhai is a top-tier bakery in S City, excelling in both Chinese and Western pastries. The average afternoon tea price per person is over four figures.
Their department now has more than seventy people, how can that not be considered a large-scale operation?
"Is this what they mean by 'when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'?" a colleague couldn't help but exclaim.
"What?" Wen Yao was confused. Who were the chickens and dogs, and who had attained enlightenment?
But then she saw Xiao Yuan give her a meaningful look, and then pull her forward to get afternoon tea:
"Haha, he's just joking. Come and see if there's anything you like!"
Wen Yao glanced down and saw that they were all things she liked.
There's no need to be picky then. Wen Yao waved her hand casually, "It's okay, you guys take what you want first, I'm not picky."
Not picky about food? Xiao Yuan, who had a meal with her, thought to himself.
Wen Yao seemed to eat quite a lot, but she only ate a little of everything.
Those who didn't know better might think it was an ancient emperor who couldn't show his favoritism and couldn't eat more than three bites, no matter how much he liked it.
He doesn't eat ginger, cooked garlic, or scallions; he only eats two bites of the highly praised fried bananas; and he doesn't eat sweet and sour pork either...
Is this because they are not picky eaters?
It's probably like how parents aren't picky eaters because they only buy the dishes they like to eat.
Wen Yao is no longer a picky eater, absolutely because the people ordering food are all things she likes.
Thinking of the message sent by Assistant Du, Xiao Yuan felt that he had figured out the truth: Wen Yao must have a very close relationship with President Du.
Thinking of this, she quietly raised her phone, wanting to take another picture for 500 yuan.
However, due to his timid and cautious movements, he accidentally triggered the flash.
Wen Yao was standing obediently to the side waiting for her seniors to choose afternoon tea when suddenly a bright light shone directly into her eyes.
She squinted at the light source, and saw Xiao Yuan standing there, frozen in place, holding her phone as if she had been petrified.
What could be more embarrassing than having a flash used when taking a candid photo?
This isn't the light from a phone flash; it's a dazzling white light leading to heaven!
For a moment, Xiao Yuan didn't know where to put his hands.
Will Wen Yao get angry? People usually get really angry when they're secretly photographed, right? Oh no...
Little did anyone know that Wen Yao was no ordinary person; this guy rarely had internal conflicts and was bursting with confidence.
"8848, I knew being too charming could be a problem."
"Look, on my very first day at work, someone's already impressed me!"
Wen Yao pretended to be reserved and boasted to 8848, "Xiao Yuan is very patient with me, and it's not because of Fu Jinzhi at all."
"There's only one truth: she must be fascinated by me too!"
[…Pu Xin Nu!] 8848 is still angry about the extra work she inexplicably had.
While the system was upset about its own overtime work, it was even more resentful that the host was happily watching movies and slacking off!
"Look at you, I just said a few more words and you react like this. It's true that our feelings have faded."
Wen Yao used the classic Dream of the Red Chamber tone, almost as if Xi Shi were clutching her heart.
8848 was so angry that its code was in turmoil.
Just as he was about to question Wen Yao about their relationship, he saw Wen Yao float to Xiao Yuan's side like a butterfly.
Wen Yao tidied her appearance slightly in front of the mirror next to her, and fluffed up her hair, which had become a bit flat from working long hours.
Make sure the image is flawless.
Wen Yao raised her chin and gave Xiao Yuan a graceful smile like a female celebrity, "Come on."
"What's coming?" Xiao Yuan asked, stunned.
"Oh, don't be shy~" Wen Yao gave Xiao Yuan a reproachful look, her beautiful face showing a hint of affection.
It's as if it's saying: Look how well I understand you.
"I know you really want a photo together, no problem, go ahead and take it!"
Xiao Yuan was filled with mixed feelings, and simply didn't know how to deal with this sudden "gift".
Wen Yao's encouraging gaze seemed to have some kind of magic, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but raise her phone and switch to selfie mode.
With a click, a group photo was taken.
In the photo, Wen Yao has bright eyes and white teeth, flawless skin, and a confident and radiant face.
In contrast, Xiao Yuan, who hadn't fully reacted, really resembled a fan who was stunned with surprise upon seeing their idol.
What kind of situation is this? Xiao Yuan covered his forehead, but felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Wen Yao.
For the rest of the afternoon, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to take any more photos of Wen Yao.
Although the flash was completely turned off, the white light from that candid shot still haunted Xiao Yuan.
In contrast, Fu Jinzhi only received one photo in the afternoon, which was a group photo of Wen Yao with company employees.
