Chapter 9 I am blessed to have you
Early in the morning, Huo Xiang and Li Guixun sat at the dining table. Uncle Tian prepared pumpkin porridge, big buns and a few side dishes.
Huo Xiang actually wanted to say that he and Uncle Tian could just have the staff meal together.
He hasn't even officially started working yet, but he's already sitting and eating and drinking with the boss. He always feels like something is not right.
Although Li Guixun said that he was interested in him, he also made it clear that he would not be a burden to him. He could still do what he wanted, but now...
Li Guixun said, "Don't think too much. The working hours and benefits of each position are different. Others won't say anything. You work from nine to five, and it's not even eight o'clock yet. You are not at work yet. You are my friend now."
Huo Xiang then remembered that, leaving aside the salary, he couldn't be the only employee in this villa whose food and lodging were all included and who worked from nine to five?
He suddenly didn't want to argue with Li Guixun about whether they were friends or not. Talking too much would not only make them seem distant, but also make him seem like he was taking advantage of someone and was being ungrateful. How hypocritical!
That's it!
Anyway, the more friends you have, the easier your life will be. It is his honor to be friends with a big shot like Li Guixun.
Huo Xiang asked Li Guixun about his sleep last night so that he could know whether the dinner he made was effective.
Although he knew very well that dietary therapy was not a panacea, even if it was effective, it would not be immediate.
But I just couldn't help but want to verify it.
It’s just like a new employee in the workplace is eager to get recognition from his superiors.
Li Guixun just wanted to make himself felt, so he quickly said, "It seems to be having some effect. I didn't even have a dream last night!"
He knew not to be too exaggerated, as that would sound too fake.
What if Huo Xiang gets satisfied after hearing this and stops doing it for him in the future?
Huo Xiang was very happy.
He also understood that Li Guixun's words were meant to comfort him, but who doesn't like to hear nice words?
He thought that the outside world's evaluation of Li Guixun was probably mostly groundless.
Putting aside other things, Li Guixun is obviously cheerful and kind, how could he be so scary?
Yi Qian also asked him to stay away from Li Guixun, which was just what others said!
Thinking of Yi Qian, Huo Xiang suddenly realized that since the unilateral announcement of the breakup...
No, they have never been together, so it can't be considered a breakup.
It would be more accurate to call it “the end of friendship”!
Ever since he unilaterally announced the end of their friendship, he had hardly thought about Yi Qian in the past two days.
In the past, except when he was at school or doing other things, he was always thinking about Yi Qian.
I wondered if he had eaten on time today, if he drank again at night, and if he had a stomachache...
I think it won’t be long before Yi Qian completely fades out of Huo Xiang’s life!
"What are you thinking about? Are you still sleepy?" Li Guixun waved his hand in front of him.
Huo Xiang smiled faintly: "No."
It’s just that I feel a little lost in my heart!
He suddenly felt fortunate that he had studied preschool education.
There are a lot of girls in this major, and most of them are very caring and like children. It’s very happy for us to study, sing and dance together.
He always knew that his temperament was somewhat lonely, cold and melancholy, but he actually quite liked being in a lively environment.
In order to better interact with children in the future, he practiced and adjusted his mentality and expressions very deliberately during college.
During the two years he served in the army, his comrades-in-arms were all very nice and took good care of him, a young college student. The environment there was pure and simple, and slowly, he became more cheerful and laughed more.
With the company of Qiao An and Zhuang Yan, especially Qiao An, who was always making a lot of noise, he couldn't be emo at all.
With so much warm power accumulated, a one-sided heartbreak really doesn’t matter.
"Come, have a big bun. Uncle Tian makes it very delicious." Li Guixun handed one over and took one for himself, eating it with relish.
Huo Xiang felt that Li Guixun really had no idol baggage at all. He was nothing like the noble and particular about table manners as described in novels. He was just like an ordinary person.
But he is good-looking and doesn't eat in a rough manner, so it seems that the food in his bowl is particularly delicious.
Therefore, Huo Xiang didn't feel that uncomfortable sitting next to him.
As for Yi Qian, all the etiquette seemed to be engraved in his bones. Even when he and Huo Xiang were alone, he always behaved in a proper manner.
In order to maintain the best image in front of him, Huo Xiang would deliberately adjust her state.
Now that I think about it, it was really contrived and tiring!
So what did this relationship bring to him?
Li Guixun noticed that Huo Xiang was distracted again, and said calmly:
"I really like eating steamed buns, especially those freshly cooked. They are plump and white, and steaming hot. They are delicious even when eaten plain. Every time I eat them, I feel like there is still hope in life."
He finished one and took another.
Huo Xiang deeply agreed with this. When he was in the welfare home, his favorite food was also buns.
In the army, steamed buns are also very popular.
That’s why he opened so many “Veterans’ Bun Shops” later on.
but……
This bun is actually filled with leeks and eggs!
He actually liked it very much. After all, it tasted really delicious. He just didn't expect that Li Guixun would like it too.
After trying to hold back, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, aren't you afraid that leeks have a smell?"
Li Guixun smiled mysteriously: "Let me tell you, if I eat leeks at home, I will notify the company cafeteria to cook leeks today. It tastes good, and such delicious food should be shared. No one should look down on anyone else. The one who doesn't eat it is the odd one out, hahaha..."
Seeing the slightly mischievous smile on Li Guixun's handsome face, Huo Xiang also laughed: "You have taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!"
Seeing Huo Xiang smiling and joking with him, Li Guixun was extremely happy.
Huo Xiang has a particularly clean and delicate appearance, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of shallow dimples when she smiles, which is very healing to look at.
Li Guixun didn't dare to look at him for too long. He just glanced at him quickly and then looked away. Then he explained:
"In fact, it only happened once, and it was an accident. It was mainly because Uncle Tian accidentally made chive buns, and I accidentally ate two. After eating, I remembered that I had to go to work. It happened to be April Fools' Day that day, so I played a little joke!
However, we asked the canteen to prepare chewing gum and mouthwash in advance, and everyone wore masks consciously after eating leeks.
Although the company is my territory and is not strictly a 'public place', it is still somewhat unethical. ”
Li Guixun's main purpose was to amuse Huo Xiang so that he wouldn't always think about the people and things that made him unhappy.
But he couldn't really let Huo Xiang think that he was a black-hearted person with a bad taste. He, Li Guixun, was not worthy of being such a scapegoat.
"But that incident also gave me inspiration. I asked the canteen to set up a special dinner window and make some heavier-tasting food from time to time, such as snail noodles, stinky tofu, durian lasagna, roasted brain, fried silkworm pupae and so on.
After a hard day's work, you need these things to refresh your mind. You know what, it’s quite popular, hahaha…”
When talking about this, Li Guixun was very happy.
It's really fun to be naughty.
(ˊˋ*)
Huo Xiang was stunned by Li Guixun's trick. He imagined the lively scene and said with a smile, "People who don't eat must be saying in their hearts: You old man, I am lucky to have you!"
While eating the buns, Huo Xiang gave Li Guixun another point in his heart.
He looks careless, but he is actually very considerate and a little... well, cute.
Isn’t it a blessing to meet such a boss in the workplace?
We had a pleasant breakfast.
Just after I finished my meal, two very professional staff members came to deliver clothes.
Huo Xiang understood that it was a personal customization for the president, so he planned to avoid it.
But he was stopped by Li Guixun.
"Huo Xiang, come here, let me see your work clothes."
