LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45 You are so thin that you feel like you are all bones
It was eight o'clock in the evening in a flash.
Shu Yan raised his head from the sofa and saw that Ji Lingchuan was still staring at the big screen of the computer, showing no intention of getting off work.
But her stomach was already growling, and because she was asked to work overtime at short notice, she had to cancel the piano practice scheduled for tonight.
Even Yongyefang's performance probably won't be able to go.
"Gurgulu..." Her stomach growled again.
This time she finally couldn't sit still, put aside the notebooks and information in her hands, stood up, and walked cautiously towards Ji Lingchuan.
"Mr. Ji...are you hungry? Do you need me to go to the restaurant to pack a meal for you?"
The restaurant on the 44th floor is usually open until ten o'clock in the evening, just to facilitate people who need to work overtime.
Ji Lingchuan then raised his eyes to look at her, and at the same time glanced at the watch on his wrist, "No, I've already ordered the takeout. I guess it's almost here now, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "dong-dong" knock on the door.
The voice of Dai Ling, who was also working overtime, came over, "Mr. Ji, the takeaway you ordered has arrived."
"Send him in." Ji Lingchuan withdrew his hand from the mouse and finally had the tendency to stop working.
The door opened quickly, but it was not Dai Ling who came in, but a middle-aged uncle wearing a Bullfrog shop uniform.
Shu Yan was stunned when he saw it, a little in disbelief, "Uncle Ji?"
Uncle Ji was also surprised when he saw her, and then quickly smiled and said: "Xiao Shu, why are you here? Oh, by the way! I almost forgot, you said you went to Ji's for an internship!"
Shu Yan's face was very complicated. He glanced at Ji Lingchuan, then at Uncle Ji, and then reached out to take the takeaway, "Why did you deliver it in person? Isn't the store busy?"
Uncle Ji wiped his sweat and said, "It's okay. Mr. Ji personally called me to order it, so of course I have to deliver it in person!"
Shu Yan was shocked again, "Mr. Ji, do you have your phone number?"
Uncle Ji nodded, "Our store is actually rented from Ji's store. Mr. Ji left me his number when he inspected it in person last time."
While they were still talking, Ji Lingchuan had already sat down on the sofa.
Seeing this, Shu Yan quickly put the takeout box on the table, opened it, and took out the hot pot bullfrog inside.
"Let's eat together. I ordered it for two people."
Ji Lingchuan handed over a pair of chopsticks.
Shu Yan sat across from him obediently, picked up the chopsticks, and gave him the lunch box filled with rice.
Uncle Ji couldn't help saying from the side: "Mr. Ji is really close to the people. Xiao Shu is a student. She is lucky to be able to sit and dine with you!"
Shu Yan didn't dare to say anything, just silently lowered his head to eat.
Ji Lingchuan said expressionlessly: "She is now responsible for a project in my hands. It is normal to work overtime together."
"Yes, yes! I hope Mr. Ji can give Xiao Shu more opportunities to exercise. Although she graduated from a prestigious school, she has little social experience. I also hope that Mr. Ji can give her more attention in the future! You can eat the bullfrogs in my store anytime you want. , I’ll give it away for free anytime!”
At this moment, Uncle Ji is like a father who is worried about his daughter's career development and is actively working hard to please his daughter's leader.
Shu Yan felt sour in her heart. Of course she didn't want Ji Lingchuan to take advantage of him like this, so she said, "Uncle Ji, you don't have to be like this. Mr. Ji cultivates every one of our employees with great care."
Uncle Ji wanted to say something else, but Ji Lingchuan handed an extra pair of empty bowls and chopsticks to him.
"Boss Ji, let's sit down and eat together! You're welcome. Let's talk about your son by the way. I happen to know someone who is doing business in Southeast Asia. Please tell me your son's characteristics and I will send them to them for help. .”
Hearing this, Uncle Ji felt as if he had seen the savior and sat down excitedly, "Mr. Ji, are you really willing to help?"
Shu Yan was very nervous.
Although she asked Ji Lingchuan to do it, she didn't want Uncle Ji to know what he asked her to agree to.
Therefore, she secretly grabbed the corner of Ji Lingchuan's suit jacket under the table, trying to remind him not to talk nonsense.
But she didn't want to be held by him with her backhand, and then intertwined her fingers.
Shu Yan was shocked and wanted to pull back, but he actually increased his strength and tightened his grip!
Uncle Ji, who was sitting diagonally across from them, was completely focused on whether his biological son could be found, so he didn't notice their little movements under the table.
"It's just a little effort, but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to find out." Ji Lingchuan replied tactfully.
Uncle Ji took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a puff.
Then, he told Ji Lingchuan what he had said to Shu Yan again, except hiding the fact that Ji Minghao regretted his marriage.
But in fact, Ji Lingchuan had heard these words when he first chatted with Uncle Ji.
Basically it's all repetitive content, not much new content.
"I dropped out of high school and then spent money to go to a vocational high school. I studied cooking and worked as a chef. Within two years of opening the store, I left the store to my father. I wanted to go to Southeast Asia to make money. I really have a vision." In one sentence, Ji Lingchuan said it in the direction of Shu Yan.
Shu Yan knew that he was mocking her vision for getting married, but how did he know that she had never even met him before registering?
If she knew, I would probably poke a hole in her head...
Uncle Ji didn't hear the underlying meaning of Ji Lingchuan's words and thought he was just mocking his son.
"Hey, I'm really disappointed with that brat! I'm sorry for you, Xiao Shu!" Every time after complaining about his son, Uncle Ji would always express his guilt to Shu Yan.
Shu Yan silently held the frog legs with one hand and ate them, not daring to express his opinions about Mr. Ji.
Ji Lingchuan glanced at her and finally let go of her hand under the table.
As soon as she was freed, she quickly put her hands between her legs, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw another thick frog leg in the bowl.
Ji Lingchuan brought it to her.
"Eat more meat, you are too thin and you feel like you are all bones." He said considerately.
However, this sentence sounded very ambiguous to outsiders. Even though Uncle Ji was caring, he looked at him in surprise.
Shu Yan's face turned green, but she couldn't disobey him yet, so she could only lower her head and silently eat the meat in front of her.
But after she finished one, he brought another one, and finally almost a whole pot of frog legs was delivered to her bowl.
Uncle Ji looked at the two of them thoughtfully, not even noticing that the cigarette ashes were about to fall onto his hands.
Shu Yan simply put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full! Mr. Ji, please eat slowly!"
Ji Lingchuan didn't eat much and soon put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Uncle Ji hurried over to help clean up, and also wiped the table clean.
"Uncle Ji, I'll take you downstairs." Shu Yan seemed to be waiting for this moment. There were some things she had to explain to him.
But Uncle Ji looked at Ji Lingchuan and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you continue to work overtime! Work is important, work is important!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shu Yan to say anything else, he turned around, opened the door of the CEO's office, and walked out.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lingchuan also picked up the car keys at this time, "Let's go, don't you want to see him off? I'm off work anyway, let's go downstairs with him!"
