“Hey, Leader Zhang, you don’t want it anymore? Isn’t this yours?”
There were many in the crowd who were long unhappy with Zhang Chaowen’s bullying of newcomers. One suggested, “Alright, Zhuang Nainai, hurry and eat it, Leader Zhang is letting you have it.”
Zhuang Nainai smiled and nodded. “Then, thanks, Leader Zhang!”
The team burst into laughter.
Zhang Chaowen’s face became even darker.
“May brought a message from Mr. Si just now: We should take it slow. If we can’t finish today, we can continue tomorrow. You may leave after dinner.” A colleague, Su Mei, reminded Zhuang Nainai about this and patted her on the shoulder. She then retrieved her bag and made a move.
The people in the office started to pack up. Zhuang Nainai brought the mealbox back to her seat.
She did not eat much for lunch and had planned for a snack in the afternoon. But she had been kept busy the whole day, and her stomach was now grumbling loudly.
She ate everything in the mealbox, and when she looked up, everyone was gone from the office.
The crowded and noisy office in the day was suddenly silent. The emptiness made her a little scared.
Zhuang Nainai packed up and walked out.
Si Zhengting had not replied to her message. He was probably already home by now.
Zhuang Nainai checked the bus route on her phone. She walked to the lobby and planned on taking the bus home.
On the top floor, Si Zhengting looked restlessly at the wall clock and at his phone.
It was already 8:30 pm. Why was the design team still working?
He furrowed his brows and looked at Ji Chen. “Was dinner delivered?”
“Yes, Sir, they were.”
Ji Chen then looked up and continued, “Like you requested, no ginger in Madam’s meal.”
Si Zhengting looked up abruptly, a look of puzzlement flashing across his eyes. “What do you mean ‘no ginger in Madam’s meal’? What about the others?”
Ji Chen looked down, not daring to reply under the formidable air of his boss.
Mr. Si had requested for no ginger in the dinner. He was taking into account Madam’s preference, was he not?
However, if everyone else had no ginger in their food, how could Madam know of his sincerity and special attention towards her?
Therefore, he had made the call to give Madam a different mealbox. Madam would finally understand Mr. Si’s feelings now…
Ji Chen was anxious. He had been working for Si Zhengting for many years and understood him well. But this was the first time he had disobeyed his orders.
Ji Chen heard no more reply and looked up at Si Zhengting to see his deep gaze fixed in front of him. He broke out of his trance after a while and fixed Ji Chen with a sharp stare.
Ji Chen’s heart leaped to his throat and he said fearfully, “Sir…”
“You are fired if there’s a next time.” Ji Chen heaved a sigh of relief upon those words.
His words were menacing, but his tone… he was not angry at all!
Right then, the door was opened, and May, the secretary, stood at the doorway. “Sir, everyone has left at your request.”
Si Zhengting looked up instantly. “Everyone?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Everyone had left. Why had she not given him a call?
