At the mention of that name, Gu Qingxin instinctively frowned.
“Let’s go in, I’ve come to see Han myself. He hasn’t had dinner yet, so I bought him something from Shunxiang Vegetarian Restaurant.” Long Xuxu walks in seamlessly and the security guard lets her in without question.
It is clear that the security guard recognizes her.
Gu Qingxin, of course, knows Shunxiang Vegetarian Restaurant well. It’s a brand with centuries of history and pretty famous in Ming City. A meal there typically costs a five-figure sum.
Looking at the food box in Long Xuxu’s hand, Gu Qingxin thinks about the noodles in her own thermos…
Gu Qingxin sighs in her heart, her noodles’ fate of ending up in the garbage bin seems inevitable.
Gu Qingxin follows Long Xuxu to the CEO’s office. Secretary Lian Qingruo is still at work. As soon as she sees them, she greets them politely, “Miss Long, Miss Gu.”
“Is Han still in a meeting?” Long Xuxu asks casually as if she is familiar with everyone here.
“No… Please have a seat here while I go inform him.”
Lian Qingruo calls Beiming Han as Gu Qingxin listens, nervously clutching her thermos.
“Yes, Mr. President.” Lian Qingruo hangs up the phone, looks at both of them, and says, “Miss Gu, the president wants you to go back immediately.”
Although Gu Qingxin has guessed the outcome, she still feels a little disappointed. She stands up, hands her thermos to Lian Qingruo and says, “Could you please help me give this to the young master?”
Lian Qingruo takes the thermos from her and promises to deliver it with a smile.
Gu Qingxin thanks her and bids Long Xuxu goodbye before she leaves.
Watching Gu Qingxin enter the elevator, Long Xuxu’s warm gaze grows cold as a blade. Carrying her food box and wearing her high heels, she steps into Beiming Han’s office.
Beiming Han looks up at the woman who has entered. Long Xuxu speaks softly, “Han, I heard you haven’t eaten dinner yet. So, I went to Shunxiang Vegetarian Restaurant especially to get you something.”
Beiming Han dials on his desk phone. As soon as it connects, he orders with a cold voice, “Come in.”
Lian Qingruo quickly walks in, “Mr. President…”
“Please escort Miss Long out.” Beiming Han gives this cold command without lifting his head again.
Lian Qingruo looks pale. When she reported earlier the president only instructed for Gu Qingxin to return, she had assumed that he wanted Long Xuxu to stay.
Seems like she misunderstood. The president has not shown any interest in Miss Long at all…
“Since the food has been delivered, I’ll take my leave. You know our family rules are strict, unmarried girls can’t be out later than ten o’clock. Han, remember to eat, don’t overwork yourself.” After saying this, Long Xuxu gracefully exits.
Lian Qingruo admires Long Xuxu, the president’s intent was undoubtedly to ask her to leave, yet she managed to excuse herself gracefully without disobeying him.
By the time Beiming Han leaves his office, an hour has passed.
His gaze falls on the sky-blue thermos on the coffee table at the meeting area. He asks, “What’s this?”
“Miss Gu Qingxin brought it earlier.” Lian Qingruo couldn’t help but get sweaty palms. It’s obvious from a glance that it’s food inside. But knowing that Long Xuxu had brought something from Shunxiang Vegetarian Restaurant, she assumed the president would prefer eating that, and didn’t bring it in.
On hearing it was from Gu Qingxin, Beiming Han just stares at it for a while before walking over and opening the thermos. An hour has passed, and the noodles inside had already turned into a sticky mess.
