Xiao Zheng ran away from Shen Manjun's room in a sorry state. Not only was he sweating profusely, but his heart was also beating wildly.
After returning to the company, Xiao Zheng first walked around the security department. He saw that the new security guards were all working in an orderly manner, but he didn't see a single female security guard. He was a bit angry that Bai Yujiao didn't keep her words, but at the same time, he was glad that they didn't hire female security guards.
If there was another female security guard like Shen Manjun, wouldn't he have to face tough challenges every day?
Only now did Xiao Zheng realize how wise Lin Huayin's request to not have intimate contact with male and female colleagues was.
After walking around for a while, he drank a cup of tea and ate some fruits in the office. He was about to leisurely wait for lunch to arrive. However, his phone on his desk started to buzz.
It was Blue Heart.
"Hello." Xiao Zheng answered the phone and answered in a gentle tone.
"What are you doing?" Blue Heart's gentle and reserved voice came from the other side of the phone. She clearly missed Xiao Zheng a lot, but she didn't show it in her words.
"I'm sitting in the office and waiting for lunch," Xiao Zheng smiled. "What about you? What plans do you have for lunch? Do you want to go out for lunch? "
"Okay," Blue Heart agreed without even thinking. However, after thinking about it, she said helplessly. "But there's still a lot of work to take care of. Especially the funding problem in Yanjing. Boss Lin told me to prepare a report as soon as possible … "
"You can't go hungry even if you're working," Xiao Zheng persuaded. "Only when you're full will you have the energy to work. I'll go and book a table. Come over after work. "
In front of Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng had always been obedient. However, in front of Blue Heart, he displayed his male chauvinism to the extreme. As long as he decided on something, Blue Heart would never object.
"Okay then …" Blue Heart said. "I'll prepare the report as soon as possible. See you in a bit."
"Okay."
Xiao Zheng hung up the phone and went online to search for a restaurant near the company. He felt that most of them had been eaten before, and there was nothing new about them. Only then did he search further into the distance. After searching for a long time, Xiao Zheng finally found a restaurant with good business and good reviews on the internet. The taste was authentic, and the service was excellent. Only then did he make a phone call to reserve a table.
Because the National Day was approaching, all industries were facing a long holiday, so before the holiday, every department was quite busy. Even the colleagues in the security department did not want to be punished by Abbess Miejue for making any mistakes in their work during the National Day.
After sitting in the office for more than an hour, it was finally lunchtime. Without another word, Xiao Zheng put on his coat and was about to go out.
"Xiao Zheng!"
Just as he stepped out of the door, a familiar yet flustered voice came from behind him. It was none other than the big sister of the security department, Bai Yujiao.
"Captain Bai, what's up?" Xiao Zheng turned around and smiled.
"It's nothing. Let's go eat together. "Bai Yujiao walked over with her arms behind her back. Whether it was her expression or posture, she looked like a superior. He had a strong aura.
"I'm going out to eat with a friend," Xiao Zheng explained.
"What do you want to eat?" Bai Yujiao's expression changed. "I'm tired of eating at work recently. Do you mind if I have a free meal? "
"Hunan cuisine." Xiao Zheng said awkwardly. "It's very spicy. I'm afraid you can't get used to it. "
"Who told you I can't get used to it?" Bai Yujiao said seriously. "I've loved spicy food since I was a child. It can be said that I can't live without spicy food. "
Xiao Zheng frowned and thought, 'Does this woman have good eyesight? Isn't the dislike I showed enough? '
Although he thought so, he did not dare to say it out loud. He was looking for an excuse to avoid it. Bai Yujiao said, "Let's go. It's my treat. "
After that, she went out of the door and walked toward the elevator.
Apart from working hours, the security department was allowed to use the elevator after work. Otherwise, who could climb up and down a building with dozens of floors? Of course, department leaders like Bai Yujiao and Xiao Zheng were naturally not bound by this rule. Otherwise, how could they have a sense of superiority as a leader?
After going downstairs, the two of them went straight to the parking lot. As soon as they found their car, they bumped into Blue Heart, who had gone downstairs to get her car.
"Boss Lan." Xiao Zheng rushed to greet him, and gave Blue Heart a meaningful glance behind Bai Yujiao's back.
"Don't act in front of me." Bai Yujiao rolled her eyes. She was not as cold as she was in front of her subordinates. "It's not like I don't know about your relationship."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng turned around and asked, "Why did you come with us to eat if you knew?"
"I said it's my treat. Also, with me here, even if you were seen, you wouldn't be unable to explain yourself, right? " It's not as if you can't explain yourself, right? "Bai Yujiao said cleanly. "Get in my car. There's a traffic jam at noon. Don't burden the congested roads. "
Xiao Zheng was speechless. Blue Heart had always been submissive. As long as they didn't cross her bottom line, she would welcome them with a smile.
The restaurant was quite far from the company, but Bai Yujiao's driving skills were top-notch and she was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. In just fifteen minutes, they arrived at the back door of the restaurant.
"As expected of the former flower of the police station," Xiao Zheng praised. "People eat at the front door, but we eat at the back door. Those who don't know might think we're superstars. "
Bai Yujiao said in a strange tone, "Superstar? Even if Chief Lan is like that, you're just a small bodyguard for a superstar. "
"Then you're a small assistant for a superstar. The kind that serves tea and drinks. "Xiao Zheng retorted.
Hearing the two of them bickering, Blue Heart smiled. "Go in. If you keep arguing like this, you'll be late for work. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and pushed open the door. He walked towards the back door of the restaurant.
After entering, the waiter led the three of them to the designated private room. They ordered four or five signature dishes and a few bottles of wine. They chatted as they waited for their food. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. They didn't know if Bai Yujiao's temper had changed recently or if she was only strict at work, but she was actually able to chat with the two of them harmoniously. Although she would occasionally argue with Xiao Zheng, it didn't affect the atmosphere of the meal.
"What are your plans for the National Day holiday?" Bai Yujiao asked as she drank her tea.
Perhaps it was because Blue Heart was present, but Bai Yujiao maintained a polite smile. She was still polite.
"I originally planned to accompany my parents for a walk outside. But now there's a change of plans, and I've decided to rest at home. "Blue Heart smiled and didn't put on airs in front of Bai Yujiao.
"What about you?" Bai Yujiao turned to ask Xiao Zheng.
"What plans can I have?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "Eat, drink, and sleep at home. Save money and feel at ease. "
"Looks like you don't treasure this holiday at all," Bai Yujiao said indifferently. "But that's true. You often take time off from work. Holidays don't really appeal to you. "
Xiao Zheng coughed and said awkwardly, "Chief Lan is here."
"What are you afraid of?" Bai Yujiao teased. "Even if you make a huge mistake, Chief Lan will still stand by your side and speak for you."
Xiao Zheng glared at Bai Yujiao and said, "Impudent."
As they chatted, the waiters served the dishes. Xiao Zheng opened three bottles of beer and said with a smile, "We still have to work in the afternoon, so let's drink casually."
Blue Heart still had a lot of work in the afternoon, so she naturally agreed. Although Bai Yujiao's alcohol tolerance was good, her driving skills weren't bad either. But it was still noon with heavy traffic, so she didn't dare to be careless. Drinking a bottle of beer and eating spicy Hunan food was also a type of enjoyment.
After drinking a bottle of beer, the three of them ate most of the dishes. On the way, Bai Yujiao used the excuse of going to the bathroom to pay the bill. Xiao Zheng saw through it but didn't expose her. It was the price she had to pay for freeloading.
"Are we done?" Xiao Zheng ate two bowls of rice and lit a cigarette after he was full. "Let's leave after eating."
He was thinking for Blue Heart's sake. He knew that she was busy with work and didn't want to waste her precious time.
In fact, on this point, Xiao Zheng already had a clear understanding.
Blue Heart and Bai Yujiao were both department bosses. But one was the security department, and the other was the finance department. And Blue Heart was also the chief financial officer of Xin Ao. The workload and difficulty of her job were not something a mere security boss could compare to. From Lin Huayin's usual busy schedule, it could be seen that the real higher-ups of Xin Ao rarely had spare time. Even if they did, it was a race against time. They weren't like Bai Yujiao and Xiao Zheng, who could ask for leave at any time if they wanted to play. For people like Lin Huayin and Blue Heart, Xin Ao's higher-ups, not to mention asking for leave, even if it was a legal holiday, the two of them would often come to the company to work overtime.
The pressure and burden of a company that was about to go public was not something that ordinary employees outside of the core circle could imagine.
"I'm afraid you have to go and say hello to someone," Bai Yujiao said mysteriously.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "What do you mean?"
"When I went to pay the bill just now, someone already paid for us," Bai Yujiao said jokingly. "I believe they didn't do it for me."
"You have someone you know eating here?" Xiao Zheng turned around and asked Blue Heart.
Paying for himself?
It was more likely that it was Blue Heart.
"No." Blue Heart lightly shook her head, a hint of confusion flashing through her face.
"Then that's strange," Xiao Zheng said as he took a drag of his cigarette. "No one else knows that we're eating here."
As he spoke, he called over the waiter and asked about the situation. Only then did he find out that the person paying for them was right next door.
"Let's go and say hello," Blue Heart said gently.
Bai Yujiao also suggested, "We can't just eat for free, right?"
Xiao Zheng also expressed his agreement. They didn't even know who was treating them, much less who they were coming for. If they just left like this, it would be too rude.
The three of them stood up and walked towards the next room.
Knock knock.
Xiao Zheng raised his hand and knocked on the door, a smile on his face.
Xiao Zheng was always extremely friendly towards people who treated him to a meal.
But the moment the door opened, the smile on Xiao Zheng's face froze. In fact, he was a bit … surprised.
"It's you?" Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly as he said in shock.
