Dong Dong. The crisp sound of someone knocking on the table attracted the attention of the man who was completely focused on the computer.
"Let's go. I told you that it's a holiday. Why are you still here?" Jiang Changxi was dressed in a professional suit.
She was the one who had knocked on the table just now. They were at the door of an office. The words "General Manager" were clearly written on the door plate.
"No need. We will go together for the meeting during the Chinese New Year," the man raised his head and said with a frown.
The man who spoke was dressed in a well-ironed suit. His shirt was buttoned up to the top, and his hair was parted to the side, revealing his forehead.
The words "Yu Chu" were written on the nameplate on the table. Presumably, this was the name of the General Manager.
"No need. Your overtime this year has long exceeded the limit. If you continue to work overtime, I won't be able to pay you," Jiang Changxi straightened her body and rejected the man.
"This case isn't something that can be solved by a single person. I believe in your ability, but you will need my assistance," the man said with certainty.
"Yu Chu, give yourself a holiday. Go out and enjoy the scenery and eat good food. If you continue like this, you will die of overwork," Jiang Changxi said seriously, which was rare for her.
"Stop. I agree to enjoy the scenery, but not eating good food. It's a waste of time," Yu Chu said straightforwardly.
"What are you thinking? Everyone knows that eating good food and drinking good wine is the only way to relax. Listen to me and go," Jiang Changxi retorted with a frown.
"Eating is only for the energy necessary for survival. Only by taking in enough energy can one work better. So, eating is only for survival," Yu Chu said with a straight face.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Come and drink with me. You will understand after drinking," Jiang Changxi slammed the table and said loudly.
"No need. I won't waste my time on this kind of thing," Yu Chu said to Jiang Changxi with a serious expression.
Jiang Changxi's expression turned solemn as she glared at Yu Chu.
Yu Chu paused for a moment before saying, "Eating requires the mouth to move. Not only does it consume time, but the stomach also has to digest the food. If I were to eat the delicacies you mentioned, I would have to waste time waiting. That's not an easy task."
"But …" Jiang Changxi was about to say something but was interrupted by Yu Chu.
"No buts. With this wasted time, I have already written several reports," Yu Chu said seriously.
"Then what's the point of working so hard?" Jiang Changxi said speechlessly.
"Of course it's for a better life," Yu Chu said without hesitation.
"Then you say that eating is a waste of time? What kind of prejudice do you have against food? "Jiang Changxi asked, finding it hard to understand.
Usually, Jiang Changxi knew that this manager often worked overtime. She also knew that he ate simple food, such as sandwiches and the like. Most of the time, he would order porridge, put it in a can, and eat it directly.
Of course, he also ate boxed food. But Jiang Changxi didn't know that this person had such a strong opinion about food.
"No, I'm just speaking the truth," Yu Chu shook his head, indicating that he had no opinion about food.
"Then, don't you usually relax?" Jiang Changxi looked at Yu Chu suspiciously.
She knew that Yu Chu had gone to Fiji to celebrate Chinese New Year last year. She heard that Fiji had beautiful beaches and seawater.
"Of course I need to relax, like traveling or climbing mountains," Yu Chu said.
"Eating good food is also a kind of relaxation," Jiang Changxi earnestly spread the rule of leisure food.
"If I have that kind of time, I would rather lie on a hammock by the seaside and enjoy the sea breeze …" Before Yu Chu could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Changxi.
"Enjoying the sea breeze, eating good food, and barbecued food at night. Perfect," Jiang Changxi said.
"Not really. I just want to have a good sleep with glucose by my side," Yu Chu said naturally.
He wasn't joking.
"Other people have sweet and tasty coconut juice while you have glucose. You must definitely follow me to experience a new world," Jiang Changxi said with a firm tone.
"Of course it's glucose. It's easy to absorb into the blood. Doctors, sports enthusiasts, and the majority of people often use it as a powerful and fast energy supplement. It can easily and quickly absorb the energy required by the human body to maintain the normal functioning of the body," Yu Chu quickly explained the use of glucose.
"There's no need to explain this. I just want to help you save your terrible taste," Jiang Changxi spread her hands and said seriously.
"It's 7: 20 now. You will need a total of 20 minutes to sort out the documents. You will need 25 minutes to reach the destination, five minutes to walk downstairs, and five minutes for Master Bai to pick you up. In between, you will need 10 minutes to deal with miscellaneous matters. There's not much time left. Take care," Yu Chu raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Okay. You must agree to eat together next time," Jiang Changxi said and turned to leave.
As Jiang Changxi's high-heeled shoes tapped on the floor, a clear and quick sound of "Da Da Da" rang out.
"Goodbye," Yu Chu looked at Jiang Changxi's departing back. He didn't agree, but he didn't reject her either.
"There are really all kinds of strange youngsters. Despite receiving such a high salary, they are so careless with their food." Jiang Changxi couldn't understand this. As a triple-lost woman, she had seen a lot of the world. However, it was her first time seeing someone like Yu Chu.
After tidying up, Jiang Changxi quickly rushed to the Yuanzhou shop to drink that pot of bamboo liquor. This was the last pot before the New Year. Naturally, Jiang Changxi was very enthusiastic about it.
However, the time she arrived was exactly the same as Yu Chu said. It was 8: 20, and there were only 10 minutes left before the pub started.
"Good timing," Wu Hai raised his head and glanced at Jiang Changxi.
"Of course," Jiang Changxi nodded her head as if it was a matter of course.
"It's almost the New Year. The streets are getting deserted," Fang Heng said as he shook his head.
"Are you the only one who hasn't gone back yet?" As soon as Fang Heng finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing beside him suddenly spoke up.
"Dad, didn't I bring you here as well?" Fang Heng said helplessly.
"Hmph," the middle-aged man snorted coldly and said in disdain.
"I don't see the number of people lining up during the meal time," Wu Hai stroked his mustache and said with a dissatisfied expression.
That's right. Wu Hai didn't feel anything but the number of people lining up was still the same.
"No, no, no. There are still a lot of people lining up. The streets are already full. I reckon there won't be many people on the first day of the New Year," Jiang Changxi said objectively.
"Boss Yuan, are you going to open your shop on the first day of the New Year? I'm here to pay my New Year's greetings," Wu Hai suddenly asked Yuan Zhou.
"I don't have any lucky money to give you," Yuan Zhou replied subconsciously.
"It's fine. I just need to cook a meal. Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet, Silk Twined Rabbit, Translucent Beef Slices, and so on. I'm not picky," Wu Hai revealed an expression of "I'm a pushover."
"Wu Hai, a person's face is sometimes important," Fang Heng couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Watch your words." Upon hearing that, Wu Hai got a little angry. He looked at Fang Heng and said, "Where did you get the misconception that I have a face?"
Fang Heng: "…"
"When it comes to shamelessness, Wu Hai has never lost," Jiang Changxi added.
Naturally, Wu Hai nodded his head in agreement. Then, the restaurant immediately quieted down …
