21: Chapter 21: Qin Mu Appears, Seeking Collection (2)_1
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran glanced up at Secretary Zhou standing at the entrance of the design department, and at the seven or eight takeout boxes in her hands, her beautiful eyes widening as she swallowed.
The surrounding employees cheered, as this was the first time President Gu had prepared afternoon tea for the staff.
Before Jian Ran could even stand up, Secretary Zhou proactively walked over with the takeout boxes, respectfully saying:
“Miss Jian, this is yours…” Secretary Zhou then handed the pale blue box from the top to Jian Ran. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Having been starving since the early morning, Jian Ran’s front nearly sticking to her back, she quickly said, “Thank you, Secretary Zhou.”
“You’re welcome.”
Secretary Zhou looked at Jian Ran, the corners of her eyes filled with smiles.
Emma, this is the CEO’s wife!
Jian Ran quickly took the box back to her desk and opened it to find a rich Chinese meal inside.
That was great; she had been worried about not getting enough to eat.
But for afternoon tea, why had the company ordered Chinese food?
This was clearly lunch…
And it was from the upscale restaurant in the Blue Sky Building, very expensive.
Each dish, though seemingly ordinary, was a masterpiece, with values over ten thousand being a trivial amount.
The other employees took their own boxes from Secretary Zhou one after another, and those with sharp eyes noted that Jian Ran’s was different from theirs, unable to help themselves from saying.
“Jian Ran, we all have pizza, why do you have a Chinese meal?”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise; on the outside, her box looked similar to everyone else’s, unexpected.
Everyone’s attention focused on the takeout box in front of Jian Ran, especially Lan Xing, who seemed to have thought of something, her eyes filling with venom.
This little bitch, she must have taken advantage of Lan Xing’s absence to whine to President Gu, saying she hadn’t been able to eat lunch and then played the pity card, making President Gu give her…
Hmph, President Gu had always been impartial.
Why would he do this now?
…
Secretary Zhou looked at everyone’s pitiful expressions, of course not mentioning that this was specially arranged by President Gu.
“When we ordered the pizzas earlier, we found we didn’t have enough, so we ordered an extra takeout from the Blue Sky Building.
It just so happened to be Jian Miss’s lucky day.”
Jian Ran smiled, this…
was handed to her by Secretary Zhou.
It wasn’t exactly good luck.
But, she was really hungry.
At the thought, Jian Ran quickly bowed her head and began to eat heartily, addressing her hunger.
The Blue Sky Building’s food was as abundant and delicious as always; she remembered the times when the Jian Family hadn’t yet fallen from grace, and they would often dine there as a family of three.
Jian Anguo would joke that in the future, when she and Han Siming got married and had children, it would be a family of five dining out.
The more she ate, the more tangled Jian Ran’s heart became, full of mixed emotions.
She forced the moisture from the corners of her eyes back and finished every morsel of the meal.
No longer a pampered young heiress, she couldn’t afford to waste any food.
…
Having eaten the afternoon tea provided by the company, Jian Ran’s originally pale complexion had improved a lot.
When it was time to leave work, just as she stepped out of Gu Family’s building, she unexpectedly saw Qin Mu.
Qin Mu was clad in a white suit and black sunglasses, ostentatiously standing in front of his Sibel sports car, quite eye-catching.
The Sibel sports car, ranked first globally, was a high-end supercar.
Upon seeing Jian Ran, Qin Mu immediately approached her like a regular.
“Ran girl, did you receive the flowers I sent?”
Jian Ran: “…”
