His Majesty is Scheming - C196
It was a pity that Director Liu called her back to work in such a hurry. Half of the reason was to get her to pay a ‘red fine’, so naturally, he couldn’t ignore her. As she silently prayed, Director Liu shouted in a low voice: “Ling Mengzhu, you must lead the way.”
“Huh?” Ling Mengzhu came out from under the table and looked at him in puzzlement, “Why?”
“Now that you’re on the company’s list, aren’t you allowed to take the lead?”
No way …! Ling Mengzhu’s resentful gaze immediately swept towards Little Yang, who waved his hands at her and chuckled, “Apologies, we will give you 500 for a thousand, poor child.”
“Can I get a hundred?” Ling Meng Pearl was on the verge of tears. She lowered her head to look at the red invitation card in her hand, seemingly ready to tear it apart. One Thousand Yuan? She didn’t even have a thousand yuan in her entire fortune!
Chief Liu didn’t even bother to answer her question. He urged everyone, “Everyone hurry up, don’t make them wait for us when the time comes. Hurry up …”
The people in the office began to pack up their belongings while cursing and swearing. They walked towards the banquet building. Yu would invite them over because they wanted to fish for oil and water. Unfortunately for them, they were under the eaves!
The banquet building wasn’t far from Duo Lan’s company, and it was close to the seaside. The scenery was beautiful, and the taste was pretty good. However, due to the sky-high prices, there was almost no one who had come to the company before. When they reached the banquet hall, Director Yu was already waiting for them at the entrance.
“Everyone, thank you for your appreciation. Please take a seat inside.”
Since Ling Meng Zhu had other things to ask of him in the future, he pretended to be happy and greeted: “Boss Yu, congratulations. Where’s the little baby? It must be very cute, right? Can we hug you? ”
“Little guy, you’re afraid of the wind, you’re resting at home. After three months, I’ll definitely let you guys hug me, haha.” Director Yu was beaming with smiles, looking quite pleased with himself as he led them to their seats.
Ling Mengzhu thought to herself, after doing all this and paying so much money, she actually didn’t even see a single strand of hair on the little kid. After three months, he hoped that she would have nothing better to do in three months!
The banqueting hall was the banqueting hall, and the dishes served in succession were indeed well-deserved of its reputation. There were all kinds of delicacies, and the taste was superb as well. Ling Mengzhu looked at the delicious table and suddenly remembered that Long Zhenghao’s lunch was still not ready yet. He had been busy the whole morning and had forgotten about Ye Zichen. That guy couldn’t cook, so he should be hungry by now, right?
As she thought about it, she called for the waiter and said, “Please give me two bigger boxes of food and two more boxes of rice.”
The service here was excellent. The waiter didn’t ask any further and went to get her a lunch box with a smile. Hearing Ling Meng Zhu’s question, Xiao Yang asked curiously: “Ah, Zhu Zhu Zhu, what are you doing? You can’t finish all the food, can you? Do you think you can’t finish it? ”
Although the dishes were of high quality and were very expensive, they were all very exquisite and elegant. After eating them, one could say that they were effortless. It was already good enough that he could fill his stomach. How could he take it with him?
“I still have a person at home who doesn’t have food to eat, so I have to go back and take care of him. I won’t be eating with you guys.” Ling Mengzhu took the lunchbox from the waiter’s hands, and poured the most delicious dishes into the box. She then called out to the waiter, “Waiter, I’ll have to trouble you to make one of these dishes. Thank you.”
The waiter smiled awkwardly and said: “I’m sorry Miss, Mr. Yu has reserved twelve dishes for each table …”
“It’s fine, you can ask for Mr. Yu’s opinion first. He’ll definitely be very willing.” While Little Yang interjected, a few girls nodded in agreement, looking as if they were letting him down if they didn’t want to take back the money.
The waiter went to consult with Boss Yu, only to see his expression change to become somewhat ugly. He looked over, nodded reluctantly, and the waiter went into the kitchen to order.
When the women saw Director Yu’s angry look, they couldn’t help but snicker. She suddenly felt the excitement of revenge. The discontented mood from before vanished at this moment as everyone started to eat without any trace of politeness.
When Ling Mengzhu returned home with the delicacies brought out by the banquet hall, Long Zhenghao was pitifully preparing to take out a packet of instant noodles. That packet of instant noodles was something she had bought before she went on leave and placed in the cupboard. It was also a bag containing the noodles, so it was relatively cheap.
Seeing Ling Meng Zhu return, she was stunned for a moment, then threw the instant noodles back into the cupboard. Because Ling Mengzhu had brought in four or five boxes of food, she knew at a glance that they were here to bring him food, so there was no need to eat instant noodles anymore.
“Didn’t I tell you?” The fast food outside is not clean, it’s best to eat less. ” Long Zhenghao spoke with dissatisfaction. He didn’t care who the fast food was for, as he had a lot of opinions. If it was fast food, he would rather eat the egg noodles she cooked.
This time, not only was Ling Meng Zhu not dissatisfied, she excitedly walked towards the table while smiling: “Don’t worry, I didn’t serve you any snacks. Come quickly and see what kind of delicacies I brought you.”
Long Zhenghao saw the excitement on her face and was truly curious as to what treasure she had brought back that made her so happy. She quietly followed and watched as she moved the so-called delicacy out of the bag. The two words’ Banquet Hall ‘was printed on the lunchbox.
He really couldn’t think of anything good to eat that made her so happy. He opened the lunchbox and saw that it was just some stuff that rich people ate a lot, but had no nutritional value at all. In the past, he had often eaten, so he had to accompany his customers!
“And two boxes of rice.” Ling Mengzhu pushed one of the boxes in front of him and gave half of her box to him.
“Sit down and eat, aren’t you hungry?” Ling Mengzhu raised her head and met his fixed gaze. He was looking at her. Why are you looking at her like that? The smile on Ling Mengzhu’s face froze as she laughed dryly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
As she asked this, she raised her hand to wipe her face. There shouldn’t be any dirt on her face, right? No, she was sure, but why was he looking at her like that? Feeling ashamed, Ling Mengzhu began to feel uneasy.
“Is it really that delicious?” Long Zhenghao looked at her for a long time before he finally asked.
Ling Mengzhu was stunned, then laughed dryly, “Not bad, I just ate a little at the banquet building, and then I packed it without eating, what’s the matter?” Don’t you like seafood and game food? ”
“No.” Long Zhenghao sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. It was true that he didn’t like to eat, but seeing how excited she was, he couldn’t bear to offend her, so he could only pretend to like eating.
Seeing him start to eat, Ling Mengzhu immediately showed an excited smile, and said smilingly: “A customer’s son is currently at the full moon, inviting us to the banquet hall for dinner. But don’t think that he’s very generous, he only did that to get more oil, our manager wants us to buy at least one thousand yuan, one thousand yuan …” How much is my salary? ”
Is a thousand a lot? Long Zhenghao didn’t know what to say. He just listened to the food in his mouth. It was his first time seeing her speak so much in front of him. He would laugh and be angry at the same time, just like a child.
Of course, Ling Mengzhu didn’t really charge a thousand yuan. She had borrowed five hundred yuan from someone else and handed it over shamelessly, but five hundred yuan was still a great deal to her. As he thought about it, his heart began to hurt.
Long Zhenghao saw that she was in a daze and said coldly, “If you don’t eat now, you’ll really be paying for nothing.”
Thus, she lowered her head and started to eat. But in order to let Long Zhenghao eat more, she took the initiative to lower her head and eat dry food. After taking a few bites, she suddenly put a piece of fish into the bowl. She was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Long Zhenghao.
Long Zhenghao was stunned as well. Why did he so smoothly scoop the fish into her bowl just now? It didn’t seem to have happened between the two of them, and he did it so easily.
Long Zhenghao pretended not to see her surprised gaze as he lowered his head to continue eating his own food. The stunned Ling Mengzhu also lowered her head as she picked up the piece of meat he had given her and put it into her mouth.
After the meal, Ling Mengzhu cleaned up the mess on the dining table and walked out of the restaurant. She saw Long Zhenghao sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine. The doctor told him, “I’m going back to work. You take care of yourself. The doctor said it’s best not to do strenuous exercise.”
“Got it.” Long Zhenghao replied. Without even raising his head, Ling Meng Yu took the trash and left.
After another afternoon of work, if it wasn’t for the fear that Long Zhenghao would be starving, Ling Dreaming Pearl would have to work overtime until nine o’clock before returning home.
Just as she was packing up, Director Yu called to invite her over for a cup of coffee. Ling Mengzhu looked at the time and rolled her eyes in annoyance. Although she had eaten her fill at noon, it was time for dinner. Why would she drink coffee?
“Thank you, Director Yu, but I’m sorry, I have a patient in my family who needs my care, so …” I’ll buy it for you another day. ” Ling Mengzhu accompanied him with a smile as she thought about how to get rid of him.
“Miss Ling is so busy? I was still thinking about signing the contract, so we should change the date. ”
Hearing that she could sign a contract, Ling Mengzhu was immediately in high spirits, and anxiously said, “I’m really sorry, how about tomorrow afternoon? I’ll treat CEO Liu to a cup of coffee tomorrow afternoon. I have something to attend to tonight, so I can’t leave.”
“Unluckily, I’m on a business trip tomorrow morning. I think I’ll be gone for a month. How about next month?”
Next month, ah, very long time … Ling Mengzhu wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only change her words: “If that’s the case, then let’s meet tonight. Mr Yu, which coffee shop should we meet at? Is it still the same house from last time? ”
Director Yu paused before changing his words, “How about this, let’s find a place to eat first. We’ll talk after dinner.”
There was a clear tinge of excitement in his voice. He was clearly feeling happy for his extreme intelligence.
“Mm, alright then.” Ling Mengzhu was on the verge of tears, why did it feel like she was on a pirate ship? Forget it, forget it. Just take the risk once. If you don’t sign the contract tonight, you must return this damned customer to Little Yang. She doesn’t want it!
After arranging a time with Director Yu, Ling Meng Zhu gave Long Zhenghao a call. After three rings, a woman answered. This woman’s voice sounded very familiar, it was Long Zhenghao’s confidante, Liang Jia.
