Without realizing it, it was already noon.
âJian, itâs already noon, we should go for lunch, right?â Mo Mo spoke up after glancing at the time.
âYeah, itâs time for lunch. What do you want to eat?â Jian Dan felt her stomach growling with hunger too.
âCan we choose anything we want?â Mo Mo asked, her face full of anticipation.
âBy that look, are you planning to take advantage of me?
Did I say I was treating?â Jian Dan asked, watching as Mo Mo blinked expectantly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIsnât that obvious!â
âWhat do you mean by that!â
âI mean, Meng Ran and I really went all out on our wedding, so Iâm a bit strapped for cash recently. Look at these two, they work for you, donât you feel bad making them pay?
Right now, youâre the richest one among us!â Mo Mo looked at Jian Dan with an innocent expression.
âSo what youâre saying is, if someoneâs rich, they should treat?â
âOf course! Letâs hurry up and go! Iâm starving!â Subsequently, Jian Dan was nudged out of the office by the trioâs urging.
In this situation, the three of them surprisingly stood on the same front.
But Jian Dan wasnât stingy. She was just playing around with them earlier.
The four arrived at an upscale French restaurantâ¦
Though not top-tier, the restaurant was certainly high-end, so even during lunchtime, it was not crowded.
âMost of the diners here are couples. Isnât it a bit awkward for the few of us to be here?â Yuanyuan commented after surveying the surroundings.
âWhatâs so awkward about it? Itâs not like itâs a couples-only restaurant, we can come if we want to!â Mo Mo replied, unconcerned.
âI think we should just go ahead and order,â Jian Dan said as her stomach began to protest.
After ordering, Jian Dan went to the restroomâ¦
What Jian Dan didnât expect at all was running into Mu Yi upon coming out of the restroom.
Mu Yi was dressed in a waiterâs attire, being berated by a middle-aged man in a suit, without uttering a word in response and just bowing his head to take the abuse.
Considerate of Mu Yiâs dignity, Jian Dan approached him only after the man had left, âMu Yi~â
âPresident Jian? What are you doing here?â
âWhat else? I came here to eat! What about you?â
âI work here!â
âWith your talent, why would you be working here as a waiter?â
âIâm not a waiter, I am just a dish washer! With my looks, customers would lose their appetite at the sight of me!â Mu Yi said self-deprecatingly.
âWhat are you talking about? With your abilities, you shouldnât be here!â
âBut in a world that judges by appearances, itâs already good enough that I can find a job!â
âTake off your clothes!â
âWhat?â
âTake off your clothes and come with me! From now on, youâll continue to be my assistant!â Jian Dan saw that Mu Yi had no reaction to her words, so she continued, âWhat? You donât want to?â
âI do! I do!â
âThen move it!â
âYes!â Mu Yi nodded, took off his work clothes, tossed them aside, and followed Jian Dan.
Watching Jian Danâs retreating figure, Mu Yiâs lips curled into a smileâ¦
âMu Yi? Why are you here?â Qin Rou asked upon seeing Mu Yi return with Jian Dan.
âOh! I just ran into him!â Jian Dan did not tell them that he had been working here.
âAnd who might this beâ¦â Mo Mo looked at the unfamiliar face.
âThis is Mu Yi, we met at a training camp. Iâve decided to make him my assistant!â Jian Dan announced her decision.
Seeing Jian Dan looking in her direction, Qin Rou waved her hand, âDonât look at me, I have no objections!â Qin Rou was aware of Mu Yiâs capabilities, so she didnât oppose Jian Danâs decision.
âHello, Iâm Mo Mo, Jianâs friend!â The only one who didnât know Mu Yi, Mo Mo, also introduced herself to him.
The five of them had a delightful lunch.
After lunch, Mo Mo was the first to leave, and Mu Yi went back to New E Media with the othersâ¦
