âYes, Mr. Li, Iâve got it,â Gu Ming regained his composure, and his anxious heart also settled down.
Miss Rong is indeed impressive.
As expected, listening to Miss Rongâs advice is correct.
âLi Shengxiao, have you not had lunch yet?â Rong Yan intervened at this time.
Itâs now half-past three in the afternoon, and he looks as if heâs been too busy to even eat.
The handsome manâs face faintly revealed signs of exhaustion, and just then, a company executive hurried out, running up to the three of them and quietly reporting something to the towering man.
Li Shengxiao pinched the bridge of his nose and said to Rong Yan, âI still have some unfinished business, why donât you go to the hotel with Assistant Gu and wait for me.â
âBut youâ¦â She wanted to say he hadnât eaten all day and his stomach wouldnât take it. But meeting the eyes of the executives waiting for him to hold a meeting, the words that reached her lips changed to, âAlright, Iâll wait for you at the hotel.â
Seemingly noticing the concern in her eyes, Shengxiaoâs expression softened slightly, and he said quietly, âIâll finish up as quickly as possible and come find you.â
âOkay.â
Rong Yan watched the manâs upright figure disappear before turning to Gu Ming, âAssistant Gu, letâs go.â
âAre we going back to the hotel now?â Gu Ming let out a sigh of relief as he followed her.
He had wanted Miss Rong to persuade their BOSS not to overwork himself, but didnât want her, unlike some willful young girls, to whine regardless of the circumstances, insisting on dragging the CEO away whether itâs urgent or not.
Just now, he had even feared that Miss Rong would not let the CEO get on with his work, which would have given him a headache, making him regret informing her about it.
After all, the issue that arose in Lin City, although not significant, was quite problematic. Many decisions needed the CEOâs personal attention; otherwise, he wouldnât have come to Lin City unannounced.
Luckily, Miss Rong didnât disappoint him.
âLetâs not go to the hotel first,â Rong Yan said, unaware of his thoughts and the relief he had just experienced. She took out her phone, turned to him, and asked, âAssistant Gu, do you know of any big malls nearby? A fresh food supermarket will do, too.â
Large malls, fresh food supermarkets?
Gu Ming was momentarily puzzled, âMiss Rong, what do you need from a mall or supermarket? Are you buying fruit?â
âMr. Liâs hotel suite should already have fresh fruit prepared. Miss Rong, you can check if there is what you want, and if not, you can ask the room service to prepare it again.â
Every time Li Shengxiao stayed at a hotel, it was always a five-star presidential suite. The exorbitant price, of course, meant top-tier service, and necessities like fruit didnât require personal shopping.
Rong Yanâs beautiful eyes shone brightly, her voice was full of smiles as she said, âNot for fruit. I want to buy some ingredients to cook a simple meal to bring over. Li Shengxiao probably hasnât had lunch yet, and now itâs half-past three. Looking at him, he likely wonât be finished with work until nine or ten tonight. He canât possibly wait until then to eat; his stomach wonât handle it.â
âIf I order takeout for him, he probably wonât eat it. The takeout dishes are too spicy, and he shouldnât be eating food that is too salty or rich in flavor right now, so Iâll buy the ingredients and prepare the food at the hotel and take it to him later.â
She spoke with seriousness, not as if this were a whim. Gu Mingâs impression of Rong Yan suddenly soared by quite a few percentage points, and he quickly said, âIf Miss Rong is looking for a mall, thereâs one nearby. I remember they have a fresh section where you should be able to find what you want to buy. Would you like to have a look?â
