“I got your lunch.” Yan entered the office, but her tone and expression were a complete change from before she left the office earlier. Before she left, her face was flushed red, as if she was ready to go to war.
However, after returning to the office, she appeared to be in a foul mood, as if someone had just bullied her. “What happened?” Han Muzi glanced at her. “Did you fight with Assistant Xiao again?” she asked in amusement.
Yan snorted when she heard that. “Why would I fight with him? He’ll just end up not saying anything whenever I start scolding him.” After that, she shook the bag in front of her at Han Muzi. “Quick, collect your love-filled lunch.”
Han Muzi blushed furiously at the mention of ‘love-filled lunch’. She refused to approach Yan after that; instead, she cleared her throat. “You can have it since you collected it. I suddenly feel like having some plain porridge in the canteen.”
With that, Han Muzi started putting her things away and prepared to head downstairs. Yan panicked and dashed forward to stop her.
“Are you insane? This is Ye Moxuan’s love-filled lunch that was prepared for you, so you had better finish it. If Young Master Ye found out you didn’t, do you think he’d spare me?”
Han Muzi hesitated before making a remark. “You make it sound as though he were a serial killer. It’s just lunch after all.” “Oh?” Yan cocked a brow at her. “Are you unhappy that I painted him as a serial killer? Are you feeling protective of him?”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words at her comments. “Fine, just go ahead and have your love-filled lunch. I’m going downstairs now.”
Yan didn’t wait for a response; instead, she handed the bag to Han Muzi. Then, she turned around and left the office, and she even closed the office door behind her.
In the end, Han Muzi had no choice but to enter the lounge with the bag. She realized that it was a very intricate-looking lunch box upon opening the bag. When she opened the box, she noted that it was a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and there was even a nutritious bowl of soup.
Buzz…
Her phone vibrated, and she took a quick look at the phone on the table. It was a WeChat message from Ye Moxuan.
‘Be good and have your meal. I’ll pick you up after work.’
After reading the text and looking at the lunch in front of her, Han Muzi had a feeling that something was not right.
Our current situation feels like something only a madly-in-love couple would do.
Doing something like delivering a love-filled lunch doesn’t seem like something Ye Moxuan would do.
Nevertheless, hasn’t he been doing all sorts of shocking and surprising things ever since we met again?
After lunch, Han Muzi tidied the things up and leaned against the couch to rest.
Ye Moxuan was silent after sending her two messages.
After lunch break, a client showed up right when the afternoon work session just started. The client claimed that he wanted to custom order a batch of work clothes for the summer and spring seasons. It sounded like a huge order, and so Yan immediately invited the client into the office so that Han Muzi could discuss with the person directly.
“Good day, Miss Han.”
The person was a middle-aged man, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes. His skin looked flawless, and he looked like he was in great spirits. It was obvious he was a successful man.
He handed a business card to Han Muzi.
“I am the manager of Blue Sky Company. I hope to discuss with your company about some work clothes for the next spring and summer seasons. I’m wondering if you have any good suggestions, Miss Han.”
Han Muzi accepted his business card and scanned it meticulously before smiling at him.
“Good day to you, Manager Yi. Please, have a seat.” Han Muzi led him to the couch. “As for the work clothes for spring and summer seasons, I wonder if you might have any specific requests. You can share your thoughts with me during these early stages. Then, I will prepare some drafts for you.”
Seeing as the two of them started talking business, Yan went off to prepare some coffee in the pantry.
Yan didn’t take long to make the coffee. By the time she returned, Han Muzi and Manager Yi were done with the pleasantries, and they were already on the main topic.
“Manager Yi, your coffee.”
“Oh? Thank you.” Manager Yi accepted his coffee. He was very polite and considerate. He accepted the cup of coffee with both hands, and he even personally thanked Yan. He then took a sip of coffee before praising her, “The coffee is delicious. Did you prepare this yourself?”
Yan was rather delighted by his compliment, and she nodded happily.
“Yes, I did!”
“Not bad at all. You are quite skillful.”
After that, he turned to Han Muzi while nodding and praising, “Your company possesses such talents. Not only do you produce fine work, your coffee is great as well. I see your company has some unnoticed talents, Miss Han, hahaha.”
Han Muzi was stumped for a while, but she laughed in reply. “Manager Yi, you are too kind. This is our job.”
Both parties chatted for quite a while. In the end, Manager Yi stood up. “Alright, I understand the initial stages now. In that case, I’ll discuss with my company’s president once I get back. If things go smoothly, I’ll come over tomorrow to sign a contract with you.”
Yan offered immediately, “Manager Yi, I’ll send you off.”
“Sure, sure.”
After Yan sent him off, she exclaimed gleefully when she returned, “Oh, my! Wasn’t it such a breeze to talk business with Manager Yi? It’s so rare to have a person in such a powerful position to stay humble and cultured. Besides, he was especially polite to both you and me, especially you.”
“Me?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you notice? He regarded you with utmost respect.”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words.
I didn’t notice that. I just felt that the person is well-educated. However, I don’t think he treated me differently.
Isn’t it an exaggeration for Yan to say he respects me?
“I think you must have sensed wrongly.” Then Han Muzi turned around. “Make some preparations and discuss the details about this project with me. After that, we can get to work,” she instructed.
“Okay.” Yan followed her from behind. “I think the chances of signing this contract exceeds more than 95%. Muzi, could he be your brother’s friend? I feel like he looked at you differently.”
Han Muzi snapped back to her senses when she heard that.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, that’s plausible. After all, our clients increased rapidly after we attended the banquet. Blue Sky Company… Do you recall this company that night when you accompanied Qing for toasts?”
Yan was astounded, and she answered blankly, “H-How could I possibly recall? Although I got to know many people that day, I had so much to drink that I was basically in a drunken stupor. Besides, those high heels I wore that night weren’t my size; they chafed the skin of my legs, and I even bled. Although I did toast to speeches, my legs had my full attention!”
Han Muzi frowned when she heard that. “You injured your legs?”
“It’s alright. It’s not that serious. I just had some chafing, and it’s much better now.”
“You should be more careful in the future. Don’t wear shoes that are too small. In any case, Qing is rather unreliable; why did he let you drink so much? He does not know how to appreciate and care for a woman.”
“I share your sentiment. He doesn’t know how to appreciate and care for a woman at all; in fact, he’s just like a huge block of iceberg. Other women would have run in the opposite direction if they were in my shoes. Why am I still so hopelessly in love with him?”
Han Muzi was stunned to silence for a while, but she answered with a laugh, “Well, I suppose you most probably have a masochistic side.”
“Muzi, you are making fun of me!”
