It was almost time for Lu Qingye to get off work. He had finished the work that was delayed yesterday and today’s workload. It was rare for him to get off work on time.

When he came out of the company, his assistant happened to drive the car over.

It had been snowing all day, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of snow. There were many footprints left behind on the ground. Lu Qingye stepped over them, forming his own path.

After the door slowly opened, Lu Qingye got into the car. As the heater was turned on in the car, he quickly took off his windbreaker.

The assistant was still driving in front but his eyes were fixed on Lu Qingye who was behind him. After taking a few glances, he asked, “CEO Lu, do you want to go back to the hotel after dinner? I found a good Chinese restaurant nearby. Do you want to try it?”

In this cold weather, he felt that it was most suitable to go to a Chinese restaurant to eat. He could even have a sip of hot soup and try hometown dishes.

Lu Qingye raised his head slightly. His eyes were filled with a cold glint as he said indifferently, “I don’t see you paying as much attention to work usually yet you know quite a lot about the delicious restaurants.”

He had only secretly watched a variety show on the job once. He did not expect Lu Qingye to remember it for so long.

He tugged at the collar on his Adam’s apple and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Let’s go take a look.”

“Okay.” The assistant immediately changed direction and brought him to the Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Ever since Lu Qingye came here, he had not eaten much. When he was busy, he had no appetite, so he often forgot to eat.

This restaurant wasn’t too far from their company, but it was located in a relatively remote place. If one wasn’t familiar with the road, they might not be able to find this place.

It took them about five minutes to get there. There was no place to park nearby, so they still had to walk over when they got out of the car. The assistant led the way and did not forget to remind him, “CEO Lu, be careful.”

When they arrived at the restaurant, Lu Qingye chose a seat near the corner. Soon, a waiter came over with a menu.

“Hello, sir. What can I get you?”

Lu Qingye casually flipped through the menu. His posture made him look like a domineering CEO at work. He had the aura of a leader that could not be ignored.

Seeing that Lu Qingye was so serious about reading the menu, the assistant couldn’t help but recommend to him, “CEO Lu, their coconut chicken and casserole rice are not bad.”

After a while, Lu Qingye closed the menu and handed it to the waiter. “Then I’ll have a bowl of casserole rice, coconut chicken, and your signature dish.”

He could not eat so much alone, so he asked his assistant to sit down and eat

with him.

About twenty minutes later, all their dishes were served.

The assistant tactfully scooped a bowl of soup for him and placed it in front of him. “CEO Lu, try it. It tastes very good.”

Lu Qingye was not particular about food. He picked up the bowl, and the spoon beside him, and took a sip.

This chicken soup was a little oily and tasted average. He really didn’t know what the ‘not bad’ his assistant had said was referring to.

Seeing that Lu Qingye’s face was expressionless, the assistant’s heart suddenly beat nervously. He asked curiously, “Does it not taste good?”

He put down the bowl and said softly, “It’s alright.”

It was not as delicious as the coconut chicken soup cooked by Meng Chuyuan.

The assistant’s stiff lips twitched. “Is that all?”

Over the past few days, he had liked to eat here during his lunch break. He had recommended it to Lu Qingye because he felt that the food was not bad. He did not expect his review to only be ‘okay’.

Lu Qingye narrowed his eyes and said without changing his expression, “I’ve drunk better soup.”

If there was a comparison in terms of culinary skills, he would definitely stand on Meng Chuyuan’s side.

Although he had only drunk her soup once, he remembered the taste.

The assistant sighed softly. “Alright.”

After dinner, the two of them walked out of the Chinese restaurant. The street was deserted and there were no pedestrians. Under the street lights, Lu Qingye’s tall shadow was reflected in the snow. It was so clear that one could see his hair.

“CEO Lu, there’s a clothing store nearby. Do you want to go shopping and buy a few more sets of clothes?”

Lu Qingye put his hands in his pockets and said coldly, “No need.”

He had his own company brand, so there was no need for him to buy clothes in physical stores outside.

Lu Qingye felt that it was just an excuse given by his assistant to go shopping.

“Why don’t we go shopping? You’ve been working since you came and you

haven’t had the time to come out and walk around. There are actually many fun

things nearby.”

Seeing that he was unmoved, the assistant chattered on. “Take advantage of the time now to shop and buy the souvenirs to bring back to China in advance.

So that when the time comes for us to go back, we won’t have to be in a hurry..”
