I won the jackpot!

Chapter 16

There is a reason why private cars are expensive. Although the rain was still falling and other people were queuing for hundreds of people, Jiang Sichen got a taxi quickly. It was just that the car arrived more than ten minutes late because of the traffic jam. Jiang Sichen and Chu Yu got in the car as soon as they walked out of the gate, without getting wet. Because of the rain and water accumulation, many sections of the road were congested. The driver drove quietly and did not complain that they were stuck in traffic for such a long time for such a short journey. Jiang Sichen always encountered such drivers when taking a taxi before. If the traffic light ahead was green for a few seconds, he would curse. If the taxi was stuck in traffic for five minutes after three kilometers, it would be even more terrible. It seemed that it was all her fault. Obviously, the platform took too much commission, and the passengers also had to spend a lot of waiting time when there was a traffic jam.

Since she became rich, her quality of life has improved visibly. She finally realized that problems that can be solved with money are really not problems. But traffic jams are still force majeure. Unless you can fly over, you will still be stuck on the road no matter how rich you are. It was only a short distance of three or four kilometers, but it took nearly two hours to get there. With this time, you could have walked several times! But it was windy and rainy outside, and it was really inconvenient to walk. It was really frustrating. At this moment, Jiang Sichen was so hungry that she felt like she had hypoglycemia and felt a little dizzy. "Master, please stop at the intersection ahead." There were still two streets away from the community. Chu Yu looked at her in confusion. Jiang Sichen hurriedly explained, "Boss Chu, I can't do it. I'm too hungry. I have to go eat something. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for takeout to be delivered in this weather." In fact, Chu Yu didn't want to cook at home at this time. Her cooking skills were really average. Many times when she didn't want to cook, she would eat in restaurants outside, so she knew all kinds of delicious restaurants. Chu Yu glanced out the window, thought for a moment, and said to the driver, "Turn right at the intersection ahead, in front of Zui Xiang Pavilion."

Jiang Sichen couldn't tell whether she was hungry or nervous about having dinner with Chu Yu. Although it was not the first time they had dinner together, this time was a little different from the last time. Last time they had a small hot pot, and they had to go back to work after dinner, which was probably similar to the nature of a work meal, but this time it was after get off work, and it was considered a private meal, which was definitely different.

The car drove to the door of the restaurant. As soon as the door opened, a hotel service staff came to pick up with a big umbrella. The service was particularly thoughtful. Jiang Sichen followed Chu Yu, and he didn't even bother to look at the restaurant. His eyes always followed the person walking in front of him. President Chu actually had dinner with him after get off work. Did he feel that their relationship had become closer?

After ordering, the two sat face to face. Chu Yu asked curiously, "Are you eating dinner alone?"

"Huh? You're not eating?" Jiang Sichen was still wondering, didn't they both order dishes just now?

Chu Yu's eyebrows jumped, what kind of brain circuit is this person, "I mean, you don't eat dinner with your boyfriend?" Chu Yu originally wanted to ask her if she had to wait for her boyfriend or something, but then he thought, what does it have to do with him, it's all her own business, so he said, "No, if you feel it's not enough, you can order another dish."

"Are the dishes big? We ordered three dishes, which should be enough for the two of us."

Chu Yu just raised his chin towards the table next to him, meaning that she should decide by herself based on the size of the dishes.

"Oh, then these." Jiang Sichen returned the menu to the waiter.

Jiang Sichen wanted to explain clearly that he was single and didn't have a boyfriend! But seeing Chu Yu lowered his head to play with his phone, it seemed that he didn't want to continue chatting, so he could only use his phone to casually swipe the video. This misunderstanding is actually just a matter of explaining a sentence, but Jiang Sichen always feels that there must be an opportunity to talk about this matter before it can be said, otherwise it feels strange and abrupt to suddenly say it without a beginning or an end.

Fortunately, the dishes were served fairly quickly, and the awkward situation of the two people playing with their phones did not last too long. Jiang Sichen watched Chu Yu slowly pick up chopsticks to eat, and then he started to eat. Every time she ate a dish, she couldn't help but praise, "Wow, it's so delicious, Mr. Chu, how do you always know so many delicious restaurants?"

Chu Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. She liked Jiang Sichen's admiring tone towards her, and her chin unconsciously raised a few degrees, "I don't like to cook, so I often go out to eat."

"Really, every restaurant you took us to eat was super delicious. I think you can be a food blogger." If she wants to be a food store explorer, Jiang Sichen thinks she will definitely be popular.

"I think there are only a few good restaurants." After all, Chu Yu doesn't think it's as amazing as it was at the beginning because she eats there often. Besides, the chances of stepping on thunder in many restaurants are higher. She goes there because her friends recommend many of them.

When Jiang Sichen encounters good food, she will relax a lot. The happiness brought by food is really hard to match with other things. In addition, she has been getting along with Chu Yu for a long time, so she is not as reserved as before, and her true character is gradually revealed.

Every dish is delicious. Jiang Sichen's chopsticks never stop. She looks satisfied with every bite, which makes others more hungry. Chu Yu is the same. Originally, this restaurant is close to home. She comes here frequently and feels a little tired of eating. It's just because it's raining today and it's inconvenient to go to a place too far, so she comes here to eat. But seeing Jiang Sichen eating so deliciously, her appetite is also opened, and she eats more than usual. She also agrees with Jiang Sichen's statement that delicious food can really make people happy.

So at this moment, although it was still raining outside and the two of them didn't know how to go back later, it didn't affect Chu Yu's good mood at the moment.

"Boss Chu, I'll treat you to this meal~" Jiang Sichen wiped her mouth, still feeling very sorry for scratching Chu Yu's car. She directly transferred money to him, but he didn't take it. Chu Yu had always treated her to meals.

"Yeah." Chu Yu responded lightly, thinking that this meal didn't cost much, so she could pay if she wanted to.

After dinner, the rain was also light. When Jiang Sichen and the others came out, the restaurant also lent them an umbrella. The umbrella was quite big and covered the two of them tightly, but the rain in late summer and early autumn, mixed with the night wind, felt very cool. Jiang Sichen didn't feel too cold, but she felt that Chu Yu was holding his arms and shrinking slightly, as if he was a little cold. She really wanted to hug Boss Chu's shoulders directly like in the novel, but she would definitely be beaten away by the homophobic Boss Chu, she thought. Suddenly, Jiang Sichen felt that the misunderstanding of "having a boyfriend" was not a bad thing. Although Jiang Sichen did not really have any other thoughts about Chu Yu, who doesn't want to be friends with a cute woman?

Be friends? Jiang Sichen recalled this thought that flashed through her mind. She used to keep a distance from Chu Yu because she was her boss, and a boss who was not easy to get along with. But now she doesn't really regard Chu Yu as a boss. Since she won the lottery, she has a sense of superiority in her mind. She feels that there seems to be no big gap between herself and Chu Yu. Jiang Sichen originally had no resistance to Chu Yu's cute appearance that was almost like a cartoon face. In addition, their relationship has become closer recently. She also likes this kind of cold and domineering personality. The two originally contradictory qualities are given to Chu Yu at the same time, which makes Jiang Sichen more attractive.

"Have you ever thought about getting promoted?"

Jiang Sichen was originally thinking about random things in her mind, and was stunned by Chu Yu's sudden question. She had thought about this before, but she had never thought about it again since she won the lottery. After all, she had always planned to quit her job and enjoy life at home after completing this project. However, in front of Chu Yu, who was very motivated and ambitious, she couldn't show too much laziness, so she said seriously, "I have thought about it, I want to be a team leader."

Chu Yu never expected this answer. She paused and didn't know what to say to her. She originally wanted to test her ambition. Chu Yu didn't like people with too big ambitions. Such people were difficult for her to control, and she didn't like them. But Chu Yu also didn't like people with no ambition. Such people could hardly create useful value. But for someone like Jiang Sichen who had a "small" goal, it couldn't be said that it was impossible, but... it was too small!

In fact, with Jiang Sichen's performance in the past two years, she could have been promoted to team leader long ago, but her supervisor mentioned it once in front of Chu Yu, saying that Jiang Sichen always lacked enthusiasm at work, which Chu Yu could see from the clock-in records. She was the one who left work the most punctually every day. He also said that Jiang Sichen was not good at interpersonal relationships and organizational skills. At that time, Chu Yu didn't know much about Jiang Sichen, but only thought that she was an honest and introverted person, and was indeed more suitable for being a grassroots employee, so she chose someone else that time.

However, Chu Yu was quite satisfied with Jiang Sichen's performance during this period. She completed her work well and was generally obedient. She didn't want Jiang Sichen to just be at the bottom and do basic work. She should be more useful to her. "There will be new policy documents coming down soon, and the group may take action. I guess there will be layoffs and personnel changes in the company."

"Are you going to...lay me off?" Although Jiang Sichen is not afraid of unemployment, she will feel uncomfortable after being laid off by the company. Resigning and being laid off are different. She doesn't care about the N+1, she cares about the breath.

Chu Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes in front of Jiang Sichen. Sometimes it's really hard to tell whether this is smart or not. There is always a lack of tacit understanding in their communication. "I want to give you a promotion and a raise!" Chu Yu has never encountered such a thing, as if she was asking others to give her a promotion and a raise.

"Oh, thank you, boss!~" Jiang Sichen smiled and bowed his head. Because the movement was a bit large, Chu Yu seemed to be bowing to her, just like the emoticon package of receiving a red envelope, so he curled his lips and chuckled.
