Looking at the stars

Chapter 20 Robbers

Go to work on Monday.

Gu Nianbei was a little nervous and came to the company early.

Because she didn't know Li Xiangnan's habits when he came to the company, she didn't know when he would come. She could only recite the work schedule that Gary gave her yesterday.

At nine o'clock, Gu Nianbei heard the sound of leather shoes heels hitting the floor.

Li Xiangnan is here.

Gu Nianbei held his breath, pursed his lips into a professional smile, and greeted Li Xiangnan in a sunny voice: Good morning, Mr. Li!

Li Xiangnan turned his head and glanced at her as usual, but today the glance was longer than usual.

Gu Nianbei was just about to report today's plans to him, but she didn't expect Li Xiangnan to speak before her.

Send me the materials you'll need for the meeting later.

The first thing he did was to assign tasks, without mentioning Gary's resignation at all. Hmm... this was consistent with Gu Nianbei's impression of Li Xiangnan.

Okay. Gu Nianbei didn't waste any words and took the task in a proper manner.

In fact, she had already sorted out the information and just had to send it over.

After finishing this task, Gu Nianbei glanced in the direction of the president's office and remembered that when Gary was on duty, he would take the initiative to make a cup of coffee for Li Xiangnan every morning.

So, Gu Nianbei stood up and went to make a cup of mocha without permission.

After knocking on Mr. Li’s office door, Gu Nianbei walked in with a cup of coffee. Mr. Li, I made you a cup of mocha.

Well, leave it here. Li Xiangnan responded without even looking up.

Li Xiangnan's attitude of accepting things as a matter of course was what Gu Nianbei was happy to see. Her slightly uneasy mood gradually calmed down, and she turned around and left the office.

I thought, fortunately, everything is going well so far.

At half past ten, Li Xiangnan was going to hold an important meeting. Gu Nianbei thought she could participate, but Li Xiangnan did not let her into the meeting room in the end.

I returned to my desk and worked on other things. When I looked up at the time again, it was almost 12 o'clock. However... Li Xiangnan hadn't finished the meeting yet.

Looking at their attitude, Gu Nianbei estimated that the meeting would not be over so quickly, and now it was lunch time.

In accordance with professional custom, Gu Nianbei took the initiative to order lunch for Li Xiangnan.

The lunch I ordered was specially delivered from the company cafeteria. Maybe because it was ordered for Li Xiangnan, the delivery speed was incredibly fast... It arrived not long after I placed the order.

13 o'clock.

The door of the conference room opened and a group of people walked out. Li Xiangnan was the leader, and he walked straight to the president's office while looking at his phone.

Seeing this, Gu Nianbei quickly stood up and greeted him, saying: Mr. Li, I have ordered lunch for you and put it in your office.

Li Xiangnan said without even raising his head: Okay, thank you!

Watching Li Xiangnan walk into the president's office, Gu Nianbei breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to his seat, and ate his lunch with peace of mind.

Less than ten minutes later, the phone on Gu Nianbei's desk rang. She glanced at it and picked up the phone.

Hello? Mr. Li, what can I do for you?

Come in.

A brief and powerful command...

Gu Nianbei suddenly had a bad feeling. She hung up the phone, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and hurried to the president's office.

When she went in, Li Xiangnan was staring at the delivered lunch on the table expressionlessly. She called out softly: "Mr. Li."

Li Xiangnan glanced at her, picked up the food on the lunch box with chopsticks, raised his eyebrows and asked her: It tastes so bad, how can you eat it?

Is it bad? She also ordered this meal and didn’t think it was bad…

What do you think? Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Gu Nianbei looked at his expression and felt as if he was going to sentence her to make a serious mistake in the next second, so she quickly added: I ordered it in the company cafeteria.

The implication is: If you think it tastes bad, it's the company cafeteria's fault, just order it to be rectified...

Li Xiangnan looked at Gu Nianbei silently for a few seconds, and finally waved at her and said: Take the food away.

Gu Nianbei hesitated a little and suggested: How about I order a new one for you?

No, I'm going out to eat.

After saying that, Li Xiangnan stood up, picked up his phone and strode out of the office.

…

Gu Nianbei looked at his back, then looked at the food on the table, and wondered to himself: Is it so bad?

After dealing with Li Xiangnan's lunch box, Gu Nianbei contacted Gary to inquire about the situation.

As a result, Gary replied to her like this:

[The lunch box you ordered arrived too early, didn't it? It might be cold, or it might have been in the box for too long and no longer tasted fresh. ]

[I forgot to tell you before, Mr. Li is very particular about food...]

[Also, if you order food for delivery, you should ask the chefs you eat with regularly to make a personal order. They will use special delivery tableware to ensure that the food is fresh and not spoiled.]

Gu Nianbei stared at Gary's replies, rubbed his temples, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: How did he manage to grow so tall when he is such a picky eater?

In order to avoid making the same mistake again next time, Gu Nianbei asked Gary for the contact information of those masters.

I took a quick nap and continued working in the afternoon.

During this period, Gu Nianbei met Li Xiangnan several times. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have no longer taken the mistake about lunch to heart. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Gu Nianbei felt a little hungry, so he ordered a milk tea and a small cake online.

When the things were delivered, Li Xiangnan happened to come back from outside. He saw what she was holding, raised his eyebrows and asked: What is this?

Milk tea and cake, my afternoon tea. Gu Nianbei answered truthfully.

Then, Li Xiangnan glanced at her and hooked his finger at her.

Hmm? Gu Nianbei was confused.

I've requisitioned your afternoon tea. Li Xiangnan extended his hand to her.

Gu Nianbei suddenly began to doubt his life. The milk tea and cake were not even warm in his hands... What an unscrupulous boss!

Gu Nianbei: You probably don’t like these.

Li Xiangnan: I haven’t even eaten yet, how do you know I don’t like it?

...These are all cheap goods. Gu Nianbei forced a smile and reminded Li Xiangnan.

Are you mocking me? Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows.

No.

Gu Nianbei pursed her lips. Since the boss had said this...she could only obediently hand the afternoon tea in her hand to Li Xiangnan.

Li Xiangnan opened the package and took a look, then naturally inserted the straw into the milk tea cup, opened his mouth and took a sip, savored it carefully, then curled his lips and said to Gu Nianbei: It tastes not bad.

After saying that, Li Xiangnan leisurely took the milk tea and cake and walked back to his office...

Gu Nianbei glared at his back and thought, he complained about the food in the company cafeteria at noon, so how could he now taste these cheap foods that were not suitable for his status?

Gu Nianbei silently returned to his seat, picked up his phone and planned to order another one for himself...

When she lowered her head to look at her phone to choose dessert, she couldn't help but curse under her breath: Robber!

As soon as the voice fell, a magnetic male voice suddenly rang in my ears:

Are you scolding me?
