Chapter 9

Nan Ge did not even have time to return to her dormitory before she drove her Lamborghini straight to the restaurant.

The sun had risen early in the morning in Huai City, and most of the snow on the road had melted. Nan Ge did not encounter any trouble along the way.

With a swish, the supercar drifted and pulled up at the restaurant entrance.

The snow that had turned into water was swept up by the tires. The manager was shocked. Before he could dodge, he was splashed with mud.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you here.” Nan Ge pushed the door open and got out of the car. She raised the scissors door high. “Are you alright?”

The manager was speechless. He suspected that she was taking revenge for the bad review this morning. Unfortunately, he had no evidence.

“Hehe. Don’t worry about it.” The manager put on a fake smile and handed over the food he had prepared. “Drive slowly on the road. You must deliver it safely.”

“Wow. So much food.”

Nan Ge placed the food on the passenger seat before reaching out her hand to get the order details. “Is this for a team-building event or a party?”

As she muttered, her eyes narrowed. Then, she brought the takeaway menu closer to her eyes and read it carefully again. She read the address word by word.

“Huasheng Group’s president’s office?”

As in the company belonging to Shen Yanqing?

——

20 minutes later, Nan Ge stepped on the brakes and steadily parked the car outside Huasheng Group.

“Hello.”

It was noon and the receptionist was chatting. When she heard the commotion, she quickly stood up. “Hello, who are you looking for?”

Nan Ge held two large bags in each hand and gestured. “The president’s office ordered some food.”

“Oh, got it. One moment, please.” The receptionist quickly called the president’s office for confirmation. After hanging up, the receptionist smiled politely at her. “Please wait a moment. Someone will come down to get you soon.”

Nan Ge nodded, not fully understanding.

A large corporation was indeed different. Someone even personally came to receive delivery staff for food delivery. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

After a few minutes, Nan Ge saw the elevator door open. A young man in a business suit looked around and finally ran towards her.

“Are you Miss Nan Ge?” Assistant Yuan stepped forward and asked.

“Yes, that’s me.” Nan Ge waved the takeout in her hand. “I’m the delivery guy from Irelyn. Did you order the food?”

“Yes, yes.” Assistant Yuan hurriedly took a portion and said in frustration, “This seems to be a little too much. I might have to trouble you to help me carry it up.”

Of course, Nan Ge had no objections. “No problem.”

“This way, please.” Assistant Yuan smiled and gestured for her to come with him. Nan Ge sighed again as she followed him. He indeed lived up to his reputation as someone working directly for the president.

Those who did not know better would think that she was some esteemed guest.

After entering the elevator, Assistant Yuan secretly sized up the young lady beside him from the corner of his eye. Judging from her age, she should be a university student.

She was very small and thin. How could she deliver food?

She must be working part-time to save money. That would probably make the most sense.

“Excuse me, but is President Shen around?”

When the little girl spoke, her voice had a softness that was unique to Southern girls. One could even hear the unique dialect of this area.

“Yes, he is.” Assistant Yuan faced her. “You were the one who delivered dinner for President Shen yesterday, right?”

“Uh huh.” Nan Ge nodded and picked up a carrier bag beside her. “This is the scarf I borrowed yesterday. Please help me pass it to President Shen.”

“I’m afraid that’s not very convenient.”

They were already giving each other scarves! Assistant Yuan did not dare to get involved in personal matters. “You can go over yourself later.”

“Huh? That’s not very appropriate, is it?” It was not that Nan Ge did not want to meet Shen Yanqing, but she felt that it was a little rude to enter his office as a delivery man.

It was even unnecessary.

“No, it’s fine. President Shen requested for you to make the delivery anyway.”

“Huh?”

Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at the top floor. Assistant Yuan did not say much and gestured for her to follow.

As soon as she entered the president’s office, Nan Ge keenly noticed that the people here were looking at her strangely.

It was probably cautiousness with a hint of curiosity, curiosity with a hint of scrutiny, and a hint of… relief in the scrutiny.

It was as if they were looking at a panda.

Nan Ge was confused.

However, she did not care. Since she had already gotten the money for the meal, she did not take it to heart!

“Here’s your food. I wish everyone a pleasant meal.” Thinking of this, she happily put down the food and smiled sweetly at everyone, preparing to retreat.

Assistant Yuan looked at the office not far away and coughed gently. “Miss Nan Ge, President Shen’s office is over there.”

“Oh right. This is President Shen’s portion. Help me bring it over.”

Nan Ge took it in a daze and was pushed two steps forward. When she came back to her senses, she exclaimed and turned to look at Assistant Yuan. She asked with uncertainty, “Can I really go in?”

Wasn’t that rude? What if he gave her a bad review?

Assistant Yuan gestured for her to go ahead. There was no need to say anything else.

Seeing she did not move, Assistant Yuan could only continue to lie to her. “President Shen always had a weak stomach. If you take too long, he might faint from hunger.”

“Then why aren’t you bringing it in?”

Assistant Yuan replied calmly, “I want to eat too.”

“…”

Why did she have a feeling that there was something wrong with everyone in Huasheng Group?

——

When there was a knock on the door, Shen Yanqing was sitting at his desk, studying takeout software.

Hearing the knock, he said loudly, “Come in.”

Pushing open the door, Nan Ge slowly poked her head in and observed the situation inside.

As she looked inside sneakily, she could see Shen Yanqing sitting in front of the computer with his head slightly lowered. There were a few open documents beside him, and he was holding his phone with a focused expression.

Looked like he was busy working.

From the looks of it, it was probably a big project worth more than a billion.

Nan Ge hesitated. It was not a good time to disturb him, right?

At this moment, the person behind the desk seemed to have sensed something and slowly raised his head to look in her direction.

After being caught red-handed, Nan Ge smiled awkwardly. “Good afternoon, Mr. Shen. I’m here to deliver food to you.”

Returning to his senses, Shen Yanqing put down his phone and stood up immediately. “Please come in.”

Nan Ge nodded and walked in with her things.

“Here’s your food.”

She placed the meal on his table and placed the carrier bag on the side. She pushed it forward and explained. “This is the handkerchief and scarf. I’ve already washed them. Thank you.”

Shen Yanqing glanced at the bag on the table. He did not expect her to really bring the stuff.

“Have you had lunch?”

“Oh, not yet,” Nan Ge said honestly. “I received your order right after class ended, so I flew here without stopping!”

Shen Yanqing was amused by her words. Every time Nan Ge spoke, the expression on her face was very vivid. She had a lively personality, and a single look from her was able to change the atmosphere.

“Thank you. Do you want to stay and eat before you leave?”

“No need. I’m good.” Nan Ge waved her hand. “I’ll just go back to school and eat.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

The two of them looked over at the same time and saw Assistant Yuan suddenly push open the door. He looked very worried.

“President Shen, we ordered an extra meal! It’s all my fault for counting wrongly, but we can’t waste it. I see Miss Nan Ge hasn’t left yet. Why don’t you help us finish the food?”

Nan Ge felt bewildered.
