She took a bite. The duck was properly processed, the skin white and tender, fat but not greasy, leaving a sweet taste in the mouth.
"Yes, it's delicious."
Zhu Yu praised her generously.
She put down her chopsticks and looked up to see a figure walking past the glass.
Could it be Lee Qingdong?
There was no mistaking it.
This was a famous hotel in the Ningcheng, maybe Lee Qingdong stayed there too, Zhu Yu thought.
At the thought of him, even the most delicious food tasted like wax.
Unable to cope with the passion of the opposite sex, she apologized and hurried out of the Chinese restaurant.
Before she could even reach the elevator, Zhu Yu received a temporary notice, requesting him to submit a quarterly work summary early tomorrow.
She was stunned and immediately replied: "But I'm on business at Ningcheng, can I return it next week?"
Although the person in charge expressed sympathy, his attitude was still unnegotiable.
"Please deliver the document to my mailbox by ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhu Yu, you've worked hard. "
Looking at the two lines of words on the screen, Zhu Yu wanted to cry but no tears came out.
The one who was lacking did not lack any work. He was even more tired than usual!
After drinking all the coffee in the hotel room, Zhu Yu saw that there was a Western Restaurant on the second floor, so she decided to make a cup of coffee.
She had just entered the Western Restaurant when she was stopped by a waiter.
"Lady, I'm sorry, the Western Restaurant is not open to the public for the time being. Please have a meal in another restaurant."
Zhu Yu looked around in shock, realizing that there was not even a single customer inside.
It was the dining hour and the occupancy rate in this hotel was not low.
It looked like he had really been taken over by someone.
"Could you pack me a cup of coffee, please?"
she asked pleadingly.
Without coffee, he might as well type and fall asleep.
"I'm not going in either. I'm just standing outside, okay?"
Zhu Yu asked again.
She had probably never seen such a troublesome customer before, so the waiter could only say to her, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the manager."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhu Yu obediently stood at the entrance of the Western Restaurant. As expected, she did not take a step inside.
Soon, the waiter returned.
"Hello, please wait a moment. Our coffee is freshly grinded, so it will take some time."
Zhu Yu's face was full of gratitude. Just as she was about to express her thanks, she suddenly heard crisp footsteps coming from behind him.
It was the sound of high heels hitting the marble floor, one after another. It was a rhythmic sound.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Jing Yuann's flawless, exquisite face.
Jing Yuann held onto Lee Qingdong's arm, the two of them had just come out from the elevator, followed by the assistant, bodyguards, and the driver.
Because of Lee Qingdong's tall stature, even though there were several people blocking him, Zhu Yu was still able to see through him with a single glance.
No wonder the scene had been cleared, it was for this reason.
"Sorry, please take the coffee to room 1526."
Zhu Yu told the waiter softly that she was about to escape in the other direction.
"Hey, Miss Zhu, you're here too?"
Without waiting for her to finish her words, Jing Yuann had already seen Zhu Yu and asked in surprise.
Helpless, Zhu Yu could only turn around. "Yes, what a coincidence."
Jing Yuann took the initiative and said: "I have a trade show here tomorrow night, I'll give you two tickets later, bring your friends here to play."
Zhu Yu immediately declined: "I'm sorry, I'm here on a business trip, I might not be able to make it."
With that, she raised the work permit hanging around her neck and waved at Jing Yuann, indicating that she was not lying.
"Oh, so it's like that."
Jing Yuann did not insist.
She held Lee Qingdong's arm and said to him coquettishly, "I heard that the steak here is very delicious. I only have one mouthful, okay?"
The man indifferently replied, "You said it yourself. The 48 hours before the stage time is strictly controlled."
With that, Lee Qingdong turned to an assistant behind his and said: "Prepare a chicken breast salad for Miss Jing."
The assistant immediately answered and quickly walked into the western restaurant.
"I hate it. I want to have dinner with you."
Jing Yuann kept shaking Lee Qingdong's arm. Her tone was soft and tender, sounding like she was extremely wronged.
"Yeah, I know."
He sent the driver to the garage.
Listening to their conversation, Zhu Yu could only stand at the side, looking straight into their hearts, staring at the tips of their feet.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the waiter took a cup of coffee and gave it to Zhu Yu.
She paid quickly and bowed her head to go.
In the end, Jing Yuann's group also left.
They were going to the underground garage, and they were going to split the two elevators next to them.
Zhu Yu, who had been squeezed in last place, could only hold onto the cup of hot coffee as she looked at the red numbers popping up in front of him. She hoped that the elevator could take him up quickly.
Suddenly, a warm breath sprayed over his ears, "Is the duck delicious?"
Zhu Yu was shocked, she almost spilled the coffee in her hands.
Lee Qingdong had already mentally prepared himself. After he finished speaking, he took two steps back to the side, in case he really got burned.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of being bitten for ten years.
"I just had a taste of the local name, how come in your mouth... "So strange?"
"Is the duck delicious?" It was as if she had done something shameful.
"I'm not surprised. Some people are feeling guilty. Heh heh, second generation official's chief's hospitality, I think you're enjoying it quite a lot. He forgot about Lu Haorann so quickly. If he knew that his junior sister was actually a woman that was very young, he would probably be disappointed. "
Lee Qingdong said with disdain.
"What are you talking about? We're just learning together. It's not as bad as you make it sound. "I'm a local, but I'm doing what a host should do …"
Zhu Yu explained, feeling a little weak.
A few of her colleagues could tell that the man was interested in her and would always help create opportunities for her.
In the past two days, Zhu Yu was in an awkward situation, so she did not dare to get angry on the spot.
Fortunately, she would be returning the day after tomorrow, and she probably wouldn't have another chance to meet her again in the future.
"Friends of the host... "Heh, he never asked for your room number. He's planning to talk to you about work tonight?"
When the elevator arrived, Lee Qingdong intentionally blocked in front of Zhu Yu, and his tone became more rude.
"Mr Lee, please behave yourself!"
Zhu Yu became stern, and her voice became colder.
She thought that if he kept pestering her, she would rather climb the stairs.
Unexpectedly, Lee Qingdong did not say anything and stepped aside.
The elevator was empty, just the two of them.
In the narrow space, Zhu Yu stood guard at the corner of the door. Her entire body was stretched tight, waiting for the elevator to arrive, and then immediately rushed out.
Seeing through her thoughts, Lee Qingdong sneered, faced the mirror wall, and slowly held onto a button on his shirt.
"Ding!"
He had reached the fifteenth floor.
Zhu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, but the moment the elevator opened, she impatiently walked out.
However, the man behind him was like a shadow, and was always two to three steps away from Zhu Yu.
Reaching the door of the room, Zhu Yu gripped the room card with both of her hands, completely drenched in sweat.
