As Xia Lan was eating, she did not realise that there was a living person at the door.

From what Xiao Ze said, his father only knew how to make breakfast, nothing else.

The man's eyes were as deep as the ocean, with a hint of amusement in them: "Marry who?"

Or rather, he was staring at the breakfast in her hands.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Xi Jue squinted his eyes, with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh! Not bad, thank you Gourmet. " Xia Lan thanked him sincerely.

"Stealing Boss's food so early in the morning, are you so poor now? "You don't even have the money for a breakfast?" No matter how he looked at it, this woman was not someone who would lose face just for a meal.

"Snatch?" Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue in confusion. Wasn't this brought to her by Xiao Ze?

"Otherwise? Could it be that you want a boss like me to bring you breakfast? " The smile on Gu Xi Jue's face became even more mischievous.

This smile didn't contain any contempt or belittlement, but was instead one that was naturally proud and arrogant.

Seeing his arrogant look, Xia Lan thought for a bit, then understood that Xiao Ze's ghost spirit must have only asked the Gourmet to bring breakfast, it didn't tell him that the breakfast was for her right.

So that's why Gourmet felt that she was blatantly robbing for breakfast?

She couldn't help but find it funny. It seemed like both of them had been played by that little fellow.

Xia Lan did not sell Xiao Ze out, but asked back with Gu Xi Jue's words, "I'm already so poor, Gourmet, will you give me a raise?"

"No!" The company has its own rules and regulations. As long as one has the ability, it's natural to raise one's salary. For people like you who make mistakes every few days, they can only deduct their salary. " Gu Xi Jue rejected it flatly.

Xia Lan curled her lips. Luckily, she didn't have much hope and knew that Fascism didn't have any sympathy.

Gu Xi Jue sized Xia Lan up from head to toe, and laughed meaningfully.

He bent down with his face not even five centimeters away from Xia Lan and used one hand to pick at her lower jaw. "However, if you really lack money, and make me happy, I can actually help you."

The frivolous expression on the handsome face in front of him made Xia Lan feel extremely uncomfortable. What did he take her for? What did he take himself for?

Xia Lan smiled, picked up the sandwich that she had half-eaten, and handed it over to him. "How about I return it to you?"

Gu Xi Jue glanced at the messy eating food and frowned, extremely disdainful. Why did he need to eat half of the sandwich?

This woman was not cute at all. She was so scared just by a joke, how could she be so honest?

"Alright, you keep it for yourself." Gu Xi Jue put the half sandwich back into her hands, got up, and walked out.

During lunch, Gu Xi Jue caused quite a stir when he walked into the canteen. He ate a lot of meals, and most of the time, he ate outside with some company's CEO, so he rarely came to the canteen.

But Gu Xi Jue, as the CEO, was not unreasonable. As long as he was not going out, he would come to the staff dining at the staff dining hall and eat with them.

Xia Lan heard everyone's discussion and looked over to him. She couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if Gu Xi Jue didn't speak, simply standing there was as if a halo covered his head, and light radiated in all directions.

It was unknown why, but there were a lot of people at the dining hall, but Gu Xi Jue managed to catch a glimpse of Xia Lan, so he happened to look over. Their four eyes met, and it was as if they had seen something in her eyes, but at the same time, it seemed as if there was nothing there.

Seeing that there was still an empty table at her table, the corners of his mouth curled up into a natural smile. With his hands in his pockets, he swaggered to the opposite side of her table, lifted his pants, and sat down on an empty seat.

"Go and get me a meal." After Gu Xi Jue impolitely finished instructing, he looked at Xia Lan's dining plate and added, "Someone like you is fine."

When the employees who were eating with Xia Lan saw their big boss sit down, they were so shocked that they immediately packed up their plates: "We're done eating, Gourmet, Xia Secretary, you guys enjoy yourselves."

"Sigh …" Xia Lan felt very awkward. So what if he left the two of them alone, it was already too late to stop them.

"Hurry up and go, what am I going to eat when there's no more food." Gu Xi Jue looked at her plate again. "Don't tell me you want me to eat your leftovers?"

It scared Xia Lan so much that she immediately got up to get her food. If he wanted to eat, she wouldn't let him. It was already very strange for him to eat at her table. If he picked up her leftovers and ate, would she still be able to stay in the company?

After Xia Lan left, Gu Xi Jue used his chopsticks to touch her dining plates, it was so simple to eat, there was not even a little bit of meat, could it be that this woman was so poor that he did not have money to eat?

After a while, Xia Lan came back with a plate. She placed the plate in front of him and lowered her head to continue eating without a word.

"Didn't you say that you want to be like me, Gourmet?" Xia Lan rolled his eyes inwardly, why is it so hard to serve.

She was working for him as a secretary, and she didn't say she wanted to work for him.

"Then why don't you eat some meat?" Gu Xi Jue seized the opportunity to ask.

"So poor." Xia Lan took advantage of what he had just said and replied casually.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't even have money to eat, it was just that she wanted to eat a little and get angry, she didn't expect Gu Xi Jue to take his words for real.

Gu Xi Jue calmly glanced at her but did not say anything. He lowered his head to eat, but all he was thinking about was one problem.

Could it be …. He had been too harsh on her and had deducted all of her living expenses?

"Don't be so shabby when you go out with me in the future, you make it seem like I'm abusing my employees." Gu Xi Jue purposely spoke venomously, afraid that the lady in front of him would see through his thoughts.

Xia Lan let out a 'hehe' sound, "Could it be that Gourmet is not harsh enough?"

After he finished asking, Xia Lan continued to grumble in his heart. Wasn't it because you deducted too much money from me, that made my heart ache?

Gu Xi Jue's face darkened, his thin lips tightly pursed: "Don't think that just because you say so, I won't deduct your prize money."
