Capítulo 1552: Chapter 1552: Who Cares About Your n (5)
“Weren’t you also once trained from a newbie, and now you’re looking down on them?” Xiao Mo said lightly.
“No, no, no, that’s not what I ant.” The assistant wiped his sweat, “I’ll go check now, see how many we’ve hired.”
“Hmm, pick a girl, girls are ticulous.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
The assistant was utterly confused; Mr. Xiao’s taste is unique. Perhaps after seeing Secretary Lin for so long, he’s looking for a change.
After returning to the hotel, Xia Chuqing imdiately reserved a spot in the restaurant. Whether Xiao Mo cos or not, it’s still good to celebrate on her own.
Although things were unpleasant with Tian Lei today, Tian Lei was kicked out of the Group, yet she succeeded in her interview, so it’s a good day.
Shen Group is truly good; they don’t care about backgrounds or connections, only talent.
Xia Chuqing thought again, she’ll report in three days and needs to submit all the docunts and find a place to rent.
She doesn’t have much money with her; many trips between the country and Paris, and at year-end, funds are tight.
Luckily there’s Song Heng; she could borrow money from him first.
Just as she was about to call Song Heng, her phone beeped: “Not busy tonight.”
It’s Xiao Mo.
Xia Chuqing smiled, was he agreeing to go out for dinner?
Even if they couldn’t be a couple, being friends wouldn’t be bad. Just not sure if he values her as a friend…
After seeing the ssage, Xia Chuqing took the bus to the restaurant right away.
Sitting by the window, she called Song Heng.
“Heng, have you finished your exams?”
“Finished, finished, why call so early, I’m so sleepy…” Song Heng said, yawning.
“I passed the interview. I’ll officially start work in three days, so won’t be able to call frequently anymore.”
“Congratulations, congrats, that’s great, keep it up.”
“Uh, can you lend so money first, I’ll return it after I get paid.” It was Xia Chuqing’s first ti borrowing money, feeling awkward, even though it was Song Heng.
“How much?”
“Two thousand, I’m afraid I can’t repay too much, two thousand should be enough.”
“I’ll give you five thousand, take it, no need to repay.”
“No, no, I have to repay.”
“I said no need to repay, so you don’t have to. Stop being so polite, just lend your notes during holiday breaks.”
Xia Chuqing’s eyes welled up; she was very moved.
From childhood to now, whenever she needed Song Heng’s help, and wanted to thank him, he’d just say “Let borrow your notes” or “Say a few good things to my dad.”
Now, he doesn’t need to borrow notes, but he doesn’t ask for any favors in return.
“Thank you, Heng.”
“Sentintal.” Song Heng yawned again, “I’ll sleep now, will transfer the money to you soon.”
“Hmm.”
This money, Xia Chuqing intended to repay, irrespective of Song Heng’s refusal.
When Xiao Mo arrived, he happened to see Xia Chuqing smiling yet secretly wiping her tears.
Such a smile is one only found on girls in love.
Feeling a burst of frustration, he still walked over undisturbed.
“Mr. Xiao, you’re here.” Xia Chuqing quickly put away her phone, “I reserved this place, didn’t know if you’d like it.”
Actually, it’s not too expensive here; she feared Xiao Mo might not be accustod to it.
“So-so.” Xiao Mo replied frankly without even glancing.
“Oh.” Xia Chuqing felt a bit let down, so-so… “Then Mr. Xiao, you order, I don’t know what you like.”
Xiao Mo remained still, hands on the table, but his eyes kept staring at her.
Xia Chuqing felt uneasy under his gaze; was her hair ssy? Were there stains on her clothes? Dirt on her face?
Just as she hesitated, Xiao Mo’s eyes turned a bit colder: “You don’t know what I like to eat?”
“…” Xia Chuqing shook her head innocently, she honestly didn’t know.
Xiao Mo’s expression darkened; years ago, she kept saying she liked him, is this how she shows her liking?
Previously, she once brought him a al delivery. While eating together, she kept saying: “I quite like this shrimp, I noticed you do too. I don’t really dislike anything, what about you?”
Originally, Xiao Mo hadn’t intended to engage with her, but upon seeing her expectant look, he said: “Not really much I dislike, just bell peppers, eggplants, potatoes, coriander…”
He listed off a bunch, and at that ti, she had widened her eyes: “You’re so picky, then how’d you grow so tall.”
She then incredulously buried her head in her al.
Xiao Mo thought she rembered, as she had paid considerable attention to know him back then.
Back then, he felt she had a child’s fickle nature; liking this today, sothing else tomorrow. Looking back now, it seems true.
Her liking him was probably just a whim. It hasn’t even been three years, and there’s no longer any sign she likes him.
Seeing Xiao Mo’s stern face, Xia Chuqing assud the environnt wasn’t to his taste and hesitated: “If you don’t like this place, I can change it.”
“Did I say I don’t like it?”
“…” Xia Chuqing’s eyes hovered over his face, troubleso.
Xia Chuqing suppressed her slight temper, she took the tablet the waiter handed and casually selected a few dishes: “Do you want boiled fish?”
“Not in the mood for fish today.”
“Oh, how about garlic shoots with pork?”
“I don’t eat garlic shoots.”
“Oh, then how about corn with pine nuts?”
“Corn isn’t fresh this season.”
“…” Xia Chuqing held back, continuing to browse the nu, “How about sweet and sour ribs?”
“Too sour.”
After listing several dish nas and being rejected by Xiao Mo, Xia Chuqing directly tossed the tablet to him: “You order, I eat anything.”
Xiao Mo didn’t take it; he just sat there watching her indifferently.
At first, Xia Chuqing endured sitting there patiently, but soon felt completely uneasy under his watch, unable to sit still.
“Mr. Xiao, please order, after the al, we should head ho for sleep.”
Xia Chuqing suppressed her little temper, after all, she’s here to thank him.
“Sleep?” Xiao Mo raised his brow, ambiguously, “I’m quite interested in that.”
“Don’t think wrong, I an once we’re full and satisfied, we should each head ho to sleep. Everyone’s busy, with things to do tomorrow.”
“What did I think wrong? I really enjoy sleeping; so what? Any problem?”
“…”
Xia Chuqing decided not to engage with debates, trying to placate him: “Mr. Xiao, could you see what to eat?”
Perhaps, today’s work was tough, and he’s venting on her.
Though she hadn’t soothed anyone before, she noticed that when her tone softened, he seed more agreeable.
“Order whatever you like.” Xiao Mo said.
Indeed, Xia Chuqing decided to appease him and order.
“Alright, I’ll order!” She smiled as she took the tablet again, casually picked a few dishes.
“There!” Xia Chuqing handed it to the waiter, “If you don’t like the food, don’t bla . Mr. Xiao, I’m genuinely here to thank you.”
