Chapter 104 - His Sincerity
“Hey, Leader Zhang, you don’t want it anymore? Isn’t this yours?”
There were many in the crowd who were long unhappy with Zhang Chaowen’s bullying of newcomers. One suggested, “Alright, Zhuang Nainai, hurry and eat it, Leader Zhang is letting you have it.”
Zhuang Nainai smiled and nodded. “Then, thanks, Leader Zhang!”
The team burst into laughter.
Zhang Chaowen’s face became even darker.
“May brought a message from Mr. Si just now: We should take it slow. If we can’t finish today, we can continue tomorrow. You may leave after dinner.” A colleague, Su Mei, reminded Zhuang Nainai about this and patted her on the shoulder. She then retrieved her bag and made a move.
The people in the office started to pack up. Zhuang Nainai brought the mealbox back to her seat.
Mr. Si only left so late because he was waiting for you!
However, he instead saw Si Zhengting give a small nod.
Zhuang Nainai got into the car, and the car made for the Si residence.
Zhuang Nainai watched Beijing’s night view pass by through the window for a while. She grew tired and quietly turned to see Si Zhengting sitting upright next to her. Even his side view was breathtakingly beautiful.
He was flawless from all angles!
She was preoccupied in her thoughts when he suddenly turned to look out of the window, away from her.
Zhuang Nainai was lost for words.
Zhuang Nainai did not notice that Si Zhengting’s ears had turned a little red. A hint of uneasiness also started to creep in his expression.
Zhuang Nainai deliberated over her dinner today. She mulled over on how to thank him and finally said, “Em… don’t work too hard all the time, you have to take care of your health.”
Her remark was followed by a long silence.
Zhuang Nainai felt her face burn up in embarrassment.
His lack of response made her feel like she’d said something stupid.
She decided not to talk to him anymore.
She just vowed to herself to never speak another word when he asked coldly, “How’s your first day of work?”
Zhuang Nainai froze. Was he showing concern towards her?
She felt a thrill and was about to reply when Si Zhengting added, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m just concerned for the company’s employees.”
Zhuang Nainai was lost for words.
Was she imagining things again?
Her excitement vanished instantly.
But, why did he have to add that explanation?
Looking at his back resolutely turned towards her, Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists. She fought the growing anxiety and agitation within her and blurted out, “So is the dinner without ginger your idea of showing concern to your employees too?”
