Cao Lu's face turned a little red at this time, not because she was shy, but because she felt helpless and anxious.
"No, Mu You, Xinxin, if Special Assistant Ding and I really had something, how could we hide it from you?"
When Cao Lu said this, Xiao Muyou and Shen Xin showed disdain, as if to say, haha, do you think we can believe it?
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Cao Lu sighed helplessly and explained.
"Originally, I was thinking about inviting you over for dinner today and ordering a table of food from a hotel outside. Then I wasn't familiar with the better hotels here, so I thought about asking Assistant Ding if he knew anyone.
Invite him to come to my house for dinner. Then he found out and said that he would rather cook directly, but I know a few home-cooked dishes. When he found out, he said that he could cook it and could help me, and he said that since he invited you to come to his house for dinner
It’s better to cook the food yourself and have it delivered to you by the hotel, then it’s better to go directly to the hotel to eat. I thought about it and it seemed like this, and that’s how it went.”
Cao Lu said everything in one breath. When Xiao Muyou and Shen Xin heard it, they couldn't help but secretly praise the busy voice in the kitchen. This method is so clever. If you still can't tell the thoughts of the person inside, that is
Blind and stupid.
However, seeing the plain expression on Cao Lu's face, it seems that these two are King Xiangxiang and the goddess Wu Meng. It's not necessarily true. Maybe Cao Lu hasn't figured it out yet.
Although Cao Lu also fell in love, it was still in college, and it was Cao Lu who was pursued by the other party. However, the two broke up not long after they got together, and Cao Lu did not show too much sadness.
Later, when I was about to graduate, I had another boyfriend, but that time was shorter. After knowing the situation at Cao Lu's family, they broke up without saying a word. This also caused Cao Lu to basically stop thinking about it and work hard.
Career, so Cao Lu probably hasn’t really loved anyone yet.
Among the three of them, Shen Xin is the more emotional. She has had boyfriends one after another, but the feelings come and go quickly.
After Cao Lu finished explaining, she went to the kitchen again before Xiao Muyou and the others could speak. After all, she was the one who invited everyone to come for dinner. She couldn't let Assistant Ding do everything.
Xiao Muyou and Shen Xin looked at each other and said nothing. They each showed expressions that this was not an easy matter, and then the three of them went to sit on the sofa.
"A Yan, Ding Hao is your assistant. How is he? Have you ever been in love?"
As Cao Lu's best friend, of course he is very concerned about her emotional affairs. Fortunately, Ding Hao is Lei Yan's assistant, otherwise it would be difficult to understand her.
But it was clear that Xiao Muyou overestimated how much Lei Yan cared about his subordinates, as Lei Yan said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Ding Hao is just my assistant, and I only interact with him because of work. However, his character should be fine. He is very popular in the company, works hard, and can endure hardships. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to come directly to the top floor after three or four years of employment.
Work. As for his personal feelings, I don’t know. I never ask about the personal lives of my subordinates, as long as they don’t have any problems at work.”
Well, Xiao Muyou should have known a long time ago that this man was kind of humane around her, but he definitely didn't smile outside. Just like now, when he looked at herself, he looked affectionate, but when he looked at Cao Lu and Shen Xin
, with a paralyzed face again, it’s really amazing.
Xiao Muyou was a little disappointed and said with a complaint on his face.
"You are an incompetent leader. Ding Hao is also your assistant after all. He is the person closest to you at work. Shouldn't you care more about his affairs? This will also help you work more harmoniously, right?
?”
"It's okay. So far, there are no problems at work."
Lei Yan replied lightly, and Xiao Muyou just rolled his eyes.
"Umugoda, don't you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Muyou was a little angry. Do you have to say everything so clearly?
But this time, Lei Yan shook his head. He could distinguish between public and private affairs, and he was not stupid.
"I know that you are worried that your friend will be hurt, but based on my understanding of Ding Hao, that person is not a person who plays with emotions. If you are worried, I will find a chance to ask him tomorrow."
"Huh, that's pretty much it. I'll leave this matter to you. Lulu and her family have completely broken up now. From now on, she will only have two friends, Xinxin and me. We can't see her being raped.
People bully.”
Lei Yan nodded and didn't say anything else, but he had already put it aside to appreciate it. After all, it was a matter assigned by his future wife and he had to do it.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, dinner started. There were five people, eight dishes, one soup, and a fruit after the meal. Each dish was generous in portion, and it looked full of color, flavor, and exquisite presentation. I don’t know if I thought it was real.
It was sent from a hotel outside.
"Assistant Ding, thank you for your hard work tonight. I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."
After Xiao Muyou sat down, he looked at the sumptuous dinner and smiled and said a few words of praise.
Ding Hao was a little flattered when he saw his boss's girlfriend praising him, so he scratched his head modestly and said.
"My father used to be a chef, and he was influenced by it since childhood. Later, he came to Kyoto to live alone. He likes to cook a few dishes by himself. Although the taste is not as good as the ones in hotels outside, it is better in terms of hygiene and health."
When Ding Hao said this, Xiao Muyou and Shen Xin couldn't help but look at each other with admiration.
Ding Hao must be in his mid-twenties, one or two years older than the three women. Not many young people nowadays are willing to cook, and they can cook a large table of dishes. If you don't have some skills, you don't dare to show off like this.
.
"Come, let's have a drink to celebrate Lulu's move-in."
Ding Hao poured red wine for everyone, stood up, and everyone raised their glasses and said to Cao Lu.
"Lulu, congratulations."
"Thanks."
Cao Lu is very happy today. She finally has a house of her own here. Although she has to pay the monthly payment every month, with her current income, the monthly payment is basically unburdened.
After drinking, Xiao Muyou handed the red envelope prepared by Lei Yan to Cao Lu.
"Lulu, this is the housewarming red envelope that A Yan and I gave you. It's not much. Don't refuse. I originally wanted to prepare some gifts for you, but I don't know what to buy. I'll just give you a red envelope and tell you what you want to buy.
Just buy whatever you want.”
Cao Lu saw that the red envelopes were very thick. It would be impossible to get a few thousand yuan each. In fact, they usually received red envelopes when moving to a new home, but they were only a few hundred yuan, and the most close ones were only one or two thousand yuan.
Cao Lu wanted to refuse, but Xiao Muyou had already helped her a lot. To buy this house, Xiao Muyou lent her one million at once. This feeling was something she would never forget, so she didn't want Xiao Muyou and the others to spend any more money.
, but after hearing Xiao Muyou’s words and looking at Xiao Muyou’s expression, he knew that he couldn’t refuse this red envelope.
Cao Lu accepted it, raised her glass and said to Xiao Muyou.
"Mu You, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to have my own house here now. You have helped me a lot since college. Although you didn't say it, I know that I had many part-time jobs at that time. You secretly arranged it for me, and I actually understand everything, thank you."
At this time, Cao Lu looked a little excited. Xiao Muyou just smiled lightly after hearing this. In fact, she never cared about this. She just hoped that her friend could live a better life. Since she could help, then Help, never consider whether to let the other party know, or whether to receive a thank you.
After Cao Lu finished speaking, she drained the wine in her hand and then looked at Shen Xin again.
"Xinxin, you are the same. I was influenced by you when I graduated and went abroad. Later, I heard you said you wanted to come back, so I came back. Later, you bought a house in Kyoto, and I came up with this idea. Speaking of which, I have been influenced by you in many things. Now it seems that the result is not bad. Although I had a hard time abroad during those years, it has to be developed in a good direction. Otherwise, I would not have a life now. A well-paying job.”
Due to family reasons, Xiao Muyou took over Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries after graduation. However, Shen Xin was a restless person and loved to mess around since college. Cao Lu saw this and gradually became attracted to Shen Xin. Impact.
Indeed, the result was not bad. At least among their group of classmates, they were considered to be doing well. Of course, Xiao Muyou was not in this group. She was at the finish line as soon as she was born.
"Okay, why are you so pretentious? Eat food, drink wine, and let me try Chef Ding's cooking."
Shen Xin couldn't stand the current atmosphere and immediately shouted, immediately destroying the touching atmosphere. The three women looked at each other and smiled. In short, everything was kept silent and just kept it in mind.
As for Lei Yan and Ding Hao, they will be used as foils today, especially Lei Yan, who is here to make a living. At least Ding Hao helped Cao Lu a lot in buying a house.
After three rounds of drinking, the five of us and a bottle and a half of red wine were gone. The atmosphere at the table became more and more lively. The three women talked about things in college and the fun at work. Occasionally, they would drag Ding Hao along. Together, after all, the four of them are all about the same age, and they all went to university in Kyoto, so they have some common topics.
As for Lei Yan, well, it's not that he doesn't want to talk to him, but he always has a straight face, which makes him a little more gentle when he is facing Xiao Muyou, so let's forget it. It just so happens that there is nothing to talk about. .
"Assistant Ding, I see you are so handsome and you have a good job. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, Xiao Muyou suddenly asked Ding Hao. Ding Hao obviously didn't expect it, while Shen Xin had a gossipy look on his face. As for Cao Lu, well... she also seemed to have a curious expression.
Although it was quite abrupt to suddenly ask about someone's personal relationship, she was his boss's girlfriend, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and the sister-in-law of their chairman, so it seemed that he couldn't answer without answering. It just so happened that he also wanted some people to know. .
"Ms. Xiao, I am actually just an ordinary person. I have been busy with work these years and have no time to consider personal issues. The main reason is that I am afraid that I will be too busy and unable to take care of each other."
