Chapter 6 Director's Free Lunch 3
"that's it?"
Liang Xiaodi gasped for air, with a surprised expression as if to say, "Isn't that enough?" He Weining put down the food bag, turned around and put on his coat.
"A client just called and asked me to eat out."
Liang Xiaodi pouted. She was so anxious to ask me to buy it, but she didn't eat it. She missed a bowl of oil-splashed noodles... He Weining saw her little thoughts, but she remained calm on the surface: "I'll leave these foods to you."
Liang Xiaodi widened her eyes!
"If you don't want to eat it, give it to someone else." He Weining narrowed his eyes.
"I'll eat it!" Liang Xiaodi pounced on the food happily.
As soon as He Weining left, she returned to her seat with the food and started to eat with a happy look on her face.
At this moment, Liu Yiqing, the leader of the original painting team, hurried into the office, looked around, and walked straight to Liang Xiaodi and asked, "Where is Director He?"
Liang Xiaodi saw that the person was Team Leader Liu Yiqing, whom she was not familiar with, and immediately put down her chopsticks and replied, "He went out to eat..."
"When are you coming back?"
“No…”
Liu Yiqing was anxious. He put the manuscript on Liang Xiaodi's desk and said earnestly, "Can you do me a favor? Today is the deadline. I thought I could hand it in on time, but he left. I have something to do at home and I have to take a leave in the afternoon. Can you help me give the manuscript to him?"
This is the design she submitted for the company's new logo design competition. If she can't hand it in today, all her hard work over this period of time will be wasted.
Liang Xiaodi patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. I'll give it to him as soon as he comes back!"
Liu Yiqing was very grateful to hear her say this.
Due to the heavy responsibility she had, Liang Xiaodi was looking forward to He Weining's return the whole afternoon, but when the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, she was the only one left in the entire office.
Liang Xiaodi looked at the watch and became anxious. He Weining would not be back at this time. But if she left like this, what would happen to Liu Yiqing's paintings? If she just left them alone, wouldn't it harm her? Liang Xiaodi pulled out her phone helplessly.
This was the first time she took the initiative to call him. It was impossible for her not to be nervous, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered the phone... She tried several more times but couldn't get through.
No way, do you really have to be so unlucky?
After much thought, Liang Xiaodi had no choice but to send a message to He Weining, telling him about this matter and saying that she was waiting for him in the company and would definitely hand the drawing to him personally because this competition was of great importance.
The message was sent but fell on deaf ears. Liang Xiaodi played on the computer for a while out of boredom. Then she felt sleepy and fell asleep on the table without realizing it.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice sounded behind her: "You haven't left yet?"
Liang Xiaodi opened her hazy eyes, like a rabbit that hadn't woken up yet. When she saw that it was He Weining standing in front of her, she sat up straight.
"you are back!"
"Just got back." He Weining, who usually smells like orchid, had a slight smell of alcohol on him. The light from the incandescent lamp shone on his face, reflecting a faint red. His obsidian eyes stared at Liang Xiaodi, and this look gave her the illusion of being electrocuted.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." His eyes swept over the drawing on the table, and his heart softened.
"I'm glad to have the things in your hands!" Liang Xiaodi rubbed his stiff arms, with sleep marks on his cheeks.
He Weining nodded drunkenly: "I can't drive today, let's go downstairs and take a taxi."
After going downstairs, she finally understood what He Weining meant by taking a taxi together.
In the taxi, besides the driver, there were only two of them. The slender He Weining was curled up in the back seat, looking uncomfortable. In addition, he was drunk, so he couldn't help but lean towards Liang Xiaodi. The thin Liang Xiaodi sat next to him, feeling his breath, her heart was pounding, and she was so nervous that her whole body was stiff. She couldn't help but think of when she was in high school, she had a crush on a boy in the next class. Song Yan scolded her for being a person with evil intentions but no courage. At that time, she particularly disagreed, but now, she felt that Song Yan's words were really precious.
"Director He, have you drunk a lot of wine?" After thinking for a long time, Liang Xiaodi finally spoke.
"Hmm..." He Weining rubbed his head, "I don't drink often."
Liang Xiaodi's mind went blank. How should she respond to this sentence?
"Is lunch delicious?" He Weining seemed to be a little more sober and turned to look at Liang Xiaodi.
“Oh, yummy!”
"That's good." He Weining nodded and asked casually, "Are you full?"
"Uh, I'm full, full..." Liang Xiaodi was embarrassed. Why did he always talk about this topic?
Another silence...
Liang Xiaodi lowered her head and played with her fingers. She finally thought of an interesting topic. She turned her head and found that He Weining had fallen asleep tiredly by the window. It seemed that he was really tired. Under the dim light, his handsome profile was looming. Liang Xiaodi couldn't help but move closer. His sleeping face was as calm as he was. His long eyelashes seemed fake, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, making people want to kiss him.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but move closer and closer... Just then, the driver shouted in a loud voice: "Wake up, young man, we've arrived!"
He Weining suddenly opened his eyes, and Liang Xiaodi was so scared that she leaned back suddenly, and with a "bang", her head hit the car window. He Weining frowned after seeing this, but soon a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. Liang Xiaodi's face suddenly burned, and she wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately.
He probably didn’t see what he did just now… Liang Xiaodi muttered to himself.
"I'm here." He Weining's voice quickly returned to normal.
"Oh, goodbye..." Liang Xiaodi didn't dare to look at him.
He Weining paid the fare before getting off the car. Liang Xiaodi wanted to give him her share, but was stopped by his irresistible look.
Well, saving money is always good.
"Be careful." After saying that, He Weining patted Liang Xiaodi's head and gave her a gentle smile.
Liang Xiaodi watched his slender figure disappear into the night through the car window. There had never been a moment when she felt happier than she did now.
"Girl, your boyfriend is so handsome!"
The driver's words brought Liang Xiaodi back from her reverie from the scene just now.
"Master, what did you say?"
"I say, you are so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend!"
Boy friend!
Liang Xiaodi was overjoyed by these words. She patted the driver on the shoulder and said happily, "Master, you have a good eye!"
