Chapter 42 Softening
Under the scorching sun, the car got stuck in congested traffic not far away, and the hot air blew through the reinforced concrete and into the car window.

In the car, Xie Xun, who was in the back seat, stared at the flashing red lights, feeling distracted.

Finally, when the countdown was about to end and the light turned green, he spoke:

"You go back and guard."

Secretary Zhou always obeyed his boss's orders, but when he got out of the car, he felt a little confused.

He doesn't have to go to dinner with him?What are you going back to guard?

Before he could ask more questions, the car had already driven away, and Secretary Zhou was in a mess in the wind.

Ten minutes later, in an Italian restaurant, a man and a woman were sitting at both ends of a large white dining table.

The woman has fashionable linen curls, exquisite makeup, and a champagne-colored Chanel suit that is particularly slim.

She was reluctant when her father sent her over yesterday to discuss business, but as soon as she walked in and saw the man by the window, she couldn't move her eyes away.

The man was wearing a crisp silver-gray suit, with an elegant black brocade handkerchief folded in his jacket pocket.

Xu Shi felt stuffy, so he took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair.

There is a dark blue shirt inside, which is very drapey and outlines the strong outline of the back. A long dark silver pattern stretches from the shoulders to the cuffs, which is low-key and extremely luxurious.

He lowered his eyes while cutting the steak, and his eyebrows were distant and indifferent, yet particularly attractive.

The more the woman watched, the more satisfied she became. Seeing that he remained silent, she spoke first, her voice as sweet as if she had been craving saccharine:

"What do you think of the taste here?"

Xie Xun finally raised his eyelids.

At this time, she put one hand on her chin, held a spoon with the other hand to stir the cream soup, scooped a spoonful of it into her mouth, and sipped the spoon very slowly with her mouth moving and her eyes straight.

The scarlet lips gradually engulfed the silver spoon, and foam stained the corners of the mouth, forming a strong visual conflict.

But for some reason, what appeared in front of Xie Xun's eyes was the image of someone eating roast chicken.

His movements were not polite at all, his mouth was full of grease and his hands were full of grease, his pink cheeks were bulging, and his watery eyes were clear and innocent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but soften his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

The woman was quite pleased with herself when she saw this. Sure enough, no man could escape her charm.

So, she adjusted her sitting position, with her two long legs crossed under the table, and the red high heels on her feet swayed, as if they had inadvertently rubbed against the man's ankles.

I thought I would get a knowing look, but I didn't expect that the handsome face that was soft one second would return to a poker face the next second, and the eyes were like the ice of the twelfth lunar month.

The female client gave a shy smile, quickly restrained her expression, and only dared to discuss business with him later, so she wouldn't make another mistake.

When Xie Xun came back, he saw that the reception area in the lobby was empty.

His dark eyes were cold, and he entered the office surrounded by low pressure.

Secretary Zhou came in with the documents and noticed that the temperature in the office was lower than in the morning. His scalp tightened immediately and he put the documents on his desk and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped.

"When did she leave?"

Secretary Zhou reacted with some surprise:

"Manager Su? She hasn't left yet."

Guessing Mr. Xie's thoughts, he immediately added: "I should have gone to the bathroom."

Sure enough, the tight pressure of the air relaxed in vain.

Secretary Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Mr. Xie flipping through the information with his fingers. He did not know if he had read it or not.

After a long while, he seemed to say casually:
"Has she eaten yet?"

Secretary Zhou's eyes flashed: "It seems that I haven't eaten." In fact, he didn't know whether Manager Su had eaten or not. Sure enough, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man on the boss's chair frowning.

Secretary Zhou waited for a while, but when the other party didn't express his position, he asked tentatively: "...What about Manager Su?"

Xie Xun's black eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Ignore her."

Secretary Zhou sighed softly and returned to his work station. Manager Su had done something unforgivable to offend this person like this. It seemed that Mr. Xie was determined. It would not be easy to recover.

However, after a while, the president's internal line rang again.

Half an hour later, Su Luo saw the girl at the front desk hand over a beautifully packaged takeaway. The other person hesitated and said:
"Miss Su, we accidentally ordered an extra copy at noon, it would be a waste to throw it away, please use it quickly..."

After saying that, she put the takeout on the coffee table, turned around and ran back without waiting for the other party to refuse.

It was as if a mission had finally been accomplished.

Su Luo raised her forehead, she had already eaten while Xie Xun went out, and she hasn't digested it yet.

She glanced at the price tag and was startled.

It costs more than 60 knives, which is more than 400 RMB when converted into RMB. It is considered a luxury configuration in takeout.

Are front desk salaries so high now?

She looked suspiciously, and saw that the girl avoided her gaze, lowered her head and sorted out the documents, with a guilty expression on her face.

Out of curiosity, she opened the bag anyway.

In the exquisite packaging box, the rich seafood sauce is poured over the pasta, the large pieces of abalone are complete and plump, and they are paired with two golden chicken legs.

Su Luo's eyes moved, and the pink bubbles in her heart were overflowing.

But she really couldn't eat it now, so she had to cover the lunch box again and stuff it into the bag intact, planning to take it back for dinner.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Xun came out of the elevator and passed by the reception area. He saw Su Luo lying on the sofa and falling asleep.

Secretary Zhou, who was following behind, was helpless. Why didn't Mr. Xie sit upright while Manager Su sat upright? She fell asleep as soon as Mr. Xie came out.

I thought the boss would be angry, but he saw him walking softly, walking to the sofa and standing still, his eyes falling softly on her face.

The woman's upper body was tilted to one side, and her long hair covered most of her face. There was a soft leather pillow under her face, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was not sleeping soundly.

He bowed down and moved her hair away from her forehead, revealing her smooth forehead.

The two thin and curved eyebrows were drawn by himself in the morning. Then he thought of what she said, and Shun withdrew his hand.

As soon as I stood up, I caught a glimpse of the intact takeout on the table, and my heart felt heavy again.

So, he grabbed the takeout tape and walked towards the door, throwing it into the trash can outside the door.

When it was time to get off work, Su Luo was woken up by the front desk and found that the lunch box on the table was missing, her eyes were a little blank.

In the evening, Xie Xun did not go back as expected.

She was lying alone on the empty big bed, staring at the ceiling, kicking the mattress, rolling around again and burying her head under the pillow, groaning in frustration.

In a few seconds, she sat up abruptly and slid the phone away.

At this time, Xie Xun, who was sitting on the bedside reading a book, was also a little absent-minded.

Every time he scanned a few lines, he glanced at the phone on the bed sheet. He repeated this several times, but the screen didn't light up.

Finally, he closed the book with a snap, got up and walked to the next door.

Standing at the door, he raised and lowered the back of his hand, but couldn't keep knocking, as if what he knocked was not the door, but his own dignity and bottom line.

When he returned to the house, he couldn't sleep until about one o'clock in the morning, when the mobile phone notification light suddenly came on.
