Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Love for a House Extending to Its Crow

After Yang Sheng returned, Ji Rui seemed to be busier than before.

And Le Tong, from being the president’s secretary, became the secretary for both the president and the special assistant, doing the work of two people alone, naturally busier than before.

Of course, it’s not that Ji Rui couldn’t bear to give Yang Sheng a secretary, but because the things these two are busy with during this time aren’t convenient for too many people to know, and Le Tong is the most trusted by both of them.

Le Tong accompanied the two in their endless busy schedule, eating all three meals in the company out of convenience, and so her cheesy baked shrimp dish has been on hold and hasn’t been executed.

After busying for several days, the work finally took a temporary break around 10 o’clock this evening.

Yang Sheng stretched lazily, lounging on a chair and squinting at Le Tong tidying up the mess on the desk.

"Tongtong, your senior is treating you to a late-night snack, what would you like to eat?"

Le Tong didn’t even think, blurting out, "Cheesy baked shrimp..."

"Oh, girl, where do you find a hotel to make cheesy baked shrimp at this hour?!" Yang Sheng thought she was joking.

It was then Le Tong realized she had let it slip, but once the words left her mouth, the craving in her belly was stirred up, now restless and a bit stubborn for it.

"Aren’t there plenty of street stalls that serve shrimp?"

Le Tong turned her head, looking at Yang Sheng with child-like expectation, such a Le Tong, Yang Sheng couldn’t possibly refuse.

"Alright, then let’s go to the street stalls and see if there’s any available."

Although Yang Sheng is a well-paid elite, he didn’t mind occasionally dining at street stalls.

Of course, those who would go with him to dine at street stalls were mostly college buddies, or it would be Le Tong. Ji Rui, who had grown up with a dedicated chef from a young age, would never accompany him to such places.

"Mr. President, I’ll be taking Tongtong to the street stalls for snacks, so feel free." Yang Sheng consciously excluded Ji Rui from such unbefitting places for Ji Rui.

Ji Rui seemed not to hear Yang Sheng’s words, only looking at Le Tong to ask, "Do you want to eat Longxiang Hotel’s cheesy baked shrimp? I’ll check if they still have ingredients."

Speaking, he picked up the phone ready to dial.

Le Tong looked at Ji Rui in surprise, it took her a moment to react, pressing the disconnect button with one hand.

"No need for the trouble, Mr. President, I’ll go with Senior to the street stalls."

Yang Sheng also raised an eyebrow, looking at Ji Rui with eyes full of interest.

"Mr. President, when did you become so accommodating to your secretary? How come I didn’t know?"

Ji Rui met Yang Sheng’s gaze calmly, speaking in an exceptionally flat tone. "It’s me who wants to eat."

Yang Sheng eyed him skeptically, "Then have them prepare it and deliver it to you, while Tongtong and I go to the street stalls for hot pot."

Yang Sheng said, standing up and pulling Le Tong to leave.

"Hey, Senior, the materials aren’t tidied up yet..."

"Aren’t you hungry? Didn’t you want to eat shrimp? Tidy up tomorrow!" Yang Sheng presumptuously acted as if he were Le Tong’s superior.

"Mr. President..."

Le Tong was forcibly pulled away, only able to turn to Ji Rui for help.

"Go ahead, tidy up tomorrow."

Hearing Ji Rui’s generous decision, Le Tong almost wanted to kneel and thank him!

Senior is indeed a remarkable figure, as because of him, she also got to enjoy quite a few perks.

At least, Mr. President these days not only hasn’t given her a hard time but has been excessively nice!

The so-called love and affection, probably refers to such a strange behavior from President Ji?

Ji Rui quickly followed and in the parking lot, Ji Rui lowered the car window and asked Yang Sheng.

"Where are we eating?"

Yang Sheng paused, it took him quite a while to react, "You’re coming with us?"

Ji Rui nodded, "Mm, I’m hungry too!"

Yang Sheng didn’t ask further, gave the address, and two cars drove to the street stall area one after the other.

After about ten minutes, two high-end cars parked among a bunch of electric scooters, the three got out and sat at a fairly clean street stall.

The three, dressed in matching white shirts and black suits, seemed to be from a different world than the casually dressed surroundings.

Yang Sheng looked at Ji Rui with concern, for once, didn’t mock him.

"Rui, it’s your first time here, right?"

To Yang Sheng and Le Tong’s surprise, the expectedly uncomfortable President Ji, was sitting peacefully on the chair, not even frowning once.

"Mm."

The server brought trays with brewed tea and cutlery, Le Tong knew Ji Rui had a cleanliness quirk, so she voluntarily washed his cutlery and cup with boiling water, then filled the cup with tea and handed it to Ji Rui.

Yang Sheng envied Ji Rui, "Oh, Rui, your treatment really is like an emperor, no wonder you wouldn’t let Tongtong go to me!"

This sentence was highly ambiguous, Le Tong worried Ji Rui would misunderstand, glared at Yang Sheng, "Senior, what’s with this letting, sounds like I’m some private possession of yours."

Saying that, she took Yang Sheng’s cutlery as well and repeated the procedure she’d done before.

"Such a virtuous young sister, whoever gets you is really lucky!"

Yang Sheng waved for the server to come over to order food, "Rui, what do you want to eat?"

Ji Rui pointed with his chin at Le Tong, "Whatever she’s having!"

Yang Sheng looked oddly at Ji Rui for a good three or four seconds, "Rui, if the company had a Best Boss Award, you’d definitely be the winner."

Ji Rui’s expression remained as stoic as ever, "It’s her you’re treating, I’m just tagging along."

Seems President Ji is still quite self-aware.

"Mr. President, I’m not picky with food, you order according to your taste, I’m sure I’ll like everything." Le Tong, accustomed to serving, centering everything around Mr. President, elicited an eye roll from Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng tapped Le Tong on the head with the menu, "Tongtong, he’s right, he’s just tagging along, order whatever you want."

Seeing both of them say that, Le Tong knew persisting would seem pretentious. So she obediently took the menu from Yang Sheng’s hand, and told the server a long list of things Ji Rui had never even heard of.

"Mr. President, I remember you can eat spicy, is the hot pot base spicy okay?"

Yang Sheng woefully complained again, "Tongtong, do you still consider me as your senior?"

"Of course, you love spicy food, isn’t asking you a redundant question?" Le Tong retorted to him unceremoniously.

"You..."

Ji Rui’s lips curled slightly, "It’s okay. Weren’t you wanting to eat shrimp?"

He actually still remembered Le Tong’s purpose for the trip.

Le Tong nodded, "Mm, also order a pound of shrimp. Can it be cheesy baked? If not, then salt and pepper or garlic."

While speaking, she buried her head in the menu again, glanced up at the two, "Want to drink anything?"
