“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.

She did not eat much for lunch and had planned for a snack in the afternoon. But she had been kept busy the whole day, and her stomach was now grumbling loudly.

She ate everything in the mealbox, and when she looked up, everyone was gone from the office.

The crowded and noisy office in the day was suddenly silent. The emptiness made her a little scared.

Zhuang Nainai packed up and walked out.

Si Zhengting had not replied to her message. He was probably already home by now.

Zhuang Nainai checked the bus route on her phone. She walked to the lobby and planned on taking the bus home.

On the top floor, Si Zhengting looked restlessly at the wall clock and at his phone.

It was already 8:30 pm. Why was the design team still working?

He furrowed his brows and looked at Ji Chen. “Was dinner delivered?”

“Yes, Sir, they were.”

Ji Chen then looked up and continued, “Like you requested, no ginger in Madam’s meal.”

Si Zhengting looked up abruptly, a look of puzzlement flashing across his eyes. “What do you mean ‘no ginger in Madam’s meal’? What about the others?”

Ji Chen looked down, not daring to reply under the formidable air of his boss.

Mr. Si had requested for no ginger in the dinner. He was taking into account Madam’s preference, was he not?

However, if everyone else had no ginger in their food, how could Madam know of his sincerity and special attention towards her?

Therefore, he had made the call to give Madam a different mealbox. Madam would finally understand Mr. Si’s feelings now...

Ji Chen was anxious. He had been working for Si Zhengting for many years and understood him well. But this was the first time he had disobeyed his orders.

Ji Chen heard no more reply and looked up at Si Zhengting to see his deep gaze fixed in front of him. He broke out of his trance after a while and fixed Ji Chen with a sharp stare.

Ji Chen’s heart leaped to his throat and he said fearfully, “Sir...”

“You are fired if there’s a next time.” Ji Chen heaved a sigh of relief upon those words.

His words were menacing, but his tone... he was not angry at all!

Right then, the door was opened, and May, the secretary, stood at the doorway. “Sir, everyone has left at your request.”

Si Zhengting looked up instantly. “Everyone?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Everyone had left. Why had she not given him a call?

Chapter 105: What Is It with That Special Order Without Ginger?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Si Zhengting looked at his phone and found no unread texts.

He opened his phone records. There were no unanswered calls as well.

His brows knitted tightly, and his eyes grew dark. He stood up abruptly, reached for his suit jacket, and announced coldly. “Home.”

There was a bus stop at the entrance of the Imperial Group.

Zhuang Nainai was there, checking her phone for the next bus. The next bus 11 would only arrive in another 10 minutes.

She gave a long sigh and looked at the street lights in front of her in a daze.

She wondered if she should talk about her dinner with Si Zhengting when she gets home.

She bit her lips and was in deep thoughts about her dilemma when two strong car beams shone in her face. The brightness made Zhuang Nainai instinctively raise her hands to shield her eyes, and she squinted to see a car drive over from the carpark of the Imperial Group.

A number of luxurious sedans drove past her.

They were followed by a large silver Maybach, which stopped right beside her.

The window to the backseat was wound down to reveal Si Zhengting’s expressionless face.

His face shone bright under the dim lighting, and Zhuang Nainai caught sight of him right away.

He demanded coldly, “Get in.”

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up. She looked back at the office building and asked excitedly, “You just got off work too?”

Ji Chen, following in the car behind them, shook his head with bewilderment.

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?”
