Chu Chu didn’t explain much about the delivery. Instead, she looked at the two people who entered the office and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Chen Yifan saw President Chu’s gaze swept over at him. Xia Xiaoxiao explained, “President Chu, Chen Yifan has an idea about his future plans and wants to tell you about it.”

“Yes.” 

Chu Chu  was deeply impressed by Chen Yifan. After all, he was a “million yuan trainee”.

Chen Yifan plucked up his courage and explained his thoughts to President Chu, expressing his intention to focus only on the stage. As he said, he carefully looked at the boss’s face. President Chu just nodded in response. She neither said yes nor a no, which made Chen Yifan even more uncertain.

President Chu’s expression was too calm and outsiders couldn’t really read any information from it.

Chen Yifan finished speaking, but when President Chu didn’t say anything, he asked, “What do you think?”

Chen Yifan looked at President Chu hopefully, hoping that his plan was supported by his boss.

Chu Chu pondered for a moment and finally said, “Sorry…”

When Chen Yifan heard the words, his heart plummeted and he had a bad feeling.

Chu Chu: “I’m a bit too hungry. Now my head isn’t working. Can you wait for a while, we can talk again later?”

She was really hungry and dumbfounded. Hearing Chen Yifan’s words was like hearing a monk chanting.

Chen Yifan: “…”

Chen Yifan: No wonder he couldn’t read President Chu’s face. There was nothing to read at all!

Chen Yifan hurriedly said, “Of course, you can eat first…”

Xia Xiaoxiao actively suggested, “Shall I go to bring food for you from nearby? Delivery may not be so fast.”

Chu Chu waved her hand and declined, “No, this one is different.”

Half an hour later, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Mr. Zhang in casual clothes. She was puzzled. There was a sense of time and space confusion. She curiously said, “Sir, why are you here?”

He should be off work from Yinda Investment. It was strange that Mr. Zhang appeared in Chenxing Film and Television during off hours.

Xia Xiaoxiao saw Mr. Zhang, who wasn’t wearing a suit and was even more puzzled knowing that Mr. Zong usually had very high requirements for his demeanor. If Head Secretary Wang Qing was the “straight A student” standard in the workplace, then the chief assistant Zhang Jianian was the “academic God” level. He had never had any flaws or negligence and was as accurate as a robot.

The robot Zhang Jianian was wearing a black sweater. He didn’t look like an elegant elite, but a bit like a college student with a fresh aura. His hair was a bit messy, as if he had hurried out the door while carrying a packed lunch box in his hand, looking very homely.

Zhang Jianian glanced at her and said lightly, “Delivery.”

Xia Xiaoxiao: “?”

Zhang Jianian went straight to the desk, put the packed lunch box in front of President Chu and said as calmly as possible, “Please eat.”

Chu Chu happily opened the lid and smelled the fresh fragrance of boiled fish. There was a transparent and fat fish immersed in the soup and the tender and crisp bean sprouts hidden underneath. She showed a satisfied look and exclaimed, “It came at the right time, faster than I thought!”

Chen Yifan observed secretly from the sidelines. President Chu’s expression was very much like shooting a food delivery APP advertisement and Mr. Zhang who appeared could also be rated as the most handsome delivery boy.

Zhang Jianian was praised by the boss, but there was no joy on his face. 

He reluctantly said, “President Chu, when I said I am on call, means that you can call when facing a critical moment.”

Zhang Jianian specially emphasized the “critical moment” and wanted to attract the people’s attention. Their understandings were obviously different. She called him anytime which was obviously not in line with his original intention. When he received the call, he was so bewildered. The boss asked him to bring boiled fish in the middle of the night. What was this?

Even if he was a dogleg (the villain’s right hand man), he was also a dignified dogleg… He came immediately without a stop.

Chu Chu plausibly said: “I’m almost starving to death. Isn’t the situation critical enough? People rely on food to live.”

Zhang Jianian: “…”

Zhang Jianian: This logic seems to be fine.

He comforted himself in his heart, as long as President Chu didn’t hit people, these little things wouldn’t matter.

Chu Chu looked at the delicious boiled fish and steaming white rice. Her attention was completely attracted by the food, she said sincerely, “Thank auntie for me!”

The boiled fish Zhang Yafang’s mom made was truly unique. Chu Chu would never forget it. At that time, she just asked Zhang Jianian to bring the food. She thought it was a delivery, but she didn’t expect a surprise. When Chu Chu saw the lunch box from home, she knew that it must be home cooking, not an order from outside. It was probably Zhang Yafang’s mom cooking.

It was hard to find authentic boiled fish places outside.

“Hmm…” Zhang Jianian was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated, “Okay.”

He thought about it and decided to let this wonderful misunderstanding continue, without telling the truth that he made it himself. Zhang Yafang’s mom’s work time and rest time were quite regular. When he came, she had already fallen asleep. How could she get up and cook fish? If he had dared to wake her up to cook, he might have been seen directly on the cutting board.

Zhang Jianian was quite prescient. He thought that letting President Chu know that he could cook fish was probably not a good thing, but would be the beginning of a new round of oppression. He simply chose to remain silent wisely.

The scent of boiled fish was too tempting. Except for the delivery man Zhang Jianian, Xia Xiaoxiao and Chen Yifan’s eyes drifted to President Chu eating. They weren’t hungry at all, but they were eager to try it and their eyes got bright.

The most frightening thing was that President Chu had a very good appetite. She ate with gusto, but they could only stand by as a spectator, which was basically a torture!

Chu Chu finally noticed the sight of the two and she was a little embarrassed, “Is it too fragrant?”

Xia Xiaoxiao and Chen Yifan nodded at the same time with bright eyes, as if they wanted her to say something.

Chu Chu politely said, “You both are welcome…”

Just when the two thought that President Chu was going to invite them to have a taste, they heard her boldly say, “You can smell the scents freely.”

Xia Xiaoxiao and Chen Yifan: “…”

Zhang Jianian: Sure enough, President Chu, who is also extremely protective of food today, is so stingy.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Chen Yifan were devastated and waited for President Chu to finish her meal so they could finally talk about business. Zhang Jianian quietly packed up the lunch box, sat in the corner and browsed the information on the phone, as the background board as usual.

Chen Yifan looked around the other three people in the office, only to feel that the pressure on him was overwhelming. He didn’t have the courage to discuss this with President Chu. Now that the three giants of the company gathered in the office, Chen Yifan didn’t know how to speak.

“President Chu, I think …”

Chen Yifan opened his mouth, repeating his thoughts again and quietly waited for President Chu’s final thoughts. President Chu’s face was serious and she nodded. Her tight expression also made Chen Yifan breathless. His heart was beating nervously.

Chu Chu forced to raise her eyelids, but she was still defeated in the end. She said in a regretful tone, “I’m sorry…I’m a little sleepy as I’m full, so I didn’t listen well…”

Chen Yifan: “…”

He felt that it was a mistake to make an appointment with President Chu. Late at night, the boss just thought about eating and even confused their hearts and souls with boiled fish! It was crazy!

Chu Chu was quite ashamed of her state, but she had just finished eating after a busy day. So she couldn’t concentrate. She tried hard to capture Chen Yifan’s words, but failed again. Sure enough, the supper was harmful.

President Chu was drowsy. Zhang Jianian, who was silent on the side, tried to wake her up. He simply helped her out, “But you can’t guarantee that the road to music will go smoothly, right? Maybe try acting and if it’s not suitable you can change.”

Chen Yifan only wanted to focus on stage performance, which was based on the fact that he had never acted before. Zhang Jianian felt that it was too early to make a decision at Chen Yifan’s age. It was a pity that he completely gave up acting without even the first attempt.

Chen Yifan shook his head and said firmly, “No, I want to sing.”

Zhang Jianian looked at his stubborn eyes and resisted to tell his thoughts, for fear of hurting the child’s fragile heart.

Zhang Jianian: But President Chu can’t even listen to you, how can she listen to singing?
