Chapter 15: Plenty Of Snacks
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“A spy has made her mark in my house. How could I go to work in peace?” Although Lu Zhao was remaining at home, he didn’t indulge in lust and bring any of Xiao Ting’s worries to life. He answered Luo Ying’s questions while taking out his tablet and viewing the group’s financial report.
When he started to work in earnest, his entire being turned particularly stern. Luo Ying sat on the single sofa at the side. She originally wanted to chat with him to improve their relationship, but when she saw this, she did not dare to disturb him.
Luo Ying was about to turn her head away to play with her phone, but Lu Zhao suddenly said, “There are snacks in the cabinet on your left.”
Luo Ying’s eyes lit up. She quickly opened the cabinet and saw a large bag full of colorful snacks. “Wow, there are so many snacks hidden here.”
She casually took out a bag of potato chips and popped it open it with a “bang.” She stuffed a piece into her mouth and crunched it. She said in surprise, “It’s mustard! I like mustard!”
Lu Zhao saw her squeezing her eyes shut in bliss. She even stood up and bounced on the tips of her toes. He could not understand why she was so satisfied with just a bag of snacks, but when he saw her joy, he felt a warmth spreading in his heart. The snacks he had specially asked Xiao Ting to prepare last night had not been in vain.
How did he feel when he suddenly received a call from his boss in the middle of the night, asking him to prepare all kinds of snacks and to send them to his house early in the morning?
Xiao Ting could only shrug. Who asked the Lu Group to pay better than its peers, and for Lu Zhao to be particularly generous? He could only resign himself to fate and get out of bed. Then, he drove to a 24-hour shopping mall, filled a truck with snacks, and delivered them to the villa early in the morning.
Initially, he thought that his mission would be completed once he delivered the snacks to the villa. He did not expect Chairman Lu to personally climb up the truck and check through each bag. Then, he picked through them and left half of them behind. He put a portion of them in the storage cabinet in the living room and asked him to put the smaller ones in the car.
Xiao Ting was stunned for a while before he found his tongue. He pointed at the other half of the snacks that had been picked out and asked, “What should we do with the rest?”
He had clearly seen President Lu being particularly fixated on three flavors of snacks: mustard, tomato, and matcha.
Lu Zhao didn’t even look at the remaining snacks. “Do as you see fit.”
This time, Xiao Ting was no longer confused. He happily carried a large box of snacks and placed it on the back seat of the car.
When he was picking out the snacks last night, he had picked the expensive ones. He would not make such an expensive purchase for himself.
It would be a waste to throw away such premium snacks, so he decided to use it to demonstrate his generosity. He would take it back tonight to please his girlfriend. Regardless, his girlfriend was not as picky as Luo Ying when it came to flavors.
Xiao Ting thought to himself. ‘I no longer despise my boss for asking me to work in the middle of the night.’ He also thought of going back to ask his girlfriend if she had any expensive cravings in particular. If these snack-runs became a routine, he could use his official position for his personal gain.
All in all, it was a truckload of snacks, which pleased the four of them.
Luo Ying opened a bag of potato chips. After eating two chips in satisfaction, she tossed it aside and then opened a bag of biscuits. “This is delicious too.” After eating one piece, she opened another bag of beef jerky.
Lu Zhao saw that she had opened seven or eight bags of snacks in a short time, and only one or two pieces were taken from each bag before they were thrown on the table. He was puzzled. “Didn’t you just call it delicious? Why did you stop after a few bites?”
Luo Ying swallowed the dried mango in her mouth and had a “you wouldn’t get it” expression on her face. Although snacks are delicious, she had to rein herself in. She was a female celebrity, and maintaining her figure was a belief that had been engraved in her DNA. So, although she did not diet and loved to eat snacks, she would not indulge herself. She would still be very restrained when eating, only tasting a little of each dish to satisfy her craving.
“What about the rest?”
“I’m going to seal it up and keep it, of course.” Although Luo Ying had never been short of money since she was a child, thanks to her old man’s education, she had developed a good habit of cherishing food since she was young. They could easily last for a week with a sealant clip, so she could eat a little every day.
Lu Zhao wanted to mention that it wasn’t good to keep the snacks open for too long, and if she couldn’t finish them, he could get someone to dispose of them, but when he saw Luo Ying happily asking Zhang to get them stored in airtight containers, he fell silent.
Just then, the police arrived. Luo Ying let out a gleeful yelp and threw away her snacks excitedly. She opened the door to welcome the police.
