Chapter 2686: His Silent Guardianship (9)
Dan Tingye’s hand paused slightly as he held the pen, reaching for his phone. As he opened it, his eyes suddenly tightened.
Looking at the photo on the phone, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.
His long fingers brushed over the picture of Meimei holding a bowl of porridge, amusement reaching his eyes. Seeing the caption she added, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
"The porridge is delicious, I’m stuffed!"
Little glutton, is it really that good?
Dan Tingye squinted his eyes, recalling her work diary from yesterday. After hesitating for a few seconds, he drafted a text message and replied to her.
"Knock, knock—"
The office door suddenly sounded.
Yao walked in respectfully, "Young Master, it’s not office hours yet, but Young Master Jiang Nan is already waiting in the HR department. It seems like he’s serious."
"You can handle this matter. There’s no need to consult me." Dan Tingye spoke lightly.
As he finished talking, his phone vibrated suddenly. He quickly picked it up, glanced at the response, and his eyebrows gradually relaxed as he looked up.
"Cancel my dinner tonight, I have other plans."
"But sir, you’ve scheduled a meeting with the CEO of Xinsheng Pharmaceutical to discuss new drug development..." Yao’s words were interrupted.
"Reschedule it for daytime, clear my evenings for the next three months, no work arrangements." Dan Tingye leaned back in his chair, his long fingers tapping on his phone screen, his handsome face showing a growing smile.
"...Understood." Yao glanced at him, then respectfully stepped back.
The morning passed quickly, and as the hour struck, the secretary respectfully entered to inquire.
"President, would you like me to order lunch for you?"
"..."
Dan Tingye, buried in paperwork, heard the secretary’s words and glanced at his watch. His expression remained calm, but an image of Meimei holding the chicken porridge and saying she was stuffed flashed in his mind.
His lips tugged up slightly, "No need, I’ll eat at the staff cafeteria today."
"Wha- what?"
The secretary was stunned, caught off guard for a few seconds, unable to react.
She looked in shock as Dan Tingye stood from his desk, "President, the staff cafeteria is quite crowded, you..."
"No matter how crowded, there’s room for one more." Dan Tingye grabbed his coat, casually put it on, and stepped out of the office.
The secretary hurriedly followed him.
-
Planning Department.
"It’s about time, everyone can go eat." Wen Mei came out from her office, clapping her hands forcefully to remind everyone to take a break.
In the office, everyone stretched lazily and got up from their seats.
They filed out of the office.
"Director Wen, join us!" someone shouted.
"No need, you all go ahead, I’ll come later." Wen Mei replied lightly, her gaze falling on Meimei, who was still seated, "Yu Xin, you go eat with your colleagues too."
"No, I brought a sandwich, and I ate too much this morning, still feeling full." Meimei waved the sandwich in her hand, smiled at Wen Mei, and then continued sorting her documents.
Wen Mei looked at her, frowning slightly, when suddenly a colleague stepped forward and pulled Meimei up from her seat.
"Food is your strength, don’t skip a meal, just give us colleagues some face and go eat with Li."
"Yeah, come along, you’re always staying at your desk working late as an intern, people might think we’re bullying you," someone chimed in.
