Chapter 1068: Treatment
"Since I decided to do it, I want to do it well." Li Xiaoyun felt quite embarrassed.
"I only drank a little, couldn’t bear to drink more," Zhao Dingli said. "We’ll have it together when you come over at noon."
Luckily, the thermal container was quite large, and the fact that Li Xiaoyun could make good soup was already impressive; she couldn’t quite control the exact amount for just one person.
So, the soup in Zhao Dingli’s thermal container was more than enough for the two of them.
Zhao Dingli now couldn’t wait for noon to come so he could quickly meet Li Xiaoyun.
What Zhao Dingli didn’t know was that Li Xiaoyun was also thinking the same thing.
Even though they had just parted ways in the morning, she couldn’t wait for noon to arrive.
Every time she thought of Zhao Dingli, she felt energized, even her work was more enthusiastic.
No wonder there’s a saying that when men and women pair up, work doesn’t tire you out.
Although Zhao Dingli wasn’t beside her, Li Xiaoyun, the moment she thought of Zhao Dingli’s face, didn’t feel tired at all.
At noon, everyone began heading out.
Li Xiaoyun had informed Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun in advance that she was going to see Zhao Dingli at noon.
Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun both said, "If that’s not dating, what is?"
Although the three weren’t having lunch together, they could leave the company together.
Just as the three stepped out of the elevator, Li Xiaoyun received a call from an unknown number.
The phone screen showed just a string of numbers.
Li Xiaoyun’s first thought was that it was a telemarketing call.
Personal information leakage nowadays is really severe.
Li Xiaoyun almost receives various advertising calls every day.
Anything from shop investments to children’s English, all kinds of categories.
"Hello." Li Xiaoyun answered the phone.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t an ad: "Hello Miss Li, I am Liu Minghao, the driver of our CEO. I am waiting for you at the company entrance."
"Your CEO... Zhao Dingli?" Li Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes, yes." The person hurriedly replied.
While speaking, Li Xiaoyun had already exited the company.
She happened to see at the front of the company gate, a young man enthusiastically waving to her.
Out of cautiousness, combined with the uncertain situation of Zheng Xuelin, Li Xiaoyun wanted to confirm with Zhao Dingli if this driver was really sent by him.
In the morning, Zhao Dingli did mention sending his driver to pick her up.
But now seeing the car behind Liu Minghao that belonged to Zhao Dingli, which she’s become so familiar with, having sat in it every day recently, not only did she recognize it as the same model, but even the license plate was identical, it wouldn’t be fake, so she dismissed her doubts.
"CEO..." Liu Minghao swallowed the words "Madam" in time and said, "Miss Li."
Liu Minghao promptly corrected himself, smiling warmly with a row of white teeth that almost sparkled under the sunlight.
Li Xiaoyun and the others were caught off guard by the brightness.
"The CEO asked me to pick you up," Liu Minghao said enthusiastically. "The CEO is in a meeting, and if he came to fetch you afterwards, it’d be a bit late. Didn’t want you waiting, and you’d be hungry if time got late, so he sent me to come ahead."
Li Xiaoyun felt embarrassed by Liu Minghao’s words and awkwardly said goodbye to Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun before getting into the car.
After Li Xiaoyun left, as Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun headed to the restaurant, they chatted, "Xiao Yun enjoys the treatment of a CEO’s wife now."
Zhou Yunyun took a rare detailed observation: "I always felt earlier that when Liu Minghao said ’CEO,’ he wanted to say CEO’s wife."
Lin Lingli nodded in agreement: "Yunyun, I notice you’ve become quite observant lately!"
"..." Zhou Yunyun said helplessly, "I can’t remain oblivious forever. Like you said, if I continue like this, I’d miss things when people imply stuff in front of me and get mocked behind my back, how uncomfortable would that be."
The two companies were quite nearby, so Li Xiaoyun arrived at Changlin quickly.
After getting off, Liu Minghao didn’t leave immediately but led Li Xiaoyun through Changlin’s entrance.
Changlin’s employees naturally knew Liu Minghao was Zhao Dingli’s driver.
Seeing him wasn’t unusual.
The woman accompanying him didn’t strike them as odd either.
They assumed she was a friend of Liu Minghao.
Although people had gossiped about Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun, they hadn’t actually seen Li Xiaoyun.
So now, even as Li Xiaoyun appeared, no one recognized her.
After all, she’s not a celebrity you can frequently see and identify at a glance when faced with the real person.
Li Xiaoyun hadn’t shown her photo, and even if she had, they wouldn’t deeply imprint it to recognize her.
Yet Liu Minghao wished dearly for a bronze gong, to announce to everyone.
Though he didn’t have a gong in hand, he had a mouth with which he could speak.
Liu Minghao immediately said loudly, "Miss Li, this way, I’ll take you upstairs. Our CEO specially reminded me multiple times. Since it’s your first visit, and you’re unfamiliar with the place, he insisted I take you to his office door."
Liu Minghao emphasized ’Miss Li’ and ’CEO’ in his loud voice.
The employees around instantly grasped the key points.
There wasn’t a discussion immediately.
However, when Liu Minghao took Li Xiaoyun into the elevator.
They began to converse.
"Miss Li? The legendary Li Xiaoyun?"
"Here to see the CEO?"
"From what Liu Minghao said, she’s someone the CEO specifically told him to pick up."
"We’ll know more when we ask Liu Minghao later. Given his reaction, he’d like to announce it grandly. Once asked, he’d surely spill everything."
"Given Liu Minghao’s response, it’s likely the CEO instructed him. Without the CEO’s orders, Liu Minghao wouldn’t dare be so ostentatious."
Everyone thoroughly knows Zhao Dingli’s personality.
Their understanding of why Zhao Dingli was eager for everyone to know about Li Xiaoyun was quite clear.
Throughout the way, Liu Minghao frequently said "Miss Li."
No matter what he said, he always prefixed it with "Miss Li," just in case others couldn’t guess she was Li Xiaoyun.
He even found a chance to ask, "Miss Li, how long is the lunch break usually for RuiShi?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the elevator quickly caught on.
Connecting RuiShi with Miss Li.
How could they not know the person before them was Li Xiaoyun?
The elevator was limited in space, everyone stood rather close.
At this point, they couldn’t help but look at Li Xiaoyun.
Though the gaze was a bit obvious, it was hard to resist.
Just wanting to see what this legendary Li Xiaoyun looked like.
Li Xiaoyun felt terribly awkward in the elevator, wishing Liu Minghao would stop talking.
But she didn’t have the nerve to speak up.
