Chapter 911 An Employee Who Doesn't Want a Secret Relationship (6)
After obtaining Shen Congjing's contact information, Mu Zhou has not yet contacted him.
This time, she made a special trip to Shen Congjing's office floor, gave the things she brought to Shen Congjing's assistant, and then left.
She stood in front of the elevator, head down, carefully considering and editing the text.
I kept cutting and revising, but I was never satisfied.
He would sometimes frown, sometimes sigh, and finally even turn on the AI to help him edit.
Just as I was engrossed in my work, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of me.
She looked up blankly and realized that the person she was supposed to send the message to was already standing in front of her.
Mu Zhou's eyes widened instantly.
Like a guilty thief, she instinctively hid her phone behind her back, but accidentally touched it and sent the message directly to him.
As Shen Congjing's phone beeped, Mu Zhou's heart jumped.
Like a student caught cheating by the teacher, she silently swallowed.
Under her gaze, Shen Congjing slowly took out his phone.
[Ms. Shen, thank you for having the driver take me home that day. I happened to be at your company today and brought you coffee and some creamy pumpkin and mushroom soup that I made myself. I gave it to your assistant; you can try it when you have time, it's very delicious.]
After glancing at the message she sent, Shen Congjing commented:
"The content that AI gave you is indeed quite good."
"No, no, I just used AI to polish it a bit; it's all my own genuine feelings."
Mu Zhou couldn't possibly believe it was all AI rhetoric, so he quickly distanced himself and immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, Teacher Shen, you haven't tried my creamy pumpkin and mushroom soup yet, have you? It's still hot, and the taste is absolutely amazing. It's my secret recipe."
Shen Congjing looked up at her, his gaze somewhat unreadable.
"Are you always this dedicated to your partners?"
Mu Zhou was taken aback and subconsciously denied it:
"of course not."
Meeting Shen Congjing's gaze, she paused for a moment, her words a mix of playfulness and sincerity:
"Actually, I admire Teacher Shen a lot. After the first game was released, I felt that you would definitely achieve great things, and it turned out to be true."
Mu Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly, looking a little smug and confident in his own judgment.
"I was so excited to learn that I would have the opportunity to work with you."
At this point, Mu Zhou smiled shyly:
"When I got your contact information, I really wanted to send you a message every day if I hadn't forced myself to restrain myself."
"So, I took this message to heart the first time I sent it to you. I was afraid of leaving a bad impression, so I couldn't resist having AI help polish it up."
Shen Congjing stared at her big, blinking eyes, as if trying to determine whether her words were true or false.
His strongest impression of the girl in front of him was her hypocritical yet genuine personality.
It has both subtle motives and an undeniable sincerity.
They are also extremely concerned about saving face.
Shen Congjing recalled that time in the parking lot.
Her first thought after falling wasn't to check her injuries, but to see if anyone had seen her.
This time, he caught me using AI, and I don't know if this explanation was a quick wit or if it was genuine.
However, as the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Her efforts to please him, whether genuine or feigned, did not evoke any ill will.
Shen Congjing's lips curled slightly:
"Adding contact information is for communication purposes; there's no need to be so particular about the wording."
Does this mean... she can talk nonsense with him?
Mu Zhou's eyes lit up, shimmering with a radiant glow.
"Really? Then please don't find me too annoying, Teacher Shen."
Having received the assurance, Mu Zhou left happily.
After she left, Shen Congjing returned to his office and saw the things she had brought from his assistant.
Seeing him walk straight towards him, the assistant immediately said:
"Mr. Shen, I was just about to deal with these things..."
"give it to me."
The assistant was slightly taken aback, unusually not reacting at first.
After meeting Shen Congjing's cool gaze, she suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly handed over the cutely packaged bento box.
Even after Shen Congjing carried it back to his office and closed the door, he still couldn't quite believe it.
what is it today?
For a moment, he remembered the girl who had brought him the lunchbox.
Manager Mu of the Qin Group.
The assistant secretly made a note of it.
In the office, Shen Congjing calmly unwrapped a lunchbox covered in a small floral cotton cloth with a lucky cat design.
There was a cup of freshly ground coffee inside, and he opened it and took a sip.
The taste was the kind he was used to drinking.
It seems she did indeed do some research on herself, and it wasn't just flattery.
Shen Congjing put the coffee aside and opened the lunchbox. The golden creamy pumpkin and mushroom soup immediately simmered and released a fragrant aroma.
Actually, he has never been interested in meals prepared by others; he always lets his assistant handle them.
That's why the assistant didn't react for a moment when he came over.
Shen Congjing did not think there was anything special about his actions.
He just happened to be a little hungry at that moment.
That's it.
He picked up the spoon and took a bite.
The pumpkin flavor is strong, rich and intense, with a touch of natural pumpkin sweetness.
Combined with the flavor of the cream of mushroom soup itself, this soup becomes even more delicious.
Shen Congjing showed no particular expression on his face, but calmly finished the whole bowl.
Then I noticed the special features of the spoon.
There's a frosted print on the handle with a cartoon character on it.
She was a little girl with big eyes and pigtails.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the cartoon girl looked a lot like Mu Zhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
He was also bewitched.
On the other side, Mu Zhou felt exceptionally good as he listened to the favorability rating slowly increasing by 1%.
She tossed her phone to the girl across the desk:
"Everyone has been working well lately. What would you like to drink? It's on me."
She said to her team members.
"Yay, Manager Mu is the best! I want three times the amount of cream."
"Don't go to sleep tonight, it's almost four o'clock. I want to bake crème brûlée matcha ice cream."
"Then I don't want the triple-thick layer, I want the Mango Dew, which is super succulent."
Everyone chattered about which milk tea they wanted to drink, and Mu Zhou let them have their way.
She got up and went to the tea room. On her way back, she ran into Qin Zhi in the corridor.
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
After saying hello, she prepared to leave without any hesitation.
The two had already broken up and hadn't been in contact for a long time. Apart from being superior and subordinate, they shouldn't have had any other relationship.
But unexpectedly, as they passed each other, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"what are you doing……"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhou was pulled into an empty conference room.
With a "click," the door was locked from the inside.
Mu Zhou broke free of the wrist and took two steps back:
"Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Qin Zhi gazed at her quietly for a moment, then leaned back against the conference table, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Let's stop the Cold War, okay?"
"..."
Mu Zhou raised an eyebrow speechlessly:
"Are you mistaken? We broke up, and it's been almost half a month since then."
