Just as Su Jinyi looked over, He Ruiting seemed to have felt her gaze, he turned and their gazes met. Time seemed to have frozen for a few seconds. Su Jinyi was somewhat guilty of burying her head into her bowl of rice, without saying a word.
"Why would Boss He suddenly come to the company's dining hall today?"
"Yeah, he's never been here before."
"Am I the only one who cares who he was looking at?"
Everyone was discussing about He Ruiting's visit to the company's dining hall.
As everyone was enthusiastically discussing, only Su Jinyi was no longer in a meditative state, and was silently pondering about why he had come here.
And at this moment, amidst everyone's discussion, our President He calmly brought assistant Zhou Xin to a window, took up a plate, and casually took a seat before sitting down. It was as if he came here often to eat, and it didn't seem like it was his first time here at all.
She didn't know if it was because Su Jinyi was overthinking things, but why did she feel that He Ruiting's line of sight was floating in her direction? She secretly took out her phone to send him a message.
"Why did you suddenly come here?"
Very quickly, Su Jinyi received a reply: It's lunch time right now, is it strange coming here?
Su Jinyi couldn't help but want to retort, this fellow was doing it on purpose. She put away her cell phone and stopped answering him.
"Who do you think the Boss He is sending a message to?" A girl sitting at the same table as Su Jinyi asked curiously when she saw that He Ruiting seemed to be sending a message.
"Not with his lover?" one of them guessed.
As Su Jinyi listened to their conversation, her fingers trembled, and her chopsticks almost fell to the ground. Luckily, she reacted quickly and managed to grab hold of them in time.
"Tell me, what exactly do you think of a woman that the Boss He has set his eyes on?" At this time, another girl spoke up.
"I really don't know about that." One of the male colleagues said with a smile, "But it's definitely not what you look like."
"Hahahaha!"
His words drew a round of laughter from the crowd. The woman angrily punched him, and then the two of them started to make a ruckus. The atmosphere on the table once again became lively.
"He Jinyi, why aren't you saying anything?" Someone noticed that He Jinyi had not been in high spirits for a long time, and asked.
"No, I want to finish eating quickly and go back to look at the information." Su Jinyi revealed a slight smile and said.
"Ah, another person who gave his life for his work." Colleagues could not help but sigh at Su Jinyi's seriousness.
In the afternoon, Su Jinyi was busy digesting that pile of information, so when it was time to get off work, she didn't notice it at all. It was only when her cell phone suddenly recalled that she took it out from the data and looked around to see that everyone had already left work. She picked up her cell phone and answered without even looking at the caller ID.
"Where?" The phone call was from He Ruiting. It had already been over half an hour since he got off work, so He Ruiting, who never got off work on time, finally called today. He waited for her at the last intersection for a long time, but before he called.
"I'm at the company." Su Jinyi was confused by her question.
"If I remember correctly, the company should be off duty at 6 o'clock." He Ruiting said, "Mrs. He, do you know what time it is?"
"I've been reading for the whole afternoon and didn't notice the time." Su Jinyi looked at the time, it was almost 7 o'clock.
"I was waiting for you at the last intersection. Come here." He Ruiting facepalmed, should he be happy or sad that she was working so hard?
After hanging up the phone, Su Jinyi quickly packed up and left. When she reached the intersection, she saw He Ruiting's car at first glance, so she opened the door and sat inside.
"Where do you want to go tonight?" Seeing that she had arrived, He Ruiting was not in a hurry to drive, but asked her this question.
"Won't you go back and eat?" Su Jinyi was even holding onto a piece of information, which she had to take back to look at overtime.
"It's time to get off work. I'll check the information when it's time to go to work tomorrow." He Ruiting frowned when he saw the folder in her hands. He was a little unhappy and immediately took the documents out of her arms and threw it to the back of the car.
"Hey, I still have to watch it tonight!" Su Jinyi stretched out her hand to stop it, but did not succeed.
He Ruiting did not care about her, and immediately started the car from the back: "Fasten your seat belt."
"Where to?" Su Jinyi could only give up and obediently buckle up.
"Tonight, Duan Yunxuan will treat." He Ruiting said.
"Then why did you ask me where I was going to eat just now?" Su Jinyi asked suspiciously.
"If you want to go anywhere, let him change his position."
"Do you really think he knows that you tricked him?" Su Jinyi could not hold back and laughed, silently feeling sorry for Duan Yunxuan for two seconds.
The restaurant Duan Yunxuan booked was in the center of the city, a gathering place for the rich.
When they arrived, Duan Yunxuan and the others were already there. Seeing them push open the door and enter, Duan Yunxuan started to complain: "Big bro, every time you really make it to the stage, can't you come earlier?"
"I want to see your face less." He Ruiting ridiculed Su Jinyi as he pulled a chair for him.
"AHH!" My heart suddenly hurts." Duan Yunxuan held onto his chest, with an extremely exaggerated look.
"Even if you die from the pain, the Brother Ting will not care about you." Wang Da chuckled on the side.
"He won't even look at it." Guo Wei also laughed by the side.
"How heartless of you." Duan Yunxuan's face drooped, he grunted, and turned the tables.
Seeing them making a ruckus like this, Su Jinyi felt that they were really fu y. This time, their meeting was no longer as awkward as before, and was a lot more relaxed.
"Oh right, sister-in-law, is the injury on your foot better? Are you alright? " Wang Qi asked concernedly as he remembered the time she mentioned the matter of him being injured.
"Yes, it's completely fine now." Su Jinyi replied with a smile.
Ever since Wang Qi had called her last time, the two of them had chatted when they were free, and their relationship had grown closer than before.
"That's good."
This meal was much easier than the previous one. At least, he was no longer as reserved as last time, and from time to time he would even be able to chat with them. On the contrary, He Ruiting silently sat at the side as he prepared food for Su Jinyi.
"Hey, sister-in-law, has Brother Ting been treating you better recently?" Duan Yunxuan sat beside Su Jinyi, and when he saw that He Ruiting was focused on cooking for her, he went over to Su Jinyi's ear and whispered into her ear.
"Ah?" "What do you mean?" Su Jinyi did not understand the meaning behind his words. She looked at him in a daze, her head a little muddled.
