Chapter 332 - 296: Match_2
Cen Jin picked up and flipped through the materials inside, and the people mentioned were indeed somewhat famous or graduates from prestigious schools, which gave both Cen Jin and Ye Lingran quite a bit of pressure after reading them."I feel like this competition is going to be a tough battle!" Ye Lingran decided not to continue reading halfway through, sighed lightly, and turned to look at Cen Jin.
Cen Jin heavily closed the folder and nodded: "But since we’ve decided, let’s not back down, we’ll see it through to wherever it leads us."
"You’re right." Ye Lingran smiled lightly and looked at Yun Xi: "Then I guess we came here for nothing today."
"What do you mean for nothing! Can’t you just come and chat with me?" Yun Xi said unhappily when she heard this, pouted, and glared at Ye Lingran: "You’ve already come, and it’s almost twelve o’clock now, why not join me for lunch later!"
"Sure, we’ll join you for lunch."
"Where to eat?"
"Have you not eaten at our Yun Group’s cafeteria? Want me to take you there for a taste? Trust me, it won’t disappoint you!" Yun Xi said, raising a finger and throwing a flirtatious wink at the two of them.
Cen Jin and Ye Lingran exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows, and didn’t dismiss the idea. To be honest, since graduating from school, they hadn’t had many opportunities to eat cafeteria food; they mostly ordered takeout or ate out.
Other than the one time they ate at Yun Group’s factory cafeteria, they seemed to have no other memories.
The group chatted a while longer, then Yun Xi grabbed her phone and headed out of the office with Cen Jin and Ye Lingran, giving instructions to Assistant Jiang on the way, and they laughed and talked as they walked toward the double automatic doors of the design department.
Just then, Yun Qi’s secretary came over from outside, and Yun Xi called out: "Shao Min, where are you going?"
"Director Yun, Miss Ye, Miss Nie." Shao Min quickly nodded to them when she saw the three and answered Yun Xi’s question: "President Yun asked me to get some materials from the planning department, are the three of you going for lunch?"
"Yes, haha, I’m taking them to experience our executive dining room." Yun Xi said with a smile, patting Shao Min’s shoulder: "Hang in there, it’s almost time to clock out."
"Yes, then Miss Ye and Miss Nie should really try our company’s food! It definitely won’t be worse than outside!" Shao Min tilted her head with a smile as she watched them leave, then hugged the folder in her arms and returned to the president’s office. When she entered Yun Qi’s office, she saw Yun Qi crossing his legs, holding a pen in his right hand, with a folder on his legs, his eyes slightly closed as if in thought.
"President Yun, I brought back the materials you requested."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qi looked up at her and responded softly: "Hmm, just put it there! Prepare all the materials needed for the 3 PM company visit."
"Alright, then President Yun, where are you planning to have lunch, outside or the cafeteria?" Shao Min asked earnestly, checking her watch and realizing it was only thirteen minutes to twelve o’clock, curiously asked, and added a comment upon recalling Yun Xi and the others had gone to the cafeteria: "I just saw Director Yun taking Miss Ye and Miss Nie to dine in the cafeteria when I returned."
"Miss Ye and Miss Nie?" Yun Qi paused his work, raising his eyes to look at her.
Seeing Yun Qi’s serious gaze, Shao Min couldn’t help swallowing nervously and nodded: "Yes... yes, they just... just left."
Yun Qi withdrew his gaze, closed the folder on his legs, and after a brief silence, said: "No need to worry about my lunch plans, once it’s time, you can leave."
"Alright, if you have nothing else, I’ll head out." Shao Min nodded slightly to him and turned to leave the office with a smile.
Yun Qi sat on the couch, remained still for about half a minute, then picked up the phone on the coffee table, looking at the gentle avatar in WeChat. After hesitating for a few seconds, he got up and walked to the standing rack, grabbed his coat, left the office, and went to the elevator, directly pressing the cafeteria’s floor.
At this time, there weren’t many people in the cafeteria because it wasn’t yet time to clock out. However, the executive dining room differed from the regular employee cafeteria, and since there were only a few minutes left until clock-out, some higher-ups were eating there; they typically left ten minutes early without concern, and Yun Qi seldom visited such places, so there weren’t many restrictions.
