Chapter 287: Sheng Jianan Acts Shamelessly (7)
Compared to Tang Yanqi’s cold words and demeanor, Young Master Sheng was in an exceptionally good mood.
He first drove her to K University, then returned to Shengshi himself. He had been away for a few days, and there was some work piling up to be done.
As soon as he arrived at Shengshi, Sheng Jianan buried himself in the meeting room. Besides the regular meetings, he also had to deal with some issues left over from before.
Nearing noon, Qiao Zi brought in lunch. Sheng Jianan took a couple of bites and put down his chopsticks. Qiao Zi was tidying up the previous documents beside him. Seeing Sheng Jianan’s expression, she couldn’t help but ask, "President, is the lunch not to your liking?"
Sheng Jianan glanced at her, then at the exquisite lunch box in front of him.
In terms of color, aroma, and taste, it was top-notch. Having been by his side, Qiao Zi always ordered his favorites.
But why did it just not taste good now?
His lunch, even just a lunch box, was insanely expensive, but Sheng Jianan honestly felt it couldn’t compare to the eight dollar spicy hot pot they had last night or the eggs and bread Tang Yanqi made for him this morning.
"Pack it up, and also pack two more servings for me. I need to go out for a bit."
"Okay."
Qiao Zi didn’t ask much, she always knew her limits and just did her job well.
Sheng Jianan carried the packed lunch boxes out of Shengshi and drove to the hospital. He hadn’t visited Mr. Sheng since he returned, and since it was free time at noon, he intended to have lunch with the old man.
However, when Sheng Jianan reached the door of the hospital room, he didn’t see the person inside. After asking around, he found out that Mr. Sheng had already had lunch, and the care worker had taken him outside to get some sun.
With the lunch boxes in hand, Sheng Jianan had a sudden thought and turned towards another building.
Last night, he and Tang Yanqi had brought the mother and son who sold spicy hot pot to the hospital. The boy’s condition was more severe than they had thought.
Sheng Jianan had arranged the best private room for them. When he reached the hospital room and opened the door, he saw the mother and son inside chewing on buns, with a large bowl containing some vegetables, which looked boiled.
The lady boss saw Sheng Jianan come in and quickly stood up, "Mr. Sheng, you’re here."
Sheng Jianan nodded and walked over to put the lunch boxes down, "Just passing by, brought you some lunch."
The lady boss was clearly very restrained and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, we’ve already eaten."
"He needs nutrition."
These words made the lady boss blush. After speaking, Sheng Jianan realized his words were a bit blunt. Young Master Sheng, who never cared about others’ feelings, suddenly felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat, "I’m also here to discuss something with you."
"You...you go ahead."
"I will arrange a shop for you, and from now on, you can sell your goods there instead of setting up a stall on the street."
The lady boss listened, her eyes widening. For people like them who make a living, this was like a pie falling from the sky. But although poor, the lady boss maintained her dignity.
Startled for a while, she quickly spoke up, "Mr. Sheng, you’ve already helped us a lot. We can’t accept this, I..."
Sheng Jianan wasn’t very patient with her pleasantries, waving his hand, "I’m not doing it for you. My wife mentioned that you once treated her to a meal. Having been kind to my wife is being kind to me. This is what you deserve. Besides, I’m just helping you with the investment up front. Whether you can run it or not afterwards is up to you."
The lady boss was evidently still a bit uneasy, but Sheng Jianan didn’t care much about her hesitation. After saying what he came to say, he got up and left.
