Chapter 1096: For Takeaway

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Fang’s face turned red. “No… I just went to our second boss’s place, and he… He hasn’t eaten yet. He asked me to pack some food for him. I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

He stammered for a long time before he finished.

Su Qing shook her head and laughed. “Come in quickly! I’ll see what else to eat. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Your second boss is our brother-in-law’s younger brother. We’re all family. There’s no need to be shy.”

Ji Fang felt even more ashamed, thinking that his second boss was not only her brother-in-law’s younger brother but also a man with ill intentions.

“What does your second boss like to eat? Are there any dietary restrictions?” Su Qing realized that she had never met her brother-in-law’s younger brother. However, she had heard that her brother-in-law and his younger brother had a good relationship. It was thanks to his brother-in-law’s younger brother that the house was renovated.

The studio’s hardware accessories were also approved by his brother-in-law’s younger brother. With all this help, making some food was nothing.

“Uh…” Ji Fang wanted to say that as long as it was made by her, their second boss would like it. However, he would never say such words out loud!

“Just make whatever you have,” Ji Fang said as he peeked around. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t see the big boss.

With the big boss around, he always felt immense pressure, as if he would be seen through at any moment and then be destroyed.

“Alright then!”

Su Qing asked Ji Fang to sit down and wait for a while. She sent Su Xiu back to her room to rest, saying she could handle it herself. After entering the kitchen, Su Qing felt it was too embarrassing to use leftovers for her brother-in-law and his brother.

Fortunately, there were still fresh vegetables at home. She thought it wasn’t suitable to eat greasy food at night, so she used enoki mushrooms, vermicelli, braised beef, and shredded jerky to cook a clay pot. Afraid there wouldn’t be enough, she also found dumplings made by Su Xiu in the kitchen, meant for breakfast for their little sister and sixth sister the next morning.

There were two kinds of filling: celery and mushroom.

She cooked fifteen of each type. In total, thirty dumplings were enough for the clay pot.

It was done quickly, and everything was ready in less than half an hour.

While Ji Fang was waiting outside, he smelled the fragrance and wanted to help Su Qing. However, he knew the Deputy Director’s personality very well. If the Deputy Director got jealous, it wouldn’t end well. So Ji Fang gave up on this idea but didn’t want to appear idle. He took the initiative to help Su Qing sweep the floor.

Su Qing hurriedly stopped him.

“No need, just wait.” Su Qing politely declined. “Thanks for your help with the renovation of our shop. Is there anything you want to eat? Shall I make you something?”

“No need.” Ji Fang immediately waved his hand and cleverly credited the Deputy Director. “The renovation wasn’t my doing. It’s mainly our second boss. The manufacturers give a face to our second boss. Otherwise, I couldn’t do it alone. The second boss has a high status in the industry. Many people want to do business with him with just a word.”

Su Qing had already guessed this and wasn’t surprised at all.

She didn’t even raise her eyebrows.

Ji Fang thought this reaction was not right!

Why was she indifferent?

Shouldn’t she be praising the Deputy Director’s abilities?

“By the way, you sometimes call my brother-in-law’s younger brother the Deputy Director, and sometimes the second boss. What’s going on?” Su Qing asked curiously.

“I’m an employee of the provincial design institute. The Deputy Director was transferred from the capital to our design institute to be the Deputy Director. I was lucky enough to be assigned as his secretary. Later, the Deputy Director helped the big boss and became the second boss. I also followed him as a secretary in Changhe.”
