Psst! We're moving!
The He Group cafeteria always had many employees dining, but He Jingxiu’s appearances were actually not that frequent.
Firstly, his presence usually caused a stir, and secondly, he was busy and rarely ate punctually at twelve o’clock.
Upon seeing Bo Ying’s group and the film crew enter, many people were surprised for a moment, but quickly composed themselves.
Although it was unusual, the He Group cafeteria was undoubtedly the best choice for office workers in the area.
Bo Ying was more familiar with Fang Boyu and introduced him to her new colleagues.
She said, “The chicken legs here are delicious; you can have more. And the pork ribs taste good too.”
Yu Mengjia smiled, “Do you usually eat a lot at the cafeteria?”
“Not really,” Bo Ying said a little embarrassedly, “I used to eat here a lot.”
But now that she was with He Jingxiu, she would occasionally be lured by his gourmet food and frequently run upstairs, so her visits to the cafeteria had become less frequent.
Fang Boyu saw her embarrassed expression and chuckled, “Bo Ying is already tired of the cafeteria food.”
“No, I’m not,” Bo Ying retorted, “It’s just that outside food tastes better.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
As the group was queuing, a commotion arose behind them.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads and heard someone nearby exclaim, “CEO He is here.”
Yu Mengjia immediately linked arms with Bo Ying, asking in a hushed voice, “Which one is he?”
“...” Bo Ying paused, then told the truth, “The handsomest one.”
Yu Mengjia looked up and saw three people approaching: two men and one woman.
Her gaze immediately fixed on the man walking in the middle, dressed in a black shirt and suit pants, with a noble demeanor. He also wore a pair of glasses, making him appear refined and scholarly.
She opened her mouth in surprise, and it took her a while to recover, “He’s really handsome!”
She clutched Bo Ying’s arm, excitedly saying, “His aura is a bit like my idol’s.”
Bo Ying chuckled, “Zhou Yan, right?”
“Yes,” Yu Mengjia took another look at He Jingxiu, then said after a moment of silence, “But my idol is definitely still the most handsome.”
She muttered, “My idol looks absolutely amazing in glasses; he’s just a cultured scoundrel.”
Bo Ying suppressed a laugh and glanced at He Jingxiu.
She nodded, “Well, indeed, CEO He currently doesn’t look like a cultured scoundrel.”
He still had an indescribable quality about him—refined, but without the air of a scoundrel.
Yu Mengjia choked.
She didn’t know how to explain at the moment that “cultured scoundrel” was actually a good adjective.
She couldn’t help but glance at He Jingxiu a few more times, curiously asking, “Is CEO He really that approachable? Does he come to the cafeteria every day?”
“...”
Bo Ying looked at Fang Boyu for help.
Fang Boyu coughed and said with a smile, “Not every day. You’ll only see him if you’re lucky.”
Yu Mengjia nodded, again exclaiming, “With a boss this handsome, can the company’s employees really keep their composure?”
This time, Bo Ying could no longer hold it in and coughed violently several times.
Under the astonished gazes of her new colleagues, she tried hard to suppress her coughing.
After getting their food and finding seats, Bo Ying finally pulled out her constantly vibrating phone and looked at it.
He Jingxiu: [Do you need me to come eat with you?]
He Jingxiu: [Why are you coughing? Lying again?]
He Jingxiu: [What are you eating for lunch?]
...
Bo Ying secretly glanced at the person who was still obediently queuing on the other side, pursed her upturned lips, and brazenly took a photo under the camera and sent it to him.
Bo Ying: [Eating these.]
He Jingxiu: [Okay.]
Just after she sent it, another new colleague curiously asked, “Bo Ying, are you sending photos to your family?”
Bo Ying was startled. Just as she was about to say it was her boyfriend, the male colleague said, “Then I’ll take one too. My mom just asked me how I’m adapting on my first day of work and how the food is.”
Once the topic was opened, other colleagues also said their parents were like that.
When children leave home or start work, parents always have various worries. They worry that you won’t adapt, that you won’t get used to the food, that you’ll be under too much pressure.
As everyone chatted, they inexplicably grew much closer.
The sense of detachment and unfamiliarity from working in the morning suddenly disappeared.
Their group of newly assembled colleagues began to form a deep friendship.
After eating, everyone returned to the office to rest.
The law firm also had regular break times. They were currently just new recruits and had not yet been formally assigned work.
Bo Ying would get sleepy after eating and had to take a nap every afternoon to have energy for work.
She walked around the office twice, then sat at her workstation to prepare for a nap.
Suddenly, He Jingxiu’s call came in.
Bo Ying secretly answered, “Hello.”
He Jingxiu heard her cat-like voice and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Is someone next to you?”
Bo Ying mumbled in response, “Mhm, what’s wrong?”
He Jingxiu: “Want to come up and rest?”
“...No,” Bo Ying whispered, “It’s not very good.”
He Jingxiu thought for a moment; it did seem a bit inappropriate.
He thought again, and said softly, “Then let me know when you wake up.”
This request wasn’t excessive, so Bo Ying readily agreed.
However, Bo Ying didn’t manage to nap.
Fang Boyu asked her a professional question, and after they discussed it for a long time, by the time they reached a conclusion, there were only thirty minutes left before work resumed.
Bo Ying yawned, pulled out her phone, and messaged He Jingxiu, asking if he wanted coffee.
She wanted to go downstairs and buy a cup of coffee.
He Jingxiu: [Wait for me at the staircase.]
Bo Ying: [? You want to go with me?]
He Jingxiu: [I’m at the cafe downstairs.]
Bo Ying paused, then immediately understood.
This person knew her habits and specifically went to the cafe to buy her coffee before she woke up from her nap.
Thinking of this, Bo Ying silently curved her lips and teased him on WeChat: [CEO He is so good to me, I don’t know how to thank you. How about I give you a kiss later?]
He Jingxiu: [?]
Bo Ying: [Don’t want it?]
He Jingxiu: [Wait for me.]
Bo Ying: [...]
________________________________________
In less than ten minutes, Bo Ying ‘accidentally’ met the man at the stairwell.
She looked at He Jingxiu’s empty hands, raised an eyebrow, and asked teasingly, “CEO He, where’s my coffee?”
He Jingxiu: “Assistant Qi will send it to your office later.”
Bo Ying: “Huh?”
She looked up at him, “Then why did I come over?”
He Jingxiu lowered his eyes, leaned in close, his warm breath falling on her ear, his voice deep, “What do you think?”
Bo Ying looked at his deep, sea-like eyes, chuckled, and before He Jingxiu could get angry, she actively hooked her arms around his neck and playfully asked, “Did CEO He come to claim his kiss?”
He Jingxiu didn’t waste any more words and directly claimed his benefit.
He pressed her soft lips, licking and hooking her teeth, gradually deepening the kiss.
Bo Ying stood on her tiptoes, responding to his kiss.
Their breaths entwined, leaving them on the verge of losing control.
After kissing for a while, He Jingxiu finally let her go.
He lightly pecked at the corner of her lips occasionally, his eyes dark, his breathing relatively quick.
Bo Ying couldn’t stand him like this; she always felt that He Jingxiu kissing her like this was even more unbearable than going further.
Her body uncontrollably rubbed against his, drawing in his scent.
“CEO He.”
Bo Ying looked up at him, avoiding his kisses on her lips, and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid your employees will say you’re not doing your job properly?”
He Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, his voice low, “It’s break time now.”
He was still very meticulous when working.
Bo Ying chuckled, “Aren’t you afraid someone will suddenly come?”
“No,” He Jingxiu could guarantee that.
He sucked on Bo Ying’s earlobe, watching her earlobes slowly turn red, and the smile in his eyes deepened, “No one is idle enough to take the stairs.”
Hearing this, Bo Ying chuckled, glanced at him, and poked his shoulder, pressing, “You mean, I’m very idle?”
He Jingxiu: “...”
Sometimes women were just that unreasonable.
He helplessly rubbed her cheek, and said softly, “What I mean is, except for people secretly coming out for a date.”
Bo Ying smiled at him, thinking that this answer barely passed.
She hugged his waist, acting spoiled, “So sleepy.”
“Didn’t take a nap?”
“Mhm,” Bo Ying closed her eyes and yawned, “I was discussing a case with Fang Boyu at noon and lost track of time.”
He Jingxiu understood, and reached out to touch her head.
He knew that Bo Ying would always be fully engaged in her professional field. Although she was someone who couldn’t function without a midday nap, when faced with a task, she could adapt well and then persevere.
“Then sleep in my arms for a while?”
Bo Ying laughed, “Standing up?”
He Jingxiu’s gaze shifted, looking up the stairs, “Sitting is fine too.”
Bo Ying thought for a moment, “I’m wearing light colors today. No.”
As she spoke, He Jingxiu suddenly took off his suit jacket. Before Bo Ying could stop him, he spread the suit jacket on the stairs.
“What are you doing?”
Bo Ying turned to look at him, “CEO He, do you know how much your suit jacket is worth?”
“Hmm?” He Jingxiu looked at her, “Whether it’s valuable depends on its scope of use.”
He teased her, “Using clothes more often, doesn’t that better reflect their value?”
“...”
Bo Ying couldn’t retort.
He Jingxiu led her by the hand, motioning, “Sit down. Lean on me and nap for a bit.”
Since his suit jacket was already laid out, it would be a bit unreasonable for Bo Ying not to sit.
She sat down accordingly, leaning on his shoulder and murmuring, “Don’t do this next time.”
He Jingxiu smiled and agreed, “Okay, you sleep first.”
“Mhm,” Bo Ying reminded him again, “Wake me up five minutes before work starts.”
“I know.”
Actually, sleeping in this position wasn’t very comfortable.
But Bo Ying was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting to stay open. Leaning on He Jingxiu, she drifted off to sleep within two minutes.
...
When Bo Ying groggily returned to the office, she happened to run into Qi Xuezhen.
“Assistant Qi.”
Qi Xuezhen glanced at her and smiled, “CEO He bought coffee for everyone; it’s all on your desks. Everyone’s worked hard.”
Bo Ying was startled. She looked at her workstation and saw coffee and afternoon tea desserts on everyone’s desks.
She was surprised, feeling an indescribable happiness.
“Thank you, Assistant Qi.”
Qi Xuezhen: “You should thank CEO He.”
Bo Ying said primly, “Mhm, thank you, CEO He.”
The others also spontaneously followed suit.
Qi Xuezhen put the things down and left.
As soon as he left, the office became lively.
“Oh my god, CEO He is too good.”
“Bo Ying, Fang Boyu, has your boss always been this good?”
“...”
The two were speechless.
Fang Boyu thought for a moment, then hesitantly gave an answer, “Our boss has always been very good to us.”
A male colleague sighed, “Then if I can’t stay at the law firm, going to work in the He Group’s legal department should be fine, right?”
As soon as he spoke, a lawyer coming out of another office heard him and joked, “What? You’re already thinking of jumping ship to He Group?”
The lawyer had a benevolent look and was usually a playful person. He looked at the interns and said with a smile, “That won’t do. We must keep excellent talents like you in our law firm.”
Everyone chuckled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In the afternoon, Bo Ying and the others began to tackle work.
Several senior lawyers assigned them cases to work on, encouraging them to analyze and think from various client perspectives.
Suddenly, the relaxed group became busy.
Throughout the entire afternoon, Bo Ying drank fewer sips of water to submit her analysis assignment earlier.
By the time work ended, everyone was still busy.
He Jingxiu had sent Bo Ying several messages, but she hadn’t replied.
He thought for a moment and decided to work overtime and wait for her.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Pei Yan’s call.
“Come out for a drink.”
He Jingxiu coldly refused, “No.”
Pei Yan frowned, “Working overtime?”
He Jingxiu: “Waiting for my girlfriend.”
“...”
Pei Yan choked, then said angrily, “Are you the only one with a girlfriend?”
Hearing this, He Jingxiu pulled over a stack of documents, opened them, and slowly read through them, saying unhurriedly, “Not necessarily.”
He paused slightly, then said, “But CEO Pei doesn’t have a girlfriend right now, I know that.”
Pei Yan: “...”
