Bringing a baby to a street stall: The anorexic female CEO is brought to tears by her cravings at th

Chapter 148 Tangtang's Heartwarming Comfort

Five o'clock in the afternoon, by the flower bed outside Yintai Plaza.

In the early summer twilight, a gentle breeze dissipated some of the daytime heat.

Lin Chen stood in front of the stove.

In just a short while, several servings of fried rice were ready.

"Alright! The first batch is ready!"

Wang Hai fastened the takeout box, bagged it, and handed it to the customer at the front of the line, saying, "Hold on tight!"

At the very front of the line stood three familiar faces.

It was Liu Wei, Zhao Qiang, and Li Na.

However, all three of them looked rather pale today, with a clear sense of fatigue in their eyes, a stark contrast to their usual energetic and lively sedentary sedentary lifestyle at mealtimes.

"Oh, Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, Sister Na."

Why the long face today?

As Wang Hai packed their food, he chuckled and joked, "It's only Tuesday, why do you all seem so drained?"

Liu Wei sighed helplessly and rubbed his slightly sore temples.

"Don't mention Brother Wang Hai."

Liu Wei's tone was full of vicissitudes, "I just received a notice this afternoon that our department's project needs to be revised at the last minute, and the whole team has to stay and work overtime tonight."

So, taking advantage of this brief dinner break, I quickly ran downstairs to buy some fried rice to tide me over.

"That's right, those wicked clients, they just do whatever they want."

Zhao Qiang chimed in with a complaint, "Just thinking about having to stay up in front of the computer until 11 or 12 tonight gives me a throbbing headache."

If it weren't for the thought of having some fried rice from Boss Lin to fill my stomach, I would have smashed my keyboard in the office just now.

Li Na also looked utterly hopeless, and she turned to look at Lin Chen, who was busy at work.

"Boss Lin, three servings of fried rice."

After we finish eating, we have to rush back to our workstations and work like oxen and horses.

Li Na said with a sigh.

"Coming soon."

Lin Chen didn't say much, but quickened his pace and pushed the three servings of fried rice onto the table.

"Here, all three of you, please!"

Wang Hai handed over the three plastic bags, saying, "Working overtime is fine, but your health comes first."

"Have a hot meal, then hurry back and deal with the client."

"Thanks, bro."

Liu Wei took the bag.

Tangtang, who was sitting on a small stool next to them, immediately took out three disposable plastic spoons from a small plastic basket, stood up, and handed them to the three people with both hands.

"Uncle and Auntie, here's a spoon for you!"

Seeing how tired they looked, Tangtang blinked her big eyes and added, "Uncle and Auntie, please eat well and don't overwork yourselves!"

Hearing the little girl's innocent words of concern, the fatigue on Liu Wei and the other two's faces instantly dissipated.

"Thank you, Tangtang! I'll listen to you, Tangtang, and I'll definitely eat well."

Li Na smiled as she took the spoon, gently patted Tangtang's little head, and her frustration dissipated considerably.

"Our Tangtang is so sensible."

"Alright, let's not linger here any longer, time is of the essence."

Liu Wei waved to Lin Chen and Wang Hai, "Boss Lin, Wang Hai, let's leave first!"

Let's relax and enjoy a delicious braised pork rice meal this Friday at the food festival!

"Yes, see you on Friday!"

Zhao Qiang also waved.

"Take care, see you Friday!"

Wang Hai smiled and saw the guest off.

Liu Wei and his two companions, carrying fried rice, turned and quickly crossed the square, returning to the company to continue their overtime work for the evening.

……

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the high-end office building in Yintai Plaza, is the office of the president of the Su Group.

The blinds inside were half-open, and the light of the setting sun shone on the large desk.

Su Qingxue closed the last business plan that needed to be signed and casually put her pen aside.

She leaned back in her leather office chair and gently rubbed her stiff neck.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the office door, and Secretary Chen pushed it open and walked in.

"President Su, all the reports from each department have been compiled today."

Secretary Chen placed a folder on the corner of the table and then glanced at the time.

It's almost 5:30 now.

"Mr. Su, you didn't eat much at noon. Would you like me to go downstairs now and get you a serving of fried rice from Mr. Lin's stall?"

Secretary Chen asked considerately.

Su Qingxue glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen; it was 5:15.

"Any other plans for tonight?"

Su Qingxue asked in a calm tone.

"That's all. The legal department and project team are following up on the remaining details. Your schedule is free tonight."

Secretary Chen answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this answer, Su Qingxue's shoulders, which had been tense all day, relaxed slightly.

"Then we won't pack it up."

Su Qingxue stood up and tidied up the documents on her desk. "I've been cooped up in the office all day, I'm going downstairs for some fresh air."

Let's go down and line up together.

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Secretary Chen nodded, picked up his phone, and followed behind Su Qingxue.

……

5:30 p.m.

The crowd in the square gradually thickened, and people leaving get off work in the surrounding office buildings gathered around the flower bed.

The queue in front of Lin Chen's stall steadily grew, maintaining a size of about twenty people.

Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen walked out of the office building side by side and headed straight for the flower bed.

When they reached the stall, they didn't disturb Lin Chen and Wang Hai who were preparing food. Instead, they walked to the very end of the line, stopped, and joined the queue.

The square was a bit noisy in the evening, but Su Qingxue felt very relaxed.

She looked at the stalls not far away, inhaling the aroma of scallion oil wafting through the air.

Secretary Chen stood quietly to the side, not engaging in small talk, giving the boss ample space to relax.

The two moved slowly forward with the group.

In front of the stall.

Lin Chen stared at the heat in the pot, vigorously tossing the iron ladle in his hand.

The process of taking it out of the pot and packing it into boxes was completed in one smooth motion.

"Two servings of fried rice are ready, hold on tight!"

Wang Hai handed the takeout box to the customer in front of him, then turned and called out to the queue, "Next one, how many portions?"

Tangtang, sitting on a small stool on the side of the table, was dutifully fulfilling her duty of distributing spoons.

She took two plastic spoons from the small basket and handed them to the customer who had just received the fried rice.

"Brother, here's a spoon!"

After the spoons were handed out, Tangtang looked up, glanced past the queue, and looked towards the back of the line.

Upon seeing this, the little girl's big eyes lit up instantly.

She immediately spotted Su Qingxue at the back of the line, and Secretary Chen standing next to her.

Tangtang immediately dropped the spoons she had just grabbed and stood up from the small plastic stool.

"Pretty auntie! Auntie Chen!"

Tangtang raised her rosy cheeks, stretched her chubby little hands above her head, and shouted happily towards the end of the line.
