Chapter 175 Unknowingly, all gone.
The aroma of meat gradually faded from the folding table on the side of greenhouse number one.
Secretary Chen, holding a plastic spoon, scraped the last of the rice from the lunchbox into his mouth and put the lunchbox down.
"Phew...this is so delicious."
Secretary Chen grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth and looked at Su Qingxue sitting opposite him.
The takeout box containing the secret-recipe minced meat rice in front of Su Qingxue was now completely empty.
Even the fried rice in the box next to her was mostly scooped away by Su Qingxue with a spoon.
"Mr. Su...you've finished it all?"
Secretary Chen stared at the two lunch boxes, completely dumbfounded.
Su Qingxue gently placed the plastic spoon in her hand on the table.
Upon hearing Secretary Chen's words, she took out a tissue and wiped her lips.
"Um."
Su Qingxue nodded slightly, "I don't know why, but this minced meat rice isn't greasy at all. Before I knew it, I had finished it all."
She herself found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Wow."
Tangtang, who was sitting to the side with her chin resting on her little hands, then happily swung her short legs and said in a childish voice.
"Pretty auntie! You ate all the meat and rice!"
Tangtang stood up from the small stool, ran to Su Qingxue's side with her short legs, and looked up with her rosy little face and bright eyes.
"My dad once said that when eating, children who finish all their food... no, I mean adults!"
That's the most obedient and well-behaved one!
The little girl shook her head, mimicking Lin Chen's usual tone of voice in a very convincing way.
Su Qingxue saw Tangtang's quirky and clever appearance.
She bent down slightly, looking at the fair-skinned little girl in front of her.
"Auntie finished all her food today, wasn't that good?"
Su Qingxue's eyes were filled with genuine tenderness and a smile. As she spoke, she reached out and gently pinched Tangtang's chubby, smooth little face.
"Super well-behaved!"
Tangtang didn't flinch, letting Su Qingxue pinch her cheeks. "Tangtang loves big kids who finish all their food!"
As she spoke, the little girl puffed out her chest earnestly.
"So, I'm going to give Auntie a little red flower as a reward today!"
"Oh? There are little red flowers too?"
Su Qingxue raised an eyebrow, looking at her with some curiosity.
"Yes!"
Tangtang solemnly put her two little hands together, first drawing a circle in the air in a very convincing way, then poking the middle with her chubby little fingers, pretending that she was really holding an invisible little red flower in her hand.
The next second, the little girl grabbed the "air flower" and slapped it onto the back of Su Qingxue's hand.
"Okay! The little red flower is planted on Auntie's hand!"
Tangtang grinned, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth, and smiled like a little sun.
Su Qingxue looked at the back of her hand, then at Tangtang.
"Okay, Auntie will accept it, thank you Tangtang."
Su Qingxue said softly.
Secretary Chen, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but laugh as he watched this scene.
The usually decisive and awe-inspiring CEO Su probably only reveals this side of himself in front of Tangtang.
Su Qingxue slowly stood up and looked at the No. 1 greenhouse not far away.
It was nearly 6:30 p.m.
The lights from the main stage were even more dazzling, and the long queue in front of Lin Chen's booth had grown so long that it was even starting to obstruct the passage of the main aisle.
"Ding! WeChat payment received, 128 yuan!"
"Ding! Alipay payment received, 227 yuan!"
Inside the greenhouse.
Lin Chen stood in front of the stove, quickly frying rice.
Wang Hai, who was standing to the side, had already rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders and was sweating profusely as he pulled on the takeout bag, maintaining order while packing food for diners.
Su Qingxue watched quietly for a few seconds before looking away.
"President Su, judging from Boss Lin's approach, he'll probably sell out by 8 o'clock today."
Secretary Chen also stood up and spoke.
"Yes, business is good, so we won't bother them any longer."
Su Qingxue responded.
She knew that Lin Chen and Wang Hai were at their busiest right now, and that if she and Secretary Chen continued to sit here, it would only distract them.
"Tangtang, Auntie and Aunt Chen have to go back now."
Su Qingxue lowered her head slightly and patted Tangtang's little head. "Your dad and Uncle Pang are very busy right now. You need to stay here obediently and not run around, okay?"
"Okay!"
Tangtang nodded obediently, let go of Su Qingxue's hand, and ran back to her little stool. She hugged the basket of spoons back to her arms. "Don't worry, pretty auntie, I'm the captain of the spoon-distributing team. I'm going to work now!"
"So capable."
Su Qingxue smiled.
Then, Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen walked side by side to the side of the control panel in greenhouse number one.
While Lin Chen was scooping a pot of fried rice into a box and turning slightly to the side, Su Qingxue stepped forward and stopped a step away from the counter.
"Boss Lin, Wang Hai, we've finished eating and are about to head back."
Su Qingxue spoke to say goodbye.
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Hai, who was busy giving change to a customer, quickly looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and grinned apologetically.
"Oh dear, Mr. Su, Secretary Chen, are you leaving already?"
Wang Hai called out, "I'm so sorry, I've been so busy with the opening ceremony today that I haven't had a chance to properly greet you all!"
"Brother Wang Hai, you're too kind. Today's meal was already quite amazing."
Secretary Chen responded from the side.
Lin Chen calmly put down the iron pot in his hand.
He turned around and his gaze fell on Su Qingxue.
Seeing her relaxed expression and rosy complexion, completely free of the fatigue caused by her long-term stomach pain, Lin Chen's usually tense eyes softened slightly.
Take care.
Lin Chen nodded slightly and spoke.
"Okay, you guys are busy, take care of yourselves, don't overwork yourselves."
Su Qingxue met Lin Chen's gaze and nodded gently.
Without saying anything more, Su Qingxue turned around, with Secretary Chen following closely behind.
Two tall and capable figures quickly blended into the bustling flow of commuters in the main passageway, walking unhurriedly towards the outer edge of the square.
"Boss Lin, we'll be back tomorrow!"
Before leaving, Secretary Chen turned back and said something.
"You're welcome anytime!"
Wang Hai replied.
In front of the operating table of greenhouse No. 1.
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze from Fu Dao.
"Brother Chen! We need three more servings of fried rice and two servings of minced pork rice!"
Wang Hai turned his head, ripped off three packing bags, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"understood."
Lin Chen responded.
He turned on the gas valve of the high-powered stove, and with a "whoosh," flames instantly shot up.
Pick up a bowl of white rice and pour it into the pot.
In front of greenhouse number one.
The payment notification sound from the loudspeaker was ringing incessantly, and the queue continued to stretch outwards.
