Big Boss didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he replied with a faint “Hmm?” and asked, “Is there something?”
“Actually, it’s nothing…” Xu Weilai took a light breath. After she completely calmed down, her tone of voice also became natural, “It’s just that you’ve always taken care of me and helped me many times. I know that you rarely show up, but if it’s possible, can I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?”
She had always been thinking about the favor she owed Big Boss, and she thought that if there was the chance in the future, she would definitely treat him to a meal. So, at this moment, she had to mention it no matter what.
After hearing what she said, the person on the other side of the phone fell silent.
Xu Weilai waited for more than ten seconds and quickly said, “Of course, if it’s not convenient for you to meet, then I… then I’ll thank you on the phone. In the future, I’ll run more news and do my best to repay you.”
“Not really.” Big Boss seemed to consider it for a while, and in the end, his heart softened. “Since you want to treat me to a meal, I naturally have to give you this opportunity.”
Xu Weilai couldn’t help but smile. “Then what do you want to eat? Do you have any favorite restaurants? You don’t have to be polite with me.”
Big Boss rhought for a moment and said, “Do you know how to cook?”
Eh… could it be that he wanted her to cook?
Xu Weilai answered truthfully, “I do… I only know how to cook some very simple home-cooked dishes…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Big Boss interrupted her, “That’s enough. Let’s meet at your apartment tomorrow night.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Weilai still couldn’t react in time.
What was wrong with these big shots now? None of them liked to eat the delicacies in restaurants outside, but liked simple home-cooked dishes instead?
For example, Big Boss, for example, Zuo Si..
However, she still had to thank Big Boss. Since Big Boss made such a request, she would definitely do her best to fulfill it.
Xu Weilai ate the warm porridge and laid down for another day. When she woke up the next day, her sickness was gone. The soreness in her body had dissipated and she was in good spirits. Her strength had also returned.
That night, Big Boss would come over for dinner. After cleaning up the apartment in the morning, Xu Weilai made a simple lunch for herself. After eating, she wrote a press release for a while. Upon seeing that it was almost time, she drove to the supermarket again.
This time, it wasn’t like Zuo Si’s forced freeloading, so Xu Weilai picked the best ingredients and carried a big bag back to the apartment. She planned to put in immense effort in cooking the dishes to ensure Big Boss ate to his heart’s content.
Xu Weilai spent almost three hours making a table full of dishes. When she brought out the soup, the doorbell rang. She quickly put it down and subconsciously wiped her apron. Then, she rushed to the door.
She stood behind the door and slightly raised her hand to tidy her hair. Then, with a smile on her face, she slowly opened the door.
Usually, she communicated with Big Boss via email and talked to him on the phone. Xu Weilai could confirm that Big Boss was a very refined and calm man.
He always gave off a mature and composed vibe, so she imagined that he would be slightly older, possibly a successful middle-aged man in his mid-thirties.
However, she saw that the man standing at the door was tall, slender, and wearing a well-tailored suit. He gave off a sophisticated aura, and there was a warm expression on his face. However… his face was unexpectedly young.
