The Duke's little ancestor slipped away again

The second floor.

Office of the Director of Design.

knock knock knock

"Enter."

"Ok?"

This voice sounded familiar to Luo You.

"Hello, I'm Luo You... Zi Ting from the design department? It's really you!"

"Luoluo, long time no see."

The newly appointed director of the design department is Xia Ziting, Luo You’s mountaineering friend when he was in Milan.

"Why did you come to our company?"

Luo You was surprised and surprised.

"The head office dispatched personnel and arranged for me to come here. I didn't expect to meet you here. We are really destined."

Xia Ziting's sunny smile miraculously healed Luo You's haze during this period.

"I thought your job was in Milan."

"It's because I completed a big project before, so I took a vacation and went to Milan to stay for a while. After the vacation, I came back to work."

"We will all be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me, Director Xia."

Luo You stretched out her hand, Xia Ziting smiled, raised her hand and gently held her fingertips.

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me. When did you come back?"

"This morning, my cousin's nephew went to join in the fun at the 100-day banquet."

"You go to work as soon as you get off the plane. You are really dedicated."

Xia Ziting poured a glass of water for her, motioned for her to sit down and said.

"I can't help it. Who told me to aim high? If I don't work hard now, I will have to live on the street when I get old."

Luo You held the warm water glass and smiled to himself.

"Do you have time at noon? Let's have a meal together."

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Xia Ziting changed the topic directly.

"In the evening, I want to use my time at noon to catch up on my sleep."

"Okay, let's make it tonight. It's my first time in Heisei. Do you have any recommendations for delicious food?"

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"good."

"Then let's have a pepper and sesame feast. The hot pot ingredients there are the freshest and most authentic."

I haven’t eaten for a long time, and I feel really greedy when I think about it.

"Then I'll make a reservation and we'll go there together after work in the evening."

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I still have some work to do. You just came here. If you need any help, you can call me."

Luo You stood up and prepared to leave.

"Lolo, you can come here to rest at noon. There is a rest room inside. I rented a house nearby and I won't be here at noon."

Xia Ziting handed her the key to the office.

"...Okay, then I'm welcome."

Except in front of Keen, Luo You has always been very good to himself.

"Luo You...it's so nice to see you again..."

Xia Ziting rubbed her fingers, and the warmth of her palm seemed to still remain on them.

Clocked in at 1:40, Xia Ziting showed up on time at 1:30. When he returned to the office, he saw that the door to the lounge was ajar. He knew that Luo You must still be asleep, so he didn't bother him and took out a bag from the cabinet. I took out some drawing paper and drew on it.

Luo You, who woke up naturally from his sleep, stretched out comfortably and made a sound of satisfaction.

"Oops!"

On her phone, the time showed two thirty-five, and she was almost an hour late.

"I said hello to you and asked you to help me do some errands and come back later."

At the door of the lounge, wearing a white T-shirt with a light pink shirt, white jeans with black and white sneakers, Xia Ziting, who had changed into casual clothes, leaned sideways there, looking like a person who stepped out of a comic.

People who play design have good aesthetics. How to show their strengths and avoid their shortcomings has long been deeply engraved in their bones.

"Huh~ I was scared to death, thank you."

"You're welcome what?"

"I'm lazy under the nose of my boss. I'm probably the only one who's lucky enough not to be scolded."

"A good mental state can reduce the error rate at work."

"Lend your auspicious words."

Luo You made the bed and looked at other places. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, he closed the door.

"Thank you for the bed. To thank you for your generosity, I'll treat you to this meal tonight instead."

"In order not to embarrass you, I reluctantly agree."

It's just a meal, just invite me back later.

As November enters, the nights in Heisei gradually turn cooler, and more and more people eat hot pot.

When Luo You and Xia Ziting arrived, the pepper and sesame feast was already overcrowded.

"It's so popular, it seems your recommendation is right."

"Of course, just wait for me."

Luo You ran towards the bar.

"Hello ma'am, how can I help you?"

"I forgot to reserve a table before coming..."

"Okay, let me help you see if there are any suitable seats available now. How many of you are there?"

"Two."

"Okay, wait a moment... Madam, the private room is full, and there is still a seat in the lobby, but I have to wait a moment, do you think that's okay?"

There is a table of customers who have already purchased their orders, which should be sorted out soon.

"Luo You? Why are you here alone? Are you here to eat?"

As soon as Shen Ye entered the door, he saw Luo You standing in front of the bar.

"Cousin."

"Jin Qian and the others are in the private room upstairs. If you don't mind, come over with your friends."

"No, there's already a seat over there. We'll just wait for a while. My friend just came to Heisei, and I promised to treat him to dinner."

Following Luo You's line of sight, Shen Ye saw Xia Ziting waiting patiently at the door.

Seeing their eyes looking towards him, Xia Ziting smiled and walked over.

"Hello, I am Xia Ziting, my friend Luo You."

"Hello, I am Shen Ye, Luo You's cousin-in-law."

"Since we are with friends, I won't disturb you. Let's eat together next time we have a chance."

Shen Ye could tell that Luo You really didn't want to eat with them, so he didn't force it. Keen was on top, and the relationship between the two of them was awkward now.

"Okay, cousin."

"Ma'am, your seat is vacant, please come with me."

"OK, thanks."

Although it is in the lobby, the people who come here to eat are all quality people, and no one will make a lot of noise.

"Sorry, I was just sleeping and forgot to reserve a seat in advance."

Luo You looked apologetically at Xia Ziting opposite.

"It doesn't matter. It's hot pot. There's an atmosphere when you eat it. If we were really in a private room, we would probably be bored too."

Afraid that he couldn't eat spicy food, Luo You chose a mandarin duck pot, ordered some food according to his own preferences, and handed the menu to the other side.

"I can do anything, and I have no taboos."

Xia Ziting pushed the menu back again.

"Okay, then I'll keep an eye on it."

The ingredients arrived quickly, and the two of them chatted happily over the bubbling pot.

"Didn't you mention it? Why did you come up?"

Mu Jinqian, who was going out to pick up his wife, met Shen Ye at the top of the stairs.

"Guess who I saw at the door?"

"I know?"

"Well, we all know each other."

"Lawyer Shen, you are finally here. Jin Qian won't let us use our chopsticks until you come."

"Guess who I met downstairs?"

"Who?"

"Luo You."
