no touch

Chapter 8

Near noon, the company staff began to pack up the work tasks in the morning and prepare lunch one after another.Of course, some high-level people who have nothing to do have already left their posts.Seeing the staff in groups of threes and twos taking the elevator to the staff restaurant or going home, Ye Xin had no intention of leaving.Standing in the spacious office, through the curtains, a pair of bright and dark eyes behind the lens stared straight at the woman climbing the stairs in the distance.

She had just received the investigation materials sent by the investigators sent earlier, which showed the background of her intern assistant, Guan Shili.I immigrated to Germany with my parents when I was about three years old, and then went to a university in the United States, a well-known private school.An ordinary family, an inconspicuous background, and relying on one's own efforts to fulfill one's dream was originally a mediocre inspirational story.However, what's interesting is that Guan Shili's parents and relatives couldn't even find any clues about his old residence in China. This kite-like person seems to be a lone traveler who has no one to rely on and fabricated out of thin air.

There was also a photo of Guan Shili buying flowers with foreign friends in the file bag. Although the resolution was not high after washing, she carefully identified this photo. At that time, Guan Shili only had shoulder-length hair, and she was tall and slightly bent. The flowers are carefully selected on the lower waist, and even the sides make people feel that the girl is very warm.What really caught her attention was that the girl in the photo had a pair of ice blue eyes, and the pupils were as calm as a winter lake.

That look always feels familiar.

Ye Xin put her arms around her chest and looked into the distance. When all the people on the upper floors were walking downstairs, only that strange person walked up the stairs from the lounge on the third floor to the 14th floor... There was an elevator but he didn't take it. , I glanced at the overcrowded elevator entrance, and seemed to understand a little bit. Is it because I don’t want to squeeze the elevator with people?

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't care about this new assistant deliberately, he just accidentally saw such a strange move by the other party during lunch time. Coupled with the investigation report that made people feel concerned, he was also bored. Watch the other person climb the stairs in this way.

dong dong dong-

"Mr. Ye, can I come in?" The familiar female voice sounded outside the door.

Ye Xin walked quickly to the table, quickly put the photos and materials into the drawer, sat on the black leather chair, and answered in a high voice: "Come in."

"minister."

This strange new assistant looked at himself with a smile on his face, holding a rectangular paper bag in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Ye Xin's attention was not on the paper bag, but she lowered her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the other person's feet. Walking on foot from the third floor to the fourteenth floor will be uncomfortable, right? Do normal people not care about their feet like this?

Guan Shili walked straight up to the other party, and asked in a low voice, "Minister, haven't you eaten yet?"

Obviously, Ye Xin didn't expect the other party to ask her this question, she was a little puzzled, and answered truthfully, "Not yet." After speaking, she raised her eyes and noticed the other party's unnatural face, and when she looked closely, she could see that there were some thin lines on the other side's temples. Slight beads of sweat, is she waiting for herself to say "work is over, you can go to rest", thinking of Guan Shili's performance in the past two weeks, as a newcomer, he has performed very well, and she was the last one to leave in the department, she has been Staying not far from her, although I am strict and demanding of her, but the other party shows the courage to be alone.

"You can get off work, didn't I say that, if you don't have any special needs in the future, you can get off work with them without waiting for my notice." Ye Xin gave the other party a faint smile while speaking, she Not being strict, she appreciates people who work hard.

Guan Shili looked at the other party with a sudden smile, and looked away a little unnaturally, a faint blush floated on his face, and he only felt his cheeks were hot.

"Assistant Guan, what's the matter with you?" Ye Xin asked with a frown as she saw that the other person's expression was a little strange from just now.

"No." Guan Shili lowered his eyes, as if he was brewing some emotions, and spoke very slowly, "Actually, I brought a meal for two, I think, to have lunch with you, Minister."

"eat lunch?"

Guan Shili nodded, and looked at Ye Xin's slightly suspicious eyes, but he didn't shy away from it, but looked at him with water in his eyes, "I know that you always wait for all the senior managers to finish their meals before you go. It’s because I don’t want to embarrass my subordinates, and second, I don’t want to have physical contact with others, but it’s inevitable that people will touch me, so I need a human-shaped pillar wall, such as today.”

Following Guan Shili's gaze, Ye Xin saw through the window that since today is Friday, many high-level personnel will have dinner in the dedicated restaurant downstairs.Human-shaped pillar wall, I glanced at the woman who was slightly taller than me, and she was not very strong, and pointed to the things in the opponent's hand a little funny, "Those are those?"

"Yeah, luckily it didn't spill out." Guan Shili carefully placed the paper bag on the table, and the lunch boxes inside were neatly lined up intact.

Ye Xin looked at the other side's serious face, seemed to understand why she didn't want to take the elevator, pursed her lips, and said lightly, "It's right here."

"Here?!" Guan Shili was a little surprised, because she had memorized the precautions backwards. She knew that the minister didn't like other people doing anything in her office, and the minister tacitly agreed to have dinner with her? !

"Well, put it on that coffee table."

"Yes."

With a smile on her face, she was flattered to place the beautiful lunch box on the coffee table. Of course, she would rather stay here than the high-level exclusive restaurant, after all, no one would disturb them here.

Ye Xin looked down at Assistant Guan arranging the cute panda's lunch boxes neatly, and felt a little urge to roll her eyes, she really is a little girl.But when the other party opened one by one, the exquisite dishes inside were mouth-watering.

"Minister, you can try this and this." While speaking, Guan Shili pushed all the food boxes towards the person sitting opposite.

She pushed all the food to herself, Ye Xin wanted to laugh a little, she picked up a piece, tasted it slowly, it tasted good.

"How?" He asked tentatively, with a little expectation, Guan Shili picked up the bowl and chopsticks after getting the other party's acquiescence.There was a tacit understanding between them, and they just ate lunch in silence, not feeling embarrassed, but Ye Xin always felt stared at by a stare, and looked up a little suspiciously, but she didn't look at herself, and she didn't know it was the temperature of the air conditioner. The reason for hitting high was still troubled by the fiery gaze, Ye Xin felt a little tight in his chest, but it wasn't uncomfortable.

It's been a long time since I had a meal with others at the same table, and no matter what the purpose of this newcomer assistant invited her, she was really surprised. It wasn't at a high-end restaurant, but she brought her own lunch box. This is also very rare in the company. It is hard to imagine that the boss and his subordinates have dinner alone without the company's annual dinner.

"Minister, do you think these foods suit your taste?"

After a long time, the other party's soft voice came over.

"Huh?" Ye Xin glanced back at the other party. A pair of deep-set melancholy eyes were staring at him, as if they could grasp the soul. This is one of the reasons why Ye Xin couldn't bear to reject the other party.She seldom communicates with people in private, and she doesn't take the initiative to chat. In fact, it is to prevent embarrassment and coldness, so she doesn't know how to respond to other people's hospitality, so she can only say bluntly, "Well, it's not bad, but the cauliflower seems a bit old up."

Guan Shili looked at the person next to him without blinking, and laughed softly when he heard the other party's serious answer, "The minister is unexpectedly frank, and I also think it is a bit old. I thought the minister didn't like food, so I was a little worried."

"Why do you ask that?" Ye Xin gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, frankly saying that today was the most she ate.

"Because I think you eat very little, Minister." Guan Shili tidied up the food box neatly, and at the same time, she poured green tea with pine nuts into the cup, with subtle and skillful techniques.

"Is there..." Her eyes couldn't help but stare at the way the other party was making tea, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party making tea in her office, on the contrary, she thought about her own food intake, "I don't eat much in the first place. "

"The minister will be malnourished like this."

While the other party was talking, he gently pushed the tea leaves with his fingertips, Ye Xin lost his eyes as if looking at a work of art, "Your hands are so beautiful."

"Huh?" The woman who was making tea heard the minister's praise, turned her head to look at the other's hand reflexively, her eyes did not miss the slight embarrassment of the other party's hand behind her back after being stared at by her action.

"Minister..." Guan Shili's eyes trembled, his lips murmured and he didn't continue, "Tea, please."

Ye Xin took the teacup handed to her by the other party, and the strong warmth immediately spread to her palm. The mint and pine nuts in the green tea cup were floating upwards. Malnutrition?She raised her head and looked at the pale-skinned woman in front of her eyes. She clearly said that she was malnourished with a sickly fair face, which was not convincing at all.Ye Xin was not annoyed either, and turned the teacup around, "I always thought you came to the wrong place."

Guan Shili's gaze was always on the other's slender fingers, which were always covered by gloves or long sleeves. Indeed, she had never observed the minister's hand, and her reflexes were a little dull, so she asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"Because you are talented, you have a pair of skillful hands, you can make tea very well, you can write beautifully, and you are also very capable of doing things. You should go to a place where you can develop your strength, not me, let alone," Ye Xin said. He spoke in a earnest tone, as if he had thought of something, so he didn't continue, but took a sip of tea, and the refreshing aroma warmed his whole body.

Guan Shili raised his quiet eyes and looked at her, with a childish sense of grievance in his tone, "If the minister feels that I am not good enough, I will try my best to be perfect."

It seems that the little girl on the opposite side misunderstood what she meant, Ye Xin carefully chose her words, "What I mean is, you should choose your strengths more than mine, financing or the finance department. , I can't give you any help in your career. And I'm also curious why you want to work under me."

"Should I be honored? The minister talked so much to me today." Guan Shili lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, as if talking to himself, "But it's great, can I understand that this is a compliment?"

Although her voice was very low, Ye Xin could hear it clearly. The child in front of her seemed to be sensitive and delicate. Her mood swings were slight, but she could feel it herself.

"If you want to ask the reason, it is..."

Guan Shili looked at Ye Xin with crooked eyebrows.

The way she looks at people is always so straightforward, repeatedly making Ye Xin mistaken for looking at her lover.

"Probably because I want to stay by your side and get to know you better. This is the most authentic reason. So please don't say those words that drive me away. I will be sad, minister."

For this assistant who just came back from studying abroad, Ye Xin was obviously a little confused when she said serious and misleading words. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when she was interrupted by the phone ringing in a hurry.

After Ye Xin finished answering the phone, she wrote something on the sketch paper, then opened the drawer, as if she was back to work.

"Minister, are you going to a meeting?"

Shili got up, and naturally tidied up the coat hanging on the coat rack and handed it to Ye Xin.

"Yes, the cooperation meeting for foreign companies in Carlisle is held temporarily." Ye Xin took the coat and put it on quickly, with no panic on her calm face.

Guan Shili tilted his head in doubt, and his brain quickly thought, "Isn't that the meeting next Wednesday afternoon?"

"Yo, you remember quite clearly, sometimes there is no way to advance the meeting."

"This is what it should be, Minister, everything is going well~" Guan Shili, who seemed shy, returned to his office and handed over the information he had just found to Ye Xin.Although Ye Xin had his own backup, he didn't expect this little assistant to be of much use, but it was a surprise that the other party was able to quickly submit the data five days later intact to him.

With slightly approving eyes, he looked at Assistant Guan who was following behind him. There was a soft smile on the other party's white face, and a white and soft little rabbit appeared in Ye Xin's mind...
