Li Na’s eyes also lit up. The bag of pastries that Lan Yue opened happened to be her favorite. “Oh my god, this osmanthus cake has never been allowed to be taken out! Oh my god, can I have a piece first?”
“Of course!” Lan Yue directly unpacked it and stuffed the osmanthus cake into Li Na’s hands. “Since it was bought by our boss, it belongs to us. Eat as much as you want.”
Lan Yue and Wen Chao, with their carefree personalities, didn’t notice anything amiss and happily opened the takeout.
But Wang Wei’s eyes flickered. He always felt that Lan Yue and Song Fan were too close, but he didn’t say anything. He just silently marveled at Song Fan’s generosity, thinking that she truly lived up to being Miss Song, always generous.
Several people had already started eating when Song Fan, holding a cafeteria lunch box, arrived a bit late. The moment she pushed open the door, she saw everyone enjoying the food. Li Na even warmly greeted her, “Miss Song, come quickly. This roast duck won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
Although Song Fan loved good food, her years in the mercenary life had made her accustomed to a simple lifestyle as long as she wasn’t starving. She had just gone to the cafeteria to order a few dishes, but she didn’t expect these people to start eating without her.
Looking at the takeout packaging from Lanhai Hotel, she looked at Lan Yue in shock. “Miss Lan, did you spend your monthly salary to treat everyone to lunch?”
“Huh?” Lan Yue, while biting into a duck’s neck, looked at Song Fan in shock. “Boss, haven’t you paid yet? Are you treating us, or are we going to split the bills?”
Wen Chao quickly put down his chopsticks. With only a two-thousand-yuan monthly salary during his internship, he couldn’t afford such an expensive lunch.
“Didn’t you order it?” Li Na, however, didn’t put down the pastries in her hand. “We can’t casually order takeout from Lanhai Hotel. If it’s not Miss Song, who else could make them deliver?”
Wang Wei, more pragmatic, didn’t care whether they were going Dutch or not. He couldn’t waste any bite of the delicious food.
Just as the group was puzzled, there was a knock on the door behind them. Gu Chen stood outside the meeting room, smiling and holding an exquisite Lanhai Hotel takeout bag. Song Fan instantly understood what was going on.
She quickly ran to open the door. “This is too extravagant. We just need something simple to eat. We’re busy with work today.”
She was too engrossed in the cooperative work and had momentarily forgotten to inform Gu Chen about it. Song Fan didn’t know why, but she felt a bit guilty when looking at him.
“Yeah, you’re indeed very busy.” Gu Chen placed the takeout bag on the table. “Drinking so late at the bar yesterday and coming to work early this morning, it’s indeed hard work. Try this chocolate cake; it’s especially sweet.”
Although he spoke with a smile, for some reason, Song Fan felt her back shiver. The others were tactful enough to pick up the food quickly and leave the meeting room.
As Li Na left, she cast a glance at the chocolate cake. Feeling the awkward atmosphere, she quickly closed the meeting room door.
The room fell silent, leaving only two people. Gu Chen was still smiling as he looked at Song Fan, who, feeling a bit uneasy, could only cough a few times to cover the awkwardness.
“Did you drink too much yesterday and catch a cold?” Gu Chen asked, still smiling.
Song Fan didn’t know how to deal with the situation. In the end, she could only change the subject. “Charlie told me about the collaboration, and he mentioned Snow Red Flower.”
Gu Chen hadn’t expected that the two were discussing this matter yesterday. A flicker of surprise flashed across his face, and he signaled for Song Fan to continue.
Song Fan then explained the whole story to him. Since he was also involved, he should be informed.
“And this kind of poison is not easy to concoct, so I might need to use the equipment in your villa,” Song Fan said somewhat uneasily.
In fact, she had thought about this matter early on. This high-end poison required her full attention and specialized equipment. Doing experiments at Gu Chen’s villa was the best choice. However, with everything that happened yesterday, she truly forgot to discuss it with Gu Chen.
But after hearing her words, Gu Chen remained silent for a while. He just
stared at Song Fan fixedly. She thought he might be a bit unhappy, so she hurriedly explained, “You can rest assured; I won’t let Jason die. But if you want me to detoxify you, I need the poison sample and Snow Red Flower, so the collaboration with Charlie…”
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chen suddenly stood up and directly hugged her.. His lips were close to her ear as he asked, “So, you agreed to collaborate with him because of me, right?”
