I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini-Chapter 15
Not His Expertise
Assistant Yuan returned to the president’s office with a head full of question marks.
Knock knock.
“Enter.”
After hearing the response, Assistant Yuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
“What’s the matter?” Shen Yanqing looked up at him.
What a rare guest.
It was lunch break now. Usually, Assistant Yuan would go downstairs to play games with his colleagues at this time. He was typically nowhere to be seen.
Assistant Yuan smiled and walked over to hand over the bag with both hands.
“What is this?” Shen Yanqing was stunned. “I don’t think it’s my birthday today.”
“It’s not from me.”
Assistant Yuan pointed at the pink bow on the bag. “Miss Nan Ge sent it to the front desk ten minutes ago.”
It was Shen Yanqing’s turn to be confused.
Assistant Yuan told him everything that the receptionist had just said. After he finished, he could not help but ask, “President Shen, out of my personal curiosity, I also want to ask, did you quarrel with Miss Nan Ge?”
“…”
That was a good question.
Did they just quarrel?
Shen Yanqing began to doubt himself.
He recalled carefully and almost filtered their entire conversation in his mind.
In the end, he came to a conclusion. “We didn’t quarrel.”
“Are you sure?” Assistant Yuan expressed his doubts.
After all, President Shen had never been in a relationship before. Perhaps he did not understand how girls thought or spoke.
“Yes, I’m sure.” Shen Yanqing nodded.
“President Shen, sometimes girls like to be sarcastic. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
Indeed, this was not within Shen Yanqing’s area of expertise. He could feel a headache coming on. He raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows and carefully thought about it again.
“I don’t think so. Things between us were very calm and peaceful.”
After he changed the topic, Nan Ge obediently went to eat. During the meal, Nan Ge even told him that the pasta in her lunch was delicious and suggested that he order it tomorrow.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
When she left, she waved happily at him and said that she would see him tomorrow. She certainly did not seem angry.
“I feel regardless of our perspectives, there was no argument or misunderstanding earlier.”
Then, Shen Yanqing looked at the paper bag in front of him and decided to contact Nan Ge.
“Let me ask.”
“President Shen, why don’t you open it and take a look?” Assistant Yuan suggested.
“No.” Shen Yanqing felt that it was best not to touch it before he figured out the meaning of this gift.
After contacting her, he would decide whether to open it or not.
He opened WeChat.
He clicked on Nan Ge’s profile picture and typed: [I just received your gift. I heard that there was some misunderstanding between us. I want to know if I offended you just now.]
Nan Ge was still driving on the road, so she only saw the text message after some time.
It was inconvenient for her to type while driving, so she simply pressed the audio button.
In the office, Shen Yanqing looked at his phone from time to time.
Upon hearing the notification, Assistant Yuan was even more excited than him. “She replied! She replied!”
Shen Yanqing glanced at him, and the smile on Assistant Yuan’s face froze. He stepped back silently and shut up.
Shen Yanqing opened the voice message and turned up the volume. [I’m driving, so I can only send you an audio message.]
[No, no. There was no misunderstanding. I deliberately said that to the receptionist. I mainly wanted her to help pass you the gift.]
[Please accept the gift. It was not particularly expensive anyway. It’s mainly because you gave too many tips, so I don’t feel comfortable taking them.]
[I know you’re only comforting me like that because you want to return me $500.]
[You can treat this gift as my compensation for causing your alcohol allergies to act up, okay? I know you won’t accept my money, but there’s nothing wrong with accepting a gift, right?]
[I just didn’t know what you liked. Of course, I can’t give you anything expensive for the time being. I hope you don’t mind.]
[To tell you the truth, I’m working part-time now because I want to change my car. Money is sort of tight, but it’s not that bad. This was just a small gift.]
[When I’ve saved enough money to buy a new car in a month, I’ll definitely bring you on a ride first! After all, you contributed a lot to me getting a new car.]
[When the time comes, I’ll take you to the riverside. I’m sure it’ll feel awesome in a convertible!]
“…”
Nan Ge sent over a dozen voice messages intermittently, and Shen Yanqing listened to each one carefully twice.
Thinking that she was still riding her scooter, he stopped typing and sent a voice message just like her: [Alright then. I’ll accept the gift first. Stop texting and be careful. Send me a message when you get back to the dormitory.]
Nan Ge replied with an okay emoji.
...
That was the end of the conversation. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝔀𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘vℯl. 𝑐o𝚖
Shen Yanqing put down his phone and went to open the gift.
After untying the bow, a scarf with the brand’s logo stamped on it could be found in the bag.
It was not Shen Yanqing’s favorite style, but since it was a gift from Nan Ge, he folded it carefully and put it back in the bag.
“The authentic product for this is quite expensive,” Assistant Yuan muttered softly from beside Shen Yanqing.
“It costs about $3,000.”
Shen Yanqing also felt that considering Nan Ge’s current financial situation, it probably was not authentic. However, he did not care about this. “It’s the thought that counts. I don’t care what she gives me.”
“What’s more, she’s just a student. She might not know the difference between an authentic product and an imitation. She probably doesn’t even know the exact price. However, it doesn’t matter.”
Assistant Yuan nodded in agreement. After a pause, he recalled what Nan Ge had said earlier and remarked curiously, “This means Miss Nan Ge isn’t working part-time because she needs the money. She simply did it to get a new vehicle, right?”
Shen Yanqing did not think that there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he looked at Nan Ge in a new light.
“She fights for what she wants. That’s good.”
...
“Then again, how much money can she save from a month’s delivery?”
What kind of vehicle could she possibly get?
Assistant Yuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself, “I think she probably wants to buy a small electric scooter or something since she’s a student, right?”
He seemed to have heard the word “convertible” earlier, but the electric scooter technically did not have a roof either.
Correction. Not only was it roofless, but there was also wind leaking from all directions.
“Probably.”
Shen Yanqing did not think too much about it.
He folded the bag and put it gently in the drawer, intending to take it home that night.
For the following week, Nan Ge revised hard.
Her older brother was unexpectedly nice for once. He gave her paid leave and told her not to deliver food first. She could continue after her exams.
Of course, Nan Ge would not reject something that could earn her money without doing anything.
Nan Ge wanted to tell Shen Yanqing, but she was so busy that day that she forgot about it.
The next day, the manager ordered her colleague to send the food to the president’s office in Huasheng Group.
At noon that day, she received text messages from Shen Yanqing the moment her colleague arrived at the company.
