Bringing my kids to set up stalls, I made thousands of people cry with envy

Chapter 523 Hmm? How can it not count!
Considering that making rice balls is relatively simple, Su Chen didn't ask Butler Ding and the aunties for help.

While the brown rice was cooking, he washed and blanched the carrots, chopped them into small pieces, and mashed a cooked egg yolk for later use.

After the salmon was steamed, Su Chen took it out and chopped it finely with a spoon.

By this time, the yam was steamed. He mashed the yam into a paste while it was still hot. To make the yam paste smoother, he added a small amount of warm water to adjust it.

Over there, the brown rice was cooked to perfection.

With everything ready, Su Chen poured the mashed yam, cooked brown rice, cooked egg yolk, and chopped carrots into a large bowl. Then he added chopped salmon and diced shrimp, and shaped them into balls.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a slightly dull atmosphere filled the office.

Liu Mengmeng sat at her workstation, her eyes darting around, her mind unsettled.

Since starting her internship, she can no longer do as she pleases as before, and she can't immediately pack her things and rush over whenever she hears news about Boss Su.

Liu Mengmeng originally wanted to ask for leave today to go see Boss Su, but her leave application was ruthlessly rejected by the human resources department.

The HR department gave a cold reply, saying that now you have to apply for personal leave two days in advance, with no room for negotiation.

She could get sick leave approved directly, but after carefully examining herself in the mirror for a long time, she found that her complexion was rosy and radiant, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.

Moreover, even if she took sick leave, she would still have to go to HR to fill out medical records and other forms later. She just wanted to go to Boss Su's office, so how could she possibly get a medical record?
The thought of missing Boss Su's stall today made her completely lose her energy.

"Mengmeng, could you print out some documents for me? I've sent the electronic version to your email."

Song Qing walked over carrying a stack of documents and patted Liu Mengmeng on the shoulder.

"I understand, Sister Qing."

Liu Mengmeng responded weakly.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You seem really tired. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

A look of concern appeared on Song Qing's face.

Liu Mengmeng was an intern personally mentored by Song Qing, who was also Song Qing's direct supervisor.

Since they last enjoyed a meal cooked by Boss Su at Song Qing's house, their relationship has become increasingly close.

Liu Mengmeng looked up at Song Qing's unhurried demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qing, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"In a hurry? What do you mean? Do we have any urgent work to do?"

Song Qing looked puzzled when she heard this.

"No, Sister Qing, haven't you been checking Boss Su's fan club these past two days?" Liu Mengmeng immediately realized.

"I haven't been paying attention to it these past two days."

Song Qing told the truth.

After cooking at her home last week, Liu Mengmeng added her to the group chat.

However, she had far too many group chats on her phone, including work groups, lifestyle groups, interest groups, and so on.

Unless someone specifically mentions her in a group chat, or it's important work-related information, she won't bother to open a group chat to check it.

Upon hearing Liu Mengmeng's words, Song Qing immediately understood what she meant.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly asked, "Has someone in the fan club found Boss Su? Where is he? What time does he set up his stall?"

"Six o'clock in the afternoon, near the entrance of the flower and bird market."

Liu Mengmeng said with a sullen expression, "But we're definitely going to miss it today, HR won't approve any leave."

Unexpectedly, Song Qing suddenly smiled confidently, patted Liu Mengmeng on the shoulder, and said firmly, "Don't worry, you won't miss it. Now is the perfect time to go out. Just come with me!"

"Huh?" Liu Mengmeng looked bewildered. It wasn't until the two walked out of the company building that she snapped out of her daze and stammered, "Sister Qing, we just left like this. How will we clock out? Won't it be considered leaving early or being absent?"

After all, I was just an intern and not very familiar with the company's rules and regulations.

"Remember, we're going to visit a client. I've already told HR, we can just add the attendance record later."

Song Qingyi righteously corrected Liu Mengmeng's statement.

"Oh~"

Liu Mengmeng suddenly realized and blinked.

As an intern, I naturally can't just leave whenever I want; I'm subject to various restrictions everywhere.

But Song Qing was, after all, a long-time employee of the company with rich work experience and a wide network of contacts, so visiting clients was nothing out of the ordinary for her.

If we can go to Boss Su's place with Song Qing every time, under the guise of visiting a client, wouldn't we be able to enjoy Boss Su's delicious food every time?

Thinking of this, Liu Mengmeng's mood immediately improved.

The two talked as they hailed a taxi and headed straight for the flower and bird market.

……

Flower and bird market.

Liu Mengmeng and Song Qing got off the car.

As soon as she entered the market, Liu Mengmeng wanted to call and ask where Liu Taotao was.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Liu Taotao standing at the street corner, constantly being stared at and given strange looks by passersby.

Liu Taotao was seen holding a turtle in his left hand and another in his right hand, with another turtle at his feet.

Liu Taotao stood there with a calm expression on his face, completely unconcerned about the gazes of others.

Given Su Chen's requirement that "pets must be brought along," coupled with the fact that his parents didn't like keeping pets, Liu Taotao tossed and turned in bed last night.

Finally, he came up with what he considered a brilliant solution.

Keep turtles!

Who says turtles can't be considered pets?
This thing was practically created to deal with the current predicament.

Turtles don't take up much space; you can keep them in any water basin. They also have long lifespans, and if you're lucky, they can even live to see three generations of a family pass away.

Liu Mengmeng hesitated for several seconds, looking at the eye-catching older brother at the street corner, and finally mustered up her courage and slowly walked over with Song Qing.

"Are you crazy?! You bought such a huge turtle? And you're even putting it on a leash?"

As soon as Liu Mengmeng walked up to Liu Taotao, she couldn't help but start complaining loudly.

She simply couldn't understand her brother's peculiar thought process; it was more convoluted than a mountain road.

Although her older brother had mentioned wanting to buy a turtle as a pet, she imagined a small, baby turtle.

But these three turtles in front of us are each the size of an adult's palm, so they can hardly be considered baby turtles.

What she found even more unbelievable was that not only was it not packed in a box, but it was also being led by a rope, which was really bizarre.

"I'm just being safe, making sure nothing goes wrong!"

Liu Taotao retorted confidently, "What if we buy those tiny baby turtles and Boss Su doesn't accept them? Besides, everyone else will be bringing their own pets, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to be carrying boxes, would it?"
