Chapter 121 Eating (a bowl) of noodles

Han Qi was carrying a small bag, which, according to her, contained a change of clothes and a water bottle.

Seeing her looking around with the same confusion, Zhuo Tong knew that she, like herself, thought she had gone to the wrong place.

After all, she left earlier than him yesterday and didn't know about Chen Shou's situation, so she would only be more confused.

It was at this moment that she saw Zhuo Tong walking out of the gym:

"Dude!"

Han Qi excitedly raised his arms and waved, greeting Zhuo Tong.

"What a coincidence! We just parted ways this morning, and now we've run into each other again."

"Doesn't this show that we two brothers are destined to meet? Otherwise, why don't we bump into other people every day?"

"Yes. Is your lower back and leg pain any better? You're able to work out so quickly?"

Zhuo Tong clearly remembered that Han Qi looked somewhat unsteady on his feet this morning.

Besides, you've just had a hangover, so you should rest more and avoid strenuous exercise immediately.

"It's nothing. I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation Department of the school hospital and had a female doctor massage me. I'm completely fine now!"

Seemingly wanting to prove that his body was truly free of problems, Han Qi twisted his waist left and right and did a few simple high knee raises.

"See? I told you I was alright, didn't I?"

"Impressive." Zhuo Tong gave a thumbs up.
"Being young is great; your body recovers quickly."

"What are you talking about? Dude, you're young too, and your physique is much better than mine."

After she finished speaking, she sighed, a hint of regret on her face.
"It's a pity I'm late today, otherwise I would have asked you to be my workout partner and give me some pointers."

"Now is fine too, I have plenty of time."

"No need, I know you're busy, you can manage on your own!"

Han Qi pursed his lips, his expression resolute as he encouraged himself:

"I won't take up any more of your time, bye~"

"Bye-Bye."

Zhuo Tong watched Han Qi walk into the gym and felt somewhat helpless.

I have a lot of free time, but why does everyone say they are a very busy person?
I can't tell at all. Do I look like her? Probably not. After all, so much work is done by Qi Shuangxue, and I'm so bored that I don't know what to do every day.

"Never mind, I'm a little hungry. Let's call Qi Shuangxue and have a simple meal together."

Zhuo Tong assumed that Han Qi was really alright, and since she didn't remember what happened last night, she didn't think much of it.

He just didn't see Han Qi's embarrassment in the locker room, his cheeks slightly flushed, one hand on the wall and the other on his back.

She had intended to show off in front of Zhuo Tong, but unexpectedly, she twisted her waist again, which had just begun to recover.

Although she really wanted to straighten up, the slightest movement caused a tingling sensation that she would never forget.

Han Qi felt an increasing fear of the techniques Zhuo Tong had used the previous night:

"No, I absolutely can't lose to my senior again, or I'll really be ruined if it happens again."

……

Zhuo Tong and Qi Shuangxue randomly found a small noodle shop, had a simple lunch, and chatted briefly about business while waiting for their food.
"Boss, while you were working out, I conducted a thorough investigation of Hongxing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd."

"It's just that my abilities are limited, and the information I obtained is almost identical to the information provided by Sister Wang."

Qi Shuangxue placed her hands on her thighs, her face filled with deep apology. In her view, this was originally a good opportunity to complete extra work and improve her boss's impression of her.

"Don't overthink it, these things are completely unimportant."

Although Hung Hsing Electronics Technology is not small in scale, several financial indicators on its financial statements look quite good, especially its debt-to-equity ratio.

However, Zhuo Tong, who has an accounting background, could tell at a glance that many of the company's assets were fixed assets with extremely poor liquidity, high specificity, and difficulty in being converted into cash.

For example, there are specially customized assembly lines and production and processing equipment.

To be honest, Hung Hsing Electronics Technology currently has very limited cash flow at its disposal, and it also faces the ongoing problem of paying workers' wages.

Even though the system had changed from settling the current month's salary at the end of this month to settling the previous month's salary at the end of the following month, it has now changed again to pay the first month's salary two months later.

However, the large scale comes at the cost of requiring a large number of workers, which naturally leads to higher employee salaries.

This is the drawback of choosing to hire workers instead of increasing automation in order to save costs.

Therefore, from the moment he first saw the materials prepared by Wang Ying, he did not take Hongxing Electronics Technology seriously.

To say it was for revenge wouldn't be accurate; Zhuo Tong had deeper considerations.

"Eat your food first. I will do my job without hesitation when it comes to the tasks that need to be completed."

"Good boss."

Qi Shuangxue nodded and picked up the noodles from the bowl with her chopsticks.

This is a Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant called Yongji Ma, so the dishes have a strong northern flavor.

Although the price is a bit higher than similar noodle shops, it has the advantage of generous portions and the ability to keep adding noodles.

Therefore, Zhuo Tong used to eat a meal when he was occasionally hungry, as it was more cost-effective.

For now, let's just treat it as experiencing life.

After all, they've only been living a wealthy life for a short time. They can't possibly eat delicacies like shark fin and abalone every day. Otherwise, what's the difference between them and nouveau riche?

Besides, it's not just about the food, it's about the companionship.

With such a beautiful female assistant by my side, even instant noodles would taste delicious, right?

But Qi Shuangxue, who was always frugal, had never eaten a bowl of beef noodles that cost thirty yuan. She usually ate Shaxian noodles, which was enough for her.

However, since the boss was treating her to dinner, she ordered a set meal and added a few skewers of lamb.

A layer of red oil floats on the surface of the fragrant noodle soup, and the lamb skewers are dotted with red chili powder.

Qi Shuangxue was clearly a little tipsy; her deep red lips were constantly exhaling, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her cheeks.

It has to be said that it smells really good. Although I look a bit disheveled, you don't care about your appearance when you're eating delicious food.

The weather was already hot, and on top of that, she ate such spicy food, and she felt like she was on fire.

To dissipate heat, he could only unbutton the top three buttons of his shirt, revealing just a corner of his Mariana Trench.

When you tilt your head back to drink, the water droplets on the surface of the iced cola can run down your chin, neck, and collarbone, eventually flowing into the trench.

Zhuo Tong nodded repeatedly as he watched this scene, inwardly applauding its beauty.

But she was also increasingly curious: had her boyfriend saved the world in his past life?
So, with their questions in mind, the two of them didn't drive off immediately after lunch, but instead rested in the car for a while.

It was at this moment that Zhuo Tong asked the question that had always been on his mind:
"Assistant Qi, what kind of person is your boyfriend?"
