Care from Programmer Friend
Yi Sha Beauty Salon.
Since it was a weekday, there weren't many customers at the beauty salon.
After finishing the treatments for her clients, Zhao Yachian put all the skincare products and equipment back in their places and changed the sheets on the beauty bed.
I sat down on the stool and took out my Mobile Phone to check it.
It's almost 6 o'clock.
Still no news from Tang Song, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and uncertain.
I woke up this morning waiting for his message, but a whole day has passed and I haven't heard anything.
We've already kissed, and I've given you the watch, so why are you still so cold?
Zhao Yachian sighed.
My dear programmer friend! Don't you even bother to show some concern for Beauty Zhao?
She gave you her first kiss, how pitiful!
Suddenly, a colleague tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Qianqian, our boxed lunches have arrived. Could you go downstairs and pick them up?"
"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhao Yachian quickly put away her Mobile Phone and walked out.
The employees' mealtime is from 6 PM to 7 PM every evening.
Beauticians who don't have any work to do can eat normally.
Soon, Zhao Yachian returned carrying a large bag of boxed lunches and placed it in the staff Rest Area.
They were all ordered from the same restaurant; one meat dish and two vegetable dishes cost 14 yuan.
The portions are generous and the taste is good. My colleagues love it, and we usually order it together in groups of ten or so.
She's a newbie, still on probation, so she has to do all the errands.
Take the boxed lunch out and put it away.
Sister Li came over and asked with concern, "Qianqian, how have you been these past few days?"
"It's great, especially on weekdays; it's much easier than before."
"That's good." Sister Li said with a smile, "Hang in there for this period, and once you're officially hired, you can apply for shift work. Day shifts are much easier than night shifts."
She's only been here a short time, and she works the night shift every day.
With someone like Zhao Yachian around, they can stick together and support each other.
"Okay, let's cheer each other on!" Zhao Yachian clenched her fist.
"Tap tap tap" footsteps sounded, and several female colleagues who had finished their work walked in and began to rummage through their own lunch boxes.
"Wow, the Braised Pork looks really good today! It's layered with fat and lean meat, and it looks delicious."
"The Kung Pao Chicken is also good; there's a lot of chicken in it."
"The Mei Cai Kou Rou is so fatty today, what a disappointment. Hey Zhao Yachian, what did you order today?"
Zhao Yachian quickly replied, "Sister Yan, I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Organic Cauliflower, and Mushroom Bok Choy."
Wang Yan's eyes darted around, and she covered her lunchbox again. "I remember you can eat fatty meat, so let's switch. You can have mine."
After saying that, he took the portion in front of her.
Zhao Yachian was stunned, shocked by her shamelessness.
Sister Li, who was next to her, tugged at her arm and gave her a wink.
Zhao Yachian bit her lip and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She had heard from Sister Li that Wang Yan was a relative of the store manager, and it was best not to provoke her.
The female colleagues around them glanced at them but didn't say anything.
Zhao Yachian pouted, feeling wronged, and stood up to take Wang Yan's lunchbox.
In the six months since entering the workforce, she has not had a smooth career and has deeply experienced the hardships of life.
Although I'm very annoyed, there's nothing I can do about it.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone on the table started vibrating wildly.
It was an unfamiliar Mobile Phone number.
The call was connected.
"Hello, is this Ms. Zhao Yachian?" A young female voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, it's me. What's up?"
"Here's the thing, Mr. Tang ordered a delivery meal for you from our restaurant. Which floor are you on now? I'll bring it up to you."
Upon hearing the name "Mr. Tang," Zhao Yachian's heart skipped a beat; she knew it must be Brother Song.
He actually ordered takeout for me! Why didn't he tell me beforehand? Was he trying to surprise me?
Zhao Yachian immediately lit up with a smile, and all her previous grievances and unhappiness vanished.
He exclaimed excitedly, "No need, I'll go down and get it!"
"It's alright, we'll bring it up to you. We often deliver to Yi Sha Beauty Salon, we know the area well. Besides, there's a lot of food, it's hard for you to carry it all by yourself."
Zhao Yachian was stunned, not understanding what those words meant.
It's just a takeout order, how could it be hard to pick up?
She wasn't one to argue, and immediately said, "Okay, thanks. I'm in the staff Rest Area at the far west end of the second floor."
Sister Li glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong Qianqian?"
Zhao Yachian stuck out her tongue and said happily, "A friend ordered takeout for me without telling me beforehand."
"Is he your boyfriend?" A gossipy glint flashed in Sister Li's eyes. "When did you start dating? How come you've never mentioned it before?"
A female colleague next to her asked curiously, "Yaqian, is he your boyfriend? I heard from Weiwei that your boyfriend is a rich and handsome guy who drives BMW, is that true?"
Zhao Yachian blushed and stammered, "Uh, no... that..."
The term "boyfriend" made her heart race.
But they haven't officially defined their relationship yet, so she doesn't know what their status is.
Couple? Potential romantic interest? Best friend?
Wang Yan, who was eating, glanced at her and teased, "If she really had a rich and handsome boyfriend, would she still be working here with us?"
The other colleagues chuckled along, not quite believing it either.
Zhao Yachian pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door of the employee Rest Area.
Two women in dark blue uniforms appeared at the door, carrying two beautiful large boxes. They were upright and Wei Xiao.
"May I ask who Ms. Zhao Yachian is?"
Upon hearing her name called, Zhao Yachian quickly stood up. "Here."
Two women walked over quickly and placed the box they were carrying on the table.
"Please wait a moment, we'll get your meal out for you."
"Oh, oh!" Zhao Yachian nodded, looking at them with surprise, not understanding what kind of takeout Tang Song had ordered, and why the packaging was so big.
Colleagues stopped eating and started talking about it.
"Isn't this takeout from the Private Banquet Mansion?"
"Absolutely, there's even a label on it."
"One of my diamond members often books dinner at this restaurant, costing several hundred yuan per meal."
As a high-end beauty salon, most of its members are wealthy people.
Sometimes, when the nursing care session is long, I will order my own meals.
Private Banquet Mansion is considered the most upscale restaurant in the area, and it's also their favorite.
The outer packaging of the cardboard box was opened, revealing a thick layer of insulating tin foil inside.
Soon, one by one, the exquisite lunch boxes were taken out and placed on the table in front of Zhao Yachian.
I counted them; there were eight in total. They weren't very big, but they were exceptionally beautiful.
"Ms. Zhao, this is today's menu. Please take a look."
Zhao Yachian blinked, took it, and looked at it carefully.
Three-Color Radish Stewed Beef Brisket, Flower Mushroom Braised Abalone, Meat Patty Swimming Crab, Precious Mushroom Clear Chicken Soup, Braised Beef, Cherries...
Before she could react...
Another box was also opened, and inside was a huge, huge Durian Mille-feuille cake, probably 10 inches in size.
"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Tang said that he treated your colleagues to this cake."
Zhao Yachian nodded blankly, her gaze fixed on the things on the table.
"Then we'll be going now. Enjoy your meal."
"OK, thanks."
After watching the two leave, the Rest Area instantly became lively.
A group of colleagues gathered around her, chattering excitedly.
"Yaqian! Did your boyfriend order this for you?"
"Wow, so rich! Private Banquet Mansion's delivery set meal!"
"Qianqian, I just heard it! This Durian Mille-feuille was your boyfriend's treat for us! Hurry up and cut it!"
"I want to eat! I want to eat!"
"The Durian Mille-feuille at the Private Banquet Mansion is said to use a combination of Golden Pillow and Musang King. This 10-inch one probably costs close to two thousand?"
"Qianqian, your boyfriend is so great!"
Amidst the praise, Zhao Yachian felt dizzy and her face flushed.
I picked up the serrated knife and started cutting the cake, distributing it to my colleagues Yi Yi.
The cross-section reveals that it is full of golden durian pulp, and the portion is quite generous.
"Qianqian!"
"Thanks, dear!"
"I have to post this on Moments! This cake is amazing!"
"This is the first time I've ever had such an expensive Durian Mille-feuille!"
After the cake was distributed, her colleagues, who had previously been indifferent to her, instantly became her best friends.
The way people looked at her also became very friendly.
The only one who didn't come over to collect the cake was Wang Yan. After all, she had just mocked him, and it would be a bit embarrassing to stick her arm around him now.
He felt particularly awkward among his colleagues who were eating cake.
Wang Yan pursed her lips, picked up her lunchbox, and left the Rest Area.
Seeing this, Zhao Yachian vaguely understood that Brother Song was trying to maintain good relationships with her colleagues and hoped that her work environment would be more relaxed and pleasant.
Open the lunch boxes in front of you Yi Yi to reveal the exquisite dishes, fruits, and hot soup inside.
A delicious aroma wafted over, and her stomach rumbled.
He swallowed hard, took out his Mobile Phone, snapped a photo, and shared it with Tang Song.
The comment read, "I've received the takeout, and I've shared the cake with my colleagues. Everyone is very happy. Thank you, Brother Song. I'm also very happy; I've never had such a high-class meal before."
She was never one to be sentimental. Since Tang Song had already sent her this surprise, she would happily accept it and treat him well in the future.
I picked up my chopsticks and took a piece of stewed beef brisket. It melted in my mouth, with a rich and deep meaty aroma that lingered on my palate.
I also picked up a piece of abalone; it was smooth and tender with a unique flavor—it was so delicious!
The Cherries are huge, with plump and firm flesh, and they're really sweet!
The 19-year-old beautician was deeply impressed by the luxurious and delicious food she tasted for the first time on this ordinary evening.
It seems that the steak buffet at Wanda that I've been longing for is nothing special anymore.
"Buzzing—"
Tang Song: "Whatever makes you happy, but I'd rather see your photos than your food."
Zhao Yachian smiled and selected a photo from today's album to share from the past.
Tang Song: "You're still so beautiful, and your outfit is great too. But I'd still like to know about your innerwear style, like what kind of stockings or leggings you wear."
Zhao Yachian bit her moist lips and replied, "No lewdness allowed!"
But in my mind, I was thinking, maybe I should take a picture when I change clothes after get off work?
After all, my programmer friend did an amazing job today!
If it's just a base layer, it should be fine, right?
