The meal was eaten in silence and the atmosphere was heavy. Everyone saw Jiang Shao’s cold look, but no one dared to ask. No one dared to change the atmosphere! If they were not carefully muzzled, they might get no more end of year bonuses and gifts!

Jiang Shao put down his chopsticks after he ate a few bites. Dr. Shi was dating a girl. He could not sit back and eat any longer. If one’s backyard was on fire, even the saints couldn’t do anything but watch it helplessly.

“Sorry, there’s an emergency in my family. Brothers please eat enough. Next time I’ll personally invite you all for a meal as an apology.” Sure enough, everyone’s excuses were similar. Families and parents were always the best shields.

“It doesn’t matter. We can eat whenever we want. The matter at home is more important. Remember to say hello to President Jiang when you go home.” Everyone took a sigh of relief. If Jiang Shao left, they could relax.

“For sure.”

Jiang Shao strode downstairs, loosened his tie and ran all the way. He hurried back to the restaurant but found that the table in the window was empty. He walked down the street in disappointment. It took only a few minutes to find that the jacket was still in the restaurant and the mobile phone and keys were not taken.

He had to look back.

As soon as he approached the door of the hotel, Jiang Shao froze. He saw Dr. Shi Luo in the street, and he also saw him. Dr. Shi walked up to him. He had something in his hand and looked down along the way, as if he had done something wrong.

Dr. Shi came to him and whispered to him, “Leader.”

Jiang Shao: Yes.

Dr. Shi: You come out for dinner. Why are you outside?

Jiang Shao: How do you know I came to eat here?

Dr. Shi: I just … saw you.

Jiang Shao: You came over after seeing me, what about that little girl?

Dr. Shi began to explain: She lied to me … that girl … we …broke up.

Dr. Shi tried to explain for a long time and concluded: Team leader, had you eaten?

“Ah? This was the end of the explanation. What did he explain? Did he understand it himself? He wanted to eat. Didn’t he see him eating now?”

Jiang Shao: I haven’t eaten yet.

Shi Luo: I’m not full either. I just packed some things, let’s go eat.

It was only then Jiang Shao noticed that Dr. Shi’s bag was from the small restaurant. “Did this guy and the girl parcel food for dinner? Why did he like this kind of person?”

“But I am not hungry.”

“Team leader, I am hungry.”

So, Jiang Shao and Dr. Shi went into a small restaurant and began to eat.
