Chapter 101: Care from a Programmer Friend

Yisha Beauty Salon.

Because it was a workday, there were not many guests in the beauty salon.

After Zhao Yaqian finished the care for the scheduled guests, she put all skincare products and instruments back in place and changed the beauty bed with new sheets.

Sitting on the stool, she took out her phone and looked.

It was almost 6 o'clock.

She still hadn't received a message from Tang Song, and she couldn't help but start feeling anxious.

She had been waiting for his message since she got up this morning, but a day had passed, and there was nothing.

They had clearly kissed, and she had given him a watch, so why was he still so cold?

Zhao Yaqian sighed.

Programmer friend! Don't you even know how to take the initiative to care about Beauty Zhao?

She had given him her first kiss, how pitiful!

Her shoulder was suddenly patted, and a colleague said: "Qianqian, the boxed lunch we ordered has arrived, go downstairs and pick it up."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Yaqian hurriedly put away her phone and walked out quickly.

Every evening from 18:00 to 19:00 was the employees' meal time.

Beauticians who had no work tasks could eat normally.

Soon, Zhao Yaqian carried a large bag of boxed lunches back and put them in the employee lounge.

They were all ordered from the same shop, one meat and two vegetables for 14 yuan.

The portion was not small, and the taste was good, which was deeply loved by colleagues, and ten or so people ordered together every time.

She was a newcomer, a small shrimp in the probation period, so she had to do the running errands.

She took out the boxed lunches and put them away.

Sister Li walked over and asked with concern: "Qianqian, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

"Pretty good, especially on workdays, it's much easier than before."

"That's good." Sister Li smiled and said: "Stick through this period, and after you become a regular employee, you can apply for shift rotation. The day shift is much easier than the night shift."

She had also come not long ago and was on the night shift every day.

With a familiar person like Zhao Yaqian, they could also huddle together for warmth.

"Mm-hmm, let's work hard together!" Zhao Yaqian waved her fist hard.

"Tap tap tap" footsteps sounded, and several female colleagues who had finished their work walked in, looking for their own boxed lunches on their own.

"Wow, today’s braised pork is really good! Three layers of fat and lean, it looks delicious."

"Kung Pao Chicken is also good, there is a lot of chicken."

"Why is today’s preserved mustard pork so fat? Stepped on a mine. Eh, Zhao Yaqian, what did you order today?"

Zhao Yaqian hurriedly replied: "Sister Yan, I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, organic cauliflower, and shiitake mushrooms with rapeseed."

Wang Yan’s eyes rolled, and she covered her boxed lunch again: "I remember you can eat fat meat, just right for us to swap, you eat this one of mine."

After speaking, she took the one in front of her directly.

Zhao Yaqian was stunned, shocked by her shamelessness.

Sister Li next to her pulled her arm and gave her a wink.

Zhao Yaqian bit her lip and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

She had heard from Sister Li before that this Wang Yan was a relative of the store manager and it was best not to provoke her.

The surrounding female colleagues looked at them and didn't say anything.

Zhao Yaqian pouted aggrievedly, stood up, and took Wang Yan’s boxed lunch over.

In the half year since entering society, she hadn't gone smoothly in the workplace and had deeply realized the difficulty of life.

Although she was very unhappy, there was nothing she could do.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone on the table vibrated wildly.

It was an unfamiliar phone number.

She answered the phone.

"Hello, hello, is this Ms. Zhao Yaqian?" A young female voice came from the receiver.

"Mm-hmm, it's me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Mr. Tang helped you order a delivery set at our restaurant. Which floor are you on now? I'll send it up to you."

Hearing the words "Mr. Tang," Zhao Yaqian’s heart jumped, knowing it must be Brother Song.

He actually ordered takeout for me, why didn't he say anything in advance! Is he trying to give me a surprise?

Zhao Yaqian instantly beamed with joy, and the grievances and unhappiness just now disappeared.

She said excitedly: "No need, I'll go down and pick it up!"

"It doesn't matter, we'll send it up to you. We often come to Yisha Beauty Salon to deliver meals, we are quite familiar. And there are a lot of things, it's not easy for you to carry alone."

Zhao Yaqian was stunned, not understanding what this sentence meant.

Isn't it just a takeout? Why would it be hard to carry?

She wasn't a person who took things too seriously, so she immediately said: "That's fine, thank you, I'm in the employee lounge at the far west end of the second floor."

Sister Li glanced at her and asked: "What's wrong, Qianqian?"

Zhao Yaqian stuck out her tongue and said happily: "Takeout ordered by a friend, didn't tell me in advance."

"It's a boyfriend, right?" A flame of gossip flashed in Sister Li’s eyes, "When did you start dating? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

A female colleague next to her asked curiously: "Qianqian, is it your boyfriend? I heard from Vivi that your boyfriend is a rich and handsome man driving a BMW, is it true or false?"

Zhao Yaqian’s face turned red, and she stammered: "Uh, no... that..."

The title of boyfriend made her heart race.

But they hadn't clarified their relationship yet, and she didn't know what they were now.

Couple? Ambiguous object? Good friend?

Wang Yan, who was eating, glanced at her and teased: "If you really had a rich and handsome boyfriend, would you still come here to work with us?"

Several other colleagues also laughed, not believing it.

Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"Knock knock knock—" The door of the employee lounge was knocked.

Two women in dark blue uniforms appeared at the door, carrying two beautiful large boxes, with upright postures and smiles on their faces.

"Excuse me, which one is Ms. Zhao Yaqian?"

Hearing her name, Zhao Yaqian hurriedly stood up, "Here."

The two women walked over quickly and put the boxes on the table.

"Wait a moment, we will help you take out the meal."

"Oh oh!" Zhao Yaqian nodded, looking at them with surprise, not understanding what kind of takeout Tang Song ordered, why the packaging was so big.

Colleagues stopped eating one after another and began to discuss.

"Isn't this takeout from Siyanfu?"

"Definitely, there is even a logo on it."

"One of my diamond members often orders dinner from this restaurant, hundreds of dollars a meal."

As a high-end beauty salon, most of the members here were rich people.

Sometimes when the care time was long, they would also order meals themselves.

Siyanfu was considered the most high-end restaurant in the area and was also their favorite.

The outer packaging of the paper box was opened, revealing the thick thermal insulation aluminum foil layer inside.

Soon, exquisite meal boxes were taken out and placed on the table in front of Zhao Yaqian.

Counting them, there were eight in total, not big, but especially beautiful.

"Ms. Zhao, this is today’s meal list, please take a look."

Zhao Yaqian blinked and took it to read carefully.

Braised beef brisket with three-color radish, abalone with flower mushrooms, meat pie with swimming crab, mushroom chicken soup, braised beef, cherries...

Before she could react.

Another box was also opened, inside was a huge, huge, huge thick durian mille-feuille cake, and it was very big, should be 10 inches.

"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Tang said that this cake is for your colleagues."

Zhao Yaqian nodded blankly, her eyes fixed on the things on the table.

"Then we will leave first, wish you a pleasant meal."

"Okay, thank you."

Watching the two leave, the lounge instantly became lively.

A group of colleagues gathered around, surrounding her, discussing chattering.

"Qianqian! Is this the meal your boyfriend ordered for you?"

"So rich! Siyanfu delivery set!"

"Qianqian, I just heard, this durian mille-feuille is for us from your boyfriend! Cut it quickly!"

"I want to eat! I want to eat!"

"Siyanfu’s durian mille-feuille, it is said that they all use a combination of Golden Pillow + Musang King, this 10-inch one, it is estimated to be nearly two thousand?"

"Qianqian, your boyfriend is so good!"

Amidst the praise, Zhao Yaqian was dizzy and flushed.

Picking up the serrated knife, she began to divide the cake and distribute it to her colleagues one by one.

Through the cross-section, one could see that it was full of golden durian pulp, with sufficient portions.

"Thank you Qianqian!"

"Thank you dear!"

"Must post a Moments! This cake is too great!"

"First time eating such an expensive durian mille-feuille!"

After a circle of cake was distributed, the colleagues who were originally cold to her instantly became good sisters.

The look at her also became very friendly.

The only one who didn't come over to receive the cake was Wang Yan, after all, she had just mocked her, and it was hard to stick to it at this time.

Among the colleagues eating cake, she looked particularly awkward.

Wang Yan pouted and left the lounge with her boxed lunch.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yaqian vaguely understood that Brother Song was helping her maintain colleague relationships, hoping that her work atmosphere could be relaxed and happy.

Opening the meal boxes in front of her one by one, revealing the exquisite dishes, fruits, and hot soup inside.

The pungent fragrance rushed over, and her stomach "gurgled."

Swallowing her saliva, she picked up her phone and took a photo, sharing it with Tang Song.

She left a message: "Takeout has been received, the cake has also been distributed to colleagues, everyone is very happy. Thank you Brother Song, I am also very happy, I have never eaten such high-end food before."

She was never a pretentious person, since Tang Song had sent the surprise, she would happily accept it and be good to him in the future.

Picking up her chopsticks and picking up a piece of braised beef brisket, it melted in her mouth, the mellow and deep meat fragrance was endless.

Picking up a piece of abalone, the taste was smooth and tender, the taste was unique, it was delicious!

The cherries were very large, the pulp was full and firm, really sweet!

The 19-year-old beautician, on this ordinary evening, tasted such luxurious and delicious food for the first time, which was a great shock.

She felt that the steak buffet at Wanda that she had been thinking about was nothing.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

[Tang Song: "As long as you are happy, but I want to see your photos more than the food."]

Zhao Yaqian’s eyebrows curved, and she selected a photo of today from the album and shared it.

[Tang Song: "You're still as beautiful as ever, and your outfit is great too. But I'd still like to know about your inner-layer style, like what kind of stockings or base layers you're wearing."]

Zhao Yaqian bit her moist lips and replied: "No being lewd!"

Yet in her heart, she was thinking, should she take a picture when she changes clothes after work?

After all, her programmer friend performed so well today!

If it's just a base layer, it should be fine, right?
