PFC Chapter 243 Taking Uncle to Eat Hot Pot
Chapter 243 Taking Uncle to Eat Hot Pot
The closer it gets to the end of the year, the slower Xiaomai feels time passes. Maybe it’s because she is looking forward to the New Year reunion too much!
The company's employees are not in the mood to work. Fortunately, there is no important work now, and it is just a simple year-end wrap-up.
Since Zhang Pengfei and Jiang Nannan decided to go back home to get married during the Spring Festival, they have been extremely busy these days. They go shopping for supplies after get off work every day, and even have to run out to buy something during lunch break, for fear of leaving anything behind.
Just after lunch, Nan Nan wanted to go out shopping again.
"Nannan, are you going out at noon today?" Xiaomai asked.
"Well, I want to buy some more gifts for Pengfei's family. I can't be impolite the first time I visit them!" Nan Nan said.
"We have a holiday the day after tomorrow, why don't we take a day off to go shopping together? There's only so much time at noon, it won't be enough for you to pick things out!"
"But we have to leave on holiday. We don't have time."
"What a rush! How many things have you not bought yet?"
"It's nothing else, except these gifts."
"Then don't go at noon today, just take a rest at the company! I'll go shopping with you in the evening!" Xiaomai saw that Nan Nan was busy every day and must be very tired these two days!
"Well then! It just so happens that you can give me a lot of advice."
So the two of them had another pleasant and relaxing lunch break. "By the way, Xiaomai, why didn't you go upstairs today?"
"Uncle went to He's."
"Oh, that's what I said. You don't let me go out to buy things. Turns out you have no one to accompany you!" Nan Nan looked at Xiao Mai with a wicked smile.
Xiaomai felt embarrassed as if her secrets had been exposed, but she still said stubbornly, "I just saw that you were working too hard, so I asked you to take a break."
"Don't give me that." The two of them laughed and joked and soon went to work in the afternoon. Before leaving get off work, Xiaomai called He Lingting.
"Hello." He Lingting's magnetic voice came.
"Uncle, let's discuss something!" Xiaomai said guiltily.
"You don't have to pick me up after get off work. I promised Nan Nan at noon that I would go shopping with her and buy things for her hometown in the evening."
"Oh! Are you going to help carry the things?"
"No, Zhang Pengfei is the one who carries the things. I'm the advisor. Nan Nan can't make up her mind and wants my help." Xiaomai knew that He Lingting was afraid of getting tired, so she explained her position first.
"Okay then! We must eat first and then go shopping."
"Okay, as you command! Goodbye, uncle, and you can go home first!"
"Goodbye!" After they hung up the phone, Xiaomai looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work. There was not much work left, so she simply packed up her things and waited to get off work.
After get off work, Jiang Nannan and Xiaomai took every opportunity to rush to the mall.
Zhang Pengfei was responsible for driving and carrying the bags. "Xiaomi, eat first! Then you will have energy to go shopping later." Nan Nan suggested.
"Alright, let's have some fast food! It saves time."
So the three of them found a beef noodle restaurant for a simple dinner, and then went to the mall to start a big shopping spree. As expected, with Xiaomai's joining, Nan Nan was less hesitant and bought things much faster. It was just past eight o'clock, and Nan Nan had already bought everything, including the gifts for Zhang Pengfei's little niece.
"It's done, finally everything is ready, Xiaomai! Thanks to you, otherwise I don't think I would be able to buy everything before going home." Nannan held Xiaomai's hand and thanked her!
"You are just too entangled and overwhelmed. Okay, go home after you finish shopping! I am going home too."
"Let us take you back!" Zhang Pengfei said.
"Okay!" Xiao Mai responded, let them take it! It's so late, so I won't bother the uncle to make a trip. But just as they were about to leave, He Lingting called.
Xiaomai picked up the phone immediately, "Hello, uncle."
"Well, have you finished shopping?"
"I finished shopping and was about to leave when you called."
"Which floor are you on? Wait for me right there! I'm here."
"Ah! Didn't I tell you to go home first?" Xiaomai asked in surprise.
"There's no point in me going home alone, so I might as well walk around and wait for my wife! Wait for me! I'll come to find you right away." He Lingting said.
"Okay, I'm in the gift area on the third floor, come on over!" Xiaomai told He Lingting where she was, then turned to Nan Nan and Zhang Pengfei and said, "You guys go back! I don't need you to see me off, the uncle will be here soon."
"Ah! The president is here, and he really holds you in the palm of his hand! He has to do everything himself!" Jiang Nannan said enviously.
"Don't envy me, isn't your girl the same?" Xiaomai raised her chin towards Zhang Pengfei, and Jiang Nannan's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
"Okay, my Nan Nan is shy, so stop teasing her." Zhang Pengfei said to Nan Nan's little appearance.
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, He Lingting arrived. He walked directly to Xiaomai, touched the little girl's head and asked gently, "Are you waiting anxiously?"
"No." Xiaomai shook her head.
Zhang Pengfei and Nan Nan hurriedly said, "Hello, President!"
He Lingting said "hmm" coldly, and then the two said goodbye. Xiaomai asked He Lingting, "Have you had dinner?"
"No, I'll wait for you."
"Didn't you tell me to eat first? Why don't you eat yourself? It's already so late, you must be starving!"
"It's OK. I can't eat without you."
"Hurry, let's find a place and eat. Uncle, what do you want to eat?" Xiaomai looked around the mall, trying to find a restaurant.
"Baby, what do you want to eat?" He Lingting asked Xiaomai directly.
"I've already eaten beef noodles, how can I eat more? Ah! Uncle, there is a hot pot restaurant over there, why don't you have some hot pot!" Xiaomai looked up and saw a hot pot restaurant at the corner. The decoration style looked very unique, so she suggested going there to eat.
"it is good."
So the two of them entered the hot pot restaurant, and the dishes they ordered came up quickly. Xiao Mai really couldn't eat much, she just liked the atmosphere and feeling of hot pot. She kept brushing the mutton, and then gave it to He Lingting when it was cooked. A plate of meat was soon piled in front of He Lingting. He had just finished eating it with the sauce when the little girl piled another plate.
"Baby, take a rest first. I can't eat anymore." He Lingting said helplessly to the little girl.
"Ah! Why do you eat so little? Can you be full?"
"Too little? Let me eat all the four plates of meat you ordered! There are other dishes too. Hubby is really full."
"Yeah, then don't eat! You can't eat too much this late."
When He Lingting heard Xiaomai's words, he quickly shouted, "Waiter, pay the bill." He was really worried that the little girl hadn't had enough of her hands, and he still had to eat!
The waiter handed over the list, He Lingting paid the bill, and walked out with Xiaomai.
"Baby, do you want to go shopping?" He Lingting glanced at the time. It was not yet nine o'clock, but the mall was still quite busy.
"No, there's nothing to buy. Let's go home! I have to stand guard for the last day tomorrow." Xiaomai herself doesn't like to make noise, and she doesn't have the habit of staying up late, so she really wants to go home.
"Okay, let's go home." He Lingting held Xiaomai's hand and walked towards the elevator, preparing to go directly to the parking lot to drive home.
