Chapter 10 - Zhuang Yanyu is... so terrifying!

On the way back, it was Special Assistant Lin who drove. Zhuang Yanyu and Wen Chenxi sat in the back seats.

Special Assistant Lin felt a very subtle feeling in his heart at this time, especially when he listened to the continuous conversations coming from behind, it only made Special Assistant Lin feel even more subtle.

“Since it’s a small problem, it won’t affect anything much. You don’t have to go next time.”

“I’ll analyze the situation myself.”

“Okay, ask me when you can’t figure out the priorities.”

“You don’t want me to work overtime either.”

“En, I’m afraid you,” paused for a moment, “I’m afraid you will feel tired.”

Special Assistant Lin held the steering wheel tightly and tried hard to control himself so as not to let the steering wheel slip.

Afraid you will feel tired?

A capitalist could actually say such a thing!

Mr. Wen, did he still remember that he was also working overtime now!

To tell the truth, if his salary was not double that of all other jobs of the same field in the country, and there would be high bonuses from time to time, he would definitely have resigned!

He didn’t feel tired because he had a lot of money!

But he still finds it incredible that this was what Mr. Wen said!

However, this remark made a certain small employee feel very useful.

Zhuang Yanyu was moved in his heart, and his eyes were full of light when he looked at Wen Chenxi.

His good brother was worried about him, this made Zhuang Yanyu feel even more guilty.

Zhuang Yanyu: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have forgotten the promise I made with you tonight.”

Wen Chenxi: “Don’t worry, it’s normal to forget things when you get busy.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “This is not normal.”

Wen Chenxi looked at the person sitting beside him.

The section of the road back to the city from the port was in the suburbs. There were not many cars on the road. The few cars seemed to be quiet on the road. The street lights shone in through the car window, passing layer by layer, casting light and shadow on Zhuang Yanyu’s face, and also blinding him. The tangled emotions on his face were enlarged.

Zhuang Yanyu was still puzzled, he patted his head in frustration, as if his head was a lagging computer. He remembered the previous abnormality was caused by lagging, becoming smooth again after two taps.

Wen Chenxi pursed his lips, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Zhuang Yanyu was really confused. He never forgot anything. He remembered clearly all the planned things. His brain was like an alarm clock. When he reached a certain planning point, he would naturally be reminded what to do.

This was the first time he forgot.

Zhuang Yanyu was a little frustrated. Was this the difference between a human brain and a chip brain?

When human beings concentrate on doing something, they ignore everything around them.

But the machine would not, the machine would still remind one— what to do now, because the master brain had set everything up.

Wen Chenxi looked at the confused little employee with helplessness and secret joy at the same time.

The more entangled the other party was, the more important it was to meet tonight.

But Zhuang Yanyu’s entanglement was soon attracted by other things.

He glanced at the time and said: “8:02.”

Wen Chenxi: “En, you said earlier that the pick-up point at the bus station was 24-hours?”

Zhuang Yanyu nodded: “Yes, we can pick it up now too.”

Then he looked down at the time, “8:03.”

Wen Chenxi: “?”

Zhuang Yanyu checked the time on the phone every minute.

Wen Chenxi didn’t know if it’s his illusion, but he had a feeling that when Zhuang Yanyu was looking at the time, it was exactly every 60 seconds and was not late by even a second.

Wen Chenxi thought for a while, and asked: “Is there anything else to do at night?”

Zhuang Yanyu was like an old machine, and the sound made by him seemed like that his battery was low, a little sleepy: “No.”

Wen Chenxi: “Then? ”

Zhuang Yanyu was weak: “Eat at 6:30, study tasks at 7:00, and at 8:00, I should do a summary of my daily studies, a summary of daily work done, and a summary of…” the progress of my friendship with my good brother.

Zhuang Yanyu’s voice became even weaker: “I didn’t do anything tonight.”

One plan went wrong, and all his subsequent plans couldn’t keep up.

He had to take a bath at 9:00, wash his clothes before 9:30, and then soak his feet for 15 minutes. It was said that this was the most healthy habit of human beings. After soaking, he would lie on the bed and read human books for 30 minutes. And finally turn off the lights to sleep at 10:15.

However, today, it was now, 8:05.

He hadn’t done a single thing since he got off work!

Hearing this, Wen Chenxi: “…”

He looked at Zhuang Yanyu who started to ‘lack energy’ because his plan was interrupted.

Xiao Yu…does he have a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Wen Chenxi: “Do you really have to eat at 6:30?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Scientific research shows that the best time for dinner is between 17:00-19:00. Since most office workers leave work after 17:00, this excluded takeaway and dining out, on the premise of cooking at home, 18:30 is the most scientific, cleanest, and most hygienic eating time.”

Wen Chenxi: “…En.”

Zhuang Yanyu was puzzled: “Are you laughing?”

He stared at Wen Chenxi’s suddenly curved lips, not quite understanding what his brother was laughing at.

Wen Chenxi lowered his lips, he suddenly remembered the report that Zhuang Yanyu wrote when he refused to eat cake the last time.

When Xiao Yu wrote that report, did he have the same expression now?

Just imagining it brought a smile to Wen Chenxi’s eyes.

Wen Chenxi changed the subject: “Now, should we eat first or get the goods?”

Zhuang Yanyu said wearily, “Eat.”

Considering the obsessive-compulsive disorder of the small employee, Wen Chenxi did not choose any high-end restaurants, but chose a restaurant with a good environment near the station, which was close enough to pick up the food earlier.

While eating, Wen Chenxi discovered another special thing about Zhuang Yanyu, that was, he must chew slowly when eating, puffing his cheeks, chewing slowly, and chewing each bite 30 times.

Wen Chenxi didn’t pay much attention at first, but later found that Zhuang Yanyu was very regular, chewing on the left side first, and then on the right side.

He counted calmly, exactly fifteen on each side.

After Wen Chenxi discovered this small detail, he raised his eyebrows slightly, took out his mobile phone and searched, and the search results found—

“Scientific research shows that it is best to chew each bite of food about thirty times, which is not only conducive to the body’s absorption, but also …”

Wen Chenxi: Sure enough.

After Zhuang Yanyu finished eating, it was just right, 20 minutes.

Wen Chenxi searched again, and scientific data showed that each meal was best eaten for about 20 minutes.

Wen Chenxi raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he had seen this kind of strange obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Why was Xiao Yu even more special than others in his type of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

After eating and wiping his mouth, Zhuang Yanyu even said to him worriedly: “If you don’t concentrate enough on eating, it will easily burden your stomach. Overtime, you will get stomach problems.”

Apparently, he noticed that Wen Chenxi had been continuously staring at him just now.

However, if it were someone else, if Wen Chenxi looked at them like this, they might not be able to eat.

The inability to eat here did not mean that it was difficult to swallow, but that they would get nervous, shy, and even have various unrealistic thoughts.

However, Zhuang Yanyu only came to one conclusion: His good brother was too inattentive when eating! What if he ate fish and got stuck on a fishbone?

Wen Chenxi raised his lips and suppressed a smile: “En, I will pay more attention in the future.”

Zhuang Yanyu was relieved after hearing his good brother listening to his persuasion, and felt that this running-in period didn’t seem to be particularly difficult.

After eating, they finally had time to go to the 24-hour pick-up point of the freight station to pick up the fruits Lao Zhuang had planted and take them into the city.

Lao Zhuang sent a large snakeskin bag. When it was opened, they found all kinds of fruits in it, in season, out of season, from north and from south.

There was another small foam box next to it, which contained grapes that he(LZ) was afraid of getting crushed.

“My father planted them all.” Zhuang Yanyu was proud.

Special Assistant Lin, who had regarded himself as an invisible person in the entire journey, finally exerted his strength. Without Mr. Wen’s signal, he went over and took the initiative to carry the snakeskin bag of fruit.

Then… he didn’t move.

Assistant Lin: “…”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Dad said it was a bit heavy, so he told me to find someone to help move it.”

Special Assistant Lin thought about it and understood, such a big snakeskin bag contained apples, dragon fruit, and everything else. They were all relatively heavy fruits, probably weighing hundreds of catties, and it was said that there were even a few large watermelons weighing almost ten catties in them.

And as a leader who stayed in the office all year round, it’s normal that he couldn’t handle it.

“Let’s lift it together.”

Zhuang Yanyu was about to step forward to lift it with Assistant Lin when a suit jacket was thrown in his hand.

Wen Chenxi: “You carry the clothes, I’ll carry the fruits.”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhuang Yanyu’s reaction, he stepped forward, took the place of Special Assistant Lin, and picked up the oversized snakeskin bag, while Special Assistant Lin carried it behind.

In summer, at 10 o’clock, in the middle of the night, a gust of wind blew, which reduced the sultry heat of the day and added a little bit of coolness.

Maybe it was because they were both wearing suits and shirts, but were carrying a very rustic snakeskin bag, which was very eye-catching, that people passing by the freight station looked at them curiously.

Special Assistant Lin, who was carrying the snakeskin bag with Mr. Wen, thought numbly: Tonight, Mr. Wen was here to carry this… En, the total value of these fruits may be about 1,000 yuan, but they would be then placed in his 6 million yuan luxury car.

Special Assistant Lin glanced back secretly again and saw Zhuang Yanyu following them with a box of grapes and an expensive suit jacket, without a trace of emotion on his face.

He seemed like it was only natural for a president worth trillions to do this kind of thing for him.

Assistant Lin took a deep breath quietly, Zhuang Yanyu… was so terrifying!

Lao Zhuang was a very hospitable person, especially when he was at the farmhouse last time, Ji Zhiyuan was quite good at talking, saying that the fruits grown in Lao Zhuang were sweeter than other places, which made Lao Zhuang very happy.

In addition, both Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi were Wen Chenxi’s friends, friends of his Xiao Shi Yi’s good brother, so Lao Zhuang specially asked Zhuang Yanyu to send the fruit to them this time.

So this snakeskin bag of fruit was delivered to the gate of Zhuang Yanyu’s community first. Zhuang Yanyu went home and took a lot of small bags and began to pack them on the spot.

It’s too stupid to carry it home and

separate them there, and Zhuang Yanyu doesn’t want his good brother to be tired.

“This one is better, this one is for you.”

Zhuang Yanyu had three bags beside him, and he picked out the best fruits first, and put them in the bag to be distributed to Wen Chenxi.

He picked out the rest, and divided them into the bags for Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi.

Wen Chenxi didn’t stop him, allowing Zhuang Yanyu to blatantly favor him.

The last big bag of snakeskin bags of fruit was packed separately. Wen Chenxi’s bag was of the best quality and freshest, and it took up a third of it for just one person!

The remaining two-thirds were divided into four shares, Ji Zhiyuan, Li Xi, and Zhuang Yanyu each had a share, and one share was given to Special Assistant Lin.

Special Assistant Lin was flattered: “Thank you, Mr. Zhuang.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “You’re welcome, thank you for your hard work.”

Special Assistant Lin: “No, not at all.”

It was almost 11:00 after they finished everything. Letting Zhuang Yanyu go back to sleep earlier, Wen Chenxi and Special Assistant Lin delivered the fruits to the others.

Zhuang Yanyu told him that it was okay to send it off the next day, and told them to be careful when they went back.

After saying goodbye to each other, Wen Chenxi and Special Assistant Lin left with the fruits.

When getting out of the car, Wen Chenxi was carrying his huge bag of fruit, and his eyes fell on Special Assistant Lin’s small bag intentionally or unintentionally.

Wen Chenxi: “My bag may weigh more than thirty catties.”

Special Assistant Lin, who was carrying a bag less than ten catties: “??”

Was it too heavy?

Special Assistant Lin: “You¹ rest, I’ll carry it for you¹!”

Wen Chenxi avoided his hand, and his eyes fell on his bag again: “How much do you have?

Special Assistant Lin said: “Ai², Mr. Wen, I can’t compare to you. What is the relationship between you¹ and Mr. Zhuang, and what is the relationship between me and Mr. Zhuang, right? Mr. Zhuang is willing to give me a little bit, I can’t believe it, I heard that this fruit is all grown by his father, it is pure natural and has no pesticides, and it may be very expensive to sell outside!”

Wen Chen raised his lips and spoke softly: “En, go back early, today’s overtime pay will be tripled.”

Special Assistant Lin was full of enthusiasm in an instant: “Okay, thank you Mr. Wen!”

The author has something to say:

PS——

Wen Chenxi: I have the most, the best and the biggest.

¹- 您, the respectable ‘you’.

²- 哎, just a sound ‘ai’, don’t really mean anything, just the pinyin of the chinese word describing a sigh.

Helen:

No one can save Wen Chenxi already~

P.s. I wanna eat fruits too, starting to crave for mangos… ;P

~Spoiler~

Xiao Xi is “abandoned” when he wanted to ask Xiao Yu out for dinner~ (with Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi as excuses) (∩_∩)
