Chapter Twenty-One Like Whom

  "Hua, you must not have had breakfast yet? I bought you breakfast and put it in your drawer, remember to eat it!"

  An office clerk brought in a file and saw that the manager was not there, busy trying to curry favor with Du Huahua, her voice sweet enough to drip honey.

  Du Huahua stood up straight and smiled, saying: "Thank you!"

  Another clerk came in, holding two cups of tea, and placed one on Du Huahua's desk, saying softly: "Huahua, I've brewed a cup of green tea for you, remember to drink it while it's hot!"

  "Thanks, I'll just make it myself next time!" Du Hu said with a flat tone and a hint of impatience that was almost imperceptible.

  It turned out that there were also male flower vases in the office. Ning Qingmin muttered to herself, her hands moving swiftly as she printed out the report she had written.

  "Not bad, you typed very quickly!" Du Huahua said from behind: "After typing, take it to be photocopied, ten copies of each, and then send one copy to each department."

  Just now the manager only asked us to print it out and didn't ask us to do anything else. Do you want to listen to this "Tofu Flower"'s instructions? What position is "Tofu Flower" anyway?

  Ning Qingming slightly tilted her head and saw that Du Huahua was wearing a name tag around his neck today. Du Huahua saw Ning Qingming staring at the name tag, picked it up, and handed it over to Ning Qingming for a closer look. Ning Qingming saw that it read "Deputy Manager of the Human Resources Department" and suddenly realized, saying: "So you're my direct superior."

  "Of course, otherwise, what right do I have to order you around!" Du Hu's tone was slightly stern, "I'm not just a vase!"

  "Pfft", although Ning Qingming's face was stern, when she heard Du Huahua's self-deprecating words, she couldn't help but laugh too.

  "Hua. Hua......" A girl at the office door called out in a soft voice: "I'm going shopping tonight. Can you take me there?"

  "No way. I have something important tonight!" Du Huahua refused resolutely and returned to her own desk, raising a finger: "Working hours. Please don't disturb again."

  The girl walked away with a huff. Two clerks snorted in derision. "Thinks she's superior just because she's the summary clerk on that side. Running around during work hours and affecting our work at Huahua."

  Ning Qingmian lowered his head and smiled. It turned out that being a vase wasn't easy either. There were too many flowers that wanted to be inserted into his bottle, and he was exhausted from dealing with them.

  "Today is the year-end summary. Need to go to the conference room for recording! Hurry up!" Two clerks took their files and walked side by side.

  The office was quiet with less human voice. There were only sounds of "da da" typing and flipping through files.

  Ning Qingmin felt that his ears had cleared up a lot, and he secretly glanced over at Du Huahua's side, seeing him bowing his head to look at documents, and quickly withdrew his gaze, also bowing his head to start writing.

  After finishing a large stack of reports, Ning Qingmin straightened up and rubbed his neck with his hand, only then did he feel how hungry he was. He had worked overtime drilling holes the night before, and was too tired to get up early in the morning, so he didn't have time to eat breakfast before coming to work, now his stomach was rebelling.

  Still have to send the report! Ning Qingmin stood up with the report, possibly standing too quickly, and felt a dizziness in front of her eyes. She hurriedly reached out to grab the back of the chair. The chair had rotating feet, and as soon as she grabbed it, it fell to the ground, and Ning Qingmin followed suit, falling to the ground, with the reports in her hand scattering all over the place.

  Ah, I'm so unlucky! Why do I always make a fool of myself in front of the same person? Ning Qingmin sighed and hurriedly tried to get up, but her legs felt weak.

  "What's wrong?"

  Du Huahua heard the sound and rushed over, helped Ning Qingmian up, sat her down in a chair, and then helped pick up the report.

  "Is everything all right?" Du Huahua stood in front of Ning Qingmian, slightly leaning forward, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

  "Maybe low blood sugar!" Ning Qingmin covered her stomach with her hand and said, "I didn't eat breakfast!" As she spoke, the tip of her foot lightly touched the floor, quietly sliding her chair back a bit. This Du Huahua was standing too close!

  "I told you so!" Du Huahua ran back to her own desk, pulled out a bag of bread from the drawer, tore open the mouth of the bag, revealing half of the bread, and handed it to Ning Qingmian, indicating for him to take one. "The clerks are very considerate of me, they often check my drawers and replenish some food inside from time to time."

  Ning Qingmian stretched out her hand to take the bread, but saw that it had just fallen on the ground and her hands were a bit dirty. She said in a low voice: "I'll go wash my hands before I eat!"

  "It's okay, if you fainted in the bathroom, it would be a joke!" Du Huahua pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Ning Qingmian, "I'll feed you!" As she said that, she pinched the edge of the paper bag and brought the bread close to Ning Qingmian's mouth.

  "Ah!" Ning Qing's face suddenly turned red, and she was very puzzled, what's going on?

  Ning Qingmin's mouth was stuffed with bread by Du Huahua as soon as she opened it. Ning Qingmin had to bite into it, feeling very uneasy in her heart, this situation was absolutely too abnormal.

  "I'll eat it myself!" Ning Qing quietly slid her chair back a bit, grabbed a scrap of paper and tried to use it to wrap the bread.

  "That paper is too dirty, let me feed you!" Du Huahua moved in a bit closer, with an earnest expression, and once again brought the bread to Ning Qingmin's mouth.

  Who's afraid of whom? Ning Qingming steeled herself and took a big bite of the bread. What was she afraid of, anyway? Besides, with people coming and going in the office, it would be even more awkward if someone saw them lingering around. Better to just finish the bread quickly and get it over with. As she thought this, she took another big bite of the bread.

  "Look, after just eating two bites of bread, your complexion has already improved. Remember to eat breakfast from now on!" Du Huahua's eyes showed a hint of warmth as he muttered: "If you didn't wear glasses, you'd definitely look even more like it!"

  "What?" Ning Qing didn't hear clearly what Du Huahua said afterwards, and thought he was still marveling at the magical bread that made his face turn red with just two bites. He also muttered to himself: Can't he tell the difference between a red face and a flushed complexion?

  "It's nothing, eat!"

  Then, Du Huahua accompanied Ning Qingmin to eat the breakfast bought by a certain staff member for him, and then accompanied Ning Qingmin to drink a cup of hot tea. Only then did he smile and say: "You should send the report to each department now!"

  "Thank you!" Ning Qingmin bit her lip, "Sorry, I need you to feed me breakfast!"

  "No need to thank me, if you feel embarrassed, just treat me to breakfast next time!" Du Huahua's face was smiling but her heart wasn't.

  "Why are you being so nice to me?" Ning Qingming wasn't stupid and knew that someone who was enthusiastic about feeding her bread after just two meetings definitely had an ulterior motive.

  "Because you're like a human!" Du Huahua's mouth corners curved slightly, her eyes drifting off.

  "Like your sister?" Ning Qingmin guessed.

  "I don't have a sister!" Du Huahua shook her head.

  "Like your girlfriend?" Ning Qingmin boldly guessed, although he thought the possibility was not high. A boy like Du Huahua would definitely find a very beautiful girlfriend if he were to have one. If it were someone like himself, it would be hard to explain. But he didn't rule out the possibility of it being his first love. During first loves, people often foolishly fall in love with those who are not suitable for them.

  "I don't have a girlfriend!" Du Huahua became interested, "Guess again!"

  "Is it like your mom?" Ning Qing lost interest and didn't have the patience to guess anymore, so she casually said a sentence.

  "This time I guessed it right!" Du Huahua jumped back to his own desk and laughed wildly on the table.

  Ning Qing's face suddenly turned black.
