Chapter 90 Ouyang Jiani: Can feet still be used to put out the fire?_2
Unfortunately, that was the side closest to the floor. Just as she was about to land, a pair of large, sturdy hands caught her securely.
The shaken Ouyang Jiani looked up at the man holding her, her face lighting up with unexpected joy. "Master, when did you get here? I didn't sense you at all."
Sun Dasheng sat on the sofa, holding her.
He teased her with a smile, "What was someone doing just now? So engrossed that you didn't even hear my grand entrance?"
"Haha... I was replying to a classmate's message, that's why I didn't notice you, Master." Ouyang Jiani tried to laugh it off.
But Sun Dasheng wouldn't let it go. "But it seemed to me that someone was grinning foolishly at a photo."
"Ah..." Caught red-handed, Ouyang Jiani shyly buried her face in his chest, flustered and annoyed. "Master, you saw everything, so why are you still asking?"
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. What were you doing with my photo?" Sun Dasheng gently drew her head out of his embrace.
Ouyang Jiani felt her cheeks burning. She touched her face with one hand and said, "I missed you, Master, so I took it out for a look during a work break. Can't I do that?"
Towards the end of her sentence, she resorted to a classic female tactic: turning the tables.
"Sure, of course you can, as long as you weren't doing anything strange with my photo," Sun Dasheng said, pinching her little cheek.
Ouyang Jiani swatted his hand away, pouting. "What are you talking about, Master? What strange things? I don't understand."
That's what I'm saying, but my heart is pounding. I definitely haven't done the "strange things" Master mentioned at the office... but at home, I think I actually have. Still, I'd die before admitting something like that!
"I didn't say you actually did anything, I was just making a comment," Sun Dasheng said as he straightened her up in his arms, ready to talk business.
He then recounted his conversation with the receptionist and finally asked, "What do you think?"
"Of course, I support it! As expected of you, Master, you think things through much more thoroughly than I do. I really hadn't paid attention to these trivial daily matters. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have kept thinking that ordering takeout wasn't a big deal."
"Now I see that setting up a quality, affordable cafeteria inside the company is an excellent idea. It would definitely boost employee morale and happiness. Master, rest assured, our company has plenty of cash in its accounts. Leave this matter to your apprentice."
"Good. Since you say money is no object, then you can also take responsibility for the meals of the employees from the other companies in this building."
"Huh? But... won't people have a problem with so many others coming to our company to eat?"
Then, she felt a light rap on her forehead.
"Ouch! Master, why did you hit me? I didn't say anything wrong," Ouyang Jiani complained, rubbing her forehead indignantly.
"What are you thinking? I didn't tell you to set up a cafeteria in this building. Even if you wanted to, the property management would never agree."
"Oh, right," Ouyang Jiani realized belatedly.
"So what do you mean, Master?"
"Find a larger storefront nearby. The location doesn't have to be prime, just close. Once the food is prepared there, just have someone package it and deliver it to the offices," Sun Dasheng explained.
"Then how would they place their orders?" Ouyang Jiani asked blankly.
Seeing her master's hand rising for another rap, she quickly caught on.
"Don't hit me, I get it! We can create an internal ordering app for the company, and employees can place their orders online."
"So you knew all along and were just playing dumb," Sun Dasheng gave her an exasperated look.
"Hehe... I'm not normally like this. It's just that your aura is too powerful, Master, it overwhelms me... Your little apprentice is always a bit silly in front of you."
It's true what they say: a coquettish woman gets the best in life. Faced with her playful antics, Sun Dasheng was helpless against her.
"Alright, let go of my neck, you're going to strangle me." Sun Dasheng freed his neck from her arms and gave the playful troublemaker a light swat on the bottom. "So it's settled. You're responsible for the meals for all employees in this building—headquarters and branch offices alike."
"Don't worry, Master, I'll handle this for you perfectly."
"If anything goes wrong, you'll face military justice!"
Ouyang Jiani gave him a mock salute, then clung to his arm and rocked it back and forth. "Master, I accept the mission. But can you give me a little support?"
"What support? Didn't you say the company's funds were sufficient?" Sun Dasheng remained unmoved.
Growing annoyed by her persistent shaking, he finally relented. "The meal subsidies will be covered by each respective company based on their number of employees. It won't all be charged to your company's account, alright?"
"Is that all?" Ouyang Jiani pursed her lips, clearly unsatisfied.
"Alright, stop making me guess. Just say what you want."
"Hehe... I knew you were the best to me, Master! Our company is thinking about signing another major influencer. What do you think?"
Ouyang Jiani had finally revealed her true intentions.
I was wondering why she was so agreeable today, immediately taking on the task after I mentioned it, Sun Dasheng thought as he looked at his wheedling apprentice. So this is what she was waiting for. 'To take, one must first give.' This little girl has truly grasped the wisdom of our ancestors.
"I'm not so sure about that. How much does it cost to sign a major influencer these days? Do you think it's worth it?"
"Besides, have you considered if the other major influencer we already signed might have an issue with this? Have you thought it all through?"
