Chapter 73: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 73: Seven-Digit Afternoon Tea
Steward Wen's appearance didn't surprise him. "Grandfather sent you?"
"Yes... Old Master specifically invited a top pastry chef from France to prepare afternoon tea for Miss Ou."
At this, the housekeeper quickly took the items off the car, apologetically saying, "It's just... there's nothing for you."
"No problem."
Si Yechen glanced in the direction of the company. As long as his Yan Yan enjoyed the tea, he was happy.
"Young Master, are you here to deliver afternoon tea to Miss too?"
"Yes."
"Did I come too late?"
The housekeeper was a bit regretful. This afternoon tea was personally made by the pastry chef, using the best ingredients, a special gesture from Old Master.
If Miss had already eaten Young Master's portion and was full, she might not have the appetite for Grandpa's portion...
That would disappoint Grandpa.
At that moment, the housekeeper suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of the company. He immediately approached, respectfully handing over the items. "Miss, Old Master asked me to deliver these to you."
Ou Yan took them, offering a polite smile. "Thank Grandpa for me."
"Old Master told you to visit him when you have time, not to overwork, and to take care of yourself."
"Okay."
"Also, Old Master mentioned that the high school exam results will be out in a few days. If Miss has a preferred school, whether in the country or abroad, feel free to speak up."
"Got it."
"Furthermore, if there are any troubles at work or any dissatisfaction in life, you can seek Old Master's help."
Si Yechen smirked on the side.
He had managed the group for three years and never received an afternoon tea from Grandpa Si, let alone a caring word. Back when he was in school, Grandpa wouldn't even arrange a school for him, based on his exam scores.
Now, he was quite generous with his granddaughter-in-law.
"Thank Grandpa for me."
Ou Yan stood straight, a blend of coldness and obedience in her demeanor, pleasing to the eye.
"I will convey your thanks. I won't disturb your work any longer, Miss."
The housekeeper said this, glancing at Si Yechen beside him respectfully. "Young Master, I'll take my leave."
"Okay." Si Yechen knew he was leaving them alone intentionally.
Quite considerate.
"Why are you still here?" Ou Yan's gaze fell on Si Yechen, seeming a bit surprised.
Si Yechen reached out to touch her face, lifting a indulgent smile. "It's fate. The heavens have brought us together again."
"..."
"I'll have my afternoon tea first. As for Grandpa's portion, you don't need to force yourself."
"..."
"Go upstairs."
"Okay."
After Ou Yan left, Si Yechen reluctantly stood there for a while before leaving.
Inside the car, Li Yusha didn't expect Grandpa Si to send the housekeeper to deliver afternoon tea to Ou Yan!
At this moment, she was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of her seven orifices, nearly going crazy with jealousy!
That logo on the meal box belonged to August, the top French pastry chef's exclusive symbol!
Only the pastries he made could be placed in such a box.
Don't be fooled by the small quantity; with his reputation, a single batch would cost at least seven figures.
Grandpa Si actually invited August to make afternoon tea for an uncultivated girl?! He valued her too much, didn't he?
The senior housekeeper, seeing Li Yusha's distorted face, couldn't help but say, "Miss Yusha, don't mind it. All relationships start like this, slowly the fondness will decrease, and conflicts will arise..."
Li Yusha clenched her fists. No, she couldn't wait idly. Right now, Si Yechen wasn't interested in her, and Grandpa Si kept his distance...
Back in the office, Ou Yan, looking at over a dozen bags of afternoon tea on the coffee table, felt a bit overwhelmed.
Even if she had these for dinner, she couldn't finish them all.
He Ning came in to report on work, seeing the snacks, he almost drooled...
"President Ou, you're too extravagant. For just an afternoon tea, you ordered so much... Can you finish all of this?"
"Help yourself." Ou Yan wasn't used to eating afternoon tea. Instead of wasting it, she preferred to share.
"President Ou, are you serious? Afternoon tea made by August and Benson... You're letting me take some casually?" He Ning was almost shocked.
Ou Yan raised her eyebrows, as if asking, who are August and Benson?
"President Ou, you really don't know who they are?"
He Ning widened his eyes, swallowing saliva. "August is a top French pastry chef, and Benson is a big shot in the British pastry world."
"..." Ou Yan hadn't heard of them, raising her brows. "Are they expensive?"
"General Ou, these afternoon teas aren't ordered by you? That means the person who ordered them for you really values and likes you..."
"Oh?"
"August has retired. Asking him to make afternoon tea is not just about money."
"..."
"And Benson, the last time an international superstar wanted to eat his afternoon tea, it took three whole months of planning and using countless connections for Benson to agree."
"..."
"Your afternoon teas, combined, must be at least seven figures."
Ou Yan: ??? Seven figures??? Robbery???
"President Ou, don't doubt it. Their reputation alone is worth that price."
Looking at the quantity, it was quite a lot, and the workmanship was exquisite.
"Choose." Ou Yan lazily leaned on the sofa, indifferent in tone, as if this was just an ordinary afternoon tea with no difference to her.
"Well, can I take a few?" He Ning selected some, but they were all relatively ordinary or repeated pastries. He didn't dare touch the expensive ones.
After a while, Yin Panpan came to ask about the drawing, and Ou Yan let her take some too.
The remaining ones were being picked up. Ou Yan was just about to take a bite when she heard He Ning's voice outside.
"Vice President Hu, you really can't go in..."
"Let me consult with President Ou!."
"Your anger towards me won't help... Even if you break in, you'll have to leave obediently in the end... Why bother?"
"Let him in." Ou Yan said lazily.
Hu Linquan burst in, seeing Ou Yan sitting on the sofa, enjoying her afternoon tea. He smiled apologetically, "President Ou, there might be a misunderstanding between us. I don't know if you have time. Can we talk?"
"Sorry." Ou Yan casually took a bite of dessert. "I'm busy."
"If you have any opinions about me, just let me know. I'll definitely make changes." Hu Linquan smiled, "About my relatives... Can we turn the page?"
Ou Yan stopped eating the dessert, raising her eyebrows. "He fed my employees with all sorts of additives for a whole year... If that happened to you, would you easily let him go?"
