284 Running An Errand
Jing Yan still paid attention to Tao Xin’s matter. The next day, when he arrived at the company, he secretly called the head of the finance department and gave him a stack of bills. He asked him to bring to Chen Zhao to the next building for an audit.
He Miao and Jing Yan worked together. She was responsible for calling Tao Xin out and sending her to the spice market to buy new spices for her.
She wanted to try the recipes that Ye Ning had left for her. If possible, she wanted to use the recipes that her mother had left for her as the first product of the company.
The spices that He Miao wanted were very difficult to find. Tao Xin had been running all over the place but still could not find all of them. She could not be bothered to help He Miao, so she found a cafe nearby and sat down. She called another female secretary, Xu Ling, who was working at the company, and asked her to help her buy the next few things.
Xu Ling was checking reports with Chen Zhao and was caught off guard by the other task. She declined unwillingly, “This isn’t very good, is it? It’s my working hours now, Sister Tao. I still have work to do.”
“Tao Xin is looking for you?” Chen Zhao put down the things in his hands almost immediately and stared at Xu Ling in anticipation.
She could only hand the phone over to Chen Zhao and nod timidly. “It’s Sister Tao. Brother Chen, you can talk to her.”
Chen Zhao picked up the phone. His mood suddenly brightened. He asked with a smile, “Tao Xin, did you encounter any difficulties?”
Hearing his voice, Tao Xin’s domineering tone suddenly softened. “Brother Chen, Miss He gave me a task that requires me to run an errand, but I couldn’t complete it even if I broke my legs. My feet are blistered now. Please ask Lingling to help me, or I’ll lose both my legs today.”
After hearing this, Chen Zhao was filled with concern. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t you supervising the company’s renovation? It’s such a big project, why would Miss He let you run an errand for no reason?”
“I don’t know either!” Tao Xin’s voice sounded even more aggrieved, and she sounded like she was about to cry. “Is it because Miss He doesn’t like me and wants to drive me away? Is that why she’s trying so hard to get rid of me?”
“Why would she? Don’t overthink it,” Chen Zhao said in a gentle voice. “Miss He is a nice person. She won’t make things difficult for you on purpose. Oh, where are you now? I’ll ask Lingling to go and help you.”
Tao Xin thanked him gratefully and hung up the phone after telling him where she was. She sipped her coffee and took beautiful selfies while leisurely waiting for Xu Ling to come over and work for her.
Xu Ling’s phone was always turned to the maximum volume, so she heard Tao Xin’s words clearly. She could not help but exclaim at how fast Tao Xin’s attitude changed.
Tao Xin was clearly still bossy when she spoke to her, but now that the phone was in Chen Zhao’s hands, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She spoke in a soft voice and seemed particularly coquettish.
Xu Ling was disdainful, but she did not dare to say anything in front of Chen Zhao.
After hearing that he agreed on her behalf, Xu Ling could only resign herself to her fate and grab her coat and bag to help Tao Xin. Who asked Chen Zhao to be her direct superior, and Tao Xin happened to be Chen Zhao’s favorite person?
She was just an ordinary secretary with no background, and she could only work for others without complaint.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Xu Ling saw Tao Xin’s relaxed expression and rolled her eyes in her heart. She then looked at the high heels on her feet. How did they look like they were blistered at all?
However, she maintained a good expression and asked with a respectful smile, “Sister Tao, may I ask what you want me to do for you?”
Tao Xin took out the list of spices that He Miao had listed from her pocket and pointed to the spices market not far away. “Buy the portions according to the amount written on it and bring them back to me. Then, you can go back.”
“Alright,” she said. Xu Ling did not complain at all. She glanced through the list and roughly remembered the spices in her heart. Then, she turned around and was about to leave.
Tao Xin suddenly called out to her from behind, worried. She raised her voice and warned her rudely, “You can’t let anyone else know about this. Otherwise, I’ll ask Brother Chen to demote you from the secretaries!”
“Yes.” Xu Ling’s expression was still polite and humble. It was not until she left the coffee shop that she rolled her eyes madly and mumbled in disdain, “How dare you ask me to work for you with such a matter-of-fact attitude? If I don’t set you up today, you won’t know how powerful I am!”
After making up her mind, Xu Ling walked into the spice market and found most of the spices according to the items on the list.
The reason why Tao Xin was like a headless fly, wandering around and not finding anything was that she did not know anything about spices, so she could not find all of them in a short time.
Thinking of this, Xu Ling’s eyes rolled and she suddenly found something unusual.
Tao Xin did not know how to choose the best spices at all. ‘How could Miss He not think of this? She even made such a long list at once. No matter how you look at it, she was deliberately making things difficult for you.
‘Or perhaps, Miss He was trying to achieve some other purpose and deliberately let Tao Xin kill time here.’
