Fang Ya watched the interaction between the boss and Lin Xiang with interest.

The boss turned to look at Fang Ya in the next moment.

He looked Fang Ya up and down before asking, “What do you want to eat? Don’t be like this kid!”

Fang Ya pursed her lips and smiled, “Boss, cancel the rice and pickles. Give us two of your signature dishes!”

The boss looked at Fang Ya in surprise and then asked Lin Xiang, “You’ve hooked up with a rich woman?”

Lin Xiang was even more embarrassed. He waved his hand desperately and said, “No! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Fang Ya said to the boss, “This is the technical talent that I invited. I should pay for him to eat!”

“Technical talent?” The boss heard that and turned to look at Lin Xiang from head to toe. Then he shook his head and said, “Doesn’t look like it!”

Fang Ya knew that the boss and Lin Xiang should be very familiar with each other. They may seem rude to one another, but this was only due to a certain level of familiarity.

The boss did not stay long. After confirming the menu with Fang Ya, he went back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Fang Ya looked around and looked at the not-so-spacious restaurant. She smiled and said, “Do you come here often?”

“Almost every day,” Lin Xiang said sincerely.

“No wonder you didn’t say a word when I walked here.” Fang Ya smiled and shook her head. “So you’re even more familiar with this place than I am.”

Lin Xiang chuckled and said, “I heard that the dishes here are quite good. There are many customers every day.”

“Heard?” Fang Ya heard the deeper meaning in Lin Xiang’s words and asked curiously.

Lin Xiang nodded honestly, “No money, no food. Occasionally, the boss will leave some leftovers for me.”

“But they are all mixed dishes, so I never get to taste any of the genuine article,” Lin Xiang said helplessly.

“Then what about the rice and pickles that the boss mentioned just now?” Fang Ya looked at Lin Xiang seriously.

“It was originally a one-time payment, but now it’s almost on credit.” Lin Xiang sighed, “The boss is kind-hearted, so he won’t ask me for this money.”

“I’m embarrassed to always come to the boss to ask for food. I’m so hungry that I came here.” Lin Xiang said, his hands a little stiff.

Fang Ya did not expect Lin Xiang’s situation to be so miserable. She could not help but ask in shock, “Then how do you live? You have not sold anything for a long time, right?”

Lin Xiang showed an even more awkward smile, “Most of the money from selling the software is used to pay the rent and update the equipment. How can I have money to eat?”

“I get that passion runs deep in you, but you can’t neglect food and health!” Fang Ya could not help but sigh when she thought of how Lin Xiang lived in his office.

Lin Xiang waved his hand and smiled. “I’m still young. I can hold on!”

Fang Ya shook her head disapprovingly. “Is that office of yours rented?”

Lin Xiang nodded. “Yes! The food and accommodation are all there. It’s a hundred yuan a month.”

Fang Ya thought for a moment, then said, “I can provide you with a place and an office for free, but you have to be responsible for cleaning my compound and looking at the house. Is that okay?”

Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya in shock and blinked his eyes desperately to confirm it, “Really?”

Fang Ya nodded and said, “I have an old house that is empty now.”

“I use that place as a temporary office space. Usually, no one will be there.” Fang Ya told Lin Xiang the general situation of the old house.

“You can stay there for now.” Fang Ya continued, “If we are heading there, we will inform you in advance.”

Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya gratefully and put his palms together, “If that’s really possible, that would be great!”

“You can come anytime! There’s no need to let me know in advance! I’ll take care of the place!” Lin Xiang gave her his word.

Fang Ya smiled again, “Then I’ll bring you to take a look after dinner. If it’s possible, you can move over today!”

Lin Xiang nodded desperately, and the look he gave Fang Ya instantly turned into admiration.
