Elaine finally found what she loved to eat, haha, mala soup! It was cheap, delicious, and nutritious.
Think about it, there are noodles and many vegetables inside, and when you mixed it together, it’s only
a few dollars.
“Boss, give me a Mala Soup!” Elaine rubbed her hands and sat happily on the small stool along the
street alley. The short table and stool were suitable for little girls like Elaine. There were working men
and women beside her eating, of course, there were also students like Elaine.
Elaine was at ease, she realized that such an environment suited her more. What kind of grass should
grow on what type of soil. When you walked into the lobby, a big company like Tianyi Group, even the
sound of the high heels clicking is like mocking herself.
The hot mala soup was brought to the table, and Elaine waved her chopsticks and ate happily. “Wow,
smells nice! Yup, the taste is good! It will be better if it’s spicier… A little spicier… Awesome!”
Elaine, who was eating the mala Soup, and also bought a bottle of Miranda, was elated. As she was
having a great time, a clean and handsome guy who bought water from the streets looked at Elaine
and said, “Eh? Aren’t you, Elaine Jones?”
Elaine heard the voice and raised her head, stunned with her eyes widened. In a second, her face was
as red as ketchup. Oh gosh! It’s the senior she has a crush on!!! Aye, what should she do? Was she
horrid now? Eating Mala soup… Does the corner of her mouth have chili? Puffed! Elaine stood up in a
panic and wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand.
“Uh, it’s me… Hello senior… What a coincidence, that senior you’re also shopping on the street. Eh,
senior, how did you know my name?”
Wah, her senior remembered her name! The senior actually knew her name! Does this mean… hehe…
Without waiting for Elaine’s fantasy to end, the senior interrupted her thoughts.
“Oh, I’m accompanying my girlfriend to shop, buy some books. When you just attended high school, I
already remembered you because your name is very special, haha, so I remembered it.”
Girlfriend? The senior has a girlfriend? Ah, senior, why didn’t you wait for me? I’m still dedicated to you!
Elaine’s face couldn’t help but spasm. A girl with long flowing hair appeared behind the senior, proper,
generous, elegant. She nodded towards Elaine with a smile, “Hello, junior.”
“Hel, Hello…”
The senior’s girlfriend… was so beautiful! She just couldn’t be compared to her…
“Elaine, we will make a move first, we’ll shop ahead, you can continue to eat, bye.” The senior waved
at Elaine naturally, and at the same time, held his girlfriend’s hand intimately, and left.
Elaine stood there blankly, watching the two of them leave, after a while, she mumbled, “Good,
goodbye…”
Her heart broke. Elaine held on to her broken heart and sat down. It was hard to swallow when she ate
again. Pit-pat… A drop of tear fell to the table uncontrollably. She snorted, and more tears came out.
Her heart was aching. The senior that she has a crush on for so long has a girlfriend just like that.
What’s the point of living then? She has lost her motivation to strive!
Elaine was crying and had her face buried in the mala soup, the boss went over and said, “Young lady,
is it too spicy? Our spice is of high-quality, here, tissue for you. Wipe it.”
People thought she was crying because it was too spicy. Elaine took the tissue and wiped all over her
face. Humph, she doesn’t want to think about the issue with the senior, she doesn’t want to think about
it now! She wanted to eat! Eat crazily! When she ate furiously, she wouldn’t think of the senior
anymore.
Gulping… Elaine started eating the mala soup with no resistance.

Oliver discovered that ever since someone hung up on Emmett, he had not been in a good condition.
He wasn’t interested in eating. Even talking to him, he wasn’t interested. His eyes were lowered and
kept spinning his mobile. Frowning and had a look of irritability.
“Aye, forget it, although I’m a handsome guy, I’m not your kind of dish. You’re probably bored of me,
let’s end the meal here. Hurry, go, and resolve your worries. I wanted to ask you for ways to win over
an innocent girl, but I ended up seeing your bitter face for a while.”
Emmett didn’t say much, nodded, and stood up to foot the bill. When the two of them reached the hotel
entrance, the server handed Emmett a stack of well-packed food boxes and said, “Mr. Smith, this is the
food you’ve asked to pack, it’s all just out of the wok, still hot.”
“Ok.”
“We are looking forward to your next visit!”
Emmett took the boxes and left, Oliver followed in a few steps and grabbed him, “Hey! Not right, who
did you pack the food for?”
Emmett had a cold face and glanced at his friend, “For you, you want?”
Subconsciously, Oliver shook his head.
“That it. If you don’t want, then don’t care who it is for.”
“Ha! Emmett! This is your first-time packing food for someone!”
Oliver spun his car key and laughed. Emmett turned his back to Oliver and bit his lip. He got into his car
directly without saying a word. In front of his good friend… It was indeed a little embarrassing.
Oliver looked at the shadow of Emmett’s car and couldn’t help but grinned.
Emmett thought of Elaine and drove impatiently. He ran over two red lights consecutively. He walked
into the office lobby, and just as he was about to take the elevator up, Sophia, who just had her meal
walked over.
“President Smith.”
Emmett, who doesn’t speak much to his subordinates, always had a sense of aloofness. He didn’t even
look at Sophia and just looked at the numbers on the elevator coldly.
Sophia couldn’t help but said, “President Smith, Elaine went out for lunch, I wanted to treat her, but she
rejected.”
“Oh?” That sentence finally caught Emmett’s attention. This was his first-time seeing Sophia’s face, but
his mind was turning fast, “Went out to eat?” He suddenly had the desire to smash the packed food in
his hands.
“Yes.” Sophia courageously said, “She felt that the western restaurant’s food was too expensive, so she
went to the streets.”
Emmett immediately frowned. This little girl!!! She actually went to the streets to eat those unhygienic
foods? How much can a meal cost that she actually tried to save to this extend! People like Emmett
would never understand how people, who were at the bottom of life, lived.
The elevator door opened, Emmett didn’t even take the lift and immediately turned and walked out.
Sophia’s mouth widened and looked at Emmett, who left like a hurricane, in surprise. No way? It
couldn’t be that President Smith went to look for Elaine? This ridiculous idea was firmly shaken away
by her brain. Maybe she watched too many soap operas…
Emmet took the packed food and strode on the streets. At noon, the roads were a bit hot, the sun was
burning the skin. This little girl was running on the street just like that? When he was about to walk to
the end of the street, Emmett finally saw Elaine seated on the stool and eating enthusiastically.
The moment he saw her, his heart was relieved involuntarily. So, he has been worried about this little
girl all the while? Emmett was like a wild cheetah, approaching her silently.
Gulping… The sound of Elaine eating was very loud, just like a little pig. Working hard and not
bothered about the world.
Emmett coughed twice.
Gulping, gulping… Elaine continued eating. Emmett gritted his teeth and looked around, he was mad,
but he could only bend his waist and used his fingers to poke Elaine’s body. This little girl was really
like a real block of wood.
With a heroic spirit and extremely handsome man like Emmett was standing there, with luxurious
clothing and shiny shoes, he suddenly caught everyone’s attention in the alley. Of course, everyone
saw him as someone who was there to film a movie. Standing there, he was definitely standing out
from the crowd. Him as a whole and the environment of the alley did not match at all!
Elaine slowly raised her head with hindsight, the corner of her mouth was covered with chili sauce, she
looked at the tall Emmett blankly for a few seconds before an ‘ah!’ came out. Her eyes suddenly
enlarged.
Swallowing the rice in her mouth, “Pres, President Smith?”
Did she see things? She actually managed to meet Emmett in this run-down alley while eating Mala
soup? At this moment, Elaine could only use one phrase to describe herself: King of unluckiness!
When Emmett saw Elaine’s face, he was also shocked! It wasn’t because of how dirty her face was or
how messy her face was after eating, but… It was her face full of tears! Her tears surprised Emmett! At
that moment, his heart actually hurt so much!
“What happened to you?” It was obviously a sentence with concern, but when it came out from
Emmett’s mouth, it became an interrogation, a domineering questioning.
“I, I’m fine… I’m eating…” Elaine blinked her eyes, still nestled on the stool and holding up the
disposable chopstick.
Looking at Emmett’s serious and handsome face, she immediately reacted.
