"He suddenly went through such a big ordeal; it's understandable that he forgot this detail," I spoke up for Wei Yao.
Chen Decheng nodded, showing understanding, then said to me, "You must have just come back from there by car, right?"
"Yeah, it exhausted me, boss. I'm begging for some time off," I joked with my boss.
Actually, my nature is that I can't sit still even for a moment; I really had no intention of taking a holiday to rest.
Yet Chen Decheng took it seriously and nodded deeply, "I was just about to talk about this. I'll give you a couple of days off. You don't have to do anything in a while; I'll cook something tasty for you personally."
"Thanks, boss, I'm in for a treat," I teased.
In the past, it was always a staff meal, so my mom was never called.
My mom has her own staff meals at the supermarket.
This time, Chen Decheng prepared a table just for me.
We called my mom and a few others to come join us and enjoyed a meal together.
After closing for the night.
