Chapter 2688: Chapter 2688: His Silent Guardianship (11

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table stood up and looked towards the restaurant’s hall.

As they glanced over, Dan Tingye, as if sensing something, suddenly turned around, looked past the crowd, and spotted Meimei standing next to the table at a glance.

"President, more and more people are gathering. Should we find another place to dine?" The secretary, who had been following him closely, watched the crowd gathering around Dan Tingye, and tried anxiously to remind him.

Dan Tingye’s eyes flickered, and his thin lips parted slightly.

"You should go eat as well. No need to follow me."

"President..."

The secretary raised her head, only to see Dan Tingye already stepping towards the nearby employee table.

His strides were quick, yet his demeanor remained composed; despite his hurried movement, he carried an air of nobility that even the employees surrounding him instinctively made way for him to walk smoothly towards Meimei.

"Yu Xin, why do I feel like the president is looking at you?" Beside her, Fang tugged at the stunned Meimei, asking in surprise.

"I think it’s more than just looking. The president is clearly walking towards our table," Li couldn’t help but comment, and the other people at the table nodded in agreement.

"..."

Hearing the continuous murmurs around her, Meimei slowly snapped out of her surprise upon seeing Dan Tingye. Watching him just less than fifty meters away, her body instantly froze.

She wanted to step forward and greet him, but she couldn’t.

If she spoke up, everyone might consider her to be a privileged insider, making it impossible for her to remain in the planning department.

But thinking about the porridge from this morning, she felt she should thank Tingye, and after all, he was walking in her direction. If he started talking to her, should she pretend not to know him the whole time?

Wouldn’t Tingye be upset?

Amidst her speculations and nervousness, Dan Tingye suddenly turned slightly when he was just a dozen meters from her and walked towards an empty seat at the neighboring table.

He nonchalantly walked over and sat down.

The restaurant immediately fell silent; even the murmurs disappeared, leaving only countless curious and admiring gazes, all secretly observing his charming face.

"President, here’s your meal." The secretary appeared just in time, carrying a lunch, and placed it respectfully in front of Dan Tingye.

"I ordered it according to the president’s usual taste. If you don’t like it, I’ll change it for you."

"No need to fuss. It’s break time now; why don’t you grab a meal and sit down to eat as well?" Dan Tingye took the tray, looked at the ordinary dishes inside without even a frown, picked up the chopsticks, and took a bite before speaking.

"..."

The secretary watched him, ensuring he was indeed not upset, then turned to get her meal.

But when she returned with her tray, she stopped again.

This was the president, after all. Despite his youth, his abilities were extraordinary, and he was a prodigy. Just the sight of him eating alone emitted a nobility that deterred irreverence from others.

Seeing the envious looks around her, the secretary swallowed hard, then took her tray and sat in the only empty seat at Meimei’s table.

"Sorry, I saw this seat was available, so I just sat down. Hope I’m not interrupting?"
