The general manager saw Gu Yizhi from a distance, smiled and waved.When he approached, he pointed curiously at the exquisite food box in Gu Yizhi's hand, "What are you?"

Gu Yizhi blinked, "Secret."

Yongcang Shinpachi looked at Gu Yizhi speechlessly, and complained in a low voice: "Childish." After speaking, he quickly followed Saitoichi and Kondo Isamu who were in front of him.

Gu Yizhi smiled, walked behind Yongcang Shinpachi, and quietly made a face.

The chief executive and Gu Yizhi took Isamu Kondo and the others to the river where they often went.

"Would it be better to drink here?" Gu Yizhi asked strangely.

The general manager nodded, "Isn't it refreshing to enjoy the beautiful capital while drinking wine?"

Gu Yizhi looked at the clear river, smiled and nodded.

After a while, the general manager took out a small bottle of sake, poured it into small cups, and distributed it to several people.

"...Well, it doesn't matter if I drink some wine at this time?" The chief executive asked with a smile.

Isamu Kondo nodded, and then warned the general manager, "But don't drink too much!"

"Okay, okay." The chief executive quickly agreed with a smile.

And Gu Yizhi also took out the candied haws.

A few people seem to have never seen it before, and they are all a little curious.

"What is this? Maruko?" Kondo Isamu wanted to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Gu Yizhi.

"Hey, this is for food, it's a bit sticky..." As he spoke, he poked one with a bamboo stick, "Would you like to try it?"

"Is this... edible?" Yongcang Shinpachi was a little skeptical.

"Of course." Gu Yizhi was about to put the candied haws in his mouth when he was snatched away by the chief executive.

The chief executive took a bite, and his face wrinkled into a bun, "Sour..."

Gu Yizhi was a little amused, "Well, you've won the lottery? I remember that it wasn't sour when I tried it today. Speaking of which, you can't eat sour ones?"

So the general manager fed the remaining half of candied haws into Gu Yizhi's mouth without saying a word.

Gu Yizhi: "..." With a sly smile, "It's not bad, it's quite sweet."

Several other people couldn't help but watched the interaction between the two, but didn't say anything.

"Aren't you going to try?" Gu Yizhi inserted another one.

However, none of the other people planned to eat, and they all silently picked up their wine glasses, saying that it is good to drink by themselves.

Gu Yizhi sighed, "Really don't want it? Well, it's a pity..." As he said that, he wanted to cover the food box.

The general manager snatched the food box, then poked a candied haws into his mouth, "What a pity, I'll eat it."

"Hey, don't force yourself if you don't want to eat or can't eat." Gu Yizhi felt helpless looking at the general manager's appearance.

However, the general manager ignored him and insisted on eating the candied haws made by Gu Yizhi.

Several people were silent again, sitting for a while with their own thoughts.

Gu Yizhi thought for a while, "Is there any paper?"

He was just asking casually, but how did he know that the chief executive actually smiled and handed him a stack of red paper.

So Gu Yizhi took it in a pleasant surprise, folded a small boat, handed it to the general manager and said, "Hey, make a wish, maybe it will come true."

Then he folded a flower deftly and came out.Kondo Yong and the others looked a little curious, so Gu Yizhi taught them how to fold flowers.

After the few people made their wish, Gu Yizhi vaguely heard Yongcang Shinpachi muttering "Why have you become so childish" or something.But even though he said that, he still put the paper flower into the water like Gu Yizhi and made a wish along the way.

Seeing Gu Yizhi's pious face, the director asked curiously, "Hey, what did you promise?"

"Really want to know that much?" Gu Yizhi asked, the director nodded honestly, and Gu Yizhi smiled slyly, "...Secret."

Then he prolonged his tone and said solemnly: "And the wish...it won't come true if you say it."

"Okay." So the director stopped asking.Although he is still very curious.

Gu Yizhi smiled, and said silently in his heart:

——My wish is, Chief Secretary, that you can live happily ever after.
