Ye Xi had no choice but to say, "Oh, this is my... friend's child. His father had something come up and had to go on a business trip, so he asked me to help take care of him. I didn't expect the company to have work over the weekend. The child is too young, and I was worried it would be dangerous to leave him home alone, so I brought him along."
The supervisor, who had asked Ye Xi to come back to work overtime in the first place, naturally wouldn't neglect the child.
He said to Xiaozhou, who was sitting next to Ye Xi, "Xiaozhou, go get some snacks and toys for the child."
Xiaozhou, a recent university graduate, was full of youthful vigor and immediately got up, "Okay, Supervisor Bai, I'll take care of the little one."
Saying this, he returned to the office area, rummaged out all the snacks he usually ate, ordered bubble tea through a food delivery app, and while he was at it, got some coffees to reward his colleagues as well.
