Xu Lin climbed to the 24th floor and scanned the space with a powerful flashlight. The decor was nice and had a high-tech feel. Half of the floor was the office of the flamboyant boss, and the other half was the creative department.
Xu Lin went to the boss's office first. The door still had a combination lock, but that didn't stump Xu Lin. She used her universal lock-picking device. Every time she used this, Xu Lin had to thank 801.
Upon entering, there is a reception area with a genuine leather sofa that looks quite expensive. Considering there is still plenty of space, Xu Lin simply put the sofa away so she could keep it at her own home later.
There was an indoor golf course nearby, which the owner seemed to play often. This was the elegant entertainment of the wealthy. Xu Lin bought the four golf clubs that looked quite valuable.
Further inside the reception area is the office area, featuring a huge, high-tech desk. Unfortunately, there's no electricity right now, so it can't be used.
Xu Lin opened each of the desk drawers one by one. The first drawer contained various health supplements, which were probably what the flamboyant boss usually took. She took them.
The second shelf contained a Patek Philippe men's watch, a pearl necklace (the style looked rather old-fashioned, probably a gift for an elder), and a fountain pen. A fountain pen placed alongside a Patek Philippe must be something expensive; I had to keep it.
After collecting the items, Xu Lin noticed the car purchase contract below. It was for a motorhome ordered by the flamboyant boss on August 15th, with a pickup date of the 25th at the car dealership. Xu Lin thought to herself, "I'll pick it up for you another day."
The third layer is... a drawer full of snacks, including various series of Weilong snacks, corn sausages, dried jackfruit, Xiaodangjia crispy noodles, and other nostalgic snacks for those born in the 80s and 90s.
I never expected that this boss, despite his flamboyant appearance, would have such a childlike heart.
There's a world-famous painting on the wall to the left of my desk. I don't know if it's real or not, but I'll keep it for now. If I don't need the space, I can use it to start a fire in extreme cold.
Below the painting is a storage cabinet containing five boxes of cigars, about ten cartons of high-end cigarettes, four or five boxes of tea, two tea sets, and several high-quality handmade mugs.
Xu Lin had bought several cases of cigarettes beforehand, all cheap ones, thinking she would use them to exchange for supplies in the apocalypse. She was already grateful to have cigarettes to smoke, so what more could she ask for?
The entire right wall is covered with books. I wonder where they read them. Nouveau riche like to buy books to pretend to be cultured. They don't have time to read them, so they just put the bookshelves in the space.
Behind the boss's chair was a shelf, not filled with antique vases, but with Lego sets—some assembled, some unopened. You could take some home to kill time. This boss must be spending all his time building blocks instead of working; the company's performance must be terrible.
There was also a hidden door in the office, presumably a lounge. Pushing the door open, it was truly a hidden world. Xu Lin had only ever read about CEOs' lounges in novels before; seeing it in person was nothing special—just an ordinary room, a bit bigger than her own bedroom.
However, after Xu Lin put the painting on the wall of the lounge back into the space, revealing three safes, Xu Lin regretted it. This was not an ordinary bedroom; who would put three safes in a bedroom?
To save time, they first put the safe away, then ransacked the dressing room in the lounge, taking nothing but watches, cufflinks, earrings, and rings.
After leaving the boss's office, Xu Lin went to the creative department's break room. As expected of the company's most profitable department, the break room was equipped with top-of-the-line features, even the refrigerators were from a rechargeable international brand.
I opened the refrigerator and saw it was full of fresh fruit. I closed the door and took the whole refrigerator away.
