There's no point in saying anything to someone so unreasonable; he's too lazy to even bother.
Feeling bored, Zhong Yujie had just stepped out of the project office when he bumped into his boss, General Manager Lu.
"Mr. Lu, I was just passing by."
President Lu stared at him, seemingly lost in thought, and suddenly raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Zhong, are you free? Could you do me a favor?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yujie replied obsequiously, "I'm free, I'm free, Mr. Lu, please speak."
"Go buy me two boxed lunches, the ten-yuan ones downstairs, and two king crabs."
Zhong Yujie: "......."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Although reluctant, I couldn't disobey President Lu's orders.
"Hurry up, or there won't be any left."
Zhong Yujie had no choice but to hurry. Time was short, and he didn't have time to ask someone to run errands, so he had no choice but to go by himself.
He had just said in front of so many people that the boxed lunch was cheap, and now he was being asked to buy it.
It would be so embarrassing if the project team saw us.
So, after Zhong Yujie went downstairs, he planned to buy from those who had already bought it, offering to pay double the price. However, no one was willing to pay.
Helpless, he had no choice but to wait in line.
"Isn't this Brother Zhong? Aren't you—"
One of the project team members who had just bought the boxed lunches spotted Zhong Yujie, who was acting suspiciously and trying to hide in the group.
Once recognized, Zhong Yujie stopped pretending and just confessed. After all, he bought it for President Lu, not for himself.
However, before he could even open his mouth, the man spoke again.
"Oh, I get it. Brother Zhong was also won over by this lunchbox. I understand. Let's go. Brother Zhong, you can take your time queuing."
He turned around, took a picture, and sent it to the group chat.
Look, who is this person?
[Zhong Yujie? Didn't he look down on this lunchbox? He just came to the project site and belittled us.]
[Disgusting, I still went and bought it myself.]
[...]
Zhong Yujie continued to line up, and he was the last one in the queue.
Finally, it was his turn.
"Sorry, we're out of boxed meals."
"What?!"
Shi Yi was speechless. She hadn't seen that there was another person, otherwise she could have secretly added two more portions. She didn't know where this person had come from, appearing so silently.
We can't just put two more boxed meals on an empty food stall now, can we?
That would be too risky, so she decided not to do this last deal.
"I waited in line for so long, and you're saying they're sold out?"
Zhong Yujie was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
Shi Yi also recognized the person.
It turns out to be that big client.
"I'm so sorry, we don't have any left," Shi Yi said regretfully.
"I've been so good to your business before, why didn't you save me two portions?"
Shi Yi said helplessly, "I already told you how much is left, didn't you hear me? Besides, all the customers in front of me want to buy, how can I keep it? And besides, I didn't even see you just now."
They were hiding so well in the back, not a single hair was showing.
The people who hadn't left also spoke up for her, "That's right, young man. The boss just said there were only a few left, but you didn't listen. You can't blame anyone else."
"If you're talking about supporting the business, I've bought quite a lot myself. I wouldn't dare ask the owner to save any for me; so many people are scrambling to buy, it would put the owner in a difficult position."
"It's your fault for being too late."
Just then, a few familiar faces arrived at the office building.
Zhong Yujie didn't bother arguing with them anymore and turned to walk in the other direction.
