Chapter 14 The Lunch Box is Gone



The principal's salary is so much higher than his, surely he wouldn't try to cheat him out of even this small amount of money for a boxed lunch?

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized that buying lunch boxes for the principal was a huge trap.

It seems I need to find a way to get Principal Zhang Weiguo to pay me back, preferably by being firm.

For example: Principal Zhang, you don't want others to know that you don't pay for your meals, do you?

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head and rejected the plan.

He wouldn't dare.

It seems we should be more tactful.

Amidst the surprised gazes of his three classmates, Tang Dahai ordered six boxed lunches.

Same as always, bring four portions for the principal.

Before long, he arrived at the principal's office.

Unlike before, he was now very familiar with the principal's office and no longer felt nervous about entering. He simply knocked on the door and went in.

"Principal Zhang, the boxed lunches have been purchased."

Principal Zhang Weiguo was overjoyed to see that Tang Dahai had finally managed to buy a boxed lunch today.

"You've really worked hard, Dahai." Zhang Weiguo's furrowed brows relaxed, and he nodded slightly to Tang Dahai.

"It's no trouble at all. I just happened to have some free time and went to buy it in advance," Tang Dahai said modestly.

Even if he was extremely dissatisfied, the person in front of him was, after all, the principal, his leader. Even if he had many complaints about him, he still had to be polite to him on the surface.

Looking at the four servings of beef stew with potatoes in front of him, Zhang Weiguo had long lost all interest in working.

That's right, he's preparing to cook again.

"Is there anything else? If not, you can go back now."

He started to tell them to leave.

After all, it's not appropriate to eat in front of subordinates.

At this moment, Tang Dahai hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up his courage and said, "Principal Zhang, I'm a little short on money lately, so I may not be able to buy that much next time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weiguo immediately understood what he meant.

Tang Dahai bought me meals for so many days, but I never gave him a single penny.

He knew about this, of course, but he didn't say it openly, so he could only owe it to him for now.

He can only blame his wife for being too strict; she makes him hand over his entire salary every month and only gives him 1,000 yuan for living expenses.

Normally, just filling up with gas or smoking a cigarette will basically wipe out the entire bill.

In addition, I ate all the boxed meals I bought during this period and never took them home, so I couldn't find any reason to ask for money.

You can't exactly say you've been eating takeout every day lately and that you owe over a thousand yuan.

If I said that out loud, wouldn't my wife beat me to death?

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

She stood up, patted Tang Dahai on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Dahai, you've really worked hard these past few days. I've remembered about the money. How about this, it's too much trouble to give it to you every time. I'll transfer it to you all at the end of the month."

Never mind, that's all I can say for now. I'll figure out how to make up for the money by the end of the month.

Zhang Weiguo could only tell himself this.

With Zhang Weiguo's promise, the gloomy clouds in Tang Dahai's heart finally dissipated.

“Principal Zhang, you’re too kind. That’s not what I meant. Money is a small matter.”

"Okay, it's settled then. You can go now, I still have work to do."

The implication is that you should leave now, I'm about to eat, and I feel bad eating with you here.

Having learned a great deal about Zhang Weiguo from his experience of buying meals over the past few days, Tang Dahai immediately made his retreat.

Zhang Weiguo, feeling smug, was left to enjoy a lavish meal in his office.

Of course, the main reason is that I myself am also about to burst.

He hadn't been able to properly eat this beef stew with potatoes for several days.

Because I bought some for my wife a few days ago, she got addicted to it too. I haven't been able to buy any for the past few days, and she's been nagging me a lot.

Now I can finally give a proper report.

The principal is one, and his wife is another; it's hard to imagine.

"Oh, what a tragedy."

He couldn't help but sigh.

However, when he returned to his electric scooter, he discovered that the two boxed meals that had been hanging in front of the electric stove had vanished.

They mysteriously disappeared into thin air.

They left absolutely no trace.

He searched the surrounding area several times, but still couldn't find any clues.

In other words, the two boxed lunches he bought for himself were stolen?
