Chapter 176 Brown Sugar Water



How did this guy know she wanted coffee?

Suddenly, Jiang Yimei realized that Lin Congzhi was indeed a meticulous person, and that he would persevere in doing something and would not give up until he achieved his goal.

The company provides coffee, and she had no intention of accepting Lin Congzhi's favor, so she coldly said, "You should enjoy it yourself."

Seemingly anticipating her response, Lin Congzhi calmly reminded her, his tone meaningful: "The company is out of coffee beans, so..."

"How could that be? Isn't it always on hand?"

Jiang Yimei found it hard to believe.

Lin Congzhi raised a slight smirk: "Don't believe me? You can go and see for yourself."

Jiang Yimei refused to believe it and immediately went outside.

When she arrived at the break room, she discovered that there really were no coffee beans left. Now, even getting a cup of coffee to perk her up would be difficult.

What a coincidence! Lin Congzhi ordered coffee, and then the company ran out of coffee beans.

She felt there was more to the story and needed to investigate.

Stepping out of the break room and observing the employees' cups, she noticed that all of them were filled with tea, not coffee.

However, she vaguely noticed a drop of grayish-brown liquid, resembling coffee, next to an employee's cup. She immediately went over and asked, "Did you drink coffee just now?"

The employee, who was working, was startled when President Jiang suddenly appeared behind him, causing him to tremble all over.

He did it so perfectly, how did President Jiang see through the flaw?

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a drop of coffee next to the cup.

The net of Heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. Why was he so careless?

This startled reaction made Jiang Yimei even more suspicious, and she pressed on, "Answer my question quickly."

Secretary Lin instructed them to keep this from President Jiang, as he dared not set a precedent. He then forced himself to remain calm and said, "No!"

"No? Then what is this drop of water?" Jiang Yimei asked, pointing to the grayish-brown drop of water next to the employee's cup.

Without hesitation, the employee blurted out three words: "Brown sugar water!"

He was a married man who often made brown sugar water for his wife, and knew that the color of brown sugar water was not much different from that of coffee.

Jiang Yimei found it unbelievable: "Brown sugar water? Why would a grown man like you drink brown sugar water?"

"I've been feeling anemic lately and need to replenish my blood," the employee replied without batting an eye.

Jiang Yimei was speechless; she had finally witnessed what it meant to have a face as thick as steel.

Nevertheless, she wanted to ask one more question: "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Why would I lie to you? You can check it yourself if you don't believe me!

Jiang Yimei really wanted to stick out her finger, dip it in, and taste it, but the thought of that scene made her feel a little nauseous. What if it really wasn't coffee?

The lack of coffee beans is now a fact, and whether it's Lin Congzhi's conspiracy or simply the truth, she only has two paths before her.

She either orders her own coffee or drinks Lin Congzhi's coffee.

She ordered coffee, but it would take a long time to arrive. Fearing she wouldn't make it that far, she decided to drink Lin Congzhi's coffee instead.

Lin Congzhi really wanted to give her gifts, so she would eat him out of house and home until he dared not give her any more.

With a livid face, she left the staff office area and went straight into the president's office.

Watching her walk away with a stern face, the company employees all breathed a sigh of relief, especially the employee who had given herself away.

Just now, he was really afraid that Jiang Yimei would reach out and try it. Fortunately, he won the gamble, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
