Chapter 21: Jump Down From Here, And I Still Wouldn't Take A Bite

It was lunch time again, and Yun Na was already so excited that she couldn't help it; for the first time, she felt a sense of resistance toward the idea of working overtime.

Her gaze had already checked the time several times.

Her Light Brain had already pulled up the shop "Hot-and-Fresh Eatery," ready at any moment.

Ding—

Almost in an instant, the time to get off work and the sound of the Light Brain shop listing new goods rang out together.

She hadn't even clearly seen what the new dishes were before her hand had already clicked on them first.

Payment successful!

"Yes!"

Yun Na couldn't help but let out a small, happy shout; she really had to thank the company's network, it was truly too fast, she had snatched it up in one go!

"Yun Na, what's the matter, why are you so happy?"

She was happy, but there was always someone who wasn't; sure enough, as soon as Jin Linlin heard the commotion from her side, she couldn't wait to ask.

Yesterday, she had been incredibly showy and had stolen all of her thunder.

When others asked her, she had acted all secretive and evasive.

Today, she had made full preparations.

This was the latest Nutrient Solution she had spent a large sum of money to have someone purchase for her.

It was certainly not something that could be compared to those things made by just casually adding some spices.

Although she didn't want to admit that the fragrance was indeed more alluring than anything she had ever smelled before.

(PS: Yun Na really didn't want to tell others; the shop only listed about twenty portions of Boxed Meal, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to snatch one herself!)

If she told others, there were dozens of people in the office alone.

Wouldn't that be invisibly adding many strong rivals for herself?

She wasn't stupid.

If there was something good, naturally one should enjoy it quietly all by oneself! But today she was in a good mood, so naturally, she had to show off properly to Jin Linlin.

She immediately took out the Boxed Meal she had snatched from her Light Brain.

Here it came again, here it came again, that familiar fragrance, that familiar white box.

She was actually eating this again today.

Jin Linlin was even a bit envious, and her saliva was secreting automatically.

"It's just some off-brand thing bought from who knows where; you even dare to put it in your mouth, aren't you afraid of eating something that will make you sick."

A wave of sourness was about to overwhelm the office.

"But, it's delicious!"

Jin Linlin rolled her eyes dramatically and gave a heavy, dismissive "tch" inside.

She gave herself a strong psychological suggestion.

It was just an off-brand item, something that couldn't be brought out into polite society.

She took out a pink Nutrient Solution vial on her own; it seemed to be inlaid with diamond-like minerals, very sparkling.

"This one of mine is the latest model from UN; it contains substances extracted from ancient rose plants, it's fragrant and delicious, and the feeling of fullness lasts for fifteen days! This is a series exclusively for the A Galaxy Royal Family!"

Of course, the price was also very "beautiful."

Jin Linlin didn't say that this had cost her nearly half a year's salary!

In order to outdo Yun Na, she had really spent a fortune.

After all that nagging, Yun Na hadn't heard a word of what she was rambling about; her entire focus was on the Boxed Meal in her hands.

It wasn't just her; the vast majority of colleagues in the office hadn't paid attention to what she was saying either.

Because Yun Na had already opened the lunch box in her hands.

Instantly, that fragrance of the meal drifted out, making people feel relaxed and happy, spirited, and their stomachs rumbled.

"Wow, Yun Na, you're eating this again today, it smells so good!"

"Oh my god, this must be very expensive, right? It doesn't smell like something simple!"

"So envious, it seems different from yesterday too~"

"Yeah, yeah, Yun Na, how are you so amazing that you can buy such good things?"

"What does it taste like? Is there a difference between the taste and the smell?"

"You might as well ask if you can have a taste too, haha."

"Can I? Hehehe..."

Ever since they smelled the fragrance of the meal Yun Na was eating yesterday, almost everyone felt like their hearts were being clawed at.

Even in their dreams, they were thinking about what that taste was like.

Consequently, more people came up to talk to Yun Na today.

Their eyeballs were practically falling into the lunch box.

Watching everyone surround her, that fawning and flattering attitude almost drove Jin Linlin mad with jealousy.

"Pah, a bunch of tasteless fellows!"

Daring only to curse in a low voice, she stopped looking at this scene, took her high-end Nutrient Solution, and went to the pantry to show off to others.

It really was strange; where on earth did Yun Na buy these things, how could they be so fragrant?

So fragrant that even her own stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Gritting her teeth, she opened the Nutrient Solution and gulped down a large mouthful.

And then... it was gone...

Jin Linlin angrily slammed the packaging bag onto the table.

What a rip-off, it's so expensive and yet it's only one mouthful.

She stroked her stomach with her palm.

Why does it feel like I'm still not full?

She couldn't help but sniff the faint, lingering aroma of food in the air; honestly, she really wanted to take a bite...

"Linlin, so you're here, drinking Nutrient Solution!"

The person who arrived was an older woman from the floor below who was on relatively good terms with her, and she could usually catch a look of envy in her eyes.

This satisfied her vanity to a great extent.

Suddenly, she was in the mood again, and the packaging bag under her hand didn't seem so annoying anymore.

The person she could show off to had arrived.

"Yeah, this is the limited-edition high-grade Nutrient Solution I just bought; this one is exclusively for the Royal Family~"

"Linlin, you're so amazing!" She said flattering words, but she didn't see the same look of envy in her eyes as usual.

Had this older woman's hearing gone bad?

Did she not hear what she said?

"I said this one is exclusively for the Royal Family!"

The older woman let out an "ah," "I know, didn't you just say that?"

Angry, why was everything going against her today?

"Well, Linlin, do you know where that Yun Na in your office bought what she's eating? It smells so good!"

Yun Na, Yun Na, it's always Yun Na!

"Is that why you came to find me, just to talk about this?"

The older woman was stunned upon hearing this, wearing an expression that said, 'What else would it be?'

"I see you two talking together often, so I felt your relationship must be pretty good, which is why I came to ask you; do you know?"

"I don't know. That kind of lowly stuff—I, Jin Linlin, wouldn't eat a single bite even if I jumped from here, so don't ask me!"

She stood up and stormed out of the pantry, not wanting to stay for even one more second.

Jin Linlin felt that these past two days were her days of bad luck, and seeing Yun Na's desk still surrounded by people from outside the door made her feel even more displeased.

Her gaze fell on the private elevator for the Presidential Office not far away, and suddenly, an idea formed in her mind!

Yun Na, you just wait for me; you won't be able to be smug for much longer!
