Chapter 91: Jump Down From Here, 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 goods being stocked on the Light Brain shop rang out together.
She didn't even see 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 just too fast, she had snatched it up in a flash!
"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 flashy and had stolen all the limelight.
When others asked her, she had acted all secretive.
Today, she had come fully prepared.
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 casually made with a bit of spice.
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 stocked 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 a lot of strong competitors 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 the Boxed Meal she had snatched out of 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 a little envious, and her mouth was already watering 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 getting 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 in public.
She took out a pink Nutrient Solution vial on her own; it seemed to be inlaid with diamond-like minerals, very dazzling.
"This of mine is the latest model from UN; it contains substances extracted from ancient roses, it's fragrant and delicious, and the feeling of fullness lasts for fifteen days. This is an exclusive series 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 outshine Yun Na, she had really gone all out.
After all that blathering, Yun Na hadn't heard a word of what she was rambling about; all her 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 hand.
Instantly, the fragrance of the food wafted out, refreshing and invigorating, making everyone's stomachs rumble.
"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, being able to buy such good things?"
"What does it taste like? Is there a difference between the taste and the smell?"
"You might as well just ask if you can have a bite, haha."
"Can I? Hehehe..."
Ever since they smelled the fragrance of the food Yun Na ate yesterday, almost everyone had felt that heart-wrenching craving.
Even in their dreams, they were thinking about what that flavor tasted 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 the 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 growling with hunger.
Gritting her teeth, she opened the Nutrient Solution and gulped down a large mouthful.
And then... that was it...
Jin Linlin angrily slammed the packaging bag onto the table.
What a rip-off, it's so expensive and yet there's only one bite.
She smoothed her palm over her stomach.
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, eating Nutrient Solution!"
The person who arrived was an older sister from the floor below who was usually on fairly good terms with her, and she could always harvest looks of envy from her eyes.
This satisfied her vanity to a great extent.
In an instant, she was in the mood again, and the packaging bag under her hand no longer felt annoying.
The person who could let her show off 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 complimentary words, but Jin Linlin did not see the same look of envy in her eyes as usual.
Had this older sister's hearing gone bad?
Did she not hear what she said?
"I said this one is exclusively for the Royal Family!"
The older sister said "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 way too good!"
Yun Na, Yun Na, it's always Yun Na!
"Did you come looking for me just to talk about this?"
The older sister 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 should be pretty good, which is why I came to ask you; do you know?"
"I don't know; that kind of lowly stuff, even if I, Jin Linlin, jumped from here, I wouldn't eat a single bite of it, don't ask me!"
She stood up and stormed out of the tea room, not wanting to stay for even one more second.
Jin Linlin felt that these past two days were her retrograde days, 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 exclusive elevator for the Presidential Office not far away, and suddenly, an idea formed in her heart!
Yun Na, you just wait for me, you won't be able to be smug for much longer!
