Chapter 92: Caught?

"President, hello, I am an employee on the forty-sixth floor. I am reporting that someone is eating food with a pungent odor in the office, causing employees to be unable to focus on their work and greatly affecting employee work efficiency. I hope this can be taken seriously and this bad atmosphere can be rectified."

Normally, such employee matters should be reported to a supervisor and handled by the leaders of each floor or that department.

It should not be reported over the heads of management to the President.

However, it is not as if such situations do not occur, specifically when the department leader does nothing about it.

Of course, the President would not see such emails personally; they are all sent to the secretary's inbox.

It just so happens that today, the President is coming to their floor to listen to a project report.

It is best if things are blown out of proportion.

It would be best to have that bitch Yun Na fired immediately!

But plans can never keep up with changes.

In the elevator, Huo Junze heard his usually rigorous secretary unable to hold back a laugh behind him.

Turning his head to look, he only furrowed his brows slightly, and the person behind him immediately explained.

"Boss, just received a report email. An employee on the forty-sixth floor is reporting that someone is eating food with a pungent odor in the office."

Before the rest of the words were spoken, Huo Junze's eyes were also tinged with a few traces of amusement.

It is no wonder the secretary laughed out loud; the reason was that a certain department director previously spent half a month of continuous overtime finally securing a very difficult project.

When the bonus was issued, they wanted to reward themselves with something good to eat!

Dirty little pearls; after eating them, they gained skin like black pearls for over half a year, and there is still a corner of the office with marks left by the smoke.

The employees on the whole floor were more or less stained with some color.

Thinking of that scene, which looked like it had been bombarded by artillery shells, even a man who usually kept his emotions hidden could not help but react.

Receiving such a complaint, it was only natural to assume it was just another department director messing around.

Although someone's attitude toward work is always very serious, it is break time now, and naturally, they want to go see the funny story.

To add a little fun to high-pressure work.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

Gossip is human nature; no one can escape it.

With a ding, the elevator arrived at the forty-sixth floor in a flash, and the two stepped out with the mindset of watching the spectacle.

The moment the automatic door opened, the two who had intended to watch a joke were fiercely struck by a burst of fragrance, their souls seemingly trembling.

This smell is indeed pungent!

At this moment, Yun Na and everyone at their seats had not yet realized that the President had arrived on their office floor.

One by one, they watched Yun Na finish her Boxed Meal, still wanting more.

Being watched while eating—although she only cared about the delicious food while eating—was still very awkward after finishing.

Forced by the pressure of everyone's gazes, she still compromised.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you where I bought it."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were shining, as if they had entered a den of hungry wolves.

Opening her Light Brain, just as she intended to project the shop, no one knew who shouted "President Huo, hello" first, and everyone's nerves tightened all at once.

They turned their heads toward the doorway in unison.

Silence, deathly silence.

Who could tell them why President Huo would come to their office!?

Hidden in a corner, Jin Linlin revealed a triumphant smile on her face.

She had thought it would be a punishment from above for Yun Na, but it turned out she was caught personally by President Huo.

Don't look at the big boss as handsome, capable, and wealthy; he is the object that countless single female colleagues want to marry.

However, he is a man with a fearsome reputation.

He is strict with official business, especially toward those employees who neglect their duties; the punishments are also exceptionally severe. Those female colleagues who tried to use official business to get closer to him were all fired and not rehired.

Huo Group, a company that covers almost half of the Interstellar industries; as long as he says not to hire someone.

Then that person basically cannot find a good job.

Because other companies dare not use people on the Huo Group blacklist.

Therefore, Yun Na is finished this time!

Amidst Jin Linlin's highly expectant gaze, President Huo walked toward Yun Na's direction.

He curled his knuckles and knocked on her desk.

His cold, stern features showed no emotion, and Yun Na just glanced at him; like a quail, she wished she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Come with me."

After Huo Junze finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the office direction.

Mo Mishu, who followed closely behind, made a gesture of invitation.

Now Yun Na was truly beyond tears.

Inside the conference room.

Huo Junze sat in the leather sofa at the head of the table with a bold and unconstrained posture.

His distinct, bony fingers were clasped in front of his chest, and his long, raven-feather-like eyelashes obscured his deep eyes, making it impossible for people to see the emotions within.

Yun Na, who had been brought over completely passively, lowered her head; from her perspective, she could only see the pair of long legs under the boss's desk.

President Huo's height of nearly 1.9 meters indeed provided plenty of pressure.

"Tell me about it."

His gaze was like a knife; when it swept over her, she felt as if everything about her had been seen through.

Nowhere to hide.

The problem is, what is she supposed to say???

She really felt so wronged that her voice was almost on the verge of tears, "President Huo, I haven't neglected my work, have I? It's... it's currently lunch break..."

Clearly she was in the right, yet the more she spoke, the less confident she felt.

Mo Mishu found her appearance somewhat amusing; the power of the boss, indeed!

"President Huo's intention was to ask what you were just eating, and which shop you bought it from. He didn't mean to hold you accountable."

After Mo Mishu's explanation, Yun Na finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

She knew that no one could escape the deliciousness of this Boxed Meal.

Even someone as powerful as President Huo was captured by this flavor.

She was scared to death.

Yun Na, as if she were recommending her favorite idol to others, gave a rough account of the situation, and in her words, Rehuohu Restaurant was almost mythologized.

Moreover, she used different words to describe the texture of every single dish.

If they hadn't smelled this strange fragrance beforehand, they definitely would have thought she was bragging.

After she finished explaining the ins and outs, she was allowed to leave.

Huo Junze had already opened his Light Brain and was looking at the information for that small shop.

It was a shop with nothing but rave reviews, and everyone's words were incredibly exaggerated, praising it as if it were peerless in heaven and on earth.

Besides the Boxed Meal, this shop had previously sold Fried Fries, Roasted Sweet Potato...

Wait!

Catching two unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar terms, Huo Junze's eyes narrowed, and his hands moved swiftly.

He pulled up a file.

Typing in the two characters for "sweet potato," a massive amount of data immediately popped up.

Sweet potato, also known as yam, earth melon, red tuber, etc., is a perennial herbaceous vine plant containing latex; its tuberous roots are white, red, or yellow, with stems producing adventitious roots, leaves are broadly ovate or ovate-cordate, leaf colors include dark green, yellowish-green, purplish-green, etc., with acuminate tips and cordate or truncate bases.

The corolla is pink, white, pale purple, or purple, bell-shaped or funnel-shaped, glabrous, and the capsule is ovoid or oblate.

A rare expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Boss, is there something wrong?"
