Delicious, Hand It Over

Zhu Yu talked for so long that even his mouth had gone dry.

Annie seemed to have taken much of it to heart. She clenched her fists. "I think Assistant Zhu is right. With my qualifications, what kind of man couldn't I find? Why do I have to go after that blind fool?"

"Yes, yes, yes. You're absolutely right."

"Since I can't have him, I'm going to make him work for me."

"Annie, that was beautifully said. If we can't have him, there's no need to destroy him. Let him be our workhorse." Zhu Yu nodded in agreement. Destroying him was out of the question—at least not before he finished all his work.

"It's just that there's still one thing that really bothers me." Annie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Yu looked at her curiously. "What is it? Want me to talk you through it some more?"

"It's the coffee Su Duoduo spilled earlier. It was clearly cold, so why did Shen Jingyan still take her to rinse it with cold water? Was he trying to frame me, saying the cold coffee was hot and claiming I scalded her?"

"Maybe he was afraid she'd get burned... Huh? What did you say? The coffee was cold?" Zhu Yu couldn't hold it in and jumped right off his stool.

"...Yes, it was." Annie was startled by Zhu Yu's reaction.

"You ***. You've really become this shameless just to slack off, huh? Fine, fine." Zhu Yu rolled up his sleeves and stormed toward the washroom.

Annie blankly watched Zhu Yu's angry retreating figure, then exchanged a look with Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang sighed. Life was hard. Assistant Zhu was angry again!!!

Zhu Yu had just reached the washroom door.

When he heard the two people inside talking.

"A-Yan, we should hurry back. We've already been here for over half an hour. If we don't go back soon, Assistant Zhu will get angry."

"Duoduo, it's fine. This company belongs to my family. At worst, he'll drag me to my big brother, but my big brother won't do anything to me."

"By the way, Duoduo, hurry up and eat. I bought this roast chicken downstairs. It smells incredible."

"Is this really okay?"

"What's not okay? I've got your back."

Zhu Yu listened to their conversation, enduring it again and again.

In the end, Zhu Yu couldn't take it anymore and kicked the door open. It wasn't locked, only slightly ajar, so it flew open with one kick.

Su Duoduo and Shen Jingyan each held a drumstick, standing in front of the sink and eating with great relish.

"Is it good?" Zhu Yu walked up to them with a smile on his face.

"Y-Yes, it's good. Assistant Zhu, do you want some?" Su Duoduo instinctively hid her drumstick behind her back.

"Delicious, huh? Hand it over." Zhu Yu snatched the roast chicken away.

"You!" Shen Jingyan was about to grab it back.

Smack! Zhu Yu slapped his hand away.

"What do you mean, 'you'? So I was actually worrying about you two, and you really were playing me for a fool."

"Over half an hour, and you two were in here just to eat a chicken? Looks like you don't have enough work." Zhu Yu took a bite of the chicken as he spoke.

"It really is pretty good, but that doesn't stop me from giving you a little more work." Zhu Yu carried the roast chicken toward the office.

Shen Jingyan and Su Duoduo lowered their heads and followed behind him.

Zhu Yu led the two of them back to the work area, carrying the roast chicken.

Everyone looked over curiously.

"Everyone, Young Master Shen said he's treating everyone to roast chicken. It'll be here soon, so remember to eat some later." Zhu Yu raised the roast chicken in his hand.

"When did I ever..." Shen Jingyan's eyes widened.

"What? Were you lying to me just now? You don't want to treat everyone to roast chicken?" Zhu Yu looked at him in disbelief.

The other employees in the work area also looked over.

Shen Jingyan was immediately too embarrassed to back out and could only accept the outcome miserably.

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction and took another bite of the chicken in his hand. "So good!"

As Shen Jingyan returned to his seat, he nearly tripped over a chair when he heard that. You really know how to twist the knife.

Luckily, Li Yichen casually steadied him from the side, or he really would have fallen.

"Got caught?" Li Yichen looked like he understood. He had originally planned to go eat too, but his injured foot had kept him from going. He had actually escaped disaster.

"Don't even mention it. I'd only just taken one bite when the door got kicked open. Now I'm also on the hook for more than ten roast chickens." Shen Jingyan gritted his teeth and took out his phone to order delivery.

But as soon as he opened the screen, he received a message from his big brother.

Shen Jingmo [Big Brother]: You were sneaking food during work.

Shen Jingmo [Big Brother]: I've frozen all your bank cards. From now on, every cent you use will be deducted from your salary.

Seeing his big brother's messages, Shen Jingyan felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. Everything was gone—his money was gone, and his workload had increased.

Xiao Zhuang stood nearby holding a stack of documents, watching the suddenly lifeless young master Shen, and silently took a step back.

Xiao Zhuang seriously suspected that if he handed these documents to the young master now, he might faint.

Inside the office, Zhu Yu ate roast chicken while watching Shen Jingyan fall apart outside.

And on a desk not far away, Zhu Yu's phone displayed his chat with Shen Jingmo.

Zhu Yu: Boss, I want to report Young Master Shen for sneaking roast chicken during work.

Shen Jingmo [Golden Thigh]: Report successful.
