Chapter 25

It was almost twelve o'clock, time for lunch.

Zhang Qiu had been fantasizing about whether they would go to a hotel or somewhere else for lunch, but President Mu and Su Yun led him to the company cafeteria.

At this time, there were not many people in the cafeteria. When the three of them walked in, the spacious cafeteria, which could accommodate about fifty people, seemed unusually empty. Zhang Qiu took a look around and realized that this company cafeteria, despite being called a cafeteria, did not actually cook meals. It was just a large hall with long tables and chairs for employees to eat.

At this moment, a person pushing a food cart walked in. The cart, similar to a supermarket shopping cart, was filled with a large number of boxed meals.

The two delivery girls were neither particularly attractive nor unattractive. When they saw Zhang Qiu sitting with President Mu and Su Yun, their eyes clearly showed a hint of surprise.

Seeing them, Su Yun walked over and negotiated, taking out three boxed meals from the cart.

This completely shattered Zhang Qiu's hopes, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

Boxed meals! Such a high and cold President Mu, such a mature and beautiful Assistant Su, actually ate boxed meals! And they actually invited him to eat boxed meals! His fantasies were instantly shattered.

When Su Yun brought over the three boxed meals, she first placed one in front of President Mu.

Then she said to Zhang Qiu, "The flavors of these boxed meals are fixed, and there's not much to choose from. I just picked one that's the same as mine."

Noticing that Zhang Qiu's expression was a bit off, Su Yun smiled and added, "Don't worry... it's not some dark cuisine. It's regular flavors: braised pork ribs with potatoes, braised carp, and shredded cabbage."

"Ah." Zhang Qiu responded lightly, taking the boxed meal.

The moment he got the boxed meal, he suddenly felt better and smiled.

The lunch box in front of him was enormous, larger than any fast food box he had seen before. No wonder it could hold three dishes. When he opened the lunch box, the first thing he saw was a large carp, about three to four fingers wide, a whole braised carp. The other two dishes, especially the braised pork ribs, had a generous amount of ribs.

It seemed that although it was fast food, the meal was still quite good. Zhang Qiu immediately tried a bit, and the taste was surprisingly good, not inferior to some of the dishes he had eaten at hotels and restaurants.

"The taste is really good! Sister, you really know how to choose!" Zhang Qiu praised.

Su Yun also smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"Good taste is all that matters. I usually eat and live in the company and don't like going out. I apologize for the inconvenience today, I hope you don't mind." President Mu finally spoke. She had been observing Zhang Qiu all along, so she hadn't said anything.

Zhang Qiu was curious when he saw the cafeteria, but the disappointment was evident on his face. When he saw the boxed meals, he was even more disappointed. President Mu concluded that Zhang Qiu was someone who enjoyed pleasure and lacked depth in his thoughts and actions.

Such a person indicated an opportunity to attract him. The worst type would be someone with deep scheming and no obvious interests.

"Not at all! I think this lunch is very abundant, much better than the school cafeteria. Which restaurant is this? The owner must be a real industry conscience! The portion size of this fast food is so generous. I wonder what the price is. If I could eat such fast food at school, it would be great." Zhang Qiu said.

Hearing Zhang Qiu's words, Su Yun suddenly asked, "Can you guess who owns this restaurant?"

"Who?" Zhang Qiu didn't understand why Su Yun was asking this, and without any hints, how could he guess?

Su Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "This restaurant is owned by President Mu. With so many employees in the company, they all get free work meals. If we opened a kitchen in the company, it would disrupt the overall environment, and ordering from outside would not be safe or hygienic. So, President Mu decided to open her own restaurant, mainly to supply the company, and if there's any extra, she does some external sales."

"Having a boss like President Mu, the employees are truly blessed!" Zhang Qiu couldn't help but feel that President Mu was truly considerate, as evidenced by this work meal.

To his surprise, Zhang Qiu's casual comment was met with a response from President Mu, "Then, would you like to work for me?"

Work for her? Zhang Qiu couldn't help but look at President Mu's delicate features, her beautiful face, her prominent chest, and her slender hands. Having such a boss would be great!

"I want to! Of course, I want to. But I still need to study, and I can't work now." Zhang Qiu said, "However, if I need a job in the future and there's a position available here, I will definitely come."

"Can't you start now? I need a cybersecurity expert. If you need to study, you can work part-time. I'll try not to affect your studies." President Mu, seeing Zhang Qiu's interest, immediately seized the opportunity to show her decisive and efficient style.

Zhang Qiu firmly said, "Of course not! The college entrance exam is the culmination of twelve years of my youth, and I can't give it up for this. Even if the exam is no longer useful to me, I must still give it my all to prove myself! There are many opportunities to earn money, but there's only one chance for the college entrance exam! I will never lose sight of the bigger picture!"

She didn't look down on Zhang Qiu just because he was still a high school student. Instead, she admired him even more. At such a young age, he had such skills and achievements, yet he remained humble and focused on his studies, aiming to excel in the college entrance exam to prove himself. She admired this scholar-like attitude, perhaps all geniuses had such a spirit.

However, Zhang Qiu's firm refusal was largely because the system had not yet resumed operation. If he met President Mu now, wouldn't he lose a mission opportunity?

He had already figured out a pattern: meeting a new beautiful woman was a mission, and interacting with her was also a mission. With such a beautiful woman in front of him, he wouldn't want to waste the mission opportunity. So, he decided to delay meeting her as long as possible.

Soon, the clock struck twelve, and employees began to enter the cafeteria for lunch. The moment they saw Zhang Qiu sitting opposite Su Yun and President Mu, their gazes were immediately drawn to him, their faces filled with surprise, questions, and curiosity.

This wasn't because Zhang Qiu was handsome or had a captivating aura, but because he was sitting so close to President Mu, known as the "Ice Queen," and they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, with the beautiful Assistant Su Yun by his side.

Such a luxurious lineup created a major gossip topic, igniting the women's curiosity.

So many girls' gazes and so much chatter made Zhang Qiu feel as if his face was on fire, and he couldn't help but feel a bit flushed.

At this moment, a girl who was somewhat familiar with Zhang Qiu boldly walked over, "Hey, little cutie, it's you! You have the guts to eat with our President Mu! You're bolder than you look."

The girl's boldness made Zhang Qiu sweat. She dared to joke about the boss. Was she thick-skinned or really capable?

Zhang Qiu glanced at her chest, which didn't seem particularly impressive. However, her personality was definitely that of a tough girl.

The tough girl walked over to Zhang Qiu and patted his shoulder, saying, "What, little cutie, not talking? Admitting it by default?"

Before Zhang Qiu could fully process what she said, the tough girl's action made him tense up. It was a soft, delicate hand! And it was on his shoulder! Such an intimate gesture made Zhang Qiu smell her faint, sweet scent.

"Enough. Don't scare our future cybersecurity minister! Otherwise, I'll demote your supervisor!" Seeing the tough girl bullying the innocent little cutie, President Mu finally stepped in to uphold justice. Besides, the tough girl's joke had already targeted her, so she had to counter.

It turned out this girl was a supervisor! But how could such a girl be a supervisor? It seemed only a tough girl like her could handle the job. Zhang Qiu's mind was in a bit of a mess.

Just as he was at a loss, the supervisor tough girl patted Zhang Qiu's shoulder again.

"Hehe, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going to eat!"

As the tough girl left, Zhang Qiu felt as if his body was about to collapse. He immediately stood up and said, "I'm full. You two enjoy your meal. I have something to do at school."

With that, he quickly stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. His hasty retreat made Su Yun laugh, and even President Mu's lips twitched.

In fact, Zhang Qiu also wanted to slap her back, but he didn't have the courage to do so with an unfamiliar girl. If it were someone as close as Ning Lan, it would be different. Besides, this was the tough girl's territory, and the cafeteria was full of women, many of whom were her subordinates. Zhang Qiu wouldn't have any advantage, so he could only retreat.

As he left the cafeteria, he suddenly received a text message: "Brother Qiu, shall we go shopping this afternoon? I"

Seeing the message, Zhang Qiu couldn't help but smile and immediately started typing on his phone.
