Promise You a Prosperous Life - C20
Three days later, shortly after work in the afternoon, due to the need for work, Yu Mo Yi led the Sales Department’s personnel to work overtime in the meeting room. He also informed us that the logistics department had prepared food and sent it over.
The Chief of Section was supposed to be in charge of this work, but something suddenly happened to him and he gave it to me.
To keep my colleagues at work eating, I called to ask what they wanted to eat, and we all said the same thing. The instant I heard the word “sauce”, the sweet, not sweet, but self-scented smell seemed to drift into my nose again, and I couldn’t help but feel sick to my stomach.
I touched my stomach and teased. My child, your father is indeed domineering, but you actually surpassed him. You don’t like the smell of him and you aren’t even willing to listen to him. This is truly tormenting your mother.
But just as I finished sighing, I remembered that Yu Mo Yi was leading the overtime. When they went to deliver the food later, what would I do if there was another one?
However, there was still more to it than the difficulty. I called the soy noodle restaurant, explained the situation, and then said, “Can I trouble you to deliver the noodles to our company’s conference room on the 12th floor?”
I did so because I didn’t want to smell the aroma and didn’t want to expose myself. I thought the shop owner would agree, but unexpectedly, he awkwardly rejected me, “I’m sorry, but our restaurant’s owner is very busy tonight, so he doesn’t have any way to deliver the meal. Please forgive me.”
I said unwillingly, “How about this, we can all understand each other. You guys send it. I’ll get the return fee.”
The shopkeeper on the other end of the line said very politely, “Excuse me.”
I had no choice but to cover my mouth with a mask as I went out of the restaurant and to the door of the conference room. After a moment’s hesitation, I removed the mask.
My colleagues were all busy with their hands and feet in the air, but it wasn’t appropriate for me to just ignore them and bring a face mask in. More importantly, Yu Mo Yi might even let his imagination run wild because of this.
I took a deep breath and walked into the meeting room. I quickly placed the snack box in front of my colleagues who were working overtime, and just as three more of them were about to finish, a male colleague who had finished his work opened the snack box.
The air conditioner was blowing right at me, and the whole bowl of sweet flour paste wafted up my nose, my stomach filled with a stronger sense of disgust.
The male colleague swallowed his saliva as a satisfied expression appeared on his face. “This Jam noodles tastes really good. Just a sniff is enough to evoke a lot of gluttony. Even if someone were to trade seafood for it, I still wouldn’t agree.”
After saying that, my male colleague took the chopsticks and stirred the fast food box. Instantly, the sauce borrowed the force of the wind and the taste of the sauce blew in the wind, causing a strong taste of the sweet flour paste to flow down my nose and down my throat. A wave of disgust overcame me and I couldn’t hold it in any longer, retching a little, but at the crucial moment, I covered it with my hands.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to suppress the disgust in my heart. I looked at Yu Mo Yi in shock, worried that he would discover what had just happened.
Yu Mo Yi was looking through the information in his hand seriously, so he didn’t pay attention to the situation in the meeting room. Thus, I felt relieved from the lingering fear in my heart.
In the conference room, several colleagues had opened their snack boxes. The taste of the sweet sauce filled the entire room, and I couldn’t stay any longer. I quickly took out the last snack box and almost jogged out the door.
After jogging to the bathroom, I immediately threw up on the washstand. After a while, I felt a big hand gently patting my back. When I looked up, it was Yu Moyi, the one I didn’t want to see the most.
