What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

Chapter 22 Your Takeout is Being Poisoned

The midday sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the clock on the wall had just passed twelve.

Su Feiyan was still in a meeting.

She was wearing noise-canceling headphones, and a tablet was set up in front of her, displaying several blond, blue-eyed foreign executives.

A string of fluent French words came out of her mouth.

Lu Li sat on the sofa next to her, idly counting the number of times Su Feiyan blinked.

Is this woman made of iron?

I haven't even had a sip of water since this morning, let alone eaten anything.

Lu Li touched his stomach.

"Sister, even the donkeys in the production team don't work this hard."

You've cultivated immortality and abstained from grains, while I'm still just a mortal.

If your assistant doesn't eat soon, she'll starve to death at her desk.

Su Feiyan paused slightly as she flipped through the documents.

She didn't look up, continuing to talk to the screen about the European market share for the next quarter.

Hungry?

It's good that you're hungry.

If you want to eat, then beg me.

If you just ask me, I'll take you to a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Su Feiyan was making plans in her mind, and even began to look forward to Lu Li acting cute.

however.

next second.

The thought that arose in Lu Li's mind almost caused her to lose her composure.

Forget it, there's no use begging this she-devil.

[I guess she has a photosynthetic constitution; she gets full just from sunbathing.]

It's best to be self-reliant.

Lu Li took out his phone and skillfully opened the food delivery app.

Fingers swipe rapidly across the screen.

The food in the cafeteria is free, but the taste is really not good. If you eat too much of it, you'll feel like your taste buds are going to deteriorate.

His eyes were fixed on a recently popular internet celebrity bento box brand.

Teriyaki chicken rice, with a braised egg and a grilled sausage.

perfect.

Place your order.

Then, he switched to the beverage section.

On such a hot day, not having an iced milk tea would be a disrespect to life.

"Missing You a Little" milk tea shop.

The name is a bit old-fashioned, but it's conveniently located and can be delivered quickly.

Lu Li ordered a signature bubble milk tea, 50% sugar, no ice.

Payment successful.

After doing all this, Lu Lixin put her phone back in her pocket with satisfaction and slumped onto the sofa in a more comfortable position.

【Done.】

Su Feiyan applied a little pressure with her fingers on the keyboard.

You'd rather eat takeout than ask me for help, right?

Row.

Then you can go eat your takeout.

Ideally, it should all be gutter oil!

Su Feiyan pouted and forcibly pulled her attention back to the meeting. She then raised even stricter KPI requirements to the executives on the other side of the screen, which frightened the group of foreigners so much that their faces turned pale.

……

After half an hour.

The internal phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Su Feiyan had just finished her meeting, took off her headphones, and casually pressed the speakerphone button.

"President Su, there's a takeout order here at the front desk. It's from Assistant Lu."

The receptionist's voice sounded hesitant, even a little confused.

Lu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.

coming!

He cheered inwardly and was about to get up to get it.

The person on the other end of the phone added another sentence.

"But... this deliveryman is strange."

"What's so strange?" Su Feiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Li, who was about to rush out the door.

He said it was a valuable item and he had to hand it over to Mr. Lu in person and watch Mr. Lu sign for it.

The receptionist's voice sounded puzzled.

"No matter what we said, he just wouldn't put his things down and insisted on going upstairs."

"The security guards are stopping him right now."

Lu Li was stunned.

[Valuable items?]

I only ordered a chicken cutlet rice and a milk tea, which cost less than fifty yuan in total. How could that be considered an expensive item?

Did the merchant give me a gold bar as part of a promotion?

Has the food delivery industry become this chaotic?

He was puzzled, but for the sake of that food, Lu Li still spoke into the phone:

"Alright, I'll go downstairs then."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Feiyan.

"Mr. Su, I'm going to pick up some food. I'll be right back."

Su Feiyan leaned back in her chair, her slender fingers gently tapping the table.

She found Lu Li's impatient manner somewhat amusing.

"Go."

She emphasized the words "valuable items".

Lu Li chuckled, turned around, and slipped out of the office.

Lu Li pondered whether he should share a braised egg with that female demon later, since it's easy to be punished by heaven for eating alone.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened.

As soon as Lu Li stepped into the lobby, he saw several people gathered around the front desk.

Two security guards were staring warily at the man in the middle.

The man was wearing a yellow food delivery uniform and a matching helmet.

There was a baseball cap underneath the helmet.

He was wearing a black face mask, which almost completely covered his face.

With all that gear, you'd think they were robbing a bank and just stopping by to deliver food.

"Assistant Lu!"

The receptionist saw Lu Li and quickly waved.

Hearing the sound, the deliveryman slowly turned around.

Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Lu Li could feel that the other person's gaze was like two hooks, firmly attached to him.

That feeling was very uncomfortable.

It's like being targeted by a venomous snake lurking in a dark corner.

Lu Li frowned and walked over.

"I am Lu Li, just give me the things."

The deliveryman handed the food over.

"Mr. Lu, is that right?"

The deliveryman's voice was hoarse, as if he had a mouthful of sand in his throat.

"Here is your meal, please take it."

He reached out and handed me the bag he was holding.

"Enjoy your meal."

The deliveryman suddenly raised his voice.

Especially the last four words, pronounced with extreme emphasis, carried an inexplicable and eerie feeling.

Before Lu Li could react, the man turned and left.

As he reached the gate, he turned back for one last look.

Even though they were quite far apart, you could still see that the mask was stretched out in an arc.

He is laughing.

"Is this person sick in the head?"

Lu Li muttered something to himself and looked at the takeout bag in his hand.

The packaging was intact and there was no leakage.

Apart from the delivery driver being neurotic, everything was normal.

"Assistant Lu, this person is really strange."

The receptionist patted her chest, still shaken.

"No matter what we asked him, he wouldn't say a word. He just stared at the elevator entrance. It was terrifying."

"It's probably because of the pressure of life."

Lu Li gave a perfunctory reply.

"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard. I'm going up now."

If we don't go up soon, that she-devil Su Feiyan will probably find fault again and deduct our wages.

Back to the top-floor office.

Su Feiyan was still busy.

Lu Li didn't greet him; his mind was completely occupied with his teriyaki chicken rice.

Lu Li placed the takeout bag on the coffee table and eagerly opened the package.

The lunchbox was opened.

The rich aroma of the sauce wafted out.

The chicken cutlet was grilled to a golden brown and glistening, the braised egg was round and plump, and the sausage was still sizzling with oil.

It was a veritable carbohydrate feast.

Lu Li swallowed.

He took out that cup of milk tea again.

The bubble tea, with water droplets clinging to the cup and black tapioca pearls sunk to the bottom, looks incredibly tempting.

Finally, I can have something hot to eat.

If I don't eat soon, these iron kidneys will turn into plastic kidneys from hunger.

Lu Li sighed inwardly as he picked up the thick straw.

Seal the milk tea.

Insert it forcefully.

puff.

The straw pierced through the plastic seal and disappeared into the light brown liquid.

Lu Li picked up the cup and put the straw into his mouth.

Just a second before the milk tea was about to enter my mouth through the straw.

[Ding! Warning! Extreme danger!]

[Danger Sense skill activated!]

Lu Li's hand trembled.

The milk tea almost spilled.

He remained frozen in place, still biting the straw.

[High concentration of complex toxins detected in the target item!]

[Ingredient Analysis: Potent senna leaf extract + nerve-blocking chondroitin powder.]

This combo is commonly known as the "Splatoon" combo.

[Predicted consequences of poisoning: Within three seconds of ingestion, the sphincter muscles will completely fail, resulting in nuclear-level pressure in the abdomen. Simultaneously, quadriplegia will occur, rendering the person unable to move or care for themselves.]

[Expected Outcome: The host will transform into a jetpack in front of the entire company and, unable to move, will continuously defecate in the office for three hours.]

[Probability of social mortality: 1000%]

The system's voice was cold and indifferent.

Lu Li's pupils contracted sharply.

Imagine that scene.

In the spacious and bright CEO's office.

In front of Su Feiyan, the female CEO.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and then...

A waterfall plunging three thousand feet?

What a hell on earth that was!

If that really happens, Lu Li won't need to stay on Earth anymore; he'll have to find a way to immigrate to Mars.

【Ye Fan!】

Holy crap!
