Chapter 61: Focus all eyes on me in Chapter 61

Wang Manni?

The person who made the reservation also seems to have the last name Wang?

Could it be the same person?

"Thank you."

Liu Zheng politely responded, then stepped out of the elevator.

Outside was a long hallway, with offices on both sides.

"401, 402, 403, found it."

He pushed open the door and entered.

Inside was a huge space, packed with cross-shaped cubicles, easily hosting over a hundred workstations at first glance.

Hearing the noise, the employees behind the workstations all looked up.

Over a hundred faces of varying styles looked at Liu Zheng, nearly triggering his claustrophobia.

"Cough, cough, may I ask which one of you is Manager Wang? His order has arrived."

He lifted the delivery box to indicate.

"Manager Wang is in a meeting, give it to me, I’ll give it to him later."

A woman with a 3D-style face stood up and walked over to Liu Zheng.

"You are?"

"I’m his secretary," the woman said.

He looked at the woman’s chest where her badge was clearly written.

Sales Department Specialist, Wang Manni.

"How long is his meeting going to last?" asked Liu Zheng.

"That’s hard to say, could be ten minutes, or it might be an hour," said Wang Manni.

"Then where is he having his meeting? I can take it there."

"What? Are you afraid I’ll eat his takeaway?"

Wang Manni let out a coquettish laugh.

It must be said, her figure was quite impressive, her hand-tailored suit dress was striking, and her 3D facial modeling was top-notch.

Chargeable.

If it were another time, Liu Zheng wouldn’t mind bantering with her.

Even knowing this gal wasn’t human.

But now that he knew she was a bitch, it suddenly became tasteless, only finding it annoying.

He was a decent person, only liking the "pure lust" style.

"Right, very afraid," he bluntly said.

"My dress alone costs over eight thousand, you think I’d steal the takeaway?"

Wang Manli let out an exaggerated laugh.

Yet, she managed the tone well without discomforting others.

"Rich people can’t steal takeaway?"

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"I know a tree that would even snatch your pee. But it could easily afford a bottle of the limited edition Vlad III."

"Are you richer than that?"

Wang Manni could no longer keep laughing; she felt that the delivery guy was speaking the truth.

She started feeling embarrassed, which then morphed into irritation.

"If you know such rich people, why are you still delivering food?"

She asked sarcastically.

"Because the city is big, and I want to look around," replied Liu Zheng.

Wang Manni was left speechless by his response and reverted to the main topic.

"Manager Wang doesn’t like being disturbed during meetings. You can either give it to me or wait until he comes back from the meeting."

He checked his phone; half an hour was left.

Actually, how much time was left didn’t matter, that Manager Wang definitely wouldn’t return before the deadline.

He knew these order-making people too well.

Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the security guard’s advice.

Argue in private, fight in public.

Liu Zheng sized up Wang Manni, a standard white-skinny-not-young style; he could handle ten of her with one tentacle.

But considering her high income, in this money-driven world, her combat ability wouldn’t be weak.

So, he decided to switch tactics.

"Let’s not rush the delivery. That dress you’re wearing is really nice, where did you buy it? I’d like to buy one for my girlfriend too," Liu Zheng said with a beaming smile.

"Huh?"

Wang Manni was caught off guard.

I was just about to come at you full force, and you switch faster than a Frenchman.

She couldn’t calm the anger inside, but it’s not easy to strike a smiling face, so she reluctantly replied.

"This is custom-made by a tailor who only accepts reservations from high-income groups," Wang Manni emphasized the words "high income."

"Perfect, my girlfriend is the executive sous chef assistant at the Bloody Restaurant; she should be in the high-income group," Liu Zheng said with a smile.

He checked, and Salmon was a female cat.

Admittedly, having a cat as a girlfriend was a bit odd, but it couldn’t be helped

After all, he was no longer constrained to human norms.

Couldn’t possibly settle for Niu Ma and White Feather Chicken, right?

French Plane Tree? That guy might not even have a gender.

As for Si Xue, Liu Zheng didn’t dare.

He was afraid he’d be squashed the moment he spoke up.

Oh, I forgot there was a novelist.

Never mind, it’s not a big deal.

"Well..."

Wang Manni hesitated a bit.

An executive chef assistant at Bloody Restaurant was indeed considered high-income.

"Someone as beautiful and generous as you, being high-income, wouldn’t be unwilling to share, right?"

Liu Zheng feigned surprise.

Wang Manni certainly didn’t want to share.

If someone wore the same as her, wouldn’t all her money have been spent in vain?

Matching outfits isn’t scary, who’s ugly is embarrassing.

This is talking about regular clothes, who would want their custom clothes to match with someone else’s?

But seeing the look other colleagues gave her, Wang Manni really couldn’t refuse.

"Of course no problem, write down the number."

She forced a smile and rattled off a string of numbers.

Liu Zheng also took them down seriously, his memory was exceptionally sharp nowadays.

And besides, it might come in handy.

"I notice your earrings are quite beautiful, they have that aristocratic delicate feel. If I give these to my girlfriend, she might be so happy she’d propose to me on the spot."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Hahaha."

The employees in the office burst out laughing.

Wang Manni couldn’t help but crack a slight smile.

"That won’t do, the proposal definitely has to come from the boy, right, sisters?"

She said.

"Assistant Wang is right,"

The female employees echoed one after another.

Feeling she had gained a bit more favor, Wang Manni felt proud.

"Assistant Wang, it’s clear you’re well-liked, just a word and so many people respond."

Liu Zheng said enviously.

"Haha, it’s all thanks to everyone’s support,"

Wang Manni’s smile grew a bit more genuine.

"Oh, right. Thanks for telling me the tailor’s phone number, this coffee is on me."

"I don’t drink... uh, thank you."

She was about to say she didn’t drink outside coffee, but seeing it was Unlucky Coffee, she swallowed back her words.

After all, declining even Unlucky Coffee would be too antisocial.

The half-sugar caramel macchiato with delicate latte art on top really suited her taste as an urban beauty.

Wang Manni even suspected whether the delivery person was secretly in love with her; otherwise, why would the coffee be so appropriate?

Flattering and offering coffee, this series of actions had put her in a difficult position to make things hard anymore.

After all, so many colleagues were watching.

"Come with me."

Wang Manni set down the coffee and waved Liu Zheng over.

"Alright."

He followed Wang Manni to a small door.

Wang Manni knocked on the door gently with her knuckles.

"What is it?"

A grumpy voice came from inside.

"Manager Wang, your takeout has arrived."

Wang Manni said in a clipped voice.

"I’m in a meeting, have him wait."

Manager Wang said impatiently.

Wang Manni looked at Liu Zheng, who shook his head pointing at his phone.

"It’s almost delivery time, the delivery person is quite anxious, maybe you could come out and get it?"

Wang Manni remembered the caramel macchiato, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Can’t you be less annoying, can’t you just sign for it?"

Manager Wang’s voice was almost a roar.

"Can’t you handle even this little thing, what are you even here for as an assistant?"

Wang Manni’s face turned pale from being yelled at.

She shook her head at Liu Zheng, indicating she was powerless.

"Thanks Miss Wang, you’ve already been a lot of help,"

Liu Zheng sincerely thanked her.

"If it doesn’t work, just wait a bit longer, in ten minutes I’ll ask for you again,"

Feeling his sincerity, Wang Manni was willing to help a little more.

"No need, even if we wait ten more hours he won’t sign for it. In their eyes, only their own time matters,"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Wang Manni asked.

"Me?..."

He smiled, then faced the cubicles and took a deep breath.

"Everyone, look this way!"

He shouted loudly.

The employees, who were already sneakily watching them, all looked up.

"I have an announcement."

Liu Zheng scanned the room, ensuring he had every employee’s attention.

"The boss is an idiot!"

He kicked open the door of the meeting room.
