Chapter 1059: Bento

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Han entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor. His assistant, Gao Xiang, was already waiting at the door. “CEO, I’ve already placed this quarter’s report on your desk. There will be a plenary meeting at nine o’clock. In the afternoon, the branding department has two design proposals that need your decision.”

After Gao Xiang finished speaking, he looked at the bag in the President’s hand. A pink bag? The President never used bright colors, and his clothes were almost all black, white, and gray. This bag… had a story!

Xiao Han handed the bag over. “There’s food inside. Help me put it in the fridge.”

“Okay!” Gao Xiang carefully took the lunch box and placed it in the fridge.

During lunch time, Gao Xiang walked out habitually and asked, “President, what do you want to eat today? I’ll order lunch.”

“There’s no need. Yu Su made me a bento,” Xiao Han said with a hint of pride in his tone.

Gao Xiang was shocked and quickly asked, “Huh? Did Ms. Yu make it?”

“Is it very strange?” Xiao Han glanced at him. “Go heat it up in the microwave for me.”

Gao Xiang immediately went to cook. As there was no microwave on the president’s floor, Gao Xiang walked downstairs in a daze to heat up the food. When the food was ready, he finally understood why the President had not been in the company recently. The moment he turned on the microwave, he received a lot of exclamations.

“Wow!”

“It smells so good, Gao Xiang. What did you make?”

“Gao Xiang, let me have a taste!”

“It’s too tempting. Let me have a bite. I’d die for it.”

The employees at the back of the line stared at the microwave like wolves. If it weren’t for Gao Xiang’s high position, they would have come up to snatch it.

Gao Xiang quickly took it and left. He said, “This is the President’s meal. If you want to eat, buy it yourself!”

After the busy afternoon at the metaphysical store passed, Yu Su sat on the table and filled in the registration form. After she was done, she told Ye Tang to hand in the form. When they arrived at the Xiao Entertainment Company, Yu Su saw the guidance at the door and walked into a reception room.

Yu Su knocked on the door and asked, “Is this where the metaphysical competition is held?”

A male voice replied, “Come in!”

Yu Su walked in. There was only one table in the room, and there were two people sitting at the table. One was a middle-aged man in formal attire, and the other was a relatively inexperienced-looking girl. The two of them should be the receptionists in charge of the metaphysical masters competition. She handed over the registration form.

The waitress smiled and said, “You can leave after handing it over.”

Yu Su turned around and was about to leave when the male receptionist holding her registration form glanced at it and shouted coldly, “Wait!”

“Is there a problem?” Yu Su turned around and asked in confusion.

The male receptionist sneered with a mocking expression. “This is the most valuable metaphysical competition in the country at the moment. Why are you, a metaphysical master who doesn’t belong to any sect, here to join in the fun?”

The registration form was filled in with sects, and Yu Su filled in “none”. She really did not belong to any sects, and she did not care about those sects. Moreover, she was a staff member of the Metaphysics Management Office. If she was related to those sects, it would also affect her work.

“Can’t sectless metaphysical masters sign up?” Yu Su frowned slightly.

The male receptionist shook his head. “Of course. This competition only accepts metaphysical masters from large sects. These metaphysical masters have a deep foundation. Small fries like you shouldn’t come. Otherwise, you’ll waste our staff’s time.” After saying that, he placed the registration form aside.

Yu Su argued, “There doesn’t seem to be such a thing on the flyer for the competition, right? Could you have made a mistake?” She didn’t think that Xiao Han would hold a metaphysical competition with a threshold.

“Leave, leave, leave. Cultivators like you are just here to join in the fun. Do you think those prizes are so easy to obtain?” The male receptionist snorted coldly and began to swipe his phone without looking up.

This kind of competition was the best time to get a kickback. In fact, the spots had already been reserved. Only the people from the metaphysical association in the city and some well-connected metaphysical masters could sign up. A Daoist like Yu Su, who did not belong to any sect, was not qualified to enter at all.

Yu Su’s expression turned slightly cold as she turned around and walked out of the office. It was too ironic. After walking out of the Xiao Entertainment Company, Yu Su felt aggrieved. She sat in the coffee shop downstairs of the company and sent a message to Xiao Han: [This metaphysical competition is a little interesting. I just went to submit the registration form. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t even be qualified to participate.] After sending it, she stood up and was about to leave.

Her phone vibrated. Xiao Han replied: [Who said you’re not qualified to participate? I’ll contact the staff. Wait for me.]

On the other side, Xiao Han immediately called his assistant. Xiao Han was so angry that he was about to explode.
