86: Chapter 85 Stubborn to the end, a dead end

"What? He's the one who came up with the errand service too?"

"Yeah, many people in our company are using the delivery and errand services now."

"About a week ago, Fengda Delivery's food delivery business was already covering a ten-kilometer radius centered on Shen University, and the delivery service it launched now covers almost the entire city."

"The registered riders have also expanded from the initial group of university students to ordinary people."

Xiao Yun patiently explained the current achievements of Fengda Delivery, which was created by Lin Feng, to Wang Lingling.

Wang Lingling's face fell.

After returning to the country, she learned about this Lin Feng from her mother.

She had also been investigating him for a week.

It could be confirmed that he was truly from a grassroots background, and even three months ago, he was still a simp.

So-called food delivery was just amplifying people's laziness to the extreme, taking shortcuts to make quick money; this business wouldn't last long.

Yet, ironically, she was now using the errand service herself?

"I'm not eating today. Throw it away."

"Ah… throw it away?"

"I'll go eat in the cafeteria."

"The cafeteria isn't open anymore."

"What?"

"This is the latest directive issued by the chairman. To cut costs and increase revenue, meal subsidies have been set for everyone from regular employees to management. From now on, lunch and dinner must be handled personally."

…

"Then I won't eat."

"Miss… Miss Wang…"

Xiao Yun called out, but Wang Lingling ignored her and walked out the door in her red-bottomed high heels.

Wang Lingling had only had a cup of coffee since getting up this morning; she must be hungry by now.

But Wansheng Group's office building was located in the CBD of Shen City, surrounded entirely by commercial office buildings. To get a meal, one had to drive about 4 kilometers.

Xiao Yun was speechless. She had accompanied Wang Lingling abroad, taking care of all her daily needs.

This young lady had ability and strong learning skills, but she was too strong-willed and stubborn to the end.

She could tell that Wang Lingling was so hungry her feet were unsteady; if she got hypoglycemia soon, it would be troublesome.

She chased after her, only to see Wang Lingling standing blankly at the office door.

The office area was very lively. A group of company security guards was pushing five carts, all loaded with sealed food delivery bags.

"Oh my, the braised pork rice I love! Finally, I don't have to go out to buy it."

"I still have an ad copy to finish today. Going to the cafeteria for a meal takes 40 minutes, but now I can eat and work at my desk. So comfortable."

"The Taiwanese beef noodles I like are 10 kilometers away. The travel cost alone for a meal is quite a bit, but now for 15, it's delivered right to my desk. So awesome."

"Recently, Fengda Delivery even launched a food safety upgrade plan, sealing food packaging and having riders and restaurant owners take photos and upload them before delivery. We feel at ease eating it."

"It's said that if caught three times, they are blacklisted by real name. Whether it's a merchant or a rider, once they violate the rules, they will never be hired by Fengda again."

"No wonder. Ever since Fengda's new regulations appeared, the outside world has been full of praise for them."

"Heh, otherwise do you think our company would spend 12 million to buy advertising space?"

"Look at this fried chicken, 10 kilometers away, and now I can eat it in the office while enjoying the air conditioning. How comfortable."

Employees outside the door were lining up to pick up the food they had ordered.

There were no bad reviews, no complaints, only praise.

Wang Lingling stood at the doorway, watching this scene with her mouth agape, feeling it was absurd.

The business she thought couldn't be taken seriously had now actually covered Wansheng Real Estate.

What about other small and medium-sized enterprises, and even large groups…

Wang Lingling swallowed her saliva, suddenly wondering if she had been too naive before.

"Um… Miss Wang, are you still eating?"

She froze, and her stomach let out a grumbling protest.

The game between her and Lin Feng hadn't even started yet; she absolutely could not admit defeat now.

In the end, the winner would still be decided in finance.

"I'm not eating. Throw it away."

"But…"

"No buts. Throw it away."

"Oh… okay… okay."

Xiao Yun didn't dare to disobey her and tossed the light meal in her hand into the trash can.

The sound of high heels gradually faded away as Wang Lingling walked towards the management lounge.

Ten minutes later, in the private lounge, Wang Lingling, having drunk three cans of cola, finally no longer had hypoglycemia.

"Damn it, Uncle actually closed the cafeteria. Shouldn't there at least be some snacks prepared?"

Wang Lingling rummaged through the lounge for a long time, but apart from cola and mineral water, there was nothing else.

She plopped down onto the sofa, her face pale with anger.

With just one word, she could order someone to go out and buy it for her, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Suddenly, she felt a hard texture in her hand. She picked it up and looked, her face lighting up with joy.

It was actually a pack of soda crackers.

Wang Lingling, who was already dizzy with hunger, didn't care about anything else and tore open the packaging to finish it right away.

When a person is extremely hungry, anything they eat tastes like a delicacy.

However, after two crackers went down, a few seconds after the hunger pangs slightly subsided, Wang Lingling suddenly felt that the taste in her mouth was a bit off.

Not only were these crackers a bit soft, but the taste also didn't seem quite right.

She suspiciously picked up a cracker to take a look, and her pupils constricted.

Good grief, these crackers were actually eight months expired.

She hurriedly stuck her fingers down her throat, but after dry heaving a few times, she couldn't vomit anything out.

Vaguely, she felt a slight discomfort in her lower abdomen.

Frowning, she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran to the restroom.

At 4 PM, employees in several open-plan offices were whispering to each other.

"Holy crap, how many times has Wang Lingling gone to the bathroom now?"

"How the hell would I know? Probably more than 20 times. Look at her, her legs are weak. What did she eat to get like this?"

"Damn, could it be a leak?"

"Nonsense. A leak? With that many times, how much could there be? Wouldn't she be a dried corpse by now?"

"If you have diarrhea that bad, wouldn't your intestines come out?"

Wang Lingling, who was dejectedly preparing to return to her office, suddenly changed expression, clutched her buttocks with both hands, and rushed into the restroom again.

"Ah… so uncomfortable… it hurts so much."

Heart-wrenching wails came from the restroom.

After enduring all afternoon, Wang Lingling finally couldn't hold on anymore.

The feeling of not being able to stop diarrhea even with montmorillonite powder and berberine—who understands?

She was truly scared. She had no strength left in her body. If she weren't at the company, she wouldn't even want to wear her underwear; she just wanted to weld herself onto the toilet.

Xiao Yun stood at the office door, looking helpless.

She refused to eat the delivery, ate expired crackers left by someone in the lounge, and ended up with diarrhea all afternoon.

Why go through all that?

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong with Lingling?"

"Ah… Mr. Wang… Miss… Miss Wang, she…"

Wang Jun had arrived on this floor without anyone noticing.

Xiao Yun was startled and hurriedly recounted what had happened.

"Mr. Wang, I really couldn't help it. She wouldn't listen to me."

After hearing this, Wang Jun wasn't angry at all; instead, he was overjoyed.

Lin Feng had told him on the phone to leave Wang Lingling to him to handle.

He had been very worried, but now he realized he was still too young.

Damn, Lin Feng hadn't even made a move yet, and he had already caused his cousin to suffer public humiliation.

"Alright, I don't blame you. Xiao Yun, take good care of Lingling. If you're tired, you can take a few days off. I'll be going now."

"Oh… okay… okay, Mr. Wang."

"Xiao Yun, help me back to the office."

Wang Lingling walked out, her long legs pressed together, leaning against the wall.

If one didn't know the backstory, they would think she had been shot.

"Xiao Yun, help me, help me back to the office."

"Oh… okay… okay…"
