Chapter 103 - Step 2 (1/2)

On the top floor of SHM headquarters, four people were busying themselves.

Xian Tao, the chubbiest one who was always lazing around on the couch, was not holding his favorite ch.i.p.s but a laptop instead. He was typing madly and the laptop seems to overheat anytime.

Gi Pieng, the thinnest of them, who unusually not chewing his mint gum, has bloodshot eyes watching every CCTV footage he gathered.

Mu Fian, the muscled guy, who unhesitantly refused to join the raid for the mysterious dungeon today, was scanning a mountain of papers on his desk.

Lin Ruo, the lean man, was talking nonstop over the phone. Ring after ring he did not stop talking.

The office seems to be on fire with the four's undying passion.

This was the scene that the head receptionist witnessed when she entered the office.

She was holding the food that the four owners ordered online.

She had been knocking on the door but no one seems to hear her so she opened it and saw that the four were so busy.

”Uhm. Sirs, the food has already arrived.”

Kachik. Kachik. Kachik. -keyboard

[....]  - CCTV footage

Shing. Sheng. Shing. - turning of papers

Ring. ”Good morning sir, I am-” - Lin Ruo

The head receptionist was ignored.

”Uhm. I will leave the food here on the table.” She walked slowly to the table. No one seems to bother with her.

She put the food on the table.

”Enjoy your lunch, Sirs.” The head receptionist bowed and slowly went out.

As she closed the door, she can't help but believe what the receptionist on the ground floor told her. That they have a mysterious boss. That the four owners actually have their own boss.

If not, why it seems like the four owners work so hard like they gonna die tomorrow?

'I hope our mysterious boss will not make things hard for our four bosses. '

The head receptionist likes the four owners. Actually, all of the employees of SHM are fond of their CEO's. There's no power struggle and bribery in this company. Every single one of them had been interviewed by the four. They have been hired because they have the same view as the bosses. They are satisfied with their job as well.

The head receptionist heads out to tell the tale to her co-workers that their bosses were working hard like there's no tomorrow. She described in detail how unusual they are and how bloodshot the four's eyes were. She even told them that she delivered the food but no one seems to care to eat. Maybe they even don't have time to pee. The employees who heard of it sympathize and told it to their other co-workers. Until the entire SHM knew of its news. One security guard who was on duty last night heard this story from the guard who was on duty this morning. As he heard of that, he also said.

”Oh. Actually, the four bosses did not even go home. They are still in the office?” The security guard who was on the phone was stunned and told this story to the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady sympathizes with their bosses as well and told this story to every female who went to the toilet room.

Hence, every head of each department ran a meeting to help their bosses by working hard as well. They need to finish their own reports quickly. Reporters, with burning heart scoop news passionately.

SHM was on fire.

Meanwhile, the four in the office was working hard in their task.

Mu Fian put down the last paper in his hand. He massaged his forehead and rub his eyes. He could not help but comment,

”Waah. It feels like I've come back to the days where we are staying in our small office.”

Lin Ruo put down the phone. It was the last call for today.

”Yeah. It reminds me of when we feature our first story.”

Xian Tao clicked the enter key hardly and closed the laptop.

”But we're working on a big one this time. It can't compare the ones we have before.”

Gi Pieng was still staring hard at the monitor. He did not comment.

However, his stomach grumbled.

Afterward, three grumbles of stomach sounded consecutive.

Xian Tao was the first one who noticed the food on the table. He ran for it.

Mu Fan was the nearest so he grabbed it. But the time that he grabbed it, Lin Ruo with long arms, took it swiftly.

”First come first serve.” Lin Ruo smiled cheekily.
