Chapter 663 Divine award (1/2)

*Ding

The private elevator inside Lu Corps chimes in arrival on the highest floor level. The doors slide open and Lu Tian's tall figure strides. He doesn't stop but makes his way towards his office.

”Morning Boss!”

Xu Long was already waiting for his arrival and greets him like usual. However, when he saw Lu Tian's expression and the air, he brought along with him, he (Xu Long) was in a daze.

Usually, Lu Tian's mood is gloomy and indifferent, like there were always dark clouds lingering above him. However, something was different today. There was a very minor feeling of warmth around him and he (Xu Long) can see a very tiny smile.

Staring at the smile that is barely noticeable, Xu Long felt a shiver crawl down his spine. Both his hands raise to his lip and he starts biting his nails as he trembles.

'Who in God's name anger his boss?'

He nervously follows after the ruthless man and contemplates in his head. He tries to recall everything that has happened, but no matter how much he tried, there was nothing that could possibly anger the man.

Just as Lu Tian opens the door to his office, Xu Long's jaw drops to the floor and he stares with wide eyes at the man.

The air around his boss isn't the usual murderous air, but a happy one.

His fingers still being bitten uncurls and he covers his mouth as a creepy grin curls on his lip.

'Could it be that boss and the boss lady finally…'

”Xu Long.”

Before his thoughts could travel too far, Lu Tian's deep voice brings him back to reality. Xu Long wanted to answer yes, but the man in front of him spoke first.

”Did you buy the mop?”

Xu Long was confused at first, but quick to understand, he nods his head and dashes towards his office. He returns at the speed of lightning with a mop and shows his boss.

He held it out in one hand, and he wore a proud expression.

”I purchased the best one in the market. I even had it express shipped overnight.”

Lu Tian was dumbfounded beyond anything. However, thanking his aloofness, he was able to keep his composure under control.

He stares at his assistant, then down at the mop. He gives an order then turns away to enter his office.

”Mop the entire floor. Once you're done, return that mop to the custodian then report back in my office.”

”…”

This time, it was Xu Long's turn to be dumbfounded. His jaw that had yet to close drops more like it had reached the first floor. He could not believe what he had just heard.

Secretary Ye sat behind her seat nearby the two men. She had heard the entire conversation and laughs loudly at the poor assistant.

”See, I told you that wouldn't fool boss at all.”

Hearing the woman who had been quiet for a while now, Xu Long robotically turns his head to look at her. He wanted to retort her words, but think about what she said, he could only sigh in disappointment. She was right.

His boss had been ordering him to buy a mop, so he finally did. Well, he didn't actually buy it but borrowed it from the custodian. When he said he had express shipped overnight, he meant the custodian delivered it.

However, he never thought his boss would be so attentive and saw through his lie.

He heaves a long sigh in sympathy for his poor self but sighs harder again when he remembers his boss's words.

”Well, it's all or nothing.”

Shaking off all the feelings inside him, he inhales a deep breath that causes him to draw in his stomach. As he exhales deeply, he frees his mind and firmly grabs hold of the mop handle with both hands.

He doesn't waste any time and begins mopping the floor in swift forward and backward motions.

As he did this, he takes on the role of a Shaolin monk in training and the mop became his wooden staff.

”Hai-yah!”

He roars fiercely like a tiger in battle and poses in a rooster stance with the mop in one hand.

Taking another deep breath to meditate his free mind, his head turns to look at the dumbstruck Secretary Ye.

”I have fulfilled my training.”

He lowers his leg that was bent up and walks over to Secretary Ye's desk. In a flat tone, he hands the mop to her.

”I hope you can send this divine mop to Lord Custodian as I must seek my Master for my next training.”

Secretary Ye didn't know why but she could not take her eyes away from the man. She subconsciously takes the mop from him and nods her head in understanding.
