Chapter 163 Will I Be Fired? (1/2)
Tang Xia was in a daze for a while after hearing July's words.
She didn't know why he would ask her such a question. But when she noticed that July seemed to be waiting for her answer, she had to cock her head to one side and think about it carefully.
”What kind of person is Chu Tiankuo?
”A president?” After all, she had met him in the task related to the president, and at that time, he had been her object of conquest.
”But... he seemed to be different from the president in normal tasks.”
But she couldn't tell what the difference was.
If she were to be asked to make it clear what kind of person he was despite his status, Tang Xia would fail to think of any words to describe him even if she used everything that she had learned in her life.
She had to recall her memories of where she had been in touch with him, hoping to find the answer she wanted.
Then the scenes began flying across her mind and stopped at the scene in the rain, where he held her in his arms.
The temperature was so cold in that rainy weather...
But she felt so warm both when she had experienced the rain that day and when she recalled it.
But then, she felt gloomy without a reason when she remembered everything that happened the day she had met Chu Tiankuo for the last time.
Stuck in her thoughts, Tang Xia started looking miserable, not knowing that every detail of her expression had been noticed by July sitting in front of her.
Tang Xia suddenly came back to her senses as July knocked on the table.
She looked at July regrettably and thought hard about how to answer the question he had asked.
As she was distressed, July suddenly opened his mouth again. ”Do you know that the existence of Chu Tiankuo has made lots of fans suspect that there has been a bug in the company's system?”
As an anchor, Tang Xia surely knew that such a suspicion would be aroused by the fans.
Now being asked by July, she had to nod honestly.
Then July continued, ”Many statistics show that the collapse of the virtual world where you have received your tasks was affected by Chu Tiankuo's mood swing. That was the cause of the accident.”
Tang Xia was shocked. So it had been Chu Tiankuo who had made her tasks terminate without reason.
She remembered that when he talked to her, he was indeed very angry.
But such things that had directly led to the collapse of the virtual world... It wouldn't be good for a company when such an uncontrollable thing happened.
Tang Xia suddenly became nervous and looked at July cautiously. She waited for his next words while prayed in her mind.
Yet it seemed that neither God nor Buddha heard her prayer because she heard another question from July soon after, which made her even more worried.
”Since you have overcome Chu Tiankuo, he has been showing up in your tasks now and then. I wonder if he will continue to appear in the future.” July narrowed his eyes, looking to be contemplating and deciding something.
Tang Xia was startled and thought it was terrible.
If July affirmed that she would be followed by a bug like Chu Tiankuo all the time, she would assume that it was likely that the virtual worlds would collapse anytime she would broadcast in the future.
If so, such an anchor like her would be a problem in the company. Then how could she get on in the company?
Would July fire her right away?
No! She didn't want to be fired without reason!
She bent her fingers and cast her eyes on July nervously, who had been lost in thought.
As she was thinking if she should plead with July, the latter, who had been thinking, looked bright in his eyes again.
He looked at Tang Xia meaningfully, which made Tang Xia feel more uneasy.
”July, I...”
Before she could finish, July raised his hand and gestured for her to stop.
”Ok. You can go back!” July said lightly. Then he moved his eyes away, and picked up and carefully read the paper on his desk.
”Ah?!” Tang Xia's mouth was agape in surprise. She couldn't reply to him.
July had to look at her again when he heard her voice.
He saw Tang Xia looking regretful, but just standing there motionlessly and looking at him with an expectant face, seemingly wanting him to reaffirm his words.
July had to put the paper in his hands back on the desk and explain with a patient look, ”Though the bug Chu Tiankuo's appearance has made additional trouble for the company, we have to admit that the guy has been profitable. Each of his appearances has produced enough stunts for the live bar. Since the company can make more profits due to this, it worth it in spite of some fleabites.”
Tang Xia picked up her ears and listened carefully to every word July had spoken. She let out a sigh of relief when she had made sure that she hadn't been fired.
That was all right because she could keep on broadcasting and living a happy life.
She thanked July with gratitude at once. ”Thank you, July. And thanks to the company.”
July nodded and waved at her. ”Well, it's over. You can leave now!”
