Chapter 1: My name is Lin Yixin (2/2)

Anyhow, last week, I was fired from my job. It ended my career of a nameless office worker of less than a year.

The reason why I was terminated was simple. I was actually using the company's female washroom when I noticed a freaky looking ghost that had hung herself. After seeing something so visual and traumatizing, in two seconds, I slammed the door of the washroom as I wildly ran out. Since I was so terrified, I didn't pay attention to what was in front of me. Hence, I collided with the boss's mother; whom happened to be on site to inspect her son's work. She ended up flying across the room…

Whoosh...

Regardless of how I explained, my boss (who couldn't see ghosts) was ruthless. He fired me in front of all the workers....and he said the fact that he didn't sue me was already generous of him. Then, he took the wages of my last two months to pay for his mother's medical bills.

Blah blah blah...

I could only secretly let out a sigh. This celestial, divine goddess despises you mortals!! Hmph!

My current employment situation was grim. There were many people just like me. We have undergraduate degrees, so we want good jobs. But the reality was that we couldn't get good jobs yet we weren't willing to settle for bad jobs. So we were stuck; couldn't move up or down.

I submitted my résumé to all kinds of small or medium size enterprises, but I never heard back from any of them.

Unfortunately, I was a broke person who would spend my monthly income before even earning it. If I cannot find a job by the end of this month, I'll probably have to join the mistress and hang myself upside down the window as well. We could camp out together.

”What am I going to do? What am I going to do?” I was mumbling like I was reciting a Buddhist scripture. I lay on the couch with my legs crossed as I kept swaying back and forth. I grumbled, ”The Ancients say that where hills bend, streams wind and the pathway seems to end, past dark willows and flowers in bloom lies another village. God may close a door for you, but He will open another window! When will my window open....!?”

I used my fingers to forcefully tap on the keyboard. One tap punctuated each of my word. Why. Haven't. There. Been. Any. Responses?

I realized both my stomach and brain were empty. I couldn't think, and the apartment was too quiet. I could hear myself breathing.

Then I discovered another problem. When has my breathing became so heavy? Could the apartment room be too silent?

As I thought about it, I stared at the ceiling.

Something felt strange. Could it be a misperception? I couldn't explain what was strange. But it just felt strange. Like there was something extra, but it still looked the same? It was honestly a very peculiar feeling.

Seriously, what was the issue?

While I was pondering, a droplet from the ceiling suddenly landed directly on my forehead. It was cool and gave me a tingling sensation.

”What's going on?” I finally snapped out of my daze and noticed a dark stain that had appeared on my ceiling. I had no idea when this stain had gotten there, but it wasn't a design from the wallpaper. It was a water stain!

Oh you fool! I slapped my forehead.

When I'm dealing with bad luck, even my upstairs neighbours have to join in!?

I took my cell phone and grabbed my keys as I stormed into the elevator and headed straight for the 27th floor. 2705.
