Chapter 140: My life was a joke (2/2)

“Are you sure that is your final answer?” Suyang’s smile suddenly became dim. “I’ll give you one more chance. If you reply badly, I will investigate why you entered this company and tell the chairman.”

“You!” I panicked and glared at Suyang.

He clapped very excitedly. “Yes. This is the Lin Yixin I know. Terrible temper and easily provoked; comes whenever she feels like it and doesn’t care about how others feel. That is your style!”

As expected, Suyang was bitter towards my departure. Should I explain myself? But honestly, I couldn’t think of anything that could clear my crime. Forget it. It’s probably better that he hates me.

“I know your motive for entering this company isn’t pure. You better answer my question.”

“I……” Before I could continue, someone knocked and saved me.

“I’m busy!” Suyang snapped. He sounded like he didn’t want the person to come in.

“Manager, the chairman is looking for you.”

“Tell her I’m busy. No time.”

Wow, he even dares to reject the chairman. Suyang is still unruly like he was three years ago. What's his relationship with Yao Youfan?

“The chairman says it’s urgent.”

“I got it. I’ll come now.” Suyang finally gave in. He gave me a dirty look as he walked by me. Then, he whispered in a low voice, “The future is long. We have ample of time later to chat.”

After that, he confidently walked out of the room.

“Whew….” After Suyang left, I quickly ran out and found an empty seat to sit down. I held onto my beating heart as I tried to calm down. I gazed at Suyang’s office and thought to myself, What am I going to do if he wouldn’t let me go? At this rate, how can I do further investigation…..?

My head began to hurt and I started to mess with my hair. The new hiree noticed and sneakily came up beside me. He mumbled, “What did the manager say to you? Are you in trouble?”

He tried to suppress it, but I could still see his upward smile. Clearly, he wanted me to look bad. I looked down and noticed the worker ID around his neck. His name was Guo Zijun.

I said what he wanted to hear and pretended to act miserable. “Yes, the manager scolded me. He said I had to be alert during my work hours. If I continue acting like this, there is no need to return back to work.”

Guo Zijun seemed pleased by what I said. “Oh yeah, Secretary Luo said there is a welcome ceremony for all the new hirees tonight. After we’re done work, we have to go home and change before we attend.”

What’s going on? He’s actually nice enough to notify me?

“Welcome ceremony? Will we see the chairman too?”

“Who knows…? I guess it depends if we’re lucky. I doubt the chairman would come to a regular event like this though.”

If Yao Youfan shows up, this event would be a perfect excuse to get close to her. After all, if it’s a party, there will definitely be drinking. People are the least guarded when they are drunk. Perhaps I’ll be able to find out some stuff through her spirit and figure out whether she fabricated the will.

Suddenly, an unknown number appeared on my phone. I hesitated but ultimately decided to pick it up, “Hello?”

“Miss. Lin Yixin. It’s Xu Chuqiao. This is my personal cell phone. In order not to arouse suspicion, I’ll be using this phone to contact you from now on.”

“Alright. Is there an issue?”

“I heard you were called in by the marketing manager. Is everything ok?”

“Yeah. It’s my own issue. No need to worry.” For now, it’s fine. But soon….

“Alright. If there’s anything, call this number.”

“Yes, I understand.” You can’t solve my problem! I made a depressing face at my phone and shook my head. I swear my life was a joke.

So, I lingered around the office for the rest of the day until work was over. Initially, I thought being a job candidate would be very busy, but Guo Zijun wanted to show off so badly that he fought to do everything. So because of him, I had a lot of free time. It was great I didn’t have to do anything.

After work, I purposely went to buy an outfit for tonight’s event. When I swiped my credit card, my heart ached. I haven't even made money yet and now I have to go negative…

When I arrived at the company, it wasn’t the type of party I had imagined it to be. The only people that were standing in front of the building were the new hirees from this morning. Was this the event that Guo Zijun mentioned?
