Chapter 142: Why are you wearing a high collar shirt? (2/2)

She noticed all the new hirees were smiling around her. Hence, she couldn’t make her anger so obvious. So, she fakely smiled as she continuously drank cup after cup.

In no time, she had devoured two bottles.

Usually, she wasn’t much of a drinker. As a result, her mind was already spinning after two bottles of beer. All the new hirees were busy talking about their own departments. No one paid attention to her.

Since she was bored, Lin Yixin clumsily took out her cell phone and began to yell without dialing a number, “Hello!? Hello!!? Is anyone there? Yo! You punk, I never thought I would see you again! How dare you keep me in your office alone? Have you been corrupted by bad examples?”

All the new hirees became silent. They held onto their breath as they stared at Lin Yixin. Who is she shouting at?

Suddenly, Guo Zijun slammed the table and nervously turned to the girl next to Lin Yixin. “Qianqian, hurry and hang up her phone. She might've called the manager?”

Now, everyone was anxious and the atmosphere became super awkward. If a job candidate drunk-dialed a manager at a gathering, they would all be in trouble.

Song Qianqian freaked out and immediately took Lin Yixin’s cell phone away from her. But when she glanced at it, she felt a great sense of relief. “What the heck. She didn’t even dial a number!”

They were all scared for no reason. Someone began to joke, “I bet she doesn’t have the manager’s number. Hahaha.”

“Plus, this morning, the manager lectured her right away at his office. I am pretty sure she got yelled at so much that she is kind of traumatized. Now, she’s venting to air.” Guo Zijun mocked.

Once again, all the new hirees focused on their own issues and ignored Lin Yixin.

“Humph!” When Lin Yixin was given back her cell phone, she drank another cup and smirked. She had overheard what the new hirees were saying and now she was provoked. “Humph! Who says I don’t know Suyang’s number? I’ll call him now!”

Although Suyang’s number was no longer on Yixin’s phone, she had deeply memorized in her subconscious memory. Lin Yixin accurately dialed the number in her drunken state. The moment it went through and she began to laugh, “HAHA! Guess whoooooo?!?!”

Suyang had just finished showering. His hair was still dripping with water droplets when he noticed the caller ID. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up. “Hello?”

Lin Yixin was laughing like a mischievous child. She told everyone around her to be quiet. “Shhh! I can’t hear the phone!”

But everyone ignored her. So, Lin Yixin stood up and left the BBQ shop. She sat on the steps in front of the restaurant and began to foolishly smile. She was smiling at the sky.

Suyang whispered, “Yixin….”

“Pssh! You suck! How could you figure it out so quickly?” Lin Yixin hollered. Then, she dramatically stood up and twirled around. “But, I’m no longer the Lin Yixin from 3 years ago! Now, I’m the short hair version! And I can communicate with ghosts!”

Suyang didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. Goldfish must be drunk. Or else, she wouldn’t have called him. But he was very happy that she would call him while she was intoxicated. Could it be that she had never been drunk these past three years? Why did it take her so long to call?

“Where are you?” Suyang was already changing to go find her.

“Guess!” Lin Yixin ran over and began to hug a lamppost. “If you guess correctly, I’ll tell you!”

“Did you drink too much or are you suffering from aphasia? How could you tell me to guess?” Suyang gasped as he tried to quickly pull up his pants.

“I can’t tell you I’m around the company building or you’re going to come find me! Do you know that we’re not supposed to see each other?” Lin Yixin slurred. She happened to see a floating ghost dressed in white and ran back to the BBQ shop.

The new hirees were about to have a toast. Lin Yixin took the cup from Guo Zijun’s hand and drank it all down in one gulp.

“Woah! So good!”

Guo Zijun’s glass was stolen from him and his hand was still in mid air. Someone tapped his arm next to him and gave him another glass. But no one noticed his flushed face as he began to dry cough.

Suyang was fully dressed now. He sighed. It was actually good that Lin Yixin had such a low IQ at times. At least, now he knew where she was.

He warned, “Be good and remain where you are. I’m coming now.”

“No! You can’t come!” Lin Yixin sat back at her original spot and began to stomp her feet. However, the new hirees assumed she was still speaking to air so they continued to dismiss her behaviour.

“Didn’t you call me because you wanted me to find you?”

“No! I -I just don’t understand how you’re a marketing manager here!? Do you know how awkward I felt when I saw you today? I was so shocked, I was speechless. I foolishly stood there like a pole. So silly.”

Guo Zijun stared at Lin Yixin from the corner of his eyes. Lin Yixin’s back was facing him.

“Actually, I felt like you were quite good at talking back.” Suyang had arrived at the parking lot. He was about to drive to the work building to find Goldfish.

“Huh...why am I on the phone?” Lin Yixin asked herself out loud. Then, she hung up; leaving a speechless Suyang. All he heard was the “dut dut dut…” sound of a discontinued line.

In no time, Lin Yixin drank another three bottles of beer. Just as she was about to consume her fifth bottle, she was dancing alone in her head.

“The little girl carried her doll and went to the garden to see cherry blossoms. The doll cried for mama and the birds on the tree went haha….” Lin Yixin was humming a song as her mind wandered off into Lala Land.

At this moment, Suyang called. Lin Yixin was brought back to reality and wanted to hang up on him. However, she slid her finger in the wrong direction and ended up picking up the call.

“Where are you? I’m already at the work building.”
