C215 (1/2)
Tang Tianbao did not look at the caller ID nor did he answer the call. He hated any phone calls. If it wasn't for that phone call, he wouldn't have caused such a ruckus with Yu Meng.
The phone rang for a moment, then stopped, then rang again. This wasn't a loud noise, but it made Tang Tianbao upset. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it himself, and sucked on it, letting the ringing ring ring in his ears.
The ringing stopped after a while. Tang Tianbao threw the burned-out cigarette butt out the window. His heart was in turmoil; he could no longer understand Yu Meng.
Tang Tianbao walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. In his heart, he suddenly felt a desolate feeling as if a person had just left a teahouse. He was sighing and complaining: Why was it so hard to find a true love? Did Yu Meng really not love him anymore? He wasn't sure. In his mind, he saw the scene of the Golden Python Flower's narration. Yu Meng was in the midst of talking with another man …
In Tang Tianbao's eyes, love was full of teasing and teasing.
The phone rang again. Tang Tianbao lazily reached for his phone. He had already made up his mind that even if Chen Dalong called him to ridicule him, he would not be angry. Why should I be angry? Anger is about punishing yourself with someone else's mistake, he said to someone else. He had to say it to himself now.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Tang Tianbao's entire body shivered. On the screen of the phone was the ”Banshee.” During Tang Tianbao's worst days, he had changed Xie Min's phone number to the ”Banshee.” He believed himself to be Xie Min's slave girl. He believed Xie Min was a banshee who exploited his cheap labour every day. In reality, comparing the female boss to the female devil, Tang Tianbao wasn't the first or last person. This was probably a common phenomenon in society, so if the female boss wasn't the female devil, then it would instead be abnormal. In this society, only powerful women would be able to win a ”position”.
Tang Tianbao answered the phone.
The person on the other end of the line shouted hoarsely, ”Tang Tianbao, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone for so long?”
Usually, Xie Min didn't have such a temper, but today she was truly anxious.
Xie Min's temper was a little strange, making Tang Tianbao unable to fathom her. When the company was first established, Xie Min could be described as meticulous and meticulous. As the company's operations became faster and faster, the business side became bigger and bigger. Thereafter, Xie Min's temperament and identity changed. She was no longer the young girl who didn't understand anything anymore – even though she was only 18 years old now. She had transformed into a capable and quick-thinking female boss, and she had become completely mature in her speech and work.
Tang Tianbao grew more and more afraid of Xie Min. The relationship between them was growing more distant with each passing day. Ever since he had mentioned her as the ”evil woman”, he had lost all hope in Xie Min and his attitude towards her work had become more relaxed. Sometimes in the office, using the company's computer to see the Japanese action blockbuster.
What was the urgent matter this time that the Banshee had called?
Tang Tianbao carefully asked, ”Director Xie, what's wrong? I was asleep. ”She was not feeling well, so she took her medicine and went to sleep.
”No one asked me to call him three times in half an hour.” Xie Min said angrily.
”Oh. I'm really sorry, Director Xie. ” Tang Tianbao continued to show weakness. In front of the boss, the employees had no choice but to show weakness. Tang Tianbao couldn't be that free and easy to deal with because he had a manager who worked in the past. The manager was so bitter that he wished he were dead. If a person didn't have money, they wouldn't be able to live in this society. With ambition, starting a business is always a good thing, but the premise must be that the company that lives in someone else's company is learning to bow and bend its knees. Either you are a fuerdai, or there is no shortcut.
”Come to the company immediately.” Xie Min didn't say anything. She knew that she couldn't explain it over the phone.
”Thank you, Director …” Tang Tianbao wanted to say that he was really ill and that he was quite serious, so he hoped that his boss would understand that he had a temporary job for someone else. It was a pity that Tang Tianbao's wish could not be realized and would not be realized because Xie Min had angrily hung up the phone. She simply did not give Tang Tianbao any chance to explain himself.
Tang Tianbao threw the phone in his hand onto the bed as he mocked himself, ”A light injury won't cause any fire!”
Something really happened at the company. This morning, Xie Min had received a call from Flying Bird asking for the report of the cooperation project. Xie Min first found Li Bo. Tang Tianbao was already in charge of the project, but Li Bo said he didn't have a report on the cooperation project. He had never even seen that report before, let alone seen it somewhere.
Xie Min had an ominous premonition. Not only did she not learn anything from the ”Flying Bird” this time, she felt as though she had been deceived. Although Xie Min hadn't been in the business world for long, she had a keen brain and could tell that the problem was about to surface. However, she couldn't say exactly what had gone wrong, so she could only be cautious. She didn't want to make any mistakes while the company was trying to rise.
Tang Tianbao rushed over to the company in a flurry. He was too familiar with Xie Min's temper. She had become temperamental. As long as the boss was angry, everyone in the company would have a hard time, especially those employees who didn't listen to her. In an age when college students were like flies, in a society where unemployment was rising, no one dared to give up their jobs.
”Director Xie, you're looking for me?” Tang Tianbao had already forgotten to knock on the door as he barged into Xie Min's office. At that moment, he found Li Bo and Yu Meng inside.
