Chapter 32 Zhou Yuan Got in Trouble Again (1/2)
”You’re home.” Hardly had I closed the door when Yan's voice floated out from the mirror. The latest variety show was on TV. Obviously, Yan was watching TV again.
”Right.” I took off my shoes, unable to stop thinking. Only after I opened the fridge and took a tin of cold Coke did I feel better.
”Hey— —” Yan lowered his head as he played games and talked. He was not watching TV, but listening to the TV.
”I'm so sleepy. I don't want to say anything right now.” I was afraid that Yan would ask me about Avalokitesvara. I knew If he asked me, I would tell him everything. So, I interrupted him.
”Alright, I just want to ask you to call the maintainer. The TV has been turning on automatically recently, as if there is a ghost in it. Oh, I'm a ghost, ”Yan looked at the television, completely ignoring me, as if I was the one who didn't exist in this room, “OK, let's talk about it another day. These programs are interesting. Don’t blame me for wasting your electricity. ”
“Wasting my electricity? Hehe, I don't care.” I smiled wryly and went to sleep. Yan did not ask me any more questions. He just watched a comedy show in the mirror all night. He was so happy that he had almost forgotten about his current situation. I was a little envious of him now. Facing such a big difficulty he could laugh it off. In his words, now that he’s got the worst cards, he should continue to play them well, and there might be surprises.
It was a pity that I didn't know how to play cards, nor did I have Yan's mentality. I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep at all. It was almost six o 'clock in the morning when I send a message to my manager to tell him I would be late.
Anxiously, I sent a WeChat message to my manager. After that, I laughed with self-mockery. Just one day ago I was standing on the Wind-Fire Wheel and subdued Hong Hai’er, the Great Demon, but I still had to punch in at work and ask for leave and worry about being late when I came back.
I didn’t get up until noon. After washing up in a daze and having lunch, I went to the company. Hardly had I checked my emails when Liu Shuai rushed over in a hurry and whispered to me, “damn, Zhou Yuan got in trouble.”
I said impatiently as I opened an email, ”what could have happened to him? Did he break a vase or accidentally hit a colleague? He has such a good temper that he smiles at everyone he meets. ”
Bang! Liu Shuai closed my notebook and looked at me seriously. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw all the colleagues around looking at us, so he pulled me into the conference room.
”Zhou Yuan might get fired.” Liu Shuai closed the door and said.
I was stunned, looking at Liu Shuai in a daze. I couldn’t believe it. ”That’s bullshit! Even though Zhou Yuan's designs were so awful before—” I peeked outside of the conference room to make sure there was nobody else, then I lowered my voice and said, ”he didn’t get fired. Now he has made great progress. He can't be dismissed. Maybe he got a promotion. ”
