Chapter 33 Quarrels Led to Troubles (2/2)

”Why not?” Zhou Yuan asked him expressionlessly.

……

I understood why Liu Shuai didn't know how to describe this matter to me at first. It was an accidental trouble out of quarrels. I thought for a moment, then asked Liu Shuai, “so the director really wants to fire Zhou Yuan?”

Liu Shuai shook his head first, then nodded, “he has been talking with the HR manager since he came back.”

”Shit…” I sighed, ”does this have anything to do with Zhou Yuan's soul leaving his body?”

”Absolutely!” Liu Shuai shouted. He needed to vent his feelings, so he transferred his anger on me, ”I heard that after a soul leaves the body, the person will change. But I didn’t know that a person without his soul was not even a walking dead, but just a machine, a machine that operates very fast and makes no mistake. But he was, well, completely …”

I thought about the word, “completely impersonal?”

”Exactly!” Liu Shuai agreed, ”everyone says that we developers have a low EQ. Judging from the way Zhou Yuan acted at lunch today, I can tell that his current EQ is in a negative value. If he continues to be like this, he won't even have to wait for forty-nine days but get himself killed in a few days.”

As we were speaking, someone opened the door and came in. It was the director. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Liu Shuai froze for a moment and then said, ”Lao De, is this your conference room? ” Then he motioned me to go out with him.

However, the director closed the door and said, “I’m here for you guys. Take a seat, let's talk about Zhou Yuan.”

Look! Speak of the devil and he just appeard. I had no other choice but to sit down with Liu Shuai, waiting for the director to speak.

The director sat down, looked out of the window, and didn't say anything. Liu Shuai and I felt awkward. The conference room was extremely quiet. We could only faintly hear the sounds from outside.

After a while, I thought that I should say something for Zhou Yuan. Before I could speak, the director said, ”I think what Zhou Yuan said makes some sense.”

”What?” Liu Shuai and I looked at each other, “his words make some sense?”

”Like he said that even a broken watch tells the correct time twice a day,” he suddenly laughed when he said that, ”this kid is really talented. If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have realized that I have left others with such an impression when judging industry trends. ”

”Yes, that’s right.” Liu Shuai hurriedly nodded his head. The director looked at him. He realized that he was wrongly nodding, so he immediately stopped.

”You guys feel the same way?” the director asked sharply.
