Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One: The Meeting of The White Cat and Hamster I (2/2)
There were many people surrounding them. Many were from the design department who came to enjoy watching the bustling scene. There were juniors whom Xiao Yu had promoted and guided before, and there were seniors who provided their great support to him before. However, towards Zhou Jinrong’s way of misrepresenting the facts, not only did they not raise any protest, they even started ridiculing Xiao Yu in an ear-piercing tone and laughed with malice.
“Such a person should have gotten lost earlier.”
“Director Lin is such a nice person, yet he bit the hand that fed him.”
“Didn’t they say he was a murderer? Why hasn’t he been arrested yet? Our security needs to look more carefully.”
Xiao Yu lowered his head. He did not even bother to retort to those baseless accusations.
He knew that all of them were just dignified excuses. Zhou Jinrong wanted to shift all the blame onto him alone to cover up for his negligence of his job as well as to hide the fact that he could not win against Yan Jin at all.
Even without this accident, he could no longer stay in SI. In fact, he had sensed it long ago and had just been avoiding purposely the fact.
The Star Designers Cup. The Star Designers Cup that he had thought would be the turning point for him, was in fact deadlock. Regardless of whether he had won or not, it would be a deadlock for which he would be blamed for eventually.
“For the sake of the former chief designer, we won’t be pursuing charges against you. I hope you won’t drag the company down with you. Seeing the contributions that you have made for the company for the past two years, you may receive half a year worth of salary. Our ties will end here.”
Will end here.
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth. He did not need to look up to see that disgusting face of Zhou Jinrong.
For such a person to be a worthy competitor of Yan Jin? For such a company to be comparable to Yan Jin’s YL?
Lose? What a fantastic loss.
He once thought that working in SI was the way to repay his teacher, but he had been wrong…
Because such a rotten company was not worthy of him doing so. He finally understood the reason why his teacher had left SI back then and brought him overseas to learn.
He had been making a mistake for far too long. His teacher probably could not tolerate to look any longer in the heavens.
It was twelve noon when Xiao Yu left the office.
Four hours ago, he had walked into SI’s main door, neat and tidy. Four hours later, his blouse which had two obvious tears probably couldn’t be used anymore. He had bruises on the edge of his lips as he was chased out of the company with his head lowered. For a moment, he wasn’t sure where he should go.
Xiao Yu strolled unhurriedly towards the direction of his house. On his way, he walked past the supermarket and bought many cans of beer while being stared at by countless gazes.
His car had been scrapped, and he had taken the public transport to work earlier that morning. The ride was about an hour or so. He had never attempted to walk home from the company back to his place. It would be the first time he had ever done so. What a life experience.
He opened a can of beer, as he walked and drank. The passerbyers who saw him had all avoided him.
Half an hour later, it started to rain.
It was undoubtedly not even two in the afternoon, but the sudden rainfall made the sky darken instantly.
The rolling lightning and loud thunder made Xiao Yu recall that night with rain bucketing down.
At that moment, he even wished like a good-for-nothing that he had not turned back into a human, that he could have forever remained as Yan Jin’s hamster who could be forever carefree and without worries, who never had to to walk alone on this road of sinister hearts.
The water droplets rolled off his cheeks like traces of tears.
Please, please save me…
Xiao Yu shook his head, as he couldn’t help but to mock at himself.
I’m starting to hear things.
Please, please save me…
Dafuq?
Xiao Yu looked back abruptly. He was in the middle of a small alley. Passersby were all heading to find shelter, and there was no one in sight within ten meters from him.
Please, please save me…
Dammit. Seriously?
Xiao Yu took two steps back as he started to cry internally.
Wasn’t he unfortunate enough? Car accident, accused of attempted murder, spending his half year worth of salary and losing his job, and now he was being forced to meet spirits?
There was something strange touching his pants. Xiao Yu suppressed his fear as he lowered his head extremely slowly, prepared to run away immediately.
A white cat who was completely drenched, looked pitifully at Xiao Yu as it tugged on his pants. Its light blue eyes were dull-looking.
“Meow.” Have I met you before?
Before Xiao Yu could react to the fact that he could understand a cat speaking human language, his attention was distracted by the bell on the white cat’s collar: “You are…”
