Chapter One Hundred and Fifty: Something Feels Wrong (2/2)

“Thanks.” Xiao Yu was touched.

“Don’t mind the stupid kid. Let’s go sign the contract in another room.”

Xiao Yu: “……”

Shao Yue didn’t seem offended at all after being called a “stupid kid.” He still bounced happily around the young lady from HR. “Why bother going to another room? You can just sign it here. Yan Jin said that Brother Xiao brought the contract with him. A simple stamp is all that’s needed.”

Xiao Yu said, “Wait, wait??”

“Sure, then—” the HR lady said while placing the official seal on the table.

“Wait wait wait!” Xiao Yu extracted the contract from his bag and hurriedly said, “I think there’s an issue with the contract. Is there a mistake with the benefits?”

“Let me see.”

The HR lady extended her hand, and Xiao Yu passed the contract over.

However, before the contract could reach her hands, it was intercepted by the other person.

“What are you looking at? There’s nothing to look at! I personally oversaw the drafting of this contract, so it’s not possible that there’s a mistake. I say, you HR people really are too inefficient. There is a venerable guest here! If Yan Jin knew about your attitude, he’d fire you for sure.”

As Shao Yue was berating the HR lady, he casually grabbed the official seal left on the table by the HR lady and took both the contract and the seal to the coffee table. Stamp, stamp, stamp.

On the other hand, the previously tyrannical HR lady now looked terrified. When Shao Yue said that Yan Jin would fire her, her entire body trembled as if she fully believed Yan Jin would do something so illogical.

Xiao Yu was bewildered by the scene.

Ever since he stepped into YL, he had felt he had no control whatsoever of the events around him.

Shao Yue worked so quickly that by the time Xiao Yu realized what had happened, Shao Yue was already done stamping all the necessary places.

“Alright, sign here.” Shao Yue retrieved a pen from his pocket and put it into Xiao Yu’s hand.

“But, this contract…”

“There really is no mistake. Hurry up and sign. If there were a mistake, this contract would have never been released. If such an important contract were released with a mistake, it would be a career-ending accident for the entire HR department. How can there be a mistake?”

Xiao Yu stuttered, “B-but this…”

“Oh my god, would you look at the time! It seems like this HR miss has something that requires her to take a half day leave. It’s about time already.”

“But…”

“Hmm, I heard that Director Wang is recovering from a surgery for his ruptured spinal disc. It must be hard for him to stay standing for too long.”

“I’ll sign it.”

Something feels strange.

Xiao Yu couldn’t help but think this as he signed the contract.

As Xiao Yu numbly made his way out of room 310, Shao Yue cackled gleefully.

“Director Shao, was it really okay to do that?” The HR lady couldn’t help but ask. “He seemed like such a good young man.”

“What are you afraid of? These were Yan Jin’s orders. Or do you like being fired more?”

“I doubted those rumors before, but now it seems they were entirely correct. I really didn’t expect Chairman Yan would be that sort of person.”

The HR lady seemed completely shattered from her realisation of the chairman’s true nature .

……

Xiao Yu exited room 310 even more stiffly than when he’d entered YL.

“All done signing?” Director Wang asked.

“Mhmm, all done.” Xiao Yu nodded his head.

As he walked with Director Wang, Xiao Yu kept thinking about asking how much Director Wang’s salary was, but he feared he would be breaking his contract confidentiality clause. He could only keep the ever-growing doubt in his head.

*Sigh*, things really were so strange.

Xiao Yu’s soul wailed.

“Something wrong?” Director Wang felt something unusual and turned to look at Xiao Yu. “Are you nervous?”

“No, no. Many of them should be familiar faces,” Xiao Yu reluctantly admitted.
