Two people in the company resigned in succession, and the burden of work all fell on Xu Jinghao alone. The busy working life left her with almost no room to breathe, and the distance between her and Du Xian that she finally got closer to became alienated again.
Xu Jinghao was helpless about this. She even suggested to Lao Luo to recruit a few new people to share the pressure. But there is something wrong with Lao Luo's principle of selecting people. He doesn't want men, and he doesn't want women who are not good-looking. After half a month, he didn't recruit anyone. What's even more irritating is that although it was clearly agreed that Xu Jinghao would take over the position of deputy manager, Lao Luo kept pushing and pushing, and it has not been implemented until now. This old bastard has his own reasons, saying that he needs to investigate for a while now.
For the sake of her position, Xu Jinghao could only continue to grit her teeth. During this period, she worked overtime almost every day, and even had to work until midnight in severe cases. And Xu Jinghao knew very well that there would definitely be no overtime pay.
Although the days were busy, they were still peaceful. Xu Jinghao had almost forgotten Zhang Li's existence. Since her body recovered, she has never heard any strange noises or seen any so-called snakes. Xu Jinghao has determined that it was just a hallucination when she had a cold.
What she didn't expect was that something happened next that changed everything.
At night, the office building became deserted, and Xu Jinghao stayed in the company to work overtime as usual. As the time approached nine o'clock, Xu Jinghao pressed the last punctuation mark, sighed and lay down on the chair. The work was finally completed, but she was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she poured a glass of water and rested. In fact, even when I return home, I am still alone, which is not much different from that at the company.
At this time, Xu Jinghao suddenly thought of Du Xian. The two of them were in the same company and had never spoken much except about work matters. Xu Jinghao knew it was because she was too busy, so she secretly cursed Lao Guoguo for leaving all the work to her.
The water in the cup gradually turned cold, Xu Jing stretched herself and finally decided to go home.
The moment she stood up, she heard the long-lost strange sound again. Xu Jing panicked and sat back on the chair.
"This is just an auditory hallucination! It's just the sequelae of a cold." Xu Jinghao told herself.
The autosuggestion worked, and the office became quiet again. The only sound was the "ticking, ticking" sound of the clock on the wall and the footsteps in the corridor.
Footsteps! Xu Jing's heart beat fast. Who would come to the company at this time?
The answer was soon revealed. The office door creaked open, and the first thing that entered was the pungent smell of alcohol. Xu Jinghao covered her nose and saw a stooped and fat body walking out from behind the dark door. Even though she couldn't see the other person's face, Xu Jinghao had already recognized that the other person was Lao Guo Guo.
The light illuminated Lao Luo's red face, reflecting greasy light. Xu Jing looked a little disgusting but didn't dare to show it. She just said hello in a low voice, "Hello, Manager Luo."
Manager Luo didn't seem to hear Xu Jinghao's voice, or he didn't notice her presence at all. He ran straight to the water dispenser and poured a large glass of cold water first, then yelled cursingly: "Xia Baiyan, you... Bitch! What you eat, what you wear... nothing is mine! I'm so kind to you in vain, how dare you... "
Xu Jinghao's eyes widened and realized that she had heard something incredible! The Xia Baiyan that Lao Luo was cursing was none other than the legendary wife of Lao Luo. Xu Jinghao met her by chance. In contrast to Lao Luo's wretched appearance, Xia Baiyan turned out to be a beauty.
Xu Jinghao couldn't believe it at the time, but later she learned from her colleagues that Xia Baiyan seemed to be working in a big city on the southern coast before marrying Lao Luo. Usually when everyone talks about this, they all understand each other tacitly, and finally know what Xia Baiyan is trying to do. It's just that Lao Luo is rich.
In this case, it is not surprising that something like this happened.
Gossip is a woman's nature. Xu Jinghao could have sneaked away at this moment, but because she listened to a few more words, she was discovered by Lao Luo who turned around. When Lao Luo saw Xu Jinghao, his angry expression immediately turned into a lewd smile. He stumbled towards Xu Jinghao and said in a dirty voice: "Xiao Xu? As long as you are willing to listen." As for me... let alone the deputy manager, my property... is half of yours."
Xu Jinghao quickly dodged, but Lao Luo fell to the ground.
Feeling pain in his body, Lao Luo woke up a little and shouted at Xu Jinghao: "How dare you hide!"
Xu Jinghao had to apologize and said, "Manager Luo, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk!" Lao Luo's voice was frighteningly loud, "I'm very clear-headed! Help me up quickly!"
Xu Jing had no choice but to help Lao Luo to the chair. Lao Luo nodded with satisfaction, "It's better for you! That stinky woman, I will kill her sooner or later!"
Xu Jing heard it and laughed in her heart. She once saw Lao Luo climbing the stairs with her own eyes. He was panting like a dog just after climbing to the first floor. It was obvious that his body had been emptied by wine and sex. Not to mention killing, even in a fight, he is not necessarily a woman's opponent.
Although Lao Luo was very drunk, he could actually detect that Xu Jinghao was laughing at him. He said angrily: "How dare you underestimate me! You know, I am..."
When the words came to his lips, Lao Luo suddenly stopped and just stared at Xu Jing with a silly smile.
"What is it?" Xu Jinghao asked subconsciously.
Lao Luo's giggle turned into laughter, and then he became even more wanton. He grabbed Xu Jinghao's hand with one hand and was about to touch the other person's face with the other hand. No matter how well-mannered Xu Jinghao was at this time, she couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Lao Luo's face rudely.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Xu Jing was startled by herself. Lao Luo calmed down, staring at her with a pair of red eyes, and his nostrils were almost breathing fire.
Xu Jinghao was so frightened that she hurriedly apologized to Lao Luo.
"How dare you hit me!" Lao Luo hissed in a low voice, "I have done so much for you, how dare you hit me!"
"You do it for me?" Xu Jing smiled angrily, "What did you do for me? Did you take advantage of the opportunity to eat something while we were talking, or did you use the position of deputy manager to trick me into working hard for you?"
Lao Luo stood up with a leap, his whole face pressed against it, "Do you think it's really a snake? If it weren't for me! How could Zhang Li disappear so cleanly?"
"Snake? Zhang Li?"
The other party's words were like a thunder in his ears, and Xu Jinghao realized that there might be something more to Zhang Li's matter. She panicked and blurted out her thoughts, "What happened to Zhang Li?"
Lao Luo let out a sinister laugh and looked at Xu Jinghao with unspeakable evil eyes. He opened his arms and rushed over again while Xu Jing was distracted. Xu Jinghao failed to escape this time and was crushed to the ground by Lao Luo. But just after falling to the ground, Lao Luo made no next move. The clock on the wall "ticked" three times, and heavy snoring sounded in his ears.
Lao Luo fell asleep.
