Chapter 116 Jinjiang Debut
Xia Yu was moved again. She hugged Daju's head and kissed him hard: "Baby, you are so cute. I want to kiss you to death!"
The big orange cat also raised his head proudly, rubbed his head against Xia Yu's chin, and meowed in response to his master.
"You'd be cuter if you could lose some weight!" Xia Yu added.
Daju's face suddenly fell, and he turned around and faced Xia Yu with his butt.
"Ahem," Xia Yu asked shyly, "Master, I often say bad things about it, so will it say bad things about me?"
"Yes!" Bai Mian gave an affirmative answer, "It thinks you are stingy and a mean person."
Xia Yu's eyes widened: "I'm stingy? That's nonsense!"
She picked up the big orange cat and asked it face to face: "Hey, what makes you say I'm stingy? The cat food and canned food I buy for you are all hundreds of dollars. I also buy your vaccinations and deworming medicine on time. There are countless toys and scratching posts at home. Even so, you still think I'm stingy?"
The big fat orange made a dissatisfied sound, and Bai Mian translated for it: "It said that you always eat snacks behind its back and never share the delicious food with it."
Xia Yu explained helplessly: "Please, baby, I have told you many times that those are human food, kittens can't eat them, eating them will increase the burden on the kidneys. Can't you understand human words? Why do you still misunderstand me?"
The big orange dog wagged its tail and turned its face away, deliberately not looking at Xia Yu.
Bai Mian: "It can selectively understand human language. If you say something it doesn't like, it will choose not to understand."
"Ah?" Xia Yu was surprised and patted Daju's butt. "You are too cunning!"
The big orange one licked his lips and smiled smugly.
Xia Yu thought of another question: "Master, Daju has been talking to me more often recently. Does he want to tell me something? Is he feeling unwell?"
When Xia Yu mentioned this, Daju's expression instantly became serious. It sat upright on the table, staring at Bai Mian, as if hoping that Bai Mian would translate for it as soon as possible.
Bai Mian also became serious. She said slowly: "Da Ju wants to tell you that someone entered your room when you were away."
"Ah?" Xia Yu was shocked. "That's impossible. I rented an entire apartment in Beijing. I don't share it with anyone. Usually, no relatives or friends come to visit me. Who would go to my room? Could it be a thief?"
Then she denied her guess: "No, my things are all there, nothing valuable is missing, it must not be a thief."
But then, Xia Yu fell into a deeper fear: "It would be even worse if he wasn't a thief. This person sneaked into my house but didn't take my things. So his target can only be me. I am a single woman and the easiest target. What if he sneaks in while I'm asleep and attacks me..."
Bai Mian hurriedly interrupted her guess: "Wait, don't be afraid, it's not what you think, this man is not a pervert, he is not going for your looks."
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, that's good, I was scared to death, this person is not after money or sex, why would he sneak into my house, is it to pet the cat?"
Everyone was amused. Bai Mian said seriously, "No, his target was something very valuable, and he has already got it."
Xia Yu was stunned: "Valuables? Master, I just said that none of the valuables in my house are lost. My watch, gold necklace and laptop are all there. Apart from that, there is nothing valuable in the house. What exactly are you referring to?"
Bai Mian reminded: "What's inside your computer?"
Xia Yu thought about it and suddenly had an idea: "Oh my God, he wants to steal the materials in my computer! There are many original videos of variety shows in it, and they haven't been post-processed yet!"
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Some elderly ladies, not knowing the seriousness of the matter, asked curiously:
"Variety shows are made for people to watch. What's the point of him stealing that?"
"Yeah, won't we be able to see it on TV after a while?"
"Could it be that you want to watch the variety show so badly that you can't wait?"
"After he stole it, the original film might have leaked on the Internet. I haven't even done the skin refining yet, but you can still see the wrinkles on the stars' faces clearly. And I haven't done any editing, so the quality of some stars will be exposed," Xia Yu grabbed his scalp in despair. "This is terrible, this is terrible, this is really a disaster, my team leader will definitely scold me to death!"
"Your team leader won't have the chance to scold you, because the company will directly fire you. After all, this incident is indeed your responsibility and you have violated company regulations." Bai Mian said mercilessly.
Xia Yu was also in a dilemma: "Yes, I know the company doesn't allow us to take the original film home, but I have no choice. Guo Xiangxiang is really hard to please. She is obviously over 50 years old and has wrinkles all over her face, but she insists on promoting herself as an ageless goddess and a god-given gene. As a result, we, the post-production staff, have to help her remove the wrinkles on her face frame by frame."
"That's not the worst part. The worst part is that she loves to torture people! She's the most difficult client I've ever met. Every time we finish a video, her team will have a staff member responsible for reviewing it. They will watch the video over and over again to check if there are any wrinkles on her face. Once she finds a wrinkle, she will call and scold us staff members. Do you know what time she likes to call? Three o'clock, three in the morning!"
"After scolding us, she, a big star, can have a good sleep, but we workers have to drag our tired bodies to work the next day. I really hate her. I want to vomit when I see her face!"
Xia Yu cursed to himself and then got back to the point: "Because Guo Xiangxiang always likes to call me at three in the morning and ask me to make changes immediately, I can only copy the original film to my computer so that I can work anytime and anywhere. I swear to God, I did this just to work overtime better! But I didn't expect this to happen. Now that I have caused such a big mess, I will definitely lose my job. Sigh!"
Hearing Xia Yu say this, the onlookers present couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. After all, this job does not sound easy, and Guo Xiangxiang is also a well-known veteran actress who is usually friendly in public. No one would have thought that she is such a person in private.
Everyone whispered for a while, and Xia Yu cried helplessly. She wiped her tears and said, "Once the original film is leaked, it will be over. I will be banned by the entire industry. Not only will my current company not want me, but I will not be able to find a job in the entire capital. I can only pack up and go back to my hometown..."
Bai Mian crossed his arms and said, "But the original film hasn't been released yet, how can you give up now?"
"Yes!" Xia Yu raised his head, as if he saw a ray of hope. "The original film has not been leaked yet. Everything is still in time! This person may have copied the original film just for himself, or, maybe he wants to negotiate with me? Master, please tell me, who is this person? Where is he now?"
Bai Mian gave a hint: "This person is right next to you."
