Liu Nier was still worried about whether it would have any bad influence on Su Man, so she wiped away her tears.
"But, Dr. Su, what if Lin Manman goes to sue you?"
"Will you lose your job?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Liping beside her.
No matter how slow Wang Liping was, she knew what it meant.
He waved his hands hurriedly and explained.
"I, I'm not here to steal Dr. Su's job."
"Director Zhang said he was worried that Dr. Su would be too busy to handle everything, so he asked me to help."
"I, I don't have the ability to replace Dr. Su!"
After hearing her words, the three of them finally felt relieved.
——————
Before leaving get off work in the evening, Liu Nier and her colleagues had already arranged a place for the kitten.
The cats were raised to be plump and well-behaved, so two workers immediately asked for two to take home.
The remaining one was left in the cafeteria by Lin Ziqiang, saying that it was to help catch mice.
After dark, Su Man, Liu Nier and Nong Shan left the factory together.
Shao Sanchun wanted to follow, but her husband and children at home were crying for food, so she had to go back first.
The three of them rode their motorcycles back to Su Man's office, and instead of going upstairs, they waited downstairs.
It was almost ten o'clock when Lin Manman returned home from dance rehearsal at the steel factory.
Everyone upstairs and downstairs was asleep, and it was pitch dark.
She went upstairs humming a song, took a shower, lay on the bed and turned off the lights.
I was groggy and about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, a shrill cat cry came from the window.
“Meow…”
In the quiet midnight, the cat's meow immediately woke Lin Manman up.
She sat up quickly and ran to the window.
I looked around but didn't see any trace of the wild cat.
It's winter now, so wild cats shouldn't be screaming in heat.
Lin Manman hissed, rubbed her arms and lay back down on the bed.
I just pulled the quilt over me and wanted to sleep.
Another sound: "Meow..."
This time, Lin Manman heard it clearly.
The sound came from the window, as if it was right under the window.
But, but she was on the fifth floor? Could that cat be able to climb walls and fly?
She stood up trembling, looked inside, but still saw nothing.
Then, there was a scratching sound at the door.
It sounded like a cat's claws scratching something, so Lin Manman bravely opened the door.
"who?"
The corridor was empty, not a single person was there.
There was another shrill scream outside the window at the back.
“Meow…”
Lin Manman's hair stood on end and she screamed and ran downstairs.
“Help, help…”
The security guard heard the noise and ran over with a flashlight. Lin Manman didn't care about anything else and rushed over to hug the man.
"ah……"
The security guard was startled and frantically tore off Lin Manman, who was as sticky as a piece of taffy.
"Let go! Let go! Or I'll call the police to arrest you, you female hooligan..."
Lin Manman refused to let go and pointed behind her tremblingly.
“Yes, yes…”
The security guard got angry and started shouting.
"There's a female gangster..."
The noise alarmed the people in the building. Every household turned on the lights and ran out with flashlights.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Lin Manman on the security guard.
"She, she really has a crush on the security guard?"
The security guard was embarrassed and angry: "I have a partner, I don't like her..."
As more people gathered, Lin Manman was not so scared anymore and quickly let go of the security guard.
"I'm not, I didn't, yes, yes..."
After a long time of thinking, no one dared to say there was a ghost.
They were afraid of being regarded as feudal and superstitious and being arrested and educated.
In the end, I could only grit my teeth and stamp my feet.
"Didn't you hear the cat meowing just now? It was right next to my window."
Everyone yawned, finding it a little funny.
"If you want to take advantage of the security guard, then do so. Who would believe this excuse?"
"You live on the fifth floor. What kind of cat can meow at your window? Could it be that cat can fly?"
Lin Manman couldn't explain herself, so she could only take everyone to her house.
"If you don't believe me, go and listen."
Everyone was woken up and had no choice but to follow her.
But after waiting in her room for a long time, I didn't hear any sound.
Now, Lin Manman can no longer clear herself of the blame.
Everyone shook their heads and turned to walk out.
"Tsk, what's wrong with young people these days? They just think about nonsense."
"You better be careful, don't let her take advantage of you like the security guard did."
The security guard looked even more nervous and turned around and left.
"So, from now on, if you need help, I won't come. Find someone else..."
In the end, my integrity is gone.
Everyone scattered in a swarm, and Lin Manman quickly chased after them.
"I don't……"
But no one listened to her and everyone went home.
Soon, everything became quiet and everyone fell asleep again.
Lin Manman finally felt a little sleepy and was just about to go to bed.
The shrill cat cry sounded again.
“Meow…”
As the shouting sounded, people outside started scratching at the door.
Lin Manman covered her ears and was so scared that she almost cried.
At this moment, Su Man and Liu Ni'er were standing on the fourth floor, holding a bamboo pole.
There was a tape recorder tied to the bamboo pole, and shrill screams were coming from it.
Nong Shan squatted at the door of Lin Manman's room and scratched the door with her fingernails.
After hearing Lin Manman's broken cry coming from the house, the three of them packed up their things and went home.
Before leaving, we made an appointment to continue tomorrow.
