Chapter 47 Bankruptcy
Late November.
The weather in Beijing and Huai'an is getting colder day by day. In the cold wind, the plane trees on the streets are beginning to turn yellow.
After several courses of treatment, Jiang Jibai's mood gradually became much more stable than before.
The symptoms of insomnia and chest tightness have been alleviated.
She went to Jiang Qingfu's house for dinner on the weekend.
Jiang Jibai has been drawing at home and forgot to put on makeup when going out. His complexion is much worse than before.
This scared Jiang Qingfu.
"Nuannuan, why do you look so bad? Are you under too much pressure at work recently?"
"I quit." Jiang Jibai walked in, changed her shoes, put her own shoes alone in the corner, and said calmly.
Qin Ting was briefly surprised and then looked at Jiang Qingfu.
Jiang Qingfu and Qin Ting looked at each other and asked, "Why did you suddenly quit your job?"
"Nothing, I just feel too stressed and don't want to do it anymore."
Seeing their worried expressions, Jiang Jibai said again, "Don't worry, I'm doing well as a freelance illustrator at home and can support myself."
"Freelance illustrator?" It was the first time Jiang Qingfu heard of this profession.
Qin Ting also showed a puzzled look.
Jiang Jibai explained the situation to them, and the two of them slowly calmed down.
"I have a few stable clients now, and I don't have any problems in life."
Jiang Qingfu nodded thoughtfully, "If you're bored at home, go out for a walk more often. Daddy always welcomes you."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Jibai replied calmly.
In fact, Jiang Jibai's current income is just enough to make ends meet, and the medical expenses were raised by several roommates.
She had never told Jiang Qingfu about her relapse. She had endured it all on her own for such a long time, and telling him now would only make them worry in vain.
She was even more embarrassed to ask Jiang Qingfu and the others for money.
Qin Ting currently has no stable job and is taking care of the children at home. She knows that Jiang Qingfu has a hard time too.
"Nuannuan." Jiang Qingfu lowered his head and hesitated for a moment. "You are not young anymore. You should also consider your personal problems. It will make us feel more at ease if someone is by your side to take care of you."
Seeing Jiang Qingfu suddenly bring up this topic, Qin Ting also agreed, "Yeah, don't blame Aunt Qin for saying it harshly. It's harder to find a partner if a girl is older. We should do this as soon as possible."
"You see, you are working from home now, so you have even fewer opportunities to meet people." Jiang Qingfu looked worried. "How about your Aunt Qin and I take care of it." Jiang Qingfu tried to speak as tactfully as possible.
Jiang Jibai knew that they wanted her to go on a blind date.
"No need, I don't want to look for it right now." Jiang Jibai put down the chopsticks in his hand and didn't want to continue this topic.
Jiang Qingfu looked at his daughter and recalled what happened several years ago.
I never mentioned it for fear of touching upon my daughter's scars.
Let the past be the past.
He concealed his worries and sighed.
Not long after Jiang Jibai returned home from dinner, Lin Shanshan came to her house with a dozen beers and two boxes of barbecue.
Lin Shanshan smiled and pulled over a cushion and sat down on the carpet. She then pulled Jiang Jibai to sit down as well.
"I have some great news for you."
Jiang Jibai sat down next to Lin Shanshan: "What good news?"
Lin Shanshan took a can of beer and opened it with a "sizzle" sound, looking shocked: "You really don't know?"
Jiang Jibai was bewildered, "I don't know."
"You're a bit out of touch with the news while working from home, haven't you seen anything on your Moments?"
Jiang Jibai was getting anxious because of her: "What is it? Please tell me quickly!"
Lin Shanshan picked up a skewer and said, "It's your previous company, Chuxin Design. It went bankrupt!"
Closed down?!
Jiang Jibai couldn't believe it.
It hasn't been long since she left, and the company's performance is not bad.
"Are you sure this news is true?"
Lin Shanshan crossed her legs. "A friend of a friend I met a while ago works there. He told me that the company suddenly couldn't get any business. No one was looking for them, so they went bankrupt. I guess the boss must have offended someone serious. Otherwise, how could it go bankrupt so quickly?"
"Isn't it a relief? I couldn't even describe how relieved I was when I heard the news."
Lin Shanshan angrily showed off a grilled sausage.
Could it be him?
Jiang Jibai couldn't help but think of a name.
It's a name that still makes me sad no matter how long it takes to think of it.
It was said that he had not appeared in her life for a month, not in person but by name.
It was as if he had really disappeared from her life.
Jiang Jibai took the wine that Lin Shanshan had just opened, pursed his lips and took a sip.
He held the wine in his hand and leaned it on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Shanshan glanced at her and said, "Isn't this news worth ten treatments? Honey, why do you still look unhappy?"
Lin Shanshan didn't know about her past with Gu Moyang.
Jiang Jibai came to his senses and smiled, "No, I was actually quite happy to hear that."
Lin Shanshan, "Your reaction time to happiness is too long. This is not okay. You have to drink a penalty."
Jiang Jibai had no choice but to take the wine and drink it.
Just as he took a sip, the beer in his hand was snatched away by Lin Shanshan again, "I was so happy that I forgot, you can't drink too much!"
Jiang Jibai: "..."
She was actually quite relieved that the shady company went bankrupt.
"Oh, right, let me show you something." Lin Shanshan took the phone and held it in front of Jiang Jibai. "It's in the top five trending searches on Weibo."
"It's obvious they're in the office," Lin Shanshan said, drinking and eating melon. "Fuck! This woman is so horny! She's almost shaking the chair apart!"
Jiang Jibai took a look and opened his eyes wide. Wasn't this video of Zheng Qianqian and Zheng Yuan doing unspeakable things in her office?
Was this also revealed?
Although the video was a bit blurry and key parts were blurred, she was very familiar with the office setting and the two people in the video.
The two of them were entangled in the office chair, intoxicated.
The comments below are almost all insults.
[I've never seen such a lewd woman.]
[Is this in the office? Holy shit!!! Getting paid to reproduce is so cool!!!]
[Why does it feel like a sow and a monkey are doing it? ]
[The description above is very apt. A monkey is obviously a licking monkey.]
【It brings shame to us men! 】
The woman wasn't much better, her whole body was shaking from all the moving. I felt a bit nauseous/vomiting.
"I know these two people." Jiang Jibai glanced away and stopped looking. "They were my former colleagues. The woman was my team leader, my immediate superior, and the man was in the same team as me."
"Fuck!!! Is it so exciting!!" Lin Shanshan grabbed Jiang Jibai's shoulders and shook him.
Seeing that Jiang Jibai didn't seem that surprised, Lin Shanshan paused, "You knew about this a long time ago, didn't you?"
"I know. My workstation is just across the wall from their office. How could I not know?" Jiang Jibai said helplessly. He felt disgusted just thinking about it.
"Then it feels like you are working at the door of a hotel room! How exciting!" Lin Shanshan complained.
"You didn't tell us about this huge news." Lin Shanshan complained to her again. "But it's not too late to tell us now, hurry up and tell us."
Jiang Jibai told her everything about Zheng Qianqian and Zheng Yuan.
Lin Shanshan was complaining from beginning to end, sighing, "Your previous company was really a mess."
After chatting with Jiang Jibai for a while, Lin Shanshan did not stay because she had to meet a client early the next morning.
After Lin Shanshan left, the air filled with the smell of barbecued skewers suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Jibai opened the chat box with Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan was the only one whose WeChat account she kept after leaving the company.
Until the day she resigned, Zhang Wanwan sent her many messages, saying that she couldn't bear to leave her, which made Jiang Jibai feel touched, sad and warm.
This little bit of warmth is precious in the face of human indifference.
Chuxin Design went bankrupt, which meant that Zhang Wanwan would also be unemployed. Jiang Jibai sent a message to ask about her recent situation.
