Chapter Thirty-Six: The Window of Opportunity 2 (Sending off the Boss Right After Starting the Job)
"If you shoot again, I'll kill her!" the assailant threatened loudly from behind the injured saleswoman.
Because the perpetrators were holding hostages, the police dared not act rashly.
Knowing the injured sales clerk couldn't go far, the assailant needed to find a new hostage. His gaze swept across the store, and after a moment, he fixed his sights on Yun Xin, striding towards her, intending to grab her.
At the same time, an accomplice collapsed to the ground, clutching an injury on his thigh.
One of the companions tried to help his injured partner up.
In the blink of an eye, a tall boy lunged at the assailant, attempting to subdue him.
However, the assailant reacted quickly and stabbed him in the back.
An accident happened.
The machete struck the tall boy's arm, but he was completely unharmed; there wasn't even a small cut on his arm.
The thug stared in disbelief, “You…”
Taking advantage of his distraction, Yun Xin picked up a chair and smashed it on his head.
The assailant collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.
Seeing this, the tall boy lunged forward and subdued the only robber who could move freely, while shouting, "Call the police!"
The store manager hurriedly pressed the emergency alarm.
The sales clerks were busy calling for an ambulance and dialing the police.
At this point, the situation was considered under control.
The shop door opened, and two police officers walked in and handcuffed the three robbers.
One of them grumbled, "Our wedding anniversary is coming up soon, and I wanted to buy my wife some gold jewelry. Why did this have to happen? Before I even got to the jewelry store, some pedestrians grabbed me and said that robbers had broken into the store..."
So that explains why the emergency alarm didn't go off, yet the police arrived so quickly.
The robbers were filled with remorse.
After all the commotion, the robbers were taken away by the police, the employee who was shot was sent to the hospital, and the tall boy and Yunxin were called to the police station for questioning.
"Name?"
"Yunxin".
"age?"
"twenty four."
Why were you at the accident scene?
"I was at an interview. The store manager had just decided to hire me and was about to show me around when the robbers broke in."
"The situation was extremely dangerous at the time. The assailants were armed with machetes. Under such circumstances, why did you think of resisting?"
Yunxin replied, "I'm naturally strong, and I practiced martial arts when I was young, so I know how to incapacitate someone. If I have the ability and the opportunity, I'll take action."
It is reasonable and logically sound.
The police quickly took Yunxin's statement and let her leave.
On the other side, unable to withstand the repeated questioning by the police, the robber confessed.
The man with the injured leg is named Zhang Qiang. He usually idles away his time and only came to rob people because he believed Lu Feng's lies.
Zhang Qiang tearfully recounted, "Lu Feng said the gold shop owner had a questionable background, so even if the shop was robbed, he wouldn't dare call the police. All we had to do was scare the employees, run away with the gold jewelry, and that would be the end of it."
“When the gold jewelry is melted down into gold bars, he will be responsible for selling the stolen goods and we will all become rich.”
The police officer demanded, "What nonsense are you spouting! How is the jewelry store owner not innocent?"
Zhang Qiang confessed honestly, "Lu Feng said that the gold shop owner secretly sold stolen goods for others. Whether it was gold ornaments stolen from tombs or gold bracelets of dubious origin, he was willing to accept them. When the furnace was turned on, the gold was melted and made into gold bars, and no one would know that these things were originally stolen goods."
Upon hearing this, the police officers exchanged glances, realizing that they had caught a big fish.
The sensational jewelry store robbery has come to an end.
According to police investigation, the ringleader, Lu Feng, has antisocial personality disorder. He deliberately instigated his accomplices to commit robbery and then used a hostage as a shield during a police chase, causing extremely negative consequences and earning him a heavy sentence.
The two accomplices were merely misled and did not harm anyone. Considering the relatively minor nature of their crimes, they will be given lenient sentences.
Logically, the matter should have ended there, but the online discussion has remained very high.
"I was there, and it felt a bit strange. When the main perpetrator pushed, the hostage was used as a human shield to take bullets, as if the criminals had a premonition that they were in danger."
The staff member also said, "The emergency alarm is quite well hidden. I was just about to quietly press it, but for some reason, I was immediately detected..."
"People who act bravely to help others are also strange. I heard from friends who were there that a boy was slashed with a knife but emerged unharmed. Is that even possible? How did he do it?"
At this point, the authorities came out to refute the rumors, saying that the robbers were not carrying real machetes, but just fake ones.
People then realized what was happening.
Two weeks later, a new hot topic emerged, and the robbery was gradually forgotten.
There are also some people involved who can never forget, such as Yunxin.
On one hand, the panel notification reads: "Congratulations to the player for successfully surviving instance number 123059—'The Gold Shop Robbery'."
[This pass rating is "B".]
No attribute bonus will be awarded if an S or higher rating is not obtained.
On the other hand, Yunxin never expected that after the robbery, the boss would actually go to prison with the robbers to work on a sewing machine.
It is said that this was thanks to the robbers' tip-off.
Following the leads, the police discovered that the jewelry store owner was indeed involved in illegal activities, so they arrested him as well.
Ultimately, the shop was shut down, the owner and the robber went to jail side by side as neighbors, and Yunxin lost her job.
"Isn't this a bit too outrageous?" Yun Xin was speechless.
I got the job and saw my boss off as soon as I started.
People who work for others: It doesn't matter what kind of boss they are, what matters is making money.
She works part-time: money isn't important, what's important is getting rid of the boss.
At this moment, Yun Xin didn't even think about trivial things like "have I been encountering more and more superpowered people lately?" Her mind was filled with thoughts like, "This job is really taking a toll on the boss!"
After resting for two more days, Yunxin received a call from General Manager Yang's wife, "Xiaoyun, I heard you resigned? Do you want to work for me?"
Yunxin remained silent.
She actually had a very good impression of Mr. Yang's wife. If she were an ordinary person, she would have accepted without hesitation. The problem is, given her tendency to cause trouble, accepting the invitation would be like repaying a debt of gratitude with ingratitude.
"I'd like to take a break for a while," Yunxin said vaguely.
“It’s alright! Come over whenever you’ve rested enough,” Mrs. Yang said readily. “I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity when I see you! I guess that’s what people call ‘getting along well.’ I wouldn’t even bother with anyone else.”
What does it mean to be unable to refuse such hospitality? This is it.
Yun Xin feigned difficulty and made another excuse, "Madam... does President Yang know about this? I stopped him from drinking before, and he seemed to have some complaints about me..."
"Old Yang survived this time thanks to you. If he dares to do anything to you, I won't let him get away with it!" Yang's wife said fiercely. "Don't be afraid, come on over, I'll take care of everything."
Yunxin didn't know what to say.
Mr. Yang's wife continued to persuade him, "Our family runs a chain of supermarkets. You can come and work as a purchasing agent. You only need to be responsible for purchasing. Isn't that better than drinking and negotiating business with people every day?"
"Old Yang said that you knew he was a customer, yet you still dared to stop him from drinking, which shows that you are not afraid of power and dare to speak the truth."
“He used to treat those who covered for him and didn’t stop him from drinking as his own people. But after this trip to the hospital, he’s cleared his head and finally knows who really cares about him.”
"What's the use of having a lot of money if you don't have health? He's just confused."
As Mr. Yang's wife continued talking, she started nagging about her husband again.
Yunxin, being a member of the family, understands her own situation.
The incident of being stopped from drinking coincided with a perforated stomach that same day, requiring an ambulance ride to the hospital. This series of coincidences led to praise for "not being afraid of power."
If you stop someone from drinking and nothing happens that day, that's a different story... The feedback you'll likely get is that they "don't know how to read people's expressions."
"I've invited you so sincerely, so please do me the honor," said Mr. Yang's wife.
Having said that, it would be impolite to refuse any further.
Yun Xin smiled and said, "Since Madam has so kindly invited me, then I will not refuse."
"That's the right way to think!" Mrs. Yang said excitedly. "Whenever you're free, I'll arrange for you to start your job."
"Then I won't rest, I'll go to work tomorrow."
The next morning, Mr. Yang's wife personally brought Yunxin into the company.
“We’re a general supermarket, selling everything from home goods to household items. Usually, Lao Yang selects the suppliers, and then the purchasing department places the orders. Because there are so many different kinds of things, we have a dedicated purchasing department with three employees so far, plus you, that makes four.”
"Life isn't hard, it's just that you have to be meticulous in your work."
"If you encounter any difficulties at work, tell me."
Mr. Yang's wife took Yunxin around for a while, and then brought her to the purchasing department. "This is the new employee, Yunxin. Let's get to know each other. We'll be colleagues from now on."
The three employees, who were working on their computers, stopped what they were doing and looked up when they heard this.
"Cough, cough!" The only female purchasing agent choked for a while and coughed for a long time.
Mr. Yang's wife introduced Liu Yongchang to Yunxin, saying, "Liu Yongchang is a long-time employee of the company, having worked there for over ten years."
"Yin Hang just graduated from university this year and has been with the company for four months."
“Ning Lu joined the company through campus recruitment, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.”
"Hello," Yun Xin greeted them politely.
At this moment, a man rushed over to find Mr. Yang's wife and said that he had a problem.
Mr. Yang's wife said to Yun Xin, "You familiarize yourself with the environment first, I'll go see what's going on."
"good."
With Mr. Yang's wife gone, everyone else felt much more relaxed.
Liu Yongchang asked first, "How come you were brought in by the landlady?"
Yunxin said, "The boss is a nice person. I only helped her with a small favor, and she helped me find a job."
So that's how it is.
Liu Yongchang warmly invited Yun Xin to sit down next to him and give her a tour, saying, "Purchasing is generally responsible for daily purchases. The company requires that there is a standardized format for ordering. You'll understand once you see me do it."
"Okay, then I'll learn it right away." Yun Xin humbly accepted the instruction and studied diligently.
Ning Lu faced the computer, pretending to be very engrossed in her work. In reality, half an hour had passed, and the progress bar remained frozen in place.
There is no other reason.
Ning Lu couldn't concentrate at all; her mind was filled with one thought—how could she run into the same person she met at her part-time job at night during the day at work? What kind of twisted fate is this!
During lunch break.
After finishing her meal, Yunxin prepared to return to her office.
Halfway there, a hand reached out and, without saying a word, pulled her into a corner.
Yun Xin saw it early in the morning, but didn't sense any danger, so she didn't resist.
In the shade.
Ning Lu was inexplicably anxious. "Why are you working here?"
Yun Xin looked completely innocent. "Didn't I say that the boss's wife offered to introduce me to a job?"
"About that night..." Ning Lu hesitated, unsure how to begin.
"That night?" Yun Xin blinked. "You mean, the time you went out for a walk, unfortunately ran into bad guys, and had to go to the police station to give a statement late at night?"
Before Ning Lu could react, she comforted her, "Don't take it too seriously. People are like this when they're down on their luck."
Ning Lu was worried that her evening part-time job would be discovered by those around her, which would have a negative impact.
As a result, Yunxin casually covered up the matter.
Ning Lu was deeply moved.
Waaah, she's such a good person.
