Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Emotional Life of Social Animals
Chen Run knew that she was very strong, and she didn't want to fight with Qian Mu. After she pushed the man and made him stagger, she was startled and hurried forward to help him.
At the moment she and Qian Mu looked at each other, the blood in her body stopped flowing for a moment, and then rushed to her heart at an abnormal rate.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, her vision went dark, and without warning her body softened and she fell to her knees.
C-level superpower, blood manipulation.
Qian Mu glanced at this ignorant ant with contempt, stepped over her and walked towards Chi Shuangliu, but his feet suddenly tightened.
Chen Run covered his heart with one hand and tightly grasped his ankle with the other, gritting his teeth and refusing to budge.
Qian Mu's face changed, and he pushed his glasses up to hit her hard.
No one in the room noticed that Chi Shuangliu's fingers moved slightly.
Only Bai Miao, who had been staring at the surveillance camera, saw it. Her face changed drastically and she immediately took action before Chi Shuangliu.
B-level ability, psychological comfort.
In an instant, everyone felt a warm current blowing through their hearts, and their originally restless emotions calmed down instantly. Even Qian Mu forgot to take action, and his expression softened a little bit.
The psychological soothing effect didn't last long. Bai Miao turned on the voice function and shouted into the room, "What are you doing? This is the company. Do you have any rules?!"
Qian Mu's face changed slightly, Shen Run's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he stood up by holding the windowsill.
Bai Miao went straight to the culprit and said, "Qian Mu, come to my office. I have something to tell you."
Qian Mu looked indignant, but Bai Miao was the highest here in terms of both ability level and company position. He suppressed his anger, glanced at Chen Run with a bad expression, and then turned to go to the office on the basement floor.
He looked displeased. "Team Leader Bai, you've seen that this ordinary person has seriously interfered with my work. Is it okay for me to teach her a lesson?"
Bai Miao also realized at this moment that Chen Run was really just an ordinary person - if he was really an S-level expert, he would have been crushed to death by Qian Mu long ago.
She didn't have time to think about why Lu Kuo sent an ordinary person who knew nothing about people with special abilities. Seeing Qian Mu's aggressive attitude, she lowered her tone and said, "Is she seriously interfering with your work? Then your sudden adjustment of the medical examination plan seriously threatens our lives! Have you considered what the consequences will be if Chi Shuangliu becomes aggressive?"
Qian Mu was speechless for a moment. Bai Miao didn't care what he was thinking. As long as Chi Shuangliu was safe and sound and there were no riots, and she could go to work and get paid as usual, she gave the final decision directly: "Alright, let's not make a big fuss. Let's proceed with the physical examination according to the original plan. You can take the new plan to Chairman Lu and the board of directors for review and wait for their approval before making any further decisions."
Qian Mu looked furious. Bai Miao glanced at him coldly, "It's illegal for a person with superpowers to attack an ordinary person. I'll pretend I didn't see it this time. You don't want the government inspection team to take you away for questioning, do you?"
Qian Mu knew that he was in the wrong, and his arrogance subsided a little. He was finally willing to cooperate honestly and completed the physical examination of Chi Shuangliu under the strict supervision of Shen Run.
After their team finished their work, it was time for lunch. After sending them away, Bai Miao felt relieved and began to think about how to comfort Chen Run.
There is another law regarding people with special abilities, which states that their existence must be kept secret from ordinary people. Qian Mu suddenly took action today, and Shen Run must have noticed it. Bai Miao was thinking about how to find an excuse to get away with it, so he invited Shen Run to the cafeteria for lunch.
She said tentatively: "This morning, I noticed that you felt a little uncomfortable in your heart, is it..."
If she hadn't said anything, Shen Run would have forgotten about it. After a pause, she said, "Maybe it's because I stayed up late last night. Something happened at my place yesterday." She waved her hand generously, "Sister Bai, don't worry about it. I had a roommate in college who liked to stay up late. Every time she did, her heart would feel uncomfortable."
Bai Miao: “…”
No matter how she looked at him, she felt that Shen Run was wise and shrewd. Now she finally understood that this man was a real idiot.
She moved her mouth speechlessly, changing the subject, tentatively asking, "You appear to be quite young. What did you do before? And why did you end up working at the parasol company?"
Lu Kuo would not do anything useless, and I don’t know what he wants to do by putting an ordinary person next to Chi Shuangliu?
Chen Run was completely innocent. She answered whatever was asked, honestly, "I used to work for one of Sun Umbrella's outsourcing companies. Boss Lu saw that I studied nursing in college and had some knowledge of Sun Umbrella, so he hired me to take care of the patients."
This was quite interesting. Bai Miao's originally cold and listless expression brightened up, and he asked with interest, "Were you poached, or did you leave first and then join Sun Umbrella?"
"I resigned from my previous company." Seeing that she was about to ask, Chen Run answered immediately: "The management of that outsourcing company was chaotic, and the female boss's boyfriend was parachuted into our department as a leader."
She pouted: "That guy is not a good person. He spoke dirty words to me and was full of nonsense. I squeezed him on the spot, and he went to tell our boss that I was trying to seduce him by relying on my beautiful looks. Our boss believed the slander and disliked me. My colleagues also excluded me." Because of her special superpowers, Bai Miao was well-known among the superpowers. She was not interested in the love, hatred and resentment of ordinary people. She was about to change the subject when the place on her wrist that was cursed by Chi Shuangliu suddenly burned.
She was stunned for a moment before she understood what Chi Shuangliu meant... He wanted to continue listening?
Why are you, an evil god, joining in the fun? Bai Miao complained silently in his heart, a little surprised by Chi Shuangliu's attention to Shen Run, and continued to ask: "So? You resigned because of sexual harassment and unfair treatment?"
"...That's not the case." Chen Run's mouth twitched, a little embarrassed: "Once I saw that pretty boy dragging a female colleague who is usually introverted and honest to the toilet. I tried to stop him for a while..."
"And then you were fired?"
There was a hint of sympathy in Bai Miao's voice. After all, she was a woman and could empathize with such things.
"It's not because of this..." Chen Run felt a little guilty, and his voice was a little lower: "I... uh... maybe I used too much force to stop him. He broke two ribs and his right arm was fractured..."
Bai Miao: “…”
Although the pretty boy had forced her to commit indecent assault first, she herself was also likely to have committed the crime of intentional injury. The female boss was afraid of the bad impact on the company, so she did not dare to report the case and only asked Chen Run to pay for the medical expenses. In the end, the medical expenses were about 60,000 yuan. She did not have that much money on hand, and did not want to bow to her family, so she gritted her teeth and endured it. Therefore, she borrowed an online loan for emergency purposes, and the interest has now compounded to more than 100,000 yuan.
Fortunately, she has found a good job now. I don’t know when she will be able to pay off her foreign debt. It’s really worrying.
Chen Run opened up and couldn't help but continue to ramble, "After I received the compensation, my boss found a random excuse to fire me. Not only did he not give me any compensation, he didn't even pay my overdue wages. I was so angry that I sought free legal aid and applied for labor arbitration, but I don't know if I can get my money back."
It's really not easy for young girls these days. Bai Miao felt a little sorry for her. She offered advice as a senior in the workplace: "I think it's best for you not to continue with the arbitration. After all, you have evidence against the other party. Yes, the other party molested the female colleague first, but you also injured her. Forced molestation is punishable by detention at most, while intentional injury could result in a prison sentence. It's better to just let it go."
Chen Run looked a little serious. "But I don't think I was wrong. He pretended to be drunk and dragged someone to the bathroom during the dinner. Who knows if he wanted to molest me or have sex? Besides, I just pushed him in a hurry, and he rolled down the stairs by himself. I don't think I hurt anyone intentionally."
She said stubbornly, "Even if I hurt someone and the police came to arrest me, I'd accept it. But I didn't have any problems at work. Why did she fire me like that? Just for this, I'm going to fight her to the end!"
Bai Miao wanted to persuade her a few more times, but when he met her clear eyes, he was speechless for a moment.
The burning pain in my wrist seemed to be sensed and stopped as well.
Bai Miao chatted with her for a few more words, and the two returned to the base together.
The afternoon was calm, and Shen Run was busy until the end of the day. As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the science and technology park, the feeling of being stared at appeared again. She looked around again, but still found nothing.
As soon as she opened the door of the old, run-down apartment, she saw several boxes of washed fruit on the table. Fang Yi was sitting on the sofa. When she saw her come back, she immediately stood up and said, "Xiao Run, you're back?"
She tried hard to pretend nothing had happened: "I bought some fruits that you like, they are all very sweet, do you want to try them?"
The policewoman explained to her the whole cause and effect of the incident. When she went to the police station to take a statement as the victim, she saw Chen Chao again. She had to believe that she had really met a scumbag. She cried and complained for a whole day, and finally she remembered Chen Run, and thought that her attitude last night seemed a little bit excessive.
Her family was well-off, and when she was friends with Shen Run, she always took it for granted that he should flatter her. So she was too embarrassed to apologize for the moment, so she spent money to buy some things for Shen Run as a tactful way of expressing her apology.
Unexpectedly, Shen Run just glanced at her and went back to the bedroom without saying a word.
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "You are not still angry about what happened last night, are you? I said it was a misunderstanding..."
The answer she got was the sound of a door slamming shut.
Chen Run had neither the mood nor the time to deal with her, so she contacted the legal aid lawyer she had previously hired to consult about labor arbitration.
The lawyer responded quickly, listing a series of documents, evidence and certificates that she needed to submit. Because she was from another place, there were more procedures to go through.
Chen Run felt a headache after seeing this and instinctively wanted to ask the local Fang Yi. Suddenly she remembered that they had broken up. She hesitated for a moment and typed carefully to consult Senior Xu who had taken good care of her before.
Senior Xu was still enthusiastic about her. He quickly sent her a long voice message explaining the procedures for handling the application. At the end, he asked, "Are you free this weekend? Let's go out for a drink tonight?"
After typing this, he added rather ambiguously: "Let's talk about our business."
This is almost explicit.
Seeing his invitation, Shen Run wanted to agree, but when he saw the last sentence with clear meaning, he was stunned.
She had a good impression of Senior Xu, but she didn't expect him to advance the relationship so quickly.
But she didn't hesitate much and quickly replied with an "OK".
She's really been a little tired lately.
Her mother had no status in the family and liked to complain about herself. Her father didn't care much about her since she was a child. When she was in her teens, she still wore her brother's old clothes and had a tomboy hairstyle to go to school. She didn't know how to wear a bra even after she grew up. After being ridiculed by her classmates, she took a piece of cotton cloth to wrap her chest. She didn't know how to wear underwear until she was fourteen or fifteen years old. The underwear she wore was deformed. She was stubborn and couldn't speak. She didn't have many good friends since she was a child.
I had a lot of fun with my five other roommates in college, but after graduation, we all went our separate ways. The contact gradually went from three times a week as agreed to once a month. Now there has been no activity in the WeChat group for three months.
It was so hard to make a good friend, but Fang Yi didn't take her seriously at all.
Sometimes she wanted company, wanted to chat with someone and talk to them, but she couldn't find anyone suitable after searching through her circle of friends - so today she couldn't help but pour out her troubles to Bai Miao for a long time.
Senior Xu was very enthusiastic towards her and helped her a lot, and she also had a good impression of him. In that case, wouldn't it be okay to develop a romantic relationship?
Just as she pressed the send button, she suddenly felt a cold and sticky feeling on her back.
The feeling of being locked in and watched reappeared, stronger than ever.
The sight moved slowly up her back and silently climbed up her neck.
