Chapter 036 Jinjiang First Release
After the gossip was over, a large amount of discussion floated across the live broadcast room.
[It’s so scary. The shadow that campus bullying brings to people lasts a lifetime.]
[She deserves it. This is the fate of a wicked person like her. Well done, big brother!]
[What a pity! If Zhao Xiaoai had not encountered campus bullying, she would have had a happy life...]
【As a mother of a child, I hope there will be no more school bullying in the world! 】
The second fortune telling had just been completed, and before Bai Mian called the next person, a handsomely dressed boy came up and said, "Hey, Master, is it my turn? I'm the third fortune teller today!"
Bai Mian was about to put her hand on the boy's wrist, but suddenly hesitated and asked, "Are you the third one? I remember that the three chosen fate masters today are all women."
The boy shook his head, chuckled, and said nothing.
Lame Brother warned: "Young man, don't play tricks like this. You'll be careful of backlash if you try to take advantage of other people's opportunities!"
The boy was a little embarrassed by what they said. Just when he was feeling awkward, a thin girl ran into the store. When she saw the boy sitting in front of the examination table, she shouted in surprise: "A Peng, is it my turn? I just went to the toilet, why are you sitting there?"
The boy gave up his seat with a playful smile and said to Bai Mian in a coy tone: "I just wanted to test whether you have real skills. Hehe, the master is indeed a master, and his eyesight is not bad!"
Lame Brother snorted coldly: "Does our Little God of Wealth need you to test him? If you love testing so much, why don't you make the test papers?"
The girl who was late came forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, Master, don't be angry, my name is Su Shan, this is my boyfriend A Peng, he is like this, a dead straight man, can't talk, don't bother with him!"
Bai Mian didn't care too much and said calmly: "Since the third hexagram is you, please sit down."
Su Shan did not sit down immediately, but rubbed his hands and asked anxiously: "Master, I'm sorry, I want to ask, this ten yuan consultation fee... can I pay it with Huabei?"
Lame brother spat out a mouthful of hot tea: "Pfft - girl, you can't even take out ten dollars, right?"
Su Shan's face flushed. Bai Mian touched Que Ge's arm, signaling him to be more careful with his words. Que Ge quickly covered his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I said something wrong, sister, don't take it to heart. Everyone has difficult times."
Su Shan's eyes were bright, waiting for Bai Mian to speak. Bai Mian thought for a moment and said, "The so-called pulse diagnosis fee is just a kind of sincerity. If you really have difficulties, I am willing to diagnose your pulse for free."
"Great!" Su Shan sat happily on the chair, licked his lips and said, "Master, to be honest, I have spent all my money. Now I only have Huabei to use, but the money in Huabei can only last for another half a month at most. After half a month, I really don't know what to do!"
"No way," Lame Brother was a little unconvinced. He looked the young couple up and down. "You are so young, and you are well dressed. You look like white-collar workers in a big city. How did you end up like this?"
Su Shan nodded excitedly: "You are right. A week ago, I was still considered a white-collar worker. At that time, I worked in the marketing department of Beijing Flavor Company. I enjoyed the treatment of a big company, three meals a day were all included, and the company also provided afternoon tea. This was my first job after graduating from university. I was full of ambition and ready to do a great job. Who knew that I would be promoted before I had worked for a full year!"
"What is optimization?" Lame Brother didn't understand.
Su Shan explained dejectedly, "I was fired. They fired me for no reason and without any reason. They should have given me compensation, but I hadn't worked there for a full year and was still in the probation period, so they didn't give me any compensation. Humph, they still call it a big company? I want to tell the world that the flavor company is a black-hearted company!"
"Which big company is the flavor company? How come I have never heard of it?" Lame Brother picked up his phone, "Let me check... Oh, it turns out to be the company that produces Xiaotanmao spicy noodles. I understand when you mention Xiaotanmao, because all the children in China grew up eating its spicy noodles? By the way, the missing child news I saw this morning seemed to be released by the Xiaotanmao company. What's their CEO's last name..."
Su Shan continued, "His surname is Lin! His name is Lin Qiqing, and he is the chairman and general manager of our company. I usually work in a branch company and have never met this general manager, but I heard that he is a very good person. The company was developing steadily under his management, but since he fell ill, his sister Lin Qinghong has served as the interim chairman. It was because of this woman that I lost my job!"
"What does her being the interim chairman have to do with your dismissal?" asked Lame Brother.
Su Shan said angrily, "I get angry when I talk about it. The director decided to hold a meeting that day. The people who came were all leaders of various departments. According to our company's custom, coffee must be ordered for each leader during the meeting. The meeting was about to start, and it was too late to order takeout. I had to run downstairs to buy coffee."
"After buying the coffee, I ran to the conference room with two big bags in my hands. As time was in a hurry, I didn't pay much attention to the front. As a result, when I turned the corner, I bumped into a woman's arms. Behind the woman was a large group of people. The group of people's faces changed instantly. I was in a hurry to deliver the coffee, so I hurriedly apologized to the woman and left. As a result, I received an optimization notification that night."
"Afterwards, a colleague told me that it was Lin Qinghong who came to the branch office to give us guidance on work that day, and the woman I bumped into was her. I embarrassed her in public, so the company fired me."
Su Shan said unconvincedly: "Lin Qinghong is too stingy. I didn't mean it, and I've already apologized to her. Why does she still hold a grudge against me?"
"This is my first year of work. I don't have any savings, and most of my salary goes to rent. Now, without my salary, I can't even afford food, let alone rent. It's almost the end of the month, and I don't even know where to get next month's rent!"
"What about your family? Can they help you?" Bai Mian asked with concern.
Su Shan shook his head bitterly: "Don't mention it. My parents are particularly indifferent. They told me since I was a child that they raised me so that I could support them in their old age. They only paid for my education until high school, and I applied for a student loan to pay for my university tuition. After graduation, I finally paid off the loan, and my parents began to expect me to send money home. Now that I am unemployed and can't make any money, they have directly cut off contact with me. They didn't even say hello, let alone help me!"
"The other relatives are the same. I have finally experienced how cold-hearted people are!"
"There are such parents in the world," lame brother sighed, "but, sister, don't be discouraged, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. There are many companies in the world. If you can't get a job here, there will be other companies that can! You are just in your early twenties, why don't you look for a job?"
At this point, Su Shan's eyes were red. "Hey, I was just about to say that after leaving the flavor company, I sent my resume to other big companies, but I didn't get any replies. At first I thought my resume wasn't good enough, but then I received an email from a kind HR telling me that I had been put on the big company's industry blacklist. As long as the system detects my information, it will pass me directly. This must have been Lin Qinghong's idea!"
Lame Brother slammed the table and stood up: "This is too much! These bastards are bullying others by taking advantage of their power! You just bumped into her, you didn't kill anyone or set fire to anything, why would she do this?"
Su Shan also said excitedly: "Yes, this is clearly to prevent me from finding a job in the industry. At least there is no hope for me to work in a large factory in Beijing. Not only does she want to kick me out of the company, she also wants to force me to leave Beijing!"
At this point, she was about to cry: "I am desperate now. I can't find a job, and the rent is due soon. If this continues, I will have to consider working as a delivery boy! That's why I came to see you today. I just want to ask, when can I find my next job? Can I still stay in Beijing?"
When Su Shan got excited, she tilted her body and fell into her boyfriend's arms. Everyone panicked. It was only after Lame Brother pinched her philtrum that she did not faint.
"What's the matter with you?" asked the lame brother with sweat on his forehead.
Su Shan said weakly, "In order to save money, I didn't eat today... From this morning till now, I only ate a few biscuits... Maybe I have low blood sugar..."
Gao Jin slapped his thigh in pain: "Oh my, you kid, you didn't even say you didn't eat. Look at you, why don't you just say it?"
As he spoke, Gao Jin went to Yin Yin's shop next door, got a meat bun and handed it to Su Shan. Su Shan took the hot meat bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
While Su Shan was eating, Lame Brother criticized A Peng who was standing beside him: "Hey boy, I have to say something to you. How can you be a boyfriend? Your girlfriend is almost starving, and you didn't even notice it?"
A Peng spread his hands calmly: "I know."
Lame Brother was a little angry: "You know, why don't you give her something to eat?"
A Peng shook his head: "No, we live on an AA basis."
"What?" Lame Brother looked confused.
"AA system," A Peng explained to him, "means each of us is responsible for our own living expenses. We pay half of the rent and utilities. We spend our own money on daily basis and no one takes advantage of the other."
Lame brother couldn't understand: "You are a man, what's wrong with spending some money on your wife?"
Ah Peng shook his head firmly: "No, there are too many gold diggers nowadays. How do I know that she is not approaching me for my money? In order to prove that she really likes me and that there is pure love between us, she and I have always insisted on the principle of AA system."
Lame Brother was so angry that his eyebrows were about to fly up: "This, this, this... I don't care how you young people get along with each other, anyway, she is your girlfriend, are you going to watch her starve to death and do nothing?"
Ah Peng said innocently, "There's nothing I can do. Principles are principles."
Lame Brother looked Ah Peng up and down and said, "Young man, you are always worried that others are after your money. Let me ask you, how much money do you have? Are you a rich second generation?"
A Peng was a little embarrassed: "That's not the case. She and I are colleagues in the same company. We are both ordinary employees, usually making 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. No matter how much I earn, she can't take advantage of me anyway."
Lame Brother was a little surprised: "So you also work at Beijing Flavor Company. You are both employees on probation, but she was the only one who was laid off, but you were not?"
A Peng looked at Su Shan who was eating in the distance with disdain and whispered, "She deserves it. She has no workplace wisdom at all and is so reckless in front of her boss. If the boss doesn't fire her, who else will he fire? She should be more tactful!"
"If I were like this, I wouldn't have run into this kind of thing. I'm usually the most popular with the leaders. She's too stubborn. If she had learned more from me, she wouldn't be in this situation now!"
Lame brother shook his head, sat back next to Bai Mian, and said helplessly: "This girl is so pitiful, there are so many heartless people around her."
After Su Shan finished her meal, Bai Mian took her hand and began to feel her pulse. After a while, Bai Mian raised her head. Su Shan said hopefully, "Master, how is it, can I find a job in the future?"
Bai Mian looked at Su Shan with interest: "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
