Chapter 116 Jinjiang First Launch
Xia Yu was moved again. She hugged Daju's head and kissed him hard: "Baby, you are so cute. I want to kiss you to death!"
The big orange cat also raised its head proudly, rubbed its head against Xia Yu's chin, and meowed in response to its master.
"You'd be cuter if you could lose some weight!" Xia Yu added.
Daju's face suddenly dropped, and it turned around, facing Xia Yu with its butt.
"Ahem," Xia Yu asked shyly, "Master, I often say bad things about it, so will it say bad things about me?"
"Yes!" Bai Mian gave an affirmative answer, "It thinks you are very stingy and a miser."
Xia Yu's eyes widened: "I broke the door? That's nonsense!"
She picked up the big orange cat and asked it face to face: "Hey, what makes you say I'm a door-scratcher? The cat food and canned food I buy for you are all worth hundreds of dollars. I also buy you vaccines and deworming medicine on time. There are countless toys and scratching posts at home. Even so, you still think I'm a door-scratcher?"
The fat orange dog made a dissatisfied sound, and Bai Mian translated for it: "It said that you always eat snacks behind its back and never share the delicious food with it."
Xia Yu explained helplessly: "Please, baby, I have told you many times that those are foods for humans and cats cannot eat them. Eating them will increase the burden on the kidneys. Can't you understand human language? Why did you misunderstand me?"
The big orange cat wagged its tail and turned its face away, deliberately avoiding looking at Xia Yu.
Bai Mian: "It can selectively understand human language. If you say something it doesn't like, it will choose not to understand."
"Ah?" Xia Yu was surprised and patted Daju's butt. "You are too cunning!"
The big orange one licked his lips and smiled smugly.
Xia Yu thought of another question: "Master, Daju has been talking to me more often recently. Is he trying to tell me something? Is he feeling unwell?"
When Xia Yu mentioned this, Daju's expression instantly became serious. It sat upright on the table, staring at Bai Mian, as if hoping that Bai Mian would translate for it as soon as possible.
Bai Mian also became serious. She said slowly: "Daju wants to tell you that someone entered your room when you were away."
"Ah?" Xia Yu was shocked. "That's impossible. I rented an entire apartment in Beijing. I don't share it with anyone. I don't usually have any relatives or friends visiting my house. Who would go into my room? Could it be a thief?"
Then she denied her guess: "No, my things are all there, nothing valuable is missing, it's definitely not a thief."
But then, Xia Yu fell into a deeper fear: "If he's not a thief, then it's even worse. This person sneaked into my house but didn't take my things. So his target can only be me. I'm a single woman and the easiest target. What if he sneaks in while I'm asleep and attacks me..."
Bai Mian quickly interrupted her guess: "Wait, don't be afraid, it's not what you think, this guy is not a pervert, he is not going for you."
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, that's good, I was so scared, this guy is not after money or sex, why would he sneak into my house, is it to pet the cat?"
Everyone laughed. Bai Mian said seriously, "No, his target was something very valuable, and he has already got it."
Xia Yu was stunned: "Valuables? Master, I just said that none of the valuables in my house were lost. My watch, gold necklace, and laptop are all there. Apart from that, there is nothing valuable in the house. What exactly are you referring to?"
Bai Mian reminded: "What's in your computer?"
Xia Yu thought about it and suddenly had a sudden realization: "Oh my God, he wanted to steal the materials in my computer! There are many original videos of variety shows in it, and they haven't been post-processed yet!"
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Some elderly ladies, not knowing the seriousness of the incident, asked curiously:
"Variety shows are made to be seen by people. What's the point of him stealing that?"
"Yeah, won't we be able to watch it on TV after a while?"
"Could it be that you want to watch the variety show so badly that you can't wait any longer?"
"After he stole it, the original film might have leaked on the Internet. I haven't even done the skin refining yet, but I can still see the wrinkles on the stars' faces clearly. And I haven't done any editing, so some of the stars' qualities will be exposed," Xia Yu grabbed his scalp in frustration. "This is terrible, this is terrible, this is really a disaster, my team leader will definitely scold me to death!"
"Your team leader won't have the chance to scold you, because the company will directly fire you. After all, this incident is indeed your responsibility, and you violated the company's regulations." Bai Mian said mercilessly.
Xia Yu was also in a dilemma: "Yes, I know the company doesn't allow us to take the original film home, but I can't help it. Guo Xiangxiang is really difficult to please. She is obviously over 50 years old and has wrinkles all over her face, but she insists on promoting herself as an ageless goddess and a gifted gene. As a result, we, the post-production staff, have to help her remove the wrinkles on her face frame by frame."
"That's not all. The worst thing is that she likes to torture people! She is the most difficult client I have ever met. Every time we finish a video, her team will have staff members responsible for reviewing it. They will watch a video over and over again to check if there are any wrinkles on her face. Once she finds a wrinkle, she will call and scold us staff members. Do you know what time she likes to call? Three o'clock, three o'clock in the morning!"
"After scolding us, she, a big star, can have a good sleep, but we workers have to drag our tired bodies to work the next day. I really hate her. I want to vomit when I see her face!"
Xia Yu cursed at himself and then got back to the point: "Because Guo Xiangxiang always likes to call me at three in the morning and ask me to make changes immediately, I can only copy the original film to my computer so that I can work anytime and anywhere. I swear to God, I did this just to work overtime better! But I didn't expect this to happen. Now that I have made such a big mistake, I will definitely lose my job. Sigh!"
Hearing Xia Yu say this, the onlookers present couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. After all, this job did not sound easy, and Guo Xiangxiang was also a well-known veteran actress who was usually friendly in public, and no one would have thought that she was such a person in private.
Everyone whispered to each other for a while, and Xia Yu cried helplessly. She wiped her tears and said, "Once the original film is leaked, it will be the end. I will be banned from the entire industry. Not only will my current company not want me, but I will not be able to find a job in the whole capital. I can only pack up and go back to my hometown..."
Bai Mian crossed his arms and said, "But the original film hasn't been released yet, how can you give up now?"
"Yes!" Xia Yu raised his head, as if he saw a ray of hope. "The original film has not been leaked yet. Everything is still possible! This person may have copied the original film just for himself, or, maybe he wants to negotiate with me? Master, please tell me, who is this person? Where is he now?"
Bai Mian gave a hint: "This person is right next to you."
