Chapter 2: Unlike a serious cat, time goes back to the beginning. Fire...
Time goes back to the beginning.
No one knew where the fire came from. When Li An, who was working on a draft for the client, came to her senses, she was trapped in the room and could not get out.
Go out through the window? But this is the 44th floor.
...Maybe he died later, she wasn't sure.
Li An felt that she had very bad luck and often encountered such fatal things.
For example, a large advertising sign suddenly fell down on the street, two people suddenly quarreled on the side of the road and pushed her into the motor vehicle lane, and she was almost pushed off the mountain while hiking... There were too many things.
When she looked back on her life, she felt that she was lucky enough to live so many times, so she was not that unlucky.
All these events combined made Li An hate places where crowds gathered. That was where accidents were most likely to happen, and communicating with people was also a particularly dangerous thing.
In short, Li'an hates people, and her biggest wish is to find a job that doesn't require her to interact with humans.
Actually, she originally wanted to find a job in a funeral home, but something happened on the first day of the application... She scared others, and they whispered that she looked lacking in yang energy, so in the end, she was not allowed to join the company.
Oh, her life was full of ups and downs.
Just as Li An had begun to count the terrifying upright apes he had encountered one by one, something knocked on the door.
She didn't know what state she was in now. She was a bit like a cat trapped in a box, seemingly dead and yet not dead.
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
Stop knocking, she doesn't have the hands to open the door.
As she thought of this concept, the door suddenly opened.
Outside the door, the visitor, who had not realized the door would open at this time, retracted his claws.
It is black and furry, and even looks a bit chewy and easy to pinch.
It was a black cat, an ordinary black cat that could be found anywhere.
Maybe it's not that common, after all, the black color of this one is particularly pure.
"Looking for a job, comrade?" said the Cat.
Well, I was looking for a new job. This job always requires me to interact with people online.
?
???
The cat is talking?!
Li An was shocked. No matter how bizarre her life was, full of ups and downs, it was not as strange as seeing a cat talking in front of her.
"Is it really because the work pressure is too great..." She muttered to herself, wondering if communicating with others online was still too difficult.
The black cat didn't seem to expect her to behave like this, and the paw raised to greet her stopped in the air awkwardly.
After a while, it put down its paw as if nothing had happened.
"Stop your unrealistic imagination. I'm not an illusion. I'm here to offer you a job that doesn't require any contact with humans. Isn't that tempting?"
If she were still alive, she thought she would be moved.
But now it seems like I have no heart, alas.
"It's okay." After all, he's not alive, and it seems he doesn't need to live in human society anymore.
Black Cat: “…”
Li An suspected that it was a little angry. Its two cat ears were pressed back, but its expression was serious, pretending to be a human.
Oh, that's cute.
"You really don't want it?"
Li An was indifferent: "Then tell me."
As if finally receiving the expected answer, the black cat stood up.
"I plan to open a handcraft shop, and you will be the manager. I promise you that there will not be any human customers in this shop. The only small problem is-"
"You need to travel between worlds—don't look at me like that, I'll travel with you."
Li An pondered for a moment.
Want to rua.
As she was thinking this, the next second the black cat appeared in front of her and put its furry little head next to her.
"Hey! What do you want to do?!"
As soon as Li An stretched out her finger and touched it, the black cat immediately disappeared.
It stood at the intersection of the door and the outside, its cat face serious: "We will be partners in the future! You can't treat your comrades on the entrepreneurial journey like this!"
Okay, okay, Comrade Kitty.
"Partner? Isn't that the store manager you hired?"
"You invest with your technology, and I invest with my money, half each, how about that?"
It finally seemed to relax a little.
Li An narrowed her eyes and said, "Forget it then."
The black cat was surprised: "Why?!"
"Fifty-fifty is too little."
"You don't have to pay anything, just sit in the store and watch over the shop. 50-50 is not too much!"
Li An smiled slightly, "For your one and only partner, isn't 50/50 too much?"
After all, this talking cat had no other choice but to come to her, and even came to find her at this time when she had just died.
Every single thing was evidence that it was afraid she wouldn't agree.
The black cat stared at her with wide eyes. After a long while, it prepared itself mentally: "Then how much do you want?"
She opened her mouth loudly: "Ninety-one, nine for me."
Black Cat said firmly: "No! I have too little! I can't even recover the cost!"
Li An reluctantly said, "Then it's 82, you get 2."
The black cat hesitated for a long time, and finally said as if being driven: "Deal done."
"Wait a minute? How did the deal get done? What about the salary, benefits, and working hours?"
"Don't ask! There's no time for arguments, let's travel through time first!"
"ah--?"
*
This is what happened before, and Li An suspected that he had boarded a pirate ship.
If I had known, I would have stuck to the 91% and not wavered! A job where I don't even have a single day off! Damn it.
"Think about it from another perspective. Actually, your working hours aren't that long. From 9 am to 5 pm, you only work eight hours a day."
"Oh." She said indifferently.
"I'll forgive you only if you give me a rub."
The black cat was furious: "Do you know who I am? You don't know! You just think about how to touch me!"
Li An's expression suddenly turned serious: "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
The black cat suddenly stopped and looked at her doubtfully for a long moment: "You...you know?"
Li An smiled and said, "I don't know, but judging by your behavior, you're actually quite afraid of me."
"Ah! You bastard, I'm going to fight you!" The black cat Lei Ting was furious and suddenly rushed towards her like a small cannonball.
Li An caught it and rubbed it.
Just as the man and the cat were arguing with each other in anger, the doorbell rang.
"What's going on?"
Unlike Li An's confusion, Black Cat seemed very excited: "Guests are coming! Let's go, this is our first guest!"
Li An remained unmoved and even sneered.
She pointed to the clock on the wall. "See?"
It looked up and saw that it was one o'clock in the morning.
"This is not my working hours. I advise you to think carefully before speaking."
Li An ignored it after she finished speaking, and stood up on her own. She fumbled around in this studio-like place and successfully found some of the things she had used before.
It was all office supplies, even computers and digital tablets, placed in a big box.
She continued to dig and pulled out a broken water cup.
Hmm...she remembered that she had thrown it away a long time ago, so why is it here?
He continued to dig and pulled out an old notebook.
Huh?
Li An herself had forgotten what this thing was. When she opened it, she remembered that this was the draft book she used when she was a freelance artist.
Alas, life is not easy for freelance artists. They have no fame or popularity, and they are squeezed by AI (×)
She sighed over the past, sat back on the sofa with emotion, opened her draft book and began to recall the past.
Don't mention it, she was quite passionate about life back then, and you could tell she was full of inspiration. Unlike now, she has been beaten thousands of times by life, and her meat is already chewy and delicious. *
Just when Li An was reading the draft and was so excited that he wanted to play with it, he heard some chirping sounds outside.
What was the black cat doing? Could it be that she had rejected him and was packing up in anger to run away?
She thought about it and felt that it couldn't be so childish, so she let it go with peace of mind.
It's impossible to demolish the store, this is its second investment.
...She was careless. If she had known, she would have gone upstairs directly. She found a staircase leading to the second floor.
Li An sighed inwardly.
A rabbit moved slowly and stood in front of her.
The fur looks a little dirty, unlike a black cat. It may be because the white fur looks dirty. A little dust and grass leaves stick to it and it looks a little dirty.
Still a bit pitiful.
The rabbit was short, and when she sat here, she could just look down at the top of the other person's head.
Li An stared at the rabbit's head with a leaf stuck in it, and turned a page with her hand.
So cute, I want to rub it.
The black cat immediately saw what she was going to do and warned her, "This is a guest, you can't touch her!"
Tsk, does she look such a wretched person?
Li An looked at him with disdain.
"...Heh, this is a form of telepathic communication. I can tell what you're thinking. Similarly, you can tell what I'm thinking, stinky lychee."
Putting aside the facts, it also gave me a nickname. Isn't this the love of a pet for its owner?
"Ugh—"
Communication was paused, and Li An quickly mastered how to cut off the phone call to the mind, nipping the black cat's anger in the bud.
Like every parent of a rebellious child, she wanted to let the child "calm down" first.
She looked from the rabbit guest's head to its eyes, thinking that since the rabbit has come, she can't let it go back empty-handed.
So she asked, "What do you want?"
The rabbit stood there stiffly. When he heard her speak, he shook his head slightly, and his two long, flat ears also shook.
The rabbit delivered a critical hit and Li An raised his hands in surrender.
"I want—" It spoke softly, as if it would be frightened and take off running at any moment, and a materialized bead of sweat fell from its head.
"I want the book you have in your hand."
Li’an:?
She looked down at her draft book.
No way, why would I need something like this? Isn't this a handmade shop?
She dialed her inner phone and coldly questioned, "I know you're not a serious cat, but this handmade shop isn't a serious shop either."
When I told the black cat that it was not a decent cat, it said nothing, but when I told the store that it was not a decent store, it got anxious.
"you--"
Li An skillfully cut off the phone line again, leaving the black cat alone on the other end to transform into the anxious King.
Hurry up, Xiao Juice.
She was just debating whether to give away her youthful memories when a black cat appeared.
Oh, we don’t want to fight in front of the rabbit, it will scare the rabbit away.
The black cat turned away from her and said to the rabbit, "Deal."
Li An raised her eyebrows and reached out to throw the draft book to Rabbit.
The little white rabbit stood up and stretched out its two paws to hold the draft book which was a little too big for it.
Kind of cute.
She couldn't help but smile.
It's a pity that I can't rua.
The rabbit disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li An quickly retracted her smile and took the initiative before Black Cat could question her.
"How are overtime pay calculated? How are psychological compensation calculated? And how are you going to compensate me for my lost memoirs of youth?"
