Chapter 418 The Money-Giving Auntie Is Immortal (3)
Half a month later, Zhou Shichu's injuries had healed, leaving only some scars to prove the car accident she had encountered in the middle of the night.
When she arrived at the company, the first thing she did was to hand in her resignation letter. The boss was very surprised because the original owner was a workaholic and a hard worker. It seemed as if she lived just for work. No matter how difficult the task the boss gave her, she could execute and complete it perfectly. She was loyal and capable, the kind of subordinate that all bosses liked.
But now, this perfect subordinate is going to resign. The boss is so shocked that his jaw almost drops: "Shi Chu, why do you want to resign suddenly? Isn't your health getting better?"
Zhou Shichu smiled and said, "I almost died in this car accident. When I was lying on the hospital bed, I suddenly realized that I had spent most of my energy and time on work, and I had very little free time to play. If I really died in this car accident, how pathetic I would be. I worked so hard for so long, but never enjoyed a day. It would be such a worthless death.
So I figured it out. I can't let my life go to waste. I have to experience the joy of living in this world. So I definitely can't work as hard as I did before. Resigning is the best option."
When the boss heard her say this, he wanted to persuade her: "But wasn't the car accident a false alarm? Besides, work is also a way to realize the value of life. When you really quit, you will probably feel that your life is empty and boring. I know people like us. We can't sit idle. Only by constantly seeking career advancement can we have fun and prove our own value."
The boss is a silver-tongued man, but he just doesn't want to let this capable subordinate leave. After all, there are too few employees who are quiet and capable like him.
But Zhou Shichu is not the original owner. The original owner might pursue career success and regard work as the joy of life and the value of life. But Shichu, a girl with a beast soul, pursues the enjoyment of eating, drinking and having fun, so the boss is destined to be disappointed.
"Then you have to work until next month and hand over your work to your colleagues before you can leave." The boss sighed and finally agreed to her resignation. After all, he had tried to persuade her but she wouldn't change her mind. How could he force her?
Zhou Shichu immediately said happily: "Of course, I promise to hand over the work well."
“By the way, if you feel too empty and bored after resigning and want to work, you can come back to our company.” The boss added before she left. His words were very sincere. After all, the original owner was really a good employee, and the boss didn’t mind her coming back to work in the future.
Zhou Shichu smiled and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay." In fact, she didn't take these words to heart at all. She would not come back to continue being a social animal.
Zhou Shichu obtained the original owner's memories and quickly got started on the job. After handing over the important tasks to her colleagues one by one, she had free time in the remaining half a month. She no longer had to work overtime until midnight every day, but could get off work on time, which made her colleagues who were also office workers envious.
These days she either ordered takeout or ate at restaurants outside. She got tired of eating out and wanted to cook for herself, so she went to the vegetable market after get off work, planning to buy vegetables and cook.
She bought beef slices, kale and chicken breast as well as spare ribs and Chinese cabbage, planning to make stir-fried beef with kale, steamed spare ribs, cold-boiled chicken breast and stir-fried Chinese cabbage. These dishes would be enough for her to eat.
The original owner was only 36 years old, but because she worked too hard, her health was not good. She had chronic diseases such as cervical spondylosis, arthritis and stomach problems. If the original owner had not died in the car accident, these chronic diseases would have tortured her to death.
Now that the time of life has come, it is natural that we must first take good care of our body. Without a healthy body, how can we enjoy life?
After dinner, she went for a walk in the community garden. The square was very lively at seven or eight o'clock. Middle-aged and elderly people were dancing in the square, children were playing and laughing, and couples were talking and loving in the corner. It was ordinary, but seemed particularly happy.
Zhou Shichu sat down on a bench, watching the old men and women dancing in the square, when she suddenly felt a sharp wind coming towards her. Her expression turned cold, and she stretched out her hand and fiercely counterattacked the hidden weapon that was coming towards her with lightning speed.
"Oh! My little ball is broken..." A child's childish cry suddenly rang out.
Zhou Shichu looked over there and found a little boy about four or five years old running towards a deflated ball. After picking it up, he started crying heartbrokenly, looking at Zhou Shichu with accusing and angry eyes.
Zhou Shichu then realized with embarrassment that what he had just repelled was not a hidden weapon at all, but the little boy's ball...
The aftereffects of the previous world... She thought she was still a heroine in the martial arts world, and had forgotten that this world was peaceful and modern, with no martial arts or hidden weapons.
She even hit the kid's toy until it deflated. Zhou Shichu coughed awkwardly and said to the little boy, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to break your ball by hitting it too hard."
The little boy was sobbing while holding the broken ball. When he heard Zhou Shichu's apology, he pursed his lips and said unhappily, "This is the ball my uncle gave me. I like it the most. Woo woo, you broke it!"
"Can I compensate you with a new one?" Zhou Shichu asked helplessly.
The little boy was not a naughty kid, he was quite sensible, and when he heard that Zhou Shichu was willing to compensate him with a new one, he agreed: "Okay."
"Then I'll take you to buy it. By the way, where are your parents?" Zhou Shichu took his hand and looked around, but didn't see anyone who looked like a parent.
The little boy also looked around, stamped his feet and said, "My uncle is so ignorant, he's lost again!"
Zhou Shichu couldn't help laughing when he heard his little adult-like words, and asked him, "Did your uncle bring you out? Does he often get lost?"
"Yes, grandma asked my uncle to bring me down to play, but he disappeared while we were playing!" The little boy frowned and sighed, then continued in a condescending manner, "Big sister, it seems that I can't go with you to buy a small ball. I have to find my uncle first. If he gets lost, he can't come home."
A man with lower than normal IQ suddenly appeared in Zhou Shichu’s mind. It seemed that the little boy’s uncle was not a normal person and often got lost.
But the little guy in front of him was only four or five years old. How could he find his uncle with abnormal IQ? What if he got lost himself?
Alas, this child’s parents are so careless that they actually let an abnormal family member take the child out without worrying that both of them would get lost.
