Chapter 610 Extra - Straw
"Mr. Ma, I just want to explain one thing: none of the accusations in the email are true, and the person who came to pick me up was not Mr. Chen Chu."
Actually, if we just call Chen Ci and Chen Chu over to explain, the matter can be perfectly resolved.
But considering that Chen Ci was still in the hospital worrying about Fang Miao, she had no intention of involving him in this dispute.
“It’s not that important.” Mr. Ma pushed up his glasses. “I admit you are very talented, but what the company needs is not an individualistic employee, but an excellent team.”
Fang Tong seemed to suddenly understand something.
Mr. Ma is just the company's general manager. The shareholders have a one-year probationary period for him, and now that period is about to end, there are rumors at the head office that the shareholders admire Fang Tong.
At this critical juncture, this incident has given Mr. Ma an excellent opportunity to fire her.
There was no point in saying more, so Fang Tong simply picked up his things and left the company.
As she left, Cheng Cheng was still making sarcastic remarks: "Others leave unwillingly, but Fang Tong is different. She's climbing the social ladder and is about to make a fortune."
Fang Tong ignored her, bowed slightly to her colleagues to thank them for their help, and then left.
The receptionist, A, was still waiting at the door: "Sister Fang Tong, I feel that things are definitely not as described in the email. Why aren't you explaining anything..."
“I was just thinking of taking a break. My younger brother is sick and hospitalized, so I’m going to the hospital to be with him.”
"Sister Fang Tong..."
“It’s okay, A. After experiencing a lot, you’ll find that everything is trivial except for life and death.”
Before A could say anything more, Fang Tong waved to her and left with the box.
The sky was overcast, as if brewing a chilly autumn rain.
A cool breeze blew by, and Fang Tong hugged the box tighter, walked to the roadside, and hailed a taxi.
The car drove from the high-rise buildings of the city to the suburbs, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from prosperity to desolation. At this time, a heavy rain fell from the sky.
A layer of autumn rain added a touch of gloom to the world.
The driver in front was playing a gentle love song, and he hummed along as he drove, smiling as he spoke to Fang Tong.
"Excuse me, young lady, I just like to hum a tune."
"It's nothing," Fang Tong smiled.
Liking to listen to music and singing are both positive and optimistic signs.
Unlike her, she hasn't listened to music in a long time.
The car stopped at the entrance of the alley. After paying the bill, Fang Tong realized that her phone was about to run out of battery.
"Miss, didn't you bring an umbrella?" the driver asked with concern.
"No."
"It's raining quite heavily."
"It's alright, it's just a short walk."
Fang Tong thanked the driver and got out of the car.
The raindrops pattered down, and Fang Tong quickly carried the box into the alley. When she got close to her house, she found a lot of things piled up at the door.
She initially thought it was a prank, with trash piled up at her door, but upon closer inspection, she discovered it was all her luggage.
Suitcases, books, items, pots and pans... piled up at the doorway.
Looking at the lock on the door, I noticed it had been replaced with a new one sometime ago.
Only then did she realize that the landlord's agreed-upon final move-out date had arrived.
Looking at the mess at the entrance, then at the box she was holding, and then at Fang Miao in the intensive care unit, Fang Tong finally broke down completely.
Tears began to stream down my face, mingling with the surging raindrops, tasting bitter and astringent.
She squatted on the ground, clutching the box, letting the rain pelt her body.
Meanwhile, good news came from the hospital: Fang Miao had finally pulled through and was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
Chen Ci naturally informed Fang Tong of the news immediately, but when he called, the phone was switched off.
As it was getting late, Chen Ci was worried about Fang Tong coming alone, so he drove directly to the wedding company.
He pushed open the door and went in. The receptionist was taken aback when she saw him: "Chairman Chen."
Perhaps in a good mood, Chen Ci smiled and said, "I'm not Chairman Chen, I'm Chairman Chen's younger brother. I'm a doctor. Please call Fang Tong for me, her phone is off."
The two receptionists exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "Sister Fang Tong has already left the company..."
Her words were rather ambiguous, but Chen Ci didn't think much of it and simply asked, "When did you leave?"
"It's been more than two hours."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Ci waved and left the wedding company.
Fang Tong wasn't at the company, so she probably didn't go to the hospital; she should be at home.
He then drove straight to the suburbs where Fang Tong lived, parked the car at the entrance of the alley, and got out of the car with an umbrella in hand.
The sky was overcast, and it was nearing evening. The lights in the alley were still off, and something seemed amiss in front of Fang Tong's house.
He quickened his pace, his leather shoes splashing mud on the brick road, staining his black trouser legs. For the first time, he, who was somewhat obsessive about cleanliness, didn't care at all and continued to hurry along.
As he got closer, he could clearly see the scene before him.
There were many things piled up in front of Fang Tong's door, and she was sitting on the ground with her head down, holding a cardboard box, without even holding an umbrella.
Fang Tong herself didn't know how long she had been sitting there, only that she was extremely devastated and had no energy left to clean up the mess.
She thought, "I'll rest for a bit first."
Even amidst wind and rain.
She's been strong for a long time, so what's wrong with being weak for a while?
She's not a superhero, just an ordinary mortal, and she gets tired too.
