Chapter 5 Mysterious Black Air
Ahhh, who can come and save this poor office worker?
In the office, Ye Xiaoxuan's fingertips tapped the keyboard mechanically, and the cold light of the display screen reflected on her tired face.
She had revised the two-year anniversary product plan to the seventh version, but it was rejected again.
On the computer screen, Director Li's comments were like ants, densely crawling all over the screen. There were many opinions, but almost no constructive ones.
What? The user portrait is not accurate enough, the competitive product analysis lacks data support, the core selling point is not prominent enough, and it is a bunch of correct nonsense. In the words of her immediate boss Zhou Mingyuan, "The most intelligent words are meaningless, and even if they are said, it is as if they have not been said at all."
What is going on?
What is more terrifying than having a boss with a bad temper is a boss who is also bad-tempered and picky. What is even more terrifying than having a boss with a bad temper and picky is a boss who is also bad-tempered and picky and has no ability but likes to pretend to be very capable.
Unfortunately, Director Li is such a person.
Staring at the words on the screen, Ye Xiaoxuan's heart began to beat fast.
The coffee on the right had already gone cold, with a thin layer of grease condensing on the surface.
The sound of keyboards in the office was like some kind of silent torture. Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to meet Director Li's patrolling gaze.
But back to that question...
"Xiao Zi, let me ask you, under what circumstances can I see something that others cannot? Is there such a side effect of becoming a magical girl?"
Zi finally answered. After various analyses, she finally came to the conclusion that, excluding the possibility of hallucination, after becoming a magical girl, if she can see something but others cannot, it means that the thing itself is magical.
Zi Han...
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan took another sip of the coffee in her hand.
"But you don't have to worry. Although she has magic, she hasn't done anything bad to you for so long. This at least proves that she has no ill will towards you for now. And with your current strength, there's no point in worrying. Instead of worrying about these things, you might as well train well and try to escape with your life before the angry men find you."
Then thank you so much!
In her mind, the magical creature Zi was saying comforting words to her. Ye Xiaoxuan felt a little speechless as she drank her coffee.
Until Zhang Yaozu, who was working at the next workstation, leaned over and interrupted their conversation with a sentence, "Xiao Ye, when can you hand in your part?" He lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him. "Li Haibao just asked about the progress again."
Li Haibao is naturally Supervisor Li.
But doesn't he work? He keeps urging me to do this and that every day.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan typed even faster.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xiaoxuan looked up at the time - 6:27 pm, still two hours and thirty-three minutes before the end of get off work.
What a miserable life of 996, but fortunately, with her hard work, the previous plan was finally revised. Although she subconsciously felt that this version would be rejected, she didn't care and just handed it in first.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxuan stood up resolutely, but Manager Li's yelling came into the office again.
"Can't you even do this little thing? Get out!"
A thunderous roar came from the end of the corridor, and the entire office area fell silent in an instant. Everyone's fingers were hovering above the keyboard, and their eyes were all cast towards the source of the sound.
Then, Director Li's office door was pushed open, and a tall and thin young man staggered out, holding a stack of documents in his hand.
Ye Xiaoxuan recognized the young man. He was a management trainee who had just arrived this year. He always sat quietly in the corner and worked very seriously. Everyone in the company could see it, but obviously none of this could impress Manager Li.
"I'll give you one last chance! I want to see a brand new plan tomorrow morning! If you can't do it, pack up and get out!"
The office door was slammed shut, and Director Li's roar chased after the management trainee. The management trainee was standing there at this moment, his face as pale as a piece of paper, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.
"Are you okay?" Looking at the hot tea above his head, Ye Xiaoxuan subconsciously walked over and handed him a tissue.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were clearly visible. Then he roared almost reflexively: "What the hell is it to you?!"
A wisp of black gas seemed to emerge from between his eyebrows. It was the first time Ye Xiaoxuan encountered such a situation. He rubbed his eyes subconsciously, but found that the wisp of black smoke had disappeared long ago.
The young man's voice sounded particularly harsh in the quiet office area. Several colleagues secretly looked over here, then quickly lowered their heads.
The young man's emotions had obviously reached a critical point, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned.
Soon, Ye Xiaoxuan saw that his expression changed from anger to surprise, and finally fixed on a complex look mixed with shame and regret.
"S-Sorry..." His voice suddenly dropped, "I didn't mean to..."
Ye Xiaoxuan just waved her hand when she heard this and said nothing. After all, it's inevitable that one will go crazy after working for a long time.
"Director Li has this temper," she could only comfort him softly, "Don't take it personally."
When the management trainee heard this, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
Ye Xiaoxuan was still worried about what happened just now. What was that wisp of black smoke? Was she really seeing things?
Just as she was thinking about it, Ye Xiaoxuan returned to her workstation and even forgot to hand the plan over to Director Li.
Zhang Yaozu looked at her like this and thought she was still angry with the management trainee, so he smiled to liven up the atmosphere: "Why, are you doubting your life because you are being criticized for being a good person? But it doesn't matter. Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before you go crazy under Li Haibao. We will eventually have that day."
Zhang Yaozu was actively trying to liven up the atmosphere, but Ye Xiaoxuan didn't say anything and just stared at the computer screen again.
Zhang Yaozu was not giving up: "By the way, Xiaoye, how about I jump off the building?" He lowered his voice, "We are on the twelfth floor here. If I jump over here now, it won't take long before my head explodes like a watermelon. It will be absolutely shocking. When the police come, I will play Li Haibao's voice on my phone on a loop. What do you think the effect will be?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxuan paused for a moment on the table. The air conditioner in the office hummed, and the cold wind passed over the back of her neck, causing tiny goose bumps.
"This is a hell of a joke." In the end, she just replied indifferently.
Zhang Yaozu gave him an expression of confusion and shock.
In the end, the seventh version of the plan still failed to pass the review of Manager Li. Ye Xiaoxuan took the plan that was once again rejected and returned to her workstation as if all the energy had been drained out. Then, she received news that a meeting was going to be held.
The emotions that I had been holding back for the whole day could no longer be suppressed. Damn, this life is unbearable. This is so unfair.
