After being chewed out by my supervisor, I quickly made my way to the break room and messaged Xiao Huaisu.
Trembling, I replied to Xiao Huaisu angrily: "You you you—this was entrapment! You went too far!" Where's your humanity, huh?
With a clear tone, he only further added: "Alright then, I'll be waiting for that picture of yours." And along with this line, he also sent a rarely seen smiling emoji.
"Why would you say such a thing..."
I thought that Xiao Huaisu had given this to me in apology for that time he entrapped me, so when I was in front of him, I never stuck to my principles, only silently forgiving him. My heart was way too soft, and I couldn't even help it.
Anyway, due to my sliced salary, I decided to tighten my belt. So for the past few days, I had prepared some very simple meals. But, during lunch, seeing those few pieces of greens and shredded potatoes in my container again, had made me feel instant sadness. I got the feeling that if I ate this stuff one more time, I might just end up becoming the darn dish.
"Hey, I saw a man who was the splitting image of you at Qianhua today! Was it you?! Anyway, when are you heading back to France? I want to take Li You with me to see you off!"
It really seems there are still a lot of good people in this world....
But who would've thought he'd end up bringing me lunch for half of the month. Never once once sending it via someone else, only hand delivering it to me himself.
"Why would you say such a thing..."
So because of this, after a while, rumours began circulating around the entire company. My colleagues all thought I was not too far from death and the president was just delivering me my last meals.
While sighing with relief, I immediately sent the picture to Xiao Huaisu at the same time, excitedly saying: "Doesn't he look similar? Tell me he doesn't look similar?! The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's really you!"
"..." This series of ellipsis was all he sent back in return.
Respectfully, I replied to Manager Lin: "I will deeply reflect on my behaviour." Well, more like, reexamine my own IQ.
I had no clue what he meant by those so I added: "Seriously, that guy was a dead ringer for you! But since you're going back to France, there's no way it could actually be you. I'll sneak a pic of him later for you to see. That guy is our president, you know!"
With a clear tone, he only further added: "Alright then, I'll be waiting for that picture of yours." And along with this line, he also sent a rarely seen smiling emoji.
Not long after this exchange, while I was still uneasy because of Xiao Huaisu's arrival (as my boss), Manager Lin angrily strode over to me and called me into his office.
I had no clue what he meant by those so I added: "Seriously, that guy was a dead ringer for you! But since you're going back to France, there's no way it could actually be you. I'll sneak a pic of him later for you to see. That guy is our president, you know!"
After a moment had passed, in a tone which held no particular emotions, Xiao Huaisu sent a simply reply: "Okay."
Anyhow, I have no idea who did it, but within ten minutes, news of my salary deduction had spread throughout the entire office. Everyone now knew there was a new employee, who in wanting to attract the attention of the president by аsserting themself at a company meeting, had only shot themself in the foot in their attempt to fly too close to the sun. Not only did they manage to offend the President, they also got themself chewed out by the manager of the department and half his salary deducted on top of that. Tsk tsk tsk.
Being moved at their concern still, I turned to look at them then reply: "If I'm poisoned by our president, it would be a type of blessing too, right?"
After I was done speaking, Xiao Huaisu replied: "Li Tian, you really are stupid beyond all measure."
I was both pleasantly surprised and fearful after seeing his words. Taking a second to allow myself to calm down, I then spat out: "So it really wasn't you." Okay, I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed. But remembering that Xaio Huaisu was waiting for me to snap the secret pictures to send to him perked me right back up again.
I humbly opened the container to see the bounty of dishes it held inside. But what left me in shock, was... T-these... these were the dishes I messaged him in my reply last night when he asked what I liked to eat. I told him I liked sweet and sour pork, broccoli in garlic sauce, chicken wings, etc. were all delicious. Even though I couldn't see the expressions of all the co-workers around me at that moment, I could feel them... what do you call it, stare daggers into my back? But the thing was, I just didn't care that much at the moment, only picking up my chopsticks to excitedly dig in.
After I was done speaking, Xiao Huaisu replied: "Li Tian, you really are stupid beyond all measure."
"Isn't it just due to you being too stupid?"
"Why would you say such a thing..."
Respectfully, I replied to Manager Lin: "I will deeply reflect on my behaviour." Well, more like, reexamine my own IQ.
"Why would you say such a thing..."
There really is still a lot of good people in this world
With a clear tone, he only further added: "Alright then, I'll be waiting for that picture of yours." And along with this line, he also sent a rarely seen smiling emoji.
Not long after this exchange, while I was still uneasy because of Xiao Huaisu's arrival (as my boss), Manager Lin angrily strode over to me and called me into his office.
Huh...
Dammit! If you weren't my daughter's father, do you think I'd indulge you?
Figuring I was completely absorbed in eating, Xiao Huaisu didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. As I ate, I had no time to thank him at all, but with my salary being cut for the month, I didn't see not thanking him as much as of an issue.
After checking the time, I left the break room. Right after I got back to my desk, I began thinking up ways to snap that pic of the president without anyone seeing me. But, right at that moment, the office atmosphere suddenly became noisy before instantly turning quiet. All that could be heard was the sound of successive fingers hitting keyboards. I lifted my head as much as I could to steal a peek at our departments entrance, just in time to see that man who was the splitting image of Xiao Huaisu!
But... could it be that he doesn't know know a smiling emoji couldn't be sent to others so casually nowadays? However, when I thought about it some more, I figured it could just be because of the seven or eight years between him and me. If just three years is considered a generation gap, how many generation gaps would this difference add up to? So, fortunately, I understood his sending of a smiling emoji simply meant him sending me a smile. If not, wouldn't it then mean he was mocking me instead?
N/A
Trembling, I replied to Xiao Huaisu angrily: "You you you—this was entrapment! You went too far!" Where's your humanity, huh?
Thus, due to this reason, over the past few days, my workload was sharply reduced. They all thought that since my days were numbered, they couldn't bear making my last few so busy that my feet couldn't even touch the ground.
After he gave me the lunch box, he ignored the dropped jaws of everyone around us, calmly saying: "Eat it all."
Not long after this exchange, while I was still uneasy because of Xiao Huaisu's arrival (as my boss), Manager Lin angrily strode over to me and called me into his office.
Filled with curiosity, I asked him: "Do you have any relatives that look a lot like you, by chance? Our president really does look especially like you, so if I didn't know you were leaving, I would've actually thought it was you. You two just look so similar, like, really similar."
When I heard the words 'incredibly scheming'—I, from the bottom of my heart, felt sincere joy. What do you think scheming represents, huh? Can a person who has no IQ be a schemer? What those words mean is that in the eyes of my co-workers, I actually have skills! My dear comrades, these words were really your praise and recognition!
I thought that Xiao Huaisu had given this to me in apology for that time he entrapped me, so when I was in front of him, I never stuck to my principles, only silently forgiving him. My heart was way too soft, and I couldn't even help it.
While sighing with relief, I immediately sent the picture to Xiao Huaisu at the same time, excitedly saying: "Doesn't he look similar? Tell me he doesn't look similar?! The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's really you!"
"Did I ever tell you that I have a twin brother?"
iana: I really do love me some dumb MCs and MLs. In attempts to play one another, they play themselves, and it is beautiful!
Just then I remembered Xiao Huaisu sarcastically asking me what I liked eating the day before, and the thought of it seriously pissed me off.
I humbly opened the container to see the bounty of dishes it held inside. But what left me in shock, was... T-these... these were the dishes I messaged him in my reply last night when he asked what I liked to eat. I told him I liked sweet and sour pork, broccoli in garlic sauce, chicken wings, etc. were all delicious. Even though I couldn't see the expressions of all the co-workers around me at that moment, I could feel them... what do you call it, stare daggers into my back? But the thing was, I just didn't care that much at the moment, only picking up my chopsticks to excitedly dig in.
I stared at the phone screen in shock: "What?! How come I never knew about that!" After typing this, with fifty percent hesitance, and another fifty of doubt, I asked: "Are you messing with me right now?"
Even Zhang Dong thought I was not far form becoming unemployed, giving me a rarely seen smile of warmth, as he patted me on the shoulder and said in consolation: "After you leave, remember to not act so impulsively again, alright? Everything will be better when you get to a new company. I wish you good luck." That tone of hi did have some pity in it though.
"Yes, I am messing with you. But I'm still waiting on that picture, though."
When I got to his office, Manager Lin was leaning back in his chair wearing a disappointed frown as he said to me: "I saw the notice from the finance department regarding half of you monthly salary being deducted. About why half of you salary is being seized, you can just think over this reason properly yourself. Know there is no use in you trying to say anything to me, or for you to be aggrieved; after all, it was a mistake you made yourself to begin with.
My Mister Perfect is a real jokester, ain't he? Anyhow, all excited-like, I sent him a reply: "Got it! I'll take one and send it to you later."
Thus, due to this reason, over the past few days, my workload was sharply reduced. They all thought that since my days were numbered, they couldn't bear making my last few so busy that my feet couldn't even touch the ground.
But who would've thought he'd end up bringing me lunch for half of the month. Never once once sending it via someone else, only hand delivering it to me himself.

I lifted my head as much as I could to steal a peek at our departments entrance, just in time to see that man who was the splitting image of Xiao Huaisu!
Xiao Huai Su, you are truly cruel...
It was like... It was like having a bucket of cold water being dumped over my head—chilling me to the bone, freezing me to my core.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
It was like a prayer being answered. Did the president know I wanted to sneak a pic of him so he came to our department on purpose for me to snap it? I giggled stupidly as I lifted my phone and pointed it to the entrance before clicking. It looked as though the president sensed something, because his gaze faintly swept my way, making that heart of mine want to jump out my chest! My head immediately lowered following this, as I then put my phone away to put on the pretence of working seriously. Scared shіtless he suddenly make his way over here and realise I took a pic of him in secret.
I was in dire need of some acknowledgement right then, so I was especially happy and rather moved. Finally, there were people who thought I was a schemer and had skills.
Just then I remembered Xiao Huaisu sarcastically asking me what I liked eating the day before, and the thought of it seriously pissed me off.
Thus, due to this reason, over the past few days, my workload was sharply reduced. They all thought that since my days were numbered, they couldn't bear making my last few so busy that my feet couldn't even touch the ground.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
"Isn't it just because I put too much trust in you?!" What about that minimum level of trust that should exist between two people, huh?! I'm actually hurt.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
Xiao Huaisu simply sent a frosty sentence in return: "Playing on one's cellular device, along with secretly taking pictures of others, during office hours. I will be informing the financial department to have half of you salary for this month deducted, in efforts to nip such behaviours in the bud."
Not long after I sent it, I suddenly got a feeling... a feeling that something wasn't right. Qiao Damai only told me about Xiao Huaisu submitting his resignation, nobody ever said anything about him going back to France, right? I then scrolled through my phone to find a picture of Xiao Huaisu to compare the secret pic to, and in that instant, my fortune allowed me to gain clarity. Also making me tremble as I racked my brain for anything that could allow me to salvage my image.
After a moment had passed, in a tone which held no particular emotions, Xiao Huaisu sent a simply reply: "Okay."
My colleague's face looked as though it had been struck by lightening. Staring dead at me, he gave me a thumbs up, saying: "You certainly deserve your reputation. If someone like you doesn't make it to the top, it would truly be an injustice."
So because of this, after a while, rumours began circulating around the entire company. My colleagues all thought I was not too far from death and the president was just delivering me my last meals.
While sighing with relief, I immediately sent the picture to Xiao Huaisu at the same time, excitedly saying: "Doesn't he look similar? Tell me he doesn't look similar?! The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's really you!"
Seeing I was obedient and calm, Manager Lin's tone softened as he added: "Just don't be so impulsive next time, alright? Why did you act so rashly in such a situation?" Seeming to still be unsettled by his recollection of the situation even now, Manager Lin patted his chest and waved his hand to usher me away.

But with so much delicious food in front of me, even poison wouldn't stop me from munching down on it at full speed!

And thus, the entire company soon received word of the incredibly scheming new hire who was outrageous enough to try climbing the corporate ladder through the use of unscrupulous means, only to have met a miserable end.
After being chewed out by my supervisor, I quickly made my way to the break room and messaged Xiao Huaisu.
Beside me, one of my colleges who was sitting the closest to me warned: "Hey, be careful, it might be poisoned..." In their eyes, our president did not leave a good impression. So, naturally, him delivering me something to eat in person while wearing a stern face, would absolutely register as a problem.
It was like... It was like having a bucket of cold water being dumped over my head—chilling me to the bone, freezing me to my core.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.

Again, the sounds of bustling had returned to the office. My colleagues were all carrying on, whispering and gushing about how intoxicatingly handsome Xiao Huaisu was. But having no interest in doing so, I just stared straight at my phone.
Being moved at their concern still, I turned to look at them then reply: "If I'm poisoned by our president, it would be a type of blessing too, right?"

"Why would you say such a thing..."
Even though my expression to Xiao Huaisu before was a very pissed one, the truth was I was also overjoyed at the thought of him not really going back to France and him working at the same company as me—like, really happy.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
When I got to his office, Manager Lin was leaning back in his chair wearing a disappointed frown as he said to me: "I saw the notice from the finance department regarding half of you monthly salary being deducted.

Not long after this exchange, while I was still uneasy because of Xiao Huaisu's arrival (as my boss), Manager Lin angrily strode over to me and called me into his office.
He must've regretted deducting my pay , and is now feeling guilty. Otherwise, why else would he have given me such a lavish meal? But he still ignored the gazes of everyone in here to stride in here all imposing-like to deliver it himself, which made it hard for me to figure him out. The more I thought about it, the more I felt he actually intended for me to be hated! Old ginger is really more spicy, huh! Those out there with experience under their belt are seriously more adept when it comes to acting out their wicked intentions!
And thus, the entire company soon received word of the incredibly scheming new hire who was outrageous enough to try climbing the corporate ladder through the use of unscrupulous means, only to have met a miserable end.

Respectfully, I replied to Manager Lin: "I will deeply reflect on my behaviour." Well, more like, reexamine my own IQ.
Dammit! If you weren't my daughter's father, do you think I'd indulge you?
But who would've thought he'd end up bringing me lunch for half of the month. Never once once sending it via someone else, only hand delivering it to me himself.
After all, I was a guy who sent he past few days eating greens with plain-аss rice and picked mustard root! So when I saw meat, how could I not be moved?
My colleague's face looked as though it had been struck by lightening. Staring dead at me, he gave me a thumbs up, saying: "You certainly deserve your reputation. If someone like you doesn't make it to the top, it would truly be an injustice."

Of course while I was experiencing this happiness the thought of half my salary getting flushed down the drain made that pain of the cash flying away from my wallet crop up again as well.

What those words mean is that in the eyes of my co-workers, I actually have skills! My dear comrades, these words were really your praise and recognition!
Stuffing the green leaf in to my mouth, I chewed mechanically and mercilessly tossed blame towards that inhuman, Xiao Huaisu. Right then, out of nowhere, a hand stretched out from behind me with an exquisite looking—and super huge—lunch box held in it. When I turned around to see who it was, it turned out to be Xiao Huaisu of all people, looking at me and motioning for me to catch it.
Huh...
After checking the time, I left the break room. Right after I got back to my desk, I began thinking up ways to snap that pic of the president without anyone seeing me. But, right at that moment, the office atmosphere suddenly became noisy before instantly turning quiet. All that could be heard was the sound of successive fingers hitting keyboards. I lifted my head as much as I could to steal a peek at our departments entrance, just in time to see that man who was the splitting image of Xiao Huaisu!

Also making me tremble as I racked my brain for anything that could allow me to salvage my image.
I thought that Xiao Huaisu had given this to me in apology for that time he entrapped me, so when I was in front of him, I never stuck to my principles, only silently forgiving him. My heart was way too soft, and I couldn't even help it.
Figuring I was completely absorbed in eating, Xiao Huaisu didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. As I ate, I had no time to thank him at all, but with my salary being cut for the month, I didn't see not thanking him as much as of an issue.
I had no clue what he meant by those so I added: "Seriously, that guy was a dead ringer for you! But since you're going back to France, there's no way it could actually be you. I'll sneak a pic of him later for you to see. That guy is our president, you know!"
Anyway, due to my sliced salary, I decided to tighten my belt. So for the past few days, I had prepared some very simple meals. But, during lunch, seeing those few pieces of greens and shredded potatoes in my container again, had made me feel instant sadness. I got the feeling that if I ate this stuff one more time, I might just end up becoming the darn dish.
My Mister Perfect is a real jokester, ain't he? Anyhow, all excited-like, I sent him a reply: "Got it! I'll take one and send it to you later."
Just then I remembered Xiao Huaisu sarcastically asking me what I liked eating the day before, and the thought of it seriously pissed me off.
It was like a prayer being answered. Did the president know I wanted to sneak a pic of him so he came to our department on purpose for me to snap it? I giggled stupidly as I lifted my phone and pointed it to the entrance before clicking. It looked as though the president sensed something, because his gaze faintly swept my way, making that heart of mine want to jump out my chest! My head immediately lowered following this, as I then put my phone away to put on the pretence of working seriously. Scared shіtless he suddenly make his way over here and realise I took a pic of him in secret.
Ugh, how could my perfect man be this bad? Does he know I've been put through the wringer at this company, suffer criticisms, and on top of that not even having enough to eat?

I was both pleasantly surprised and fearful after seeing his words. Taking a second to allow myself to calm down, I then spat out: "So it really wasn't you." Okay, I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed. But remembering that Xaio Huaisu was waiting for me to snap the secret pictures to send to him perked me right back up again.
"Hey, I saw a man who was the splitting image of you at Qianhua today! Was it you?! Anyway, when are you heading back to France? I want to take Li You with me to see you off!"
Dammit! If you weren't my daughter's father, do you think I'd indulge you?
But who would've thought he'd end up bringing me lunch for half of the month. Never once once sending it via someone else, only hand delivering it to me himself.
Stuffing the green leaf in to my mouth, I chewed mechanically and mercilessly tossed blame towards that inhuman, Xiao Huaisu. Right then, out of nowhere, a hand stretched out from behind me with an exquisite looking—and super huge—lunch box held in it. When I turned around to see who it was, it turned out to be Xiao Huaisu of all people, looking at me and motioning for me to catch it.
So because of this, after a while, rumours began circulating around the entire company. My colleagues all thought I was not too far from death and the president was just delivering me my last meals.
After he gave me the lunch box, he ignored the dropped jaws of everyone around us, calmly saying: "Eat it all."
"Isn't it just because I put too much trust in you?!" What about that minimum level of trust that should exist between two people, huh?! I'm actually hurt.
Trembling, I replied to Xiao Huaisu angrily: "You you you—this was entrapment! You went too far!" Where's your humanity, huh?
Again, the sounds of bustling had returned to the office. My colleagues were all carrying on, whispering and gushing about how intoxicatingly handsome Xiao Huaisu was. But having no interest in doing so, I just stared straight at my phone.
Huh...
While sighing with relief, I immediately sent the picture to Xiao Huaisu at the same time, excitedly saying: "Doesn't he look similar? Tell me he doesn't look similar?! The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's really you!"
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
Anyway, due to my sliced salary, I decided to tighten my belt. So for the past few days, I had prepared some very simple meals. But, during lunch, seeing those few pieces of greens and shredded potatoes in my container again, had made me feel instant sadness. I got the feeling that if I ate this stuff one more time, I might just end up becoming the darn dish.
I humbly opened the container to see the bounty of dishes it held inside. But what left me in shock, was... T-these... these were the dishes I messaged him in my reply last night when he asked what I liked to eat. I told him I liked sweet and sour pork, broccoli in garlic sauce, chicken wings, etc. were all delicious. Even though I couldn't see the expressions of all the co-workers around me at that moment, I could feel them... what do you call it, stare daggers into my back? But the thing was, I just didn't care that much at the moment, only picking up my chopsticks to excitedly dig in.
My colleague's face looked as though it had been struck by lightening. Staring dead at me, he gave me a thumbs up, saying: "You certainly deserve your reputation. If someone like you doesn't make it to the top, it would truly be an injustice."
After checking the time, I left the break room. Right after I got back to my desk, I began thinking up ways to snap that pic of the president without anyone seeing me. But, right at that moment, the office atmosphere suddenly became noisy before instantly turning quiet. All that could be heard was the sound of successive fingers hitting keyboards. I lifted my head as much as I could to steal a peek at our departments entrance, just in time to see that man who was the splitting image of Xiao Huaisu!
iana: I really do love me some dumb MCs and MLs. In attempts to play one another, they play themselves, and it is beautiful!
After all, I was a guy who sent he past few days eating greens with plain-аss rice and picked mustard root! So when I saw meat, how could I not be moved?
But with so much delicious food in front of me, even poison wouldn't stop me from munching down on it at full speed!
Figuring I was completely absorbed in eating, Xiao Huaisu didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. As I ate, I had no time to thank him at all, but with my salary being cut for the month, I didn't see not thanking him as much as of an issue.
Beside me, one of my colleges who was sitting the closest to me warned: "Hey, be careful, it might be poisoned..." In their eyes, our president did not leave a good impression. So, naturally, him delivering me something to eat in person while wearing a stern face, would absolutely register as a problem.
When I finally managed to lift my head again to take another look, he was already gone.
After a moment had passed, in a tone which held no particular emotions, Xiao Huaisu sent a simply reply: "Okay."
"Isn't it just because I put too much trust in you?!" What about that minimum level of trust that should exist between two people, huh?! I'm actually hurt.
Not long after this exchange, while I was still uneasy because of Xiao Huaisu's arrival (as my boss), Manager Lin angrily strode over to me and called me into his office.
He must've regretted deducting my pay , and is now feeling guilty. Otherwise, why else would he have given me such a lavish meal? But he still ignored the gazes of everyone in here to stride in here all imposing-like to deliver it himself, which made it hard for me to figure him out. The more I thought about it, the more I felt he actually intended for me to be hated! Old ginger is really more spicy, huh! Those out there with experience under their belt are seriously more adept when it comes to acting out their wicked intentions!
After a moment had passed, in a tone which held no particular emotions, Xiao Huaisu sent a simply reply: "Okay."
"Why would you say such a thing..."
Anyway, due to my sliced salary, I decided to tighten my belt. So for the past few days, I had prepared some very simple meals. But, during lunch, seeing those few pieces of greens and shredded potatoes in my container again, had made me feel instant sadness. I got the feeling that if I ate this stuff one more time, I might just end up becoming the darn dish.

So, naturally, him delivering me something to eat in person while wearing a stern face, would absolutely register as a problem.
Filled with curiosity, I asked him: "Do you have any relatives that look a lot like you, by chance? Our president really does look especially like you, so if I didn't know you were leaving, I would've actually thought it was you. You two just look so similar, like, really similar."
Huh...
"Did I ever tell you that I have a twin brother?"
My colleague's face looked as though it had been struck by lightening. Staring dead at me, he gave me a thumbs up, saying: "You certainly deserve your reputation. If someone like you doesn't make it to the top, it would truly be an injustice."
Trembling, I replied to Xiao Huaisu angrily: "You you you—this was entrapment! You went too far!" Where's your humanity, huh?

When I turned around to see who it was, it turned out to be Xiao Huaisu of all people, looking at me and motioning for me to catch it.
Seeing I was obedient and calm, Manager Lin's tone softened as he added: "Just don't be so impulsive next time, alright? Why did you act so rashly in such a situation?" Seeming to still be unsettled by his recollection of the situation even now, Manager Lin patted his chest and waved his hand to usher me away.

But the thing was, I just didn't care that much at the moment, only picking up my chopsticks to excitedly dig in.
Being moved at their concern still, I turned to look at them then reply: "If I'm poisoned by our president, it would be a type of blessing too, right?"
Again, the sounds of bustling had returned to the office. My colleagues were all carrying on, whispering and gushing about how intoxicatingly handsome Xiao Huaisu was. But having no interest in doing so, I just stared straight at my phone.

Respectfully, I replied to Manager Lin: "I will deeply reflect on my behaviour." Well, more like, reexamine my own IQ.
Just then I remembered Xiao Huaisu sarcastically asking me what I liked eating the day before, and the thought of it seriously pissed me off.
I thought that Xiao Huaisu had given this to me in apology for that time he entrapped me, so when I was in front of him, I never stuck to my principles, only silently forgiving him. My heart was way too soft, and I couldn't even help it.
After I was done speaking, Xiao Huaisu replied: "Li Tian, you really are stupid beyond all measure."
But who would've thought he'd end up bringing me lunch for half of the month. Never once once sending it via someone else, only hand delivering it to me himself.
One mistake really can cause lifelong sorrow, huh... My regret was instant...
After he gave me the lunch box, he ignored the dropped jaws of everyone around us, calmly saying: "Eat it all."
After all, I was a guy who sent he past few days eating greens with plain-аss rice and picked mustard root! So when I saw meat, how could I not be moved?
When I got to his office, Manager Lin was leaning back in his chair wearing a disappointed frown as he said to me: "I saw the notice from the finance department regarding half of you monthly salary being deducted. About why half of you salary is being seized, you can just think over this reason properly yourself. Know there is no use in you trying to say anything to me, or for you to be aggrieved; after all, it was a mistake you made yourself to begin with.
It really seems there are still a lot of good people in this world....
So because of this, after a while, rumours began circulating around the entire company. My colleagues all thought I was not too far from death and the president was just delivering me my last meals.
It was like... It was like having a bucket of cold water being dumped over my head—chilling me to the bone, freezing me to my core.
There really is still a lot of good people in this world

So, naturally, him delivering me something to eat in person while wearing a stern face, would absolutely register as a problem.
Even Zhang Dong thought I was not far form becoming unemployed, giving me a rarely seen smile of warmth, as he patted me on the shoulder and said in consolation: "After you leave, remember to not act so impulsively again, alright? Everything will be better when you get to a new company. I wish you good luck." That tone of hi did have some pity in it though.
I thought that Xiao Huaisu had given this to me in apology for that time he entrapped me, so when I was in front of him, I never stuck to my principles, only silently forgiving him. My heart was way too soft, and I couldn't even help it.
Thus, due to this reason, over the past few days, my workload was sharply reduced. They all thought that since my days were numbered, they couldn't bear making my last few so busy that my feet couldn't even touch the ground.
"Did I ever tell you that I have a twin brother?"
It really seems there are still a lot of good people in this world....
I was both pleasantly surprised and fearful after seeing his words. Taking a second to allow myself to calm down, I then spat out: "So it really wasn't you."

Being moved at their concern still, I turned to look at them then reply: "If I'm poisoned by our president, it would be a type of blessing too, right?"
_____o(*￣▽￣*)ブ_____
Even though my expression to Xiao Huaisu before was a very pissed one, the truth was I was also overjoyed at the thought of him not really going back to France and him working at the same company as me—like, really happy.
So because of this, after a while, rumours began circulating around the entire company. My colleagues all thought I was not too far from death and the president was just delivering me my last meals.
"Yes, I am messing with you. But I'm still waiting on that picture, though."
Xiao Huaisu simply sent a frosty sentence in return: "Playing on one's cellular device, along with secretly taking pictures of others, during office hours. I will be informing the financial department to have half of you salary for this month deducted, in efforts to nip such behaviours in the bud."
Ugh, how could my perfect man be this bad? Does he know I've been put through the wringer at this company, suffer criticisms, and on top of that not even having enough to eat?
