C9 The Tip of the Iceberg

I continued to read.

"At the orphanage, the girl received support from an unknown couple who regularly gave money to the orphanage, from primary school to university, until the girl graduated from university and joined a job. The kind couple never met. It wasn't until a year ago that the couple finally showed their faces, and the girl saw the benefactor who brought her up … "

Good people, good people! I was filled with emotion.

"The couple are members of the system. They were married when they helped her and are now a pair of senior officials in the city. Faced with a benefactor whom she hadn't seen for 28 years, the girl shed tears of gratitude, fell to her knees, and was willing to repay the kindness of nurturing her for the rest of her life.

Seeing the grown up girl, the couple said they didn't want any material reward for their gratitude. They only asked the girl to be their daughter-in-law because they had a son about the same age as the girl. However, this son of his is a typical popinjay, always interacting with people in the society … "

I suddenly thought of Li Shun! So he was the son of Qiu Tong's savior. No wonder he was so arrogant towards Qiu Tong.

"In the face of my benefactor's request, the girl cannot refuse and can only agree. Every time she thought about how she was going to spend her life with such a man, the girl could only silently shed tears and sigh about her fate. God had given her life, but he had given her a lifetime. Perhaps, this is really fate. Everything is the arrangement of fate. "

My heart shook as I continued to read.

"Actually, I think you already know who this girl is. I'm sorry, I was drunk and said a lot. You are a familiar yet strange friend of mine. I have told you the truth of my heart, but I also seem to have received some kind of release. Perhaps you will never see these words, but I will still speak to you.

Outsider, you are my air. I would rather turn myself into air and be able to search for that ubiquitous tacit understanding in the virtual space with you. "However, I still know that in my real world, this is just a dream. I never would have thought that in this virtual space, this is still just a dream …"

After reading the dreamlike messages, my heart was completely shocked!

I repeatedly looked at the dreamlike messages, thinking about my beautiful superior Qiu Tong who was high above me in reality. My heart was trembling, and the hand holding the mouse was also shaking. I kept telling myself that I had made a difficult decision, but I didn't dare to move the mouse …

Time passed, and it was late at night.

Finally, with a sigh, I made a difficult decision: to keep my floating life as a good friend.

That night, Floating Life didn't come online, and I didn't reply to his message.

I didn't sleep that night.

At this moment, of course I didn't know that Qiu Tong's birth had just surfaced and revealed the tip of an ice mountain that could shake the heavens.

The next day, I was so depressed that I couldn't get out of what I had seen last night. The real Qiutong and the virtual world were like a dream, revolving in my mind and spending the whole day in a trance.

In the afternoon, he returned to his dorm room, changed into a tracksuit, and ran along Xi'an Road to a shady street square. It was late in the afternoon and there weren't many people around, so I jogged through the woods, swinging my fists and thinking about what had happened last night.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt. In this world, there were many depressing and helpless things. When a person was alive, they would suffer, and they would be in purgatory. He could not help but let out a loud roar as he swung his palm towards a bowl-sized tree trunk and struck it with all his might. The tree trunk trembled, and the leaves began to fall.

Just then, a woman hurried out of the woods and approached me.

Their gazes met, and I was stunned. Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong was startled when she saw me. She hurriedly took two steps back.

Looking at Qiu Tong, I remembered the message that I left last night that seemed to be floating in a dream, I recalled Qiu Tong's desolate life and the helpless situation she was in, and suddenly felt a great pain and pity in my heart. I completely forgot that this was my female superior, and forgot that I was a little hoodlum in her eyes.

"What do you want? Don't come over? " Qiu Tong continued retreating, panic flashing through her eyes. She gripped the small bag tightly, looked around, and loudly said, "If you dare move forward, I'll call for someone."

"You … "I …" I stared straight at Qiu Tong, watching her hurt and panic-stricken eyes, and I felt pain in my heart. I didn't think of her as a female superior at the moment. I only thought of her as an intimate person living in a dream. I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say.

I took another step forward, and a hand came up.

"Men, there are villains and hooligans." Qiu Tong suddenly shouted and quickly retreated, leaning against a large tree.

Qiu Tong's voice was drowned in the clamor and noise around us, but I could clearly hear her. I was jolted awake. This isn't a friend from the virtual world, this is my boss, Qiu Tong. In her eyes, I was not a talented exotic god in the air, but an unforgivable bastard. She was full of hatred and disgust for me, even contempt and disdain.

I stepped back and stared at her.

Qiu Tong carefully stared at me, then slowly moved past me. She suddenly sped away, walked for about ten meters, then stopped and turned her head. "Little brat, I'm warning you. If I meet you in the future and try to harm me, I'll call the police to arrest you."

With that, Qiu Tong jogged out of the forest, crossed the road, and entered a high-end restaurant.

I looked down at my tracksuit. I was glad I wasn't wearing my distributor's vest, or I would have been in big trouble.

Raising my head to look at the dusky sky above the forest, I couldn't help but to be at a loss. Why is there such a huge gap between reality and virtual reality for me, a fellow like Qiu Tong? The same me, why is it that on the Internet is a god and a soulmate, meeting each other is a bastard?

Looking at the blood-red light of the setting sun in the west, I was speechless.

Two days later, Yuan Duo suddenly brought back bad news from the company: I'm going to be fired.

It was all too sudden, and I couldn't help but ask, "Who's going to fire me? Director Qiu? "

"How could it be Director Qiu?" She doesn't even know who you are. " Yuan Duo looked at me in disbelief, "It's Boss Zhao."

I couldn't help but feel my balls hurt. How could I leave when I still hadn't taken back the net that I had cast down? Why did this Zhao Da Jian expel me?

Yuan Duo was very anxious and said it was because of a complaint. In one of the districts in which I was in charge of, there were 15 subscribers who did not receive a newspaper yesterday. The Supervisor Department of the company specifically checked the newspaper and reported it to Zhao Daxian, who was in charge of the distribution.

Was this a company rule, or was Zhao Dagang avenging a private grudge because 15 newspapers were not available to expel a person? I questioned it.

"It doesn't matter if he is a public or private person, there is indeed such a rule and it was formulated by Director Qiu after taking office." Yuan Duo looked at me, "Big Brother, did you really not send any newspapers from that district?"

"Impossible, I've delivered it to you with 100% confidence!" "No," I said firmly.

"But when the company's inspector went to investigate, why didn't they all report it?" Yuan Duo looked at me suspiciously.

"Do you believe me or them?" I don't like it.

Yuan Duo lowered her head and softly said, "Of course I believe in you, but —"

"How about this, you come with me to the real world to take a look."

Yuan Duo and I went to that district, and went from house to house to find those 15 subscribers who hadn't received any newspapers. When I asked them, they all said that there really were no newspapers in the newspaper box that day. From the looks of it, they didn't seem to be lying.

Perplexed, I went out to check the boxes. They were all intact. I had obviously put the newspaper in the newspaper box, so how could it not be there? Could it be that the newspaper had grown legs and ran away on its own?

Returning to Yuan Duo's office, she anxiously asked. I flipped through the list of 15 subscribers on the list. Suddenly, my mind clicked. All of these newspapers were given to me by Zhang Xiaotian's real estate company. How could there be such a coincidence? Could it be …

Just as I was thinking, Yuan Duo accidentally looked towards the door and became nervous. "Director Zhao is here —"

When I stood up, Yuan Duo grabbed my arm and hurriedly said, "Don't let him see you at this time. Hurry up and run!"

However, he couldn't get out no matter how hard he tried to avoid it.

Without thinking, Yuan Duo pushed me behind the filing cabinet in my office and said in a low, urgent voice, "Don't make a sound!"

I didn't have a choice because I didn't want to make things worse, and I didn't want to make things difficult for Yuan Duo.

Just as he hid behind the filing cabinet, Zhao Dazjian entered.

I've already made up my mind. If Zhao Da Jian is going against Yuan Duo again, I will come out and beat him up. I definitely won't let him succeed.

"Director Zhao, you're here. Please take a seat!" Yuan Duo's voice was somewhat nervous.

"Yuan Duo, why are you so nervous when you see me? Could it be that I can eat you?" Zhao Da Jian said.

"Director Zhao is the big boss, everyone in the company, whoever sees him, will not be nervous!" Yuan Duo smiled apologetically.

"They can be nervous, but you don't need to. Didn't I say that when it's just the two of us, don't call me Boss Zhao? Just Brother Zhao, or just Brother Zhao? " Zhao Da Jian's voice was somewhat ambiguous.

Yuan Duo did not respond, she said after a while, "Boss Zhao, what instructions do you have for standing here?"

"I'm here to discuss the matter with you. I'm here to fire that bird publisher named Ike or whatever. I'm here to fire him or her, but I can't delay the delivery of the newspaper. Have you found a substitute for his post?"

"How can it be found so quickly?"

"Then hurry up, I'll give you three days. After three days, you have to get the hell out of here!" Zhao Da Jian said arrogantly.

"But Director Zhao, I've managed to get Yike to carry it out. He said that the newspapers have all been delivered." Yuan Duo said, "I feel that this matter needs to be further verified and investigated. We cannot wrongly accuse a good person!"

"A good man?" Is he a good person? " Zhao Da Jian gave a loud humph and said, "What? Yuan Duo, as the head of a small distribution station, are you skeptical about the results of the company's inspection department's investigation? Are you dissatisfied with the company's leaders?

"That's not what I meant. I just feel that there's something fishy about this matter. I think we shouldn't be too arbitrary with this matter. Perhaps there's some other reason."

"I have the final say on the company's issue. Who would dare to challenge the decision that I've made? "If you want to expel someone, then fire that person. Not to mention that he made a job error, even if it doesn't happen, if I tell him to scram today, he definitely won't be able to stay here tomorrow?" Zhao Da Jian was obviously angry, "Yuan Duo, could it be that you want to fight with me for the sake of this poor bastard? "Don't forget, I appointed you as the station head. I can make you do this and I can take you down at any time. Don't not know what's good for you!"

Zhao Da Jian was extremely arrogant and domineering.
