Chapter 684 Xu Xiaoman's Story (Part 2) (Additional Chapter 22 for Niu Baobao's Caterpillar)
Xu Xiaoman resigned, and she took the initiative to submit her resignation letter.
"Lili..."
She hugged her few good friends tiredly, and they helped her pull the suitcase into the room.
"You look tired, what's wrong?"
Lili touched Xu Xiaoman's hair distressedly.
"Oh, don't mention it. I worked overtime all day and night but didn't get overtime pay. My salary was delayed for several months and I didn't get it. When I asked, they just played Tai Chi. Then a few days ago, they suddenly said they had something to do and had to go to the bank to transfer money. They also insisted on confirming with the legal representative. As a result, our manager's phone number couldn't be reached no matter how hard we tried, and the other person we could find couldn't be reached either. Finally, after a long delay, we finally got through, but he actually went home and turned off his phone to sleep. I vomited! He just replied to a voice message in the morning, and he went home to sleep in the afternoon. It's outrageous!"
Xu Xiaoman pursed her lips and complained, "Then the bank finally approved it, and I found that the password given by the higher-ups was wrong. I really, uh, I was about to collapse at that time. After finally confirming the password, the bank said that this was not our company's password, but the password of the subsidiary company. Anyway, they kept asking again! "
"Our manager is really disgusting. He never sends messages actively. You can only contact him. He never contacts you. We continued to send messages and call to ask. It was obviously they who insisted on dragging their feet... And the deadline for the transfer was four o'clock. It was impossible to catch up. In the end, we had to call and beg them to make some concessions before they paid it. I was so tired."
Xu Xiaoman was tired when she talked about it, and her tone became heavier.
"Then when we went back, I took a taxi. I told Sister Wang, my roommate, about the taxi fare. She said that you should ask the team leader to reimburse yourself. This is all public accounts. When I went back to find the team leader, he called him out alone and criticized him and gave me chicken soup. I asked if he could give me the salary first, and then he started to push the responsibility. I really couldn't stand it. I thought about it for several days and ran away. "
"Oh my god, this is too miserable. "
Lili hugged her again.
"Oh, let's not talk about this... Thank you for taking me in..."
Xu Xiaoman sniffed.
"I'm going to work soon, you take a rest first, I'll send you the address and you can order takeout directly."
"Yeah, okay."
Xu Xiaoman nodded and watched her friend leave.
She lay on the sofa for a while, opened the chat window with her boyfriend and looked through the records. The reply from the other side was always a simple one or two sentences, and every time he apologized and said he was busy.
Xu Xiaoman watched and watched, and she became more and more tired.
She sat up silently and ordered takeout. This area is far from the city center, and drones can't fly over, so she can only order real people to deliver. Fortunately, the cost is about the same. Xu Xiaoman clicked to confirm, and was hungry and paralyzed for nearly an hour, and finally received a call.
"Why can't you get in touch!"
The other side was anxious as soon as he opened his mouth.
"......Ah?"
Xu Xiaoman asked blankly and aggrievedly, "So you are?"
"Takeaway!"
The other side said unhappily, "Open the door! I've been ringing the doorbell for a long time!"
"Oh, oh, okay."
Xu Xiaoman hurriedly responded and stumbled to the door. She was not familiar with the facilities in her friend's house. She squinted her eyes for a long time before finding the small key symbol on the transponder that was worn out.
"Huh, it's okay..."
She smacked her lips and muttered, "What kind of impatience, can't you be more friendly..."
As a result, more than ten minutes passed without any sound, and Xu Xiaoman received another call.
"You called the ladder!"
The takeaway's voice was intermittent.
"Ah?" Xu Xiaoman was stunned, "What do you mean by 'called a kick'? Wait, sorry, your signal is down... Hello? Hello?"
"What..."
She stood there blankly, hungry for too long, stomach acid rising, and the menstruation that had not yet ended was aching again.
"Forget it, let's go downstairs to get the takeaway."
Xu Xiaoman wrapped herself in a coat and put on her shoes. She looked around and found that Lili didn't leave a key, so she had to use a slipper to lock the door, and then rushed to the elevator to wait.
...Ah.
She suddenly realized that this was "calling the elevator". The elevator in Lili's apartment needs to be activated by dropping the access card. The takeaway man should be standing in the elevator waiting for her to press the elevator.
But Xu Xiaoman has never lived in such an apartment and doesn't know this setting, so she didn't react just now.
The elevator fell all the way down. She didn't see the takeaway man on the first floor, so she had to walk out the door. Through the door, she saw the takeaway man ringing the doorbell again. He might have realized that he couldn't hear the sound when he was on the phone next to the elevator.
Xu Xiaoman hurriedly opened the door: "Hello! I'm here to pick up the takeaway... I didn't react just now..."
"You're really good. I have a lot of orders coming up, but you delayed them all. What kind of person are you!"
The takeaway man interrupted Xu Xiaoman's words, complained, stuffed the plastic bag into her hand and turned away.
"I..."
Xu Xiaoman opened her mouth, and all the grievances came up. She lowered her head and carried the takeaway box to the elevator. When she stood in the elevator, she realized that she didn't have an access card this time and couldn't use the elevator.
"..."
Xu Xiaoman closed her eyes uncomfortably and climbed up to the twelfth floor step by step with the plastic bag.
She couldn't slow down because she was worried that the door stuck in her slippers would be robbed. Her heart was pounding all the way up.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Xu Xiaoman took off her slippers, closed the door, and put the takeaway on the table.
This is a fast food chain she likes very much. The chicken drumstick rice there is delicious... She originally wanted to rely on food to heal her mood.
When she opened the plastic box, Xu Xiaoman realized that after so much trouble, the rice was already cold. She was also too hungry and tired to eat anything.
"...Alas."
She put down the disposable chopsticks, covered her stomach and lay on the sofa, and took out her mobile phone.
There was no news from her boyfriend. Xu Xiaoman no longer wanted to open the chat window with expectations, but casually clicked on a recent popular battle game.
She clicked on the 2V2 random match, and saw on the loading page that her teammate was a female character with a very cute face, and she felt a little relieved.
The female players in the game are more or less friendly, even if they are not strong. It doesn't matter. Xu Xiaoman's level is also average, so she just plays casually to relax.
The battle started immediately, and Xu Xiaoman said "Oops". She was too busy recently and forgot that the game had just been updated once, and the previously set habitual key position was also reset. She accidentally missed a big move.
"Brother, are you sick? You can't use your ultimate skill without a control skill!"
But I didn't expect my teammates to curse directly on the microphone.
The voice was crisp, and it was indeed a girl, but she cursed mercilessly.
Xu Xiaoman pulled the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes. She wanted to apologize, but now she didn't want to talk.
She chose a male character and made her face according to her boyfriend's. It was just a personal preference. But the opponent saw the character and assumed that she was a man. He kept insulting her passionately from beginning to end. "Chicken", "trash", "waste" and other words poured into her ears. Xu Xiaoman was already in a bad state. She became more and more annoyed as she played, so she simply turned the volume to mute.
As expected, she lost this game. Xu Xiaoman stared at the settlement page for a while, thinking what a mess it was. As soon as she exited, she saw that the small number next to the prompt bar was increasing. She clicked it and found that it was the friend request from the player just now. She was still chasing and scolding her. She sent many requests in a row. The reasons for the application were written as "I have never seen a waste like you", "Go to hell, trash" and so on.
Xu Xiaoman's face was burning, she felt ashamed and sad. She knew she was a bad player, but it was just a game! Is it that important? There's no need to divide the slaves like this!
She quit the game and curled up into a ball.
After a while, Xu Xiaoman raised her face from her messy hair, reached into her pocket, and took out her headphones.
Please, I just want to feel better... Listening to a song won't bother others, right?
She bit her lips hard, but the headphone wires were tangled into a tangled ball. She tried to untie it, but it didn't work for a long time.
Suddenly, Xu Xiaoman threw the headphones hard outside the sofa.
She broke down and cried out.
