Chapter 7: Back to Earth
Damn, Poplar almost jumped up in anger.
It turned out that he found that the thing the girl took out of her arms was his mobile phone.
He really wanted to show up and snatch the phone back immediately, but in the end he gave up on the idea for the time being.
Although he was a little resentful, at least he now knew the whereabouts of the phone.
Poplar withdrew his thoughts indignantly, glanced at the clock beside his bed, and saw that it was nearly nine o'clock.
Hey, suddenly he found that the snoring next door was gone, and it seemed that Wu Yi had woken up.
Later, he will take the other party's electric donkey to the company, so he must always keep up with the other party's footsteps.
quickly got dressed, opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Wu Yi brushing his teeth in the shared bathroom.
"Angkor, I'll trouble you to take me to the company later." Poplar said stiffly.
Wu Yi turned his head to look at him, and the expression on his face showed a hint of puzzlement.
After a long while, he nodded and replied, "Okay." Apparently at this time, he remembered that Poplar had told him about the theft of the battery car last night.
The rental house rented by Baiyang is not far from the food delivery company, and it only takes about ten minutes to ride a battery car, of course, if you walk there, it will be at least half an hour.
When the two came to the parking lot where the company was located, the parking lot was already full of battery cars delivering takeaways.
Of course, this parking lot is not owned by the delivery company, which only rents a dozen or so battery car parking spaces in this parking lot.
Bai Yang followed Wu Yi towards the building where the food delivery company was located, and met several colleagues along the way, and the eyes of those colleagues who looked at Bai Yang were full of inexplicable meaning.
Since they have only known each other for less than two days, the relationship between colleagues is still relatively estranged, and everyone just nods to each other to say hello.
The delivery company is located on the seventh floor of the building, and since there are fewer people using the elevator during this time, Baiyang quickly took the elevator to the seventh floor.
There are three companies on the seventh floor, the east side of which is a network technology company, the west half of the area belongs to the Mama food delivery company, and the other half belongs to a small financial company.
Mama's vegetable company is located on the north side of the west side of the seventh floor, with a total area of about 200 square meters.
Around the window, there are the boss's office, the HR director's office, and the financial director's office, and in the middle of these offices are densely placed more than a dozen desks, and only a few desks are placed on computers.
Most of the people sitting at the desks are playing games with their mobile phones, and the delivery company is quite leisurely without receiving takeout orders.
Through the glass partition wall of the general manager's office, Bai Yang vaguely saw a figure walking around in the office, which made him understand that Mr. Liu was in the office at this time.
Although it was a little difficult to speak, for the sake of his own money, he took a deep breath, and finally walked towards the general manager's office under great pressure.
On the way to the general manager's office, he tried to calm himself down, but the closer he got to the general manager's office, the more confused his mind became, and by the time he reached the door of the general manager's office, his mind was already blank.
He wanted to turn away, but after some hesitation, he finally knocked on the door of the general manager's office.
"Please come in!" A voice came from inside the door.
Poplar took a deep breath and opened the door and walked into the office.
I saw a not very tall figure standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window at the moment, looking at the majestic city at my feet, and when I heard the door open, the figure immediately turned around.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself and a little bowed, Bai Yang shouted respectfully: "Mr. Liu." ”
Seeing that it was Baiyang who came in, Mr. Liu's face immediately became gloomy, he nodded, walked to a sofa by the window, lit a cigarette for himself and sat down.
After Bai Yang closed the door, he followed the other party to the opposite side of the coffee table, although there was a sofa behind him, but he didn't dare to sit casually in front of the general manager.
"Tell me, what happened yesterday?" Without waiting for Poplar to speak, Mr. Liu asked with a frown after spitting out a smoke ring.
"Yesterday, my battery car was stolen." Poplar explained with his head down.
"Why can't I get through to you?" After taking two puffs of cigarette, Mr. Liu asked again.
Poplar was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "The phone was also stolen." This feeling of lying made him very uncomfortable, and his heart was full of apprehension, and he always felt like a thief.
"Huh." Mr. Liu shook his head inexplicably, and asked with a sneer: "Then what are you doing when you come back?" ”
"Me." Bai Yang glanced at Mr. Liu cautiously, and asked stubbornly, "Mr. Liu, can you borrow a battery car?" ”
"I can't." Mr. Liu resolutely refused.
"Ugh." Poplar didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, which was completely different from what he had guessed last night.
"As long as I have money, I will return it immediately." Poplar explained.
"No, it's just no." Mr. Liu shook his head in the haze and said.
Bai Yang was a little unwilling, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "Mr. Liu, can you advance this month's basic salary in advance?" ”
"Can't?" Mr. Liu still shook his head.
"Mr. Liu, I beg you." Poplar pleaded bitterly.
Mr. Liu screwed the cigarette holder in his hand into the ashtray, stood up and said: "The rules can't be broken, you go, our company is not suitable for you." ”
Bai Yang looked at Mr. Liu in front of him in a daze, he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, which made him very indignant.
He took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, then please settle my salary the day before yesterday." ”
Mr. Liu frowned and said: "Xiaobai, do you know how much loss you caused to our company yesterday, the economic loss alone has reached more than two hundred, which is not counting the loss of reputation, you are still asking me for wages, and it is already very good that Lao Tzu did not ask you for compensation, okay, you are no longer welcome here, you can go." ”
Poplar walked out of the office in a daze, and the moment he opened the door, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him with great curiosity.
It's just that at this time, his heart was filled with feelings of depression and despair, which made him invisibly abandon the interference of external factors.
Even Wu Yi, his roommate in the dormitory, ran over and offered condolences with concern, but it didn't bring him back to his senses.
Looking at Poplar walking out, Wu Yi scratched his hair, and finally returned to his position, although his relationship with Poplar was closer than that of other colleagues, but it was not so close that he gave up his job for the sake of the other party.
Poplar didn't know how he got out of the building, and he came to his senses when he was walking down the road with his head down and was almost hit by a speeding car.
Seeing himself inexplicably standing in the middle of the road, listening to the angry abuse of the sedan driver, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
He quickly apologized to the driver of the car, knowing that he had crossed the road and could not blame him, and then cautiously retreated to the side of the road.
"Alas!" Looking up at the fiery sun, Bai Yang's heart was full of desolation, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Finding a shade in a flowerbed by the side of the road, he took out his flat wallet from his trouser pocket, and saw that there were less than five hundred-dollar bills left in the torn wallet, and he almost wanted to cry.
