Deadly Twelve Days

After tormenting myself for an entire night, I came to the company with two dark circles under my eyes. The company I worked for was similar to a small workshop, and there were only six people in total, including the boss and manager. Now that Zhang Qiang was sick, I took such a long time off from work.

The newcomer looked to be in his early twenties, a fair-complexioned, refined young man who had looked up at me for a long time when I showed up at the company, a puzzled expression on his face.

I immediately smiled in my heart. It seems that the company hasn't been too busy these few days. Otherwise, how could this fellow be so free to keep staring at me?

"Brother Fan, you've come." Just as I took a few steps, a pretty girl stood up and said to me in a low voice, "Brother Fan, please accept my condolences."

I nodded slightly and went into the boss's office to report in.

This girl's name is Hu Shuang, and she's one of the few senior employees in the company. She's mainly responsible for the job of a beauty worker, and apart from Zhang Qiang, she's the one who's the one with the most problems with me.

However, I kept a distance from this little girl. It wasn't because there was anything wrong with her character, but because I heard that her family had a lot of power and that she was rich. Coming to work here was just to do things, so I didn't care about the small amount of money here.

Most importantly, I heard that his father is a gangster and has quite a bit of influence in this area.

As for me, a poor kid from a remote village, how could I dare to climb higher? As long as I do well, I will make a mistake and not anger his old man. When that happens, I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear the consequences.

My boss's surname is Niu and he was named Niu Zhuang. Like his name, he was a powerful and rampaging character with a fiery temper. Zhang Qiang and I both secretly called him Niu Niu.

Other than the fact that this Boss Ox had a boisterous temper in the company, he was actually quite low-key in the outside world. Even if he were to walk on the streets, he wouldn't stand out at all.

Pushing open the door of Mighty's office, I saw him talking on the phone with his legs crossed. He was talking to a girl on the left and a girl on the right, which made my teeth ache.

It wasn't convenient for me to look at it, so I tried to pull back, but he happened to glance at me.

He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Mu Fan, come here."

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and retreat. I clearly saw that he hung up the phone with a smile on his face and casually placed it to the side.

"Have you finished with your family matters?" I couldn't help but shiver. I knew this person very well, when he was talking to someone, the more calm he was at the start, the more conspiracies there would be later on. I had been tricked quite a few times before, and if it wasn't for my low education, I would have already left.

I smiled in embarrassment and replied back, "It's done. Thank you for your concern, Boss."

Niu Zhuang nodded his head, and said with a smile, "That's good. Since your family's matters have been settled, you can go back to work in peace."

When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat. Why did this cow's face change? Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be prepared to make a move.

Only, even so, I didn't dare let my guard down and stood in front of his boss's desk, pretending to be moved.

"Oh right, you've taken a total of five days off this time. This is the salary." The truth was as expected. Niu Zhuang turned to look at me with disdain as he lightly shook his leg that was resting on the boss' table.

Actually, I had already thought about this a long time ago. Thus, I quickly followed up with his words, "Boss, I definitely don't have any complaints about this."

"Yes." Niu Zhuang responded softly after he heard this. He raised his head and looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile, "My salary will definitely be deducted. There are only a few people in the company. If there's nothing to do, then wouldn't it be a mess?"

"That's right, the boss is right." On the surface, I agreed, but in my heart, I had already paid my respects to his eighteen generations of ancestors, thinking that if everyone only had one father, then who the hell would think of using this as an excuse to ask for a leave of absence?

"Because when you suddenly left, that outsourcing project failed and I still paid a high price to hire someone to settle it in the end. However, I suffered quite a lot and this has a negative impact on the company's credibility." As Niu Zhuang's voice faded, my heart thumped as I thought, 'This is bad. It seems like he isn't going to fire me.' In this vast city, I'll probably find a new job somewhere in a short time.

Even though my heart was pounding, I forced myself not to make a sound. My mind was in chaos as I tried to think of a way to earn a new livelihood.

As expected, Niu Zhuang continued, "This matter has a huge impact on the company. Although you are an old employee of the company, if you don't say hello and ignore the company's rules, I think we should part ways!"

After saying this, my heart sank. Although I have been out for such a long time, my savings are very limited, so I can only live for two months at most. This Mighty suddenly fired me.

At that moment, however, my eyes lit up, thinking that I still had five thousand dollars to pay him, so I nodded slightly and forced myself to be calm. "I'm very sorry if I've caused any damage to the staff, but the salary I'm taking, please give it to me."

"Salary?" At this point, Mighty's face turned cold and he sat up with a swoosh. He looked at me with a dark face and said, "That's all. Your small amount of money is not even enough for the company. I didn't ask you for it. That can be considered pretty good."

After hearing that, my mind immediately cleared up. I finally understood why there was a new face outside.

I can be considered a veteran in the company. At the beginning, Niu Zhuang, in order to keep us, would give us a little raise every once in a while. After such a long time, our salary level was already way higher than that of the new employees.

However, because the company's business was limited, the jobs they took on were also routine jobs that didn't have much skill content. Usually, some of the more basic graduate students were able to do them.

And my father's death was just to satisfy Mighty's desire to fire me.

Everything was just an excuse.

My heart was set ablaze. My expression turned cold as I stared at Mighty's "What can you do to me" face. I asked him coldly, "What if I insist?"

Upon hearing my words, Mighty snorted coldly and said, "I advise you to go through the formalities with Little Liu immediately. Otherwise, you'll lose more than just a small sum of money."

When I heard this, I was so angry that I started laughing. I glanced outside through the blinds and thought that even though I was poor, it was not to the point that I did not even dare to take the money. I chuckled and said, "Give me the money and I'll leave immediately."

"Mu Fan!" Hearing this, Niu Zhuang's face immediately became distorted in anger. He fiercely slapped the table and shouted, "You're so shameless! Scram! Hurry up and scram! Otherwise, if you don't have the resources to be rude to me, then you'll just come from a poor valley."

Even though I was usually a bit easy-going, I didn't mean that a soft persimmon could be easily pinched. Even so, I had already fallen out with him. There was no need for me to be polite with him.

Thinking about this, I picked up the ashtray beside me and said, "I'm right here. Try killing me."

The soundproofing effect in his office was pretty good. The commotion in there didn't alarm anyone outside, and I think that's probably why he was so confident. Otherwise, if the news of him taking away my unscrupulous money got out, no one else in the company would be able to keep track of him.

"You. "Kid, are you looking to die?" Niu Zhuang picked up his cell phone and was about to make a call.

As for me, I was even more straightforward. I directly pulled the door handle of his office and coldly snorted, "You can try. Let my colleagues see what kind of person their boss is."

As soon as I said those words, Mighty's face immediately paled. He gritted his teeth and looked at me. "Brat, are you trying to court death?"

"I only want my money." I coldly snorted. I leaned against the door, showing no signs of giving in.

"You're full of energy, right? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" When Niu Zhuang saw me like this, he actually started to pull out the number, as if he was a dead pig that wasn't afraid of being boiled.
