Chapter 681 Xu Xiaoman’s Story (Part 2) (Additional update 22 for Cow Baby’s Caterpillar)

Xu Xiaoman resigned, and she submitted her resignation on her own initiative.

"Lili..."

She hugged her few friends tiredly, and they helped her pull her suitcase into the room.

"You look tired, what's wrong?"

Lili touched Xu Xiaoman's hair distressedly.

"Oh, don't mention it. I work overtime all day long and I don't get overtime pay. My wages haven't been paid for several months. When asked, I just do Tai Chi. Then a few days ago, I suddenly said that I had to transfer money to the bank for something, and I had to pay it to the legal person. The representative confirmed that our manager couldn't get through on the phone, and the other one who could be found couldn't be found. Finally, after much procrastination, he finally got through. He actually went home and turned off his phone to sleep. I vomited! He only replied to a voice message in the morning. , it would be outrageous to go home and sleep directly in the afternoon!”

Xu Xiaoman pursed her lips and poured out her bitterness, "Then the bank finally gave me the password, and I found out that the password given by the bank was wrong. I was really, uh, devastated at the time. After that, I finally confirmed the password. The bank said Bian also said that this is not our company’s password, but the subsidiary’s password, so I have to ask again anyway!”

"Our manager is really disgusting. He never takes the initiative to send messages. You can only contact him. He never contacts you, so we continue to send messages and call to ask questions. It is obviously because they insist on delaying the work... …And the deadline for this transfer was four o’clock, so we didn’t make it at all. In the end, we called and begged them to be accommodating before handing it over. I was so numb.”

Xu Xiaoman felt tired when he spoke, and his tone became heavier.

"Then when we went back, I took a taxi. I told Sister Wang, my roommate and colleague, about the fare. She said you should go to the team leader to reimburse yourself. These are all public accounts. I went back to find the team leader. At one point, he called me out alone and criticized me and gave me chicken soup. I asked him if he could give me my salary first, and then he also started to blame me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I thought about it for several days and ran away."

"Oh my god, this is too tragic."

Lili hugged her again.

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore...Thank you for taking me in..."

Xu Xiaoman sniffed.

"I'm going to work soon. You can rest first. I've sent you the address so you can order takeout directly."

"All right."

Xu Xiaoman nodded and watched his friend go out.

She lay on the sofa for a while, then opened the chat window with her boyfriend and looked through the records. The replies from the other party were always a simple sentence or two, each time apologizing and saying that she was busy.

Xu Xiaoman looked more and more tired.

She sat up silently and ordered takeout. This area is far away from the city center, and drones cannot fly over, so we can only order delivery by real-person riders. Fortunately, the cost is about the same. Xu Xiaoman clicks to confirm, and after nearly an hour of starvation, he finally received the call.

"Why can't you get in touch?"

The other side yelled anxiously as soon as they opened their mouths.

"……ah?"

Xu Xiaoman asked confused and aggrieved, "So you are?"

"takeout!"

The other person said angrily, "Open the door! I've been ringing the doorbell for a long time!"

"Oh, 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 for a long time before she found the small key symbol on the worn-out transponder.

"Huh, that's it..."

She clicked her tongue and muttered, "Why are you so impatient? You can't be more friendly..."

As a result, another ten minutes passed without any news, and Xu Xiaoman received a call again.

"You called the ladder!"

The delivery boy's voice was choppy.

"Ah?" Xu Xiaoman was stunned, "What is 'kicking'? Wait, I'm sorry about your signal... Hello? Hello?"

"what……"

She stood there blankly. She had been hungry for too long, stomach acid was rising, and her menstrual period, which had not yet ended, was aching again.

"Forget it, let's go down and get takeout."

Xu Xiaoman wrapped up her coat and put on her shoes. She looked around and found that Lili didn't leave the key, so she had to use a slipper to close the door, and then hurried to the elevator entrance to wait.

……ah.

She suddenly realized that this was a "called elevator". The elevator in Lili's apartment required an access card to start. The delivery man should be standing in the elevator waiting for her to push the elevator up.

But Xu Xiaoman had never lived in such an apartment and didn't know about this kind of setting, so he didn't react just now.

The elevator went down all the way. She didn't see the delivery man on the first floor, so she had to walk out the door. Through the door, she saw the delivery man ringing the doorbell again. She may have realized that she couldn't hear the sound 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 respond just now..."

"You're really good. I've got a lot of orders coming in, and you've delayed me all. Who are you!"

The delivery boy interrupted Xu Xiaoman's words, complained, stuffed the plastic bag into her hand and turned away.

"I……"

Xu Xiaoman opened her mouth, all her grievances welling up. She lowered her head and carried the takeout box to the elevator. When she stood in the elevator, she realized that she didn't have an access card when she came down this time, so she couldn't use the elevator.

"..."

Xu Xiaoman closed his eyes in discomfort and climbed up to the twelfth floor step by step, carrying a plastic bag.

She couldn't slow down because she was worried that the door held by her slippers might be robbed by thieves, and her heart was beating so hard along the way.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Xu Xiaoman took off his slippers, closed the door, and put the takeaway on the table.

This is a chain fast food restaurant that she likes very much. The chicken drumsticks and rice there are delicious... She originally wanted to rely on delicious food to heal her mood.

After opening the plastic box, Xu Xiaoman realized that after struggling for so long, the rice had become cold. She was also very hungry and too tired to eat anything.

"……well."

She put down the disposable chopsticks, lay on the sofa holding her stomach, and took out her mobile phone.

There was no news from her boyfriend at all. Xu Xiaoman no longer wanted to open the chat window with expectations, but casually entered a recently popular battle game.

She clicked on the 2V2 random match, and when she saw on the loading page that the teammate she matched was a female character with a cute face, she felt a little relaxed.

The female players in the game are more or less friendly, and it doesn't matter even if their strength is not high. Xu Xiaoman's own level is average, so she can just play casually and relax.

The battle started immediately. Xu Xiaoman said "Oops". She was too busy recently and forgot that the game had just been updated. The previously set habit keys had also been reset. She accidentally missed a big move.

"Brother, are you sick? Your ultimate move doesn't have any control skills, so you're going to beat the shit out of me!"

But he didn't expect his teammates to directly turn on the mic and scold him.

The voice was clear and clear, it was indeed a girl, but she also cursed mercilessly.

Xu Xiaoman twitched his lips and rolled his eyes. He originally wanted to apologize, but now he didn't want to speak.

She chose a male character, and she shaped her face to match that of her boyfriend. It was just a personal preference. However, when the other person saw the character, they defaulted to her as a male and continued to verbally abuse her passionately from beginning to end. A series of words such as "rookie", "garbage" and "trash" were poured into his ears. Xu Xiaoman was already in a bad state. The more he talked, the more annoyed he became, so he simply turned the volume to mute.

Sure enough, this round was lost. Xu Xiaoman stared at the settlement page in a daze for a while, thinking that this was all nonsense. As soon as he exited, he saw that the small number next to the prompt bar kept increasing. When he clicked on it, he found that it was the friend of the player just now. When she applied, she was still chasing her and scolding her. She sent many applications in a row. The reasons for applying were "I have never seen a trash like you", "Go to hell, trash" and so on.

Xu Xiaoman's face burned, feeling ashamed and sad. She knew she was good at it, but this was just a game! As for that? There's no need to be so divided!

She quit the game and huddled up.

After a while, Xu Xiaoman looked up from his messy hair, reached into his pocket, and took out his headphones.

Please, I just want to feel better... Listening to a song won't disturb others, right?

She bit her lip hard, but the headphone cord became a mess. She tried hard to untie it, but it took a long time to untie it.

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoman slammed the headphones outside the sofa.

She broke down and cried.
