Chapter 221: Butterfly EffectThe Second Day of Change
Shen Yu shrugged nonchalantly, not worried at all about what the chubby guy could do to him.
"The situation’s not too bad, and I have the scapegoat totem. What can the pigs in this building do to me?"
"You, you, that young Hua didn’t even tell me she took a leave. Damn it, damn it!"
Seeing Yunlan speak like that, a trace of malice flashed in the chubby guy’s eyes. He immediately pointed at the documents on Shen Yu’s desk.
"You, you, you. Since you’re here to help her, you finish all these documents today."
"Oh, what about you? What are you going to do?"
Shen Yu jokingly looked at the chubby guy.
On all the desks in the accounting room, except for his own desk piled with documents, the other desks were completely empty.
What does this mean?
Workplace bullying.
They dump everything on the newbie, calling it training you.
"Me? I’m of course the one doing the review. Once you finish, I’ll review your materials. Do you understand? You’re the new guy. You need a lot of practice. I’m looking out for you."
The chubby guy’s chest also had a scapegoat medal, constantly shaking in front of him.
He slapped the table and shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry and finish it! If you don’t finish it tonight, you’ll have to work overtime. Got it?"
Saying this, the chubby guy returned to his desk, opened his computer, and seemed to get busy.
But Shen Yu didn’t pay any attention to him.
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly understood something.
Earlier, he had asked Yang Hua about how she ended up here.
Yang Hua said it was a job her relative had introduced her to, and the so-called relative had gone to a branch company.
There’s something shady going on here.
The cousin in front of him kept giving Yang Hua more and more work, and the piles of materials on her desk didn’t look like something one person could finish, right?
So, this brat must have pushed his own work onto Yang Hua.
Why is he exploiting his relative like this?
There’s only one answer.
Shen Yu looked at the scapegoat medal on his chest, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.
"Looks like you figured something out, huh? As long as you don’t work during office hours, there’s no change. As long as you keep piling pressure on Yang Hua, she’ll speed up her transformation. Sacrificing your cousin to save yourself? How many relatives does your family plan to harm?"
His dark words echoed in the room, and Shen Yu suddenly stood up and walked to the chubby guy’s side.
On his computer screen, there was no work page, only a game interface.
He’s quick with his hands.
With a click, he closed the game and switched to a work document. Then coldly looked at Shen Yu.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Isn’t this how newbies are? Show some respect. I’m your senior. How can I entrust you with important tasks if you don’t get trained?"
"You—"
The chubby guy’s aggressive words were cut off as a black red incense appeared in Shen Yu’s hand, already slowly burning.
Z z z.
Grey smoke filled the room, bringing with it a cold, foul stench.
The chubby guy froze, staring at the skull behind Shen Yu, and immediately shuddered.
"You, you, what do you want to do?"
"You—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Yu grabbed the scapegoat medal on the chubby guy’s chest and yanked it off.
50%.
His contamination value didn’t budge.
Sure enough, put pressure on others, relax yourself, huh?
"Come on, what did your parents tell you?"
Blowing out the Maafa incense, Shen Yu held two scapegoat medals, kicked the trembling chubby guy, sending him rolling across the floor.
"Ugh, ugh. You—you. What the hell?"
Clutching his stomach, the chubby guy tried to go out and shout for help, but a sharp pain struck his forehead, and a pair of black bull horns began to swell, ready to burst out.
He couldn’t help but be shocked, quickly reaching out towards Shen Yu.
"Hurry! Give me back the metal. Quickly, he he!"
"Speak! If you don’t speak now, I won’t hesitate to call someone."
Shaking the medal in his hand, Shen Yu had already turned around and walked to the door with a complete change of expression.
"You, damn, you piece of trash!"
"I’ll speak! I’ll speak! This was all arranged by my parents. Before my father and mother were transferred, they told me that this company isn’t that simple. But as long as I do something against the principles within the company, I can survive."
"Not working during office hours is already against the principles. I’ve tried many times, but once I don’t work, HR forces me to work overtime at night. So, I thought of asking relatives in the same profession in my parents’ name. Let them take over my work, and I can relax and slack off."
"Hmm. So what? You don’t care about your cousin’s life or death?"
"You both work together, and you don’t have to work overtime, right?"
"What does that have to do with me? When she gets laid off and disappears, I’ll just find someone else. This company isn’t it just eating people up?"
The chubby guy said this with ease, and Shen Yu looked at his attitude with disdain and sneered.
"So, do you know? Did your parents really go to the branch office?"
"Damn it! Why do you have to say so much?"
T S K T S K T S K.
"You actually have a bit of brain. Here, take it back. Get back to work honestly. If you don’t want to die."
Clang.
The metal was thrown at the chubby guy.
The metal Shen Yu gave to the chubby guy was not his own, but Yang Hua’s metal that had already mutated by 68%.
Shen Yu, on the other hand, was holding the chubby guy’s 50% mutated metal.
So now, if Shen Yu doesn’t work, the chubby guy won’t work either.
If there’s a problem and overtime is needed, who will be the first to be unlucky?
"Damn, damn, damn! You bastard! Who the hell are you?"
The chubby guy looked at the newly acquired metal, his face turning ashen.
"Remember, I am just a passing succubus. If I don’t see Yang Hua come back tonight, next time I’ll give you a 99% mutated metal. Do you hear me?"
Clang.
A thick stack of files was thrown onto the chubby guy’s desk, and Long crossed his legs and watched as the other guy, looking furious but helpless, accepted the files and began working.
"Damn, damn, damn! Why the hell did we have to do that sales dance this morning? Damn! In just one morning, I wasted my abilities twice. Also, why does the Dijo Pool team know that closing my eyes is no big deal? Was it Batan Lun? Did he get this from Lin Wan?"
At this moment, Mo Xian’s face was dark as he stared at the Yizhou pool team.
A whole morning had passed, and the Yizhou pool team was unharmed, still going strong without Shen Yu leading the way.
On the other hand, someone on his side, Yan Chang, was dead.
He also wasted his time jump ability twice.
How should he play this?
If they still have to work overtime tonight, won’t they explode?
"No. No. I have to find a new client immediately."
He kept dialling the phone, and in the end, fate once again led him to dial Long John’s number.
After a moment of joyous communication with the other party, he reluctantly declined the meeting after Lang Lingxue warned him of ominous signs.
"Captain, what? What should we do now? If we don’t sign a deal today, how are we going to survive tonight?"
Leng Lingxue’s lips trembled as she looked enviously at the Yi Zhou Pool team.
At this moment, she wished she were on the other side’s team.
"What are you in a rush for? I still have one time jump left. As long as Shen Yu and the others make a move, I’ll follow them. With time jump, I’ll steal his client in no time."
Mo Xian’s face was dark as he buried his head and continued dialling the phone.
Meanwhile, over at the Yizhou pool team, no one had found any information about mr. Tree.
Yanhua was on the phone, her gaze shifting towards the Yipux faction office, her eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.
By noon, she could feel the tension.
The eyes behind the frosted glass had at least looked in this direction more than a dozen times.
"Oof! Flirty fox, engaging in workplace harassment. I will definitely tell the board at the next promotion meeting."
Yamhua angrily made a phone call, her eyes completely clear and unclouded.
Ding dong!
Who knows how much time passed?
The elevator doors on the third floor opened, and Zhu Xian came in, holding a thick cardboard box.
"Lunch is here."
Not sure if it was the butterfly effect, but this time, without Zhu Weiman or Shen Yu’s presence, Zhu Xian alone brought a large box of shumai.
The oily shumai filled with meat cubes looked very delicious, and there seemed to be no problem.
But for some reason, Yang Hua glanced at it and suddenly felt terribly disgusted.
Lunch.
As lunch boxes were placed in front of everyone, the fat squad hesitated for a moment before lowering their heads and starting to eat.
The sticky, sour meat cubes chewed in their mouths, and Mo Shen and the others but swelled wildly, with tails popping out from under them.
"Wait."
Yanning noticed Ju Xian’s hungry gaze, hesitating whether to eat when.
Ding dong.
The elevator doors opened again, and Shen Yu entered, holding a large box of red beanbones, glancing at Xi Xian at the door.
"We’re having this for lunch. Is that all right?"
"No problem."
Ju Xian sneered after glancing at the scapegoat medal on Shen Yu’s chest.
"Vice team leader, Shen Yu, damn, vice captain—"
Instantly, the Jochi team gathered around excitedly, dividing the red bean buns.
Yanhua even jogged over to Shen Yu, pointing toward the office direction.
"Shen Yu, I helped you get rid of her, that wicked woman. You must be careful."
"Thanks."
Shen Yu ruffled Yang Hua’s hair, and Yang Hua blushed, laughing foolishly.
"E e e. Oh. Right. Here, take this back. Remember, don’t let your slough back your metal when you go back to work this afternoon. Also, don’t stay overtime. Everyone is equal. Why should he order you around?"
Shen Yu took off the scapegoat medal and put it back on Yang Hua, who just kept laughing foolishly.
"He got it. Ah, forget it. Let’s eat first. We’ll talk about it tonight."
"Okay."
After the group casually finished lunch at their desks, under Shen Yu’s advice, Yang Hua returned to the fourth floor.
In the afternoon, still aimlessly dialling phone numbers, as it was getting close to the evening, the office door of the Fox faction creaked open, and Lin Wan, with an unusual expression, glanced at Shen Yu’s side and said in a low voice,
"Shen Yu, come in. I need to talk to you."
"Okay."
Shen Yu understood immediately, quickly walking toward the office and closing the door behind him.
Creak!
The door was just closed when Lin Wan’s plump legs pressed against the door, one foot on it and the other resting beside it.
She lifted her cheek out, her fingers tracing the corner of her lips, looking at Shen Yu like he was a plaything.
Then, she said again, "The source of all evil, Shen Yu. You don’t want anything to happen to your team tonight? Do you?"
"Ah, Captain Lin, what do you mean?"
Shen Yu pretended not to understand.
"What do you think I mean?"
Lin Wan took two steps forward, wrapped her arms around his chest, and pressed her face right in front of his, blowing warm air on his eyes.
"If you don’t want anything to happen to your team, now get on the desk and lie down. Oh, by the way, that little girl who came in today, she’s very bold. Let’s do this. As long as you talk to her on the phone while I punish you, I’ll tell you how to avoid danger tonight. How about it?"
Lin Wan’s fingers were already on Shen Yu’s chest, her sharp nails running over his skin, ready to tear open bloodstains at any moment.
And Shen Yu’s scalp tingled as he glanced at Lin Wan’s affection level, 33 points.
Because of the perfect timeline, Lin Wan, who originally unlocked the 50 affection CG, suddenly returned to the starting point.
𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
But Shen Yu already knew the follow-up CG story, so this time he didn’t bother to play along.
His face immediately turned stern.
"Sorry, Captain Lin, I still have a bit of dignity. Selling myself, I can’t do that. I believe my teammates will stand by me through thick and thin. If you force me like this, even if you get me, it’s not truly getting me."
With a loud slap, Shen Yu pushed Lin Wan directly away.
Lin Wan raised an eyebrow, clearly shocked.
She never expected it.
Shen Yu actually rejected her.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Does this pretty boy not even understand these office politics?
