I am a god in the secret world

Bai Tao finally went to work because she had to pay the rent, and this month she could only use credit cards. She had been using her credit card and Huabei back and forth, and she was almost out of money.

This job also comes with meal allowance, which is very important to her.

She wants to work hard and pay off her debts, and save some more money if possible. She wants a house and doesn't want to go back to that home.

It doesn't have to be very big, a 30-square-meter apartment will be enough, as long as she has a place to stay.

However, she was specifically selected by Xu Minghuang to stay and join the company.

So on my first day at work, some people came over to gossip.

"I heard that our boss personally asked you to join us? Are you a relative of our boss?"

Many eyes were staring at this side, and many people's ears perked up.

Bai Tao hated this kind of scene, but she had long been accustomed to accepting it.

She smiled awkwardly, or maybe she smiled instinctively.

"no……"

"No, that's right. You don't look like one either. The boss seems to be a rich second-generation man. He probably doesn't have relatives like you."

Some people laughed.

More people were looking at Bai Tao sideways to see her reaction.

In this situation, Bai Tao subconsciously forced a smile and made a joke about herself.

"Yeah, how can I have anything to do with the boss? Nothing I wear costs more than 100 yuan."

There was laughter all around.

Then Bai Tao's position in the new company was determined.

She would be ordered around and asked to do difficult jobs and deal with difficult matters. After all, customer service staff would always encounter some difficult customers. These people would transfer such customers to Bai Tao, or simply transfer them to her if they didn't want to do the job anymore.

What should we do if the reception rate drops? Of course, Bai Tao is to blame.

In just one week, Bai Tao fell ill, but she didn't dare to ask for leave.

"Bai Tao, I have a customer who I want to transfer to you. I'm too busy." The person who was in charge of taking care of Bai Tao was called Jin Qiao. She was obviously the one taking care of Bai Tao, but she gave all the work to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao was having a fever and felt uncomfortable. She opened her mouth and whispered, "But I'm sick now. This is your order. You can take it yourself..."

Jin Qiao looked over with a surprised look on her face, and then said sarcastically: "Oh, you're sick? I didn't realize it. Are you pretending to make an excuse? If you were really sick, why didn't you ask for leave? Why are you working so hard?"

Bai Tao was so embarrassed that she couldn't bring herself to transfer the order back.

Jin Qiao immediately started flirting with the people around her.

"Look at what I said. It was just an excuse. You kept silent after I said that."

The people around him laughed too, and passed a few messages to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao was busy all morning. She was supposed to have lunch at noon and rest in the afternoon because that was her schedule for the day.

But as expected, someone gave her his job.

"Bai Tao, please take over my shift. Thank you. I'm so hungry. I want to go eat. Look how thin I've become. But it's for your own good if you skip a meal and lose some weight. That's it. I'll pass the order on to you!"

The man ran away after saying that, without giving Bai Tao any chance to refuse.

Bai Tao picked up the water cup and found that there was no water, so she stood up to get some water, but her eyes went dark, she stumbled and fell straight to the ground. But she did not fall to the ground, and in her daze, she felt someone holding her up.

When she woke up, she was in the hospital.

"Are you awake? Great."

Xu Minghuang looked delighted, then pressed the bell above his head to call the nurse and doctor.

"The patient is fine, she's just tired and needs to rest. She's also severely malnourished. You can tell by looking at her face. Her fever is also quite high, 39 degrees. She didn't know to come earlier."

The doctor shook his head and prescribed them some medicine.

"Okay, thank you, doctor. I'll go get the medicine. You wait here. I'll take you back after this bottle of water is finished."

The latter part was said to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, the other person had already strode out of the ward.

She could only lie on the bed and stare blankly at the ceiling.

headache.

She should have been sent here by Xu Minghuang, and the other party is still guarding here. She should thank him later, and then there is no need to send her back. She can go back by herself.

It's not a big deal. She used to have fever often. When she was in high school, she had a fever once a week. She was used to it.

Her mother also told her that her father was very angry about her frequent fever and taking leave from evening self-study. He felt that if she took leave every day and did not study well, what grades would she get in the future?
Later, she did not do well in the exam.

She still remembers that her mother once told her that since she liked painting, if her grades were not good when she entered high school, she could learn painting and become an art student.

But her grades were so bad later, and her mother didn't say anything about letting her learn painting. When she mentioned it, her mother just kept silent and wiped away her tears.

"Alas, I am a useless mother who cannot provide you with good material conditions. Our family is really unable to afford to teach you to paint. You should study hard, okay? There is no future for painting."

Later, during the winter break of her second year in high school, Bai Tao picked up a paintbrush that she hadn't used for a long time. She suddenly wanted to paint a picture.

Drawing is the only hobby she has insisted on since she was a child, and it is also the only thing she likes. The reason why she likes it so much may be because when she was in elementary school, her paintings were very good and she received praise from her parents. That was the only time in her life that she received their praise.

But everything was different that day. Her mother walked in with a smile and asked her if she wanted to eat something, but when she saw her drawing, her face suddenly changed.

It was just as if when they broke into her room with ferocious faces and asked her if she had any shameful secret, her mother rushed over with the same ferocious look and tore up her paintings.

"Why are you drawing? Why don't you study? I thought you were studying, but you are drawing. Look at what you are drawing. You don't really think you can draw well, do you? What else can you do besides copying? What you draw is so ugly. You really think you can go down this path, right? I don't let you draw because it's for your own good. What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me?"

Then she started crying again.

"I work hard to earn money and live frugally, not wanting to eat anything. I bought you an apple specifically to nourish your body, but what about you? You don't even study. Are you worthy of me and your father?"

Bai Tao didn't know why. She couldn't remember anything and couldn't concentrate when she was studying, but she remembered every word they said so clearly.

She has not painted since then.

"I'm back. I bought you some food. Do you want some porridge? Have some. Have you not eaten yet?"

Xu Minghuang's voice interrupted Bai Tao's memories.

With a gentle smile on his face, he handed the porridge in his hand to Bai Tao.

The sunlight fell on him, as if it had coated him with a layer of golden light.

What he handed over was warmth, and Bai Tao took it with trembling hands.
