My Terrible Life in Those Years

After hanging up the phone, I stood there stunned for a long time, unable to come up with a solution.

So, I gave up thinking.

Time for bed, back to the office tomorrow!

As I lay down, I could still faintly hear noises from the next room; Du Yan was still packing her things.

With mixed feelings, I fell asleep!

I woke up on Tuesday, just before seven o'clock.

Being young and in good health is reflected here as well; a few hours of sleep are enough for me to regain my energy.

Another big meeting is starting. What should I wear today? After washing up, this question stumped me.

If it's a meeting like yesterday, then I don't need to dress so formally.

If another denunciation meeting is held, I'll probably have to go back to the construction site to relax after it's over.

Then I'll wear these two older pieces of clothing, and these old sneakers. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they get dirty or torn while I'm working on the construction site.

Hmm, satisfied!

Eat a hearty breakfast, because working on the construction site is physically demanding and quite tiring!

I timed it perfectly, arriving at the company floor five minutes to nine. I didn't go through the main entrance; I went straight to the conference room.

Once inside, I looked around, but didn't even look at who was in the main seat or what the situation was.

I prepared to sit in the main aisle closest to the entrance, so that if I were called up to the stage for criticism later, it would be easy for me to get up there.

But why are all the seats full? Not a single empty one was left for me?

Damn, does it have to be this neat?!

Did you guys plan this beforehand? Did you all collectively want to see me become famous again?

As I was looking around for a seat, I suddenly realized, why is the whole conference room so noisy?

And, coincidentally, they were all looking at me? Staring at me?

That's when I noticed that there seemed to be some unfamiliar faces today, and everyone was holding a video camera, a camera, and that kind of flashing thing that I saw in Miss Panpan's hands last time!

Why is the main light so bright? It looks like all eight spotlights are on.

Some of the photos are so bad I can't even see them!

Then, applause rang out in the hall, one after another. It seemed that after one applause started, the applause immediately spread out in lines and waves, until finally, all the applause rang out enthusiastically!

Moreover, it seemed that the applause, along with the gazes of hundreds of people, was directed at me?

Holy crap, what's going on?

I was stunned, I was completely bewildered!

Then, I looked up carefully toward the chairman's seat and saw a long red banner.

The words on it, written in gold, read: "Huacheng Huihuang GG Press Conference!"

My heart is bouncing around on the ground like a ball!

Sometimes it crashes to the ground, sometimes it flies high in the sky!

Oh no, I'm going to become famous throughout the whole city now, this time as a temporary worker!

It's just taking the blame, does it really need such a huge fuss?

They've even arranged a press conference!

Deep down, I was still taken aback by the company's swift response.

I quickly made a judgment about today's topic: the company is sacrificing a pawn to save the king for the sake of the bigger picture!

No wonder there were so many cameras and microphones, not a single empty seat, and many of our own employees had to stand. It turns out that we were making room for the media attending today's press conference!

I quickly scanned the list and found a series of TV stations I had never seen or heard of before, including Huacheng TV, Economic Channel, Social Channel, News Channel, Daily News, Metropolitan Daily, and Daily News.

Even several radio stations came!

What a grand display!

The question is, what exactly does this applause mean?

Just as I was at a loss and about to find a corner to stand in, Xiao Zhou Tong rushed towards me with a beaming smile.

When she saw me dressed like this, her face fell, and she pointed at me directly: "Jiang Ning, how could you dress like this today? Go sit in the front, your seat is in the first row!"

I don't look well. I've had such bad luck, and you're still laughing at me?

What's wrong with dressing like this? Don't you know I'm poor? Don't you know I have to go to the construction site to help out later?

They even put me in the front row? Is this so I can get criticized on stage? Or so they can take pictures?

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably want to back out immediately, right?

who am I?

Am I an ordinary person?

Obviously not!

I'm the kind of person who dares to sleep on Aunt Shu's pillow, I'm the kind of person who dares to directly confront Chengzi, the village bully, and I'm the kind of person who dares to dig into Zhong Yang's past...

Now that I've been assigned a seat, I'll go sit down!

Only then did I see clearly that there were several people sitting in the chairman's seat in front.

We all know each other!

The person sitting in the middle today is Aunt Shu.

Her makeup today was clearly carefully done.

The white business suit made her skin appear even whiter, and a light black scarf was wrapped around her neck, with her hair styled in an updo.

The table obscured her lower body, so it was impossible to tell what she was wearing underneath, but it certainly wasn't worse than what she was wearing on top.

I feel that, apart from those two times in front of me, she's the kind of capable career woman who will never seem to break down.

Her eyes widened when she saw my clothes.

He seemed to want to curse, then laugh, but in the end, he managed to hold it in.

Beside her was CEO Liu. His face remained calm today, but I could sense the ease in his eyes as he looked at me.

Of course it's easy. They've found someone to take the blame, so how could it not be easy?

On the other side of Aunt Shu, there was another person sitting, another acquaintance!

She was looking at my outfit with a half-smile, and then glanced at the spot where my balls hurt!

When I saw her, I almost yelled at her!

What's this young lady doing at our company?

This girl is none other than Miss Panpan, who gave me a real headache the day before yesterday at the hospital and yesterday at the construction site!

Around her neck hung a name tag with four large characters: Huacheng Daily!

I opened my mouth to speak, but flashes of inspiration struck me!

Instantly, I thought of the Panpan column in the Huacheng Daily!

It was her!

So, she was that bastard!

My face turned blue, red, and black. It was this woman in front of me who made such a huge fuss about me!

If it weren't for this occasion, I would have rushed up to her and given her an over-the-shoulder throw!

A surge of hatred welled up inside him. If he had known it was her earlier, why would he have saved her yesterday? He could have just pounced on her and taken advantage of her!

At this moment, Panpan blinked at me and mouthed: Does it still hurt?

I was furious and immediately responded with my eyes: Screw you!

Aunt Shu seemed to have gleaned something from our eye contact. She glanced at us meaningfully before looking away.

Just then, the large clock struck nine o'clock!

Aunt Shu adjusted the microphone that had been prepared in front of her and tested the volume with her finger.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

"Good morning, fellow journalists! The press conference for Huacheng Huihuang GG Company is now officially open!"
