Chapter 163 - Will I Be Fired?

Chapter 163 Will I Be Fired?

Tang Xia was in a daze for a while after hearing July’s words.

She didn’t know why he would ask her such a question. But when she noticed that July seemed to be waiting for her answer, she had to cock her head to one side and think about it carefully.

“What kind of person is Chu Tiankuo?

“A president?” After all, she had met him in the task related to the president, and at that time, he had been her object of conquest.

“But… he seemed to be different from the president in normal tasks.”

But she couldn’t tell what the difference was.

If she were to be asked to make it clear what kind of person he was despite his status, Tang Xia would fail to think of any words to describe him even if she used everything that she had learned in her life.

She had to recall her memories of where she had been in touch with him, hoping to find the answer she wanted.

Then the scenes began flying across her mind and stopped at the scene in the rain, where he held her in his arms.

The temperature was so cold in that rainy weather…

But she felt so warm both when she had experienced the rain that day and when she recalled it.

But then, she felt gloomy without a reason when she remembered everything that happened the day she had met Chu Tiankuo for the last time.

Stuck in her thoughts, Tang Xia started looking miserable, not knowing that every detail of her expression had been noticed by July sitting in front of her.

Tang Xia suddenly came back to her senses as July knocked on the table.

She looked at July regrettably and thought hard about how to answer the question he had asked.

As she was distressed, July suddenly opened his mouth again. “Do you know that the existence of Chu Tiankuo has made lots of fans suspect that there has been a bug in the company’s system?”

As an anchor, Tang Xia surely knew that such a suspicion would be aroused by the fans.

Now being asked by July, she had to nod honestly.

Then July continued, “Many statistics show that the collapse of the virtual world where you have received your tasks was affected by Chu Tiankuo’s mood swing. That was the cause of the accident.”

Tang Xia was shocked. So it had been Chu Tiankuo who had made her tasks terminate without reason.

She remembered that when he talked to her, he was indeed very angry.

But such things that had directly led to the collapse of the virtual world… It wouldn’t be good for a company when such an uncontrollable thing happened.

Tang Xia suddenly became nervous and looked at July cautiously. She waited for his next words while prayed in her mind.

Yet it seemed that neither God nor Buddha heard her prayer because she heard another question from July soon after, which made her even more worried.

“Since you have overcome Chu Tiankuo, he has been showing up in your tasks now and then. I wonder if he will continue to appear in the future.” July narrowed his eyes, looking to be contemplating and deciding something.

Tang Xia was startled and thought it was terrible.

If July affirmed that she would be followed by a bug like Chu Tiankuo all the time, she would assume that it was likely that the virtual worlds would collapse anytime she would broadcast in the future.

If so, such an anchor like her would be a problem in the company. Then how could she get on in the company?

Would July fire her right away?

No! She didn’t want to be fired without reason!

She bent her fingers and cast her eyes on July nervously, who had been lost in thought.

As she was thinking if she should plead with July, the latter, who had been thinking, looked bright in his eyes again.

He looked at Tang Xia meaningfully, which made Tang Xia feel more uneasy.

“July, I…”

Before she could finish, July raised his hand and gestured for her to stop.

“Ok. You can go back!” July said lightly. Then he moved his eyes away, and picked up and carefully read the paper on his desk.

“Ah?!” Tang Xia’s mouth was agape in surprise. She couldn’t reply to him.

July had to look at her again when he heard her voice.

He saw Tang Xia looking regretful, but just standing there motionlessly and looking at him with an expectant face, seemingly wanting him to reaffirm his words.

July had to put the paper in his hands back on the desk and explain with a patient look, “Though the bug Chu Tiankuo’s appearance has made additional trouble for the company, we have to admit that the guy has been profitable. Each of his appearances has produced enough stunts for the live bar. Since the company can make more profits due to this, it worth it in spite of some fleabites.”

Tang Xia picked up her ears and listened carefully to every word July had spoken. She let out a sigh of relief when she had made sure that she hadn’t been fired.

That was all right because she could keep on broadcasting and living a happy life.

She thanked July with gratitude at once. “Thank you, July. And thanks to the company.”

July nodded and waved at her. “Well, it’s over. You can leave now!”

“Yes, then I won’t be here to disturb your work.” Tang Xia went out of July’s office with a smile on her face and then helped him close the door warmly and lightly.

She patted herself on the chest as the door was closed. She sighed due to the fact that she got so nervous every time she met the master.

But luckily, nothing bad had happened.

Tang Xia suddenly felt at ease on thinking of this.

She had already been exhausted because she had broadcast for so long.

It was so hard for her to be at ease. She turned to the storage room to fetch her belongings and planned to go home to have a good rest.

But she noticed a familiar figure at once and stopped the moment she arrived at the door of the storage room.

It was Ye Yifan…

Now he was wearing light-blue sportswear, leaning against the wall. He kept his head down and was lost in a trance, seemingly thinking of something.

Though he wasn’t wearing the business suit he always wore when he broadcast, he looked no worse than when he broadcast because the sportswear made him look lethargic and showy.

Tang Xia blushed slightly due to the handsome man in front of her, rejoicing over her good fortune to meet this Prince Charming here.

She was thinking about how to greet this Prince Charming when Ye Yifan seemed to have realized something and cast his eyes toward her suddenly, possibly because of her ardent gaze.

The gazes of the two met without any warning, while Tang Xia blushed shyly.

But she couldn’t look away even when this happened.

After all, Ye Yifan was the Prince Charming in her mind. She had set her mind on working here as an anchor just to have his gaze remain on her.

How could she waste such a chance when she had got what she had been longing for?

Time passed silently as they looked into each other’s eyes…

But for some reason, the expression in Ye Yifan’s changed and he moved toward Tang Xia.

Tang Xia’s heart began beating faster, like a capering monkey’s, as she looked at Ye Yifan, who was getting closer and closer to her.

Her heart beat faster with each step that Ye Yifan took, getting closer to her.

Her heart was beating like a drum until Ye Yifan finally stopped in front of her.

She coughed unnaturally at once for fear that Ye Yifan would hear the embarrassing sound. Then she waved at Ye Yifan and greeted him. “Hi! I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

But standing there and looking at her, Ye Yifan didn’t say anything.

Tang Xia was embarrassed but was more afraid that Ye Yifan might have heard the sound that he hadn’t been expected to hear. She had to force herself to continue, “Ye Yifan, I remember you have watched my live show. What do you think about it? Did I do a good job?”

But, unexpectedly, Ye Yifan’s face became dimmer the instant she had finished.

Tang Xia was puzzled by the sudden change of his face. Just as she was about to ask him, Ye Yifan started speaking with a low, deep voice.

“You did a good job.”

Tang Xia was immediately delighted by his words and was about to thank him.

But in front of her, Ye Yifan had turned away suddenly and walked away from her with a cold face.

Then Tang Xia looked at him moving further and further away until she completely lost sight of him.

She stood still and was a little stunned, not knowing what had happened.

“Why would Ye Yifan act so strangely today? And he seemed to be so cold.”

She decided to catch up with him and ask him but her feet were frozen as she was about to move.

Why should she ask him about this? What did she have to do with Ye Yifan? She had no right to ask about this.

Tang Xia was in a trance when thinking of this and didn’t even notice that Li Xianxian had approached her.

“Tang Xia, you’re such a troublemaker.” Not noticing Tang Xia’s unusual expression, Li Xianxian rushed over and cursed her directly.

Li Xianxian’s loud shouting called Tang Xia back to her senses.

“Li Xianxian, what are you doing here?”

She glanced at Li Xianxian disgustedly. She turned away and walked into the storage room to fetch her belongings because she didn’t really want to talk with her.

Li Xianxian gritted her teeth out of anger when she saw Tang Xia look so indifferent at her. Not willing to give up, she followed behind Tang Xia and cursed her hotly. “How could you say that you’re not a troublemaker? Do you know how many fans I’ve lost because of you?”

Tang Xia rolled her eyes on the spot as she heard Li Xianxian’s words. She turned back and said, “What does it have to do with me if you’ve lost your fans? Shouldn’t you look inside of yourself for the reasons why? You’d better spend your time disciplining yourself instead of arguing with me here.”

She turned away after saying these words, without even looking at Li Xianxian again.

Li Xianxian was so furious because she had planned to teach Tang Xia a lesson instead of being taught by her. So she yelled behind Tang Xia, “Tang Xia, what are you so complacent about? I, Li Xianxian, will wait and see how long your arrogance can last!”
