Chapter 60: It Really Exploded
Bai Cha looked at the box, a look of wanting to cry but having no tears on her face.
She gritted her teeth and finally picked up both the small gift box and the outer cardboard box. She was going to throw this thing away later.
She didn’t know who sent it, but she definitely wouldn’t open it!
Only when she held the cardboard box in her hand did she feel that it was a bit damp.
Like it had been placed in a humid environment.
Bai Cha thought of the raincoat man, and in her heart, she actually really wanted to open this box.
The packaging of the gift box inside wasn’t as exquisite as the one last night, it could even be described as simple.
And it was very light, almost just the weight of the box itself.
Walking downstairs, the outside was covered in a layer of white snow.
Bai Cha went straight to the trash can, opened the lid, and threw it in.
Too bad… she really wanted to see.
Bai Cha put on a relieved expression and subtly watched the comment section.
The comment section was indeed discussing this.
[Damn, only one night, and only four streamers are left alive]
[This livestream is still interesting. But why hasn’t anything happened to this streamer yet?]
[The streamer in livestream room number 2 almost got killed, their arm was broken]
[Ah, why didn’t she open that box!]
[Some streamers opened it, there are clues inside!]
[I’m speechless, is this streamer just lucky? Just because nothing has happened now doesn’t mean nothing will happen later!]
[Streamer, pick it back up, I know you have the comment section on. That’s a clue, we can’t tell you, you have to see it yourself]
[Why are you so worried about her? If she wants to die, why stop her?]
[Actually, I really doubt if she’s even a player. She seems to have never read the comment section from the beginning to the end]
[This is originally a role-playing script, maybe it’s very immersive]
[This is the first time I’ve seen someone in a role-playing script really immerse themselves in the character the whole time]
Bai Cha was wiping her electric scooter at this moment.
A layer of snow had fallen on it, and there was a thin layer of ice underneath.
After wiping it clean, she put on her gloves and hat and then rode her scooter to the company.
By the time she arrived downstairs at the company, it was already eight o’clock.
There were a series of urgent messages from the supervisor on her phone.
[Supervisor 12.3]: Why haven’t you arrived yet?
[Supervisor 12.3]: Haven’t I said that we must arrive at the company on time at 7:30 every day for a meeting?
[Supervisor 12.3]: I thought you were quite reliable and serious. What’s wrong with you today? If you don’t give me an explanation, you’ll lose your chance to be a streamer!
[Supervisor 12.3]: Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you know how hard it was for me to get you a live-selling opportunity? Gu Baixue, if you don’t get here within 10 minutes, you’ll lose this opportunity!
[Supervisor 12.3]: You said you were scammed by a scumbag and had a lot of debt, that’s why I gave you this opportunity!
[Supervisor 12.3]: Ten minutes have passed! Haven’t you arrived yet?
[Supervisor 12.3]: It’s eight o’clock! It’s already time for work, where are you?
While looking at these messages, Bai Cha showed a look of anxiety and irritability.
She casually took a screenshot and sent it to Darling Yuqi.
[gbx]: Damn it, so annoying, I didn’t want this either.
[Darling Yuqi]: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Your supervisor is too much. Didn’t you say that the working hours are actually 8:30? It was already speechless to arrive at 8:00 before, and now you have to go there for a meeting at 7:30 every morning. If it really doesn’t work out, you should change jobs.
Bai Cha was typing in the input box while entering the elevator.
It was rush hour, and the elevator kept stopping. It would probably take three to five minutes to get up.
She originally complained a lot, then chose to delete it all.
[gbx]: Never mind, I can’t resign now anyway. It’s hard to find a job, and I have to pay back the money.
[Darling Yuqi]: Why don’t I lend it to you? You can pay off the money first, and then quit this shitty job. You work overtime so late every day, and you almost had an accident last night.
This Yuqi seemed to be really good to Gu Baixue.
Judging from the literal meaning so far, this was like a very close confidante.
But the problem was, this was an online friend.
Darling Yuqi herself revealed some information, such as the fact that they had never met.
Judging from the name, the other person might be female, but it was hard to say. If it was a pervert, maybe they were deliberately pretending to be female to get close to people.
Bai Cha only sent a wronged emoji and didn’t reply anymore, pulling up the chat history.
She was too rushed to get here last night and didn’t have time to see more information at all.
But now wasn’t the time either. The internet in the elevator was bad and wouldn’t load.
The 19th floor arrived.
Bai Cha arrived at the company.
The company was just this big. As soon as she arrived, the supervisor saw her.
The other person was a woman around thirty-five years old. When she saw Bai Cha, her face immediately darkened.
“Gu Baixue!” she walked over, her voice sharp.
“I sent you messages and you didn’t reply. You… why does your face look so bad!”
She walked over, originally wanting to roar, but her tone suddenly stopped, looking at Bai Cha with some astonishment.
Bai Cha touched her face.
Did her face look that bad?
She had looked in the mirror today, and it was still that sallow and haggard look, plus the red and swollen eyes from not sleeping well and crying all night.
“Are you sick?” the supervisor looked at her suspiciously.
“A bit, sorry, Supervisor, I didn’t mean to be late either. Last night… someone was following me.”
When Bai Cha mentioned this, fear appeared on her face, and being scolded early in the morning made her eyes red with some grievance.
The supervisor’s face immediately changed, and she looked her up and down.
“Then are you alright? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Did you call the police?” the supervisor said, pulling her in without pursuing the matter further.
Judging from this point, this supervisor was actually quite nice.
Bai Cha nodded and said, “I called the police, and they said they would contact me today.”
“That’s good…” The supervisor looked at her, hesitated, and finally didn’t apologize, just pointed to her seat.
“Can you still work? If not, take a day off.”
“No, the company might be safer.”
The supervisor was even more speechless and finally just nodded silently.
“If it really doesn’t work out, move to a different place, find a hotel for now.”
After saying that, she went into her office.
Because of her words, Bai Cha took another look at her back.
[Why do the supervisor’s words sound so similar to what Yuqi said?]
[Does anyone know the supervisor’s name?]
Bai Cha sat down at her desk, and a girl next to her looked over with concern. “Are you alright? You look really pale.”
Bai Cha shook her head and silently turned on her computer.
At this moment, the girl next to her spoke again. “Speaking of which, I only found out this morning that the fireworks factory that produced the fireworks listed in my shop exploded. It’s so unbelievable!”
Bai Cha paused, looking at her with some astonishment. “Exploded?” “Don’t you know? The seller sent me a message. I happened to see that you helped me reply to a customer when you were on duty yesterday, so I thought you knew last night.”
Bai Cha glanced at the chat history on her phone. Hmm… Was it a coincidence? But if it wasn’t a coincidence, the fireworks factory exploding was something she did arbitrarily. It couldn’t be that someone blew up a fireworks factory because of something she said, right?
“Were there any casualties?”
“No, the seller said it’s a common occurrence.”
“That’s good then.”
So… just a coincidence?
