Chapter 3

By the time Tang Mi returned home, it wasn't 12 o'clock yet. 　

She tossed her bag onto the sofa and flopped alongside it.

She was done for. She had screwed up the interview. When Fu Xin came home later, she might even strangle her to death.

Thinking of the landlord's harsh appearance, she despaired over her life.

"Ai, my impulse really is a devil. " She turned her body around on the sofa, her posture just like a dead fish. Five seconds later, she swiftly sprung up from the sofa and crazily flung her CV at her computer. She mentally calculated the possibility of finding another job before Fu Xin returned from work.

Finished with the first bombardment of her CV, Tang Mi headed towards the kitchen to make herself a bowl of noodles. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have smashed the cake in the director's face; it was such a waste of good food.

She sat cross-legged on the living room floor. As she inhaled the noodles, she continued to skim over recruitment sites. Back when she was a university student, she hadn't expected that she and Fu Xin would fare so miserably.

She had spent practically all of her savings studying in France. When Fu Xin graduated, she had started her own business only to suffer losses. In the end, she had accumulated a large amount of debt. The majority of her monthly wages had been forked over to the creditor.

Tang Mi finished her noodles and checked her cell phone. There hadn't been a SMS notification about the interview.

She sighed and got up to wash her bowl. Afterwards, she anxiously floated back to her room to take a nap. Probably because she was extremely worried, she dreamed that she and Fu Xin had to miserably sleep under a bridge, homeless.

Fu Xin's voice woke her up in the end.

Tang Mi sat up in a daze. She groped around for her phone and glanced at it——still no SMS. Fu Xin stood beside her bed, looking expectantly at her. "Tang Tang, quick! Tell me that you have already risen among the elites of Yu Zhi!"

Tang Mi remained silent for a moment before she made a sorrowful expression. "Xiao Xing Xing, I think Yu Zhi might not suit me. "1

Fu Xin's smile disappeared in a split second. "Why?"

"Because I don't like their Human Resources director. "

Fu Xing looked suspiciously at her. "What happened with the Human Resources director?"

Tang Mi spoke with a voice of grievance. "He arbitrarily asserted that I had plagiarized He Si Qi's cake. "

He Si Qi was a senior in A City Technical College's baking club. Fu Xin very clearly knew about the gratitude and grudges between her and Tang Mi. When she heard that name just now, Fu Xin's expression smoothed over. "He Si Qi? She popped back up? How did the Human Resources director know about that incident?"

Although that plagiarism scandal had set the college abuzz with noise, it was merely a small competition in the end. It would be of no interest to anyone outside of the college. Could it be that Yu Zhi's Human Resources director had thoroughly investigated each and every interview candidate's entire life before the interview?

Tang Mi shook her head and said, "I also don't know, but he flatly said I plagiarized her, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. He wouldn't even listen to my explanations and even questioned my character. "

Fu Xin angrily furrowed her brows. Tang Mi had trusted He Si Qi completely back in college. Otherwise, He Si Qi wouldn't have been able to trick her. This incident always made Fu Xin think that Tang Mi was also in the wrong. The loss had taught her a very good lesson. But to think that that Human Resources director had heard this gossip and casually ridiculed Tang Mi... Who gave him this self-confidence!

She patted Tang Mi's shoulder and comfortingly said, "Don't worry. That person, that director, he should be at the head office? You won't be meeting him at work, so when I find the opportunity to, I'll help you beat him up. "

Tang Mi excitedly gripped Fu Xin's hand in hers. "It really is like that saying, 'heroes usually agree. '2 I had already done so!"

Fu Xin: "..."

She was silent for a good while before she angrily glared at Tang Mi. Her two slender eyebrows trembled. "So you're saying that during your interview, you beat up your interviewer?"　

With a as-harmless-as-domesticated-livestock smile, Tang Mi said, "Yes! Look, we thought of the same thing. "

　　...

Five seconds of silence passed. Fu Xin finally exploded. "Tang Mi! Tonight you are packing a quilt and sleeping under the bridge! This old woman isn't supporting you!"

She said this while smoothly grabbing a long pillow and smacking it into Tang Mi's face. Tang Mi tried her best to dodge, but Fu Xin furiously entered the bathroom and brought out a broom.

Tang Mi raised her hands and rapidly retreated. "Xing Xing, you must remain calm. I'm not worth committing a crime for!"

Fu Xing grinned evilly and stalked closer. "Don't worry; I will do it in absolute secrecy. "

Tang Mi: "..."

The fight between them was like chickens jumping up and bouncing to avoid a chasing dog. At that moment, the cell phone on the table began buzzing, vibrating twice with a notification.

Tang Mi grabbed the phone like it was her life-saver.

「1 new unread SMS」

Tang Mi dodged to the side and opened the SMS to read. Pleased beyond her expectations, she yelled, "STOP!"

Fu Xin set aside the broom in her hands and, gasped for breath. She asked, "If you have any last words, say them now!"
