Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

Chapter 177 Is Office Romance Permitted? (1)

The time in the world of immortal cultivation was so long that Lian Qingyang and Du Xiaochen spent hundreds of years before leaving that world one after another.

Lian Qingyang, who had just arrived at the New World, hadn't even opened his eyes when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. A boy's voice rang out from behind him: "Qingyang, it's time to get off work, aren't you leaving yet?"

Lian Qingyang calmly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the computer screen in front of him, and said in a serious tone, "I'll stay a little longer. You go first."

Unexpectedly, the person behind him didn't leave as he was told. Instead, he came close to him, leaned over to look at Lian Qingyang's face, and said in an inexplicable tone: "You are not a workaholic, are you? Why are you working so hard today? Are you possessed by the resentment of sudden death?"

Lian Qingyang leaned back as the man's head approached, creating some distance before replying, "I just wanted to wait until no one else was using the restroom. The water supply in the neighborhood has been cut off, so I can't flush the toilet."

The man didn't continue to pursue her. He nodded and withdrew from her body. As he walked away, he said, "Then I'm leaving. You should go back early too."

Lian Qingyang looked around only when he heard no more sound. He should be in a company now. There were desks all around him, and his desk was at the outermost of the row. There were few things on the desk, only a computer, a pot of green plants and a dark blue backpack.

This should be a sign of getting ready to get off work. Lian Qingyang wanted to shut down the computer first, so he raised his hand to close the page window, and then he saw Spider Solitaire on the computer screen!

Normal, normal! A worker’s working life is not complete without slacking off.

After turning off the computer, he stood up with his backpack and followed Xiaojiu's instructions to go into the bathroom, ready to absorb his memories and the plot of this world first, otherwise he would not know where his home was.

Lian Qingyang was born in a well-off family. As he was an only child, his family had always spoiled him, but they paid close attention to his studies. He had a cheerful personality and a bright mind, so his academic performance was always very good. He was admitted to a university in his hometown. Not only did he actively participate in activities, he also looked for part-time jobs during the winter and summer vacations to accumulate social experience. After graduation, he successfully got an internship at a well-known company in the city. His life so far can be said to be very smooth.

He was very nice to people, had no bad intentions, and all the people he met were nice. So he never expected that an intern at the same company would frame him for a permanent position, which ruined his reputation and led to his superiors seizing this false accusation to fire him.

This did not undermine his self-confidence. With his abilities, he had no worries about not finding a job. However, on the day he was about to leave the company, he accidentally discovered that the person who framed him was in collusion with his superior. He did not think too much about it at the time. He immediately rushed in and scolded the two disheveled men. He even took out his mobile phone to try to record the video. As a result, the two angry men pounced on him and beat him up. The person who framed him accidentally used too much force and pushed him, and Lian Qingyang's head hit the corner of the table as fate would have it, and he died with hatred.

That’s not all. After his death, his parents wanted to find the truth from the company, but the superior falsely accused Lian Qingyang of hooking up with him for a job. After being sternly rejected by him, he became angry and wanted to push him, but accidentally fell and hit the corner of the table. He also brought out a so-called witness to prove it, and that witness was an intern who had an unclear relationship with him and was about to be hired as a regular employee.

Of course, his parents didn't believe it, but the company still gave them a large sum of money to settle the matter, and threatened to send a subpoena to the couple if they caused any more trouble! In an age with such advanced internet technology, these stories naturally spread online, and the deceased Lian Qingyang was dragged out and repeatedly criticized by netizens. Some classmates who testified on Lian Qingyang's behalf were also labeled as "trolls" and subjected to harsh insults. For a time, the articles about Lian Qingyang were filled with a turmoil, and the Lian family dared not go online, fearing the heartbreak of seeing such unfounded slander against their son.

Even so, some self-proclaimed righteous netizens found the Lian family's address and would insult and throw things at them whenever they saw anyone leaving the house. They would even film the scene and post it online, letting netizens see this "heart-warming" scene. It seemed as if these people had discovered the password to their data usage, and they even went to the Lian couple's workplace to wait. Unable to bear the harassment, their employer had no choice but to fire the couple. The increasingly desperate couple tearfully recorded a video begging for their son's innocence, and then both committed suicide at home...

After watching the plot about himself, Lian Qingyang sat on the toilet for a long time without coming back to his senses.

Rumors are so terrible that they can destroy an innocent family.

Rumors are scary. Many truths are buried under lies passed down from mouth to mouth. Yet so many people have never lifted the lid on the falsehood and let the truth come to light. This has caused such an innocent person to be unable to clear his name and rest in peace even after his death, when it is clearly someone else who deserves to die.

Lian Qingyang moved his numb feet, stood up, pushed open the door of the toilet cubicle and went out. Just then, the phone in his bag rang. He took out his phone and the screen showed that it was a call from "Mom".

After the call was connected, a gentle and worried voice came from the other end: "Qingqing, why haven't you come back today? Did something happen at the company?"

He had only been in the company for less than a week and went home on time every day, but today he was indeed a little later than usual.

"No." Only after he uttered the word did Lian Qingyang realize his throat was a little hoarse. He coughed softly and whispered as he walked, "I just want to perform well and get a regular job soon. I'm going back now! Don't worry, Mom and Dad. If you're hungry, eat first."

"Okay, then be careful on the road. Your father and I will go for a walk in the square after dinner. I'll keep the food warm in the pot for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lian Qingyang lowered his head and put the phone into his bag. When he looked up, he saw that the door of the office not far from his seat had opened, and a figure appeared in Lian Qingyang's sight. There were actually people who came home even later!

Though small, this company is known for its 9-to-5 work schedule and generous salaries, but also for its high hiring requirements. They hire very few people, especially given the attractive offers. Their department only hires five interns, and after six months of internship, only two out of five are eligible for full-time positions. It's no wonder the man colluded with his superiors to frame him for a chance to become a full-time employee.

That superior was also one of the few corrupt officials in the company. The company explicitly did not allow people to be hired through the backdoor, but he was indeed given a pass to get into the company. His management scope was only to assess the interns in their department for regular employment. As a result, he caused a death shortly after taking office.

Thinking about how the company later fired this person along with the intern, Lian Qingyang still couldn't let go of the resentment he felt towards the company.

He silently took a few steps back, hiding his figure in the darkness, then raised his eyes to look at the figure, thinking that if it was that disgusting superior, he would pretend to be a ghost and scare the person first. However, considering that the superior had been in a hurry to get off work on time these days, it couldn't be that person.

While thinking, Lian Qingyang looked over and saw the figure walking towards him. He was startled and turned to leave, but was stopped by a low voice: "Why are you here instead of going home after get off work?"
