Chapter 36: Director Wang: I'm Not Angry!

For the family of Xu Yufeng, this evening was very harmonious, no different from any other time.

It was just that there was one more grandson-in-law.

The daughter and son-in-law had things to do, so they temporarily left the child here for the evening, letting the grandmother and grandfather look after him; obviously, the household was even more harmonious.

It was already very late, twelve o'clock; except for night owls, many people had already gone to bed.

But in Xu Yufeng's home, they didn't care about such things.

One grandson and one grandson-in-law, playing for a while, fighting for a while; shouting, laughing, crying, every sound reached the ears...

In fact, this was also a point that Zhou Yi found strange; his high-ranking neighbor was truly too doting on her grandsons, to the point that she didn't care about the time—children need sufficient sleep!

And Xu Yufeng was even more like she had a vendetta, as in the intervals of cleaning, she kept bumping into the tables, chairs, and floor, emitting bursts of noise.

Finally, perhaps the daughter-in-law Liu Jia couldn't watch it anymore, and she spoke in a low voice: "Mom, shouldn't we... let Xuanxuan and the others sleep? After all, you saw that police officer just said today..."

"And that person downstairs..."

Hearing this, Xu Yufeng widened her eyes and said: "What about it? How are we disturbing the peace? It's just that the children are playing a bit loudly; I haven't even said anything yet, and he actually called the police!"

"Making me lose face—it's a good thing I didn't buy a floor-vibrator!"

Liu Jia had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face; she knew this mother-in-law of hers, who was consistently overbearing, and in the end, she still shut her mouth.

As for whether the other party would file a Lawsuit... are you joking? In this day and age, is there still anyone who files a Lawsuit because of this?

In short, just as Zhou Yi thought, in Xu Yufeng's home, except for the daughter-in-law who was slightly worried, the others didn't take this seriously at all.

It could be said that their whole family was already used to Xu Yufeng's overbearing nature, or it could be said that they were simply too lazy to think about how serious this problem might be!

I don't know what time it was, it seemed to be twelve-thirty, or perhaps even later; hearing that there was finally, finally no movement upstairs, Zhou Yi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that after the events of the day, this family would definitely play some tricks, he didn't expect them to play it this big!

He could say very responsibly that just this evening, the noise this family made was much louder than the previous two days.

It was truly a sound that made one feel god-awfully annoyed, especially the sound produced by the friction of moving tables and chairs against the floor; it was like when someone rubbed a piece of chalk on a blackboard when you were a child—that kind of sharp sound made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

Zhou Yi could even imagine that if he had slept as usual tonight, he would definitely have been driven to neurasthenia by this sound.

But fortunately, he had specially prepared coffee during the day, all for the sake of fighting a protracted war at night!

At the very least, up to now, the evidence and such were already very sufficient.

And according to the standards stipulated in the second category, anything over fifty decibels at night is disturbing the peace; after measurement by a professional measuring instrument, the noise from this family at night had long since exceeded fifty decibels.

Done; Zhou Yi laid his head down and slept. Being serious—even with a system cheat, it's not that easy to handle.

When he woke up from this sleep, it was five o'clock the next day.

Don't misunderstand, it was five o'clock in the morning; the alarm clock upstairs rang as usual, and Zhou Yi sat up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, wanting only to curse in his heart!

It took him three minutes to suppress that great flare of anger, then he got up to tidy up.

Today, not only did he have to hand over the evidence and such to Lawyer Fang, but he also had to go to the Labor Arbitration side for the hearing.

Of course, whether it is Labor Arbitration or a Court hearing, in most cases, one does not need to be present in person; having a Lawyer is enough.

But Zhou Yi wanted to go and "chat" with the people from the Company to see what attitude the Company was holding.

After tidying up, he set off, going straight out of the Small Residential District to take a taxi to the Guangming District Labor Arbitration Committee; the hearing was being held here today.

When he arrived at the place, Lawyer Fang was already waiting there.

"You're here. Let's go, let's go in together." Lawyer Fang saw Zhou Yi and greeted him there: "Don't worry about anything; we are sure to win this Arbitration!"

"Wait, what is this? You really bought a measuring instrument and specially recorded evidence? Good for you; after the Arbitration is over, I'll go file a Lawsuit."

The two of them chatted like this all the way into the Arbitration Committee; because they arrived right on time, they didn't wait long before being arranged into a room.

When the two pushed the door open and entered, they saw Director Wang and a young man sitting on one side; Zhou Yi had seen that young man before—he was a legal staff member of the Company.

However, what made him a bit surprised was that for a labor dispute involving a small fry like himself, Director Wang had actually come in person?

But naturally, he didn't say anything; he just followed behind Lawyer Fang, and they each sat down.

Because the people from the Arbitration Committee hadn't come in yet, it wasn't appropriate for both sides to say anything, so they just sat there. At this moment, Director Wang suddenly spoke: "Little Zhou, are you sure you aren't coming back to work?"

"Our Company doesn't have that much overtime now; come back. The Company's cultivation of you is still quite good."

Huh? Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to be dumbfounded. He looked at Lawyer Fang, not understanding why the other party was so single-mindedly trying to persuade him to go back to work.

He knew his own worth well enough; the Company wouldn't stop turning just because he was gone.

So where was the problem...

However, dumbfounded or not, Zhou Yi quickly smiled: "No need, Director Wang. I'm afraid that if I continue to work, I won't be able to help but risk my life with you one day."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang's face turned a bit dark, but he still shut his mouth.

The reason why he wanted Zhou Yi to go back was very simple: a client Zhou Yi had previously liaised with was very satisfied with the design plan he had made, and this time, they had specifically named Zhou Yi to be the liaison.

This didn't mean that Zhou Yi's work ability was that strong, but rather that he just happened to be someone the client could approve of!

In this day and age, the laborers who do design all know that everything is based on the requirements of the Party A, although the vast majority of Party A are idiots who can't give any specific requirements at all...

Things like "colorful red" and other inexplicable things...

But regardless, doing design, in the final analysis, is about getting the client to approve!

Even if what is produced is a pile of shit, if the client thinks this pile of shit looks good and is willing to pay for it, then who can say half a word against it, right!

And so, at this critical juncture, Zhou Yi couldn't be found, and the client wanted to talk to Zhou Yi in person!

Because the other party believed that only Zhou Yi could understand his genius ideas...

In short, Director Wang had been called over by his brother-in-law, the Chairman, and severely lectured, telling him to try his best to find Zhou Yi back... at least wait until this job was finished before firing him!

As a result, Director Wang went to find Zhou Yi's parents and did all sorts of things, but it was all useless.

"Little Zhou, we're all in Jingzhou City; we'll see each other often in the future, and you'll still have to work in this industry, right? Our Company isn't a small company in Jingzhou. Look, come back; aren't we all family, right?"

Director Wang felt he had spoken with great emotion, yet the reply he got was: "Director Wang, are you drunk?"

Director Wang: "..." I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all!
