Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 101: Brother-in-law is the Ex 1_1
Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Brother-in-law is the Ex 1_1
Zhang Yu opened her eyes and realized, to her alarm, that she was actually resting on her office desk.
She had never thought that she would find herself in such a situation at work, which was certainly one of the worst scenarios.
Zhang Yu didn’t want to face it, but had no choice and had to quickly accept the news; unfortunately, just as she absorbed some information, she heard activity around her.
The environment, which had been rather quiet, suddenly filled with the sound of chairs dragging, footsteps, and voices talking.
She glanced at her cell phone, well, it was already one in the afternoon, probably time to start work.
As for whether to accept the news or not, Zhang Yu didn’t care anymore; what was important was whether she could get through the afternoon smoothly.
She got up, went to the restroom, then headed to the break room to make a cup of coffee, greeted a few colleagues with practiced ease, and safely returned to her seat.
Zhang Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least the original owner was still in her body, sparing her from facing the worst-case scenario.
The thought of the original owner still being inside the body brought Zhang Yu much comfort, suggesting that the work that afternoon would likely pass safely.
If her job had been in finance, Zhang Yu felt she could have coped, after all, she’d worked in finance for so long in her past life.
But the fact was that she was now a coder, a coder! Aside from typing a bit faster, Zhang Yu was truly clueless about the whole thing.
Especially now, don’t be fooled by her proficient typing of code, heaven knows it was all automatic bodily reactions, while Zhang Yu herself was completely bewildered, feeling that the combinations of English letters were as inscrutable as ancient texts.
Zhang Yu really wanted to cry. Honestly, unless she switched careers, she would have to strive to learn, otherwise how long could she stick with this job?
Although the original owner was helping out now, no one knew when she would leave.
Zhang Yu knew that her top priority was to master the original owner’s expertise, so she could fulfill the task.
After all, the last task was a perfect ten, the original owner said she was very satisfied; she just wanted a happy old age, and Zhang Yu not only achieved the goal but also blessed her with a filial daughter and devoted descendants.
With a good start, Zhang Yu naturally hoped that the upcoming tasks would all end just as well.
Thus, having endured until the end of the workday, Zhang Yu said goodbye to a few colleagues and then slowly walked to the ride-hailing spot, waiting for the arrival of her Didi ride.
Once in the waiting car, Zhang Yu gave an address and then closed her eyes to rest.
In such an environment, she was not suited to accept any information; she was simply tired.
Although the original owner did all the work, they shared one brain. After a long time staring at the computer screen and typing at high speed, even her wrists were beginning to feel the strain.
Not to mention that, amidst the demanding coder’s work, she had also attended two meetings.
Even though each meeting was brief, ending within thirty minutes, the problem was that they were all brainstorming sessions.
She had to listen intensely to colleagues speaking while also coming up with her own ideas.
Zhang Yu had always known that coders earned a lot, but after half a day’s experience, she could only say that a high salary was hard-earned.
Should she change jobs? This was the first idea that came to Zhang Yu’s mind, but then she thought again, what else could she do if not coding?
After all, she studied computer science in college and entered the IT industry after graduating; this was her second job.
It wasn’t that her previous job was bad or that the company had let go of the original owner, but the original owner wanted to be with her boyfriend, and since he didn’t want to change jobs, she had to do it.
It can be said that in this relationship, the original owner was always the one who gave way.
Zhang Yu remembered her last job and could only say that if she had come here earlier, she definitely would not have changed jobs.
Anyway, her current boyfriend was not her true soulmate, and he never truly appreciated the sacrifices the original owner made for him.
He simply thought she was an obedient girlfriend, easy to control, especially since she paid for most of their expenses. His reasoning was that he needed to save his money for buying a house in the future.
The original owner was deeply touched that her boyfriend was preparing for their future because his family’s financial situation was poor, and his parents were not in good health.
The city they lived in was not a first-tier city, but it was an emerging first-tier city, and the housing prices were very high.
The original owner did not want her boyfriend to endure too much pressure, but she was also worried that suggesting they save money together for a house would hurt his pride. So she took on the majority of their expenses and still tried to save money.
Between covering expenses and saving money, how much could the original owner spend on herself?
As an IT woman, she faced the computer all day long, under a lot of stress, and with frequent all-nighters, if she did not take care of herself, she would look listless.
Zhang Yu stared at the mirror in the restroom. "I really do look worn out."
After she had gotten home earlier, she had sat on the sofa and absorbed the original owner’s experiences. She had already felt that the original owner’s boyfriend was really not worth much.
But she did not expect him to be so shameless, and of course, the original owner was quite naive as well. freёnovelkiss.com
She should have completely stayed away from them when her boyfriend and her older sister hooked up and her parents pressured her to let her sister have him.
Instead, she still held out hope and did various favors for them, longing for her parents to treat her better.
It was safe to say that most of the money the original owner earned went to them, but when she got older and was diagnosed with a terminal illness, they kicked her out.
To hide their cold-heartedness, they claimed they were not driving her away because of her illness but believed she was fooling around with her brother-in-law.
Once this spread, the original owner’s reputation was ruined, she became infamous online, and eventually, under the torment of her illness and the finger-pointing of others, she could no longer bear it and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Zhang Yu had thought that the last person who posted the mission was quite tragic, but she had not expected this mission’s owner to be even more so.
Zhang Yu, oh, that’s not right, she was no longer Zhang Yu at this moment. The original owner of this mission was Huang Jing, who made a request not to end up with a scumbag, not to have her reputation tarnished.
If possible, she wanted the Huang family to face retribution and to taste the bitterness of downfall and disgrace.
Wow, reflecting on the original owner’s request, Huang Jing couldn’t help but feel that the original owner’s end must have been even grimmer than what was documented.
Otherwise, a child who always hoped for a bit of attention and love from her parents wouldn’t make such a request.
People, it seems, only make such requests after being thoroughly disappointed.
Although many might see this request as rather spiteful, she just wanted to say it was not malicious at all.
The original owner was a bit overboard, knowing that her boyfriend had become her brother-in-law, she should not have continued to get involved.
But when they made all sorts of excuses to take money from the original owner, why did they not express dissatisfaction and righteously demand that she leave?
At the end, when they no longer wanted to spend money on her treatment, they shouldn’t have slandered her. Since they started the conflict, the original owner retaliating was completely justifiable.
