Chapter 41: It’s All Qi Xuan’s Fault!
He adjusted his tie, sprayed on hair gel, and put on five-centimeter-high leather shoes; Dong Zitao was very satisfied with his image in the mirror.
Leaving the rented house and walking on the street, the monotonous streetlights seemed to shine with intoxicating light.
When a person’s mood is good, the whole world will really be covered with a filter.
Thinking of meeting his online girlfriend next, his steps were a little light.
In recent years, it was extremely rare for his mood to be this good.
Since that incident happened, his life seemed to have entered a downward spiral.
Transferring to Second High School, he originally intended to strive for success, but after studying hard, his college entrance examination results were not ideal. In contrast, the people in his original class, 985s were 985s, 211s were 211s, and the worst were also on the first-tier line. Each of them had a very bright future, but he only passed a regular second-tier university.
Damn Qi Xuan!
If that guy hadn’t taken the lead in attacking his father’s stall and made things big, how could he have dropped out of First High School?
Those shining lights should have been his!
After going to university, because of his short stature, he wasn’t very popular. Originally, if he couldn’t do modeling, he could use money to pave the way. However, the accident in high school made his family lose a lot of money. His reputation was ruined, and the fruit stall couldn’t be opened either, which directly led to his very tight finances in university. Not to mention dating a girlfriend, even having meals with his roommates was stingy.
Damn Qi Xuan!
If it weren’t for that guy, would he have been single for four years? He didn’t even taste the beautiful university life at all.
Entering society, his education wasn’t enough, and his appearance wasn’t enough either. Job hunting was very difficult. He finally found a job at a hotel, but was fired for selling hotel items privately.
Damn Qi Xuan!
If he wasn’t short of money, would he have sold those things to subsidize his family?
Later, he was slapped for peeking at a beautiful woman, accidentally fell into a ditch while walking, and vomited all over himself after drinking… This series of unlucky things undoubtedly had to be blamed on Qi Xuan.
Originally, he was just complaining in his mouth, but who knew that at this time, the Sky Screen Live Stream suddenly opened.
The Streamer inside was also Qi Xuan, who made him feel extremely resentful.
He almost split with jealousy on the spot.
Why?
Why could he survive the Plane Crash?
Why could he become the only lucky one to ascend to the Floating Continent?!
Dong Zitao was unwilling, unconvinced, and even more resentful.
But he had no way, so he could only continue to pay attention in secret.
Later, his ex-girlfriend was exposed. Seeing the other person’s appearance, he ground his teeth with jealousy.
Although everyone said that the face was too obviously done, it at least belonged to the level of a little Beautiful Woman. How could that guy eat so well?
Later, it was revealed that the ex-girlfriend was fake. Before he could be happy, Qi Xuan’s university Classmate said that the real ex-girlfriend was of a higher grade and more beautiful, a human being’s ultimate.
How could all the good things happen to that guy?!!
Why was he so bad, and the other person was so good, and he even went to heaven?!!
Under the combination of jealousy and hatred, he happened to hear CCTV coming to interview nearby, so he found a way to find out the number and decided to expose Qi Xuan’s past evil deeds to CCTV.
Anyway, it was true that the other party hit people, and it was also true that he dropped out of First High School. The evidence provided was also very complete. Once CCTV broadcast it, it would definitely cause Qi Xuan to be reviled by thousands of people.
Even if someone announced the truth afterwards, with CCTV’s endorsement and the first-mover advantage, it would be enough to stir up the muddy waters. Maybe he could also take this opportunity to make a name for himself and make a small fortune.
Recalling his thoughts, he came to the restaurant he had booked in advance. His online dating partner hadn’t arrived yet. Dong Zitao simply logged onto an international website and watched netizens from Various countries passionately argue about Qi Xuan’s death, occasionally liking those comments celebrating the death.
“Haha, good riddance.”
“How can a person be lucky for a lifetime?”
“It’s my turn to rise next!”
Dong Zitao was radiant, as if he had taken a tonic, and didn’t notice the doubtful glances cast by the surrounding diners from time to time.
At this time, his online dating girlfriend walked in directly.
Seeing the other person, Dong Zitao’s eyes immediately lit up.
Although there was beauty enhancement in the online video call, the real person also belonged to the upper-middle level, and her height was not low. If they could successfully combine tonight, the next generation would not suffer like him.
Dong Zitao immediately greeted warmly:
“Hanhan, I’m here!”
Hanhan walked up to him. The closer she got, the more hesitant her expression became. Finally, she suddenly asked:
“Dong Zitao, I remember your father used to sell fruit at a stall, right?”
Dong Zitao nodded blankly:
“Yes.”
They had been talking online for almost two years, and they naturally wouldn’t hide much from each other anymore.
But what did she mean by asking this today? Did she also want to sell fruit at a stall?
Before Dong Zitao could figure it out, Hanhan asked again:
“Did you go to First High School before?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know Qi Xuan?”
“…Yes.”
Dong Zitao finally realized something was wrong.
He saw Hanhan’s expression suddenly sink, and the words she spoke were even colder:
“Let’s break up.”
Dong Zitao’s face changed drastically, and he asked urgently:
“Hanhan, what happened?!”
“Nothing happened, it’s just that I’m blind.”
Hanhan turned around and walked out.
Dong Zitao immediately stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
“Let go!”
Dong Zitao didn’t let go.
With a “slap” sound.
Dong Zitao covered his face, and his whole body was stunned.
“Don’t touch me! I find it dirty!”
After saying that, she shook off his hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Dong Zitao stood there, looking blank.
“Sir, please don’t stand here and affect other guests’ dining.”
The polite Manager, however, didn’t say anything human.
Dong Zitao was completely enraged:
“I’ve already made a reservation! You dare to say I’m affecting others’ dining?!”
“So, is there any effect?”
The Manager looked at the surrounding diners, his smile unchanged.
The people around shouted:
“Get out!”
“What the hell, you dare to come out to eat?”
“That girl hit him well! Why didn’t she take the opportunity to slap him a few more times? This is too cheap for him!”
“A person who looks like a human but acts like a dog, I have to go back and wash my eyes for a whole night when I see him!”
…
Dong Zitao was stunned.
What’s going on?
Why is everyone targeting him?
At this time, someone threw a pack of paper towels, which just hit his forehead.
“You motherfucker—”
Before Dong Zitao could find the person, in the next second, paper towels, fish bones, high heels, and even a whole plate of hot dishes were all thrown at him from all directions.
Dong Zitao’s face changed drastically, and he hugged his head and scurried away, escaping from the restaurant in a very sorry state.
Standing on the side of the road, he was brushing off the garbage on his body while angrily shouting:
“Wait for me! I’m going to sue all of you!”
In the next second, a louder shout came from inside:
“Don’t let him run! That guy is the one who distorts the truth, Dong Zitao!”
In an instant, countless passersby looked up at him, and thousands of gazes seemed to pierce him instantly like arrows.
Dong Zitao’s face turned pale, and he finally realized something was wrong.
He ran forward in panic.
With a “snap,” a leg suddenly stretched out from the side of the road, causing him to fall flat on his face, and both of his height-increasing shoes fell off.
He turned back in anger and was about to roar.
When he saw the strong man with muscles all over his body, the roar that had reached his mouth immediately swallowed back.
Then he saw a girl of about ten years old picking up his shoes.
Dong Zitao hadn’t had time to thank her.
The girl waved her hand and threw the shoes into the trash can.
The grandmother next to her immediately scolded:
“Xiaoyue! Why are you so ignorant? How can you throw shoes here?!”
Saying that, she picked up the other height-increasing shoe and threw it far into the river.
“…”
Dong Zitao fully felt the malice of the people around him.
He didn’t care about the shoes either, and he ran forward barefoot with a face full of grief.
Before he had run far, the phone rang.
As soon as he answered, he heard his boss, who had always been known for his tolerance, say in an extremely cold voice:
“Dong Zitao, you’re fired, and the compensation will be paid to you along with last month’s salary.”
This was the new job he had finally found, with good benefits and harmonious relationships with his colleagues. How could he be fired just like that?
Before Dong Zitao could ask, the phone hung up.
When he called back, he was already blacklisted.
He quickly flipped through his social media accounts and found that he had been kicked out of several work groups, and the colleagues he had added before had all deleted him.
In an instant, it was as if he had never been to that company.
While Dong Zitao was still in a daze, the phone suddenly rang again.
After answering, his old father’s roar immediately came from inside:
“Those guys in the nursing home are not human, they’re going to kick me out!!”
“Didn’t you just pay the money?”
“They would rather refund the money and kick me out! You come over and arrange a place for me to stay, and then we’ll settle accounts with them! It’s really infuriating!!”
The phone hung up with a bang.
Arrange a place?
Thinking of just losing his job, Dong Zitao immediately extinguished the idea of opening a room in a hotel.
Anyway, the rented house was big enough to accommodate two people.
As he was thinking, he glanced at the voice message sent by the landlord.
He opened it and heard the landlord say:
“Move out immediately tomorrow, or I’ll evict you! I’m not renting this house anymore!”
Hearing this, Dong Zitao, who had been aggrieved all the way, finally couldn’t hold back and shouted loudly:
“You motherfucker, tell me why you want me to move out?!”
“Why is the whole world targeting me?!”
Facing his roar, the landlord said coldly:
“Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself?”
Below, there was a link.
Dong Zitao clicked on it with a face full of doubt.
He found that it was actually Sun Weike’s interview program.
Didn’t they say it would be released in a few days at least?
He opened the program.
As he watched, Dong Zitao’s face suddenly turned pale.
Finally, his whole body couldn’t help but tremble—
Damn, didn’t they say they would leave after the interview?
What’s going on with Xue Cheng?
What’s going on with the others?
Why did you say you would censor me?
Why are you censoring my hands?
Is this how you censor??!
Dong Zitao was completely broken.
And while Dong Zitao was raging in vain, Qi Xuan, the protagonist of the program, who was on the other side of the sky, ushered in a new opportunity.
