Chapter 1139 - 1139: How to Get Fired

Sitting face to face at the dining table, Xiao Feng and Qin Mantong.

"Looks like Bai Tieniu has a thing for you?" Xiao Feng joked half-heartedly.

Qin Mantong's eyes shifted, and she tentatively asked, "Are you...jealous?"

Xiao Feng calmly picked up a piece of vinegar potato with his chopsticks, savoring it, "A bit sour."

"..." Qin Mantong.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Feng changed the subject, "Aren't you afraid that by rejecting Bai Tieniu so directly, it might affect your job?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. His father, Bai Huanyu, asked me to get close to you, so what I did is fair and reasonable." Qin Mantong replied, conveniently shifting the topic to Ye Kuto.

"Do you think that Ye Kuto, who caused trouble in the shop today, was instigated by someone?"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Hard to say, it does seem like he was instigated, but on deeper thought, there are many inconsistencies."

After speaking, he took out his phone and called Di Junxiong, informing him to come over.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qin Mantong's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Ten minutes later, Di Junxiong arrived in the private room, having changed into his usual clothes.

Xiao Feng didn't wait for him to say "shimu" before asking, "What did you find out about Ye Kuto?"

Mentioning Ye Kuto got Di Junxiong instantly energized, "Master, you wouldn't believe it—investigating him was shocking! Good heavens, how can such an extraordinary person exist in this world!

When I tell you, you and shimu probably won't believe it."

"..." Xiao Feng.

Trying to prevent him all the time, but in the end, still couldn't stop this guy from blurting out "shimu".

Qin Mantong glanced at Xiao Feng's expression, couldn't help but stifle a laugh, then returned to normal and asked, "What makes Ye Kuto an extraordinary person?"

"I was instructed by Master to search for Ye Kuto online. I checked, and found that most of the information about him is just jokes and mockery by netizens, practically nothing credible.

So, I asked the tech department to investigate his real-life situation, and the results were unexpectedly much more exaggerated than those jokes!"

Xiao Feng replied discontentedly, "Can you just directly say what Ye Kuto did?"

Di Junxiong nodded quickly, composed himself, and said, "Ye Kuto is twenty-eight years old, has a college degree, and after graduating, he worked as an electrician on a construction site.

Later through family connections, he got a job at a state-owned enterprise, but was fired after just a month."

"Why?" Xiao Feng asked.

Di Junxiong's expression turned complex, "A few years ago when the live streaming industry was on the rise, Ye Kuto persistently wanted to become a streamer, but his family disapproved. So, he deliberately opposed his leaders, finding ways to get himself fired.

The events I summarized are: the leader picked food, he turned the table; the leader raised a glass, he drank first; the leader grabbed the mic, he cut the song; the leader drank water, he braked; during a meeting, he chit-chatted.

The closest he came to being fired was when the leader's father visited the company, and just after the leader called, "Dad," he directly called the leader's dad, "Brother."

Then, Ye Kuto's parents approached the leader, bearing gifts and pleading, saying countless good things to finally keep him around.

But from then on, Ye Kuto escalated his antics.

In the group chat, he asked whether there would be a year-end bonus and if legal holidays should be granted.

After being kicked out of the group, he missed notifications. Even when people relayed information to him, he acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Once, a cooperating company's representative praised his leader for being over fifty and not losing any hair.

Before the leader could respond, Ye Kuto directly told people that the leader actually wore a wig.

Lately, when the leader went to pee, he even locked the door behind him, coincidentally the leader didn't have his phone, and his subordinates almost called the police."

By this point, Xiao Feng and Qin Mantong were already dumbfounded.

This guy, he's practically an anti-leader genius!

Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder if he should abandon the idea of recruiting this talent for himself?

After a long while, Qin Mantong snapped out of her daze and asked, "What was the final reason Ye Kuto got fired?"

"Because, in private, he went around flattering all the wives of his company's leaders."

"..."

Silence once again pervaded the private room.

Xiao Feng coughed lightly twice, breaking the silence, "And then?"

"Afterward, Ye Kuto finally fulfilled his wish of becoming a streamer, but because he played games terribly, he was often scolded by viewers, and sometimes, angry, he'd argue back with the audience.

Over time, he gained certain fame for daring to curse at viewers.

However, Ye Kuto wasn't indiscriminately rude; he was quite cordial to those who sent gifts."

Xiao Feng nodded, as he had seen this personally.

Di Junxiong continued, "What truly made him famous was when people in his livestream room, after getting scolded, felt offended, so they spammed other streamers' rooms.

Messages like 'Kuto legion declares the occupation of the stream room', 'Ye Kuto states, 'Everyone in front of the screen is trash,' attracted other viewers to come to his room to scold him.

Although not a positive reputation, on the platform where he streams, eight out of ten people know who Ye Kuto is."

"So, he should be quite well-off?" Qin Mantong asked casually.

Di Junxiong chuckled wryly, "Shimu, you guessed wrong. High profile typically equates to high earnings, but Ye Kuto is a unique case.

The people who follow him would rather see him starve to death.

Recently there was an event inviting Ye Kuto to participate, but upon hearing the news, his fans went to the venue with placards to protest, causing Ye Kuto to not even get on stage, despite having changed into costumes."

"If he lacks money, that's easy to handle..." Xiao Feng mumbled, standing up, "Let's go!"

Di Junxiong, who had just picked up his chopsticks, froze, "Where are we going, Master?"

"To find Ye Kuto."

Qin Mantong glanced at Di Junxiong and said, "No need to rush, let him have something to eat first before going?"

"Thank you, Shimu!" Di Junxiong happily picked up a dish, then felt a chill run down his spine.

Turning his head, it was indeed Xiao Feng staring at him.

Di Junxiong hurriedly put down his chopsticks, grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth, and told Qin Mantong, "Sorry, Shimu, I'll go with Master first, this meal's on me, please enjoy."

With that said, he quickly followed Xiao Feng out the private room door.

After the master and apprentice left, Qin Mantong propped her chin on her hand and silently pondered: Xiao Feng's apprentice called her shimu, yet he didn't clarify. Is he concerned about her pride, or...

...

In the hospital.

Ye Kuto lay on the hospital bed, rolling around, moaning and wailing, as if he was enduring the torment of illness.

A doctor in a white coat approached and asked, "Can you describe exactly where it hurts?"

"My head, arms, legs, everywhere hurts, there's not a place that doesn't!" Ye Kuto replied, continuing to cry out in pain.

In the ward, the doctor and policeman exchanged glances, both at a loss.

But just then, Di Junxiong and Xiao Feng entered.

"Hurts, does it?" Xiao Feng squinted and smiled, "Let me treat you."
