Chapter 50 - April 1st – April Fool’s Day
Li Bei worked on his English homework while Bai Lian Hua rushed to complete his internship report.....Because a stamp of attendance was required, Bai Lian Hua was faced with a dilemma. Once, when he went to apply as an intern, the manager there actually said: “We don’t hire minors.”....Minor your sister! Can’t the manager just take a look at his ID card? It clearly say’s that he is twenty-one!
After much difficulty, the job he found was related to art design and had nothing to do with his profession......The reason why his application was successful was half because his university is pretty good and half because the company was really poor! They couldn’t hire a high profile employee and could only get him to make up the numbers. The company which only occupied one floor had a total of six employees yet the old man still arrogantly made the employees call him “Director Wang”. Bai Lian Hua internally felt aggrieved. He really wanted to take out his insoles and smack it on his face! If that Director Wang didn’t promise that he would stamp his attendance before he started he would have already up and left!
Although he was the “Art Manager”, it was just a gimmick. The entire art department only had Bai Lian Hua himself....the other five were responsible for one department each. Every time the “managers” met, they couldn’t help but complain about each other.......and then “Director Wang” would finish off with his screams....Hearing Bai Lian Hua’s tragic experience, Li Bei felt very sympathetic.
The reason why I wrote so much bullsh*t about Bai Lian Hua’s company was because....an major event had happened. At least to Bai Lian Hua that was the case.
The Bai Lian Hua who had developed healthily into a 21 year old was actually.....sexually harassed by another man! It was on a hot afternoon and Bai Lian Hua was fanning himself with a small fan that he borrowed from Yun Yu while frowning at the PS software in front of him.....Although he had learnt about using it at university, it wasn’t at the professional level...He simply just knew some functions. So, facing these unfamiliar things, he spent many days trying to adapt.
Finally, Bai Lian Hua managed to complete his first billboard design and he happily logged onto penguin to send the jpg to his boss. About a minute later he received a notification that Director Wang had accepted his file. As the company was just founded, and the first project was successfully completed, Bai Lian Hua had high expectations. However, the praise that Bai Lian Hua expected did not appear.....
Wang Director 16:21:01
Ugly. Redo. Change the color.
White Lotus 16:21:09
...
That’s fine. He will endure. He was the boss so he shouldn’t aggravate him. But what he didn’t expect was that after fixing things up and submitting it, it was again returned to him. The reason was ever more motherf*cking strange compared to the last time: “Like sh*t!”
Bai Lian Hua angrily wanted to smash his keyboard! What is with this absurd company! With six staffs, you should at least have six computers! You mother*cking actually let two share one computer. If it wasn’t for the person he was sharing the computer with letting him use the computer after seeing that it was inconvenient using half the screen to make a billboard, he really didn’t know what year and what month the billboard would be completed!
Bai Lian Hua could no longer restrain his anger. Since young, apart from when he was facing his father, he had not endured anyone! He was a purely spoiled gen X! Immediately, he unceremoniously replied: “Director Wang I advise your sister to bring me a cup! Who do you think you are motherf*cker? Just because you’re looking at ‘Chairman Mao’s Quotations’all the time, did you think that you are a communist soldier? Can’t you speak clearly and directly tell me where exactly I should change? Change colour, change to what colour?! Seeing you makes me feel like I’m looking at shit okay?! F*ck.”
Director Wang’s reply is was also very direct: “Come to my office.”
Bai Lian Hua indignantly packed up his belongings on his desk. He also understood that because of this, all the hard work during the past week would be in vain. What made his gratified was that his stamp of attendance was finally done! Things like the experience report, he will just write whatever! Make things up as he goes and if he can no longer bullsh*t, he can just Baidu the rest.
Bai Lian Hua’s small frame walked into the office. Director Wang was smoking a cigar of an unknown brand as his seaweed hair fluttered in the wind.
“Xiao Bai, it has been a week since you have entered this company.” Director Wang said cheerfully. Bai Lian Hua secretly cursed at the name ‘Xiao Bai’ while his face remained serious. “Yes.”
Director Wang stood up and moved a chair in front of Bai Lian Hua: “Xiao Bai ah~” His tone was very sleazy as he lifted Bai Lian Hua’s hands and held it in his hands. Bai Lian Hua wanted to pull his hand back but Director Wang held onto him even more tightly causing Bai Lian Hua to be unable to keep the smile on his face.
“Summer is hot isn’t it?” Director Wang asked. Bai Lian Hua nodded and forced a smile: “Yes. It can’t be helped because of environmental damage.”
“Right right!” Director Wang’s excited face flushed red and started preaching for a long time. Listening to him, Bai Lian Hua couldn’t help but think: Didn’t you call me to dismiss me? Why are you dragging things? He still wanted to go home and write his report.
Director Wang’s smile became more and more creepy: “That’s right! Since we have already known each other for so long, actually I.......Hey, although I may be a little old, I am actually very gentle!” Bai Lian Hua coldly nodded while he anticipated being able to go home early to finish his homework.
“Xiao Bai!” Director Wang suddenly stood up and made a gesture to seemingly try to hug Bai Lian Hua. Frightened, Bai Lian Hua stood up from his chair and looked at him warily. Director Wang also felt embarrassed and slowly lowered the arms that were hanging mid-air: “Xiao Bai, don’t be so scared!”
It’ll be even stranger if I’m not scared! Bai Lian Hua was 100% certain that if he moved a little slower earlier, then he would end up in the arms of this old man! Bai Lian Hua made a stern expression and said to Director Wang seriously: “Director Wang, can you just give me my resignation letter? It’s okay if you don’t want to give me the salary for the past week. I have already packed my things.”
Director Wang wrinkled his face into a frown that resembled a chrysanthemum and said in a half serious tone: “Aiyou Bai Lian Ha, why are you treating me like a stranger?” Saying this, he stepped closer, “Xiao Bai, your looks are very likable! In fact, it’s no big deal sacrificing yourself a little for your own future right?”
Bai Lian Hua’s answer to this was to directly throw the pen holder on Director Wangs desk at his face. The sound that the collision produced sounded quite painful. Disregarding his belongings, Bai Lian Hua angrily left! After rushing down the street for a while, his anger gradually diminished. Did he really look like he was ready to sell himself? He, Bai Lian Hua, although he didn’t have any amazing achievements like getting into Harvard or getting a Master’s degree, he was still a college student from a university ranked 211 in the world! Although the schools results can only be considered as average, they shouldn’t be treated like this!
Bai Lian Hua felt extremely disgusted at this moment. Once disgusted, he couldn’t help but find himself disgusting. He wanted to drag someone down to be disgusted with him.

Your mom! Today, I was actually assaulted by a man!
Vice Guild Leader · Half Crazy Smile 17:03:27
Touched the chest? Butt? How’s your chrysanthemum?!
Guild Leader White Lotus 17:03:29
What’s chrysanthemum?
Vice Guild Leader · Lonely like Snow 17:03:35
Which company
Guild Leader · White Lotus 17:04:02
Future Advertising Ltd..... The f*cking boss’s face was yellow like faeces! When he smiles, his face is covered in wrinkles!
Vice Guild Leader · Half Crazy Smile 17:04:31
Lotus you’re too savage. Say, I haven’t seen you for the past few days, is it because of work?
Guild Leader · White Lotus 17:04:38
Ah...yeah.
Bai Lian Hua felt inexplicably guilty.
Vice Guild Leader · Half Crazy Smile 17:05:00
Laughing to death. Song brother recently has been looking for you.
Guild Leader · White Lotus 17:05:07
Aha?
Vice Guild Leader · Half Crazy Smile 15:06:19
Cough. Although throughout the process he was silent, but let me expose Song brother’s inner thoughts: What should I do, I can’t find Lotus wuwu! I can’t find Lotus in the whole game! Where did Lotus go wuwu! I really want to see Lotus wuwu! Lotus hurry and appear! Lotus hurry and come back~~
Vice Guild Leader · Lonely like Snow 17:06:37
Do you want to die?
Guild Member · Yun Yu 17:06:49
Interjecting, White Lotus, remember to return the fan. My air conditioner is still not fixed and the heat is killing me....
Looking at the message he just received, the insides of the Bai Lian Hua flipped again....
Guild Leader · White Lotus 17:07:08
...I was too hasty when I left. The fan is still at the company.
Guild Member · Yun Yu 17:07:21
Doesn’t matter. One fan is six dollars. Remember to pay me back. Also for the milk flavoured Durex. Although Song Qingge said that he didn’t need it, I still included it in his package. Since he keeps denying getting it, you should pay it back for me. Total of 66. I’ll give you 30% off discount.
Guild Leader · White Lotus 17:07:39

Vice Guild Leader · Half Crazy Smile 17:07:51
Lotus sister ......you died so tragically T_T. I’m so sad! Come downstairs...
Vice Guild Leader · Lonely like Snow 17:08:04
Yun Yu, seeking PK
Looking at the members happily chatting in the group....Bai Lian Hua endured for a bit and finally sent out a few words that quickly got lost in the conversation: ....What’s Durex?
Hey! Durex is something good! Chocolate-flavored, strawberry-flavored, milk-flavored, mustard flavoured...there were also ones with beads, thick ones, long ones....No! Chen Tian looked up at the computer screen: He shouldn’t send this out. If he sends this out then his image would be ruined.......
Guild Member · Hundred Days Red 17:08:12
Durex is a company that produces things for the good of the public. They are committed to helping with family planning!
Song Qingge spat out of blood...
Yun Yu and Chen Tian both exclaimed inside that Song brother you are not human.......
