Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Lawyer’s Letter (Three More) !
Walking into the studio, Fang Cheng routinely watered his Spirit Grass as usual.
Growing Spirit Grass on Spirit Grass Planet was fun, but those spirit plants were essentially cultivated by others, and it wasn’t as joyful as planting one’s own.
Just as he had finished watering the Spirit Grass, Xu Qingling appeared at the doorway, panting and said, “Boss, good morning.”
“Morning, why so exhausted?”
“Woke up late this morning.”
“If you woke up late, then don’t come, get some more rest.”
If any other boss had said that, it would definitely have been sarcastic and would have left the employee feeling anxious and uneasy.
But if Fang Cheng said it, then taking it literally would be just fine.
He genuinely wanted Xu Qingling to sleep a bit more.
Xu Qingling then stared fixedly at Fang Cheng and after taking a few deep breaths, felt the air become so sweet, filling her with resolve and energy.
Last week, due to the Swordsman team’s inappropriate overtime work, Fang Cheng had given the studio a week off, which also granted her, the model employee, an unexpected week-long holiday. Her mood had plummeted.
From today on, I swear off overtime!
I’ll cut the power right after work each day, let’s see who dares to work overtime!
After staring at Fang Cheng for a while longer, Xu Qingling asked, “Boss, you seem to be in a good mood.”
“Do I?” Fang Cheng rubbed his cheeks, an uncommon gesture that made Xu Qingling’s heart bloom with joy; she quickly took a mental screenshot to save and filed it away in her mind. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
“Yes!” Immediately, Xu Qingling said, “Your lips occasionally rise half a millimeter, and your eyes also seem especially kind.”
“Oh, you’re quite observant, huh. Last week was indeed quite nice. By the way, do you have a cat? I just got a batch of cat food.”
“...Meow-”
“Hmm?”
“No, what I mean is, I could get one. Boss, if my cat could do backflips, would you come to see it?”
Looking at Xu Qingling’s face full of anticipation, Fang Cheng thought for a moment.
Cat demons that could do backflips were quite common, and if Xu Qingling’s cat could do backflips, it was likely about to become a spirit.
Although he had not seen any demons since his rebirth, it did not guarantee their nonexistence, and he would indeed like to see it if there were one.
So, he nodded, “Sure, if there really is one, I’11 come to see it.”
Xu Qingling immediately left happily and dialed her butler from her workstation.
“Do you think the boss is someone who fears trouble? Not telling him would make things even worse.”
Huang Ping thought it over and felt Xiao Douzi was right.
He should have thought of this earlier. He had just been too bewildered upon receiving the package, and that had resulted in his losing his composure.
So, Huang Ping nodded and took the letter over to Fang Cheng’s desk.
Handing it over to Fang Cheng, Huang Ping said helplessly, “Boss, I’m being sued.”
“Is it about the assault?” Fang Cheng asked.
Huang Ping gave a bitter laugh, “You knew?”
Since Fang Cheng had never mentioned it after he joined, Huang Ping thought he was unaware.
However, with Mr. Shen as a contact, it was unlikely Fang Cheng wouldn’t have known. He probably just didn’t consider it a big deal.
And indeed, Fang Cheng didn’t consider it a big deal. After all, “When rulers treat their subjects like dirt, the subjects see their rulers as foes,” and Mr. Shen had already gossiped to him about KongKong’s issues.
KongKong had a history of various shady moves: passing the buck, self- righteousness, enforcing overtime work, forcing employees over thirty-five to resign without compensation, and more.
Overall, he’d earned the beating he got.
A thousand years ago, such a person would surely have sparked a rebellion and ended up skinned and stuffed with straw, as a warning to others.
One could only say that a lawful society had saved his life.
But Huang Ping shookhis head, “It’s not about that, Tianyi is suing me for violating the non-compete agreement.”
Seeing Fang Cheng looking a bit puzzled, Huang Ping explained, “Tianyi has a non-compete clause stating that employees can’t work in gaming-related jobs for two years after departing. Ordinarily, no one cares about this, but KongKong dug it up. And, uh, boss, I...”
Huang Ping was just about to suggest resigning so as not to cause trouble for the studio when he saw Xu Qingling stand up briskly.
Handing over her lawyer’s ID to Huang Ping, she took the lawyer’s letter, her beautiful eyes filled with gravity.
After carefully reading the letter, she asked, “Huang Ping, have you received a limitation compensation payment from Tianyi every month since you left?” “What’s that?”
“That means you haven’t. Don’t worry about this then, it’s useless. But I suspect this is just a blinding method, Tianyi is trying to cover up something, and that’s their real intention.”
After a moment of thought, Xu Qingling looked to the three planners and asked, “Any recent news about video games, anything about a game similar to our studio’s going online?”
“Yes!” Monkey immediately nodded, “A medieval-style battle royale game is launching overseas. It has a similar concept to ours, but the details are way off.”
“Check out that company, I feel like that’s the real deal. And boss, for such a matter, it’s not too much to askfor some overtime, is it?” Xu Qingling asked pitifully.
Looking at Xu Qingling, who switched statuses in a heartbeat, Fang Cheng nodded, “Sure, you can make up the time later.”
“...Stingy.”
It seems that if she wanted more time together, rather than hoping Fang Cheng would let her work overtime, it might be quicker for the butler to find a cat that can do backflips.
