Chapter 2: Old Wang has gone mad
Wang Bo dared not explain any further; he lowered his head and forced a smile, preparing to meet the volcanic emotions of the angry woman with silence. However, suddenly, a chill ran through him as he remembered the experimental machine he had brought home last night. In his haste to get to work today, he had completely forgotten to bring it with him
The woman with a yellow face shook her head coldly and said: "Forget it, how can one eat during working hours? Besides, I don't like cucumbers."
The surrounding employees no longer mocked him; they could see from Wang Bo's expression that he was neither joking nor pretending to be foolish, nor was he making fun of the yellow-faced woman. Instead, he had truly witnessed something terrifying, for Wang Bo's current expression and gaze were indeed very, very serious
Someone anxiously said: "It is really possible. Haven't there been cases of people dying from overwork recently? Could Old Wang be going crazy from overwork? He might not be able to handle the pressure anymore. He has been working overtime lately, and it seems he was the last one to leave the company last night..."
Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, Wang Bo's eyes widened in shock. He paid no heed to the scolding of the angry woman beside him and pointed at the translucent crystal sand table, exclaiming in horror: "What on earth is this?!"
This sand table is rectangular in shape, featuring hills and rivers, flowers, grass, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish, as well as a miniature castle the size of a sesame seed and books. All are in a crystal-clear, translucent form, vividly lifelike, as if they were real
When Wang Bo saw that the leader had discovered his cucumber, he selected the best one and handed it over, politely saying: "Leader, would you like to have one? I will give you one."
The employees were whispering and discussing among themselves. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, as more people joined the discussion, the sound still reached Wang Bo and the woman with a yellow face.
A basketball-sized green 3D heart-shaped sculpture sprang from his body, and then this heart-shaped sculpture rapidly transformed, changing color from green to white, expanding outward while its surface undulated, ultimately forming a translucent crystal sand table of approximately one square meter.
The woman with a yellow face was about to go mad; she twisted her face and shouted at Wang Bo: "Xiao Wang, you don't want to do this anymore, do you?"
Meimei had a good sleep, and Wang Bo got up with the alarm clock. After washing up, he left for work, starting another day of striving.
Several people around were waiting to clock in, and upon hearing his words, a burst of laughter erupted. The face of the middle-aged woman turned even more sallow as she glared fiercely at Wang Bo and, gritting her teeth, asked: "What do you mean, Xiao Wang?"
As the thought of making the sand table disappear just emerged in his mind, the white crystal sand table once again surged and changed, completely reversing from its previous state. The sand table shrank, its colors transformed, and ultimately became a green heart-shaped crystal image, which then drilled into his chest
Brother Liu raised a vibrant green cucumber and said: "I have not only vegetables here, but also fruits. Look at this cucumber, it is so pleasing with its lush green color. Buy two, as you spend all day in front of the computer, eating more cucumbers to replenish vitamins is beneficial."
What the hell, has Old Wang gone crazy? This bastard is going to be finished, is he mocking the yellow-faced woman for her thick waist? Truly a real man, but the death is indeed tragic!
Wang Bo said with a wry smile: "Bro, I am a programmer, not a chef. Why would I buy vegetables for work?"
Wang Bo knew that there was nothing wrong with his mind, but what was this exquisite green crystal sand table before him? Could it be that he was hallucinating? How did this thing come to be? How could it disappear?
Looking back, it was indeed his leader, the "Yellow-Faced Woman." Originally, her name was Huang Lianxiang, a name that exuded grace and charm. However, due to her irritable temperament during menopause and her poor complexion, her subordinates gave her the nickname "Yellow-Faced Woman."
Wang Bo instinctively said: "I understand, leader, I will definitely eat at the end of my shift, but are you really not going to have any? Cucumbers are good things; if you don't eat them, you can use them for... *illustrations*"
Wang Bo looked at these people in terror, and from the faces of those around him, he saw only expressions of pity and mockery, with no signs of surprise or shock. He quickly rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened them again, the crystal sand table was still in front of him, and of course, his leader was also in front of him, with a twisted expression
Hearing this voice, Wang Bo instinctively shivered; he was too familiar with this sound, as it belonged to his direct superior.
"What do you mean by that?" the angry woman with a yellow face asked, her expression extremely fierce
Wang Bo thought it made sense; winter fruits were expensive, and he was reluctant to buy them, so he decided to buy some cucumbers instead. He picked out four small cucumbers, and after paying, Liu Ge's son looked at him and pretended to be innocent as he said: "Uncle Wang, I have learned a few more lines of ancient poetry, would you like to hear them?"
Wang Bo ignored the woman with a yellow face, still in shock, and pointed at the crystal sand table in front of him, shouting to his colleagues around him: "No, I mean, look at this thing, what is this? Can't you see it? This, this, this, this thing, can't you see this thing in front of me?"
At the entrance of the community, he encountered Brother Liu and his son again. In the morning, Brother Liu had switched from selling roasted sweet potatoes to selling vegetables. Upon seeing Wang Bo, he greeted him warmly: "Little Wang, are you going to work? Aren't you going to buy something? Come over and take a look at hetushu.com, Brother Liu has everything you need here"
Not long after, Brother Liu's loud voice shouted from behind him: "Hey, you little rascal, who taught you that twisted poem? You even dare to mock your own father. Just wait and see if I don't make your backside bloom!"
Someone boldly joked: "Look, isn't that Manager Huang in front of you? Manager Huang is your superior, how can you point at her? How can you refer to her as 'an object' or 'a thing'?"
Wang Bo gently pinched his little face and leaned closer to him, whispering: "First of all, let me correct you, you misread that line of poetry last night. It is a famous line from 'The Collection of Yuefu Poems - Long Song', which should be: 'If the young do not work hard, they will grow up to be laborers.' Now, I have to go to work, and I don't have time to listen to you recite ancient poetry. However, you can recite it to your father; he will definitely praise you for learning a new poem, and who knows, he might even reward you."
This is a disaster, Wang Boda thought anxiously to himself. The angry woman was already upset, and if she found out that he hadn't brought her experimental machine, she would surely be even angrier! And what about that "Heart of the Lord" game? He had no idea if the game was still stuck—just as he was thinking this, an unbelievable scene unfolded before him:
But he really had no intention of dealing with the old hag. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wang Bo's face and body as he looked at his colleagues in disbelief and asked in a panic, "Can't you see it? Impossible, this thing is floating right here, can't you see it?!"
But clearly there is nothing here, so someone exclaimed in panic: "What the hell, Old Wang can't be crazy, can he?"
The employees surrounding them, waiting to see the commotion, looked bewilderedly at the spot pointed out by Wang Bo, and their expressions turned to horror as they realized that Old Wang was pointing directly at the bulging waist of the woman with a yellow face...
Having said this, he casually picked up the cucumber and swiftly made his exit, as if the wind was at his feet
The unruly child responded with an even louder voice, "Aow, aow, aow!"
Carrying cucumbers and rushing to the company on the subway, Wang Bo had just finished clocking in when a woman's voice came from behind him: "Xiao Wang, are these cucumbers your breakfast? The company has a policy that prohibits eating during working hours. Don't you remember this?"
The employees began to chatter noisily, and upon hearing their words, the woman with a yellow face felt a bit flustered. She did not bother to clock in, hurriedly grasped her handbag, and quickly walked into the office, slamming the door shut with a "bang".
Wang Bo was sweating profusely and said with a sense of grievance: "Leader, you have misunderstood me. I meant that cucumber can be sliced and applied to the face to protect the skin, I did not mean it that way..."
