Chapter 1 The self-defeating paper knife

Chapter 1 The self-defeating paper knife
Zhonghai City, New Butterfly Software Co., Ltd.

At 10:[-] in the afternoon, there are still [-] minutes left before getting off work, and more than a dozen employees are busy at their respective workstations.

"Phew! Finally done! Put a label..."

Xu Fei let out a sigh of relief, put the printed document into the folder, picked up the paper knife, and prepared to cut a piece of self-adhesive sticker.

In order to save money in procurement, the company provides large and wide stickers, and strictly stipulates the cutting size for labels, and employees need to bring their own paper cutters.

Xu Fei has been working in this company for more than three years, and he is too lazy to complain, but his paper knife is dull or something, and he is not very useful and always cuts crookedly.

Although he carefully folded the sticker in reverse and cut it, the cut was crooked, cutting off a corner of the cut section.

"Ah... the broken knife is crooked again!"

Xu Fei complained in frustration. He knew without looking back that the assistant sitting behind him at the door of the manager's office must have made a note of this for him.

However, just as he was complaining, he suddenly felt that the paper knife in his hand seemed to light up slightly. While he was in doubt, a ding sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding, the paper knife has been criticized 100 times, awakening the trait of self-destruction. 】

[Congratulations on getting the prop: the self-defeating paper knife. 】

[The self-defeating paper cutter: It can cut any target, but the cutting line will be ridiculously deviated.However, in order to be stubborn in the end, it will inevitably cut the cutting object in its entirety. 】

[Evaluation: Even a paper knife is dignified. 】

When Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, a series of information appeared in his mind.

This information was not displayed in words or sounds, but appeared in his mind instantly like his own thoughts.

At the same time, he felt that his left wrist was hot, as if he accidentally touched some hot metal.

He subconsciously flicked his wrist, and before he had time to think deeply, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

Subconsciously, he glanced up and saw that at some point, everyone in the office had stopped moving and turned to stare at him, expressionless.

The girl sitting at the workstation at the door is a new intern. Her head with a high ponytail has been twisted almost 180 degrees. The veins in her originally beautiful neck are now exposed, her eyes are almost protruding from the eye sockets, and her smiling face is now distorted. .

"What... what's wrong?"

Xu Fei murmured subconsciously and took half a step back unconsciously.

His words did not receive any response, but they seemed to stimulate them. With a swoosh, all the employees suddenly stood up from their respective workstations. For a while, the sound of tables and chairs being dragged together became more and more harsh.

When they stood up, their eyes were fixed on Xu Fei, keeping the direction of their heads unchanged, slowly turning around to face Xu Fei, slightly moving forward and preparing to take a step!

"Gudong..."

Xu Fei swallowed and subconsciously clenched the paper knife in his hand.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from behind, and then the boss's voice sounded: "Xu Fei, come in!"

"Ah, okay."

Xu Fei agreed, and when he looked again, all the employees had turned their heads, sat back in their seats, and began to get busy, as if everything just now was an illusion. "What are you thinking about? Come here quickly, the boss is waiting for you."

Assistant Sister Zhu's voice sounded lukewarm, causing Xu Fei to return to the familiar working environment in an instant.

He didn't have time to think about what happened just now. He smiled and nodded at Sister Zhu out of habit, then knocked on the door and entered the manager's office.

The boss Zhang Zihao is a bald man in his 40s. Although he is bald, he has a very well-managed figure and has the temperament of a successful person. To be precise, he is a bald and strong man. With his wife dying early, he can be considered a lot of women. In the eyes of the diamond king, except for the fact that he is bald, he has some disadvantages.

"sit!"

Zhang Zihao sat behind the large boss's desk and nodded the chair in front of the desk with one hand.

"thank you boss."

Xu Fei sat down as he was told and glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows without leaving any trace.

This was not the first time he came to his boss's office. He knew that the floor-to-ceiling window was a one-way glass, and he could see the computer screens of almost all employees from the office, and it was clear who was working on what.

At this time, all the employees were normal. The new girl secretly looked up at the electronic clock on the wall, obviously calculating the time to get off work.

Everything is normal, so what just happened was an illusion?

Xu Fei relaxed slightly, calmed down his emotions and sat upright on the chair.

Zhang Zihao didn't pay attention to Xu Fei, but stared at the large monitor in front of him, operating the mouse with one hand. Judging from the sound coming from the computer speakers, he was playing mahjong on the computer.

"Xu Fei, you have been working in our company for more than three years. How do you feel about it?"

The boss asked casually, but Xu Fei didn't know his purpose and carefully chose his words: "It's very good. The company atmosphere is very good, the team is very dynamic, and there is enough room for growth..."

Zhang Zihao waved his hand and interrupted him, "These are all bullshit. You just want to say that the company changes people too quickly and there are too many things."

"Haha..." Xu Fei smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The sound effect of failure came from the computer. Zhang Zihao threw away the mouse, lit a cigarette, brought it to his mouth and took a deep puff, revealing the black tattoo on his wrist.

Xu Fei glanced subconsciously and then withdrew his gaze.

Zhang Zihao leaned on the back of the sofa and slowly blew out the smoke: "Oh, there's nothing we can do. People are getting more and more impetuous, and children nowadays don't listen to control. There are not many people as reliable as you."

In the smoke, he looked at Xu Fei, as if observing his expression, "You are an old man in the company. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If you can solve it, I will help you solve it."

Xu Fei was a little surprised, how could this topic come up here?
He quickly recalled his recent situation, and then reflected on the content of the chat with his colleagues. He made sure that he did not mention any difficulties he had, and then he wondered: "Why did the boss mention this? I don't have any difficulties..."

"Your father owns a restaurant, right? Youpeng Snacks has been open for more than ten years. Recently, it has encountered troubles. A group of gangsters from out of town come to cause trouble every now and then..."

Zhang Zihao's voice was calm, as if he was talking about common trivial matters, but Xu Fei was extremely nervous and almost jumped up and ran away immediately, unable to hear what was said behind him!
He has a huge secret, which he has never told anyone, that is, he is not a native of this world, but has traveled from another world!
After the graduation ceremony, he traveled to this world. He didn't have any relatives or friends in this world!

Fortunately, the diploma he carried with him at that time was also valid in this world, and the school was also a first-class institution, so he successfully got the job.

However, "Friends' Snacks" is a restaurant opened by his father in the world before he crossed over, and the trouble caused by the gangsters was exactly what happened just before he crossed over!
