Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 198 - 171: But My After-Tax Income Is 12,000
"I actually just wanted to check my career fortune."
She had only ever come across Mu Yunchu’s live streaming room once and wanted to watch more, but due to her job nature, she couldn’t stay long.
However, Wen Yue, who surfs the internet all year round, knew that her fortune-telling was quite accurate.
So, after winning the lucky draw, she couldn’t resist joining despite being on work time.
Meanwhile, she silently reassured herself: It’s okay, it’s just during the day, everyone is resting, so it’ll be fine.
When she said she just wanted to check her career fortune, most people in the comments didn’t believe it.
[You came just to ask this? No way.]
[I bet the fated person is just pretending to be strong!]
[Come on, don’t see us as outsiders, even though there are so many of us.]
Wen Yue: "..."
Why are these netizens so dramatic?
She hadn’t said anything since she came online, yet it seemed like they had already concocted a whole drama in their minds.
Explaining was pointless, and she didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Mu Yunchu had already figured out her issue and began to explain slowly.
"You have a pretty good job, not too tiring. It’s stable, with decent pay and benefits."
She spoke the truth about what she saw, then turned the tone, "But there’s no room for promotion."
"And..." Mu Yunchu seemed to sense something, "Your job is somewhat special."
With just a few simple words, she had fully shifted the netizens’ attention.
[Just hearing these few words from the host, this job sounds good. Although there’s no room for promotion, it’s well-paid and stable, perfect for a lazybones like me with no ambitions.]
[Good? No way! If you stay in such an environment for too long, you lose all motivation to strive for more. You need to climb higher!]
[Uh... but I think a girl doesn’t need to earn a lot. Just find a good person to marry. Even a regular guy like me (with a salary of eight thousand), if I met the fated person, she could dress up for me, and even though I’ve got a house with a five-year mortgage, I could consider it even if she earns less.]
[...]
[Fated person: No need (not interested in you)]
...
While everyone was debating about how much to earn, Wen Yue saw the "bracket man" comment and innocently asked, "Is eight thousand a lot?"
"You still have to subtract the mortgage."
But this sounded like sarcasm to the other party.
[At least more than you!!!]
Wen Yue frowned, looking confused about the situation, then gestured with her hand and confirmed thrice there was no mistake, and then she said:
"But my post-tax is twelve thousand."
[!!!]
[???]
[Wait a minute?]
The netizens then realized that Mu Yunchu had only said she had no promotion prospects, but never mentioned a low salary.
In fact, she consistently said the pay was pretty good.
The netizens’ attitudes flipped.
[...Turns out the clown is myself.]
[What kind of job is this with such stable and high pay, tell me, can I go too?]
[With that salary, who needs a promotion? Honestly, as long as I’m not fired, I could do it for life.]
Wen Yue thought: Not only that, there’s no office politics either.
In some respects, her job is an introvert’s dream. It’s hard to find a job that tops it in every way.
That’s why, despite considering it countless times, she never made the decision to jump ship.
Although it might not sound great, at least it pays well!
Meanwhile, those who earlier boasted they could take Wen Yue’s place were now silent.
They quietly exited the live room while nobody noticed.
However, just when netizens were most excitedly discussing and preparing their resumes, Mu Yunchu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.
"Wait." Mu Yunchu frowned tightly, seeing something heavy yet confusing in the divination, "You’ll soon encounter a big trouble at work today."
"Big trouble?"
Wen Yue blinked.
She really only wanted to see if she should switch jobs.
Didn’t expect Mu Yunchu to say something like this.
Her attention was instantly captivated.
"What kind of big trouble?"
Netizens were unfazed.
[It’s nothing, I often encountered big trouble at work, or you could say, having me at our company is the biggest trouble.]
[Hearing you reminds me of when I first joined and accidentally overwatered our boss’s cherished money tree to death.]
[And then? Your boss didn’t fire you?]
[...Then she transferred me to an opposing company.]
[So everyone’s like this, I thought it was just me. Once, while traveling with my boss, I booked economy for them and business for myself...]
[Nothing beats what I did. Someone came to me last week to handle a death certificate for his father, and I asked for an ID card but he handed me his own...]
[And then? You didn’t even look?]
[...What I want to say is, I had already been working overtime for seven hours that day.]
[So you didn’t check?]
[...Don’t say anymore, I don’t want to relive that day.]
[Wow, I’m going to screenshot this and show my boss, tell him compared to you lot, what I did is nothing.]
[Indeed, the world is just one big chaotic troupe.]
...
Netizens wanted to reassure the fated person to relax, but she still wore a grave expression.
Only because she heard Mu Yunchu say, if not handled well, it could be very serious.
[Don’t worry, no trouble can cause the sky to fall. As you age, you realize this world gives us so many chances for reconciliation.]
[As a kid, not wearing a red scarf felt like the end of the world, not getting into a good college felt like my future was gone, even not landing a dream job after graduating felt like life was over... but looking back in my forties, nothing was ever that big a deal.]
[Streamer, stop scaring her, I don’t believe anything as bad as me issuing a death certificate to a living person can happen.]
But Mu Yunchu merely glanced at these comments and softly said, "This fated person is a Cremation Master."
[???]
[Such a niche profession?] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
[Let me guess how serious it can get, it can’t be that she cremated a living person, right!?]
