Although he was in a very depressed mood, Chen Bin still changed his clothes and went to the company as soon as possible.
Today is Monday. According to the usual practice, he should go back to the company to handle his duties. The consequences of being absent from work for no reason are serious, and he may not even be able to keep his job.
Fortunately, the company was not far from the place where he rented the house, only three stations away. Chen Bin walked into the lobby with a heavy heart. As soon as he pressed the elevator button, he heard someone calling his name.
"Chen Bin, why are you in such a hurry? Your face looks so bad. You must be sick, right?"
Chen Bin turned around and saw a slightly concerned face, that of Zhao Peng, a colleague from another department.
He and Zhao Peng joined the company in the same year, and had a good relationship in private. They were used to intrigues in the workplace, and there were not many people who could talk to them intimately.
Maybe Chen Bin looked too haggard, which aroused Zhao Peng's concern, "I haven't seen you for just two days, and you look so bad. Do you want to take a few days off to rest?"
"No, it's okay."
Chen Bin shrank his neck unnaturally, fearing that his colleagues would see that he was a monster.
The elevator arrived quickly, and he couldn't wait to run into the office, only to find several colleagues who didn't usually have good relationships with him, looking at him with gloating expressions.
Chen Bin was just a little stunned and understood what was going on.
He bravely knocked open the manager's office. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean shape and a short, fat toad-like figure, glaring at him angrily.
The man’s surname is Wu and he is Chen Bin’s department manager.
Looking at Chen Bin walking into the office, Manager Wu immediately put on a arrogant leadership style and threw a pile of documents on him.
"You still have the nerve to come into my office and see what you've done. You can't even handle a document. The company really paid for you, a loser."
Chen Bin said nothing, lowered his head and packed up the documents.
This is the tragedy of little people. Chen Bin is often ostracized at work. Even if he is trained to be a grandson, he still has to put on a smile.
Coupled with his unexcused absence from work, he was already at fault. Chen Bin thought that he would be fine with just a few words of reprimand. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, Manager Wu once again threw a document.
"This is the planning report from the marketing department. I give you 24 hours and give it to me before tomorrow afternoon."
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, but did not reach out to pick it up. He asked with a blank expression, "This seems to be your brother-in-law's job, right?"
Not long ago, Chen Bin had an opportunity for job promotion. When he brought this gift to visit Manager Wu's house, the manager smiled and said that he valued Chen Bin's work ability and that there would be no problem with this promotion.
Unexpectedly, Chen Bin was sold out in a blink of an eye and the promotion spot was given to his brother-in-law.
Now he is actually pushing that pustule brother-in-law's job onto him again, what does this mean?
"What's your attitude? Do you not want to do it anymore?"
Manager Wu's face sank. No one in the department dared to speak to him like that.
"Nothing else, it's just that you left all the work to me, so what does your brother-in-law do for a living?"
In the past, Chen Bin definitely wouldn't have dared to speak with this attitude, but due to the imbalance in his mind caused by long-term oppression, and his really irritable mood today, he responded coldly.
"Are you... looking for scolding?"
Manager Wu was stunned and stood up while holding on to his desk, "If you don't want to do this, you can get out. The company won't spend money to support a waste like you!"
Manager Wu doesn't think he is going too far. This is a common thing for him. Shouldn't his employees be scolded whenever they want?
But this time, Chen Bin, who never retaliates when scolded, his eyes gradually became sharper.
He no longer bent down to apologize as usual, but said coldly,
"Speaking of the word waste, your brother-in-law is obviously more suitable. What has he brought to the company? Apart from chatting with the big-breasted girl at the front desk, and stealing the fruits of his colleagues' work to get the upper hand, he is simply a worthless worm!"
"Nonsense, you are slandering!"
Now Manager Wu was furious. Of course he knew what kind of virtue his brother-in-law was, but Chen Bin accused him face to face without giving any face, which made him, the manager of the seating department, feel provoked. His bald forehead turned red, and he stretched out his hand to hit Chen Bin. Push against the wall.
Snapped!
The sudden slap interrupted Manager Wu's movements.
The slap sent his fat body flying sideways and hit the bookcase hard.
The information on the table was scattered all over the floor.
"You...actually beat up your boss?"
Manager Wu was stunned, covering his burning cheeks, and his whole body was almost petrified.
There was dead silence in the office, and all colleagues looked at Chen Bin in disbelief.
What happened today? Chen Bin, who had always been submissive in the office, actually dared to attack his boss in front of so many people.
"Chen, I will make you pay the price. You have no idea how expensive this slap is!"
The silence lasted for two seconds until Manager Wu roared like a murderous pig. He could have turned on his phone, but the back of his hand was held down by a long and powerful hand, making him unable to move.
"what are you doing?"
Facing Manager Wu's fearful gaze, Chen Bin bowed slightly, his eyes flashing brighter than a knife.
"You can call the police, or I can expose the fact that you colluded with finances to embezzle the company's property, and we'll see who will be unlucky then."
"you!"
Manager Wu had beads of sweat dripping from his forehead and said bluffingly, "Who are you trying to scare? Do you have any evidence?"
"Have you forgotten that the last time you transferred the company's materials report, I completed it for you?"
Chen Bin smiled and patted Manager Wu's livid face.
"Don't mess with me from now on!"
After saying these words, Chen Bin turned around in a stride, ignored the shocked looks of his colleagues, and quickly went downstairs to get some fresh air.
In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt his emotions becoming more and more manic and uncontrollable, and the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.
Leng Buding's phone vibrated. Chen Bin lowered his head. It was a call from his colleague Zhao Bin.
"Are you crazy? How dare you tell Manager Wu not to come to the stage in front of you, without fearing that he will put on your shoes afterwards?"
"never mind."
Chen Bin spoke softly and slowly hung up the phone.
He loves so and so. Thinking of his strange disease, he even wants to die now. How can he care about the company's interpersonal relationships?
As soon as he put down his phone, Chen Bin felt hungry. Then he remembered that he had not eaten for two days in a row, and hurriedly walked to the convenience store opposite the company.
After buying two pieces of bread, Chen Bin wolfed down a big bite, but as soon as he ate it, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach. A strong desire to vomit prompted him to vomit out the bread he had just eaten.
"Boss, is your bread expired?"
Chen Bin turned around and asked the convenience store owner for an explanation.
The convenience store owner said doubtfully, "No, the bread in my store is all freshly produced."
Chen Bin was stunned and looked down at the date on the packaging bag.
The production date is written as last Friday. It is indeed fresh and has not expired.
What happened?
Chen Bin shook his head and decided to go to the vegetable market to buy something and cook at home.
As soon as he walked into the vegetable market, he was attracted by an inexplicable smell and followed him unknowingly. When he came to the stall, he was stunned.
There was an aunt squatting in the stall killing a chicken. The cuts on the necks of the dead chickens were very fresh and exuded a strong smell of blood.
Chen Bin stared straight at it, unable to look away, and even swallowed greedily.
Could it be that what attracted me here was this chicken being plucked?
It was unbelievable. He rarely visited the vegetable market. Occasionally when he saw these bloody scenes, he would feel uncomfortable and avoid them.
But now, looking at the raw meat on the stall, Chen Bin's eyes lit up and he wanted to pounce on it immediately and take a bite.
Chen Bin emptied his wallet, almost robbed the meat stall, and returned home with a large bag full of raw meat.
After returning to the rental house, Chen Bin didn't even bother to clean the blood on the chicken. He couldn't wait to grab the raw chicken and stuff it into his mouth.
The light chicken, mixed with the sweetness of blood, made him enjoy it, and every cell produced a chemical reaction like an electric shock.
…
When he woke up, it was already the next morning. Chen Bin stared blankly at the chicken skeletons piled on the chopping board, suspecting that he had turned into a carnivorous monster.
He licked the dried blood at the corner of his mouth and looked at the remaining food dumbfounded, only to realize that he had unknowingly eaten a full five or six kilograms of raw meat.
That’s almost what an adult would eat in two days…
The sweetness of raw meat still filled his mouth. Not only did Chen Bin not feel sick, but he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure. The unprecedented sense of satisfaction made him feel at a loss. Just when he wanted to escape from the kitchen, he felt his neck became itchy and his whole body The smelly sweat makes my clothes stick to my body, which is particularly uncomfortable.
His head was no longer dizzy, and his body was no longer hot. It seemed that the raw meat provided him with sufficient nutrition.
"What the hell is going on?"
His body felt sticky and uncomfortable, and Chen Bin had to give up thinking and walk into the bathroom to take a shower.
After unbuttoning his shirt, he received a new "surprise".
He actually shed his skin!
The wrinkled old skin on the chest turned into cuticles, which were loose and swollen from being soaked in hot water.
Chen Bin tore it casually and took off a large piece.
A layer of wrinkled "skin" appeared not only on the chest, but also on the neck, arms and cheeks.
He started to clean it up casually, but did not feel any discomfort. When all the dead skin was peeled off, Chen Bin looked at himself in the dressing mirror again, and he had a completely new look.
The new-born skin is very fair, as smooth and plump as a baby's, as if she is several years younger all of a sudden.
Of course, although a layer of dead skin was shed, the scales on the arms and chest did not fade away. However, as the emotions calmed down, those tortoise-shell-like lines seemed to fade a lot.
Chen Bin took a deep breath, suddenly clenched his fist, and then punched the dressing mirror with all his strength.
Click!
When he exerted force, those hardened cuticles reappeared, and his arms swelled up instantly. The shattered glass fragments bounced on the floor, making Chen Bin feel stunned and even shocked to the point of doubting his life.
It's like he really turned into a beast, a monster with pica!
