Chapter 362: Tong Yao, is she your cousin?
Tong Yao found out about Song Yu’s disappearance the next afternoon. The foreman, seeing that Song Yu hadn’t come to work for some time, assumed that Song Yu no longer planned to stick around. He thought he’d been kind to Song Yu, even loaning him clothes, but now it looked like Song Yu had simply left without saying a word.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Before the end of his shift, he couldn’t help but go to Tong Yao’s shop to leave a message for Song Yu.
"Song Yu said he was going to visit his wife yesterday, and it’s been a whole day, and he hasn’t come back. Can you relay a message to him? If he doesn’t come to work tomorrow, I’ll assume he’s quit. He can forget about the salary he earned before."
Tong Yao raised an eyebrow, "You’re saying Song Yu hasn’t been back since yesterday?" Could it be that Song Yu and Si Xiaohui had reconciled, and decided to stay over at the latter’s house?
"Exactly!" The foreman said with an unmistakable anger. Then again, he realized that Tong Yao wasn’t necessarily to blame for Song Yu’s actions, so his tone softened slightly. "Isn’t his behavior harming others? It’s almost time for me to hand in my report to my boss, and now he just decides he’s not coming, without a word of notice! Where am I supposed to find someone else at this time?"
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have hired Song Yu in the first place.
Truth be told, he had hired Song Yu out of pity. But who knew that not only would the man end up being ungrateful, he would also leave without a word, even taking one of his clothes along with him.
Seeing the man filled with resentment, Tong Yao pragmatically said, "He has worked for you for so long, even if he doesn’t come back, you haven’t lost anything."
