Before Gu Ye could say anything, an old man mysteriously asked him, “Young man, did you see something?” 

Gu Ye was stunned, he looked up at the sky again, doubting his 5.2 vision*, was there really any hidden mysterious UFO?

*5.2 vision : In China, visual acuity is measured differently (5.0 is roughly 20/20 in the US). 

“Young man, did you see a flying saucer? What did it look like? Were there aliens? Human heads with snake bodies? Or like octopuses?”

The old man seemed to be an astronomy enthusiast and eagerly inquired about aliens. 

Others also came over, wanting to know what shocking new discovery Gu Ye had made. 

Just now, they saw Gu Ye was looking at the sky like a statue for two hours. 

If it weren’t for the amazing discovery, then he wouldn’t have lasted so long, which was not in line with human nature. 

Gu Ye twitched his lips, what the hell was going on… 

He wanted to tell the truth, that he was just daydreaming and thinking about life, but when he faced with a group of sincere and enthusiastic eyes, he couldn’t bear it and casually said, “I just saw a silver light flash by, but it didn’t come back after waiting for a long time. I don’t know if it was a UFO. 

“It must be aliens invading Earth!” the old man proclaimed.

“I’m telling you, aliens are up to no good. Maybe one of us here is actually an alien in disguise, trying to take over Earth. Everyone, stay alert!”

The old man talked eloquently, his awareness level was unusually high. 

The crowd listened with great interest, and soon no one paid attention Gu Ye,

He chuckled and slipped away from the crowd, striding home with purpose.

Even an old man could live so energetically, what right did he have to feel hopeless? 

If he couldn’t sell them in five days, then he would persist for fifty days. He refused to believe that not even one machine tool factory could be sold. 

At home, Gu Ye was still smiling, and even told jokes to Dabao and Xiaobao. 

He didn’t seem affected by his setbacks at work at all. 

Chu Qiao felt a little heartache watching him. Earlier that day, she had overheard some gossip and knew that Gu Ye’s recent sales hadn’t gone smoothly. 

Even though she believed Gu Ye would eventually make sales, she didn’t know how long it would take, and seeing him force a smile like that just pained her heart.

Earlier that day, she had gone to the restroom and overheard some women chatting in the nearby utility room. They were talking about the sales department.

“Chief Gu is really stupid, he just foolishly went out all by himself trying to sell the tool machines. I heard that he couldn’t even get past the front gates and got kicked out. Look at how smart other people are, they go to a teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks all day. And after such a comfortable day, they will still get their salary.” 

“How can you say that Chief Gu is stupid? His wife Xiao Chu is also stupid, she even made a bet with others that Chief Gu will definitely sell the machine tool within three months. Hmph, don’t say within three months, even within three years, I don’t think he will be able to sell one.” 

“I have also heard about it too, it’s ten yuan ah, but unfortunately I didn’t go buy groceries that day, otherwise, I could have earned an extra ten yuan.” 

“Come on, Chief Gu is already having a rough time. There’s no need to disgrace him while he’s down.” 

“Rough time? He is earning 60,000 yuan! What’s wrong with sharing some of that with us?” 

……

Chu Qiao heard all of the voices of these women’s discussions, but she didn’t show up and just quietly returned home. 

She was determined to win this bet, it was not for money, but for dignity. 

And those coworkers in the sales department, absolute scum! 

How could they just sit back and shamelessly accept their salaries like that?

No wonder the machine tool factory was going bankrupt. With so many freeloading parasites sucking it dry, even the mightiest tree would also crumble. 

After dinner was ready, Chu Qiao pretended to ask casually, “How is the machine tool sales going?” 

Gu ye paused, then showed an exaggerated grin, “I’m making great progress! Today, I visited an automotive parts factory. They said that they would seriously consider it and get back to me in a few days. Just wait for my good news!”
