I almost touched the moon

Chapter 38 Retribution

After dinner, Cheng Che still sent Wen Song home. Before leaving, he said to Wen Song, "Sister, I have signed up for Slopestyle and Ski Cross in the Free Skating World Cup next season."

"Very good." Wen Song nodded. "When is the competition?"

"Slopestyle will be held in November this year. The exact schedule is not known yet. The venue will be in Livigno. As for Ski cross, it will be held in January next year."

"November, I'm not sure, because I need to intern at ESO during that time to do my practical project, and I only have time on weekends." Wen Song pursed his lips, "But January should be fine."

"Okay." Cheng Che nodded, "It's okay, whether Sister has time or not, I will give you the ticket."

"Okay, go home quickly and spend some time with your parents."

"Hmm..." Cheng Che felt a little disappointed when he heard her words, but soon returned to his usual sunny smile, "Good night, sister."

The next day, Wen Song slept until about four in the afternoon. It had been a long and comfortable sleep since she had slept so well. Even after waking up, she did not get up from the bed, but continued to lie on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

For the next half month, she was in the same state, except for occasionally going out for a walk, going out for dinner with Cheng Che, or going horseback riding in the mountains and lakeside.

In early August, Cheng Che went to Finland for a closed training camp, and Wen Song also stayed at his mother's holiday villa in Spiz. Every day, apart from sleeping, he would swim in the swimming pool on the top floor, and then sit in the garden, drinking tea while looking at the sparkling lake in front of him and the snow-capped mountains on the other side of the lake.

Spiz is far away from the city. At night, the sky is full of stars. Sometimes she takes out the astronomical telescope and watches the stars by the lake. She has already memorized the positions and appearances of those stars, but she still likes to observe them, without any research purpose, just quietly appreciating the beauty of the stars in the universe.

She took a photo of Saturn and sent it to Cheng Che, with the caption [Saturn].

However, he did not respond until the next day.

Wen Song felt something was a bit strange and sent him another WeChat message, [Are you busy? ]

After sending the WeChat message, I had a simple breakfast, took a small yacht, lay at the stern and slowly sailed on the lake, letting the sun shine on me. I dozed off in the sun without realizing it, and lay there for the whole day.

In the evening, I finally received a reply from Cheng Che.

[Very beautiful. Sorry, sister, I have been in closed training recently and have not had much time to look at my phone. ]

Wen Song read the message, smiled faintly, put the phone aside, and did not reply. Since he was busy, she had no intention of disturbing him.

Life on vacation in Spiz is boring, but Wen Song loves it very much. She has always known that she is a person who is content with the status quo and has no ambitions. It's just that her perfectionist personality always forces her to do everything to the extreme.

Three days passed like this, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, she received a call from her good friend Li Yunjia in Japan.

“Songsong, let me tell you, ahahahaha!” Li Yunjia’s laughter on the other end of the phone was so loud that it could almost penetrate the entire Eurasian continent. “Do you still remember our stupid boss who embezzled company funds to buy a yacht? This idiot, there was no money in the company account, and he still went to buy a yacht. Damn it.”

"I remember." Wen Song, the boss of Li Yunjia, was also furious. "Did your report work?"

“It’s not used yet, but, Song Song, hahahahaha.” Li Yunjia’s smile was still there, “He’s dead hahahahahahaha.”

"What?" Wen Song thought she was joking, "What death? Are you dreaming?"

"I'm not dreaming." Li Yunjia said with a smile, "It's true. That idiot threw all the work to us. People in our department work overtime every day to clean up his mess. I'm almost exhausted. This idiot didn't give me a raise and only gave me a little overtime allowance. Who is he trying to fool? In the end, he drove a yacht to Okinawa for vacation."

"and then?"

"And guess what happened. Hahahahahaha." Li Yunjia's laughter was getting louder and louder. "He's dead. Really dead! It's retribution. It's really retribution! He encountered a storm and the boat capsized and everyone died! Don't you think this is karma for evil?"

Li Yunjia continued to scold: "That idiot forced us to work like slaves for him every day. He bought us luxury cars and yachts with the money he earned, or went on a world tour. He never gave us a raise. He even refused to approve my annual leave, saying that he had too many projects recently. What the hell are these projects? There are no new projects in the company. They are just to fill the holes he created."

"You know, we went to Korea on a business trip before, and this idiot bought us a low-cost flight! There was not even a luggage allowance! He bought himself a business class flight with ANA, isn't he damned?"

"Yeah!" Wen Song echoed, "Damn it, he finally died, it's a good death. What about your job now? Is your company going to go bankrupt? Otherwise, I'll tell my mom. The finance department of her consulting company in Tokyo is hiring and offering work visas."

"It's okay. I already found a new job. I was planning to quit when he came back. Now, not only do I not have to quit, I can also receive a large severance pay. I'm rich now!" Li Yunjia said with a smile, "Let me tell you, the shrine in Fukuoka is very powerful. Last time I went there to pray for me to get rich and change jobs, I got rich, and I don't have to clean up the mess he left behind."

"And Oh Songsong, I passed the tax accountant exam and will start working at the club next month. My salary will be 1.5 times higher than before! How about it, do you want to come and play with me?"

"Okay." Wen Song agreed immediately, "I'll come tomorrow. I want to watch the fireworks display."

"Then let's go to Fukuoka." Li Yunjia suggested, "There will be fireworks in Fukuoka this Saturday. And I must take you to that shrine, it's really effective, and it will grant whatever you wish for!"

"Okay." Wen Song had already booked the plane ticket while speaking. "I've bought the ticket and will arrive at 7 am the day after tomorrow. You accompany me to USJ first, and then we'll go to Fukuoka."

"Okay, okay," Li Yunjia responded, "I'm rich now, I'll treat you to Wagyu Sukiyaki."

Two days later, Wen Song landed at Osaka Kansai Airport.

Li Yunjia came to the airport to pick her up early in the morning. Although it was early in the morning, she was still in high spirits and radiant, completely different from the tired and reserved look when Wen Song saw her last time.

"This is for you. It's the chocolate you like." Wen Song handed her the gift. "And this bag. It's a gift for your new job."

Li Yunjia was not polite and accepted the gift readily. She held Wen Song's arm and smiled, "Song, let me tell you, I just found out that the dead man actually embezzled more than 5 million (yen) of public funds. Oh, I was really scared. Fortunately, I didn't know about it, otherwise I would have gone to jail."

"What the hell?!" Wen Song was also shocked. "Doesn't that mean your company's cash flow is gone?! Oh my god, what about your severance pay?"

"Luckily he really has no brains. He didn't transfer the money abroad, but hid it in his wife's personal account. Isn't that stupid?" Li Yunjia spat with disdain. "Luckily he's dead, otherwise we wouldn't know about this if he hadn't died. My poor hard-working part-time job as a social animal would have become his yacht, Lexus, and his wife's Hermes. Don't worry, the severance pay has been paid, and I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

"That's good." Wen Song was also really happy for Li Yunjia, "Have you got your visa? Come back to Switzerland with me before work."

"I won't go this time. I'll wait until autumn. I still want to go to Norway." Li Yunjia said, "There is a long vacation at the end of September. I will come to visit you then."

Then he said to Wen Song: "I will take you to the hotel to have a good sleep first, and then I will take you to dinner in the evening. Do you want to go to USJ, go shopping, or rest in the hotel tomorrow? We will go to Fukuoka the day after tomorrow."

"Let's go to USJ first." Wen Song said with a grin, "I haven't been there for a long time."
