Yunchuan City, Shengda Trading Co., Ltd.

The atmosphere in the office was heavy, and Zhang Lina, who had exquisite makeup, leaned on the boss's chair and looked at the little girl in front of her with half-lowered eyes.

The slightly raised eyebrows hide a bit of contempt and disdain.

Sensing Zhang Lina's strange gaze, Shen Qiuqiu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Subconsciously, I took a step back, put my hand in my trouser pocket and gently pressed the start button of the recorder.

"Mr. Zhang, I still have a report that I haven't finished yet. If there's nothing else, I..."

Zhang Lina raised her hand to interrupt her, "Mr. Wu from Shenyuan called me and said that he had a few too many drinks last night and had no intention of offending you.

He is hosting a banquet at the Blue Moon Hotel tonight and I will apologize to you."

Thinking of the bald old man who pretended to be crazy during the dinner party and took advantage of her, Shen Qiuqiu felt disgusted.

"I have some personal matters tonight, so it might not be convenient for me to go."

Zhang Lina smiled and was noncommittal.

"You should know how important the Shenyuan project is to the company.

As long as you can win this project, the position of deputy sales manager will be yours, with an annual salary of no less than 500,000 yuan."

Throwing these words away lightly, Zhang Lina slowly lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke rings gracefully.

He looked calm and confident, as if he was sure that Shen Qiuqiu could not refuse such a big temptation and would definitely trade his body for benefits.

However, Shen Qiuqiu is destined to disappoint her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. My abilities are limited, so I'd better leave this project to other colleagues."

Zhang Lina stopped smoking and felt a little unhappy.

She put out the cigarette butt, opened her red lips and said slowly: "Xiao Shen, I remember that your hometown is in a rural area and a mountainous area. It is not easy for a college student to grow up in the mountains.

You are a little girl who left your hometown to seek life in a big city. You also want to change your destiny and gain a foothold in a big city.

I think the Shenyuan project is your opportunity. As long as you seize this opportunity, you can gain a firm foothold in this city.

As a person, you should not be too small-minded and don't be too rigid in doing things. It is not easy for women to enter the workplace, so they must know how to use their own advantages."

Shen Qiuqiu felt the other party's full malice.

She took a deep breath and refused again: "Sorry, everyone has their own ambitions. I can't do this project."

Her patience exhausted, Zhang Lina laughed angrily.

It was the kind of smile that was laced with malicious sarcasm, as if someone had heard some ridiculous joke.

"Shen Qiuqiu, I've seen people like you a lot, don't just rely on your beauty to show off in front of me.

Mr. Wu can like you because he is giving you face. Don’t be shameless and you will be fined if you don’t eat the toast."

Shen Qiuqiu also laughed angrily, with a professional smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Since you want to please Wu Tian so much, I suggest you, Mr. Zhang, go to the battle in person. Maybe you can get greater benefits for the company."

After leaving these words, Shen Qiuqiu turned around and strode out of the general manager's office.

Zhang Lina was so angry that she was shaking all over. She picked up a pile of documents on the table and threw them in the direction Shen Qiuqiu left.

"People who come from rural areas just can't get on the stage! If you don't want to do it, get out and go back to your hometown to farm!"

Shen Qiuqiu returned to her workstation, and her colleagues gathered around her.

"No matter what the situation, if you can make the eldest lady jump with anger, you are pretty awesome."

Shen Qiuqiu said with a self-deprecating smile while processing the files on the computer: "The eldest lady asked me to dedicate myself to my work. I said that a little girl would not sell her body if she is an artist, and then she became anxious."

This amount of information was so huge that my colleagues all opened their mouths in an O shape in surprise.

At almost noon, Shen Qiuqiu received a dismissal notice from the company's human resources department in her OA.

The reason for dismissal was: violation of company disciplines, serious dereliction of duty, causing significant economic losses to the company.

Zhang Lina is a villain who always takes revenge, so this result is not surprising at all.

Shen Qiuqiu only thought it was ridiculous that the company would go bankrupt sooner or later if there was such a eldest lady.

She quickly typed out three copies of the dismissal notice from the OA system.

Then he backed up the electronic files to his mobile phone and left the company gracefully with his packed belongings.

In the next few days, Shen Qiuqiu compiled the information on hand, as well as the recording of the conversation with Zhang Lina in the office that day, and applied for labor arbitration to the Labor Bureau.

On the third day after submitting the application, Shen Qiuqiu received the acceptance notice from the Labor Arbitration Commission.

Two days later, Shen Qiuqiu received a call from the company's HR manager.

The other party proposed to reconcile, but the prerequisite was that Shen Qiuqiu delete all the recordings on his mobile phone and promise not to leak them.

Shen Qiuqiu knew that the chairman must be taking charge of the overall situation.

The recording she made in the office at that time may not be of much significance to the outcome of the labor arbitration.

But if word spreads, the cooperation between Shengda and Shenyuan will no longer be possible, and it will even affect the corporate image of the two companies.

Shen Qiuqiu joined Shengda after graduating from university and worked for three years.

According to the national labor arbitration compensation standards, she can receive three months' salary as financial compensation.

To show its sincerity in conciliation, Shengda promised to provide six months' salary as financial compensation.

No one has trouble with money, Shen Qiuqiu readily agreed.

Then he signed a settlement agreement with Shengda and canceled the labor arbitration application.

In the afternoon of that day, the financial compensation paid by the company arrived, 81,236.85 yuan.

This time's financial compensation, plus the savings saved before, and the year-end bonus issued at the beginning of the year.

Shen Qiuqiu's current bank card balance is 226113.41.

Looking at the balance on the card, Shen Qiuqiu felt a little inertia.

Her family background was not good. Her father died in a car accident when she was seven years old. Not long after, her mother abandoned her and her newborn brother and ran away with others.

Therefore, she and her brother grew up with their grandparents.

The grandparents raised the two siblings by farming and feeding pigs, and their life was very difficult.

The tuition for college was financed by student loans.

She knew that it was not easy for her grandparents. After entering college, in addition to studying hard, she also worked hard to make money.

When she was in college, Shen Qiuqiu was recognized as the "Desperate Sannyasin" in her class.

Apart from attending classes, she is either working or on her way to work.

Almost every weekend, holiday, winter and summer vacation, I work hard to make money.

She earned all her living expenses and tuition fees for the four years of college by working part-time.

After joining the workforce, the "Desperate Sanniang" worked even harder, and was labeled an "overtime madman" by her colleagues in the company.

Colleagues often ask her: Where do you get so much energy and are you never tired?

Shen Qiuqiu will answer with her eight-character motto every time: work hard and live hard.

Are you tired? Very tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

However, you have to work hard to survive.

It has been seven years and I have worked hard for so long, but suddenly I don’t want to work hard anymore.

I want to be lazy, I want to be salty, I want to sleep every day and wake up naturally.

After working hard outside for so many years, I actually miss home.

I miss my grandparents, the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds in Qinghe Village, the sour wild fruits in the mountains and the braised pork cooked by my grandma.

After much consideration, Shen Qiuqiu decided to be willful and give herself a short vacation.

She greeted her roommate Li Mao in advance.

"I'm going back to my hometown. There's still half a year left on the lease of this house. You can help me rent out my room online."

Li Mao was puzzled, "No, it's not possible. Shengda can't do it. At worst, we'll have to find another company and start over.

You are beautiful and capable. When you graduate, many companies are vying for you.

And don’t you still want to buy a house in Yunchuan and bring your grandparents over to live with you? What can you do when you go back to your hometown?”

Zhang Lina's angry look suddenly appeared in her mind, and Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing, "Go back to your hometown and farm."

"Ah?" Li Mao asked a black question mark on his face after hearing this.

Shen Qiuqiu bought the ticket, packed her large luggage, and sent it back to her hometown via logistics.

Before leaving, she invited her friends and several former colleagues with whom she was close to have a meal.

In the bustling hotpot restaurant, more than ten of them sat in a large private room, and Shen Qiuqiu ordered a dozen beers.

After a few glasses of wine, I started to talk more.

Regarding her departure, her friends all expressed the same confusion and questions as Li Mao.

Shen Qiuqiu's answer was, "I have been wandering outside for so many years and I feel homesick."

But that's just in front of people, when she's alone, she will collapse.

Last month, Shen Qiuqiu and company leaders had dinner with clients.

During the dinner, Wu Tian, ​​the big boss of the other company, kept touching her and speaking frivolously under the guise of toasting her.

Everyone present pretended not to see it.

She had been avoiding the other person's physical contact calmly, and later she turned black when she couldn't bear it anymore.

Some colleagues in the company even mocked her in a low voice.

"Isn't it just to have a drink and a meal with you?"

"Why are you pretending to be a chaste and fierce woman..."

Shen Qiuqiu resisted the urge to throw wine in their faces and escaped from the private room on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

She felt particularly wronged, drank some more wine, couldn't control her emotions and collapsed, crying alone in the bathroom for a long time.

During this period, my grandma from my hometown called me several times, but she didn't dare to answer the phone.

After adjusting my mood, I returned to the past.

But when she heard grandma's voice, she couldn't help but choked up.

Grandma said on the phone: Xiaohua, if you are wronged outside, come back. There is land at home, and grandma can afford to support you.
