Chapter 1572: Xie's Mother Is Seriously Ill, and the Domineering President's Marriage Is Countdown
Although Li Xiaoyue mocks herself as a company killer, one thing she did not lie about is that she is indeed a capable person. Her work ability may not be particularly outstanding, but it is definitely sufficient for the same type of work.
In one day, she interviewed four companies, and two of them were interested in her. One of them even said that they would hire her directly without a second round of interviews.
But Li Xiaoyue was indeed Li Xiaoyue, she had her own personality. When she learned that the company that wanted to recruit her might have to work overtime a lot, she said on the spot that she wanted to go back and think about it. Even if the salary offered by the other party was good, she did not stay. The meaning of detailed discussion.
She is not so tough because Zhou Chen can tell her the truth, but she has always been like this. Salary is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the emotional gain while working. She doesn't want to get into trouble by working overtime all day long. So tired, I don’t even have time to play and study.
Li Xiaoyue's study is not the kind of study that involves learning book knowledge, but learning other things, such as handicrafts, sewing, stickers, and even plumbers and so on.
That's right.
Li Xiaoyue still has some knowledge of plumbers. She said that when she was in college, if there were problems with the water and electricity in the dormitory, she was responsible for repairing them. She could solve some minor water and electricity problems.
She would be willing to learn many basic skills in life if she wanted to. In her words, there are too many skills to overcome.
A few days later, Li Xiaoyue selected a company that was willing to hire her. It was still a small company with only more than 20 people, and she was a planning assistant, which was also her strength.
The most important thing is that this company has a stable day off on weekends and rarely works overtime. Of course, the salary is not high, only 7,000 after tax. The internship period is one month, and the salary is 20% off. After becoming a full-time employee, there may be other opportunities Performance benefits, salary can be slightly increased.
Li Xiaoyue is quite satisfied with this job, and Zhou Chen doesn't have any objections. As long as Li Xiaoyue is happy, he doesn't expect Li Xiaoyue to make money to support the family, so that she can have something to do and be happy. Even if the salary is lower, there will be no problem. .
In a blink of an eye, Li Xiaoyue has been working for a week. As she expected, the working hours are not long and she is not tired. Anyway, she has only worked overtime once for a week, and it is only one hour, so She was more satisfied.
At this time, Shen Lei's peaceful life encountered trouble. Xie Meilan's mother came to the hospital in Beijing for treatment of terminal lung cancer.
In fact, Xie Meilan's mother has always known that she has a physical problem and has been taking medicine. She just doesn't want to disturb her daughter and son-in-law, so she is treating it herself.
But not long ago, her condition became more and more serious. After a checkup, she learned that she had lung cancer, and it was already in the advanced stage.
She knew she was hopeless, so she wanted to spend more time with her daughter in her last moments, so she called her daughter and explained her condition.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue to Xie Meilan. She immediately left her job and went to her hometown with Shen Lei to take her mother to a hospital in the capital for treatment.
Xie Meilan's mother came to the capital more because she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, not because she wanted to cure the disease, because late-stage lung cancer was impossible to cure, and she knew it.
But as a daughter, Xie Meilan has not shown much respect to her mother at such an old age. How could she not treat her mother's illness? Therefore, as soon as her mother came to the capital, she arranged for her to be admitted to a top-level hospital for hospitalization.
The old man wanted to spend more time with her daughter at the last moment of her life, but after being hospitalized, she found that she did not spend much time with her daughter. Instead, her son-in-law Shen Lei waited on her in the morning, noon and evening, and Shen Lei stayed with her in the hospital most of the time. She and her daughter Xie Meilan are always working and have endless things to do every day.
Late-stage lung cancer is not easily cured by medicine nowadays. In order to let her mother live longer, Xie Meilan went directly to chemotherapy. This not only failed to achieve the therapeutic effect, but made her mother's physical condition worse and worse, and then She asked around where there were good experts and which hospital could treat this kind of cancer.
In order to save people, she wanted to transfer her mother to the Oncology Department of Union Medical College Hospital for treatment, but the problem was that there were no beds at all, so she asked Shen Lei to ask for help and ask the leaders to find connections to see if they could use the back door to treat her mother. Transferred to the Oncology Department of Union Medical College Hospital.
But what kind of character is Shen Lei? He is not willing to ask the leader for help. Instead, he persuades Xie Meilan not to waste her efforts. She has advanced lung cancer. This hospital is not bad now. The doctors here have no good solution. Even if she goes to Union Hospital , it may not be useful. You should spend more time with your mother-in-law.
But Xie Meilan has obviously entered a strange circle, as if she has a nightmare. She can't hear Shen Lei's words at all. Instead, she feels that Shen Lei is not a man, not a good husband or son-in-law, and she has to watch her mother die of pain and illness. .
The two of them had quarreled several times over this matter. To be precise, Xie Meilan quarreled like crazy many times. Shen Lei basically held it in, but no matter how unpleasant Xie Meilan's scolding was or how harsh the quarrel was, he He was also unwilling to seek help from the leader because he really felt that there was no need or need to take advantage of this favor.
Xie Meilan also had no choice against Shen Lei, who was very smart, so she could only think of other ways. When the doctor said that there was a special medicine that might be promising, she wanted to buy it without saying anything, but this medicine was horribly expensive. She and Shen Lei didn't have much money in their savings at all. They couldn't last long and they would soon run out of money.
She had no money, so she asked Shen Lei to borrow it, but Shen Lei didn't want to. He still insisted that the medicine was useless and that it wouldn't cure advanced lung cancer even if she used it.
But Xie Meilan didn't believe him at all. She was desperate to use it and got mad at Shen Lei.
"There's really no money at home. You want me to borrow it. Who can I borrow it from? It's not a small amount of money."
Shen Lei was so angry that tears came down. He really didn't want to beg people to borrow money. He didn't understand what was wrong with his wife. She had advanced lung cancer and it couldn't be cured. Why didn't she just accept her fate? Wouldn't it be better to let the old man leave quietly? She had to torment her mother-in-law, him, and their family like this.
But he didn't know that Xie Meilan's rage this time was not just because of her mother's illness, but because of the anger that had been suppressed for many years, which broke out all at once.
"Who can you borrow from? Go borrow from your sister. They have money. You are her brother, so why can't you borrow from them? You can also ask your parents. They have money to build a house. How can they not have money to give you?"
"Most of the money for our house was paid by my sister. My sister's family is the only one who earns money. Zixuan just gave birth to the baby, and the family also hired a nanny. My brother-in-law supports the whole family alone. How can he have much money to lend us?"
"Why not? Haven't you seen what your sister posts on WeChat Moments every day? Living in a big house, wearing a big diamond ring, eating, drinking, using and wearing everything good, how can they not have money? Even if they don't have money, you can also borrow from Na Jun. You have seen how rich he is. Borrowing a few hundred thousand is nothing to him, but these few hundred thousand may save my mother's life."
Xie Meilan yelled at Shen Lei at the top of her lungs. She had endured enough and didn't want to endure it anymore. Whoever could give her money to save her mother, she would not be afraid of any humiliation and could pull down any face.
But Shen Lei's answer disappointed her again.
"Go to Na Jun to borrow money? We are separated from him by a layer of relationship, how can I have the nerve to ask him, and our mother's illness, it..."
"Shut up, shut up."
Xie Meilan knew what Shen Lei was going to say, and she jumped up and yelled at Shen Lei out of control.
"Shen Lei, that's my mother, that's my mother, my only relative in this world, who said her illness can't be cured, there are cures, you just don't want to spend money, don't want to lose face to ask for help, okay, if you don't go, I will."
After a quarrel, Xie Meilan didn't go home for the next two days, and didn't say a word to Shen Lei, just lived in the hospital.
Just when Shen Lei was thinking about going to his sister Shen Lin to borrow money for the sake of family harmony, Xie Meilan suddenly told him that the money had been collected, and her boss lent her 100,000 yuan to buy medicine for treatment, but in fact she deceived Shen Lei and borrowed not 100,000 yuan, but 400,000 yuan.
However, the simple Shen Lei did not think much about it, and did not even care that Xie Meilan asked someone to borrow money. He was not afraid of paying back the money, as long as he did not have to borrow money from others.
But unfortunately, even though Xie Meilan spent a huge amount of money on special medicine, she could not save her mother's disease, and even did not prolong her life. After taking the medicine, she died in the hospital not long after.
With the death of her mother, it also meant that Xie Meilan and Shen Lei's marriage was coming to an end, and Zhou Chen's goal, the domineering president Lu Jie, would soon be online.
…………
After Li Xiaoyue joined the company, it was time to pay the first month's salary in a blink of an eye. After the salary was paid, she immediately took Zhou Chen to eat hot pot and ordered a lot. Even Zhou Chen, a big eater, did not finish it completely. A hot pot for two people cost 1,000 yuan, which directly consumed one-sixth of Li Xiaoyue's salary.
However, Li Xiaoyue did not care about spending money at all. After eating hot pot, she took Zhou Chen to have fun again, and did not go home to rest until the second half of the night.
During this period, Zhou Chen also found a nanny who came to work after buying groceries every morning. She was mainly responsible for lunch and dinner, as well as housework and hygiene at home.
Because the salary was high and the environment was good, there were many competitors. Zhou Chen chose a more down-to-earth middle-aged woman, 50 years old, with ten years of nanny experience and a period of live-in nanny. Needless to say, her business ability and cooking skills were also very good.
After spending a month of probation with Zhou Chen, Li Xiaoyue was also very satisfied. Zhou Chen decided to hire her and signed a contract.
However, after learning about the salary, Li Xiaoyue secretly smiled and said to Zhou Chen: "The nanny's salary is really high, much higher than my salary, which makes me want to be a nanny."
Zhou Chen hugged Li Xiaoyue and said: "That won't work. Li Xiaoyue can only serve me in this life."
On this day, Li Xiaoyue was resting. She didn't stay at home, but made an appointment with a few good friends to get together. After a discussion, everyone decided to gather at Chuanchuanxiang.
Li Xiaoyue has quite a lot of WeChat groups, most of which are for eating, drinking and having fun, and there are also many Hanfu groups, work groups, friend groups, network groups, etc.
The one where she chats the most and has the best relationships is a small group of seven people named "Zhu Zhuo Qi Hua".
The seven people in the group are all girls, including her classmates and friends. Because everyone has similar hobbies, such as Hanfu, eating, drinking and having fun, they have a very good relationship and often make appointments to play together.
The seven girls in the group, although they all have the same hobbies and like to play, have different personalities. Five of them are migrant workers in Beijing, and only two are locals in Beijing. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not married yet.
Oh, no, Li Xiaoyue is the only one among them who has obtained a marriage certificate, so she is the only married young woman in the group. Since she showed off her marriage certificate, she has been teased by the sisters in the group and they all call her a married young woman.
In the evening, five of the seven people in the small group came, including Liu Miaoying, who has the best relationship with Li Xiaoyue, and Qingqing, Cui Ling, and Han Jiajia.
As soon as Li Xiaoyue walked in, she was teased by others.
"Oh, our married young woman, General Manager Li, is here, everyone welcomes."
Li Xiaoyue sat down amid the applause, not embarrassed at all.
"This is the first time that Ms. Li, the young lady, invited us to dinner after her marriage. Why didn't the male protagonist come today? He has been hiding for so long. We only saw his photos, but he didn't even bring him to us in person."
Liu Miaoying raised her hand with a smile: "Well, I have to tell the truth. I have seen him in person, and more than once. The earliest time was three years ago. He is quite handsome, tall, rich and handsome."
Usually, they don't bring their boyfriends to parties, so among the girls, only Liu Miaoying has seen Zhou Chen.
Li Xiaoyue didn't care about everyone's teasing, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, Na Jun went to Hong Kong to deal with something two days ago. He and I just got the marriage certificate, but we haven't prepared for the wedding yet, so strictly speaking, we haven't been completely married. On the wedding day, I will definitely treat you to a big meal."
"Mr. Li, we will remember this."
"Remember, remember."
"Mr. Li, did you drive your Porsche when you came here today?"
"How does that sentence go? I'm afraid that my brother will suffer, and I'm afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover. Every time I see Mr. Li driving a Porsche, I am more determined to find a potential stock in the future. I want to drive a Land Rover."
"I'm different. I just like little brothers, especially handsome little brothers. If they can care about people and live a better life, then it will be more perfect. I'm willing to pay for them."
"Wow!"
Faced with the teasing of several sisters, Li Xiaoyue still had a smile on her face.
"You know me. When I was dating Na Jun, he wasn't as rich as he is now. We were in true love."
"True love, we understand, we all understand."
"I won't joke with you anymore. I told you I'm treating you today, so you have to drink. I'm not driving."
Liu Miaoying said, "Then you can come with me after this. I'll drive. If you drink, I'll call a designated driver to take you home first, so you can drink as much as you want today."
"Okay, we sisters haven't gotten together for almost two months. Let's eat and drink as much as we want today. You don't have to save money for me."
"Mr. Li is generous. Go get her."
