In Chapter 18, without anyone specifically mentioning it, Jiang Xixi knew from Wang Jie's guilty look, like a cat seeing a mouse, that this person must be their leader.

To prevent Sister Wang and the others from shirking responsibility and making irresponsible remarks, Jiang Xixi decided to strike first.

"Hello Director Wang, I'm Jiang Xixi, the new guy in our building. Sister Wang said she needs me to watch the counter for her. Look, the line behind my counter stretches all the way to the building entrance. I only have two hands, how am I supposed to manage?"

It's not that I didn't want to help; if my counter wasn't busy, I definitely would. It's just that my colleagues at the other counter seemed to misunderstand me, saying I didn't know the department store's rules, and then we had an argument.

Wang Xuan glanced at the group and asked in a low voice, "Is that what she said?"

"yes"

Although Sister Wang really didn't want to admit it, that was indeed the case.

She dared not make things up; her boss was a man who couldn't tolerate any lies, and if he found out she was lying, her punishment would be even more severe.

Once you know the source of the problem, it will be easier to solve.

"Wang Qinzhi, this isn't the first or second time you've bullied your new colleague. If you need to go out, you should give me a report in advance. It's not like I won't approve it."

If this happens again, you should pack your bags and leave as soon as possible.

Wang Xuan's tone was stern, and Sister Wang on the other end was quite frightened.

A job at a department store is highly coveted, and she had fought tooth and nail to get it. If her husband found out she had lost her job, remembering the days when she was beaten and kicked, Sister Wang shuddered with fear.

He quickly replied to the leader.

"Director Wang, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time."

"Fine, I'll give you one more chance. If it weren't for your sister, I would have kicked you out long ago."

Look at yourself! What are you doing? It's only a few minutes past the hour. What are you doing packing your things? You don't look like you're going to work.

Sister Wang offered another sincere apology, fearing that the director might actually fire her.

Since he was a long-time employee, Director Wang had to give him some face and didn't make a big deal out of it.

After Director Wang left, Wang Qinzhi glared at Jiang Xixi with great resentment.

"You just wait."

We'll wait then, who's afraid of who!

Jiang Xixi rolled her eyes at her. Rolling her eyes is something no one can do.

Jiang Xixi had seen many people like this when she was starting her business in her previous life. In her opinion, Sister Wang's behavior was child's play. If it weren't for the need to gain a foothold in the department store, she would have ignored her completely.

As Jiang Xixi walked out of the department store that evening, she unconsciously twisted her neck. Sure enough, there was no easy time at work.

The job of a sales clerk is relatively easy.

In my previous life, the heavy farm work every day was enough to drive anyone crazy, especially when I encountered that lazy bunch of Chen family members.

They were sent down to the countryside, and the work they were assigned was already heavy and difficult.

As a result, when the Chen family went to work, one of them would sprain their ankle, another would have a fever or a cold, and they simply couldn't work.

She still feels exhausted when she thinks about those days.

I wonder if Miss Jiang Yurou can adapt to such hardship and exhaustion.

...

The pampered young lady, Jiang Yurou, is indeed on the verge of a breakdown.

"Yu Rou, Mom isn't feeling well. She'll go home and rest for a while. Can you help her with some of the tasks?"

It happened again, Jiang Yurou was furious.

The trip to the countryside lasted a total of three days, and Chen's mother used this excuse for all three days.

"Mom, I had a lot of work to do today."

Chen's mother had been pampered by her husband and children her whole life, and was naturally a delicate person. Now, Jiang Yurou had really stirred up a hornet's nest.

"I knew you couldn't do any work. I told you I wasn't feeling well, couldn't you have helped me a little? Did I marry a princess?"

Chen's mother's voice was sharp, but when she saw that someone was coming, her tone softened.

"Yu Rou, you help Mom with some chores. I'm going back to rest. My feet just can't take it anymore."

"Mom, I have a lot of work to do today. I see that Dad's work is easier. Do you think Dad can help you out? If he can't finish by the end of the day, we can give him a few fewer points."

Jiang Yurou used all her patience to communicate with Chen's mother.

She can't even pretend properly. Last night when she went to the bathroom, she clearly saw Chen's mother walking briskly. But today, she has to go to work, so she's putting on an act again.

“Your dad is too old to do such heavy work. You can just do my work when you’re done. What are you complaining about?”

You can't compare to your sister in this respect; I've heard she's incredibly efficient at work.

Chen's mother also regretted it. If she had known that Jiang Yurou was this kind of person, she would have preferred to choose Jiang Xixi instead.

Their family thought that Jiang Yurou was favored and would definitely be able to bring a lot of money.

But who would have thought that this woman was a greedy creature who only took in money and never gave it out? She had been at the Chen family's house for so many days, and apart from the hundred yuan she took out to prepare supplies for her trip to the countryside, she hadn't received a single penny from them.

She's not good at work, she doesn't have any money or coupons, and she's not even as pretty as that girl Jiang Xixi.

Marrying her would be completely pointless.

When working in the countryside, the plots of land were very close together. Although Chen's mother thought she had lowered her voice, quite a few older women still heard the commotion.

"Sigh, how long do you think this mother and daughter will keep nagging? I thought they were city people. My land has been next to theirs for the past two days, so I can see them very clearly."

They keep passing the buck, and the work never gets finished, especially the old man, who doesn't do a single thing.

"Just you wait and see, those who were sent down to the countryside, they're not working now, but they'll have a hard time in the dead of winter."

"Exactly. Forget about doing any work, they might not even gather firewood. I wonder if they can survive the coming winter?"

The women muttered to themselves, but their hands moved with surprising speed.

The brigade leader, standing at the edge of the field, saw this scene clearly.

"The Zhang family, the one that was just sent down, has it been like this for the past few days?" The captain asked the scorekeeper next to him with an inscrutable expression and a low voice.

"Captain, even if you hadn't brought it up today, I was planning to go to your house tonight and have a good chat with you."

"Not a single one of them can do any work, and they refuse to learn, acting like they own the place." The clerk, Zhang, had been thoroughly tormented by the Chen family these past few days, and when the team leader asked him about it, he was full of complaints.

"Captain, if you ask me, you're just too good-natured. Look at the next brigade, those people who were sent down to the countryside don't dare to utter a single word in front of the villagers."

If you ask me, since they're being sent down to the countryside, they have to endure some hardship; otherwise, we won't know how to explain ourselves when the higher-ups ask.”

After thinking for a long time, the captain recalled the meeting he attended in the county town that morning, where the leaders conveyed their message.

I closed my eyes and thought about the state of the world these days!

"Let the villagers set some rules for them. The county is sending special personnel to investigate these days. Don't let our villagers get involved."

“Captain, if you ask me, you should have done this a long time ago. Otherwise, our village wouldn’t have been left out of the county’s selection of outstanding brigades in recent years.” Upon hearing this, Zhang, the clerk, smiled.
