In the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, Xiaoya was sitting on the hospital bed. Her condition had stabilized, but her complexion remained poor.

Xiaoya stared blankly out the window, then sighed.

She blamed herself for messing things up; she was definitely out of work now, and she didn't know how long her savings would last.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the ward door, and a woman dressed simply and with graceful bearing walked in.

The woman was also carrying a large pile of maternity and baby supplies and health products.

"Sorry to bother you at this time."

Si Jiuyin introduced herself to Xiaoya: "I am Si Jiuyin, the chairman of Si's Group."

"Kashima Electric is wholly owned by our group."

The chairman of the Si Group? Xiaoya panicked. Was he here to cause her trouble?

Si Jiuyin noticed the panic on Xiaoya's face and quickly said softly, "No, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She thought to herself, "I knew it! If you're here to cause trouble, why are you carrying so many bags?"

But what happened next was beyond her expectations.

Si Jiuyin said sincerely, "I have an offer here."

"I'm here to ask you if you'd be willing to become a live-streaming sales host for our Si's Group's maternal and infant brands after you've finished your postpartum recovery?"

"Your salary will not be lower than what you earned at MU."

Si's Group, livestreamers specializing in maternal and infant products.

Xiaoya was completely stunned by this unexpected windfall.

Seeing that Xiaoya was silent, Si Jiuyin thought she was doubting her, so Si Jiuyin added, "It's not just empty promises, I've already brought the contract with me."

"If you are short of money right now, you can take an advance from your salary."

Si Jiuyin pulled the contract out of her bag.

When the contract was handed to her, Xiaoya, who hadn't spoken for a while, looked up, her eyes already red: "Thank you, Mr. Si, I really need a job."

Xiaoya's tears fell in a steady stream, her voice filled with self-reproach: "I'm not a good anchor, nor a good mother. Thank you for your kindness, I will remember it forever."

"You think I'm giving you a job out of pity?"

Si Jiuyin shook her head: "I watched your previous live streams. You are very professional and have a lot of charisma. I think it's a real shame that you're working at a company like MU."

"Otherwise, no matter how pitiful you are, I won't give you this offer. At most, I'll just offer my condolences."

"Our Si Group does not employ idle people."

Xiaoya's eyes widened in disbelief; her abilities had actually been recognized by the chairman of the Si Group!

Her first encounter with the role of a live-streaming e-commerce host was when she joined MU Company.

MU's boss said to Xiaoya, "Jobs are hard to find these days. I chose you from so many interviewees because your husband drives a truck on long-distance routes, and it's not easy for you to take care of your parents and in-laws all by yourself."

From that day on, Xiaoya was filled with gratitude towards MU's boss, and she worked hard to express her gratitude.

Seeing Xiaoya remain silent, Si Jiuyin said firmly:

"I don't know what your former boss said to you, but he probably kept putting pressure on you and using workplace manipulation techniques."

"You have to believe in your abilities, otherwise why would MU boss ask you to broadcast a charity special instead of having one of his own streamers do it?"

Xiaoya suddenly opened her eyes wide. She had been busy with work and family, and only now did she realize that it was not she who needed MU Company, but MU Company that needed her.

These company owners aren't philanthropists; they wouldn't hand over an important position to someone else out of pity.

"Think it over carefully, and remember, don't underestimate yourself."

Si Jiuyin sighed inwardly. Judging from Xiaoya's expression, she must have been suppressed by MU's boss a lot in the past.

He has done all he can to help now. The rest is up to Xiaoya to process. Only by untangling her inner knot can she improve her condition.

"I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

Just as Si Jiuyin got up to leave, Xiaoya suddenly called out to her.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Si, there's something I need to tell you!"

......

After leaving Haicheng People's Hospital, Si Jiuyin drove straight to Lujima Electric Appliances.

She never expected that coming here to undermine someone would lead to such earth-shattering news.

MU hair dryers have been harassing their company for four or five months, essentially sucking their blood to grow stronger.

Si Jiuyin's style was not as gentle as the original owner's; she had planned to crush this bloodsucking worm from the moment she learned about it.

Seeing that Si Jiuyin was in a good mood, Xiao Liu, the driver who was driving for Si Jiuyin, asked, "Ms. Si, what made you so happy?"

Si Jiuyin curled her lips into a smile: "It's getting cold, MU Company should go bankrupt."

While Li Han was taking action, the other three reporters were also on their way.

Lin Ce, a senior colleague of Li Han and He Qinqin at the same TV station, is investigating a report of academic fraud.

Lin Ce left in such a hurry that he forgot his phone. When he went back to his workstation to get it, he saw He Qinqin sitting there in a daze, her eyes red.

"Xiao He, what's wrong?"

Lin Ce handed He Qinqin a tissue. Although he didn't really like the NNT mascot, his personality made it impossible for him to stand idly by.

“You look like you didn’t sleep well. I have instant coffee on my desk; you can make yourself a cup.”

The director and cameraman captured this scene of colleagues helping each other and quickly gathered around to record this heartwarming moment in the workplace. However—

"Sorry, I don't drink instant drinks, they're unhealthy." He Qinqin took the tissue and sniffed.

Lin Ce immediately felt like he was meddling in other people's business.

But He Qinqin seemed to have found someone to confide in. She said to Lin Ce, "I got up at 4 a.m. this morning to pick up my boyfriend's aunt and uncle."

“My mom confiscated my car, so I rented one.”

Lin Ce originally intended to just hand over a piece of paper and leave, but now he could only follow He Qinqin's lead and ask, "Picking someone up at 4 a.m.? That's too much. You have to go to work and record a show today."

He Qinqin gave Lin Ce a strange look: "It's only natural for me to pick up Shi Yao's aunt and uncle. They're like my family."

“They must be tired from taking such a long train ride back. It’s no trouble for me to pick them up.”

Lin Ce was completely dumbfounded by He Qinqin's remarks. He remembered Si Jiuyin saying that when she had a seizure in front of He Qinqin, He Qinqin wouldn't even take her medicine.

Lin Ce could only bite the bullet and ask, "Then, why were you crying?"

He Qinqin: "Shi Yao's cousin scratched the car I rented."

Lin Ce immediately got angry: "This kind of brat should be hung from the rafters and beaten!"

However, He Qinqin gave Lin Ce a strange look: "Senior Brother Lin, how come you have no tolerance at all? It's normal for little boys to be naughty, and the car was only scratched a little."

"What angers me is that the car rental company is going to deduct 2,000 yuan from my deposit!"

"They're so dark!"
