Chapter 26: She has her sister-in-law to support her
“…”
Sun Jianguo covered his face with his hands, staring at Qin Song alertly and blankly, without saying a word.
Qin Song didn't force him to say it. She picked up Pei Lingxuan's bag that she had left on the chair, pulled her along and turned to leave. As she walked, she turned back to warn, "I will accompany Xiaoxuan to the company tomorrow morning to hand in my resignation notice. You'd better find someone to calculate Xiaoxuan's salary for me now and try to hand over the salary slip to Xiaoxuan tomorrow."
"If you dare to procrastinate and perfunctorily deal with me, I will come to the company every day to watch you work!"
"...You, you..." Sun Jianguo had never seen anyone as unreasonable and domineering as Qin Song. He subconsciously took two steps forward, but was scared back by Pei Xingzhi and Ye Ci who looked unfriendly.
"What? Wasn't what my wife said clear enough?" Pei Xingzhi's gaze fell on him coldly and he asked lightly.
“…”Sun Jianguo didn’t dare to answer.
Pei Xingzhi thought of what he had just said, and raised a contemptuous arc at the corner of his lips: "The Pei family is indeed bankrupt, but as my wife said, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor the Pei family is now, it is not your turn as a small manager of a small company to ride on their heads and act wildly."
"..." Sun Jianguo timidly looked away, not daring to say a word.
"I, Pei Xingzhi, am just poor, not dead. If I really want to deal with you, I still have the connections to help me." As Qin Song said this, he just walked to Pei Xingzhi. Pei Xingzhi then put his arm around Qin Song's shoulders and held her in his arms.
"You'd better listen to every word my wife says. If you dare to make things difficult for me, I will let you know how capable the Pei family is now."
Pei Xingzhi didn't want to get entangled, so after saying this, he put his arm around Qin Song and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Pei Lingxuan suddenly yelled, turned around and ran back to her workstation to search, "My tissues and garbage bags haven't been taken away yet. I bought them with my own money, so I have to take them all away no matter how cheap they are! Not even a scrap will be left behind!"
"You, there is no need for you to do this..." Sun Jianguo finally spoke, his eyes fixed on the huge package of tissues in Pei Lingxuan's hand.
"Why is it unnecessary?!" Pei Lingxuan yelled at him angrily. Because she was afraid of losing her job, she had been acting timidly and endured the humiliation for so long since she started working there, and she did not dare to offend Sun Jianguo.
But now that she has made up her mind not to do it, she naturally doesn't have to worry about this or that anymore. Under Sun Jianguo's gaze, she packed her oversized bag of tissues and garbage bag into her bag, and for the first time she turned around and scolded him.
"I bought these things myself. Of course I have to take them away now that I'm quitting my job! You always like to use my tissues at work, and now that I'm leaving you want to use my tissues, Sun Jianguo, you want to die!"
"You--" Sun Jianguo opened his mouth to fight back, but inadvertently met Pei Xingzhi's sinister eyes.
Pei Xingzhi has a gentle appearance and a restrained temperament. At first glance, one would think he has a good temper. But his good temper is only towards people close to him. If it is towards a disgusting guy like Sun Jianguo, he can be so cruel that it is scary.
Sun Jianguo was frightened by his eyes and immediately shut his mouth.
"This is a broken company!" Pei Lingxuan packed her things and slammed the drawer door open. "You'd better close it down!"
"Let's go, Xiaoxuan." Ye Ci saw her finish packing and waved for her to follow.
She trotted over to Ye Ci, turned around and looked at this disgusting office, and shouted happily: "It feels so good! Finally I don't have to wait on you anymore——"
“Bang!”
The car door closed and Pei Lingxuan, sitting in the back seat, suddenly felt unhappy.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm unemployed."
Pei Xingzhi started the car, controlled the steering wheel with one hand and drove out of the office building.
"It's normal to be unemployed. Just find another job."
"But I can't find a job." Pei Lingxuan leaned back in her chair dejectedly, looking sideways at the bustling neon lights outside the window. "Everyone knows that the Pei family is bankrupt. The Pei family has been prosperous in Yuncheng for a whole ten years, but now that it has fallen on hard times, there are many people who take advantage of it. Those companies that once disliked the Pei family and had conflicts with the Pei family, when they saw me going for an interview, they ridiculed me in various ways..."
"They were unwilling to hire me, and they also instigated other companies to reject me. Before joining this company, I participated in more than 50 interviews. But every time, they passed me because of my identity."
"Although Sun Jianguo is disgusting, he is the only one among so many people who is willing to let me stay and work. Pei Group is gone, and if I don't work, I won't be able to support myself and my mother. So, even though I know he is targeting me, I dare not say a word."
Pei Lingxuan's words were spoken softly, but they weighed as heavy as a thousand pounds in Pei Xingzhi's ears. This weight weighed heavily on Pei Xingzhi's heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
He took a deep breath and opened his lips slightly as if to say something, but no words came out.
The Pei Group prospered in his hands, but also perished in his hands. He not only hurt himself, but also his family.
"I..." He wanted to say sorry, but suddenly realized that saying sorry at this time would only make everyone feel worse. So after thinking about it, he shut up.
“…”
Silence flowed in the car, and the suffocating vines grew quietly, slowly climbing up everyone's ankles.
None of the three spoke, their minds were in a mess.
"Twenty thousand yuan has arrived via Alipay."
A mechanical and cold female voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the car.
"Huh?" Pei Lingxuan frowned, took out her cell phone from her bag, glanced at the screen, and her eyes widened instantly.
"Sister-in-law, why are you transferring money to me?"
Qin Song put away his phone with a faint smile on his face: "What else can I do with the money? Of course, it's for you to spend. This 20,000 yuan is what I earned from selling the necklace today. You can use it as money to find a job."
"No, I can't accept it!" Pei Lingxuan unlocked her phone, opened Alipay, and subconsciously wanted to transfer the money back to Qin Song. But when she was about to transfer the money, she found that Qin Song had blocked her on Alipay.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" She sat up straight, leaned over to Qin Song's chair, and her eyes were full of anxiety. "Take me off the blacklist quickly. I can't take your money."
Qin Song folded his arms and looked straight ahead. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No. Just keep the money and don't think about giving it back to me. I'm your sister-in-law, and it's my duty to support you in finding a job."
"If you feel bad about accepting it, just remember this debt. When your nephew or niece is born, you can return it to them."
"I..." Pei Lingxuan was choked by these words and instantly had no reason to refuse.
"...Keep it." After a few seconds, Pei Xingzhi suddenly spoke.
