Chapter 161 The Woman Who Has Difficulty Walking

Gu Min opened her mouth, not knowing what to do in this situation. Looking at the somewhat restrictive floral dress, she quickly asked her to change it, "You, you change your clothes first, I'll go ask the teacher."

After saying that, Gu Min turned around and walked towards Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan was looking at other people's clothes. Seeing Gu Min coming over in a hurry, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Gu Min leaned close to his ear and told him in a low voice what the woman was worried about.

Lin Jianyan raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the woman following behind him. He nodded to Gu Min, "Okay, I understand. I'll leave this to you. I'll go talk to her."

Gu Min nodded and took the notebook from him.

Lin Jianyan walked towards the woman with steady steps. When the woman saw Lin Jianyan walking towards her, she became more nervous, her hands unconsciously protected her stomach, and she lowered her head even lower.

Lin Jianyan stood in front of her and said as gently as possible, "Don't be nervous. Can you talk to me?"

Seeing the woman nodded, Lin Jianyan led her into the office. He asked the woman to sit on the sofa opposite and poured her a cup of tea. After pouring it, he realized that it seemed that it was not suitable for pregnant women to drink tea, so he changed her cup and poured her a cup of warm water.

The woman took it with great trepidation. After she calmed down a bit, Lin Jianyan asked softly, "What's your name, Madam? How many months is the baby?"

The woman lowered her head and whispered, "My name is Chen Xiaohui, and my baby is almost three months old."

Lin Jianyan nodded and asked, "Why don't you stay at home and rest since you are pregnant?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that pregnancy is a little special. I want to understand why you are applying for this job at this time."

Chen Xiaohui rubbed her belly and slowly said, "My husband was caught in a gang fight two months ago and died accidentally. The gang paid some compensation but we didn't pursue the matter because we can't pursue this kind of thing at all."

Lin Jianyan was stunned for a moment and did not speak. Then she heard Chen Xiaohui continue, "It costs a lot of money to raise a child. My parents-in-law are too old to do heavy work. The whole family is relying on the compensation money to survive, but that little money will not last long. I don't want the child to live a hard life with us after he is born."

"I don't know anything else. The only thing I can show off is my skill in making clothes. I know you don't want a pregnant woman. I don't mean to deceive you." As she spoke, Chen Xiaohui's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She held the water cup tightly, as if she was grasping the last glimmer of hope.

"My third aunt is a very nice person. She doesn't know I'm pregnant. She just wants to help me. Boss, please don't blame her."

Lin Jianyan felt a little heavy-hearted. He could sense the despair and helplessness in Chen Xiaohui's words. He soothed her, "Don't get excited. I understand your difficulties. I won't make things difficult for Third Aunt."

"But we make clothes for upper-class ladies, and the schedule is quite tight. If something unexpected happens to you..."

Lin Jianyan had to consider so much, and she was very pitiful, but he couldn't ruin his reputation by mistake just because she was on a business trip alone.

Chen Xiaohui quickly said, "Boss, I'm still in good health, and I can make clothes just as fast as others. I can work overtime. As long as I can make more money, I'm willing to do anything."

Lin Jianyan sighed and shook her head. "I think Third Aunt should have explained to you that you are a new team and there is no guarantee whether you can make money or not."

"I know. Third Aunt explained it to me." Her eyes were full of determination and eagerness, and her hand unconsciously touched her slightly bulging belly again.

"I am not a short-sighted person. I don't care about the temporary financial difficulties. People say that Boss Lin is a kind-hearted man who is the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. I believe in Boss Lin, and I believe in his disciples even more."

Lin Jianyan was silent for a long time, then he spoke slowly: "Then I'll give you a chance. But let me be frank. If any client is dissatisfied with your situation or the progress of their work is affected, I will have to let you go."

Chen Xiaohui raised her head in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief, but soon she reacted and tears welled up in her eyes. She said gratefully, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Seeing her, a pregnant woman, standing up and bending towards him, Lin Jianyan dodged to the side, "Okay, take care of yourself. Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup? When is the due date?"

Chen Xiaohui wiped her tears and said, "I checked it out. The doctor said that the baby will be full-term after December. Then I will go to the hospital to wait for delivery."

Lin Jianyan nodded: "I understand. I will not arrange any more work for you in December. You need to go home and recuperate at that time. After the baby is born, you can come back to work after you have rested well."

Chen Xiaohui was filled with gratitude. She understood that Lin Jianyan was showing her the greatest understanding and giving her a rare guarantee. In this difficult time, such kindness was like a ray of light in the darkness.

Lin Jianyan nodded helplessly and let her go. Looking at the woman's back as she left, he sighed deeply. He really had too much kindness to show for it. No wonder Qin Wu always called him a little bodhisattva behind his back.

If this is a metaphysical world, then his merits might be enough to blind people's eyes, and he might even ascend to heaven after his death?

Lin Jianyan was amused by his own idea.

In fact, he had his own considerations for accepting Chen Xiaohui. Half of the girls in the studio are young girls who have not yet married and have children. If nothing unexpected happens, they will follow him for a long time.

Accepting Chen Xiaohui will undoubtedly send a signal to employees: he is a kind-hearted boss who cares about his employees and will not ignore them or turn them away even in special circumstances.

This will greatly help improve employee loyalty and sense of belonging, and can also create a good reputation and image for the studio.

Although there may be some risks and inconveniences at present, as long as you control it properly, you may reap unexpected rewards.

If he couldn't accept women getting pregnant and having children, it would have been better for him to just hire a group of men when he built the studio. In that case, he wouldn't have to deal with the current tangled and difficult situation. He wouldn't have to worry about employees' work progress being affected by pregnancy or something like that, and he wouldn't have to make the difficult decision between personal relationships and business.

He cannot do something like picking up the bowl to eat and then putting it down to curse his mother. The media is not well developed yet, and when the Internet gradually develops, if such things are exposed, he will be doomed.

It is always better to do good to others than to do evil to them. Besides, Chen Xiaohui's craftsmanship is really good and her aesthetic taste is also online. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have passed the interview 100%.
