After Xu Mo finished speaking, his heart began to pound. He was afraid that Lin Xia would cry her eyes out again, just like before.
To be fair, he does have a bit of a saintly heart; he's the kind of person who's naturally soft-hearted, and this is something that troubles him a lot.
Whenever he encountered injustice, Xu Mo would often think of hundreds of ruthless ways to deal with people.
But when he finally gets the chance to retaliate, if the other party shows any weakness, he will naturally feel sorry for them and think, "Forget it." Afterwards, he will regret being soft-hearted. This happens every time, and he never learns his lesson. Now he understands this as his nature.
He stared intently at Lin Xia, observing the changes in her expression.
Lin Xia lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She thought about what Xu Mo had said. She was indeed in the wrong, but when she thought about what her older sister Lin Wan had said, that she should wait until she found a job and settled down before starting her own business, she was really anxious to get this job.
She thought for almost a minute, then raised her head, her face showing a mix of injustice and stubbornness.
She stared directly at Xu Mo and said loudly, "If you don't give me a job, I'll demand that we make up!"
“I’ll also go out and tell your colleagues that you abused your ex-girlfriend!”
"You're abusing your power for personal gain, retaliating against me!"
"Keep your voice down! Are those things from the past something to be proud of?" Xu Mo looked flustered, wishing he could shut Lin Xia up right away. He said angrily, "What did you just say? You kept apologizing to me. You were wrong. It's only been a few minutes, and you're already trying to blackmail me. Lin Xia, you've gone too far."
Lin Xia, hands on her hips, retorted confidently, "I just want a job. It doesn't matter who does this job; it's something anyone with arms can do. Why are you making such demands? Which job seeker doesn't exaggerate their resume? Which interviewee doesn't brag? Why are you picking on me? Are you taking revenge?"
"Holy crap! You still have the nerve to talk back?" Xu Mo was speechless.
Lin Xia stubbornly insisted, "Anyway, you can handle it yourself. If you give me a job, I will complete it with high quality and quantity."
"But if you refuse to hire me, I'll keep bothering you. I know your company address now, so you'd better think it over."
Xu Mo's face flushed with anger, but he was genuinely worried that Lin Xia would go out and tell her colleagues all this. After all, she was Lin An's sister, and if she brought up the Lin family's affairs as well, things would get complicated.
Besides, Lin Xia didn't want much, just a job, and she had already passed the initial interview on her own merits.
After thinking it over, Xu Mo said in a cold voice, "I can hire you. We have a branch office, not here, but in the city. It does research and development of new energy vehicles. You can work there."
Xu Mo was thinking that he would first put Lin Xia in the branch office so that he wouldn't see her every day and it would be an eyesore. Moreover, the car business would set up factories later, and then he would put Lin Xia in the factory so that he would never see her again.
Seeing that Xu Mo had relented, Lin Xia quickly said, "Thank you, thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Xu!"
Xu Mo snorted through his nose, "Heh! That's some speed at changing his expression!"
Then she quickly asked, "So how much is my salary? What is the base for paying my social insurance and housing fund contributions?"
Xu Mo laughed in anger. After not seeing him for a few months, he had become quite down-to-earth, starting to care about social insurance and housing fund: "Salary is 5,500 yuan, social insurance is paid in full, and housing fund is paid at the maximum rate of 12%."
Lin Xia was quite satisfied with the five social insurances and one housing fund, which is something only a conscientious company could do. Some companies pay the five social insurances and one housing fund based on the minimum wage standard in order to save costs.
However, a salary of just over five thousand yuan is not very satisfactory.
Lin Xia then pleaded with a grin, "Could you give me a little more salary?"
"How much do you want?" Xu Mo's patience was almost at its limit.
Lin Xia mustered her courage and said, "Six thousand five. My rent is two thousand five, and my daily food and transportation costs two thousand. My younger sister, Lin Xi, is in college, and I need to give her at least one thousand five for living expenses. I'll also keep five hundred for emergencies, so it will cost at least six thousand five."
Xu Mo was taken aback when he heard this, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. He did not expect that Lin Xia, who used to have a princess complex, had such a plan in mind, and had calculated how to use every penny.
Lin Xia felt a little embarrassed, after all, Xu Mo didn't owe her a single penny, only she owed Xu Mo. Seeing that Xu Mo didn't speak, she added softly, "If six thousand five is too much, six thousand is fine too."
After a long silence, Xu Mo said, "I'll give you seven thousand, but you'll need to take extra responsibility for meeting minutes, and you have to promise that you absolutely won't bother me again."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia was overjoyed. It had to be her ex-boyfriend! So generous!
She quickly stood up, raised her hand, and swore, "Mr. Xu, I swear on my own lips that I will never bother you again. If I ever bother you again, may everything I eat taste bitter and rotten."
To show her sincerity, Lin Xia thanked Xu Mo profusely for a long time before leaving the vice president's office.
At this moment, Xu Mo felt a mix of emotions. Looking at Lin Xia, who was busy making a living, he had an indescribable feeling. Anyway, he was in a bad mood and lost his enthusiasm for work.
He greeted his assistant, assigned some tasks, and then left early.
Why do many leaders not feel tired at work? Because they take leave on their own when they are tired.
......
After Lin Haoran finished recording his information at the police station, he was sent to the detention center.
He looked at the simple bed in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, just a few days ago he was staying in the Lin family's big villa and sleeping on a high-end rosewood bed.
Looking back on what he had experienced during this period, it was like a nightmare for him, the greatest calamity of his life. His life's work was almost destroyed by his own son, Lin An, and his beloved youngest son was crippled. These things were hard for him to accept.
He stood under the iron bars of the window, looking at a small, elongated patch of sky, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.
Overwhelmed by the pain, Lin Haoran began to mutter to himself, cursing, "You beast! What a terrible thing! I should have gotten a tubal ligation and never had children. You damned, unfilial son! You want me dead? Why did you put me in the detention center?"
Most of his cellmates were petty thieves or brawlers; none of them were truly vicious criminals. Seeing him muttering to himself, they were all quite curious.
One of them, a tall and muscular middle-aged man who had been in jail for almost half a year and was the cell boss, walked up to Lin Haoran and asked:
"Brother, were you brought in by your own son? Tell us quickly, what happened?"
"Yes, tell us in detail."
As soon as the leader asked the question, the other prisoners in the cell gathered around.
Chinese people love gossip, and everyone was bored in prison, cut off from the outside world. Their greatest pleasure was waiting for a newcomer to come in and tell some interesting stories, so everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Lin Haoran to tell his story.
Lin Haoran was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it.
Seeing that so many people cared about him, he poured out his heart:
"Let me tell you, I used to be a prominent figure in Shanghai's business world. I lived in a villa and owned a company, but my life was miserable. I had five daughters before finally having a son, and I never imagined he would grow up to be such a beast, worse than a pig or a dog. He was utterly inhuman. He colluded with outsiders to bankrupt our family, leaving me homeless and driving me to the brink of despair. They even razed our house to the ground."
The leader frowned and said, "How could someone have such a son?"
