Chapter 31 Going to the Xu Family Mansion
At the age of twelve or thirteen, children are most annoyed by their parents. When Song Yilin sent Bai Guanqun to Xu Yijing's house, it was as if Bai Guanqun was forcing her to go.
"Can't you be a little more cheerful with that grumpy face of yours?"
"Who's so old that they still have a parent accompanying them to a classmate's house?"
Teenagers cannot be controlled, scolded, or hit.
"You're a girl, and Mommy is worried about you. Mommy promises I won't say anything out of line. I'll leave once I'm sure you're okay."
Before Song Yilin and Bai Guanqun even arrived, they saw Xu Yijing waiting at the door, along with a woman in her thirties. However, her demeanor immediately revealed her to be a teacher, and a particularly authoritative one at that.
Song Yilin has always been afraid of teachers like this since she was a child, but now she feels particularly at ease seeing this teacher.
"Auntie, you're here too?"
"Yes, it's her first time here today, so I'll see her off."
"Then come in."
Song Yilin thought she was going to walk in, but the teacher was driving a golf cart.
Xu Yijing's house was practically a manor. She knew the Xu family was rich, but she didn't expect their relatives to be so wealthy. Xu Qingmin's family was the richest in Jianghai City, so how extravagant must the Xu family be now? Luckily, she made Xu Qingmin dislike her early on.
If she were with Xu Qingmin and saw a house like this, she would probably feel inferior again.
It's good to be rich. Such a huge estate only has four buildings. How extravagant!
Following Song Yilin's gaze, Xu Yijing explained in a slightly soft voice, "The tallest building in the middle is where my brother lives, the one on the left is where my parents live, the one on the right is where my brother-in-law's family lives, and the one at the very back is where I live."
"You have quite a lot of family members." Nowadays, it's rare to see families with so many children.
Xu Yijing lives in a detached building with a dedicated study room, decorated to create a learning atmosphere. There are bookshelves on two sides that reach the ceiling. She used to think that if she had a big house, she would decorate it like that. However, now that 602 can be remodeled, she has become too lazy to read after starting work and has not bothered to do so.
Suddenly a harsh voice rang out: "Who did you bring back?"
Hearing the voice, Xu Yijing said somewhat frightenedly, "Mom, this is my classmate."
This conversation doesn't seem like that of an ordinary mother and child. Why is this child so afraid of her mother?
The person who was speaking was stunned when they came in and saw Song Yilin.
Xu Yijing calls Xu Ming "Mom," and Xu Yijing is Xu Qingmin's younger brother? Xu Ming is so old, can she still have children?
Xu Yijing is a few months older than Bai Guanqun, so was Xu Ming pregnant when she went to see her? It doesn't seem very likely.
When Xu Yijing saw his mother arrive, he immediately stood up and introduced them to each other: "This is my mother, and this is my classmate Bai Guanqun and her mother."
Song Yilin nodded to Ms. Xu, who looked Song Yilin up and down and said, "This is your daughter. She looks a lot like you. It's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been a long time. Um, Qunqun, study hard. Mom is going home now."
She had to leave quickly; if she didn't leave now, she might run into Xu Qingmin and things would get complicated.
Song Yilin really wants to call her daughter away, but she's afraid of hurting her teenage daughter's feelings.
From Ms. Xu's eyes, she could tell that Ms. Xu probably felt that she was trying to contact her son again.
After Song Yilin left, the two children chatted.
"Guanqun, do you think my parents are very old?"
"No, being older is better than not being older."
"ah?"
“My dad has been dead for many years, and I don’t have much of an impression of him. You still have your dad, so you are already very lucky.”
Bai Guanqun's words comforted Xu Yijing, who finally smiled.
Ms. Xu, who was at the door, overheard the conversation between the two children.
So her husband died; no wonder she's bothering Xu Qingmin again.
However, she can't easily do anything this time, otherwise her son might never get married. But a woman like that is really not a good match.
During a break in class, Xu Yijing went out to get something and was stopped by Mu Yunzi.
"Xu Yijing, you're so happy to have made friends?"
"Yes, Auntie."
Mu Yunzi chuckled lightly: "There are no outsiders here, why call me 'Auntie'? Or have you been calling Xu Ming's mother too much? Do you really think you're Xu Ming's son?"
Xu Yijing lowered his head and looked down: "I won't, Auntie."
"Remember whose son you are, and who your enemy is. Go back to class."
Song Yilin is like a persistent ghost; her daughter has actually become friends with Xu Yijing.
After Song Yilin returned to the company, she was called to Shao Min's office.
"Song Yilin, are you getting married?"
"No, what makes you say that?"
Shao Min simply threw a stack of photos at her.
“General Manager Yang showed it to the boss. The boss came to me to verify and asked if you were planning to get married. You should know that once the boss suspects that you are getting married, your position as general manager may be in jeopardy. Such an important position, how could the boss possibly want someone who is already married but has no children?”
What Mr. Yang gave her was for Wang Xiasheng to hire someone to follow and film her.
Gender-based attacks are consistently effective.
Bosses are always worried about how much trouble it will cause if someone in such an important position has a child.
Once a woman becomes pregnant, she shouldn't do heavy work or work overtime during the ten months of pregnancy. She should take six months of maternity leave. However, a position can't wait for someone for six months. The position of general manager requires a long period of training. If they can't find someone immediately, and then they do, what position should the person who has just returned from maternity leave be placed in? Fire her? Labor law doesn't allow that.
"I have no intention of getting married."
"If you can't turn the tide in a short time, this position will belong to Wang Xiasheng. The time for your performance review report is approaching, but as you know, the performance review report is just a formality. Before the performance review report, the boss already knows who he values."
After leaving the company, Song Yilin wandered aimlessly through the city streets. There was an eighty-year-old grandmother selling fruit.
"Honey, let's buy a mango."
"Grandma, I'll take all of these."
The old lady was so excited that her hands were shaking.
"Grandma, it's so cold, and you're so old, why are you still out selling fruit?"
The old lady began to tell her story incessantly, like Xianglin's wife.
“My son died, and my daughter-in-law doesn’t care about me anymore. She’s so unfilial. My grandson wants to take me in and raise me, but my granddaughter-in-law says that if her mother-in-law doesn’t take care of me, she won’t either. Sigh, what an unfilial descendant! What a heartless woman!”
Song Yilin couldn't empathize with this grandmother, but if she ever had trouble at work, Bai Ye's eighty-year-old grandmother would probably set up a stall in the dead of winter to ease her burden.
My mother-in-law might give up treatment, and my mother, who is almost sixty years old, will have to work as a cleaner.
Given Wang Xiasheng's smug and petty nature, if he becomes the general manager, he will definitely find a way to fire her. The general manager of a 4S store can only be someone you have trained yourself. If she changes companies, she will have to work for many years before she has a chance to compete for the position.
If she went to another store, she could at most become a sales director, but given Wang Xiasheng's personality, he wouldn't let her have an easy time during the background check, so she had no choice.
Song Yilin looked up at the sky.
It seems that she never had any choice in her life.
He resolutely walked into the hospital.
