Chapter 115 Zhou Xiaomeng...want compensation?
Su Nian decided to put the matter of recruiting an assistant on hold for the time being - her design work had not yet reached the point where she had to hire help, so she decided not to mention this matter to Qiuyan for the time being.
It’s just that we haven’t been in touch for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now?
At the beginning of the school year, Su Nian had thought of taking some time to go back to school to take elective courses, but when she actually started working, she realized that she simply couldn't squeeze out the time - it turned out that plans couldn't keep up with changes.
She dialed Zhang Qiuyan's number, and immediately a familiar voice came from the receiver: "Niannian, are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine. How about you?"
"Oh, it's still the same." Qiuyan's tone was a little discouraged. "I'm always running between school, my part-time job, and looking for an internship. Not only am I exhausted, but I still haven't achieved anything!"
"Don't be discouraged." Su Nian quickly comforted, "There shouldn't be many students in your class who have found internships. You're working so hard, you'll definitely succeed. Don't worry, I'll also help you keep an eye out for opportunities."
"Thank you so much!" Qiuyan instantly recovered and changed the subject, "By the way, Zhou Xiaomeng...is she really interning at Chen's? I heard her storyline has been quite dramatic lately."
Goodness me, news spread faster than takeout? Su Nian was tactically vague: "Yes, but I've been working from home lately, away from the center of the storm, so I don't know her specific situation."
Su Nian was actually wondering in her heart: After being publicly scolded by the queen last time, it was hard to say whether Zhou Xiaomeng was still with Chen's.
If he is still there, then I can only say that his psychological quality is that of a fighter among interns.
"You really should work from home. You're pregnant, so it's more convenient for you to be at home." Qiuyan continued the conversation.
Li Yuan's Yuanxin Studio was mentioned again. "Last week, Li Yuan and He Qian came back to school and boasted about how much their studio had made—no promises this time, they were giving out steamed buns instead! The salary and benefits for employees are also getting closer to normal, but He Qian's supervision is a bit... lenient, like a dorm aunt catching people breaking the rules."
Because Qiuyan had to rush to class, the two hurriedly ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Su Nian had another thought in her mind: since Yuanxin Studio has made a profit, there are still two installments of compensation that Li Yuan owes her that have not been paid. They agreed to pay it off within a year. Now it seems that it is time to urge him to pay it off.
Since we are destined to make a fortune from the compensation, we must carry it through to the end! We must not be lenient.
A soft heart will make you poor for life, while debt collection will make you rich for three generations. This is to earn money for milk powder for your future baby!
As to whether Zhou Xiaomeng was still interning at Chen's, the answer came before the next day - at noon, Li Yue called.
"Su Nian, are you discharged from the hospital? When will you return to the company to work?"
"I want to go back, but the doctor told me to rest at home for a while. I'll just be doing it remotely for the time being."
"Oh, that's good. By the way," Li Yue changed the subject, her tone clearly filled with gossip, "Let me tell you, that intern Zhou Xiaomeng disappeared last week, but she's here today—what do you think she's here for?"
"What else could he be doing? He must be here to work!" Su Nian didn't even think twice. "You can't be here to demonstrate 'how to fall gracefully' at the company, right?"
"It's true that she went to work, but the point is—" Li Yue lowered her voice, "She asked the director for compensation!"
"Want compensation? On what grounds?" Su Nian thought that Zhou Xiaomeng was really bold in asking for it.
"She said she was beaten by someone at the company for no apparent reason, and she was traumatized both physically and mentally!" Li Yue continued, "I swear to God, she was beaten, but it wasn't unfair at all."
Su Nian's pupils trembled: This operation can be called the "Renaissance of the fraud world"!
These days, I don’t dare to come for internship without some plot.
"Why doesn't she just ask Vice President Zhang for compensation? He's the hero of the story, right?"
"Who says it's not? Maybe you think Vice President Zhang's hair is already bald? Why not try someone else?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Nian thought: This design department should not be called the design department, it should be called the "melon field business department", and it is like a serial drama being staged every day.
In fact, Zhou Xiaomeng really went to find Vice President Zhang - since she suffered such a big loss, she should ask the male protagonist for compensation, right?
Vice President Zhang hadn't seen Zhou Xiaomeng for a few days. Seeing her injured and crying, he immediately felt a surge of "loving buff"...
In the end, the two not only achieved great harmony in life - they got back together, but Vice President Zhang also personally taught a course: "How to Reasonably File a Farewell to the Company."
So that's it! There's a master behind me!
On the other side, Chen Ran was dealing with his mother's affairs in the south.
In fact, two weeks ago, his mother's attending physician mentioned to him that the elderly woman had lesions in her lungs and that the outcome was likely to be bad.
Perhaps the mother herself is aware of her physical condition. After all, she is only in her seventies and she is very clear about it. Perhaps because of this, she has recently started to take the "tender route" and talk about her son every day.
The old lady was stubborn all her life, but in the end she was still not as stubborn as her own son.
Because she opposed Chen Ran's choice, her son remained unmarried out of spite - in the old lady's mind, this might be her son's biggest "revenge" on her.
For the past twenty years, the mother and son have been holding their breath, and neither of them is willing to give in first. Until now, it was the mother who gave in first.
Sure enough, old ginger is spicy - but old ginger also has a softer heart.
Chen Ran sat on the bench outside the ward, the warmth of his mother's hand still lingering on his fingertips.
The old lady's hands weren't as strong as they used to be, her skinny knuckles turning blue. But as he stood up to leave, she gently clutched his sleeves, her voice as thin as the wind: "Mom knows... I can't get better."
Chen Ran's heart sank suddenly, and he didn't know how to comfort her.
But the mother waved her hand first, her eyes reddened. "The thing I've done the most wrong to you in my life is stopping you from marrying that girl. Just think of you, how lonely you must be, all by yourself?"
She coughed twice and held Chen Ran's hand tighter. "Listen to your mother and find a partner. Don't be so stubborn."
These words were like a needle, gently piercing Chen Ran's heart.
He was silent for a few seconds, letting his mother hold his hand. His voice was unusually soft, "Mom, I wasn't stubborn. I found her—Su Hong, the girl you opposed back then."
When he wanted to marry the factory worker Su Hong, his mother threatened to commit suicide, saying that the other party came from an ordinary family and was not worthy of the Chen family. He was so angry that he slammed the door and said, "If you don't agree, I will never marry you in this life!"
—— I didn’t expect that a few words spoken in anger would actually become an obsession for half my life.
So, you can’t set a flag randomly, because once you set it, it will last a lifetime.
Fortunately, God was merciful and he not only found Su Hong, but also had a biological daughter. He had no regrets in this life.
