Chapter 962: Grudges



"You go in too!" Zhou Yuanyuan stood there without moving, but her voice clearly reached Tian Fangfang's ears.

Tian Fangfang didn't notice this detail. After hearing Zhou Yuanyuan's words, she hurriedly trotted and followed Ma Yulian into the reception room.

"Ma Yulian and Ma Xiaoxiao, you two made a lot of noise in the store and affected Yunyun's image. After this is over, each of you will have to write a 500-word self-criticism and be fined 50 yuan. If you do it again next time, you will be fired directly!" Zhou Yuanyuan walked to the door of the reception room where Ma Yulian and the others were, clasped her hands over her chest, and said coldly.

Yunyun's monthly salary as a salesperson was only around 300 yuan, and Zhou Yuanyuan fined her five days' wages without asking for anything. This punishment was neither light nor severe. Of course, this salary was relative to Ma Xiaoxiao's. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know what treatment Zhao Yunxiang gave Ma Yulian, but she expected it to be no less than Ma Xiaoxiao's.

Ma Yulian wanted to object, but after seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's cold gaze, she swallowed her words back.

How come this Miss Yuanyuan is completely different from what Yunxiang described? Yunxiang described Zhou Yuanyuan as a sweet, adorable, and non-tempered girl. Is my perception wrong? Or is Yunxiang just talking nonsense?

Ma Xiaoxiao was different from Ma Yulian. Although she had only been working at the Yunyun flagship store for two weeks, she had already met Zhou Yuanyuan two or three times. She felt that Zhou Yuanyuan's aura was much stronger than that of the store manager, Wu Yushan. Whenever Zhou Yuanyuan glared at her, Ma Xiaoxiao felt a pang of fear.

After hearing Zhou Yuanyuan explain the outcome of the handling, Ma Xiaoxiao responded with a "yes" and did not dare to say anything else.

Although Ma Xiaoxiao did not take this job for the monthly salary of a few hundred yuan, she had not yet obtained what she wanted, and she did not want to fail and be kicked out of the Yunyun flagship store.

"You two should talk nicely here and stop using force. Otherwise, I will break the hands of anyone who uses force, and the feet of anyone who uses feet. Do you understand?" Zhou Yuanyuan said this coldly, and then signaled Wu Yushan to leave with her.

If it weren't for the purpose of finding out Ma Yulian's purpose in appearing next to Zhao Yunxiang, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't have given Ma Yulian so much face today. Zhou Yuanyuan was really curious about her mother's vision and why she was so nice to Ma Yulian.

In the reception room, Ma Yulian and the other three were frightened by Zhou Yuanyuan's domineering declaration and shrank their necks. For a while, none of them dared to say a word.

Zhou Yuanyuan released a hint of murderous intent when she said this, which made Ma Yulian and the others believe her words without a doubt. Tian Fangfang had always been timid, and even if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't specifically targeted her, Tian Fangfang would not dare to argue with Ma Xiaoxiao.

After Zhou Yuanyuan left, Ma Xiaoxiao looked at the gray hair on Ma Yulian's temples and suddenly felt a little bored.

In the past two years, Ma Xiaoxiao's heart has been filled with hatred towards the Tian family. If it were not for revenge on her uncle and cousin, Ma Xiaoxiao would not have chosen to work at Regent, leading to her current situation.

What's even more ridiculous is that she's seeking revenge against her aunt's family, yet her aunt doesn't even know why. Ma Xiaoxiao once dreamed of one day trampling the Tian family father and son under her feet and slamming the truth in Ma Yulian's face. But now, Ma Xiaoxiao feels that everything she's done is meaningless. She hasn't even seen the effects of her revenge, yet she's already lost so much. If she doesn't get the antidote, isn't her life already counting down?

"Xiaoxiao, tell me, what do you want to do? Over the years, your aunt has believed that she has been sincere to you, so how come you have no conscience?" Ma Yulian didn't dare to speak loudly, so she had to lower her voice and talk to Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Aunt, honestly, I don't owe you anything. As for why I became like this, it's better if you don't know. Anyway, it's over and I moved out of home. It was my fault for pretending to be your cousin and going to work at Regent. But I hated you so much at that time." Ma Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly as she thought of the bad things that had happened.

Ma Xiaoxiao had previously envisioned that once she became famous, she would not let any of the Tian family members go. However, looking at her timid cousin Tian Fangfang and her aunt Ma Yulian, who looked incredulous, she felt unable to speak any harsh words she had in mind.

After all, the two Tian family members who hurt her were not the ones in front of her, so at least her cousin was innocent.

"No matter what the reason, you can't do anything that's detrimental to your cousin! Xiaoxiao, I didn't force you to work at Regent. Jian'an just said that the hostesses at Regent were very profitable, but you insisted on going. I was against it at the time." Ma Yulian thought of the first argument she had with Ma Xiaoxiao six months ago, and her heart ached. Because of Ma Xiaoxiao, the Tian family had been in turmoil during that time, and every time Ma Yulian recalled those days, she felt sad.

Ma Yulian's family lived in the suburbs, so marrying Tian Dacheng, a city dweller, was considered "marrying up." Therefore, although Ma Yulian had a fiery temper, that was only to outsiders. In the Tian family, everything was decided by Tian Dacheng, and Ma Yulian had no status in the family. This situation did not improve until Ma Yulian's mother-in-law passed away three years ago.

However, no matter how resolute Ma Yulian was, she couldn't stand up straight. Who had prevented her from having a city hukou? Without one, she couldn't hold a formal job. Regardless of where she worked, as a temporary worker, she did twice as much as a regular employee, yet earned half the salary.

After Ma Xiaoxiao's parents were in a car accident, the driver disappeared without a trace. The Ma family's savings were all used up on the funeral. Ma Yulian was a little worried about Ma Xiaoxiao, a young girl living alone.

Uncle Tian's father-in-law Tian Dacheng has always been a stingy person. How could he be willing to accept Ma Xiaoxiao, a girl who is almost sixteen years old, to come to his house and eat and drink for free?

After Ma Xiaoxiao's parents died, the steel mill where they worked gave Ma Yulian two worker quotas, with a validity period of only three months, to appease the family.

Ma Xiaoxiao was still underage, so the steel mill wouldn't hire her. Tian Dacheng wanted to go, but his previous factory wasn't performing well, and he hadn't wanted to work there for a long time. Although the steel mill was located in the suburbs of Beijing, it was well-known for its good wages and benefits.

Ma Yulian didn't want to abandon Ma Xiaoxiao, so she had to let Tian Dacheng and his son Tian Jianan use the two factory job openings that Ma Xiaoxiao's parents had risked their lives to get. As for Ma Yulian herself, she didn't have the nerve to use the factory job openings that her brother and sister-in-law had risked their lives to get.
