"Sister Xiaoju, you were in the bathroom. I've been looking for you for a long time. What happened to you?"

Facing the curious gaze of his colleagues, Huang Ju tried his best to hide his inner discomfort, "It's okay, my stomach feels a little better, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh, Mr. Shen is looking for you."

"Okay, I'll go now."

After explaining the matter, Shen Mingzhu noticed that Huang Ju seemed to be not in good condition, so she casually asked with concern: "Are you still not feeling well? If not, go to the infirmary and get some medicine."

Huang Ju shook his head, turned around and prepared to go to work.

When she was about to reach the door, she couldn't help but return to Shen Mingzhu's desk.

"Boss Shen, do you also think that I am not as good as Wen Xiaoqin?"

Shen Mingzhu was not surprised. Although she held a high position, gossip in the factory would always reach her ears through various channels.

"What do you think? Do you think you are worse than Wen Xiaoqin?"

Huang Ju shook her head, "I don't think I'm worse than her, but..."

"But I chose to promote her instead of you. Can't you understand?"

Huang Ju hurriedly explained: "It's not that I can't figure it out, I just want to know where I lost. They say I'm a hopeless case, I don't know if I'm really that bad..."

After listening to Huang Ju's confession, Shen Mingzhu motioned for the other party to close the office door, and then spoke:

"What you experienced today was also encountered by Manager Shen before, but do you know how she dealt with it?"

"She did not evade, but confronted head-on, punishing the employees who violated work regulations as a manager."

Huang Ju subconsciously said: "But I'm not a manager..."

"But you are someone close to me. No one in the entire factory dares to look down on you. Even if you don't say anything, just standing in front of them is enough to shock them."

Huang Ju was speechless.

She actually thought about going out and telling those people to shut up, but in the end she couldn't muster up the courage and could only hide in the corner like a mouse.

Shen Mingzhu continued, "Huang Ju, moderation is your disadvantage, but it is also your advantage. Moderate people leave room for everything, get along with everyone, and don't easily make enemies, so you don't need to belittle yourself."

"Some people are born to be commanders, while others are born to be civilians. It's like building a house. The beams and pillars that support the structure are important, but bricks and lime are also indispensable. If the roles are reversed, the house cannot be built. Therefore, it is important to find your own position."

"As for those who cannot see your efforts and contributions, it only shows that they are stupid and ignorant."

After Shen Mingzhu's counseling, Huang Ju's depression was swept away and he became full of energy.

"Boss Shen, I understand. Thank you. I'll go to work!"

"Um."

…

In the hotel room, the drunk Shen Hongmei complained to the people at the same table about her grievances and dissatisfaction.

"I just took a day off. Why did she suspend me and couldn't wait to find someone to replace me? I think she had planned this all along!"

"Over the years, I have been loyal to her and have worked diligently without slacking off. I have contributed to the scale of the food factory today, but I have also worked hard!"

"But she turned hostile without even caring about our old friendship!"

"I know what she's thinking. I was nothing in front of her before, and she was used to being superior. Now I'm always suppressing her, and she feels uncomfortable."

"My man is more capable than her man, I'm better at stock trading than her, and I drive a better car than her!"

"She's just mad at me, she doesn't like me, and she wants to use work to control me! I might as well tell her to put it here, don't even think about it, unless she comes to me to reconcile, otherwise I will not give in to her!"

All those present were sisters who were good friends with Shen Hongmei, so naturally they all stood on Shen Hongmei's side. They all denounced Shen Mingzhu with a common hatred, saying that she was petty, making a mountain out of a molehill, and destroying bridges after crossing them, etc.

When Zhao Dafa arrived at the hotel to pick people up, Shen Hongmei was so drunk that she could not walk, and was finally helped into the car by everyone.

Under the envious gazes of several sisters, the black Cadillac drove into the bustling night.

"Hongmei is so lucky. She is the one who got married the latest among us but married the best."

"Don't say we are jealous. Shen Mingzhu is the same, trying to find ways to make things difficult for others!"

"This person is afraid of comparison."

…

"How much did you drink?"

In the bathroom, Zhao Dafa patted Shen Hongmei's back to help her calm down as she vomited on the toilet, and helped her lift her hair to avoid it getting dirty.

After vomiting, Shen Hongmei sat down on the ground, hugged Zhao Dafa's legs and cried loudly.

"Brother Zhao, I'm unemployed! Woo woo woo..."

"Mingzhu suspended my position and arranged for someone else to take over my job. She doesn't want me to go back..."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Zhao Dafa was a little surprised.

In his subconscious, Shen Mingzhu and Shen Hongmei were closer sisters than real sisters, so how could they suddenly break up? However, Shen Hongmei was drunk and crying non-stop, so he could only suppress his doubts and coax her with kind words.

"It's okay. If you really lose your job, I'll open a small company for you and you can be your own boss."

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

After getting Zhao Dafa's assurance, Shen Hongmei fell asleep in his arms with satisfaction.

Zhao Dafa carried her to the bed, helped her take off her shoes and coat, and covered her with a quilt.

After doing all this, Zhao Dafa was sweating all over. He sat on the edge of the bed to catch his breath before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, Shen Hongmei on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

She had drunk a lot, but she wasn't drunk to the point of completely losing her mind.

She brought up the matter of being suspended while drunk in order to test Zhao Dafa's position.

Because she knew that in Zhao Dafa's heart, Shen Mingzhu held a very important position.

This importance has nothing to do with love between men and women, but rather appreciation and admiration for Shen Mingzhu's abilities.

Fortunately, Zhao Dafa is a man of affection and righteousness, and he chose to stand on her side.

Shen Hongmei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

…

Morning.

Zhao Yun finished his breakfast first and went out to school, leaving only Zhao Dafa and Shen Hongmei at the dinner table.

Zhao Dafa looked at Shen Hongmei who was quietly peeling eggs. He was about to ask her about what happened last night, but Shen Hongmei took the initiative to speak first.

"Brother Zhao, there is something I have been hiding from you..."

After all, Zhao Dafa was a man who had experienced many ups and downs. When he heard that Shen Hongmei did not listen to him and sell the stocks in her hands, he did not get angry.

"So what happened to your suspension?"

Shen Hongmei confessed that she had asked for leave yesterday to go to the securities firm, and Shen Mingzhu found out.

"I admit that I was wrong in this matter, but she didn't even give me a chance to explain. She forced me to take leave, suspended me from work, and even found someone to replace me."

"I have worked in the factory for so many years. Even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. I really don't understand why she treats me like this." (End of this chapter)
