Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 146 I want to reassure you
Wu Fei was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't believe that he was fired like this.

Didn’t I just take a few more days off? Why was I fired for no reason?

She felt a little melancholy. You know, in the United States, the law on layoff compensation is quite strict. No matter how long the employee has worked for her, she can only get two months' salary at most.

The United States believes in equal employment relations and emphasizes equality between companies and employees. Employees can resign at any time, and companies can fire employees at any time.

This is also why Su Mingzhe said that unemployment is a normal situation in the United States.

Before, Lin Yuan asked her what to do with her job in the United States since she was stranded in Suzhou. She just replied that she would take it one step at a time, but she really didn't expect that the company would actually fire her.

Wu Fei looked at the various items in the old house and suddenly felt bored. He even lost the mood to clean up.

She had no idea whether she could find a suitable job in a short period of time.

Xiao Mi seemed to notice her mother's low mood and ran over quickly, throwing herself on her lap affectionately. Wu Fei subconsciously touched Xiao Mi's head and just sat there quietly.

I don’t know how long it was, but the phone suddenly rang. It was Su Mingzhe calling.

"Hello, wife, what are you doing?" Su Mingzhe's voice came from the receiver.

"I'm packing my luggage at the old house." Wu Fei's voice was a little tired.

"It's like this, my dad called me and wanted me to go back to deal with Mingcheng's matter. How about I take a leave and rush back now?"

"You are not allowed to come back!" Wu Fei refused immediately without even thinking.

Su Mingzhe has only been working there for a few days, but he is already in a hurry to ask for leave. What will the company think?
This job was hard-earned, and now he is unemployed. If something happens to Su Mingzhe's job again, how will their family live in the future?

Wu Fei knew clearly that the Su family's affairs were like a tangled mess, with one thing following another and there was no way to deal with them all.

"Parents should take care of their children's affairs. How can your father push this matter onto you? Besides, how are you going to persuade Mingyu now that you are back? Persuade Mingyu to show mercy and let Su Mingcheng go? When you see Mingyu covered in wounds, how can you, as the eldest brother, say such a thing?"

Su Mingzhe sighed, "What can I do? Mingyu has already sued Mingcheng, and Mingcheng will most likely go to jail."

"I don't want to hear your reasons. Anyway, I'm telling you, don't come back and get involved in this mess. Once I've dealt with the things at hand, I'll have to leave as soon as possible."

Su Mingzhe frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't you go and ask Mingyu for mercy?"

"Su Mingzhe, do you still have a conscience? If you don't want Mingyu to hate me, don't force me to do this kind of thing. Because of the relocation of the old house, I took Xiao Mi with me. I haven't slept much since last night. When I'm hungry, I eat bread with Xiao Mi. We have to look at second-hand houses tomorrow. Dad has already picked one, but as the ones paying, we have to compare a few. One thing after another, am I a superman? I don't have the time to worry about your Su family. Isn't it good for me to go back to the United States and continue working?"

Wu Fei poured out all the grievances and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Su Mingzhe quickly comforted him, "Yes, yes, Feifei, I know you've worked hard, and I shouldn't cause you any more trouble, but we can't just watch Mingcheng go to jail, right? Wouldn't our entire Su family fall apart? So, go and persuade Dad to take charge of the situation."

"I understand." Wu Fei sighed and hung up the phone in disappointment.

In the end, she still didn't tell Su Mingzhe that she was unemployed.

Firstly, it was indeed difficult to talk about it, and secondly, she knew that once she told this, Su Mingzhe would certainly let her participate in handling the Su family's affairs as a matter of course.

She didn't want to care about Su Mingcheng. If she was beaten like that, she would never forgive Su Mingcheng.

At around seven in the evening, Wu Fei arranged for a truck to pack a batch of items from the old house into packages and put them in Mingyu's garage.

Su Daqiang waited at Mingyu's house until after eight o'clock before he slowly walked into the house.

Wu Fei went up to him and asked, "Dad, where have you been?"

Su Daqiang pouted, patted his stomach and said, "No one cares about me. I have to go out to eat."

Wu Fei felt amused in his heart, as if he was feeling so wronged that he didn't care about his children's affairs and instead complained that no one was taking care of them.

But she was well-mannered, and these thoughts just flashed through her mind. She kept a polite expression on her face and said, "Dad, Mingzhe asked me to tell you that he wants to discuss something with you."

Su Daqiang looked helpless: "It's about them again, right? With Mingyu's temper, can she listen to me?"

"Mingyu is your daughter, how can you ask me this?"

"Fei Fei, you're always abroad, you don't understand family matters. When your mother was alive, she took care of all family matters. Didn't Mingzhe call a meeting last time and said that he would be in charge of family matters from now on? I think we should let Mingzhe take care of this matter."

"Mingzhe is working overtime and can't come back. He asked me to come to you to tell you that Mingyu has sued Mingcheng. If Mingcheng is convicted of assault, he will have to go to jail. If Mingcheng goes to jail, then his family with Zhu Li may be over."

Wu Fei patiently explained to Su Daqiang the seriousness of the matter in detail.

Su Daqiang still evaded the question, "Mingyu doesn't listen to me, so you can ask Mingzhe to take a leave and come back."

Wu Fei wanted to persuade him again: "Dad, only you can take care of this matter."

"He manages better than I do."

Wu Fei was completely at a loss now. After a while, she slowly said, "Dad, I have said everything I need to say about this matter. As for whether you want to go or not, it's up to you to decide."

After saying that, Wu Fei took Xiao Mi's hand and turned back to his room.

"You need to hurry up with the house matter!"

Su Daqiang's urging voice sounded behind him.

When Wu Fei heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

Since Su Daqiang doesn't care about the Su family's affairs, she, as a daughter-in-law, will naturally not interfere too much.

Su Daqiang looked at Wu Fei's back and muttered again: "Isn't it just a fight between two kids? Is it that serious?"

Back in the room, Wu Fei lay on the bed, his mind in a mess, filled with anxiety caused by his unemployment.

If she couldn't find a job, she would have to live a frugal life, and she would have no confidence speaking in front of Su Mingzhe in the future.

She suddenly remembered what Lin Yuan said that day. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone and called Lin Yuan.

"Hello, this is Wu Fei, Lin Yuan, have you heard about Mingyu's situation?" Wu Fei asked as soon as the phone was connected.

"I heard that Su Mingcheng is really a piece of shit."

This was the first time she had heard such blunt comments from Mingyu's family and friends in the past few days, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.

Wu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "You told me last time that the people and things in the Su family are very complicated. Although I expected it, I didn't expect it to get to this point."

"With the situation developing to this point, not a single snowflake in the Su family is innocent."

After all, this involves her father-in-law and husband. Although Wu Fei agrees with this in her heart, she can't respond directly. She can only cough lightly and change the subject: "That job you mentioned last time? I want to talk to you about it."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan's voice was full of surprise. "Sister-in-law, are you planning to change jobs?"

Wu Fei did not tell anyone that he was fired.
Wu Fei didn't want to mention that he was fired, so he replied vaguely, "I think what you said last time makes sense. I want to learn more about it."

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Hmm..."

Wu Fei's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Did something unexpected happen?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the position of assistant involves a lot of things. In addition to daily work, it also includes accompanying me to social events, trying on new clothes, etc. You have to be mentally prepared for these. Sister-in-law, you have lived in the United States for many years, are fluent in English, and understand American culture. My brand has a lot of business dealings with the United States, and maybe there will be a chance to transfer you back to the United States to work in the future. However, this job is not easy."

"I understand this, it's about salary..." Wu Fei stated the issue that concerned him most.

"I'm out of town right now. I'll have the company's HR come to you tomorrow to discuss your salary. If you're willing, please confirm it as soon as possible. I won't leave this position vacant forever."

"Okay." Wu Fei responded.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Fei was still a little dazed.

No wonder Lin Yuan thought so highly of himself, it turned out that he wanted to expand into the American market. But as a newly established brand, wasn't the step too big a step?

Wu Fei shook his head again and stopped worrying about it.

The next day, Xu Ruyun, the HR person from Lin Yuan Company, contacted Wu Fei and came to the Su family's old house.

Wu Fei was packing up. The remaining items in the old house should be moved out within the next two days.

"Hello, are you Ms. Wu Fei?"

"It's me, you are..."

Valen Hsu smiled and explained, "I'm the HR of Queen Company. Mr. Lin should have contacted you last night."

"Oh, yes." Wu Fei chuckled and nodded.

The two sat down on the sofa in the old house. Fortunately, the sofa and coffee table had not been moved away, otherwise there would be no place to sit and talk.

"Here are three contracts. Which one do you think is suitable?" said Valen Hsu, handing over the documents.

Wu Fei took the contract and glanced through it. The only two differences between the three contracts were the length of service and salary.

The contract is for one year, with an annual salary of $300,000.

The contract is for three years, with an annual salary of $400,000, increasing by 8% each year.

The contract is five years, with an annual salary of $600,000, increasing by 10% each year.

Even the shortest one-year contract would have paid more than her annual salary in the United States, not to mention that it did not include other benefits.

However, the contract also clearly stipulates that if the employee does not work until the end of the contract, a certain amount of compensation must be paid.

As if seeing Wu Fei's confusion, Valen Hsu explained to her, "We are a team seeking stability. We don't want employees to frequently join or leave. In fact, this one-year contract was specially arranged for you by General Manager Lin. Our company's senior management all have contracts of more than five years, and some even signed for ten years."

Although Valen Hsu didn't understand why the boss spent so much money to hire this assistant, as all the people who signed such contracts in the company were well-known business people in the industry, it was not her turn to take care of these matters.

"Ten years?" Wu Fei was a little surprised.

"I saw the company's development prospects and Mr. Lin's strong financial resources. Don't you know Mr. Lin's wealth?"

Wu Fei smiled lightly and didn't say anything. How would she know Lin Yuan's wealth?

She was a little conflicted at this time. Although the five-year contract was the most cost-effective, Xiao Mi said that she would grow up and would soon be old enough to go to school. If Xiao Mi returned to the United States to study, who would take care of her when she and Su Mingzhe were both in China?

Wu Fei thought for a moment and asked, "What should I do if the contract expires?"

"At that time, a new contract will be drawn up for you based on your performance during your work."

Wu Fei thought about it carefully and decided to choose the one-year contract and signed his name on it.

"Ms. Wu, welcome to join our company."

After the contract was signed, Valen Hsu immediately called Lin Yuan to report Wu Fei's successful employment.

On the other side, Zhu Li came to Mingyu's house again and asked Su Daqiang to intercede.

It’s not that she still cares about Su Mingcheng, but she feels a little guilty, so she wants to help him one last time.

Zhu Li forced Su Daqiang to come forward by severing the father-son relationship.

Su Daqiang came to the hospital to visit Mingyu. Mingyu was very moved by his initial words, but later he advised her to let Su Mingcheng go, which made Mingyu very angry. She slapped the fruit that Su Daqiang sent her.

Su Mingyu's anger frightened Su Daqiang so much that he trembled. He thought to himself that not only did he fail to rescue Mingcheng this time, but he also offended Mingyu.

After returning to Mingyu's home, he prepared to pack up his things and wait to move into the new house, so as to avoid Mingyu causing trouble for him after he was discharged from the hospital.

At this time, Wu Fei, who had just packed up the old house after a busy day, came back. When Su Daqiang saw her, he asked, "How is the house going? Mingyu has been offended. She will definitely blame me when she comes out. I can't stay here any longer. Feifei, you have to hurry up with the house."

"Dad, I've been busy moving the old house all day. You know how many things there are in the old house. I don't have time to go and look at houses."

Su Daqiang said impatiently: "If it were you, I'd stop jumping around and comparing prices. Just pick one at random."

Wu Fei patiently explained: "Dad, buying a house is a psychological warfare. If you make the other party feel anxious, they will raise the price."

Su Daqiang didn't care: "Raise the price if you want, I can move out and live alone if I buy it."

"Dad, no matter what Mingyu does, she won't chase you away. Why do you have to worry? Mingyu got angry at you for a reason. Please be considerate of her."

"Who can understand her and me? I think buying a house is not something you can do on your own. So, call Mingzhe and ask him to come back and do it as soon as possible."

Wu Fei looked embarrassed: "Mingzhe has been very busy recently. He just joined a new company. How can he come back just like that?"

Su Daqiang complained and said sternly, "What should I do? One of my two sons is in prison, and the other is hiding and won't come back. Should I, an old widower, live on the streets?"

After hearing this, Wu Fei frowned slightly, stopped talking, turned around and silently returned to his room.

She had already decided that when Lin Yuan returned to Suzhou, she would move into the residence arranged by Lin Yuan. Staying with Su Daqiang for one more day would be a living torture.

Two days later.

Lin Yuan finally returned to China.

Wu Fei's affairs were handled exceptionally smoothly, which surprised him.

Although it was only a one-year contract, it was enough for him to achieve his set goals.

In fact, even if Wu Fei did not join his company this time, he should have returned to China.

Lin Yuan had just returned home to rest for a while when Zhu Li hurried over.

Zhu Li looked at Lin Yuan with a pleading look on her face and said, "If he is released sooner, I can divorce him sooner."

Lin Yuan responded calmly: "Divorce procedures can also be processed in prison."

Zhu Li lowered her head slightly, her tone carrying a hint of guilt: "But, in the final analysis, I was the one who let him down first."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said calmly, "Let's put it this way. He hurt Mingyu so badly. Didn't he think about the consequences? As an adult, he should be responsible for his own actions."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was unmoved, Zhu Li bit her lip, and began to take off her clothes in front of Lin Yuan and moved closer to him.

In an instant, the spring scenery appeared before my eyes.

Seeing the snow-white body in front of him, Lin Yuan's face turned cold.

"Put it on." Lin Yuan's voice was low and cold.

Zhu Li was stunned. She had never seen Lin Yuan look so cold before. She was at a loss for a moment.

"I said put it on."

Julie then came to her senses, grabbed the coat beside her and wrapped herself in it.

"Are you devoting yourself to me for another man?"

Zhu Li quickly shook her head, stepped forward to hug Lin Yuan, and explained: "No, I just want to tell you that I am yours at all times. I...I want you to rest assured."
