Chapter 135 Life Should Not Be Settled For (Yuan Pei)
However, Xiaoyuan's answer stunned Shen Zhaoyi.

“I was fired.”

The girl's voice was calm, even with a hint of relief.

She didn't quite understand.

Most people try to embellish the ending of their previous job during interviews, so this was the first time Shen Zhaoyi had ever seen such a frank answer.

"Why?" she asked, genuinely curious.

Xiaoyuan, on the other end of the phone, took a deep breath, her originally calm tone gradually turning angry and aggrieved: "Because of my ex-boyfriend..."

The young couple had already met each other's parents and were planning to get married at the end of the year.

The other person also works in sales, although not in the automotive industry, but has a lot of social engagements and often doesn't get home until midnight.

“At first I understood, after all, the nature of his work is special…” Xiaoyuan choked up a little, “but for a while, I could always smell different perfumes on his clothes.”

Shen Zhaoyi listened quietly without interrupting.

“Every time I asked, they said that the client had hired a hostess, and he was passively infected in the same environment.”

Xiao Yuan gave a bitter smile: "I believed him, and even let him coax me back time and time again."

Until three weeks ago—

The man came home drunk again. While cleaning him up, I noticed an ambiguous text message popping up on his phone screen, which had just been charged.

"When I tried to unlock it to check, I discovered that he had already changed the password."

When asked what happened, he became impatient and eventually avoided answering.

"Even after he sobered up the next day, he was still speaking incoherently."

Too much disappointment had accumulated until now, and finally Xiaoyuan proposed breaking up.

However, the man did not agree because his parents had already informed their relatives and friends of the marriage.

Finally, they became relentless in their pursuit, even going so far as to cause a scene at the car dealership.

Shen Zhaoyi was furious. "Did you call the police?"

“I reported it.” Xiaoyuan said, her voice full of helplessness. “He was released after mediation, but the next day he became even more outrageous. He came to the store as a customer to spread rumors, deliberately ruining my order, and even slandering the car dealership in front of other customers…”

There was really nothing that could be done when dealing with such a shameless rogue. In the end, the car dealership owner paid her three months' basic salary as a polite way of asking her to leave.

After hearing the whole farce, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly asked, "And now? Is he still bothering you?"

"There are still some, but I changed my contact information and moved to a friend's house temporarily, so it's much quieter now."

She paused for a moment, then said she had figured it out.

You can find another job, but you can't settle for less in life.

These words struck a chord with Shen Zhaoyi.

But she still warned Xiaoyuan that if she encountered something like this again, which was foreshadowed early on, she should not have any illusions.

"Giving one man ten chances is not as good as giving ten men one chance."

"what?"

Xiao Yuan's question contained 99% disbelief.

Sister Shen truly lives up to her reputation!
She's enlightened!
Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhaoyi asked, "How soon can I start working?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyuan's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "I got the job?!"

"if not."

"Are you kidding me, just looking for fun?"

Xiao Yuan felt it was rather hasty, deciding on a spot with just one phone call.

Could it be that they felt compassion because they sympathized with their own plight...?

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard Shen Zhaoyi say, "I'm really short-staffed here. I'll hire as many as I can in a short time. Don't worry, I'll pay you double the market rate initially, but I have a condition—"

"I just took over this team, and I don't have time to wait for you for three months. I need to arrange a driver for the next race, so you need to get up to speed as soon as possible. Can you handle it?"

These words banished Xiaoyuan's unreliable idea.

She agreed immediately.

"Row!"

"Since Sister Shen trusts me so much, I will definitely put in my best effort!"

"I'll pack my bags tomorrow. Give me your address, and I'll look at some rentals nearby!"

Shen Zhaoyi said no need, the convoy would cover the accommodations.

"Huh?" Xiaoyuan was taken aback by this treatment. It wasn't until she heard that the convoy was in S City that she began to waver.

When he spoke again, his tone became noticeably more cautious.

"Sister Shen, I thought we were in the local area..."

"What?" Sensing the change in her attitude, Shen Zhaoyi asked directly, "Are you afraid I'll lie to you?"

"kind of."

Xiao Yuan said awkwardly, "After all, there are too many traps that lure people with high salaries these days."

“That’s true,” Shen Zhaoyi said, expressing her understanding.

Then he came up with a perfect solution.

That means going to City C to sign the contract in person.

"If you can rest assured, I will be at ease too."

"How embarrassing!"

"Time waits for no one, little sister." Shen Zhaoyi also happened to want to go back to City C, and if she could find an assistant along the way, it wouldn't be a bad deal.

Xiao Yuan seemed relieved. "Okay, Sister Shen, let me know when you arrive tomorrow, and I'll pick you up."

"Need not."

Shen Zhaoyi was still a little scared after Jiang Ye's performance, so she quickly refused.

They just said they had other things to do and would contact me later.

The voice call was disconnected.

Pei Yan was also informed about the successful recruitment.

【So fast? 】

You didn't just send someone to fool me, did you?

Pei Yan was already overwhelmed with work, and he really couldn't stand his boss randomly sending someone else to cause more trouble.

I'm not that irresponsible.

Shen Zhaoyi's choice of Xiaoyuan was also based on her own considerations. Besides being relatively suitable in all aspects, only Xiaoyuan, whose personality was similar to her own, could tolerate Pei Yan.

If it were anyone else, they'd be filing lawsuits every few days; she wouldn't have time to deal with cases every single day.

I told him I was planning to return to City C tomorrow, and asked him to draft the contract, stamp it, and send it over later. I need to reassure him.

Pei Yan was skeptical when he saw that she was serious.

Where did you find this person? Are they reliable?

He was relieved to learn that he knew her from the car dealership.

It's alright, it's usable enough.

As long as one isn't a complete novice, it's better than the current mess.

Just as I was about to reply, Shen Zhaoyi sent another message: [By the way, when you have time, look at houses near the convoy. If you find a suitable one, just buy it. I'll pay for it.]

Pei Yan suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"

[Won't people need a place to stay when they arrive?]

Pei Yan only said that the team had dormitories.

He now feels a bit scared when he sees Shen Zhaoyi spending money.

But the proposal was rejected by the other party.

[It's not suitable for a young girl to live in a house full of grown men.]

Pei Yan stared at the words "little girl," pressed the voice button, and said with a tone full of resistance, "What? You found a woman to be the team manager?"

"What, does your line of work have gender rules?"

Shen Zhaoyi also sent a voice message, her voice very calm.

But Pei Yan detected a hint of threat in it.

His survival instincts compelled him to quickly explain, "No, that's not true."

"It's just that very few women have experience in this industry, and I'm worried about whether she can handle it."

"Is it possible? There's no one here right now, is there?" Shen Zhaoyi shut him down with her words. "Try it first, and we'll think of something else if it doesn't work."

Pei Yan's thoughts began to waver...
