My Terrible Life in Those Years

I can tolerate being made a temporary worker, having to pay for her shoes, and being made a sales assistant—all things that women are good at. But I absolutely cannot tolerate having to take back the money I've already earned!

I immediately snapped: "I can't do it!"

Aunt Shu was completely taken aback by my reaction: "What did you say? Say it again?"

I raised my voice a little and said, word by word, "I can't do it! Do you hear me?"

His eyes were fixed on her.

This time, she heard it clearly, and her whole body suddenly trembled, the collar of her shirt visibly shaking.

Why get so worked up? It's just that I can't pay back the two thousand yuan bonus I've already spent. Is it really worth it?

Her face turned completely cold: "Why can't you do it??"

I sneered, "Manager Shu, I've already spent most of the two thousand yuan bonus I advanced. You should know better than anyone how it was spent. What? Do you expect me to take it out of your wallet and give it back to the company?"

Her expression began to change, slowly warming from its previous icy tone, and finally she smiled.

"Did I say something wrong? Is it really that funny?"

She looked at me curiously: "Did you think I meant you should return that 10,000 yuan bonus to the company? Did you think I meant that that 10,000 yuan was money you shouldn't have taken?"

I said irritably, "I've only been here two days, and this is the only bonus I've received from you. What other bonus could I possibly have?"

She never expected me to think or say that, and suddenly buried her face in her hands, her shoulders visibly trembling.

I got even angrier.

Seeing that I had just paid off a debt, they came up with this way to mess with me again?

Fine, go ahead and do it. Just say it outright. Why are you making fun of me like this?

I kept a straight face and didn't say anything, just watched her laugh.

Her shoulders were trembling and she was pressing her face against her hands. From my height and line of sight, I could just peek inside her neckline, which was shaking and slightly open.

This time, I wasn't embarrassed or polite at all.

What? Are you messing with me, abusing your power for personal gain? Well, I'll take advantage of you by getting a little bit of eye contact, that'll be a way of getting my money's worth.

A strange thought suddenly popped into my head: I wonder what her husband looks like? Is he handsome? He married a perfect wife, capable, good at making money, with great skin, fair and delicate, and also very well-endowed. I wonder if he feels good to the touch?

I suddenly felt a little envious of her husband.

As I was lost in thought, she finished laughing and looked up.

She was about to speak when she saw my burning gaze and the direction my eyes were looking.

Her facial expressions immediately became more varied.

This person looks respectable, so why, why does he keep looking over there?

What's so interesting about it?

Aunt Shu was startled herself. How could she have thought that way?

I coughed hard and came to my senses.

"What did you say?" I thought she had spoken.

"Did you think I was asking you to return the bonus? Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back on their word?"

I was taken aback by this turn of events. What does that mean? There seems to be more to it than meets the eye. The question is, what kind of money am I not entitled to? What kind of work am I not entitled to do?

You've explained it clearly!

"Listen carefully, I'm saying, when you're working on this project, you need to be extra careful. Don't take on jobs that aren't your responsibility, and don't take money that you shouldn't take. Do you understand this time?"

Holy crap, is that what you mean?

In this project, are there any tasks I shouldn't be doing? Or any money I shouldn't be receiving?

I honestly don't really understand it.

He stared at her in utter bewilderment, as if he were looking at the goddess in his heart!

She also knew that I actually knew nothing about the industry, the job, let alone the shady dealings involved!

"In short, just follow the division of labor strictly. Do everything according to the proper procedures, and everything will be fine. This project might have some issues, so please be extra careful. If you encounter anything you don't understand, let me know immediately!"

Oh, you should have said so earlier. Now I basically understand what she means.

She must have her reasons for not taking over the project, and the fact that she specifically came to me to say these things must mean she's afraid I'll overstep my bounds, right?

"Okay, don't worry, Manager Shu. I've remembered every word you said. I won't do anything that's not my responsibility, and I won't interfere in anything that's not my concern. I'll just do my job well. Not to mention, I won't touch any money that I'm not entitled to. I was hired by you, and I won't embarrass you or bring shame to your reputation!"

This is where my reaction and comprehension skills really came into play!

Aunt Shu was clearly taken aback by my quick thinking and insightful reaction.

I finally satisfied her for once, and she waved me away.

Wu Bo was very efficient; he completed the list in less than half an hour.

With General Manager Liu absent, Aunt Shu approved it directly.

Since they are all projects of Sales Department One and are all people of Sales Department One, she couldn't possibly make any adjustments to his list.

Besides Zhou Tong, Wu Bo, and myself, eight other colleagues were selected to join the project team.

The colleagues who joined the team were all beaming with joy, as if they had won a third prize.

The colleagues who weren't selected were naturally a little down, but Wu Bo comforted them, saying that they would be next in line for such a project.

They only dared to be slightly downcast, and naturally they couldn't complain too much in front of Manager Wu, who held the power of life and death over their project. That would only make him dislike them and prevent them from getting a chance to have some benefits next time.

When the receptionist finally handed the documents to Zhou Tong and me, I was almost dumbfounded when I saw them.

This old village renovation project, this old village, is actually the Xian Village where I live??

Huacheng is such a big city, yet things happen so coincidentally.

It turns out that in response to the government's call, the outermost ring of the old village was undergoing a complete exterior renovation.

One of the renovation projects included various rooftop sculptures and sculptures on more than ten buildings near the main road.

No wonder this project costs tens of millions.

I suddenly remembered the shop of the owner of Corning. His shop is located on the south side near the road. I wonder if it will be affected?

After carefully reviewing the documents, it was found that this renovation project only involved the north and west sides. The east side is under the overpass, which is a blind spot, while the south side is close to a large area of ​​wasteland, neither of which is suitable for renovation. Therefore, this project skipped the east and south sides and focused on the northwest side.

Seeing this, I finally relaxed a little.

Where the renovation takes place isn't really my problem, but if they demolish that barbecue stand, my evening part-time job will be gone! That's thirty yuan a day!
