My cousin-in-law helped me achieve my ambitions.

Lin Shumei then asked with concern, "You two haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't you go and have some dinner first?"

Tian Jing quickly shook her head: "No, Manager, there's another supplier delivering goods. It's urgent, and it'll probably take another half hour to an hour to arrive. We can only have dinner after we finish receiving the goods."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shumei frowned slightly, her face showing displeasure: "That won't do. In another hour, you two will be starving. Whatever the goods are, eat dinner first, then come back to collect the goods. By the way, you don't need to clock out when you leave; overtime pay will still be calculated."

Upon hearing this, Tian Jing was even more flattered: "This...this isn't quite right, is it?"

"It's alright, just go ahead and do it." Lin Shumei said with a calm smile, showing the leadership qualities of a considerate leader.

At this opportune moment, Su Ming interjected, scratching his head and feigning distress, "Manager Lin, no way! If Team Leader Wu finds out, he'll definitely kill us. He told me personally today that we absolutely cannot go to dinner until all the goods have been received!"

Su Ming would certainly not miss the opportunity to report the evildoers.

Upon hearing the words "Team Leader Wu," Lin Shumei's face immediately darkened. She slapped her thigh, her voice filled with anger: "Is that so? Fine, I'll call him right now!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed Wu Yumin's number without hesitation. As soon as the call connected, Wu Yumin's ingratiating voice came from the other end, but Lin Shumei didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense. She directly scolded him angrily, telling him to come to the receiving warehouse office immediately.

In less than five minutes, Wu Yumin came running over excitedly.

Lin Shumei gave him a cold look and snapped, "Wu Yumin, you're the one who made them work overtime here to collect goods, not even letting them have dinner, right?"

Wu Yumin was taken aback by the question and stammered, "I...I didn't know the supplier would be so late!"

"Alright, that's enough!" Lin Shumei snorted coldly, making the decision directly. "How about this, you'll be in charge of collecting the rest of the goods. The two of them can go have dinner first!"

After saying that, Lin Shumei waved to Su Ming and Tian Jing, "Alright, you two go have dinner!"

Su Ming thought for a moment, scratched his head, and then said, "Manager, since there's a team leader here receiving the goods, why don't we just go home first?"

Lin Shumei nodded: "Okay, then you can go home. You can leave this to Wu Yumin."

"Thank you, Manager!" Su Ming and Tian Jing replied in unison, their voices full of gratitude.

Tian Jing excitedly winked at Su Ming, signaling him to make a quick getaway.

Su Ming took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back. He scratched his head, feigning a pitiful look, and looked at Wu Yumin, whose face was ashen, and whispered, "Team leader, could you... lend me twenty yuan? I just arrived and I don't have any money for dinner."

Thinking about that bastard's smug attitude when he bullied him earlier, Su Ming got angry. He decided to take this opportunity to rip him off today. He needed to get some money first!

Wu Yumin's face instantly darkened, and he spat out through gritted teeth, "What does it matter to me if you don't have money for dinner?"

Hearing this, Lin Shumei glared at her and said coldly, "Wu Yumin! How can you be so stingy? You asked me to lend you twenty yuan to a new colleague, and you're already so resentful? Fine, if you won't lend it, I will!" As she spoke, she pretended to reach for her wallet.

"No, no, no! I'll borrow it!" Wu Yumin was startled and quickly forced a smile that looked worse than crying as he pulled a shiny wallet out of his pocket.

Wu Yumin reluctantly opened his wallet, rummaged through it a few times, and a troubled look appeared on his face. Inside, besides a few hundred and fifty-yuan bills, there was only a crumpled five-yuan coin left. He hesitated, picking through the bills with his fingers, clearly unwilling to take any out.

Su Ming saw through his thoughts and said with a forced smile, "Team leader, fifty is fine too, I don't mind."

Wu Yumin's face instantly darkened, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately pulled his wallet back: "No way! I said I'd borrow twenty, and that's the maximum I can lend!"

"Fine, forget it!" Su Ming shrugged, turned around nonchalantly, and made as if to walk towards Lin Shumei. "I'll go find Manager Lin instead. She's definitely more generous than you."

"Hey, hey, wait!" Upon hearing that he needed to find Manager Lin, Wu Yumin immediately panicked. He didn't want to be scolded by the manager for such a small matter, so he impatiently waved his hand, pulled a fifty-yuan note from his wallet, and shoved it into Su Ming's hand with a curt tone: "Fine, fine, here's fifty yuan, take it!"

"Thank you, team leader!" Su Ming took the banknote, still warm from Wu Yumin's touch, and a bright smile immediately spread across his face. He said excitedly, "Then... I won't return this money to you!"

Wu Yumin's face instantly turned from gloomy to dark, and he was so angry he almost jumped up: "Hey! What did you say? This money isn't for you, it's a loan! You have to pay me back tomorrow!"

"Didn't you just say it was 'for' me?" Su Ming blinked innocently.

"Who said I gave it to you?" Wu Yumin glared angrily, his beard bristling. "Listen carefully, it was a loan! A loan!"

"I'm sorry." Su Ming smiled, a smile that Wu Yumin found utterly despicable. "I can't pay you back tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the day after that, next week, or even the week after that. If you ask, the answer is no money."

After saying that, he ignored Wu Yumin, who was furious and about to explode, and turned to Tian Jing, who looked completely bewildered, and waved casually: "Come on, beautiful, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Hey! Su Ming! You bastard, you have to pay me back this money..." Wu Yumin chased after him angrily, still wanting to argue.

Seeing this, Lin Shumei finally couldn't stand it any longer. She glared at him with her phoenix eyes and shouted angrily, "Enough, Wu Yumin! Are you really that short of twenty yuan?"

Wu Yumin, his face flushed with anxiety, hurriedly explained, "Manager, it's not just twenty, this kid took fifty from me!"

"So what if it's fifty?" Lin Shumei snapped. "Can't you survive without fifty yuan? Su Ming just started, he's probably short on cash. Let's wait until he gets paid. What's the rush?"

Wu Yumin was given a severe scolding and immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. He could only lower his head, suppressing all his anger and daring not to speak out.

Su Ming was secretly delighted to see Wu Yumin's face turn ashen, like a wilted eggplant! He didn't look at him any longer and happily led Tian Jing out of the factory area.

Walking down the street at dusk, Su Ming held the fifty yuan note he had just "borrowed" in his hand, deliberately waving it around with a "snap, snap" sound, and said with a smile to Tian Jing beside him, "Alright, now we can have a nice meal. Beautiful lady, what would you like to eat? Just name it, it's on me!"
