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

Lin Shumei placed her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said with a serious look in her eyes, "Didn't Wu Yumin take leave? I think I'll fire him sooner or later. I plan to train you for three months and then get rid of him."

She paused, then a smile curved her lips: "Seize this opportunity and don't let me down."

"I see!" Su Ming replied casually, his mind preoccupied with the 285,000 yuan hole.

Why bother being a team leader? What good will it do? At most, you'll get a raise of three or five hundred yuan, which is still a long way from 285,000 yuan.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Shumei raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Don't want to be the team leader?"

Su Ming snapped out of his daze, gave a wry smile, and casually said, "What's the point of being a team leader? I'm still just an employee."

He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. Right now, he should be looking for a powerful backer, and he absolutely couldn't afford to offend his boss again.

Sure enough, Lin Shumei was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"What's wrong? You have bigger ambitions, kid? Want to do something else?"

Su Ming quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I was just saying."

Lin Shumei stood up, walked around the desk, and stood in front of him.

She wore a white silk blouse with the neckline slightly open, and a black pencil skirt that accentuated her waist and hips. She stopped in front of him, looking down at him, with one hand on his shoulder.

"As a laborer with only a high school diploma, changing my fate is indeed incredibly difficult." Her voice softened, carrying a hint of languid allure. "But it's not impossible."

Is there a hidden meaning in her words? Su Ming's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked up at her.

Lin Shumei leaned down and whispered in his ear, her warm breath tickling his earlobe.

Do you want to change your destiny?

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head and looked closely at Lin Shumei's exquisitely made-up face, at the glint in her eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—could this woman be a rich woman?

Lin Shumei seemed to see through his thoughts, straightened up, and smiled.

"To tell you the truth, I own my own factory." She sat down on the sofa next to me, crossed her legs, and sat down with an elegant posture. "My husband is in international trade and is often overseas. He earns quite a bit. Don't let my position as a warehouse manager fool you; my family's factory brings me at least one or two million in profit a year."

Su Ming was stunned.

One or two million a year?

He only makes 800 yuan a month. A million yuan would be enough for him to work for a hundred years.

He couldn't help but mutter curiously, "Manager, you're so rich, why are you working here?"

"Ha! You don't understand. My family's factory is managed by relatives, so I only need to go check on it occasionally." Lin Shumei paused, a smug smile playing on her lips. "And this job not only gives me a sense of accomplishment in my career, but it also brings me a lot of convenience. Although I'm just the warehouse manager, I have half the decision-making power when it comes to outsourcing processing. To put it bluntly, I'm essentially a purchasing agent, and purchasing agents have the power to choose their suppliers."

Su Ming suddenly realized that this woman was obviously taking outsourced orders from the company and making them for her own factory. No wonder she could earn so much money in a year.

Lin Shumei looked at him with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"So? Have you thought it over?" she asked. "Do you want to take over Wu Yumin's position and assist me properly?"

Su Ming nodded decisively almost without hesitation: "I want to!"

Right now, he's short of money, so following this rich woman won't hurt; he'll at least get some benefits. At the very least, he could learn some money-making tips from her!

Lin Shumei smiled with satisfaction.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "How about you come with me on this business trip this afternoon?"

"Ah..." Su Ming was startled, his eyes widening: "Going this afternoon?"

This is so sudden!

Seeing his surprised expression, Lin Shumei's smile deepened. She tilted her head, her tone teasing, "What's wrong? You don't like going on business trips with me, do you?"

Su Ming quickly shook his head: "No, no! I'm willing! It's just... it's just a bit too sudden. I'm afraid I won't be able to manage my work schedule."

Lin Shumei waved her hand, her tone relaxed: "You don't need to worry about work. I'll have Tian Jing arrange it for you."

She stood up, walked over to Su Ming, and patted him on the shoulder: "How about this, since you're not ready yet, I'll take you on the business trip tomorrow morning. Get ready."

Su Ming nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Lin Shumei called out to him, turned around and walked behind her desk, took out a red jar from the drawer and handed it to him.

Su Ming looked down and saw that it was goji berries.

The best Ningxia goji berries are bright red and beautifully packaged.

He was somewhat flattered and embarrassed, declining, "This...this must be very expensive, right? I can't accept yours."

Lin Shumei laughed and shoved the jar into his hand: "Here you go. I have plenty of these at home. Take it, use it to make tea; it's good for your health!"

Su Ming had no choice but to accept it, nodding, "Thank you, Manager."

Lin Shumei waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

Su Ming carried the jar of goji berries and walked out of the office.

The door closed behind him, and he stood in the corridor, looking down at the red jar in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

On one side is a hole of 285,000, and on the other side is an olive branch extended by a rich woman.

He recalled what Lin Shumei had whispered in his ear earlier—"Do you want to change your fate?"

Yes! Of course I want to.

They desperately want to change their fate.

How should one take the path to change their destiny?

He carried the jar of goji berries and slowly walked towards the receiving area.

At the end of the corridor, sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a golden hue on the floor.

Su Ming stepped into the sunlight, squinted, and looked out the window at the distant factory buildings and chimneys, feeling uneasy.

Tomorrow, I'm going on a business trip with Lin Shumei.

"This woman probably doesn't want to have a relationship with me..." Su Ming muttered to himself. "But her hints seem pretty obvious, don't they? No way, it shouldn't be like this the first time... No, what if she seduces me? This woman is actually quite pretty, and has a sexy figure... If she really pounces on me, who could resist that... No, I can't do that with her, Yang Tian and I are dating... But if I don't go, what if I offend her and get fired, and then during the pre-job handover, the chip thing will be exposed..."

He was filled with anxiety and worry, and he had no idea what would happen if he went there tomorrow.

But he knew he had no way out.

With 285,000 mountains pressing down on him, he had to find a way to get over them.

No matter what method is used.
