She pretended to be generous and insightful, pretending to understand Yu Minglang’s work very well.

But her heart still felt suffocated.

Chen Xiaoqian, you understand the theory, why can’t you do it? How can you truly understand Ming Lang?

If she feels suffocated every time he leaves, then what’s the difference from her past life…

If she continues like this, her emotions will be controlled by a man, and even when he leaves, she will still miss him. She doesn’t like herself like this. If she can’t find herself, how can she treat her patients?

How long can such feelings last? That’s a tough question.

A hundred kilometers away from the county town, in the mountains, Yu Minglang was assigning tasks to his staff.

“For the next ten days, well be investigating in the mountains. We must find the problems that have arisen in this project. Do you understand?” Yu Minglang said firmly.

Those who came with him were his trusted subordinates.

Some shareholders were making trouble behind the scenes, tampering with the ongoing construction project in the mountains, and Yu Minglang had discovered it.

The darkness concealed his figure in the moonlight.

This place was close to the south. Although the temperature was not as cold as in the north, the nights in the mountains in winter were still long.

Qiao Zhen stood beside Ming Lang, handing him a thermos. The nights in the mountains are too long, so drink some alcohol to keep warm if you can’t bear it.

The stars in the sky were shining brightly. The sky in the mountainous area was especially beautiful, and he wished Xiao Qian could see it too.

When he left, she was a bit unhappy. Minglang wanted to explain to her but didn’t know where to start.

When they first met, he could easily say that he was very busy with work, and she would have to adapt accordingly.

But now, he felt this was too heavy a statement, and her disappointed gaze deeply engraved in his heart.

Responsibilities on his shoulders and the person in his heart.

How to let these two most precious treasures coexist peacefully, the soon-turning 25-year-old Ming Lang was somewhat confused.

On the third day of Xiaoqian’s experiential therapy for reshaping the worldview, an accident occurred.

Xiao Qian and Lily Tang were fired.

The incident originated from a wrongly delivered dish.

Each waiter has their service area, but they also help each other when they are busy.

Shuixian went to help an older waiter, who had written the order wrong. The customer had ordered the cheapest lamb meat, but she wrote it as the most expensive premium lamb. Shuixian happened to help carry the plates over.

The customer knew it was wrong but didn’t say anything until they almost finished the dish. The restaurant asked the waiters to pay for their mistakes in such situations.

The old waitress insisted that the new Shuixian should pay for her mistake. The supervisor knew what was going on, but still sided with the old waitress, following the unwritten rule of the barbecue restaurant.

The three-day free trial period comes without pay.

Lure people in, let them do a bunch of work, and finally find some fault. On the third night, tell them they are not suitable for the restaurant, and don’t pay them.

It’s despicable.

But it is also an unspoken practice of saving costs in the process of the catering industry’s regularization.

Now is such an opportunity to find an excuse to fire Xiaoqian and Shuixian without paying them a dime.

A plate of premium lamb meat costs 25 yuan. Shuixian’s temporary work for a week only earns 100 yuan. Of course, she is not willing to pay for a mistake that wasn’t hers.

Xiao Qian’s experiential therapy for reshaping the worldview had already shown initial results.

Now, Lily Tang knew how hard it was to earn money and vaguely understood the difficulties of her father’s work, but she still didn’t admit it verbally.

If it were before, 25 yuan would have been just a bottle of drink to her. She wouldn’t have cared and even would have felt pity for the old waitress.

She had already realized how hard it was to be a waitress after working for a few days. Yes, waitresses earn little, work hard, and have to put up with the difficulties of customers.

But so what?

None of these were reasons to bully others.

So Shuixian showed her clever side and began to argue with the supervisor, even taking out the order menu as evidence.

But it was obviously ineffective.

“You don’t need to come tomorrow.” In front of Shuixian, the supervisor tore up the order menu.

“Why! I did nothing wrong!”

“Whether you did wrong or not, you have already affected the unity of our restaurant. You, do you still want to work? If you want to continue, the cost of her plate of premium lamb meat will be deducted from your salary, or you can leave with her now.”

The supervisor pointed at Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian asked nonchalantly, “On what grounds?”

“According to the restaurant’s rules, the three-day trial period comes without salary. You two came together, and if she made a mistake and was fired, who would compensate for the loss of our restaurant’s premium lamb meat? The only solution is for you two to leave together; otherwise, you will only earn 75 yuan for a week’s work.”

The supervisor’s face had become an evil symbol at this moment.

He was clearly bullying them, trying to wear them down, making it clear that there was nothing they could do, and being unreasonable at that.

Shuixian clenched her fists.

Xiao Qian patted her on the shoulder, “Now do you see? Rich friends aren’t necessarily unreliable, and poor, pitiful people aren’t necessarily worth befriending. A person’s character has nothing to do with how much money they have.”

Seeing Shuixian’s distress, Xiao Qian decided to offer her a buy one, get one free deal.

“Shuixian, I think pre-ordering the EAP Outsourcing Service for your future anorexia treatment is a bit of a bargain since it’s a million-dollar deal. So, I’m offering you an additional small service, do you want it?”

Shuixian looked at Xiao Qian, and her eyes seemed to say, “We’re both being bullied, how can you still have the time to talk about this?”

“The additional service I’m offering may have some influence on your future enterprise management, but people always have to grow up. Come, let me show you the right way to vent your emotions when dealing with those who bully you. This is something your father hasn’t taught you, which is why you were suffocated and developed anorexia. Boss Qian is merciful, so let me tell you.”

“What are you two whispering about? Have you decided what to do?” The supervisor impatiently urged.

“We’re not going to do it.” Xiaoqian took off her apron, and Shuixian followed suit.

The supervisor was satisfied.

Great, they just secured two more free workers for the restaurant for three days—but why haven’t they left yet?

“What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to escort you out?” The supervisor asked.

Xiao Qian pushed her glasses up.

“I’m no longer your employee, so technically, you don’t have the right to talk to me like that.”

“Then what are you two doing standing here? You’re delaying our business!” “Business? Hehe, we are your customers now. Come on, Shuixian, sit down.” Xiao Qian sat down with Shuixian and glanced at the supervisor..
