Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 581 Wanting to be a Mommy
After hanging up the phone, Lily sat in her boss's chair, lost in thought.

A month has passed since I became a manager. Although the bonus I received was quite substantial, I felt somewhat powerless when I thought about the bottomless pit that was my hometown.

If it weren't for the thought of earning enough money to return to her hometown and live a normal life, and having to rely on her parents and younger brother in the village to make ends meet, she truly wouldn't want to deal with this mess anymore.

Everyone says that working in the entertainment industry is lucrative, but she doesn't gamble, doesn't waste money, and doesn't keep gigolos, so why has she only saved 150,000 yuan after so many years?

Ah, no, with the dividends from this period, it should be 200,000 now.

But why isn't it enough?

"What if my younger brother gets married and then a few more people ask me for money? What should I do then?"

"No, no, I'm all settled down and have a family, how could I possibly have the nerve to ask me for money again? Impossible!"

For a fleeting moment, Lily felt a complex mix of emotions, but within seconds she convinced herself.

Soon after, a very young girl knocked on the door and entered the office.

Lily made him sit down, and then gave him a lecture.

“.我一直提倡女孩要从高打低，宁做鸡头不做凤尾。我们宁肯在1000块台费的地方天天进包厢，然后看运气搏个二房，也不要去1300级别的玩7进4、7进5的。

"If you do it this way, you might save face when you talk to your friends and think you're working in a higher-end place. But in reality, the income will only be lower than what we earn here. Think about it, if you're idle for a few days and don't make any money, you're the one who suffers the loss."

“Our company has now implemented new policies, and some people can earn quite a bit of money in one night. You really don’t need to risk your life in unfamiliar places again. But everyone has their own ambitions, and I can understand that.”

He indulged his desires under false pretenses.

Lily spoke eloquently and earnestly, persuading the girl in front of her who wanted to change jobs to stay at the company and then go out.

For a moment, even I, who had been talking incessantly, was stunned and wondered if she had changed.
In the past, she always allowed her female subordinates to come and go freely, going wherever there was a better platform and better treatment.

Unlike nowadays, where people are so hypocritical, spouting platitudes for the sake of performance and resources.

Isn't this just like Sister Wang, whom I used to despise?
After some persuasion, Lily successfully persuaded the girl to stay.

After seeing the girl off, Lily's first thought wasn't to express gratitude for the girl's support of her work, but rather to be glad that she had gained another tool to give her commission.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

The knocking on the door interrupted Lily's thoughts. She looked up and saw her mother, Sister Wang, walking in with Xiaoling, carrying several bulging bags of gifts.

Things are different now. The two, who were originally at odds, reconciled and even became closer because of a single sentence from the boss and a job transfer.

Ultimately, it all comes down to that one word.

money.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

For mothers like them, the income of the girls under their care determines their income; the commission from serving girls is incomparable to the commission from selling girls.

Therefore, Lily's practice of not engaging in prostitution at the company would more or less influence the girls under the other "madams," and would also discourage those wavering girls from pursuing prostitution.

Even some college students or white-collar workers who are not too eager for money and are just doing part-time work are more willing to follow Lily.

And these women, in particular, are favored by male customers.

That's why Sister Wang tried every means to target Lily.

But things are different now. She's also received inside information that Lily, who's been promoted to supervisory department manager, will be fully aligned with their faction. This means the more projects they produce, the more commission Lily, as manager, will receive. And Lily will also utilize the company's resources to make full use of the girls under Sister Wang's management.

They are both superiors and subordinates who manage and are managed, and partners who come together to make money.

"Manager Zhao, my family sent me a batch of cured pork a few days ago. I brought it over so you could try it. For people like us who drink every day, having some thin porridge in the morning with a few slices of cured pork is really good for the stomach." As soon as Sister Wang entered the door, she greeted him familiarly, as if the frequent quarrels and underhanded tactics she had with Lily not long ago were just a distant memory.

"Manager Zhao, hello." Xiaoling obediently placed two bags of cured meat on the desk.

Lily stood up and accepted the greeting with a smile.

A few bags of local specialty cured meat, not worth much money.

At this moment, the three women, all with the goal of making money, chatted tacitly about this and that.

After a while, Sister Wang and Xiaoling said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Sister Wang asked Manager Lily for leave with a beaming smile, saying that her husband was coming to visit her and she wanted to go home early to cook a good meal and make a pot of authentic slow-cooked soup, so she wouldn't be coming to work that night.

Lily was curious about Sister Wang's husband's openness in allowing his woman to work in this line of work, but it was their business, and she didn't want to get involved. Naturally, she agreed, but on the condition that Lily find a supervisor and handle the handover process herself.

Not long after, Xiaoling sneaked back alone.

"Lily, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Xiaoling sat across from the desk, lowered her head, and whispered.

Lily's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but sneer, "Xiaoling, why did you come back alone? Are you going to pay me back?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoling raised her head and hurriedly shook her hand. Halfway through, as if remembering something, she quickly withdrew her hand, biting her lip with a look of shame: "Sister Lily, I will definitely pay you back as soon as I earn money."

His voice grew softer and softer, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.

Lily, who came from Northeast China, had a boldness unlike other women, even though she was also heartbroken about giving away 150,000 yuan.

But if she could erase the guilt she felt towards her two young lovers from her heart, she wouldn't feel it was a bad deal.

If Xiaoling can pay it back, that's fine; if not, that's fine too.

Anyway, she already has a considerable share of the company's profits, and she should be able to earn it back in a few months. Once a person has money, they gain confidence. Their mindset and perspective naturally improve.

Lily waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's all fate."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock came at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Xueyi walked in carrying a small bag.

After seeing who it was, Xiaoling stood up with some shame: "Yiyi."

At the company, Xueyi and Xiaoling were always best friends. They went to and from get off work together, ate and lived together, went shopping together during their breaks, and even tried to share the same private room when doing auditions.

Sometimes, Xueyi, who was older and had a college education, would encourage Xiaoling, who had just graduated from high school, to save enough money while she was still young so that she could go back to school.

Sister Wang, who was passing by, overheard this and scoffed, "Once a woman enters a nightclub, it's like opening Pandora's box. Nobody can control her, and she'll all change in the end. If Xiaoling wants to go back to school, I'll twist my head off and take it to her dorm to use as a chamber pot!"

At that moment, Xueyi saw Xiaoling in Lily's office, nodded politely, and casually asked, "Have you eaten?" Without waiting for Xiaoling's reply, she walked over to Lily and affectionately called her "Sister."

He placed a bag of fresh fruit on the table, knowing the two were still talking, and then made an excuse to leave.

Lily took two apples out of the bag, gave one to Xiaoling, and kept the other for herself. She popped it into her mouth and ate it right away, knowing that Xueyi must have washed them all for her.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

"Sister Lily, I want to work for you."

"Ok?"

"Lily, I want to be a mommy."
