Chapter 1417 Reluctant

When Shen Lin heard that the female employee she had interviewed was rejected by Hu Haili, she immediately came to question Hu Haili, somewhat confused, "Director Hu, why did you suddenly reject Zheng Wenna?"

"She's really not suitable." However, Hu Haili responded without even raising her head.

I don't know if the director and screenwriter have a problem with their brains. They actually made the heroine Shen Lin so stupid and mentally retarded. "Director, although she is indeed in her thirties, she is married and childless, and she promised not to have children within three years."

Hu Haili, who had finally figured it out, looked coldly at Shen Lin and asked, "Shen Lin, are you a recent graduate? How can you earn people's trust with such a promise? If anything goes wrong, won't it be the company's fault?"

"Director, I just believe in Zheng Wenna. Society and the workplace should give these older female employees a chance." As expected, most of the heroines set by screenwriters and directors are moral bitches. I don't know where Shen Lin, who just successfully climbed ashore, got such a big "kindness".

"Shen Lin, first of all, you need to remember your own identity. Don't make any decisions for your superiors or boss, and don't impose your personal thinking on the system."

"I……"

Then Hu Haili suddenly waved her hand decisively and sent Shen Lin away. "Alright! Go back to work! This is the first time you refute me, and it will be the last time."

"..."

Seeing Shen Lin's irrational behavior at this time, Hu Haili was glad that she followed Suning's advice. If she really followed Shen Lin's way of doing things, she would get into trouble sooner or later.

Of course, Hu Haili was also very worried that this incident would affect her relationship with Shen Lin, so she immediately went to find Su Ning, the instigator. After all, Su Ning's identity was very suitable to persuade the stubborn Shen Lin.

Hu Haili, facing Suning again, had a wry smile on her face. It was difficult to maintain a true friendship at work. "Shen Lei, Shen Lin and I had a big fight in the office today because of Zheng Wenna."

"Don't pay attention to her! Adults need to be responsible for their own actions. She will realize it sooner or later." However, Su Ning didn't care at all. Some of his sister's behaviors were indeed too childish.

Su Ning's attitude actually made Hu Haili feel bewildered. "Huh? Are you really not going to try to persuade her?"

"Hu Haili, you think too much. My sister is not as fragile as you think."

"..."Hu Haili didn't understand Suning's calmness and opinions at all.

At this moment, Su Ning suddenly looked at the beauty in front of him and invited him, "Hu Haili, are you interested in going out for dinner? Thank you for helping Shen Lin grow again."

"Okay! But I'm more interested in your low-rent housing. I've been working hard in Beijing for so many years, and I've always been troubled by the high housing prices here. I've always dreamed of owning a house of my own." Sure enough, Hu Haili agreed without any hesitation. The adult world is far less complicated than others think.

"Alright! Then let's go to the market and buy some vegetables, and then come to my house and I'll personally cook you a big meal."

"Huh? Shen Lei, can you cook?"

"Tsk! My cooking skills are at the level of a master chef, much better than those chefs out there."

Hu Haili looked Su Ning up and down with a questioning look on her face, but she did feel that Su Ning was a warm-hearted man. "Is that true?"

"..." Then Suning didn't plan to say anything more to Hu Haili. After all, no one could give a "bad review" about the food he cooked.

Then Suning took Hu Haili to the vegetable market and bought a lot of ingredients that they both liked. They looked like a normal couple.

After the two arrived at Suning's two-bedroom apartment, Suning first let Hu Haili take a leisurely tour of his home, and then he went to the kitchen and started busying himself.

Soon, Suning prepared a simple yet hearty meal of four dishes and a soup. Hu Haili, who had tasted Suning's cooking skills, was amazed. She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Suning in front of her and praised him.

Hu Haili, who had clinked glasses with Suning, looked at him puzzledly and asked, "Shen Lei, I'm curious. You're such a good man, why did your ex-wife divorce you?"

"Why did you act so dismissive when I was such a good man? I'm you?" However, Suning asked Hu Haili a question from another angle.

"This..." As expected, Hu Haili was confused by Suning's counter-question. The reason was that Suning's "gold content" was too low.

"In fact, my ex-wife's ideas were very simple. She wanted a life of luxury and extravagance. She could tolerate troubles and setbacks in life, but they must not be caused by lack of money."

"So do you hate your ex-wife?"

"Of course! That's why I usually don't like to mention her. I'm just giving you the honor of being a guest today."

At this moment, Hu Haili looked at Suning with a face full of honor, holding up the glass. "Haha, then for my face, cheers."

"cheers."

Then Suning started chatting with Hu Haili again, but Suning didn't care about Hu Haili's past at all. After all, he was not very interested in the woman in front of him.

However, at this time, Hu Haili began to become interested in Suning. After all, single women working hard in big cities are the loneliest. Although Suning's "gold content" can only be regarded as the bottom in this Chinese capital, he is indeed a high-quality man in other aspects.

Soon, under the anesthesia and cover of alcohol, Hu Haili's eyes looking at Su Ning became more and more ambiguous, and Su Ning, a master of love, naturally understood that Hu Haili in front of him had lost her mind.

Then Suning pulled Hu Haili directly to the bedroom, and then started communicating with Hu Haili very skillfully. Sure enough, Hu Haili quickly surrendered without any ability to resist.

The two of them continued to toss and turn until the second half of the night, and Hu Haili was completely convinced by Suning.

At this moment, as long as Su Ning confessed to her with a loving face, Hu Haili would definitely give up her obsession and lower her requirements to date Su Ning.

But how could Suning, as a super Aquaman, be satisfied with only one woman, Hu Haili? He still prefers this kind of temporary relationship that does not require responsibility.

Hu Haili, completely fascinated, hugged Su Ning beside her and asked, "Shen Lei, can I come to see you again in the future?"

"No problem! I'm naturally happy to accompany you at any time." As the King of the Sea, Suning naturally had no hesitation.

Hu Haili, who soon noticed Suning's reaction again, was surprised, "Huh! It seems that I underestimated you."

"Then... let's continue..."

"what……"

……

Although Su Ning and Shen Lin had always concealed the matter about Xie Meilan from their parents, the old couple eventually noticed something unusual and called Shen Lin to inquire about the specific situation.

After hearing the specific news, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were struck by lightning. They never expected that such a big thing would happen to their son.

The Shen family's parents immediately rushed to Beijing. Their faces were grim, as they felt their son, who was so sensible and outstanding, had become like this. They also felt it was too embarrassing. Shen Lin first arranged for them to stay in a hotel, but his mother began to blame her for not caring about Shen Lei, not realizing that life was never easy for a young man working hard away from home.

Shen Lin was so innocent. Shen Lei was an adult, not a child who had to be tied to her belt. Besides, she thought that since the matter had passed, there was no point in bringing it up again.

In the end, Shen Lin and her mother had a very unpleasant quarrel, and her son-in-law Na Wei couldn't say anything. Even if Suning came to explain in person, it would be of no use.

During the quarrel, Shen's mother Liu Chunxia was too anxious. Not long after Shen Lin and Su Ning left, she was admitted to the hospital emergency room due to hypoglycemia.

Shen Lin hurriedly drove to the emergency department of the hospital with Na Wei. Her father told her not to blame them, as they were just anxious and that was why they said something without thinking.

Shen Lin began to blame herself again, thinking that she had angered her mother and caused her to have hypoglycemia. She also wondered if she was not a good enough sister.

Shen's mother, Liu Chunxia, was discharged from the hospital after finishing the IV drip, but was directly taken to low-rent housing by Suning. This is also her only small achievement at present.

Shen Lin and Na Wei naturally accompanied them without saying a word. Shen's mother Liu Chunxia lay silently on the bed in her son's low-rent apartment, but her heart was filled with melancholy as she thought about Xie Meilan's kindness.

Na Wei and Suning took Shen's father out for breakfast, leaving Shen Lin and Shen's mother Liu Chunxia some time alone.

Then Shen Lin apologized to her mother, and Liu Chunxia was no longer angry. The mother and daughter reconciled again. Then Shen Lin helped her mother drink some water and lie down.

After getting the news, Na Jun and Li Xiaoyue came to Na Wei's house for dinner. Na Jun felt that Suning's concealment was just an attempt to escape. He should have told his parents about the matter earlier, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things.

Li Xiaoyue is relatively more understanding. Although she does not advocate Suning's behavior, Na Jun's practice of indiscriminately belittling others is not worth imitating.

"Naijun, can you please stop selling your anxiety to others in the future?"

"Am I wrong?"

"The entire capital has a population of tens of millions. Do we all have to live the way you do?"

"Hmph! Xiaoyue, you're just making excuses. I just don't agree with Shen Lei's way of handling things."

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Can't I even express my own opinion?"

"Have you ever considered that your words might cause trouble to others?"

"..."

……

At the beginning of a new week, Shen Lin and Na Wei went to work as usual, and their daughter went to school.

Na Jun drove Li Xiaoyue to work, and everything seemed to be back on track, but the waves hidden in the dark still existed.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen found it very difficult to understand. Their son had been going to school, working, and taking civil service exams in an orderly manner since he was young. He had always been a good boy in the eyes of others. They really couldn't understand why he had fallen to this point.

So the stubborn father and mother Shen wanted to find Xie Meilan to ask clearly. They wanted to know why Xie Meilan was like this. In their eyes, their son Suning was always the best.

Shen's parents contacted Xie Meilan and asked, "Meilan, why did you choose to divorce Shen Lei? Do you really think that our Shen Lei has no money?"

"No! The issue between Shen Lei and me is not about money." However, the hypocritical Xie Meilan tried her best to defend herself.

"Then why?"

"Uncle and aunt, you are all experienced people and should understand a lot of things. Besides, it was Shen Lei who filed for divorce. You should ask Shen Lei why."

"This..." Both Shen's father and mother were choked by Xie Meilan at this moment. Then they looked at each other with a wry smile and said to Xie Meilan, "Meilan, why don't you remarry Shen Lei? Your father and I will help you buy a house, and we will help you and your wife take care of the children in the future. Go back and live a good life with Shen Lei, okay?"

"I'm sorry! Uncle and aunt, Shen Lei and I have broken up a long time ago, and I'm in a new relationship now. I hope you Shen family members won't disturb my life anymore."

“…” Seeing that they were unable to prevent their son’s marriage from breaking down, the two elders of the Shen family naturally looked very sad.

……

In the new week, Na Wei was informed by Qin Feng that everyone in his marketing department, except Li Xiaoyue, had to leave.

To put it nicely, this is called a strategic adjustment, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a layoff. The company is willing to give Na Wei a compensation of 500,000 yuan in exchange for his signing the termination contract.

Na Wei naturally did not want to sign, but went directly to find Qin Lingling.

Qin Lingling described the company's current operating situation as very difficult, and said that she made such compensation and arrangements because of Na Wei's fifteen years of youth dedicated to the company.

In addition, Na Wei will be given a week of paid leave so that he can go back and think carefully about whether he should just take the pay and leave, or take a one-third pay cut and work under a young person in the advertising department.

At this moment, Na Wei, with a depressed look on his face, found his fellow sufferer and said, "Damn it! I didn't expect Qin Lingling to attack us, and the knife was so fierce."

"Hmph! It's not easy for Qin Lingling and Qin Feng, brother and sister, to endure until now. I guess they wanted to fire us old employees from the beginning." However, Jiang Shan had already seen through the true colors of Qin Lingling and Qin Feng.

Then Na Wei sighed and looked at his good friend in front of him and asked, "Hey! Jiang Shan, what are your plans next?"

"In fact, I have already contacted a good place and have been on guard against this move by the Qin brothers and sisters."

Na Wei still felt a little unwilling and said, "I still haven't figured it out yet, and I still feel unwilling."

At this moment, Jiang Shan, disapprovingly, whispered a warning to Na Wei, feeling that Na Wei was hiding something he couldn't clean up. "Na Wei, listen to my advice. Sign the contract, get the money, and leave as soon as possible to avoid any complications. After all, Qin Lingling doesn't know about that shabby company yet. Otherwise, she would definitely use this to harass you."

"This..." Sure enough, Na Wei immediately remembered this incident, and then he no longer had the reckless feeling he had at the beginning.

Although this matter has been resolved, no one can tell when Qin Lingling will find out. If I continue to stay here, it will only become more and more dangerous for me.

Since things have developed to the point where they are irreversible, it would be a good thing for everyone to withdraw as soon as possible. After all, it is very common in the workplace to have more troubles than planned.
