Chapter 1420 Turning the Tide
Shen Lin finally got home from work, only to find her son crying loudly. Shen Lin quickly ran over, picked up her son and started to comfort him.

Shen Lin felt bad when her daughter complained that they came home late from get off work and she and her brother had to wait for them with empty stomachs.

The hired nanny at home will never be as good as one's own family. Unfortunately, the mother-in-law has returned to her hometown for some matters these days. Shen Lin, who does not want to give up the job opportunity, can only hold on.

The next day at work, Shen Lin took the initiative to go to the tea room to apologize to Peng Xinyi, explained the whole thing clearly, and made it clear that she only wanted to make money to support her family and no longer had any ambitions in the workplace. Peng Xinyi then smiled and said that the matter was over.

Although Peng Xinyi said on the surface that the matter had been over, she still instructed Xiao Zheng and others not to assign work to Shen Lin. It was obvious that she wanted to squeeze out Shen Lin, who had a "connection".

Shen Lin knew that her life was difficult and she had no desire to eat, so she took the initiative to help Xiao Zheng pick up the express. When she came back, she heard Xiao Zheng and the others mocking her behind her back for doing the job of a courier girl.

At this time, Shen Lin could only pretend not to hear these discussions and continued to pick up the remaining express deliveries. She happened to meet Zhu Peidong and Peng Xinyi.

At that time, Zhu Peidong was a little embarrassed and did not ask anything. Instead, he called Peng Xinyi into the office alone and asked her how she arranged the specific work.

Unfortunately, Peng Xinyi had already made up her mind to exclude Shen Lin, so she argued there with reason and evidence. In the end, Zhu Peidong was at a loss for words, so he helplessly told her to do what she wanted.

The reason why Peng Xinyi is so repulsive to Shen Lin is because she cares a lot about her current position and thinks that Shen Lin was sent by Zhu Peidong to replace her.

Of course, in order to keep her position, Peng Xinyi also refused the urging of her mother-in-law and husband to have a baby, so she treated Shen Lin as if she were her mortal enemy.

Because Peng Xinyi also has her own background in the company, Zhu Peidong couldn't really offend her. In the end, he compromised and arranged for Shen Lin to be his assistant. As for the specific work, she only needed to be responsible to him.

Surprised, Shen Lin thought her chance had come again, so she worked extra hard, but she didn't know that the troubles that followed would become bigger and bigger.

Shen Lin carefully wrote down the work items mentioned by her former assistant Xiao Zhao, and then arranged Zhu Peidong's work in an orderly manner.

In addition, Shen Lin also memorized all the client information that Zhu Peidong was going to meet in the evening, which shows that her ability in the workplace is really amazing. Unfortunately, she is no longer adapted to the wolf culture of the current workplace environment.

Accompanying Mr. Zhu to meet clients and discuss business is also the assistant's job. Although Zhu Peidong kindly wanted to let her go home, Shen Lin still decided to follow him to meet the clients.

Unexpectedly, the client, Mr. Chen, did not know how to respect women at all. Not only did he make fun of Zhu Peidong who blocked the wine for Shen Lin at the dinner table, he also shamelessly described the relationship between Zhu Peidong and Shen Lin as ambiguous.

After the drinking party ended, Shen Lin and Zhu Peidong sent the two customers to the car. Before leaving, Shen Lin was even molested by a customer. Fortunately, Zhu Peidong was sharp-eyed and quickly stepped forward to pull the other person's hand away.

However, the rumor still reached the ears of Zhu Peidong's wife, who came to the company to check on Zhu Peidong's situation. She found out that Shen Lin was actually Zhu Peidong's college classmate, and now worked as Zhu Peidong's assistant.

Sure enough, such things and rumors made Zhu Peidong’s wife very dissatisfied. She bluntly said that Zhu Peidong seemed to have had a crush on Shen Lin in the past, and naturally wanted Shen Lin to "back down when she saw the difficulty."

Shen Lin was so embarrassed at this time that she left here quickly. She really regretted not following Suning's advice.

That night, Shen Lin tossed and turned for a long time, and she made up her mind completely. The next day, she submitted her resignation letter to Zhu Peidong.

Shen Lin, who had nothing to do, happened to pass by a housekeeping store, so she decided to go in and ask. Noticing the surprised look in the receptionist's eyes, Shen Lin lied that a relative was coming to Beijing to work and she wanted to help with the inquiry.

The person in charge told Shen Lin the training fee and duration, and said that if she participated in the training and passed the assessment, she would be awarded a certificate certified by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

In short, after listening to it all, Shen Lin was very moved.

In particular, the person in charge introduced that current employers tend to choose confinement nannies who have high education and have worked as white-collar workers.

Shen Lin was hesitant, so she opened up the topic with an article before going to bed to find out Na Wei's opinion on the profession of confinement nanny.

However, Na Wei immediately understood what she meant. After further questioning, he learned that she had quit her job and now wanted to work as a domestic nanny.

Na Wei refused to agree no matter what. He felt that he could give it all for the sake of his family, but Shen Lin absolutely could not.

Because in Na Wei's opinion, a confinement nanny's job is simply to serve people, and Na Wei doesn't want his wife to give up her dignity to do this job.

Of course, knowing that he couldn't persuade Shen Lin, Na Wei found Su Ning, hoping that Su Ning could intervene to stop Shen Lin's irrationality. "Shen Lei, your sister is almost possessed by a demon. You still need to step in to persuade her."

"Brother-in-law, how is the situation of your studio?" However, Suning asked about Na Wei's studio.

The mention of this matter made Na Wei irritable. "Not good! It's much more difficult than I thought. The relationships I had before are of no use at all."

Then Suning said to Na Wei on the phone, "Brother-in-law, just focus on running your own studio. I have already made arrangements for my sister."

"Oh? Shen Lei, what are you going to do with your sister?" Sure enough, Suning's guarantee made Na Wei curious.

"I have rented a shop for her in the food court and plan to arrange for her to sell braised food."

"What? Is she okay?"

"Brother-in-law, don't underestimate my sister's craftsmanship. As long as we do a good job in marketing and promotion, you might even come to work for her."

Na Wei, who thought Suning was joking, didn't take it seriously. "Huh? Shen Lei, aren't you exaggerating too much?"

"Haha, brother-in-law, I know you definitely won't believe it, so let's just wait and see." At this time, Suning said to Na Wei without saying much.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news."

……

The next day, Jiang Shan came to Na Wei specifically and introduced a business to him. Jiang Shan had a friend who wanted to open an early childhood education center, and he planned to ask Na Wei to help his friend with the opening ceremony. After that, Na Wei and Li Xiaoyue began to discuss how to do it.

But after arriving at the place, I found out that the so-called early education center recommended by Jiang Shan was actually not worthy of its name. They just needed two people to dress up as dolls in front of the door to attract customers, and add an inflatable arch. They didn't need any marketing planning at all.

Jiang Shan explained that his friend did not tell him this on the phone, and Na Wei did not argue with Jiang Shan too much. Li Xiaoyue said that this work could be done by two people, and they should officially launch their studio first.

Na Wei, who was now dressed in a puppet costume, looked at Li Xiaoyue with a depressed look on his face. "Xiaoyue, I suddenly regret starting a business. I feel that even delivering food is better than starting a business."

"Brother, don't be too discouraged. As long as you persist, you will win. No one's entrepreneurship is smooth sailing." However, Li Xiaoyue still didn't care as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Finally, Na Wei, who had put on the hood, sighed again, "Oh! I really envy you young people, you're as energetic as the sun at seven or eight o'clock." "Pfft! Big brother, please stop kidding me, okay? Are you going to say I'm your successor next?"

Then Na Wei looked at Li Xiaoyue in front of him and explained, "Xiaoyue, your sister-in-law is also unemployed. She couldn't stand the grievance and chose to resign."

"Oh no?"

"Also, Shen Lei took it upon himself to buy a store for your sister-in-law, intending to have her sell braised food there."

"Sure! The project proposed by Shen Lei is great. My sister-in-law's braised food is top-notch and will definitely be popular with those customers."

However, Na Wei looked at Li Xiaoyue in front of him in surprise, "Xiaoyue, do you really think that a braised food shop is feasible?"

"Brother, please don't be angry when I say this. The braised food shop is more reliable than our studio. They pay in cash, unlike us who have to advance funds and delay payments."

"..." Na Wei immediately felt embarrassed at this moment, but from this perspective it does make sense.

Nowadays, advance payment and delayed payment have almost become the unspoken rules of this industry. Even large companies like beauty companies are not immune, which is why it is becoming increasingly difficult to operate and start a business.

At this time, Na Wei couldn't help but look forward to this braised food shop. He also wanted Shen Lin to become the female boss of the braised food industry, so that it would be better for him to work for his wife than to have to look at other people's faces.

At this time, Suning had already brought Shen Lin to the store, and was surprised to find that all the equipment was complete. It was obvious that Suning had been secretly preparing for a long time.

Shen Lin's eyes widened in surprise, realizing that Suning had already started working on the store. "Shen Lei, have you finished everything?"

"Yes! In fact, it won't take long to decorate the store and buy equipment. Besides, I have registered a food company in your name." Suning explained to Shen Lin with a nonchalant smile.

"What? Is this the reason you borrowed my ID card last time?"

"Yes! The business license and health license have been obtained."

"How could you be so self-willed? Even if you really want to sell braised food, you should rent a stall! The cost of opening a shop is really too high."

However, Su Ning explained to Shen Lin, "Sister, I have carefully calculated the economics. Setting up a stall is really not as cost-effective and convenient as opening a store."

"Hmph! What do you want me to say about you?" Shen Lin said to Su Ning with both joy and anger.

"Sis, I'm a public official now, so you'll be holding my shares for me from now on."

"Don't worry! Sister will never take your share of the shares away from you."

"Haha, then you better work hard. I've already contacted some self-media and will promote it on platforms like TikTok. Don't get tired and turn around to scold me when the time comes."

"what……"

……

A group of new young people came to Na Jun's working group, and they were all recruited by Na Jun. These newcomers seemed so energetic and had more energy than the old ones like Na Jun.

Just at this moment, Haoran, an old employee who had not slept all night, suddenly fainted and fell to the ground unconscious. Na Jun, who was also in a trance, was frightened and his heart rate quickened. He quickly ran into the bathroom in panic, and then covered his mouth and cried there.

This is the misery of workers. Employees want money and various benefits from their boss, but the boss wants their lives.

Na Jun wanted to continue working overtime to finish the remaining work, but the frightened Mr. Lu asked him to go back and rest. Zhou Paopi didn't want to really work his donkey to death.

The old employee Haoran is a lesson for us. After all, they are no longer young men in their twenties, and their health is already declining. If they continue to stay up late, they will overdraw their bodies sooner or later.

In the middle of the night, Na Jun's phone suddenly rang, but he couldn't hear it at all, not even what Li Xiaoyue said to him.

It was not until Li Xiaoyue typed something on her phone for him to see that Na Jun realized he was deaf, and he was completely stunned.

Na Jun's temporary deafness made him panic. His girlfriend Li Xiaoyue hurried to take him to the hospital, but in the parking lot Na Jun insisted on driving and shouted at Li Xiaoyue to stay away.

Li Xiaoyue had no choice but to give him the car keys, but Na Jun stepped on the accelerator hard and crashed into the pillar beside him.

Li Xiaoyue was shocked by Na Jun's behavior and didn't know what Na Jun was up to.

When Na Jun got out of the car, he found that he was unharmed. Then he loudly told Xiaoyue to call the company and tell them that he had been in a car accident on the way to work overtime and was deaf.

Li Xiaoyue immediately understood what he meant. Although she did not agree with his approach, she still did it against her will.

That night, Na Jun went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the film. He judged that the deafness might be caused by excessive work pressure and mental stress, or it might be a mild concussion caused by the car accident.

Immediately afterwards, Na Jun was arranged to be hospitalized for treatment, and the company leaders also came to visit Na Jun, but they didn't know that this was just Na Jun's way of escaping pressure.

However, Na Jun did not realize that he had been possessed by a demon. His escape this time only made his pressure even greater, and also laid the groundwork for his tragedy.

"Najun, you're really working too hard right now. Why don't you just quit and take a good rest?"

"No! I just want to arrange a work injury so the company can't fire me now."

"Naijun, don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"

"Xiaoyue, stop talking! I want to have a good rest."

"..."
