The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Time flows like water, passing by little by little. Two months have passed since you entered this game.

The news that you've been rejected from the site administrator position has been confirmed. The entire site knows about it, and everyone is rushing to check on you.

Men's concern is always so crude; they all spontaneously invited you to drink, but you refused them all.

[Old stationmaster Liu Huaimin was probably hit hard. He went home and studied late into the night, patting you on the shoulder and comforting you with the words: "Life is full of disappointments, seventeen or eighteen out of ten."]

You want to correct him, but then you think about it and realize it sounds like something out of youth literature.

Faced with the frustration of no hope for promotion, you simply smiled and comforted everyone by saying, "This is just the appetizer."

You taught the site administrator another idiom: Misfortunes never come singly.

"The quarterly performance evaluation rating for the Chengdong station is one star?"

Liu Huaimin held the notification results and slapped his thigh until his hand was almost red.

He was the first person affected by this result.

Because this involves bonuses and job title evaluation.

Most importantly, he is at a critical juncture in his job transfer.

"Old Liu, the higher-ups say your job transfer is on hold for now."

"Isn't this intentional?"

"You can't blame me for this; blame your station for being too far away."

Liu Huaimin put down the phone and sighed as he looked at the empty station.

Because his heart was just as empty.

Many people at the site share this sentiment.

Because they also receive bonuses based on the assessment results, which can even affect the evaluation of star riders.

Everyone felt uncomfortable.

Although the Chengdong station was only a Class D station before Lu Yuan came here.

After all the hard work over this period, everyone felt that getting a B grade was a sure thing.

This is a real loss of interests.

"Everyone, this is my problem, I've affected you all."

Lu Yuan walked in from outside and waved to everyone.

Everyone remained silent.

Perhaps they didn't know what to say.

Lu Yuan walked over and sat down in front of Liu Huaimin:

"Now it's my turn to comfort you."

"Oh, it's nothing."

"It's nothing" is a common excuse for adults.

Old Liu's expression didn't look like he was alright.

As an ordinary person with a family and a career, this transfer was something he had been hoping for for many years.

If you miss this opportunity, who knows how long you'll have to wait?

Lu Yuan didn't say much.

Even though he knew perfectly well that it was definitely Shen Jia's family who had pulled the strings.

Shen Jia is a little girl who can't keep things to herself. She immediately gives in when she gets cold and violent.

But her mother wasn't a little girl; how could she easily back down?

Since simple obstacles can't break you down, then you should try to win people over psychologically.

Let's see if you can stay on the site any longer.

"Brother Lu, we really need to give an explanation for this, right?" Su Ming stood up and squeezed through the crowd to speak: "It's all over the place, people are saying you've messed up. We won't say much about other things, but this really affects everyone's interests."

"You didn't get to enjoy the benefits of Brother Lu's good fortune, did you?"

Before Lu Yuan could even speak,

Lin Yu immediately stood up and retorted, rolling up his sleeves as if he were a brute going into battle.

Lu Yuan stopped him.

Looking at everyone's expressions, her gaze finally returned to Su Ming:

"Don't worry, there will be an explanation."

"No words are as reliable as real money. The deducted bonuses should at least be made up, right?"

Su Ming was clearly prepared, and his words showed no sign of softening.

They opened fire immediately.

Of course, this money can't be made up for by someone so far away.

Even though he was the top performer, he only held the position for two months.

Earning enough money to support himself and Shang Qingya is definitely more than enough.

But to make up for the entire station's bonuses is nothing short of a pipe dream.

As for the previous blessing?

To be honest, he didn't have much good fortune either.

Lu Yuan himself knew this.

It simply makes everyone's food delivery work a little smoother; it doesn't really bring any real benefits.

That's not entirely true.

However, as soon as he asked for money...

The atmosphere at the entire site began to become oppressive.

...

Shen Jia's home.

There were only three people on the island, but actually only two of them ate. The nanny served the dishes and then left.

Only stepmother Ning Yan and Shen Jia remained.

"Your dad is away on a business trip. You can talk to me if you need anything."

"He didn't care about me anyway." Shen Jia's expression was icy.

Her father spends more time away on business trips than at home, and she's long been used to it.

Shen Jia's cold expression was more frequent than his happy one, and Ning Yan had long been used to it.

She sighed.

Married couples who remarry often face many challenges, and becoming a mother later in life is even more difficult.

She has to juggle work and caring for her own child.

She also has to dedicate some of her energy to her rebellious daughter who isn't her biological child.

It's absolutely exhausting.

She particularly envied Bai Suzhen, who was imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda and didn't have to do anything, while her son became the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Raising children is something only those who have raised them truly understand.

Cultivating relationships, in particular, is extremely difficult.

"Jiajia, I understand you're going through a rebellious phase, but dating is not something you should be doing at your age."

"Mind your own business."

Shen Jia put the chopsticks on the table, got up and left.

Ning Yan watched her retreating figure and let out another long sigh.

We can't communicate at all.

It is even more difficult to expect a family atmosphere of loving mother and filial daughter.

The only hope is to put pressure on Lu Yuan and force him to take the initiative to solve the problem, starting from his side.

"Hurry up and eat, I'm waiting to wash the dishes."

"Didn't we just start eating?"

Ning Yan frowned when she heard the urging.

But after carefully considering it, he frowned.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Wash the dishes," Shen Jia said softly.

"You're washing the dishes?"

The sun really did rise in the east.

The level of surprise at the words "washing dishes".

It completely outweighed the offensiveness of urging her to eat quickly.

"You're not allowed to wash the dishes?"

Shen Jia blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm done eating, you can wash the dishes now."

Ning Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks and waved to the nanny who had rushed over to clean up, telling her to go and rest.

She said, "I'll teach you."

To be honest, Ning Yan didn't really want to teach.

She herself hasn't washed dishes in years.

The main reason was that she was a little afraid that Shen Jia would do something underhanded.

There's no way around it; that's just the atmosphere in this house, so you have to be careful.

"Don't come in with me!"

Shen Jia stood at the kitchen door and directly ordered the guests to leave.

"All right."

Ning Yan said that, but when she returned to her room, she turned on the home security camera.

In the surveillance footage, Shen Jia had somehow gotten a selfie stick and placed it at the door.

While washing the dishes, she said, "Daily chores, starting today with cleaning the kitchen."

When these words reached my ears.

Ning Yan frowned deeply, hardly believing her ears.

No, how did it become like this?

Am I dreaming?

There were no mushrooms in my lunch today?
