And once he had the guts to open his mouth, the man simply didnât care anymore, he looked at Ji Lin and didnât even think the need to use honorifics, âI know that people shouldnât talk about confidential matters, but your mother signed a contract with our company six months ago, can you count and say how many domestic helpers has she changed since then? 56! A total of 56! Every single one of them was either scolded or pissed off by her, and 14 of them even got depressed after they returned to the companyâs headquarters!â
âThey all have a diagnosis from a tertiary care hospital, our company can only let them take a break from work to recuperate. There is no choice, who said this is a work injury ah? There are also 27 domestic helpers, all of whom have been working for more than 5 years and have experience, and all of them have 5-star reviews, but once they went to your motherâs place, they just quit! Our company has spent a lot of money training them! And they just quit! They said they suffered irreparable trauma in your family!â
The middle-aged man was obviously also holding his anger over this matter, âI was praised by the company six months ago for signing this big order of yours, but as a result, I didnât expect that now I would become a sinner for the ages because of this order. The whole company is scolding me now for being blind and signing such an order. Your mother is a real fascist! Sheâs a total domestic service professional killer!â
Bai Duanduan was walking and pretending to text, but she was secretly listening behind Ji Lin with her ears pricked up.
The employees of this housekeeping company were obviously having a real emotional breakdown, and now he was spouting off his bitterness and resentment right in front of Ji Lin, regardless of the situation.
Ji Linâs voice was low and cold, âDonât you talk to me about this. I know my motherâs temper is a bit bad, but the salary I offer to domestic help is 30,000 per month. There has to be a brave man under heavy rewards like this. You should go and ask your companyâ employees who are willing to do it, I will again increase it to 40,000.â
It was shocking! Bai Duanduan was shocked, how could a housekeeper be paid 40,000 a month?
Itâs a pity that Bai Duanduan was very moved, but the middle aged man who was offered this offer was like an emotionless killer. Not only was he not moved, he even got emotional all of a sudden, âOur companyâs domestic helpers have said that they would rather everyone crowd fund to give your mother 30,000 a month to have her hurry up and leave, than to go to your house to earn this money! Mr. Ji ah! Now the housekeepers also have backbone ah! Do not think that giving money will solve everything! Many of us, too, see money as dirt! Donât think that you rich people can insult our character and soul with money!â
The middle aged man had probably been depressed at his job for a long time. And like every social animal who works from 9 to 5, his strings were so tight that just the slightest stimulus would burst the illusion that he was barely maintaining. He would explode into a storm of rage, no matter how obsequious and friendly he usually was.
Not only was he completely indifferent to Ji Linâs 40,000 yuan offer, he even completely ignored it, âTo be honest, Iâve had enough of this job too! Iâm either listening to the complaints of the companyâs domestic helpers, or Iâm being put through the wringer by you employers. To make things difficult, itâs just a âsandwich layerâ with anger at both ends. And whereâs the money! I donât make much money either! I donât want to work anymore! I donât want to stay in the big city, so Iâm quitting tomorrow and going back to my hometown, and I donât care what you think anymore.â
He pointed at Ji Linâs nose, âIâve seen a lot of odd clients in my life, but I have to say, your mother is the most extreme, odd and unique one Iâve ever seen! Anyway, I quit, itâs fine if you go to our company to file a complaint against me. Iâll tell you the truth, your mother has already been blacklisted in the whole A city domestic industry. If you donât believe me, try to see if other companies are willing to take your motherâs orders!â
He also ignored Ji Linâs completely darkened face, only to feel completely at ease after pouring out all this negative energy in one go, before finally breathing a sigh of relief. He raised his eyebrows and walked away, leaving Ji Lin behind.
And as soon as the middle aged old man left, Bai Duanduan got excited. Finally, her chance had come!
âIf they wonât do it for 40,000, I will do it!â
Bai Duanduan walked almost coquettishly and quickly moved to the side of Ji Lin, who was so angry that his temper was about to ascend to heaven, and then began to recommend herself, âJi Lin, since your law firm is not recruiting for the time being, so I am willing to apply for the domestic work beside your mother!â
Forty thousand a month! Just for a month! Itâs the perfect way to get through the immediate need for money. While riding a donkey she can look for a horse and continue to submit her resume elsewhere!
âI am a hard-working person, and my original work experience has enabled me to understand how to be a good party B. After all, you know, we lawyers are just serving and waiting for our clients, who is our father, that is party A, arenât we? So at the end of the day, this is also a service industry.
âI joined the law firm as soon as I graduated from my undergraduate degree, so I have already accumulated a wealth of experience in practicing the service industry. I am resistant to stress and abuse and I have strong psychological qualities. I also know the truth that the one who pays you money is your father, so I will absolutely set my mind right through it. If you give me 40,000 yuan, I will provide 40,000 yuan worth of services to your mother!â
Ji Lin was almost laughing at Bai Duanduan, âYouâre here to follow me with sarcasm?â
âNo, no, no!â Bai Duanduan waved her hands, âI really sincerely want this job, if you see my bank card balance, you will know how sincere this heart of mine is, I â¦â¦â
Itâs a pity that before she could finish, she was interrupted by Ji Lin, who gave Bai Duanduan a cold look, âYou want to work for my mother as a housekeeper? After failing badly in my hands in the first two cases, do you want to get back at me, is that why you want to apply to be my motherâs housekeeper and try to poison her with your amazing cooking skills?â
ââ¦â¦â
âI believe your heart is sincere in seeking work because you are poor, but your cooking skills really dissuade me from giving you four hundred, let alone a monthly salary of forty thousand.â
âIâ¦..â
âNot me, there is absolutely no way. I still want my mother to live for two more years.â
ââ¦â¦â
When Ji Lin finished speaking, he turned and walked into the lift, and Bai Duanduan was just about to follow him in when she was stopped by Ji Linâs eyes outside the lift door.
âYou, take the next one.â
? ? ? What the hell was wrong with that man?
âYouâre the only one in the lift, would it be overweight if I come up???â
âIt wonât be overweight, but itâs for avoiding suspicion. You canât find someone to date, but Iâd still like to find one.â
ââ¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan said in disbelief, âI donât! I am determined not to bow down to the forces of evil! Is this lift privately owned by you?! Why should you be able to get on and I canât?!â Bai Duanduan argued her case and then dodged into the lift as well.
She had prepared a bunch of impassioned speeches, but as she was just about to continue, Ji Lin gave her a look, then walked straight out of the lift, âWhat you said makes sense, then you go first, Iâll wait for the next one. Iâll bow down to the forces of evil, thatâs all right.â
ââ¦â¦â
Itâs true that like a son, like a mother! For a b!tch like Ji Lin, what kind of a mother can he have! Itâs no wonder she can reign over the domestic worker circle and scare all the domestic workers!
The Author has something to say:
Ji Linâs family and Bai Duanduanâs family have nothing to do with each other, donât overthink it hahahaha~
[Small Theater]
After N period of time:
Bai Duanduan: Iâm going to find someone outside the circle!
Ji Lin: What circle do you want to find someone from?
After careful consideration, Bai Duanduan: I would like to find someone in the finance field, so that we would be always busy and usually work overtime separately, and we would not be clingy, which is good!
Ji Lin: Okay, I will change jobs to a brokerage firm right away.
Bai Duanduan: ? ? ?
