This voice, why does it sound so similar to the man who was causing trouble earlier?
Lin Xiao Tian paused.
"Alright, then you come."
"Yes, Director Lin, I'll be right there." A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Just then, Lin Xiao Tian also noticed movement from the office.
Mao Min walked out alone, her eyes rimmed red.
"Mr. Lin, you... you really must transfer this hundred million?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded, noncommittal.
"Then will you transfer the money back?" Mao Min asked again.
"The hundred million will definitely not be transferred back. This is money I'm giving to someone else," Lin Xiao Tian replied truthfully.
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's answer, Mao Min's face fell into dejection.
"Did something happen?"
"No... nothing." Mao Min took a deep breath and then tried her best to force a smile. "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I'll go to the director's office again."
Immediately after, Lin Xiao Tian saw Mao Min enter the office.
Before long, curses could be heard from inside.
"Fine! Get out! See if you can keep this job!" Wu Hua's furious voice echoed from within.
Following that, Lin Xiao Tian saw Mao Min walk out.
This time, though Mao Min's eyes were still red, Lin Xiao Tian could clearly feel that her state was much better.
"Mr. Lin, the director has agreed to the transfer. I'll take you to queue," Mao Min sniffled.
Observing Mao Min's change, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel curious.
"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Mao Min glanced at Lin Xiao Tian. She figured she wouldn't be staying much longer anyway, so telling Lin Xiao Tian wouldn't hurt. She decided to cast aside her reservations.
"The scumbag inside just gave me a room key and told me to spend the night with him, otherwise he'd report everything that happened today," Mao Min said.
"And then?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"I didn't agree," Mao Min pouted. "I threw the room key right back in his face."
Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but give Mao Min a thumbs-up. In the workplace, when faced with such harassment, most women would choose to endure. Mao Min's courage to stand up and resist was enough to show how strong this girl was.
"Then why did you come out again just now?" Lin Xiao Tian remembered her throwing the key card was something that had just happened.
"He said he'd give me a chance, to let me talk to you and stop you from transferring the hundred million. But you didn't agree, so he threatened me, saying he'd make sure I couldn't find a job in Jiangcheng."
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"To be honest, I'm a little scared, but I'd rather die than sleep with that pig's head. I can just find work in another city," Mao Min said stubbornly.
But Lin Xiao Tian knew this wouldn't be easy at all.
Within Qingzhou, the gap between rich and poor was vast. Apart from Jiangcheng, the other cities were not good places to find work. Moreover, Qingzhou had a large number of graduates every year. If Mao Min lost this job, she would inevitably face a long period of unemployment.
"So, if I don't transfer this hundred million, will you be able to keep your job?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"That won't work either. There's still the complaint! I suspect that pig's head will find ways to bully me. It's better to just wait to be fired and get some severance pay," Mao Min sighed. "Thank you for being willing to talk to me so much."
"I didn't do much to help."
As they were chatting, Wu Hua walked out of the office.
"There are so many people in the lobby, don't you know to attend to them? What are you standing there for like an idiot?" Wu Hua barked.
His voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of quite a few people.
Mao Min took a deep breath and did not argue with him in public, starting to attend to the customers.
Some of the onlookers, seeing the scene before them, began to sympathize with Mao Min.
"This is what it's like to be a worker! Remember, child, study hard in the future and strive to become a leader, understand?" a fashionable noblewoman said to her son.
Listening to the jarring sounds around her, Mao Min remained silent, diligently continuing her work.
At this moment, Wu Hua walked up to Lin Xiao Tian, a fawning smile reappearing on his face.
"Mr. Lin, about this hundred million of yours, could you possibly delay it a bit longer? Our performance targets are really too heavy..."
Wu Hua intended to continue playing the emotional card, but before he could finish, Lin Xiao Tian interrupted him directly.
"No!" Lin Xiao Tian said flatly.
Wu Hua froze on the spot, utterly embarrassed.
At this moment, the noblewoman from before spoke again:
"This is the consequence of not having money. Remember, child, study hard in the future and strive to be rich."
Hearing the noblewoman's words, Wu Hua's face turned crimson.
He dared to bully his subordinates, but when facing these wealthy individuals, he didn't dare to offend any of them.
Just then, Lin Xiao Tian saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance.
The young man who had been arguing with Mao Min earlier had reappeared.
The young man also saw Lin Xiao Tian and immediately gave him a look of annoyance.
"Accountant Xie, you've finally arrived." Seeing the young man, Wu Hua hurried to greet him.
Although the young man was just an accountant, the company's initial account opening had been smoothed over thanks to him. It was because of this account that they were able to have nearly ten million in deposits.
To maintain their relationship, Wu Hua would always give Accountant Xie some benefits during festive seasons.
"Accountant Xie, please wait a moment. I'll have Mao Min apologize to you right away. This little girl is too out of line."
"Mao Min, what are you waiting for? Come over here quickly!"
Wu Hua shouted into the lobby.
Of course, he was even more angry that Mao Min had refused to become his mistress.
Mao Min, standing not far away, also saw Accountant Xie arrive, and her expression turned grim.
Although she was prepared to be fired, and Mao Min could completely ignore Wu Hua's orders, this matter was something she had caused. She still hoped to resolve it herself.
Soon, Mao Min arrived in front of Wu Hua.
Accountant Xie scanned Mao Min from head to toe, then let out a cold snort.
"We'll deal with her matters later. Wait a moment, I need to make a call." Accountant Xie then began to dial his phone, looking around.
The next moment, a melodious ringtone sounded from nearby.
Accountant Xie turned his head and stared at the man before him, suddenly stunned.
"Director Lin?" Accountant Xie asked softly.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
