"Leave if you're unwilling to work!" The crude voice echoed from Chairman's office. People on the third floor of the building quickly glanced at each other with questioning eyes, then promptly buried themselves in work. The tiger was showing his teeth today, and they didn't want to step on his tail.
When Li Xin Yue walked out, even though she held her chin high, her inner rage was nearly uncontrollable!
Li Xin Yue, who was 30 years old, was employed as the general manager at this Porsche 4S store one year ago. From the project initiation to the present day, she personally led a team of over thirty handsome men and beautiful saleswomen to clean the showroom floor, scrubbing the marble until it shone like a mirror.
One moment ago she was boasting about taking initiatives, the next, she's abruptly left humiliated.
The Chairman, an old man who began his fortune from being a displaced farmer, didn't understand jack, but he had the power to give life or death to the company. He owned 55% of the company's shares.
To invite a dragon dance troupe for the opening ceremony was his idea. Not only did it ruin the reputation of the Porsche logo, but it also turned her into a laughingstock in the industry!
Fine, she'd leave. If they didn't want her here, other places would surely welcome her!
Driving away, she was still seething in anger!
The corner of her mouth tasted salty – damn, she was crying.
Even with an annual salary of millions, she was still just a salaried worker!
Every industry has its circle, and she was sure that the news of what happened today would spread throughout the auto industry in less than half a day. She was utterly humiliated!
Everyone knew she got kicked out by the boss, but the insider story didn't matter. Judging her based on surface facts, she felt so disgraced, she wanted to...
"Ahh!" It was too late for Li Xin Yue to swerve the steering wheel. She swore she hadn't acknowledged what was happening. She was only 30, hadn't even had time to fall in love properly, and now the workhorse was about to turn into a pile of bones.
How terrifying!
How could this happen?
"The truck was loaded with over twenty tons of sand, but it turned too sharply at high speed and overturned. Boss Li and another golf car were instantly buried by the sand. By the time the firefighters dug them out, there were already no signs of life!"
At the sight of the newspaper and the description of those in the know, everyone in the company headquarters – or rather, everyone who learned about her fate couldn't help but sigh: "cherish today, cherish the present - who knows whether tomorrow or accidents will come first."
Li Xin Yue, Boss Li, that smart, successful woman not even in her thirties, was actually buried alive!
Out of work and eating dust, was never her fate, after all, she, Li Xin Yue had at least a few hundred thousand in savings. If worst came to worst, she could sell the bug and be able to hold herself over until her next job.
However, she had so much dirt in her mouth, she kept vomiting it out.
"Xin Yue, Xin Yue, you've scared your mother to death." While crying, she shouted: "Xin Yue, do you feel unwell anywhere? If you're in pain, I'll call Uncle Wang right away."
Mother? Whose mother?
Was her family here so quickly?
And who was Uncle Wang?
Shouldn't she be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment?
"Dong Mei, stop crying. The child is hurt. Let's take her to Doctor Wang. He can give her a shot," Wang Chun Sheng said. "There's a drug called Penicillin now. It can cure her."
This is nonsense. What kind of quackery is this? She had physical injuries, Ok!
Li Xin Yue felt, if she didn't speak up, her life might be in danger.
Boss Li tried hard to open her eyes, only to be truly shocked. It seemed like all the construction workers on the site had gathered. Were they afraid she would sue and wore their patched clothes to appear poorer?
"Dong Mei, Xin Yue has woken up," Xu Mei Lan was overjoyed: "Look, Xin Yue has woken up. Xin Yue, do you recognize me?"
No matter if you're a Tom, Dick, or Harry, don't expect her to go easy. She vows to hire a top lawyer to sue until your family goes bankrupt.
Imagine that she was almost buried alive, this resentment was just unbearable. She was lucky enough to escape death today, but what about tomorrow?
Overloaded trucks are a major catastrophe. No problem if nothing happens, but if an accident occurs, there would be no survivors.
Yes, she's still alive. She has to visit the Guanyin temple someday to give thanks.
"What's wrong, don't you recognize your aunt anymore?" Seeing Li Xin Yue's blank expression as if her soul had fled her body, Wang Dong Mei broke down into tears: "Xin Yue, don't tell me you've been hit stupid, Xin Yue, do you remember your mom, your mom is here, do you remember?"
Mom? What role am I supposed to be playing?
In her anxiety, Li Xin Yue fainted.
Some things, it's better to faint and become more aware of them!
When Li Xin Yue woke up again, she pretended to be unconscious.
"The patient is generally fine, just some external injuries. But, she needs good care and might probably be frightened." The barefoot doctor Wang Xian Min sighed: "It's a blessing in disguise. The landslide hit only half a room, pushing the bed out by two meters. If it had hit the whole room, this child wouldn't be alive."
"Who wouldn't agree?" Wang Da Yu said: "Some years ago, when Wei Dong proposed construction on this hillside, I felt it wasn't right. Now, look what happened. There were continuous heavy rains, then a landslide."
"You stop talking, it's easy to be wise after the event. Wei Dong is just a contractor, how was he supposed to know?" Zhang Li Li glared at the man and then turned to her sister-in-law: "Dong Mei, you must inform Wei Dong about this matter."
"Okay, I will send a message out of the mountain later." Wang Dong Mei said: "We have to rebuild this half-house, all these matters still need his decision.”
People went from discussing her wounds to fixing the house, to going out and moving bricks, and mixing mortar...
Li Xin Yue could accept all the chaos, but what she couldn't accept was that her age not only put on a brake but also shifted into reverse, directly regressed her into a 12-year-old girl.
Stop kidding around, the world can be so unpredictable.
In the morning, he's the high and mighty General Manager Li who seems to float an air of authority, only to be scolded out by an old fart in the afternoon.
And just like that, he's rolled back into the twentieth century, the summer of 1989.
He is now the only daughter of Li Weidong and Wang Dongmei, from Wangjia village in Hehong town of Beilong County.
Happiness is mostly the same around the world, but what Li didn’t foresee was that misfortune could be similar too.
A few years ago, Li Weidong built new houses for his wife and daughter on a hillside, only to encounter a landslide. It would've been called a debris flow, and if it weren't for a few rafters blocking the way, she would've been buried alive.
Wang Dongmei was scared half to death, and half of Wangjia village mobilized to dig her out, surprisingly she didn't suffer any serious injury. It was a bewildering kind of joy.
Yes, everything is unexpected!
General Manager Li sighed softly. She was supposed to face a new environment as a new office worker, but now she's ended up having new parents, and still having to face a new environment.
Everything, starting all over again!
That’s right, she couldn't just continue to work for others for two lifetimes. No, if you miss an opportunity it's gone forever. Li decided to roll up her sleeves and work hard.
If she can't be a rich second-generation herself, then she'll be the mother of one. She swore in this lifetime to be the rich first-generation, and never again to be scolded right on the nose.
Determined, unfazed by possible sacrifices, she glanced up to notice that her mom was still wiping tears.
"Mom, I'm okay, don't be upset." Her mom was so scared that she seemed fragile, and it looked like she needed to be comforted.
