Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

“This is your salary that I have been keeping for you. Be sure to keep them at a safe place; the train can be a very dangerous place. Follow Boss Zhang closely. She will arrange for you to be trained at one of the franchisee first and have you work at the direct sales office once it is ready. You can spend a few days to familiarize yourself with the environment and do some sightseeing first. There is no need to start working right away.” Shu Yan straightened up her collar for her. “We have very similar experiences. If I am able to relive my life, so could you.”

“Mmm, I am sure I can. Big Sister, can I call you that?” Yingying looked at Shu Yan with sparks in her eyes.

“Of course.” Shu Yan had always thought of her as her little sister anyway.

“I have always been envious of others with big sisters but I don’t long need to be envious of them. I am very lucky to have ran into a big sister like you. I will work hard after I have arrived at City Yang and aim to become a stare manager as soon as possible. I will make you proud. What I worry the most is my parents and my brother coming to harass you. No need to hold back, big sister, if they come. Just call the cops.” Yingying worried a lot about trouble that she might have brought Shu Yan.

“Don’t worry. They won’t dare come.”

Yingying’s parents were the typical bully who only picked on those weaker than them. Her brother wasn’t a brave one either. All of them were only bullies in their own house. If they dared come, Shu Yan would just have someone teach them a lesson. She was sure they would avoid her in the future.

“Okay, I should go now.” Yingying stuck her head out of the window after she had gotten onto the train. She waved and said, “Goodbye, Big Sister, and thank you.”

With one person down, Zhang Huaxiu would not be able to handle the work on her own. Hu Ruixue had been busy with matters of setting up branch offices at Capital City and City Yang. There were also a lot to take care of at City Nan as well. Shu Yan couldn’t not help. She felt exceptionally busy all of a sudden. Luckily, it was easy to look for help right now and a few came as soon as she posted the want sign.

A few of them were workers who had just retired from the factories this year. All of them were married with children. Shu Yan wasn’t worried that they would nee to take a lot of time off because they were mothers; the problem was that they did not maintain their figures. She wanted very much to help them out but this was a boutique. She needed her employees to have shapely figures. If their clothes didn’t look good on the workers, they would not be able to attract the customers to buy them.

See that, Zhang Huaxiu felt an exceptional pressure. Her mother had been urging her to have children. It wouldn’t be too bad during the start of her pregnancy but would she be able to work so much during the tail end of it? And she would need to feed the baby after ward as well. She would be gone for over a year? The shop would for sure look for a new manager. If that was the case, what could she do when she returned?

“What are you thinking about?” asked Shu Yan when she noticed the worried look on Zhang Huaxiu.

“Oh, nothing much... my mother is urging me to have a child, I...”

Shu Yan figured out her worries immediately. “You will have children sooner or later. If you can still work during your pregnancy, I can give you a three-month maternity leave. But if you are to breast feed... you know those baby bottles? You can pump ahead of time then heat them up for the baby. But it is not going to be pleasant.”

“I am fine with that,” said Zhang Huaxiu. She was happy to hear that Shu Yan would be giving her three months off.

Such was the hardship of being a woman. From being pregnant to giving birth to the baby, not only would one body sustain a lot of damages, they also risked losing their jobs in addition to that.
