Chapter 646 - 645: A Man’s Responsibility
Shen Mingzhu spoke in a calm voice that interrupted the other, "Whether it’s a well-intentioned concealment or some other reason, I can judge for myself. Tell me, what’s the situation?"
Wen Xiaoqin had no choice but to tell the truth, "We saw Aunt Hongmei, she seemed to be looking for a job. I saw her submit job applications to several companies."
Although Shen Mingzhu hadn’t deliberately inquired about the Zhao Family’s circumstances, she had heard quite a bit through various channels and knew that Dafa Construction was having a difficult time lately.
But that Shen Hongmei had given up her business venture so quickly and was preparing to rejoin the workforce was something she hadn’t anticipated.
"I don’t think Aunt Hongmei has any plans to come back. She probably doesn’t want to be the subject of gossip, so she’s trying to keep it a secret..."
Facing Shen Mingzhu’s cold and indifferent almond-shaped eyes, Wen Xiaoqin didn’t continue.
"Xiaowen, I’m a woman too, and I’ve been through what you’re going through at your age. I’ve experienced more or less the same things, so I know what you’re worried about."
"Worry and defensiveness won’t solve the fundamental problems. You’d be better off spending more time thinking about how to secure your position and make it irreplaceable by anyone."
With her thoughts exposed, Wen Xiaoqin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Knowing that Shen Hongmei was looking for a job, her greatest worry was that Shen Mingzhu would invite Shen Hongmei back, and then she would have to make way for her as the acting manager of the administrative office.
