"It’s really good," Shen Mianmian nodded and smiled, "I definitely won’t be able to come back for the wedding, so I’ll wish you a happy marriage in advance."
After saying that, she looked towards Xiaocui and instructed, "Xiaocui, when Zhang Qian gets married, remember to give a gift of money on my behalf."
"Of course," Xiaocui nodded in agreement. Getting married is a joyful event, and she had worked with Zhang Qian for two or three years; they were friends, and she would certainly give a gift when the time came.
"Thank you Mianmian," Zhang Qian was very happy. It was not about how much money Shen Mianmian would give; having a gift from the boss felt prestigious.
"You’re welcome, it’s only right," Shen Mianmian always liked to keep personal matters separate from work. She felt it was better to clarify some things in advance, "Zhang Qian, after you get married, if you plan on getting pregnant and don’t want to work here anymore, remember to tell Xiaocui about a month in advance, so she can arrange to hire someone."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian immediately panicked and quickly said, "Mianmian, I’ve already agreed with his family, we’re not planning to have children for the first couple of years after marriage. We are both still young, and he isn’t planning on having children so soon either."
With her job going so well, especially after Mianmian had just given her a raise, if she quit her job just because she got pregnant after marriage, where would she find such a good job again?
Besides, the reason she had found such a good partner was precisely because they valued her good job, wasn’t it?
If she lost her job after getting married, she wouldn’t be able to hold her head high in her husband’s family.
"Don’t be nervous, I’m just saying," Shen Mianmian smiled, everyone has their little schemes, and she knew Zhang Qian’s. As long as Zhang Qian didn’t go too far, she had no intention of firing her.
After all, Zhang Qian was very hardworking, and she had become familiar with Xiaocui too.
Relieved by those words, Zhang Qian let out a sigh of relief.
Shen Mianmian then turned to Dajun, who had been silent, and said, "Big Brother Jun, for now you keep working at the shop, but after a couple of years, when I’ve graduated from college, if you have any aspirations, you might consider developing your career in Beijing."
After three years of working together, Shen Mianmian had a very good impression of Dajun, he was sincere and hardworking, not a complainer, and his military background meant he was fairly competent. If he was willing, it would be great for him to join her in Beijing.
Upon hearing this, Dajun’s eyes immediately lit up, and without any hesitation, he eagerly nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Xiaocui saw how quickly Dajun agreed and couldn’t quite pinpoint her feelings, but felt an unexpected sense of loss.
After holding back for a while, she couldn’t resist and said softly, "Mianmian, can I go with you guys when the time comes? I want to see the big city too."
There were some people from the village who had gone to work in big cities. Some made a lot of money and came back, while others had gone for many years without returning, with no news at all, as if they had disappeared.
So, Aunt Liu always reminded Xiaocui not to go out to work with just anyone, but Xiaocui felt safe with Mianmian.
Shen Mianmian nodded with a smile, "If you’re not married by then, you can come along."
Hearing this, Xiaocui immediately became happy.
Listening to their conversation, Zhang Qian felt tempted as well. Having been with Shen Mianmian for three years, she saw that Mianmian was a very generous boss, one who wouldn’t shortchange her employees if she made a profit.
That’s why she wanted to continue following Shen Mianmian in the future. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
However, Shen Mianmian made it clear. She would only take those who weren’t married, and with her own wedding scheduled for the latter half of the year, Mianmian certainly wouldn’t take her along.
With these thoughts, the joy of marriage suddenly seemed a little less bright.
