Over the past month, Zhou's mother called Zhou Yian several times. Perhaps because his acting was so good, Zhou's mother did not notice anything unusual.

For several days in a row, Zhou Yian and Li Li were scheduled to work at the same level and in a private room on the same floor. They went to and from get off work together, which caused dissatisfaction among Zhang Xiaojun.

"It's so unfair! When one person succeeds, everyone else benefits. Honest people like us can only work hard. We are not as good as the young and pretty girls who are good at dealing with things." As soon as they entered the room, they heard Zhang Xiaojun chatting with Zhao Shanshan in a sarcastic tone.

"That's right. If you like showing off your looks so much, why don't you apply to be transferred to the public relations department?" Zhao Shanshan joined in the mocking remarks.

"Who knows? She comes to the club just to pick up rich men. She sounds nice and is a waiter, but who knows what shameful things she does behind the scenes. Otherwise, how can a newcomer always get such a good schedule and go to the Star Diamond Noble Box?" Zhang Xiaojun said while rolling his eyes.

The two men did not shy away from seeing Zhou Yian and Li Li come in, and their comments became increasingly unpleasant.

Zhou Yian understood that they were making sarcastic remarks because they were jealous of the fact that Li Li and she were both scheduled to stay in the aristocratic room these days, but she didn't want to deal with such people, so she chose to remain silent.

"You are the ones who are selling out. How can you talk about others like this behind their back?" Li Li saw them slandering Zhou Yian so blatantly and couldn't help but stop them and speak up for Zhou Yian.

"How could we talk about anyone behind their back? We said it to their face. What's the problem? Did I name anyone? The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. Are you taking it for granted? With your looks, no one would want you to sell yourself." Instead of restraining himself, Zhang Xiaojun mocked Li Li.

"You..." Li Li is an honest, down-to-earth and capable person with a relatively law-abiding personality. She has no eloquence at all, and after being confronted by Zhang Xiaojun, she didn't know what to say.

"You two have time to talk nonsense here, why don't you reflect on yourselves? Why do you always serve in ordinary private rooms? Don't you have any idea in your mind? Zhang Xiaojun, you can quarrel with customers three times a day, and you are the one who repeatedly delivers drinks to the wrong private rooms, right?"

"You're the one who's late for work and leaves early every day, you can't even keep clean, and you even talk back to the foreman and cause trouble, right? Zhao Shanshan, this is you, right? These are facts that everyone knows, right? I'm not making things up to frame you."

"Not only do you not work hard every day, but you also can't stand your colleagues who work harder than you, and you keep making rumors and slandering this and that. Is that interesting?"

"I make a living with my own abilities. I'm not a vase, and I don't bother to be a vase that looks good but is useless. But if you two want to be vases, please look in the mirror and see if you have the capital." Seeing that Li Li suffered a loss at their hands in order to speak up for him, Zhou Yian couldn't help but speak back to them.

After hearing Zhou Yian's words, Zhang Xiaojun and Zhao Shanshan's faces turned pale with anger, but they were powerless to refute the facts she said. In an instant, they wilted like defeated roosters. The two of them were usually arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect to be defeated by Zhou Yian.

They always thought that Zhou Yian was young and usually quiet and taciturn, and they thought she was a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. They didn't expect that although she was young, she was articulate and quick-witted, and she could leave them speechless with just a few words.

Li Li was delighted to see that they were speechless after being rebuked by Zhou Yian. She winked at Zhou Yian and gave her a thumbs up, suggesting that she had done a good job.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun's cell phone rang.

"I'm in no mood and no time. Why are you sleeping? Find a place to sleep by yourself and don't come to my place. Go away. What else can you do all day except eating and sleeping?" Zhang Xiaojun was frustrated by Zhou Yian and vented his anger on the person on the phone.

Zhou Yian didn't know that Zhang Xiaojun hated her even more because of what she said tonight. Zhang Xiaojun was a petty person and was well-known for being narrow-minded.

Zhou Yian and Li Li were washing up and doing laundry on the balcony.

"Yi An, why do you come to MG to be a waiter? You are young and beautiful, and I heard that you have a high level of education. Unlike me, my family is poor and I didn't receive much education. I have no culture and no choice. I can't get a good job, so I have to work as a waiter." Li Li asked curiously.

"Because I have no choice." Zhou Yian paused and said helplessly.

"Why?"

"I don't know. I can't find another job. I have no choice but to come here. You think this is weird, right? I think it's weird too, but I don't know what the problem is."

"Ah, can't find another job?"

"Yeah, every interview was successful, but I would regret it later and wouldn't be hired." Zhou Yian sighed deeply, looking a little melancholy and helpless.

"Oh, Yi'an, I find that we are all a little miserable. If I don't work hard to make money for my brother to get married, I will have to be his wife." Seeing Zhou Yi'an who suddenly became lost, Li Li was also infected by her sadness and began to talk about her own affairs.

"Li Li, what did you say? Marry your brother?" Zhou Yian was so shocked that he looked up at Li Li.

"Yes, but he is not my biological brother. I was adopted by foster parents. We grew up together. Our family is very poor. It will cost a lot of money for my brother to find a wife. My father said that if my brother can't find a wife, he and I will have to make do with each other."

"Then...are you willing?"

"I don't want to. In my heart he is just my brother. I have no other feelings for him except brotherhood, and he is much older than me. So I have to work hard to make money and save enough money for the wedding gift for my brother so that he can get married. In this way, I don't have to marry him." When talking about making money for her brother to get married, Li Li's eyes were more determined. This is her responsibility and her life mission.

"Then don't you think about yourself? Do you give all the money you earn to your family?"

"I have no choice. If my adoptive parents hadn't brought me home, I might have died long ago. Their kindness in raising me is greater than anything else. I'll consider myself after my brother gets married." Li Li looked indifferent, as if all this was something that should be done as a matter of course.

Looking at Li Li, Zhou Yian didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. There are many people in this world who have to live, just like her. They seem to have a choice, but in fact they have no choice.

By the time the two of them finished washing up, it was already past three in the morning. They were both exhausted after a day's work, so they went to bed and fell asleep immediately.

Xu Group Translation Department

"Everyone has performed very well this month. Thank you for your hard work. I will take you to relax this weekend. Let's see if you can recommend any programs, including food and entertainment."

"Really? Boss, have you made a fortune?" Zhang Tao teased Song Zheyu.

"What kind of money do you want to make? I've been very busy at work recently and everyone has been working overtime for several weeks. I applied for some activity funds from the higher-ups and I'll take you out to relax and relieve stress."

"So the company will reimburse you? That's great, how about we go eat Japanese food?" As a senior foodie, Lin Dan's first thought was to reward himself with a good meal.

"Eating is so boring. If you want to have fun, just have a big one and be extravagant. How about going to the No. 1 club in Tianshui City to have some fun and experience the extravagant life of those rich people." Compared to Lin Dan's eating, Zhang Tao wanted to try a new way of having fun.

"Siqi, what do you think?" Song Zheyu asked Chen Siqi who was silent on the side.

"It's okay with me. I'll just go with everyone else. We'll go wherever you say we should go. You guys understand these things better. I have no objection."

"Go to the No. 1 Club in Tianshui City? That would be exciting for me. It doesn't matter if I don't eat Japanese food. I heard that it has an all-in-one service of eating, drinking and having fun there. I also want to experience the happiness of rich people." Lin Dan also became interested after hearing Zhang Tao's suggestion.

"Since you all want to go to MG, let's go there. After get off work, everyone will gather in the parking lot and set off together."

"Wow, are you serious? Boss, will going there exceed the budget?" Zhang Tao was worried that if he went to MG, the budget for the event would exceed the funds. After all, he was the one who initiated this event, and if the funds were not enough, he would have to pay for it himself.

"Well, you're right to worry... But I can make up for the shortfall, so don't worry about the activity funds. It's rare for you to go out and play, so just have fun and don't worry about how much it costs."

"Boss, you're so awesome. You've gotten bigger all of a sudden. You're worthy of being the boss of our translation department." When Zhang Tao saw that he could go out and play, he happily started to flatter Song Zheyu.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and finish the tasks at hand, and try to finish them on time before getting off work, so as not to affect our outing. Everyone listen up, we will have a department dinner after get off work today, and gather at the B2 parking lot at o'clock on time." Song Zheyu clapped his hands and loudly informed everyone of the decision.

The whole department is filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

As soon as they got off work in the evening, a group of people from the translation department gathered at the parking lot, and after everyone was gathered, they drove to MG.
