Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 231 Song Lala's Job Hunting Diary (Side Story)

Song Xianyin had been away for a long time when she heard some news about her former company.

Because the performance evaluation system is too strict, many people can't compete on performance, so they compete on overtime hours, resulting in many people working at the company until two or three in the morning.

But as time went on, something bad soon happened.

Two employees died suddenly, and the police arrested many people for questioning.

I don't know how the company resolved it, but in the end, the company decided to transform and laid off all the employees who had been working overtime until midnight.

Song Xianyin felt that everything was extremely surreal.

Fortunately, she left early. At the time, her mother thought she just couldn't handle hardship and kept advising her not to quit her job.

Indeed, sometimes you shouldn't listen to your parents. If she had, she might have died suddenly by now.

"You tend to overthink things. Those two people are just unwell, but the others..."

Song Xianyin hung up on her mother directly, too lazy to listen.

She has now learned a trick: hang up on calls she doesn't want to hear and wait until the other person learns how to speak properly.

Song Xianyin's illusions about big companies have been completely shattered.

She found a small company, which was only slightly different from her initial expectations when she came to City A.

Base salary of 5,000, weekends off.

Song Xianyin felt this was the best news she had received this year, and she now felt that five thousand was a very lucky thing for her.

Although the company is small, they really teach you step by step, and you don't learn much each day. Song Xianyin really enjoys this job.

This was the job she had always dreamed of, except that the salary was a thousand yuan lower.

At first, the company just let Song Xianyin try out the project, but later they let her work on the project on her own.

Song Xianyin is full of energy every day, mainly because the company's commission is really high.

She works overtime willingly every day because she truly enjoys the feeling of working overtime for herself.

Overtime pay is also very high.

"Xiao Song, haven't you been working overtime a bit too often lately?" The boss looked at her with a troubled expression.

Song Xianyin said earnestly, "Boss, I'm working overtime voluntarily."

The boss was silent for a moment: "It's actually not related to this, but efficiency is the most important thing. You should work less overtime in the future."

He explained, "When you're working overtime, other people will have their own thoughts, and of course, those thoughts are unavoidable."

"If you need to work overtime, you can do it at home."

The atmosphere in their company was originally rather quiet, but Song Xianyin was like a ball of fire, igniting the entire office.

But in any case, he doesn't really approve of working overtime.

Working overtime for so long means taking a long subway ride home, and by the time I finally get home, it's already dark.

Song Xianyin didn't want to talk to her mother about work anymore, but her mother was only interested in that aspect of her life.

"What do you think of this company?"

After thinking carefully, Song Xianyin pointed out some shortcomings in the company.

Then her mother started to empathize again. Her mother could empathize with a stranger, but she just couldn't empathize with her.

"Oh dear, you keep complaining about this and that, but everything is perfectly normal. Work doesn't always go as planned..."

Before Song's mother could finish speaking, Song Xianyin hung up the phone. She felt that if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't be close to her, but if she did, her mother would be unhappy.

Her mother had already identified herself as her boss, but she wasn't her boss at all.

After the call ended, Song's mother called again. The two didn't talk about work anymore, but their tone wasn't very friendly, and they hung up after a short while.

What surprised Song Xianyin the most about this company was that she could listen to music and answer phone calls at her workstation. You should know that these two things would have resulted in a deduction of 100 yuan from her pay at her previous company.

The boss was also puzzled by Song Xianyin's level of etiquette; it was too exaggerated, but he was someone who didn't like to communicate with others much.

But she often asked him to report on her work, which he didn't understand. He thought everyone should just do their own job.

It seems that big companies do have a lot of rules and regulations.

There are many middle-aged women in the company. They go to pick up their children as soon as they get off work and have no intention of working overtime.

Song Xianyin sighed, "What they said was indeed correct. To see if you can stay at a company for a long time, just look at whether that company has middle-aged women."

The former employees who were laid off from the company have been coming to see Song Xianyin recently.

Where do you work now? Could you refer me?

[Song Xianyin, I heard you've been doing pretty well lately. Still doing the same old thing? [Wry smile]]

Song Xianyin blocked them all and almost forgot about it.

They used to mock her, but now they're behaving themselves. She won't recommend them to anyone.

Friday is Song Xianyin's happiest time. She doesn't have to worry about whether she has to work on Saturday, nor does she have to worry about receiving messages from the company after get off work. She can just do what she likes and live the life she wants.

"Little sister, could you help my daughter with her fortune telling? She's coming back tomorrow."

Just as Song Xianyin was about to leave, the landlord stopped her.

She was all smiles. Wasn't the whole point of letting her stay for so long just for this?

Song Xianyin shook her finger mysteriously: "I don't do a fortune telling for people twice. I've already told your daughter's fortune before, and the more you tell her, the thinner her fate becomes."

The landlord looked somewhat frightened: "Oh, I see. Well, forget it then."

She didn't know this before; it turns out you can't overcalculate this kind of thing.

Song Xianyin's life living alone was forced upon her. Her home could not accommodate her for long, and the dual pressure from school and family forced her to go out and find a job.

But after these past few months, Song Xianyin feels that she is enjoying her life more and more, and it's really great not having to live with anyone.

As soon as her probation period ended, the boss called her into his office.

"Your probation period is over, and you now have one opportunity to adjust your salary. Tell me your thoughts."

Song Xianyin asked uncertainly, "A base salary of 6 without any responsibility?"

The boss didn't show any surprise on his face. Song Xianyin wanted to ease the awkwardness, but he agreed the next second.

At this moment, Song Xianyin knew clearly that she was going to lose money again.

But never mind, we'll adjust it next time.

"You're a full-time employee now, you can't work overtime like before, you know? People will feel uncomfortable about it."

Song Xianyin nodded vigorously. Wasn't this the company she wanted?

With a salary of 6k, weekends off, and no overtime, she's sure she can complete the system's task this time.

At this moment, Song Xianyin was lying on her sun-drenched bed; perhaps this is the kind of life that people long for.

This must be a good job, because her mood is completely different now.

Song Xianyin turned over and continued sleeping; weekends are for sleeping in.

She didn't know what the future held, but who cared? At least her current choice was the right one.
