The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 193 Maintenance Issues

After the manager left, Ruyi sat in her seat and did not get up. Ever since the last incident, Ruyi has been deliberately avoiding the financial manager.

Now the manager called her over, but she couldn't find any excuse to refuse. She just sat at her workstation for a long time before getting up.

After Ruyi stood up, she unconsciously looked behind her, and Accountant Liu, who was sitting at the back, happened to be looking at her.

The moment their eyes met, Ruyi lowered her head again in nervousness and shame.

When Ruyi entered the office, the financial manager was sitting at his desk, busy with something, frowning slightly and tapping on the computer keyboard.

"Close the door and sit down." The manager looked up at Ruyi and motioned her to sit on the chair opposite him.

After Ruyi sat down, she waited for a while. The manager seemed to have just finished his work and looked up at Ruyi.

"The assessment is on Monday. You don't seem to be in a good state recently. Have you thought about the permanent job?"

The manager leaned on the back of his chair, crossed his hands on his bulging belly, and looked at Ruyi with deep eyes, making Ruyi feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, Ruyi had no way to answer his question. He seemed to have said nothing, but also seemed to have said everything.

He had not said anything inappropriate since the last meeting, but his inappropriate behavior made Ruyi feel offended. However, his age was enough to make him Ruyi's father.

So whether it was just a simple action from the elders or a suggestive behavioral prompt, Ruyi had no way to distinguish. This made Ruyi struggle in self-doubt and self-contradiction for several days.

In fact, many women encounter such ambiguous little actions in the workplace. Even mature women who have worked for many years still cannot properly handle such problems.

At that time, Ruyi had just graduated from school and could not fully understand such behavior, let alone the ability to solve this problem.

Ruyi just lowered her head and sat silently on the chair, too embarrassed to say a word.

"I'll just take care of my own people. There's a lot of work waiting to be done outside."

Accountant Liu's sudden appearance made Ruyi feel like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly stood up from her seat and stood aside.

Ruyi clearly saw the manager frown, but he quickly relaxed his brows and nodded to Accountant Liu with a smile.

"Go back and re-count it." Accountant Liu's voice was not loud, but his tone was very cold.

Ruyi quickly escaped from the office and ran directly to the material warehouse with the things.

This time, Ruyi did not dare to be careless. Despite the cold words from the warehouse manager, she checked and recorded everything one by one, and finally completed the report modification before the lunch break.

"Accountant Liu, thank you." During lunch, Ruyi came to Accountant Liu's desk with a bottle of juice.

"The test is on Monday, and you're bringing me juice in the cafeteria. Aren't you afraid of causing gossip?"

"Ah? That's not what I meant."

Ruyi was a little confused by what Accountant Liu said. Just as she was about to reach out to take the juice back, Accountant Liu opened the drink and took a sip first.

"In fact, you have very good conditions, work ability and attitude are also very good, it won't be too difficult to find a stable job in the future."

After Accountant Liu finished speaking, he continued to eat his lunch with his head down. However, it took Ruyi a long time to come back to her senses.

As expected, Ruyi's assessment results were unexpectedly dismal, and she was not able to stay in the company and become a full-time employee. Xiaoya, who was full of confidence at the beginning, also left the company with Ruyi.

Later on, in an encounter much later, Ruyi realized that she and Xiaoya were both destined to be clowns running along.

I heard that Xiaoya didn't go to work later, but still lived a comfortable and pleasant life as a wealthy wife. However, no one knew who the father of her child was.

After failing to become a regular employee, Ruyi started her job-hunting life like all other graduates. Fortunately, Yutian was not a remote small town, and Ruyi soon found a job in another accounting firm.

Mr. Zhong stayed in the hospital for half a month, and Wu Meifeng only visited him once on the day before he was discharged.

However, this visit was not just a simple visit to the sick, but the issue of supporting Mr. and Mrs. Zhong was brought to the table.

"Grandpa's condition now requires care. I heard that the nursing home in Tiantong has a very good environment. Although the price is a bit higher, we can't be too picky about spending money if we want to be filial to our parents."

Wu Meifeng's mouth is really funny sometimes. The word "filial piety" always seems so abrupt and ironic when it comes out of her mouth.

"I don't want to go to a nursing home, I want to go home." Mr. Zhong, lying on the hospital bed, could not move half of his body, but he still protested in a muffled voice.

"It's not a nursing home, it's a sanatorium. It can provide you with rehabilitation treatment. Besides, you won't be left there alone. We will pay double the money and let your grandma accompany you for rehabilitation treatment."

Wu Meifeng praised the sanatorium to great lengths, but she had always taken care of her father at home, who had the same illness as Mr. Zhong. Why had she never thought of sending him there for treatment?

Zhong Yunxing remained silent. Although he was very opposed to Wu Meifeng's suggestion, he did not dare to refuse easily because of Wu Meifeng's words.

Zhong Yunxing has the worst financial situation among his brothers, so when Wu Meifeng mentioned a series of issues such as the treatment and cost of the sanatorium.

He could not bear the accusation of refusing to provide rehabilitation treatment for his old father because he was afraid of spending money, so he could only sit quietly by the side and wait for Mother Zhong's decision.

However, Zhong Yunping truly believed that Mr. Zhong could regain the ability to take care of himself through rehabilitation treatment, so she agreed with the suggestion of sending Mr. Zhong to a nursing home.

"Then go, I'll go with your father." In the end, Mother Zhong listened to her daughter's advice and agreed to go to the sanatorium with Father Zhong for rehabilitation treatment.

After Mr. Zhong was discharged from the hospital, he was sent directly to a sanatorium. Only then did he realize that the cadre sanatorium mentioned by Wu Meifeng could be so shabby.

But no one said anything else. After Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were settled, everyone seemed to be able to go home with peace of mind.

"Da Rong..."

After returning home, Zhong Yunxing suddenly called out Darong's name and burst into tears.

"what happened?"

Darong was a little panicked. She had been married to Zhong Yunxing for so many years, and had never seen him cry no matter how hard or tired he was. But this time, he burst into tears without any warning.

"I felt so sad, so I sent my parents to a nursing home..."

For Darong and her generation, nursing homes are a taboo topic. There is no one to support their children. For Zhong Yunxing, he had become a joke at that moment.
