The man grabbed her by the collar, yanked her forward, and looked down at her, squinting as he said, "Do you really think I don’t know what you’re up to from midnight till eight in the morning?" "What could I possibly be up to? This shift was arranged by the company, it’s not something I can change." "Stop playing dumb! Do you think I don’t see through your little tricks?" The man suddenly let go of her and said coldly, "Quit your job right now." "No way! I worked so hard to find this job, I’m not quitting! Besides, you didn’t object when I said I wanted to work." "I never agreed to it either." The man shot her a cold glance and said, "If you need money, I can give it to you. Leng Yixiu can still afford to support a woman." Lin Yixun let out a cold laugh. Who would want to use his dirty money! "I have my own hands and feet, I can earn my own money." If she couldn’t even stick to this bottom line, she would look down on herself. She was not Leng Yixiu’s canary in a gilded cage. Even though she had to stay in this prison for now, one day she would be free and far away from Leng Yixiu. She didn’t want to be pampered all the time. When she finally gained her freedom, it would be too pathetic if she couldn’t even survive on her own. In the end, the conversation ended with Leng Yixiu storming off. Lin Yixun was actually glad about this; staying in the same room with Leng Yixiu was suffocating. She was really afraid that one day the suppression would drive her to madness. Early the next morning, Lin Yixun went to Shengde Hospital and inquired with her mother’s attending physician about when the surgery could be done. The doctor told her that after a few days of recuperation, her mother’s condition was relatively stable, and the surgery could be done in about a week. Lin Yixun was overjoyed to hear this. She had been waiting for this day for so long. After handling matters at the hospital, Lin Yixun went to report to the company but was told that there were some changes to her work schedule. "Due to some changes in company policy, your post will temporarily switch from a three-shift system to a four-shift system, so we have made some adjustments to your work schedules. Xiao Xie, you will take the midnight to 6 AM shift; Xiao Qin, the 6 AM to 12 PM shift; Xiao Lin, you from 12 PM to 6 PM..." Upon hearing this, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but speak up, "Manager, but I..." "Xiao Lin, do you have any objections?" "Good, it’s better without objections. Besides, switching from three shifts a day to four shifts is actually a good thing for you all, as it will make your work less strenuous. Now, let me take you to familiarize yourselves with your work environment." After a brief orientation to the environment, Lin Yixun was thrown into her first day of her career. It was different from what she had imagined. Being a telephone operator wasn’t as easy as she thought. The questions from customers were varied and even bizarre at times. Sometimes, she would even get scolded by difficult and ill-tempered customers. However, fortunately, during her first week of work, she had an experienced "mentor" to guide her, which made things a lot easier. With her afternoons occupied, Lin Yixun had to find an excuse to placate Lin’s mother. However, this meant that every evening, she still couldn’t avoid meeting Leng Yixiu.
