Zhang Yu did want to earn money.

After all, she needed to buy a house and absolutely had to work hard to make money; however, she thought twice about this sum of money.

“Regarding this matter, I need to ask headquarters.”

If the clear path allowed it, then of course she could take the money.

If the group company didn’t agree, then she also could choose not to take it.

Ah?

The boss considered Zhang Yu’s choices, such as directly refusing or agreeing and simply taking the money for herself.

Unexpectedly, she gave a different choice, which was to actually ask the group company.

Even for a boss who was considered experienced and knowledgeable, Zhang Yu’s choice left him stunned.

“No problem,” what else could the boss say?

Could he prevent it?

“But aren’t you worried about what your family leader would think if you really talked about it?”

If it were his subordinate reporting this matter, the boss felt he would be very angry.

This matter?

Zhang Yu sincerely said, “Of course, I’m worried.”

“It would make leadership think I would do something that would let the company down.”

“But I feel that I should still talk to leadership about this.

Otherwise, if they learn about it from someone else’s mouth, even if I refused, leadership would still be worried.”

“They would be dissatisfied with me.

Since that’s the case, it’s better for me to talk directly to leadership.”

Zhang Yu felt that it was impossible to keep the matter secret; what if the person before her, through someone else, let this matter out? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

What then?

The boss, upon hearing this, discerned the underlying meaning in Zhang Yu’s words, “You don’t think that I might betray you?”

“Isn’t that quite possible?” Zhang Yu knew this might upset the boss, but what of it?

The boss indeed became angry at Zhang Yu’s response, “I finally understand why you, despite being capable, somehow never got promoted.”

Several incidents had proven that Zhang Yu wasn’t just an incompetent individual but someone who actually had some skill.

Such a skilled person had worked in the company for so many years and was still a junior accountant, likely related to her not being very good at pleasing people.

If Zhang Yu really had great capabilities and wasn’t good at flattering others, that wouldn’t be a big problem.

The company would eventually make her happy to keep her working there.

“Are you suggesting I don’t know how to please people?” said Zhang Yule, amused, catching the boss’s implication.

“An accountant, if they have a good relationship with every department, I think as a boss, that would be quite scary.”

As an accountant, she should know where she stands and understand her job responsibility.

The boss laughed, “True, finance shouldn’t have too good of a relationship with other departments.”

“But if you don’t have a good relationship with other departments, can’t you maintain a good relationship with your leadership?”

“In a company like that, do you think flattering will get me anywhere?”

Zhang Yu retorted, after all, she was working in a large state-owned enterprise; she knew how many people had strong backing, and she, without any backing, how could she rise to a higher position.

Okay, the boss understood, “True.”

At that moment, he realized that this person, who seemed unimportant in the eyes of many, was truly not as one might think.

After talking with the boss, Zhang Yu was let go.

Back in her office, Zhang Yu mentioned the matter to the finance leader.

Zhang Yu briefly described the events: “Leader, what do you think about this?”

The leader did not expect Zhang Yu to come to her about this matter, then couldn’t help but to exclaim, “Just know who it is that pays your salary, and you’ll be fine.”

Zhang Yu saw this and couldn’t help but freeze.

What did this mean?

Was it okay to take it?

Zhang Yu continued to wait for the leader to speak up, grumbling incessantly in her heart.

Why couldn’t things be made clearer?

If she had to keep guessing like this, it would be really tough on her; she simply didn’t know what to do.

The leader probably thought Zhang Yu was a bit slow, and said very straightforwardly: “The subsidy given to you by the other party will be recorded clearly in the accounts.

That will be fine.”

Zhang Yu immediately understood, the money was hers to take: “Thank you, leader.”

After all, it was five thousand, who would complain about having too much money?

With this, she could save her salary and get by on these five thousand.

She had been contemplating what size of apartment to take if the company were to distribute housing next year.

Whether to choose a two-bedroom or a three-bedroom apartment—the larger the house, the more comfortable the living, plus an extra room for a nanny.

That way, when she got older, there would be a place for a caregiver to stay.

But as good as the idea was, the larger the house, the higher the total cost of the mortgage, and the more money would be needed for renovations.

One could say that having an extra room was truly a matter of financial capability, which was what she was most short of.

Unexpectedly, a solution appeared just as she was at her wits’ end, like finding a village beyond the dark willows and bright flowers.

Zhang Yu, excited, sent the solution to the boss and then celebrated excitedly in the office.

With the money, she could buy a house and have a home of her own, no longer needing to worry about having nowhere to live when she grew old.

No need to worry about being evicted either.

At this point, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The success of her mission seemed within reach.

That evening, on her way home, Zhang Yu happily bought a portion of ribs, “to really improve the meals.”

“After all, good food and drink lead to good health.”

After eating her fill, Zhang Yu strolled around the neighborhood; she had only seen the area in a rush under the guidance of the finance manager before.

Actually, there should be some nice places nearby.

Zhang Yu knew that if there wasn’t a problem, she would need to live here for quite a while.

Of course, she needed to understand the area better.

Indeed, after wandering around, she surprisingly found a good fruit shop with fresh fruits at cheap prices.

And a large daily necessities store, where you could buy some stuff needed at home, which indeed offered good value for money.

“What a magical community,” Zhang Yu thought this community was definitely a treasure.

The items inside were absolutely suitable for her.

Carrying the fruits back home, Zhang Yu sat contentedly reading her book and eating her fruits.

“This is so comfortable.” Before going to bed, Zhang Yu’s mood was increasingly content.

After all, an extra income every month would make anyone happy.

Zhang Yu incessantly prayed in her heart, hoping that if possible, such good fortune would last a bit longer.

Earn more money, “earning money is not easy.”

“You have to make money work for you.” Zhang Yu knew the original owner’s hope was to have a comfortable retirement, not to suffer like in the previous life.

To have a high-quality retirement life, money had to be ample, and making money was her top priority at present.

Trade stocks?

Zhang Yu thought about it and decided to give up on that idea.

The original owner hadn’t dealt with it in her past life, and she didn’t know which companies would do well in this parallel world.

Since she was unaware of how companies would fare in the future, there was no need to buy shares.

It wasn’t easy to save up every penny for the “coffin fund.”

After much thought, Zhang Yu felt it would be better to buy into a mutual fund, as this was relatively stable, unless you had a very poor eye and bought into a really lousy fund.
