Chapter 2155: Chapter 2156: The Original Spouse Who Leaves with Nothing 75
Zhang Yu looked at Lin Yu’s surprised eyes and knew this guy definitely thought she had softened.
"I was just thinking about you now, a financial person, a project manager, yet no one is calling you. Your status..."
Zhang Yu kept shaking her head, "It seems your situation at the company is a bit bad now."
"Aren’t you considering your future?"
"Otherwise, you’ll be fired sooner or later." Zhang Yu paused, "No, the company won’t fire you. After all, you’re a project manager, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands. To fire you, they would really need a big sum of money."
"They should first reassign you, gradually reduce your work, and then leave you with no status." Zhang Yu really understood these company tactics.
Lin Yu certainly knew; otherwise, he wouldn’t be worried, "I really just have the title of a project manager now, with no one under me."
He couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "I just have the title of a project manager, but no staff."
Zhang Yu acknowledged with an ’oh’ and kept looking at him.
"You’re well aware if there’s no project within a year, big or small, I’ll be demoted. The company is just waiting for my demotion." Lin Yu said in a low voice, "I don’t know what to do. It isn’t like I haven’t thought about changing jobs."
"But no matter how I call, those who used to be buddy-buddy just won’t pick up or say they’re busy and then nothing follows."
"That’s normal. You could treat me that way, you did the same to those who supported you once you entered the company. How did you repay them afterward?"
"If you had always been living the high life, those people couldn’t have done anything to you; instead, they would have flattered you even more."
"Now that you’re down and out, in such a realistic financial world, why would they help you, especially since you’re such a backstabber?"
"As long as the green hills remain, there’s always wood to burn. Instead of always thinking about who will help you, you might as well focus on how to make a comeback."
"When we first joined the company, we all started by assisting others, and then you went out chasing clients. I remember you came back then with a sour face, and the doors were hard to enter, but you persisted for quite a while, found the first client, then the second and third one."
"You persisted back then, and now you aren’t without experience. You could start over. You might not get big projects; you don’t have that capability, but with small companies, I think you can snag some projects."
"Either change companies, try private equity, or go to a securities firm. If worse comes to worst, you could teach at a school or further your studies, etc."
"You should always think about your future."
"One should rely on themselves. After all, don’t I rely on myself?" Zhang Yu didn’t forget to suggest that Lin Yu learn from her.
Lin Yu listened to Zhang Yu’s words and originally intended to hold it in, as he still hoped to rely on Zhang Yu, but some words were unbearable, "Zhang Yu, if I had as much money as you, I really wouldn’t be so troubled."
"I did get a share of your house, but there’s still a few million in private savings, and I didn’t take the money from your stock account."
"That’s at least a few million, right? You’re someone working in finance, it should have surely appreciated by tens of thousands now."
"Plus, there’s your house back in your hometown, I didn’t take any of that."
"Not to mention the money you transferred to your parents under the guise of a retirement fund, that’s not a small amount either." Zhang Yu said bluntly.
"I, I..." Lin Yu didn’t expect Zhang Yu to know all this, and his expression was one of embarrassment, "I, I..."
"Lin Yu, not mentioning certain things doesn’t mean I’m unaware; I just didn’t want to completely fall out with you. Relying on the assets you currently have, even if it won’t make you really wealthy, you can still make a living."
"Didn’t it say that with two million in assets, you could retire? You could retire too, and by trading daily, make a million in the stock market, earning a thousand daily isn’t too hard; everyday life should be pretty good."
"And isn’t there Weibo now? You could recommend stocks on Weibo, or go on a TV show and give some market tips."
Zhang Yu recalled how Lin Yu once mentioned in front of the original host that those so-called experts pointing stocks out on screen were fake experts, "I remember back then, you always said, if it were you, you could do better than anyone."
"You used to say you didn’t have the time or energy for it. Look now, you’re about to lose your job; isn’t this what you’re about to do?"
"By doing this, you wouldn’t be earning less, and you’d get acquainted with the securities companies. Maybe you could even land a job in one."
"Oh, and aren’t you fond of young girls, love seeing those young girls look at you with admiration? Isn’t this a good opportunity?"
Lin Yu was truly tempted by Zhang Yu’s words. Who wouldn’t want fame? Who wouldn’t want to become an expert? But then he frowned, "Zhang Yu, what’s with your talk, why did it have to bring up such matters?"
He glanced at Lin Zixuan who was quietly eating, and looked disapprovingly at Zhang Yu, "In front of the kid, what are you saying?"
Ha ha! Zhang Yu watched Lin Yu’s nervousness, "There’s nothing that can’t be said, the kid knows exactly what kind of person you are."
"I know why you showed up. Isn’t it just to ask me to recommend you to Xie Zhen internally? Internal recommendation, forget it, you’re not capable."
"But didn’t you still recommend that girl?" Hearing Zhang Yu say he lacked the ability, how could Lin Yu be reconciled, "I don’t have the capability, but that girl does?"
Really unhappy, "How long has that girl been working?"
"She’s worked at the company for several years, and she’s really busy. I can tell you, she’s aware of the specific data on many public projects over those years. She can say a thing or two about the data of many industries."
"She just lacks an opportunity. Once given, she will do better than you."
Could that girl do better than him? Lin Yu sneered, "I don’t buy it."
"You can wait and see." Zhang Yu wouldn’t argue with him, "Just like you, never thinking I’d do better than you."
"Alright, the flight is about to depart. Are you still going to Dubai?" Zhang Yu figured it was very likely Lin Yu wouldn’t follow them to Dubai.
Lin Yu glanced at Zhang Yu, thought about the expenses over there, and reflected on the earlier conversation, "I’m not going."
Having obtained what he wanted, going to Dubai wasn’t meaningful anymore. The expenses there were also high, and Zhang Yu wouldn’t let him stay in the rooms they booked. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to go; it’s better to save some money.
However, he couldn’t allow people to think he was not going because of money, so he took out his phone, pretended to check something, and said, "Someone’s looking for me; I won’t be going this time, maybe next time."
"Fine." Zhang Yu smiled and waved goodbye as he left.
Lin Zixuan watched his back and only thought the performance was quite fake.
"Great, finally left." Although there was no need to bear someone else’s expenses, just the thought of having that person nag over the weekend was bothersome, but now it’s better, that person left.
