Chapter 39.1 “I’m already changing you, aren’t I?”

Bai Duanduan did not know what Ji Lin, who was silent beside her, was thinking. She only knew that, since Guifeng Communication could not claim that the contract was invalid, so Dai Qin’s employment contract would naturally continue to be honoured, and her sick leave was all legal and genuine, so the company would not be able to fire her during her pregnancy.

This result caused Dai Qin to be so emotional that she sobbed in a low voice, Du Xinyi to look blue, and Li Wanjun to look ugly. She had just jumped into Bai Duantuan’s trap, and she was really resentful, and now when she looked at Dai Qin, she looked even more displeased.

“Even if you can’t be fired during your pregnancy, Dai Qin, do you think it’s fun for you to continue to stay in the company like this? Do you think you can still fit in with us as a group? Don’t you claim that you are weak and that you need to recuperate to protect your baby once you are pregnant? Then you are quite strong mentally as you can still take it in stride after all this. I, Li Wanjun, am really willing to bow down to you.”

Li Wanjun’s face, which makes people feel connected to her, was now full of malicious contempt at that moment, “And don’t say anything about me being a woman making things difficult for other women now and being deliberately mean to you, precisely because I’m also a woman and I’ve had given birth too.  I know that it is not as hard to stick around as you claim it to be. You’ll miscarry if you don’t take leave? Dai Qin, I was 36 years old when I got pregnant in my career, a proper advanced maternal age, and I had two natural miscarriages before. Am I not in worse shape than you? You young girls are like that, you simply can’t afford to suffer. As soon as you get pregnant you start not being able to do this or that and you have to take time off for the smallest of things.”

Dai Qin was unable to lift her head because of Li Wanjun’s words. For a moment, she even felt that Li Wanjun was right. Maybe the situation was not as bad as the doctor said. Vitals of her child were very strong, since the company cannot fire her now …… she mumbled for a moment, made a decision and apologized with a crying voice, “I am sorry for the company, I …… will come to work next week, Sister Wanjun, I am also willing to insist ……”

She was about to say a lot of silly things to show her determination but Bai Duanduan stopped her right there —

“It’s time to rest, Dai Qin, and follow the doctor’s orders. There is no need for you to give up your legal rights, sacrifice your body and put your child at such great risk just to please others.”

Li Wanjun, true to form, snorted, “That’s how young girls are nowadays, they simply don’t have the means to suffer ……”

Bai Duanduan did not want to give Dai Qin a blow at a time like that. It was also not her duty as a lawyer as she had already completed her representation perfectly. However the less complications the better, she thought about it and still did not hold back from saying, “If you want to stay in this company, if you want to be recognized by Li Wanjun or the rest of your colleagues, if you want to get a foothold, a promotion, a future in this company, I’m afraid you’ll have to work many times harder than others, and you’ll have to go through a million times harder setbacks than others. For your own sake and for the sake of your unborn child, you… have to be strong.”

Li Wanjun was the HR manager, it was easy for her to make Dai Qin’s life hard and disgust her. Besides, when Dai Qin first joined Guifeng Communications, she hadn’t had the chance to make friends yet, and it was probably predictable that she would be isolated and misunderstood by the rest of her colleagues because of the current scenario. And Bai Duanduan has understood from her interaction with Dai Qin that she was not much of a tough person. She may not be able to hold out afterwards. Eventually under the pressure from all sides, most likely she would choose to take the initiative to leave in disgrace…..

It’s just that this was Dai Qin’s life and Bai Duanduan can’t interfere. She can help her defend against Li Wanjun only for a while, but she can’t help her for the rest of her life, and there were many things that she would have to bear on her own after all.

Now that the negotiations had been settled, Bai Duanduan was ready to go home. Dai Qin was pregnant, and after obtaining Ji Lin’s consent, Bai Duanduan offered to take her for a ride and send her home first, for which Dai Qin was naturally very grateful, “Thank you both of you. Last time I just came to the company to ask for leave and left in a hurry. There are still some documents on the table that I want to take home together. Can you wait for a while?” 

Dai Qin pointed to the office area not far away, “It’s right there, I’ll be quick, wait for five minutes.”
