A New Beginning

The new foreman was a man in his forties with a slightly balding head and a serious demeanor.

As soon as he arrived at the construction site, he gathered all the workers in the open space in front of the building for a meeting.

He assured the workers that the Ever Group would quickly resolve their wage issues and asked everyone not to worry.

Following that, the workers were called one by one into the new foreman's office to verify the details of their wages and any other payments.

When it was Rong Xuelan's turn, after explaining her situation, she also expressed her desire to resign.

The new foreman was puzzled. "The wages will be distributed tomorrow, as Mr. Qi promised. Why do you leave now?"

Of course, it's because of him, Rong Xuelan thought to herself.

She gave an excuse, "I'm raising a child, and it's inconvenient to stay at the construction site."

Originally, the new foreman wanted to refused, stating that it was difficult to find temporary replacements and even offered her to raise her wages.

But Rong Xuelan had made up her mind and was resolute in her decision to leave.

After thinking it over, the new foreman decided it might not be a bad idea.

Rong Xuelan had been the one leading the charge for the wage demands, which made her a little bit of a troublemaker.

Although he hadn't received specific instructions to monitor her, her departure would undoubtedly make things easier.

With that in mind, he relented. "Fine, but give me some time to find someone to replace you."

Rong Xuelan returned to the dormitory and told her coworkers about her decision to le.

She began packing her belongings ahead of her departure.

By midday the next day, the accountant brought in by the new foreman had worked through the night to finalize the accounts.

The workers were notified to collect their overdue wages one by one.

Three large bags of 100 yuan bills were finally distributed to the workers.

Rong Xuelan received four months' worth of wages, totaling 30,000 yuan.

She asked Jiang Nan, who had returned to the dormitory to rest, to keep an eye on the sleeping Dou Dou while she went to the bank to deposit the money into her account.

After that, she boarded a bus.

Having quit her job at the construction site, she needed to find a new source of income quickly.

With Dou Dou still so young and unable to be apart from her for even a moment, Rong Xuelan had spent the past two days pondering a solution.

She finally thought of a way to make money—setting up a food stall at the night market near the university.

The university in the Daguanyuan District of Tianxing City housed five nationally renowned universities, which attracting outstanding students from across the country.

As a result, the area surrounding the university was bustling with restaurants and food stalls.

Rong Xuelan still remembered that in her past life, the night market in the university had been so popular that it was extensively covered by the media.
