Chapter 2375: Might As Well Not Hire Anyone (1)
The caregiver’s expression was terrible as she placed the packed lunch on the table. “Alright, you don’t have to fire me. I quit. Since you’re so precious, I’m really too rough and clumsy to take care of you. I’m leaving.”
Yes, she had been hired to take care of Ding Jiayi but she had parents too. She knew that Ding Jiayi wasn’t even the one paying. In fact, it was that ‘wretched girl’ who was paying for Ding Jiayi! Qiao Nan was spending her money so unjustly. She had accumulated eighteen lifetimes’ worth of bad luck to have met a mother like Ding Jiayi.
The caregiver understood why the other party had offered such a high salary although the job description seemed easy and the duration was short. Facts proved that there was no free lunch in this world.
Forget it. She didn’t care for free lunches anyway.
“What attitude are you showing me?” Because Qiao Nan wasn’t around, Qiao Zijin’s temper was even worse than Ding Jiayi’s. If not for Qiao Zijin’s temper, Ding Jiayi wouldn’t even be lying on the hospital bed now. After all, people always chose the weakest ones to bully.
In Ding Jiayi’s eyes, the only weakling in her reach at the moment was the caregiver. After all, their family was paying this caregiver. All she was doing was using some nasty words on the caregiver. It was not as though she was chopping a piece of meat off from the caregiver. Anyway, the caregiver wouldn’t be shortchanged of her wages. She could simply bear with it.
It was a stressful society to live in today. Money wasn’t easy to earn. If she didn’t have such endurance, she had better not remain in the service industry.
After Qiao Dongliang’s departure, she had nothing to do but watch the news and serial dramas. That was why she had gained a slight understanding of the current socio-economic situation.
“Who cares about my attitude? Do you think that I haven’t done my job well enough, that I starved you, or that I caused your condition to worsen? I think you’re right. Since I’m not capable, I won’t disrupt your recuperation. Someone else can have this job.”
She was rather renowned in her field. Otherwise, Ding Jiayi’s younger daughter wouldn’t have hired her either.
If she were to insist on taking care of such a difficult patient like Ding Jiayi, her reputation would definitely be ruined given Ding Jiayi’s nasty temper.
Who didn’t care about their reputations?
Ding Jiayi’s casual rant was enough to damage her reputation in the industry. As such, it was no wonder the caregiver would rather give up the high salary than serve Ding Jiayi as her ancestor.
“You…” Ding Jiayi was raging and felt that the pain in her stomach was intensifying. “I hired you to take care of me. Are you really here to take care of me or to abuse me? Do you believe that I’ll make a complaint against you? Do you really think you can leave just because you want to? Who gave you the right to do so? You’ll definitely regret giving up this job!”
She didn’t believe it!
Ding Jiayi had a feeling that Qiao Nan had paid this caregiver handsomely. It wasn’t easy to earn money in the first place, let alone such a high salary.
In short, Ding Jiayi was simply aggrieved and was purposely trying to torture the caregiver.
Ding Jiayi loved money, especially now that her husband had run away from her. The daughter whom she loved had become unreliable and had even started a fight with her. The daughter whom she had doted on all her life was no longer her support. In fact, she might even be part of the generation that took advantage of the elderly as she had seen on the news.
Could Ding Jiayi remain fearless in the face of this situation?
It was only natural for people to find ways to vent their negative feelings. The caregiver was simply unlucky to have met someone as clueless as Ding Jiayi. It was impossible that she would ever have a good daughter who would be willing to help her to such an extent even while having a distant relationship. Perhaps, she had some self-awareness that the only person she could count on now was Qiao Nan since Qiao Dongliang had run away and Qiao Zijin was unreliable.
Since Qiao Nan was her daughter and Qiao Nan was paying for the caregiver, it was no different from her paying for the caregiver directly. There were no jobs in the world where one wouldn’t be lectured by their employers. It was normal for people in the service industry to be subjected to such pressure. As such, the caregiver should have considered that before coming out to work.
How was she supposed to know that not everyone worked for the sake of earning money? She was not going to tolerate her bad temper or serve her. That caregiver had won numerous awards and had no worries about not being able to find another job. It was only because Qiao Nan had offered a higher price that she had accepted the job offer.
Without this job, she would have immediately gotten another one. It was not as though she was on the verge of starving. There was no way she was going to aggrieve herself to take care of someone as heartless as Ding Jiayi. She did want to earn money, but she had the choice of whose money she would earn.
With that, the caregiver paid no heed to Ding Jiayi and rushed out of the ward. Then, she relayed the sequence of events to her employers, making clear her intentions to quit.
The veteran had felt rather troubled when he had received the call. He had known that Ding Jiayi was one without any self-awareness, but he had not known that she was such an unreasonable person. Ding Jiayi was not even the one paying the caregiver, and yet, she dared to throw a tantrum at the caregiver. What should he do now that the caregiver had left?
The veteran didn’t think that it would be easy to find Ding Jiayi another caregiver. This caregiver was known for having a good temper. If even she had been angered, what more other caregivers?
In reality, the caregiver had encountered many patients with eccentric characters. Although these patients would throw tantrums and smash things, they were hardly aggressive and never scolded or beat anyone. It was only right for her to have a good temper since she was working for others. The problem was that she was not selling herself, and neither was she a slave. It made no sense that she had to subject herself to insults and beatings.
Even if they were to hire ten caregivers, they would all quit given Ding Jiayi’s temper.
Left with no other choice, the veteran made a call to the hospital to enquire about Ding Jiayi’s condition before calling Zhai Sheng and asking about his plans.
