You're Fired !

65

Lisa did not know what Jungkook, who was silent beside her, was thinking. She only knew that, since Guifeng Communication could not claim that the contract was invalid, so Yumi’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 Yumi to be so emotional that she sobbed in a low voice, Sujin to look blue, and Li Minjun to look ugly. She had just jumped into Lisa’s trap, and she was really resentful, and now when she looked at Yumi, she looked even more displeased.

“Even if you can’t be fired during your pregnancy, Yumi, 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 Minjun, am really willing to bow down to you.”

Li Minjun’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? yumi, 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.”

Yumi was unable to lift her head because of Li Minjun’s words. For a moment, she even felt that Li Minjun 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 Minjun, I am also willing to insist ……”

She was about to say a lot of silly things to show her determination but Lisa stopped her right there —
“It’s time to rest, Yumi, 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 Minjun, true to form, snorted, “That’s how young girls are nowadays, they simply don’t have the means to suffer ……”

“It’s not a matter of suffering or not.” Lisa looked at Li Minjun. She stared at the other party with her eyes firm and spoke in a strong tone, “Every person is different from each other, and their physiques are even more different. There are some people who have cancer who can still survive healthily for more than ten years with conservative treatment. So Manager Li, let me make an inappropriate assumption offensively and ask you, if you are unfortunate enough to have cancer, would you seize on such a special case as a reference and give up open surgery in favour of conservative treatment? Just because others have survived healthily with conservative treatment, is it that you must be able to do the same?”
Li Minjun choked, seemingly wanting to retort, however, Lisa drummed, not giving her the opportunity to speak at all.

“Historically, when it comes to education, we all know that we need to teach each individual according to their needs, and this is the consensus of almost everyone, but why is it that when it comes to treating pregnant women, we don’t see the differences between each individual person? Every pregnant woman is a unique individual, some will have morning sickness, some won’t; some will have gestational diabetes, some won’t; some will have a difficult labour, some won’t …… You are very strong and admirable for insisting on going to work during pregnancy under adverse conditions, but if just because you have done it yourself, you presume to universalise this standard and have to promote it for everyone to follow, then in my opinion, that’s women making things difficult for other women. Because you are you and Yumi is Yumi.”
