Shine on Me Episode 5

Troubles at work

XiGuang definitely has no clue who Lin is and that seems to really annoy him. TBH I would not understand his issue had novel readers not included spoilers. After getting caught after hours she and mentor are begged by procurement dept to hurry up a contract because they wanted to rush payment. XiGuang’s desk and personal stamp are used on it and while she wanted to read all of the contract, she trusted her mentor and didn’t argue the point. It turns out that money unit for one item was in RMB currency and now a big finance mistake. The ass from procurement is talking a different story when he wants to toss blame for an issue caused by his department. While these two departments argue about how to distribute blame, Lin is observing areas of company and talking with an old mentor. There is then a nice long chat about renewable non fossil energy. Mr Lin is called about the money issue and personally handles it. What doesn’t seem right is that Mo department head getting on his high horse to criticize hires for a completely different department. That should be out of his purview once the upper management intermediates overlapping department conflicts. Lin kept his responses polite and civil while dealing with a pompous ass. The next time his lackey comes begging for a rushed contract I hope they take their time to read every bit of fine print and then clear it with supervisor before signing off on it. XiGuang finds herself transferred to admin where Lin will now directly be her supervisor. He has provided her a shield for Mo but admin has no jobs available. She finds herself in a very disorganized company archive buried under files and old contracts. She has found her organizing super power😂🤣 This job is actually a good break for her to keep her job and be low profile to avoid any further work issues. Lin does not seem happy with his job placement but his hand and wrist seems to be causing big issues which is why surgeon no longer a job option. XiGuang is cute singing to herself while cleaning. Lin shows up and gets a new reason to scowl at her.😝She should just keep working silently and not try to butter up the boss that has already saved her ass from a serious mistake. Her comment about rushing payment has him reviewing procurement contracts. He is offended by her claiming to have a good memory but with work details she has shown this to be true. He has challenged her to research their top 50 products and historically determine their prices and development. She is not happy with the assignment but she refuses to back away from it. She creates a spreadsheet with all the requested data and then asks for time off. He can’t deny her skills but she doesn’t get time off for her efforts. Her lame health excuse to a prior doctor did not go over well. She should have just been honest and say she needed a break to rejuvenate after all the overtime hours. The trio of roomies hear a new hire is getting one of the new rooms when they should have been on the list. They are especially annoyed because the new hire is in procurement department. They are deciding if they should speak up or stay quiet. It is already clear XiGuang is not gonna stay quiet. She opts to talk to Lin directly rather than file a complaint. So she corners him when he’s exiting from a meeting. Goes to next episode…
