Jiang Ruyu's mother was an accountant when she was alive. Although Jiang Ruyu's grades were not good, she was very good at accounting. She had also seen her mother's accounting methods. When she learned about this internal promotion opportunity, she looked through all the notebooks her mother had left behind.

Zheng Yang also used his connections to find an accountant from his company to teach Jiang Ruyu some accounting methods.

Ultimately, after skills tests such as mental arithmetic, oral arithmetic, and report preparation and completion, and after file screening, the leaders retained those with a high school diploma or above, or more than three years of work experience.

Jiang Ruyu is considered one of the best among them, but some people have different ideas.

"This Han Hongmin is not bad either. Although she only has a junior high school education, she has worked here for eight years and is a veteran employee."

"This Li Susu is also good. She graduated from high school and has only worked for three years, but she is good at accounting and her handwriting is also good."

"Although Wu Suhua is a bit old, she has a lot of experience."

Manager Wang shook his head: "Wu Suhua is almost fifty years old. She won't be able to work for more than a few years before she has to retire. No way."

“This Li Susu has nice handwriting, but look at her accounts, they’re complicated and messy. If you took them to the accountant, she’d have to sort them out all over again.”

"Han Hongmin is even worse. Not only is her education level too low, but look at her handwriting. It's so messy that no one but her can recognize it."

Director Yan and the other leaders exchanged glances: "Then who do you think is suitable?"

Manager Wang took out the account books made by Jiang Ruyu and another person named Gao Junhua: "These two are good. We all know Jiang Ruyu. She is quick-witted and has worked at the counter for several years without anyone saying anything bad about her. She has also learned about 70-80% of Lao Zhang's skills. As for her mother, she is one of the veterans from the same generation as us. Look at these account books, they look clean and neat. She can do mental arithmetic very quickly and is also good at abacus calculation."

"This Gao Junhua is not bad either, but she has only been here for two years. She is not qualified enough to be a team leader because she is too inexperienced."

After discussion among the group, Jiang Ruyu successfully leveled up.

She will no longer need to stand behind the counter. Instead, she will be responsible for registering and storing incoming goods in the large warehouse at the back, as well as handling shipments from the front sales area. At the end of the month, she will conduct an inventory check with the front sales area to see if the items match the ledgers.

She doesn't need to handle things like moving and placing goods; there are two other workers in the warehouse responsible for moving and unloading them.

Her job title was changed to warehouse team leader, and her salary also increased. Now she receives a monthly allowance of 42 yuan, and she also has two more industrial vouchers.

After the transfer appointment was announced, countless colleagues envied and were jealous of Jiang Ruyu. She pretended not to know and smiled as she thanked those who could barely offer congratulations. Of course, there were also those who flattered her.

The next day after get off work, Jiang Ruyu bought a fish, a bag of loquats, a bag of steamed egg cakes, and two bottles of Xifeng liquor and went to Uncle Zhang's house.

When Zhang Guisheng saw that she had brought gifts, he was pleased and smiled, saying, "You silly girl, why are you bringing gifts when it's not a holiday?"

Jiang Ruyu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you know exactly what's going on. You must have recommended me to the leaders for this internal exam. Otherwise, with so many qualified candidates, how would I have gotten the chance? Besides, I've received a lot of help from you over the years. Now that I'm no longer working at the counter, I should prepare a proper thank-you gift for you."

Zhang Guisheng nodded in satisfaction. It was worth mentioning that the girl remembered this: "You know me well after all these years of getting along. You're capable, smart and clear-headed. Do a good job at the warehouse."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang."

Jiang Ruyu didn't eat at Uncle Zhang's house; she went back to her own home. Zheng Yang had been busy lately and hadn't been back for several days. She returned carrying a bag of loquats and a piece of beef brisket.

Jiang Ruyu's sister-in-law, Xiaoyue, was preparing a meal in the kitchen while her father-in-law was tending the fire. Jiang Ruyu walked in and said, "Dad, you should go out and rest. I'll cook, and Xiaoyue can tend the fire."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dali stood up and said, "Alright, then you two sisters-in-law get busy."

Zheng Dali hummed an off-key tune as he left the courtyard to brag to his close friends. He said that his son's marriage had really changed everything; the house now felt like a home.

"Shall we braise this beef brisket? I see you bought potatoes?"

Zheng Xiaoyue had no objection: "Sister-in-law, just do whatever you think is best. I'm not picky about food."

"Okay, let's make some tender beef brisket, which Dad and Grandma can both eat. We'll also stir-fry some mushrooms and greens, and make a seaweed and egg soup. Let's simmer some rice on the stove, and then we'll have some crispy rice at the bottom."

Since her two younger brothers have been living by the sea, her family has never stopped eating seafood. Although there is no live seafood, Jiang Ruyu occasionally says that she has encountered live seafood brought by people with ice. Sometimes they can eat fresh sea fish or shrimp once a month.

As Jiang Ruyu adjusted to her new job, May arrived, and Zheng Yang was also a little less busy. On this day, when Jiang Ruyu got off work, Zheng Yang had already prepared dinner.

"I'm back. I came across some crucian carp for sale today, so I bought a few and made crucian carp and tofu soup. I'll have some to drink."

"Great! It's been a long time since I've had fish soup."

After washing her hands, Jiang Ruyu sat down, and her grandmother had already sat down as well. Old Mrs. Jiang was now used to eating at her grandson-in-law's house. Zheng Dali was an honest man and had no objection to his aunt-in-law eating at his house. This had been agreed upon from the beginning. Moreover, he was very satisfied with Jiang Ruyu as his daughter-in-law and would not nitpick on such matters.

As soon as Jiang Ruyu sat down, she called out to her father and grandmother. Zheng Yang then handed her a bowl filled with tofu and fish soup, saying, "Hurry up and drink some soup. This crucian carp is best enjoyed in soup."

Jiang Ruyu was about to take a sip of the milky white fish soup when a pungent fishy smell hit her, making her throat churn violently. She put down the bowl and ran to the sewer where she usually washed clothes to vomit.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone. Zheng Yang ran out to pat his wife's back and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better? What happened? Was the fish not fresh?"

Seeing that Jiang Ruyu was vomiting yellow fluid, he knew it was bile, which scared him so much that he wanted to carry his wife to the hospital.

Zheng Xiaoyue brought over a glass of water: "Sister-in-law, rinse your mouth first. This loquat smells quite good. Take a sniff and change your taste."

Zheng Dali paced anxiously to the side, but as a father-in-law, he couldn't very well step forward: "Is it a stomach upset or something you ate that upset your stomach?"

Grandma Jiang was initially startled, but then she suddenly remembered something. She picked up the bowl of fish soup, smelled it, and tasted it. There was nothing wrong with it; it was just a normal fishpond.

"Don't worry, Ruyu, come here, let me ask you something." Old Mrs. Jiang came out leaning on her cane.

Jiang Ruyu felt a bit better after eating a loquat. She stood up straight and looked at her grandmother with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong, Grandma?"

Grandma Jiang asked her softly, "How long has it been since you last had your period?"

Jiang Ruyu subconsciously thought for a moment: "Hmm, it seems like it's been a long time since I came. I was quite nervous during the company exam, and I slept late. I think I didn't come that month. Now it seems like it's been two months since I came? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with not coming?"
