Shen Jia frowned slightly, her gaze turning somewhat displeased as she looked at the naive, pampered young lady. Her tone was tinged with helplessness and bitterness as she spoke:

"My older brother's job as a mail carrier was hard-won; he had to go through a lot of trouble and ask many relatives for help before he finally got it! It's completely different from working in the food factory!"

Besides, you know our family's situation. We just bought this job for my brother, which almost used up all our savings. For a worker in a food factory, 600 yuan is more than enough.

In reality, she knew very well that her brother's job was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.

Just the gifts and favors spent to smooth things over with all the connections alone amounted to more than 1,200 yuan!

After all, being a postman was a highly sought-after job back then, with a long line of people waiting in line.

Zheng Yawen was well aware of the Shen family's financial situation. For an ordinary dual-income family like theirs, it was indeed not easy to come up with such a large sum of money all at once.

Moreover, the fact that Shen Jia's parents went to such lengths to help their daughter buy a job already shows how much they love her.

If it were other parents, who had just reluctantly spent 1,000 yuan to arrange a job for their son, the idea of ​​having to raise money to buy a job for their daughter would be a complete fantasy, something they wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Although she really wanted to help Xia Wan, Zheng Yawen knew very well that 600 yuan was already a pretty good price to buy an ordinary worker's job.

If this job opportunity were sold to anyone else, it would probably fetch the same price at most.

Just then, Xia Wan looked up and met Zheng Yawen's eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, we haven't completed the onboarding procedures yet, so let's go and do it together now."

When she was in Suzhou, the office job left by her adoptive mother had become a temporary job when she was asked to take over.

Even so, she eventually managed to resell it for 700 yuan and some receipts.

After some calculation, the total amount reached approximately 900 yuan.

In comparison, Xia Wan is quite satisfied that she can now sell this ordinary worker's position for 600 yuan.

It wasn't until she went to complete the formalities that Xia Wan learned that Zheng Yawen's mother was actually the director of the personnel department of the food factory!

No wonder she always manages to get such excellent information.

Not long after, Shen Jia quickly returned home to retrieve the necessary money. Then, they rushed back to the food factory to meet with Xia Wan and work together to complete the various procedures for the handover of work.

During this period, Zheng Yawen's mother naturally provided a lot of help, which is why the entire handover process went exceptionally smoothly.

Ultimately, since the onboarding registration and other procedures haven't been fully completed yet, and it only requires changing information such as the names of relevant personnel, there weren't many difficult problems encountered in the process.

While they were processing the job transfer procedures, the exam results from the branch factory were already out.

When Xia Wan was hurriedly pulled over by Zheng Yawen to check the results, she couldn't find her name on the list.

However, she didn't feel disappointed.

After all, she knew that no one is perfect and that she was not omnipotent.

Moreover, in the previous exam, she had only completed half of the questions on the test paper.

Initially, Xia Wan placed all her hopes on the meticulously prepared pastry recipe, but now, judging from the results, perhaps the value and significance of that recipe is not enough to attract the attention and concern of the food factory leaders.

At this moment, Zheng Yawen, who was standing to the side, held Xia Wan's hand tightly with a look of disappointment and said, "It's such a pity! You didn't pass the assessment for this job. If you had passed, you might have been able to resell this job for a good price."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Zheng Yawen.

Through the other person's sincere eyes, she could clearly feel that this girl was genuinely sorry for her.

Xia Wan gently shook her head, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she replied, "Actually, it's not a pity at all. On the contrary, I think I've been quite lucky this time."

Besides, even if I didn't get the job, I still made money, right? Okay, don't think about it too much. Come on, how about I treat you to a meal?"

It has to be said that Xia Wan had a genuine fondness for this kind-hearted, simple-minded, and warm-hearted girl in front of her.

Zheng Yawen shook her head vigorously, waving her hands as she said, "Oh no, no, how can I let you treat me to a meal! Besides, I just finished lunch not long ago, and my stomach is still full. I'm not hungry at all!"

Xia Wan smiled slightly, gently raised her hand, and very naturally took out a few beautifully packaged White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket. She then handed them to Zheng Yawen and said softly:

"Okay, since you don't want lunch, I'll treat you to a candy first. I really have to thank you for your help in selling this job so smoothly. Thank you!"

This time, Zheng Yawen did not refuse, but happily accepted the White Rabbit milk candies.

She looked at the candy in her hand with delight, muttering, "Wow, it's White Rabbit milk candy! This is so..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him.

"Comrade Xia Wan... wait..." The voice came from afar and sounded somewhat urgent.

At this moment, Xia Wan and Zheng Yawen were walking hand in hand toward the door, preparing to leave together.

Upon hearing the shout, Xia Wan couldn't help but feel puzzled. She stopped and slowly turned around, only to see the HR staff member who had helped them with the job transfer procedures running towards them, panting heavily.

The man ran while shouting Xia Wan's name and waving his arms, as if he had encountered a very urgent situation.

"What happened?" Zheng Yawen asked nervously, grabbing Xia Wan's arm.

Xia Wan shook her head in confusion, her gaze towards the HR colleague equally puzzled.
