Chapter 192 A Little Calculation

Later, I even found it troublesome to respond, so I could only nod mechanically and stop any unnecessary communication.

Just as the two were approaching their destination, Jiang Yumin suddenly asked, "Sister Ruan, are you working now? Have you found a satisfactory position? Is this a good choice for you?"

The moment she heard this question, Ruan Chuxia's originally calm heart was gently stirred by an invisible hand, creating ripples.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that behind those seemingly insignificant and aimless words there was actually a carefully planned little calculation.

It was not until this moment that she truly realized that all the chatter from the beginning until now was just a clever preparation for this core issue.

That's the real intention.

She turned to look at Jiang Yumin, her gaze fixed on her, and saw her with an innocent smile on her face.

That smile was as pure and innocent as a flower blooming in spring, without any ulterior motives or hostility.

But if you look more closely, you can see a subtle hint of challenge deep in her eyes.

That vague look contained provocation and complacency, like a flickering fire in the dark night, which was about to go out, but still struggling to emit a faint light in the wind.

Ruan Chuxia remembered that Jiang Yumin's job was to show movies in a cinema.

A seemingly decent but not very busy job, where one can sit in the projection room and control the film, without being exposed to the wind and sun, or having to deal with the complicated human relationships.

In the future, this profession is not uncommon, but in this era, it is one of the "eight major positions" that everyone envies, and it is a good job that everyone is scrambling to do.

The so-called "Eight Major Members" are one of the eight positions recognized by society as decent and stable jobs. Not only do they have a stable iron rice bowl, but they can also often receive additional benefits within the unit.

Therefore, many people are trying their best to get such a job.

Maybe Jiang Yumin wanted to use this matter to put pressure on her.

With such an enviable official status, she can stand out arrogantly and show off her superiority, which invisibly exerts an oppressive psychological advantage on her.

Just as Ruan Chuxia guessed, Jiang Yumin did it on purpose.

On the surface, she pretended to be friendly and kind, but in fact, behind every word and expression was a carefully calculated malice, waiting for the moment when the other party would make a fool of themselves or feel embarrassed.

Doesn’t Guo Huaqin treat Ruan Chuxia like a treasure?

In Jiang Yumin's opinion, Ruan Chuxia is just a small character who relies on others for protection. Why can she get the care and favor of others?

So she had to break this window paper and make Guo Huaqin wake up.

Let her see clearly that the so-called Ruan Chuxia is actually an outsider who has no skills and has not even got a formal job.

Ruan Chuxia is just a country girl who can't even recognize a few words!

How could such a girl possibly be worthy of the perfect image that Jiang Yumin had imagined in her mind?

How can one be qualified to appear in those real elite circles?

The only person who truly deserves the position of Xiao family's daughter-in-law is Jiang Yumin!

Whether it is background, talent and appearance, or the work resources currently at hand, they are all impeccable, and only I am the most suitable choice.

"Yes, I work in the team's medical office."

Faced with Jiang Yumin's deliberate questioning and condescending attitude, Ruan Chuxia did not get angry or back down. Instead, she smiled calmly and responded softly, seemingly completely unaffected by the other party's emotions.

She saw through Jiang Yumin's little tricks, but chose to remain calm and overcome hardness with softness.

That attitude that appears polite on the surface but is actually indifferent actually makes one appear more restrained and powerful.

Movie projectionist sounds okay, but it's still a far cry from a doctor.

One is responsible for entertaining the public, while the other is a sacred profession of saving the dying and maintaining life. The difference between them is self-evident.

Jiang Yumin felt uncomfortable. The confidence she had in winning just now was now poured with a bucket of cold water.

He originally thought he could easily gain the upper hand, but a simple answer easily neutralized the offensive and even highlighted the relative inadequacy of his own status.

A stiff smile appeared on her face, and a hint of displeasure and surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a hint of contempt.

The collapse of her inner sense of superiority made her feel a little irritable and dissatisfied, and she even began to question whether her abilities were really as impeccable as she imagined.

She worked hard to get into the job as a projectionist and was not just a vain woman with a pretty face.

Everyone must remember this.

But what about Ruan Chuxia’s job as a doctor?

Most likely, Xiao Zhiyu used his connections to get her in.

She didn't believe that a country girl who couldn't even read a few words could be hired by a regular medical clinic.

"Wow! Doctor!"

She opened her eyes wide in pretended surprise, "Sister Ruan, can you also help me check my body?"

Ruan Chuxia knew exactly what Jiang Yumin was thinking, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Of course, but I'm the deputy director there, and I have to charge a consultation fee for seeing patients."

Jiang Yumin was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Deputy, deputy director?

She originally thought that Ruan Chuxia was just doing odd jobs or helping out in the infirmary, but who knew that she had become the deputy director!

How is this possible?

Even if Xiao Zhiyu had some background and connections, he wouldn't be able to help a village girl sit in such a position!

So, could it be that...

Does Ruan Chuxia really have some real skills?

Her expression froze slightly, and her smile seemed forced. She was just about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

At this moment, Guo Huaqin suddenly interrupted, "Xiao Ruan, this counter looks good. If you have time, you can go over and see if there's anything you like."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chuxia turned her head and looked towards the shop.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s a foreign company!

The so-called foreign companies refer to some specialty stores opened by foreigners in China. Such stores are extremely rare, but the goods sold in each store are extremely exquisite and of excellent quality, and the prices are naturally not cheap.

And this was one of Ruan Chuxia’s favorite places to visit in her previous life.

Soon, her eyes were attracted by a snow-white short cashmere top.

This dress adopts a simple and elegant round neck design, the waist is cleverly tightened, and the hem is curled up like an unfolded lotus leaf. It is both unique and has a bit of a lively atmosphere. It looks both fashionable and textured.

A seemingly ordinary top seemed to radiate light in her eyes.

This was exactly the kind of clothing she had always dreamed of.

After trying them on, Guo Huaqin picked out a thin tweed long skirt for her to match.

This long skirt has a simple cut and soft texture. It fits the body without being too restrictive, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament.

After she put on the long dress completely, she slowly turned around in front of the mirror. The hem of the dress fluttered gently in the air and fell back into place as she moved, as if with some kind of rhythmic beauty.
