"Really?"

Tao Man pinched his palm secretly, feeling the pain, and then squeezed out these words.

She actually has a good education and was once a favored child.

She had tried to find another job since she was fired more than ten years ago, but jobs were scarce, and even if they weren't, no one would hire her.

After suffering countless blows in succession, she finally gave up.

But with elderly and young children at home, she could only take on handicrafts like pasting matchboxes. It was time-consuming, eye-straining, and unprofitable.

She and her mother Ji Wanping worked together, and the whole family was barely able to eat half full.

After the children go to school, tuition, miscellaneous fees, and book fees are even more stretched.

Fortunately, my child is a hard-working person, always getting first place in exams. The school rewards him with pencils and notebooks as school supplies. He also participates in competitions and wins prizes to help pay for his tuition.

As a mother, she felt completely incompetent. She felt bad for her child, but there was nothing she could do.

After stumbling along like this for several years, this woman came to her door and said she wanted to give her a job.

She really didn't know how to react for a moment.

Ji Wanping was even more excited than Tao Man.

"Daughter, what's your name? Look, we don't have any sugar at home. I'll go borrow some and make you some sugar water."

Qin Zhiya said, "Aunt, my name is Qin Zhiya, you can just call me Zhiya. Please don't be polite, no sugary words needed. However, I still need to test Tao Man a little."

Then he turned to Tao Man and said, "My niece said you have a high level of education and used to be a journalist. So, why don't you try to solve the problems here?"

Qin Zhiya took out a piece of paper from her bag. On it were a few questions she had asked a reporter from the magazine to help her write before she came.

There are not many questions and they are not difficult either. They are just some of the daily work of journalists.

It includes news interviews, information collection, news writing, tracking, etc.

But it was enough to tell whether this person had really been a journalist. Besides, she was just looking for someone with some journalistic experience to work with her and handle things.

It's not really about doing journalistic work, this is enough.

Tao Man's knowledge was genuine. These questions were all basic, and she picked up the pen, her hands still trembling with excitement.

However, the things that have been engraved in my memory to realize my self-worth have never been forgotten, and the more I put my mind into it, the smoother my writing became.

After a while, several accounting practice questions were finished.

Qin Zhiya silently took out the answers she had given in advance and checked them. She got them all right and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's all correct!"

Tao Man looked at her nervously and asked cautiously, "So, does that mean you passed?"

Ji Wanping and Tao Nianlun's eyes were also full of anticipation.

The outcome of this matter is very important to their family.

Qin Zhiya nodded without hesitation and said, "I passed the assessment! But we still need to discuss the salary."

"To ensure everyone's enthusiasm for work, and given that this job may require some travel, our wages are higher than those of ordinary factory workers."

Tao Man waved his hand and said, "If you trust me, I'm willing to do it even if the salary is slightly lower. As long as it's enough to support my family, I can do it."

Qin Zhiya soothed him, "We won't discriminate. Salaries will be what they are."

"Do your job well, everyone is the same."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ji Wanping said excitedly, holding her daughter's hand. "You can finally go out and do something. You finally don't have to stay at home and make matchboxes anymore."

Tao Man patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, we will be fine in the future."

"Zhiya, you are a few years younger than me, so I will call you by your first name in private. Thank you so much. No matter what, you must stay for dinner today."

Qin Zhiya said, "You really don't need to thank me for this. It was my niece who recommended it to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered it. It's also our fate."

Tao Nianlun thought of Qin Jingning.

In fact, he was so focused in the exam room that he didn't even pay attention to what she looked like.

He knew that some people in school couldn't stand the fact that he was always at the top, and because of his background, they spread bad things about him everywhere.

But this girl not only did not believe it, but also tried to find a way to help him.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

Tao Man said, "Thank you so much, Nian Lun. Your two schools are not far from each other. If you have the chance, please invite her to our house for dinner."

Tao Nianlun nodded.

Qin Zhiya directly set Tao Man's salary at 50 yuan. If he went on a business trip, his travel expenses would be reimbursed, and he would also give a subsidy of a few yuan each time based on the distance.

The Tao Man family was very happy. Qin Zhiya declined the offer to stay for dinner and left. After all, most families nowadays don't have enough food to treat guests.

On top of that, Qin Zhiya still had to rent a house as an office and recruit other people. There were a lot of things to do.

I wish I could split one person into two people.

…

United States, Yu Yuan dormitory.

The table and the floor were covered with various parts.

Yu Yuan dismantled an old desktop computer two days ago to combine theoretical research on computer structure and maintenance.

He recorded every step in detail and went back after dismantling it.

Today I'm disassembling the second one, a different model.

My roommate is a student from another country who came to study in the United States. He was stunned by Yuan's actions these days.

The other students didn't have a very high level of English before studying abroad, so their first year was mainly spent learning the language. A lot of the class material was taught in English, so it was hard to understand.

I can only record as much as possible, and then translate and understand it after class.

Most international students only enter the state of learning and absorbing in the second year.

But Yu Yuan is different!

He was able to communicate normally in English on the first day of school. Not only that, the computer science vocabulary was not difficult for him to understand.

In other words, their ability to absorb courses is stronger than that of local students.

Not only that, outside of class, most international students would hang out with people from their own country, making friends, spending time together, and chatting.

But in fact, such gatherings are not very helpful because they use their own language, which leads to slow progress in English.

As for Yu Yuan, he was a complete exception. He spent almost all his time outside of class studying.

After learning what the instructor taught, I went to the library to study, or found a classroom to study with the books I brought.

As for the books he brought, several of his roommates and local American students came to take a look out of curiosity. They found that the books were not even in English, but in Chinese, which they could not understand at all.

Everyone just gave up.

Yu You couldn't help but laugh when he learned about this. Originally, these materials were translated from English. Now, only Yu Yuan could understand them, and no one in the US could!
