Ye Linchen's eyes widened suddenly: "What opportunity? Brother Gu, what kind of opportunity are you talking about?"
Gu Jingran smiled and said, "I have a classmate who owns an advertising company and is currently recruiting public relations staff."
"Public relations?"
Ye Linchen repeated the word, and suddenly became interested.
She had heard of this job in her previous life; it gradually emerged in the 1990s and was considered a new profession.
It can be roughly divided into three directions.
One type is external, mainly responsible for maintaining the company's image, communicating with the media, promoting the company, and handling crisis public relations when the company faces negative news; another type is internal, responsible for coordinating internal relationships, similar to human resources and administrative logistics in later generations; and yet another type helps the company attract investment and find sponsors to raise funds for company activities and projects.
Ye Linchen was most interested in the third direction.
Because this type of work is commission-based, there is generally no base salary.
However, the hours are flexible; there's no need to sit in an office or clock in.
Similar to a salesperson.
You have complete control over your working hours, and you can earn a substantial commission as long as you secure sponsorships.
It's perfect for her current situation.
"Can I give it a try?" Ye Linchen asked eagerly.
Gu Jingran nodded: "Of course you can go after the Spring Festival."
He then asked, "Have you prepared a resume?"
Ye Linchen shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.
In her previous life, her father, Ye Zhenghua, arranged for her to work in factories. She didn't need a resume at all and knew nothing about how to write one.
Moreover, she has no work experience to write, and her educational background can only be listed as high school dropout.
These were the biggest obstacles in her job search.
Gu Jingran saw her with her head down and her face flushed, and suddenly found her shy appearance quite cute, so he couldn't help but smile.
He coughed lightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "Are you free in your third year of junior high? Why don't you come to my company first, and I'll teach you how to make a resume?"
Ye Linchen looked up, delighted, and said, "I have time! Thank you, Brother Gu!"
Gu Jingran then wrote down the company's address for Ye Linchen and arranged a time.
He told her in detail how to take the bus, which stop to get off at, and how to get to his company after getting off the bus.
“Our company is called Jiangcheng Jinghong Technology Co., Ltd. I’ll give you the office phone number too. If you can’t find it, just call me,” Gu Jingran instructed anxiously.
The two walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the alley in Ye Linchen's dormitory area.
"Let's leave it here. It's all residential buildings inside, so it's very safe," Ye Linchen said.
"Okay, be careful." Gu Jingran stopped in his tracks.
"Thank you, Brother Gu." Ye Linchen waved goodbye to Gu Jingran.
With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Ye Linchen walked briskly home, humming a tune as she did so.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Linchen woke up just as dawn was breaking.
After getting up, washing up, and having a simple breakfast, she went out for a jog along the river.
The mornings in the 1990s were fresh and crisp, though the biting chill made them all the more invigorating.
After finishing his run, Ye Linchen returned home and took out his English textbook to start studying.
English is the subject she needs to improve the most; she must persist every day and cannot slack off.
As she recited, she scribbled and drew in her notebook to aid her understanding and memorization.
After memorizing the English text, Ye Linchen took out his Chinese textbook and recited a classical Chinese text.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Linchen took his identification documents and set off for Gu Jingran's company.
Gu Jingran's company is located in the newly built development zone of Jiangcheng City, which is far from the steel plant's residential area, requiring a bus transfer.
Today was my first day back at work, and the bus was extremely crowded.
Ye Linchen didn't rest on the way. He held onto the handrail with one hand and clutched his vocabulary book with the other, reviewing what he had memorized that morning to reinforce his memory.
The journey wasn't too difficult.
The closer they got to the development zone, the emptier the bus became. By the time they were almost there, Ye Linchen had even managed to get a seat.
Those who go to work in the development zone are all young people in their early twenties, many of whom have accents from other places. They are all energetic, vigorous, and full of vitality.
When Ye Linchen saw them, it was as if he saw his own future.
After she graduates from university, she will find her place in an emerging industry and start a new life, just like them.
After getting off the bus, Ye Linchen walked for a while before finally finding Gu Jingran's company: Jiangcheng Jinghong Technology Co., Ltd.
Gu Jingran's company is quite large, occupying half of a floor hallway.
When Ye Linchen arrived, there were still fifteen minutes until the agreed time of nine o'clock. Through the glass window, he could see Gu Jingran making a phone call in his office.
Ye Linchen didn't go in to disturb them, but waited in the corridor.
After standing there for a while, another door in the company opened, and a young boy walked out.
Ye Linchen looked closely and realized that it was Gu Yifei, whom she did not want to see!
Gu Yifei clearly hadn't expected to run into her here, and asked with an unfriendly expression, "What are you doing here?"
Before Ye Linchen could answer, Gu Yifei frowned and questioned, "Why didn't you go home for the New Year? Do you know that Uncle Ye and Aunt Meng had a huge fight because of you!"
On New Year's Eve, Gu Yifei and a few friends went to the Ye family to ask Meng Zihan to set off fireworks, but what they saw was a desolate and bleak scene.
Aunt Meng sat alone on the sofa, silently shedding tears, while Meng Zihan gently comforted her.
When she saw him arrive, Aunt Meng stopped crying, got up to pour him water, and even asked Meng Zihan to accompany him to set off fireworks.
