Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoli's gaze turned strange, and her expression became as one of utter disdain as Ke Bing's. She grew increasingly worried that Zhao Xuerou might have gone mad from the test. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, tilted her head, and looked utterly speechless.
Ke Bing, who was looking at the roses behind her, straightened up, walked up to Zhao Xuerou, took out a card from her pocket, and showed it to her.
"Can you be normal for once, Sister Rou? What kind of melodramatic nonsense is filling your head all day? I suspect you're reading novels like 'The CEO Falls in Love with Me' or 'The Arrogant Wolf Dog Falls in Love with Me' on your phone every day."
After she finished speaking, Luo Xiaoli next to her was stunned. She pouted as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything and remained silent.
Xiao Rou saw the identical cards Ke Bing was holding and racked her brains again. After careful consideration, she looked up again and said solemnly, "Xiao Bing, although I used to hate you, that hatred has faded over time. I didn't expect you to be so spineless. If that's the case, as your sister, I'll cut ties with you. I didn't expect you to be bought off with just a card... What happened to our grand plan, our vow to seduce our roommate's boyfriend?"
She grabbed Ke Bing's hand and earnestly advised, "Is money really that important? Compared to pure love, it's worthless. I despise money the most. Don't let her buy you off, or I'll really be lonely."
“Ah, me…” Xiao Bing pointed to herself.
"You don't need to say anything, I understand. It's okay to be blinded by money for a while, just wake up in time, okay?"
Ke Bing was stunned by what he was being said.
Xiao Rou grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently, "Wake up! Wake up! We don't want her money!"
"Stop, stop, stop! What is this? This is a benefit the Federation gives to students. Since you didn't go to class today, I'm giving it to you on behalf of your advisor. We have a holiday tomorrow and the day after, so we can use this card to spend money in the nearest city. It's not some kind of bribe."
"Really?" Zhao Xuerou was completely dumbfounded after learning the truth. She realized what nonsense she had been spouting.
Why would I lie to you? Would I be that bored?
How much is in that card?
"100,000 per person."
"100,000???" Xiaorou gasped. "I've never seen so much pocket money in my life."
"From now on, there will be weekly pay, which will be considered as wages for serving in the federal government."
After hearing this, she felt even more dizzy. She reached out to Ke Bing for support, burying her head in her arms and nuzzling against her, wondering if this was real or a dream. Gone was the fearless spirit she had just displayed, who had treated money like dirt. Her eyes gleamed as she took the bank card from Luo Xiaoli's hand, stuffing it into her pocket like a precious treasure, muttering to herself, "When I'm rich and in high society, I'll be eating nothing but dumpling soup every day."
Indeed, this is the case. With countless powerful nations as their backers, the Federation's weekly salary of $100,000 for these service students is nothing, just a drop in the ocean. Because they have passed the assessments and possess the basic skills to fight invaders, they have truly become members of the Federation, meaning they have transitioned from trainees to full-time employees.
Ke Bing then told Zhao Xuerou, "Also, tomorrow morning, after we get up, we need to find our advisor to sign some documents. This document is very important. After finishing our work in the Federation and returning to China, we can use this contract to obtain employment qualifications from any company except Kyoto. If we don't want the employment qualifications, we can ask for a property there. We can also use this to directly obtain a university diploma and graduate early."
Yes, this was one of the "various generous terms" offered by the university when recruiting students long before they came to the Federation.
Adhering to the principle of "never making empty promises," the federal government began distributing benefits on the very night the assessment ended.
The practice of using slogans like "Strive for society, strive for the company, and realize self-worth" to engage in psychological manipulation is absolutely not the style of the Federation.
······
This day was undoubtedly the happiest day of Zhao Xuerou's life. She truly felt her own worth and experienced the satisfaction of achieving something through hard work. She remembered how she used to use her beauty to charm male classmates, who would pursue her relentlessly, showering her with attention and showering her with attention, giving her a sense of vanity and the privilege of being the center of attention. That past experience was nothing compared to what she was experiencing now. Life always needs goals to pursue; the scope of one's spirit can be broad or narrow. One's perspective determines one's life and oneself. Indulging in vanity is undeniably naive and laughable for someone with a tranquil and serene heart.
She is also breaking free of her cocoon, yearning to become a butterfly.
Back in the dorm, facing the empty dormitory area, Xiaorou felt a bit lonely. Ke Bing and Luo Xiaoli had both gone to wash up, leaving her alone pacing back and forth, her hair a mess, unable to calm down. Holding her bank card, she kept checking it, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise, finding everything too incredible.
She clicked her tongue and sat cross-legged on the bed, then stood up excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.
When Xiao Li and Ke Bing returned, she eagerly went over to them and asked, "Do you think we should commemorate such an important day?"
"What are we commemorating?"
How to commemorate it?
Both of them were completely baffled.
"It's about doing things you would never normally do; that's what makes it more meaningful!"
Ke Bing scratched his head and pointed towards the toilet in the dormitory. "You would never normally do this? Then go and poop standing up. I guarantee you'll remember it for life."
