Chapter 407 Are they here to cause trouble?
Qiao Yue was a little unhappy. She said sullenly, "It's only 20,000 yuan. After all these years, don't you even have 20,000 yuan in savings?"
"Yueyue, your dad and mom raised you two. Doesn't it cost money to raise you? Don't worry, Dad said he'd buy it for you, and he definitely will. Don't be angry."
"Okay, I'll wait a few more days. Oh, by the way, I'm out of living expenses. Could you transfer me another two thousand yuan?"
Qiao Hong frowned. "Didn't I already give you your living expenses this month?"
"Oh dear, I need to buy some things. You know, girls tend to spend more. I only bought some cosmetics, and I haven't bought any clothes yet. Dad, could you transfer some money to me? I know you're the best, please, I promise I'll be more careful with my money this time."
Qiao Hong frantically grabbed at his hair, which made his already thin hair even thinner.
"Okay, you wait."
Qiao Hong hung up the phone and transferred 2,000 yuan to his daughter via WeChat. He then received a text message from his bank card indicating the deduction.
The current account balance is 36,000.
He saved up 36,000 yuan by living frugally.
They seem very successful, with the couple earning a combined monthly salary of over 30,000 yuan. However, the monthly living expenses for their two children alone amount to 8,000 yuan, and that's still not enough.
After deducting food, drink, and other necessities, plus the monthly mortgage payment of 6,000 yuan, gas, meals, and other miscellaneous expenses, it's good if I can save 2,000 yuan a month.
Just like the university Qiao Yue attended, which is for music, it's incredibly expensive.
His only consolation now is that his son will graduate soon.
But things will be even harder after graduation. After graduation, he will have to find a girlfriend and get married. They still have more than ten years of mortgage payments left on the house they live in, and they will need to buy a house for their son's wedding.
Just thinking about all this made Qiao Hong feel breathless.
No matter how harsh the company was on him, he had to endure it.
No matter how badly Wang Qin treated him, he still shamelessly went to see her, mainly to confirm whether Qiao Xing's husband was really a rich young master.
Qiao Hong ran a couple more handfuls of her hair, composed herself, and went to the hospital.
Wang Qin bought groceries and cooked a lavish lunch. There were only two of them eating, yet she still made so much.
"This is too much. Wouldn't it be a waste if we couldn't finish it?"
Wang Qin kept piling food onto her plate, saying, "It's okay, if you can't finish it, save it for dinner. You just eat yours and don't worry about it."
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you found a job yet?"
Where did she get the money to buy groceries?
Wang Qin understood what she meant and said with a smile, "I still have some wages from my previous job, enough to buy groceries, so please eat as much as you like."
She was worried about Lin Xi going to school before, but now that Lin Xi is attending school normally, she feels much more relaxed.
Qiao Xing nodded, no longer standing on ceremony, picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Wang Qin's cooking skills are quite good; her dishes are very appetizing, and Qiao Xing ate two large bowls in one go.
"He who eats another's food is bound to him," Qiao Xing thought, wanting to do something. Since Wang Qin was going to look for a job that afternoon, and Qiao Xing had nothing else to do, he went with her.
She used to work in factories, but they didn't want her. Now she works in restaurants.
Two restaurants were hiring dishwashers and general helpers. When she went for the interview, they asked her to take off her mask. As soon as the manager saw the scar on her face, his expression showed his rejection.
"Go look elsewhere, we've already filled all our positions here."
Jobs are hard to find these days. Even dishwashers have a lot of applicants. They have no trouble finding people, so why would they hire an ugly person and ruin their mood at work?
Despite being rejected so many times, Wang Qin didn't seem too upset. She simply said sorry and prepared to leave.
But Qiao Xing suddenly stepped forward and said to the manager, "Manager, do you think I'm up to the task? I can wash dishes much faster than those aunties."
"You're also applying for a dishwasher job?"
"Is that not allowed?"
The manager looked Qiao Xing up and down. She had a pure and innocent appearance, like a recent college graduate. The manager couldn't help but reveal his secret delight, and his smile was a little lewd.
“I could make an exception and hire you, but there’s only one spot available, and the person next to you… I’m afraid that won’t do.”
Qiao Xing finally understood; these people really only cared about looks. She continued, "But I just saw a sign outside saying they're hiring waitresses. Could I go and work as a waitress and have her wash the dishes?"
The manager hesitated for a moment, but only for two seconds, before replying, "It's not impossible."
"If that's possible, then why did you refuse earlier? Do you consider looks when washing dishes here?"
The manager choked for a moment, his face darkening. He said sternly, "I only hired you because you're young and quick. What do you mean by that? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"No, I'm just confused. You wrote that there are no age restrictions for people over 18, but you just thought she was too old. It seems that your store has too high a threshold for hiring, and we are not qualified."
After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he turned around and pulled Wang Qin out.
The manager behind her was furious and hurled insults, but Qiao Xing pretended not to hear him.
After coming out, Wang Qin had a very complicated expression. She was very touched that Qiao Xing was able to help her get revenge.
"Xingxing, you don't need to do this. If you anger those people, you'll be the one who suffers."
Qiao Xing gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I didn't say anything."
Not everyone is like Qin Ce, who would resort to violence if he didn't like something.
Wang Qin sighed with worry, regretting that she hadn't brought her along.
"Xingxing, please don't do that again later."
"knew."
Although she has never called her "Mom" yet, their relationship is much more amicable than before, which gives Wang Qin a lot of motivation.
She went to the next restaurant, and this time the restaurant was really full, because when she came in, the lady in front of her had just finished her job interview and left.
The two spent the whole afternoon looking for work on the nearby streets, but couldn't find any.
Qiao Xing suddenly suggested, "Why don't you go and look for Xiao Xi? Although it's far from where you live, it's close to Xiao Xi, so you can pick her up after school on your way."
Wang Qin hesitated for a moment, "Your place is so prosperous, would they want me there?"
"Go and see for yourself. If you don't want to, just go help your cousin sell barbecue. It's not a big deal."
Wang Qin thought about it and agreed with Qiao Xing's suggestion. The two took a bus to Yuehua Street.
This place is now almost in the city. Qiao Xing took a walk around and found that there were indeed many job openings, but most of the positions were not suitable for her.
Suddenly, Qiao Xing stopped in front of a cake shop.
"They're hiring cleaners here, want to give it a try?"
"Go, go ask them." Wang Qin was intimidated by the high-end store, but didn't want to disappoint Qiao Xing's good intentions.
