Chapter 121 The Power of the Five Elements
She blinked, and the next second, she saw the transparent flame in her palm, which was originally a little bigger than her thumb, suddenly turn bright red as if it had fallen into a dye vat, and quickly expand to the size of a fist. Yunxi felt that it was about the same size as the crystal core she had just held in her hand.
The case is solved; it was that incredibly fast guy again.
Seeing that it looked like it was about to burst, Yunxi said helplessly, "If you want it, just tell me. Why did you do it without saying a word, and swallowed several in one go? Are you overeaten? Do you want to spit them out first?"
The flame, which had gained a lot of weight, wiggled its round body happily. "No, no, I can eat it. It's just that this is very pure Five Elements Origin Power, but I'm in a relatively weak state right now and can't absorb it all at once. I think I'm about to advance. I'll go back to my dantian first."
Then the chubby red ball suddenly burrowed back into Yunxi's dantian. Yunxi wanted to ask more questions, but when she looked into her dantian, she found that the fire ball had already fallen asleep, so she had to give up.
It turned out that this crystal core contained the power of the five elements. She finally remembered why it was so familiar. It was because she had seen related information in the Scripture Pavilion before, and her father had also given her a fire spirit essence before.
Thinking of her father, who used to be so good to her, but later became so blind and easily swayed by others because of her junior sister's appearance, and the mess within the sect, Yunxi shook her head. It was time to go back to the sect and take a look.
However, she first sent a message to Ning Xuan, saying that since this crystal core was useful to the fire group and had a very good effect, then of course the more the better.
Upon seeing Yunxi's message, Ningxuan immediately said she would keep an eye on it.
She is now planning to go to Jiang Xiaohong and tell her about the job in the provincial capital, to see if she wants to go there to work.
She deliberately chose the noon time, which happened to be Jiang Xiaohong's lunch break. She didn't plan to stay any longer, but just wanted to let her know the news first. The letter of introduction for the job in the provincial capital was valid for 3 months, which was quite a lot of time.
"Ning Xuan, what brings you here?" Jiang Xiaohong was quite surprised and happy to see Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan smiled and said, "It just so happens that we're not too busy these past two days, but we'll be busy for a while after the harvest."
Jiang Xiaohong understood. "Wait here for me. I'm going to the cafeteria to get food. We'll chat in my dorm later."
Ning Xuan didn't plan to stay any longer, fearing it would disturb Jiang Xiaohong's afternoon nap, and reminded Jiang Xiaohong, "I've already eaten, so don't hit me."
However, when Jiang Xiaohong returned, Ning Xuan found that she had taken more food than she should have.
Jiang Xiaohong said happily, "You're so lucky! The cafeteria has meat today. You can only get one serving of meat, but I got an extra serving of rice and other dishes. Why don't you eat some with me and try our cafeteria chef's cooking?"
Ning Xuan gently patted Jiang Xiaohong, "I told you not to hit me so much, but you never listen."
Ning Xuan knew that Jiang Xiaohong's excuse of letting her try her cooking was just that—an excuse. Jiang Xiaohong actually just wanted to seize any opportunity to repay Ning Xuan. Ning Xuan later discovered that Jiang Xiaohong had somehow found out that she was the one who saved her.
However, seeing that Jiang Xiaohong didn't tell her directly, she pretended not to know that she knew her secret identity had been exposed, and the two of them treated each other as friends they met later.
Ning Xuan took the lid of another lunchbox, scooped out some food, and ate a few bites.
"I actually came here this time to talk to you about something. I have a job in the provincial capital, in a food factory, working in the office. I think you'd be a good fit. Would you like to transfer to the provincial capital?" Ning Xuan said while eating.
Compared to the commune, the job in the provincial capital is definitely more promising, and there will be more opportunities if you stay in the big city.
But surprisingly, Jiang Xiaohong refused without even thinking twice:
"Ning Xuan, thank you for thinking of me when something good happened, but I don't want to go to the provincial capital."
"Why? Don't you want to be too far from home? But your family..." Ning Xuan recalled Jiang Xiaohong's family's attitude towards her and couldn't quite believe that she was so reluctant to leave her family.
Jiang Xiaohong shook her head. "Now my family doesn't urge me to find a partner and get married anymore, and things are much quieter. But it's not that I'm afraid of living far from home."
I just feel that after I go to the provincial capital, no one will know me. They will know that I am unmarried and have a job, so there will definitely be a lot of people introducing me to potential partners.
"Besides, the provincial capital is so big, unlike here where everyone knows each other and gossip spreads very quickly. My reputation as a 'brother-supporting demon' is quite well-known in the commune, but it won't be so easy for that reputation to spread in the provincial capital."
Ning Xuan suddenly realized, and then felt very sorry for Jiang Xiaohong. This girl must have some psychological trauma. If nothing unexpected happens, she really doesn't plan to get married in this life.
After listening to Jiang Xiaohong's analysis, Ning Xuan understood her concerns, and her thinking was correct. If Jiang Xiaohong went to the provincial capital alone, it would be more troublesome if she encountered any problems.
Thinking of this, Ning Xuan gave up the idea of persuading Jiang Xiaohong and respected Jiang Xiaohong's choice.
However, since Jiang Xiaohong isn't going, she can sell the job.
"Then can you help me keep track of whether anyone in the commune wants to buy my job? I'll sell my job in the provincial capital."
Jiang Xiaohong actually thought of someone: their factory director's niece, who had been assigned to the workshop.
Jiang Xiaohong only heard about it after she had gotten to know her colleagues well. It turned out that her position was originally intended for the factory director's niece, but on the day of the exam, she was a dark horse and ended up eliminating the factory director's niece.
Jiang Xiaohong heard that the factory director had been waiting for an opportunity to transfer his niece from the workshop to the office. Personnel officer Xiao Liu had also hinted to her that her promotion might be delayed; some of her contemporaries had been promoted in six months, but it might take her a year or two.
“I know someone might want to buy it, but I’m not sure if she’d be willing to go to the provincial capital.” Then Jiang Xiaohong told him about the factory director’s niece.
Ning Xuan immediately grasped the key point, "So, with this job, aren't you worried about the factory manager and the others making things difficult for you? What if they transfer you to another place to make room for someone with connections? Why don't you go to the provincial capital?"
Jiang Xiaohong had actually forgotten about this question, but now that she remembered it, she was still a little hesitant. "I've been working here for so long, and I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who deliberately made things difficult for me. Our factory manager seems to be alright."
Ning Xuan listened and thought for a while, then said, "Why don't you go and talk to the factory manager's niece about this job, and ask her to be promoted to a permanent position early? That way your job will be secure."
