Chapter 297 A Passerby in the World of Professional Challenges 17
After three months, Jiang Yue left the island and retrieved most of her belongings. It seemed that Jiang Yue's next challenge had changed, and she might not be an island keeper anymore. What she would do next was still undecided, and she was currently waiting for further notice. It was rumored that there had been some gossip recently saying that Jiang Yue was having too much free time.
Jiang Yue also read the online comments. It seems that her arrival has caused some butterfly effects. This job change situation was originally only for the main character. After resting at home for two days, Jiang Yue went to the production team. They needed to meet after the first stage was completed and to explain the goals for the next stage.
After arriving at the production team's location, a cocktail party was held that evening, mainly to introduce the contestants to each other. After three months apart, the hundred contestants had formed their own small circles. Jiang Yue didn't try to join in; she wasn't particularly interested in it. She simply found a quiet spot and observed them silently.
The next morning, the production team started talking to the contestants in order of their rankings. Jiang Yue was ranked 13th after the first stage. When it was her turn, the staff took her to a meeting room, and the production team got straight to the point, saying that after consideration, she could no longer serve as the island guard.
The production team explained the specific reasons, but Jiang Yue neither confirmed nor denied them. They stated that they had made an agreement with Jiang Yue at the beginning of the program that such special circumstances might arise, and the outcome was uncertain; they would make a decision based on the situation three months later.
Finally, the production team gave Jiang Yue two options: one was to arrange a job for her, since she was studying accounting, and they would arrange for her to study in the production team's finance department; the other was to give her some compensation and then have her withdraw from the competition.
Jiang Yue asked how much compensation she would receive. The compensation wasn't much, so after thinking about it, she chose the second option. Jiang Yue's choice was different from what the production team had expected. This choice surprised them. They thought Jiang Yue would choose a different profession like the main character. However, what they didn't know was that the main character needed the production team to provide a popularity lottery, but Jiang Yue didn't.
After giving half of the money earned in the first three months to the production team, Jiang Yue still had tens of millions left. This money was more than enough for her to spend, so why would she continue to work like a slave? With the initial capital in hand, making money was incredibly easy for Jiang Yue.
The production team was stunned when Jiang Yue chose to withdraw from the competition. The show had been running for three seasons, and this was the first contestant to choose to withdraw, especially one of the top-ranked contestants. If Jiang Yue left, who knows what the outside world would think? There were already some people within the production team who disagreed with changing Jiang Yue's profession. She was doing well, and you insisted on interfering. Look, now that she's quit, what are you going to do?
Several groups of people tried to persuade Jiang Yue not to give up so easily. In the end, they even compromised and asked her to continue working as an island keeper. Jiang Yue smiled and thought, "How could they go back on their word? Do they think I'm reluctant to leave the island? Although I am a little reluctant, it's not a restricted area. I can go there whenever I want even if I'm not on the show."
After final negotiations, the production team agreed not to take a cut of the gift money and to double the compensation. In return, Jiang Yue said that she had voluntarily withdrawn from the competition, which she readily agreed to. Since her poor health had already been exposed, she took some time to get a medical check-up. With Bai Ze's assistance, she easily obtained the medical report she wanted.
Before the second stage began, Jiang Yue announced her withdrawal from the competition and also posted her medical examination report. Although her fans were very disappointed, there was nothing they could do because her health did not allow it. But this matter did not end there. It should be noted that it was stated from the beginning that this program was not organized by any company, but was organized by a state-owned enterprise.
After Jiang Yue withdrew from the competition, although most fans were rational, there were also conspiracy theorists, and quite a few of them. As the discussion grew, the production team moved in to form an oversight team. It turned out that some of the team members had indeed been bribed. Because of this incident, the rules for the fourth season were changed. At the same time, the oversight team also came to Jiang Yue's door to inquire whether she had been treated unfairly.
Jiang Yue herself didn't think so. She was just trying to fulfill a small dream of the original owner. The original owner's main purpose in participating in the show was to make money. Once she had made the money, she could retire successfully. So she told the truth and said that she had been given a choice but didn't want to participate anymore.
What did Jiang Yue do after withdrawing from the competition? She was busy renovating the island. She spent a sum of money to rebuild the cottage and then added a photovoltaic power generation system. The renovation didn't actually cost much. The raw materials weren't expensive, and with the decline in consumption these days, labor was also cheap. She only spent a few hundred thousand yuan to get everything done. She also bought a second-hand workboat while she was at it.
Before leaving, Brother Zhang and his wife gave Jiang Yue a large amount of seafood. Since there was so much seafood and it was a token of Brother Zhang's goodwill, Jiang Yue accepted it without hesitation. After finishing their business, Jiang Yue and her family went home. Her younger sister took the ointment that Jiang Yue had prepared to school, and Jiang Yue's parents also resigned from their jobs.
Jiang's mother's resignation went smoothly because her job was easily replaceable. However, Jiang's father encountered some difficulties. The boss of Jiang's father's company knew that Jiang Yue was his daughter. Just as Jiang's father was having cash flow problems, the boss asked him if he wanted to buy the factory when he resigned.
Mr. Jiang knew the factory's profitability. Selling it to someone else would take time and the price would be driven down. So the factory manager asked Mr. Jiang if he wanted to buy it. If he bought it, there wouldn't be much change in personnel. The old customers were very stable, and although the annual profit wasn't much, earning several hundred thousand a year wouldn't be a problem.
Jiang's father was somewhat tempted and discussed it with Jiang Yue. The three of them discussed it, which was essentially to get Jiang Yue's consent, since the money was hers. Jiang Yue had the puppet investigate, and the situation was the same as what the factory manager had said. So she paid for it. After signing the contract, the handover was quick. Although Jiang's father didn't raise everyone's wages, not many people resigned. It wasn't that he didn't want to raise wages; the annual profit was so low that raising wages wouldn't make any money.
Originally, the family was planning to go on a trip, but this matter delayed it. So, Jiang's mother decided to wait until her younger sister's vacation started before going on the trip. Jiang's father was busy at the factory, and Jiang's mother and Jiang Yue were looking at houses these days. The house they lived in was old and dilapidated, an old building from more than 60 years ago. Now that they had money, it was time to move to a better one.
During the time she was looking for a house, Jiang Yue was not idle. She released a few puppets to make money and also gave away the technology gift package. She spent a few days buying a top-floor house with a terrace. As for the disadvantages of the top floor, they were not a problem for Jiang Yue. The house had already been renovated, and Jiang Yue only needed to do the soft furnishings.
Jiang Yue entrusted the renovation to Bai Ze to solve problems such as leaks, cold in winter and hot in summer. These problems would be troublesome for others, and even if they were fixed, they might only last for a few years. But Jiang Yue is different; she's superhuman.
