Wen Ruo woke up at six in the morning. Today she had to go to Chengrui Company in Lianxi City for an interview. The company was recruiting translators.
Seeing his daughter get up, Ji Yun smiled and brought her clothes: "Ruoruo, put them on quickly, your father is preparing breakfast for you."
Ji Yun went to the mall the day before yesterday to buy the burgundy padded shoulder blazer and black straight skirt, spending a total of more than two thousand yuan. This was a huge expense in their family's daily expenses, but Ji Yun showed it to his daughter without any regret: "Look at the style and material. It's incomparable to the ones that cost three or four hundred yuan. You will definitely look very stylish when you wear it!"
It felt cool in the hand. Wen Ruo put it on and glanced in the mirror. She felt that the clothes were not suitable for her, but she did not object.
She has always been a well-behaved girl. She was not good at studying when she was young and her grades were not good. But because her mother always envied her uncle and aunt's two academically gifted children, she tried hard to get closer to them. Although she ultimately failed to catch up with her cousins, at least she was admitted to college. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After graduating four years later, she once again faced a difficult challenge in her life - finding a job!
Many of her classmates found jobs, but she didn't.
Fearing that his daughter would be discouraged, Ji Yun comforted her: "Ruoruo, you will definitely be accepted this time. I had a dream the day before yesterday that you used your salary to buy a razor for your father. You see, this is a good sign."
However, dreams are often the opposite.
Wen Ruo felt that her mother's words had no effect at all, but made her even more worried.
Chengrui Company had just gone public not long ago and had great prospects. Many graduates wanted to work there. She submitted her resume with a glimmer of hope, but she didn't expect to receive a reply asking her to go for an interview. This was a big surprise.
But when the day of the interview really came, I had no idea what to expect.
Father Wen's voice came from the dining room: "Ruoruo, you haven't put on your clothes yet? Come and eat."
A strong fragrance wafted into her nose. Wen Ruo walked to the dining room and took a look. It turned out to be her favorite seafood noodles.
Wen Lixin did not have much education, and taught himself cooking to make a living. He used to be a chef in a restaurant, but later with the encouragement of his wife Ji Yun, he quit his job and the couple opened a small restaurant in front of Lianxi University.
With more than ten years of experience and extraordinary skills, Wen Ruo almost drooled when he smelled the aroma of the seafood noodles. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then sat down at the table.
In order to encourage his daughter, Wen Lixin went to the market early in the morning to buy fresh bamboo shrimps and flower crabs. He used these two things to make a delicious soup, and then put noodles, enoki mushrooms and moosh vegetables into it.
It was really delicious. Wen Ruo felt like she was fully revived and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Dad!"
"Are you saying thank you to your dad?" Wen Lixin sat beside his daughter and watched her eat. He soon noticed her new clothes.
This is just like a child stealing adults' clothes!
Wen Lixin was about to express his opinion, but swallowed it back when he met his wife's gaze. This was something Ji Yun bought specially for his daughter to wear. It’s not nice to say this, but his daughter is pretty and cute anyway, so it doesn’t matter what she wears. He reminded Wen Ruo: "Don't be anxious, be careful of the heat, it's still early."
"Yeah." Wen Ruo nodded and buried her head in eating the flower crab.
Maybe it was because of the heat from the noodles, but her little face turned red and the corners of Wen Lixin's mouth curled up.
His daughter was very thin when she was young, so he tried every possible way to make the dishes more appealing to her, which indirectly contributed to her excellent cooking skills. Now, he supports his family with this technology and feels extremely proud.
In the living room, Ji Yun was packing a bag for Wen Ruo: "You have to buy a better bag. It's classy. I think that Gucci bag is pretty good. Let's buy one next time."
Wen Ruo almost choked.
Gi bag is a luxury item, she doesn't want to buy it. How many dishes would dad have to cook to get it? Besides, the bag doesn’t look good.
This is how Wen Ruo sees it. Just like the clothes her mother bought for her, she doesn't like them either.
"No, I just mentioned this, it's good."
"What's so good about it?" Ji Yun was puzzled. "How good can a bag that costs a few hundred dollars be? Ruoruo, listen to your mother. You get what you pay for."
No, no, no, Wen Ruo did not admit it. She thought her bag was great, inexpensive, durable and beautiful, but she did not refute it.
Wen Lixin thought his daughter was reluctant to spend money, so he advised her, "Ruoruo, don't worry about the price. Dad will buy it for you. Our store is doing so well, and Dad has money." He then asked in a low voice, "What brand of bag do you like?"
Wen Ruo blinked her eyes and said, "I don't want any. Daddy, just buy me something delicious to eat."
Father Wen laughed and asked, "How much money can it cost to eat?"
This kid is just stupid.
Seeing that his daughter had almost finished her noodles, Ji Yun urged: "Ruoruo, let's go. I'll take you there."
In order to purchase supplies and ingredients, my family bought a small van a long time ago. Because we cherish it very much, it still looks new today.
Wen Ruo wiped her mouth, picked up her bag and said goodbye to her father.
Wen Lixin waved his hand and encouraged the child: "Ruoruo, come on, you will definitely succeed!"
Wen Ruo nodded: "Yeah!"
In fact, she was very nervous. Today, her parents had shown their expectations and thought that she would definitely get the job, but she really didn't have that confidence.
She was never smart since she was a child and never got full marks in exams. In order not to disappoint her mother, she was very serious in class, took notes very seriously, and did homework very seriously, but the distance between her and her cousins was getting bigger and bigger.
Her cousin was admitted to a university in the capital, her cousin was admitted to the famous S University, and she was the only one who stayed in Huiyang University in Lianxi City. In fact, in Wen Ruo's opinion, that was already the peak of her life, but judging from her mother's reaction, that university was still very ordinary.
Now that she was going to apply for a job, Wen Ruo clenched her hands tightly and repeatedly recited in her mind the coping skills she had found on the Internet regarding how to answer examiners when applying for a job.
"Ruoruo," Ji Yun glanced at her, "What are you doing?"
"No, I'm not doing anything." Wen Ruo didn't want to show his nervousness.
Ji Yun saw it all: "Ruoruo, didn't I tell you not to worry? You look very good in this outfit today. You look like a professional woman."
Wen Ruo:......
Professional women don’t have to look old-fashioned. She didn’t quite understand her mother’s idea, but she had failed in all her previous job applications, so maybe it really had something to do with it.
Chengrui Company is not far from their home, just a 40-minute drive away. However, due to a traffic jam in the morning, it took an hour, but there were still 40 minutes left before the interview.
In the parking lot, Ji Yun reminded: "Do your best later, don't be nervous."
She wanted to go with her daughter, but gave up the idea considering other people's eyes. After all, she is 22 years old. If the employees in the company saw that Wen Ruo needed her mother to accompany her during the interview, they would definitely doubt her ability.
"Mom won't go with you. This isn't your first interview. You should gain more experience."
Compared to the kindness and gentleness of father, mother is a bit strict. Wen Ruo has been in awe of her since childhood. She nodded and said, "I know, mother."
Seeing her tense face, Ji Yun shook his head, thinking that this child was just timid, but she was an undergraduate after all and had good foreign language skills, so she shouldn't fail again.
"Get off the bus quickly, don't be late."
"Okay." Wen Ruo opened the car door and got out.
Ji Yun drove away.
Looking at the van going away, Wen Ruo let out a deep breath. After calming herself down, she walked towards the towering Central buildings not far away.
After telling the guard her identity and being allowed in, she pressed the elevator for the sixteenth floor.
The receptionist wanted to laugh when she saw Wen Ruo, because Wen Ruo looked very childish, with watery almond eyes, fair skin, a small nose, and a small face. He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was dressed very formally. She thought he must be here to apply for a job.
"After you go in, turn left, walk to the end and then turn right. There is a lounge there. Just go in and wait." The receptionist said concisely.
"Thank you." Wen Ruo went to find the lounge.
A girl came up from behind and asked: "Are you here to apply for a job as well?"
"Um."
The girl smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
"OK."
Wen Ruo took a look at the girl and found that she was wearing a blue dress that showed off her curvy figure. She had small diamond earrings on her ears, and she looked very mature and sexy overall. In contrast, she looked weird no matter how she looked at herself.
She became even less confident.
But it won’t work, she said to herself, her parents both want it to work out, so she has to work hard for it. Her English and French are both very good, so when I translate later I must remain fluent and not stutter.
"Which school did you graduate from?" the girl asked.
"Huiyang University."
"Oh." The girl smiled. "I've heard of it. It's a university in Lianxi City, right? I considered it at that time, but later I was lucky and was admitted to S University."
The anger that Wen Ruo had just given him suddenly dissipated a little.
S University is the university my cousin attends and it is ranked in the top ten in the country. Huiyang University cannot be compared with it at all.
"Why don't you stay in S City?" Wen Ruo asked.
"Because I think this company is good, and my home is here."
The reason was very sufficient. Wen Ruo remained silent. It was all over now. Just based on the gap between the two universities, she felt that she would be eliminated. So, how am I going to explain this to my parents when I get home?
Wen Ruo took a breath.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from the opposite side. She looked up and saw a man in the aisle. Because the light was dim, the first thing people noticed was his long legs, like straight poplars. Looking up, there was a narrow waist and broad shoulders... This perfect body shape alone made people want to peek at his appearance.
The girl next to her was also stunned. She stood there motionless, waiting for the man to come closer. She found that his eyes were on Wen Ruo.
"Do you know him?" the girl couldn't help but ask. She didn't know if this man was from this company. If so, he must be a senior executive. Because in addition to being handsome, he also has an unruly and everything-controlling spirit.
Wen Ruo didn't say anything. When she saw this person, she felt as if all the energy she had just managed to muster was drained away.
She felt like a deflated balloon now!
