Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 244: Mr. Yu’s Recommendation

Chen Ruiyu pressed her lips together, was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe I shouldn’t go to Hong Kong. I should just stay home with Grandpa."

"Then I won’t go to the capital either. I’ll stay home with Grandpa too," Chen Xinyue immediately expressed.

Lin Yi laughed in exasperation, "Alright, alright, enough with that. Even if I made you stay, you’d be here in body but not in spirit. If you want to go, just go. Only after experiencing setbacks outside will you appreciate the value of home. I’ve saved up some money here, you can take it..."

The siblings shook their heads in unison.

"Grandpa, please don’t give us any more money. Over the years, we’ve managed to save quite a bit ourselves. It’s not safe to carry too much money with us. If things really don’t work out, I’ll definitely call you and you can transfer money to me then, okay?" Chen Xinyue urged anxiously.

Over the years, Lin Yi had already purchased enough fixed assets for them. It wasn’t easy for the old man to save money either, and she couldn’t bear to keep taking from him.

Chen Ruiyu also nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, you just wait for me to earn money for you to spend. The money you’ve spent on us over the years should see some return."

Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Alright, alright, since you don’t want it, I’ll save it then."

As for the return his grandson mentioned, he didn’t really take it to heart.

After settling matters with Lin Yi, the siblings simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and turned to prepare their luggage.

They bought the earliest flight and left.

October in the capital, unlike the lingering summer heat of An City, already had the feel of autumn. Especially by evening, when the cool breeze blew, you had to wear long sleeves.

Chen Xinyue took a taxi alone to a hotel near her house.

She checked in, immediately called home to report she was safe, then quickly washed up and lay down on the bed, planning the next day’s agenda.

Since she was back, the first thing to do was to contact some university teachers, classmates, or alumni to inquire about job openings in the capital, and then make further plans. She would deal with the house after solving the job issue.

If the job location was too far, it would be better to continue renting out the house.

Having made up her mind, Chen Xinyue soon closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, she first bought some things and headed to the school. She originally wanted to find the counselor but unexpectedly ran into her class advisor, Yu Anhe.

"Xinyue? Is it really you! You’re back at school?" Yu Anhe called out to Chen Xinyue in surprise.

Recognizing her, Chen Xinyue quickly stepped forward to greet, changing her approach, "Mr. Yu, I finally found you! I thought today might be a wasted trip. Do you have classes later? Is it convenient to have a meal together?"

Yu Anhe nodded, "I just finished class and was about to head back. Let’s go! I’ll treat you to a meal!"

"No, no, I should be the one treating you to a meal, Mr. Yu. I brought these especially for you." Chen Xinyue naturally handed the items to Yu Anhe.

Yu Anhe smiled deeper, "You kid! It’s a rare occasion for you to come back, and you still bring things?"

The two of them chatted while walking towards the student street.

"I heard you went abroad for further studies. Did you get your degree?"

Chen Xinyue nodded, "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back. This time, I’m also looking to see if there’s any large company in the capital hiring students with an English major. I’d like to give it a try."

Hearing this, Yu Anhe couldn’t help but smile, "You’re asking the right person. I do have a job opening but haven’t found the right candidate. The employer is quite picky. However, with your qualifications, you might just be suitable."

"Hmm?" Chen Xinyue’s interest was piqued.

Yu Anhe immediately dug into her bag and pulled out some materials, "It’s this. Let’s eat first, you can read while we eat."

Chen Xinyue nodded and followed Yu Anhe into a hot pot restaurant.

They found a corner seat.

Chen Xinyue began to study the job information, "SY Multinational Group, hiring a CEO’s secretary..."

Yu Anhe nodded and mused, "SY Multinational Group primarily deals in jewelry and clothing, and is now venturing into fast-moving consumer goods. The development prospects are very promising. Additionally, the owner behind this group has an unusual background, rumored to have a red background. I haven’t inquired specifically, but generally, groups with such strong backing have robust risk resistance.

They need a CEO’s secretary who can communicate in English fluently, with no barriers in reading or writing, and has some knowledge of business etiquette, wine tasting, music appreciation, and a bit of dance foundation. Looks matter too because sometimes it’s necessary to attend banquets as the CEO’s companion..."

The more Chen Xinyue listened, the stranger it sounded, "Wait a moment, Mr. Yu, is this really a secretary position? Why does it sound so odd? We’re upright people!"

Yu Anhe chuckled in exasperation and couldn’t help but give a graceful eyeroll, "They’re upright people too! It’s said this CEO is somewhat of a clean freak. The secretarial department mainly hires male secretaries, and the few female secretaries they had were older, family-oriented, and without flirtatious thoughts.

You must understand that it’s impossible to attend business gatherings alone all the time. Doing so would be as good as publicly announcing to other women that he’s single, inviting unnecessary advances, which is bothersome. Moreover, without a woman by his side for a long time, all sorts of unsavory rumors in the circle emerged.

This CEO is under various pressures and is quite annoyed, which is why he’s publicly recruiting a young female secretary.

To be honest, I’ve recommended several groups before; only three passed the interview, but none could endure the probation period! Other schools recommended candidates too, but the employer is highly demanding, and there’s hardly anyone who meets the criteria and can remain steadfast without ulterior motives!

Since you don’t have such intentions, you should give it a shot. You should know, the salary is thirty thousand a month! If I were eligible age-wise, I would have tried myself."

Yu Anhe expressed a sense of regret for being born in the wrong era, making Chen Xinyue chuckle helplessly.

"Teacher, would you mind telling me why the previous three didn’t pass the probation period?"

Yu Anhe’s eyes flickered slightly, and her expression darkened, "Why else? The CEO is young, handsome, conducts himself with integrity, and has such a prestigious family background. What unmarried woman wouldn’t be tempted?

Even if they initially claimed otherwise, once they really got to know him, they couldn’t control themselves.

The first one couldn’t resist on the first day of work and kept finding excuses to be near the CEO. After being warned, she restrained herself for two days but remained incorrigible, creating various ’accidental encounters’ and causing quite a few jokes. Do you think they’d keep someone like that?

The second had more courage, confessing his feelings to the CEO within a week of work, with predictable results.

The third one was even more ludicrous, attempting to drug the CEO, only to be caught red-handed and stubbornly refused to admit. She ended up being taken away by the police.

Because of her, I became a joke in the circle. I’m holding a grudge, so Xinyue, make sure to make me proud, don’t follow in their footsteps!"

Chen Xinyue nodded emphatically, "Rest assured, teacher, I’m not an inexperienced girl. I definitely won’t disappoint you."

"I trust you!"

The two exchanged smiles just as the waiter served the food, and they shifted their focus from the conversation.
