Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 670 - 7: Career Planning_3

But the secretary always feels that the work he currently does is far beyond what his salary can measure.

Moreover, those bonuses neither have clear earnings projects nor can they be taxed—it’s not that he’s obsessed with taxes, but in a place like Beijing, especially with a family, when it comes to doing things seriously, he can’t even come up with a credible, stable bank statement.

After all, how much is the base salary?

In many places, without a fixed income, the entry threshold is not met.

At this late hour of the night, the car is silent, and through the rearview mirror, he sees the man inside with sunken cheeks and deep eye sockets, looking exhausted, which also startled him.

No, I should just resign.

If I keep grinding like this, I’m afraid I won’t live long enough to see my daughter grow up.

I’m just a secretary, don’t have any non-compete agreement, nor any confidentiality period... I wonder if the Zhou Group is hiring?

I’ve heard their benefits are pretty good...

...

Now, Chen Ningbai is favored by President Xie, and there’s even President Xie’s personal secretary overseeing the logistics. Every time the agent sees this, he smiles wide.

Now looking at the few pretty girls selected in the babysitter van following along, he can’t help but feel some ’hate to see iron not turn into steel’ frustration!

"Look! Do you all have no ambition? You’re quite pretty, but why aren’t you smart? What a great opportunity..."

If Tianyu itself is an unorthodox company, then what the agent says and does isn’t far from openly coercing them into questionable activities.

A few girls frowned in disgust but didn’t say anything.

But the agent wouldn’t let it go.

"Zhu Xuan, you are the future star I value the most. I’ve arranged events big and small for you lately. Don’t you have any thoughts? It’s time to work hard!"

He spoke earnestly.

Originally, hearing these words, Zhu Xuan felt full of annoyance, but somehow at this moment, she recalled Secretary Xu’s echoing question—

"Do you have any certificates or achievements?"

So she earnestly nodded.

"Yes!"

The agent was overjoyed: "I knew you still had ambition. Life can be lived in mediocrity or in glory. There are plenty of pretty girls in entertainment, how could you proceed without competitiveness?"

Only to hear Zhu Xuan say seriously: "Tomorrow I’m going to start taking certification exams!"

As for which certificate to pursue, she would inquire tomorrow about which industry has advantages.

Agent: ...

...

Early the next day, Zhu Xuan woke up.

The talent show had actually finished recording, and everyone was back at the company dormitory. She got up and opened her computer, carefully considering the directions she could strive towards.

The contract signed with the company was so strict, her personality she knew well, in case one day things fell apart, and the company shelved her, she’d have to have a skill to rely on.

Secretary Xu asked well last night!

Indeed, she currently has no specialized skills.

While searching the web everywhere, suddenly the phone rang.

Looking at the note, it was the business card name input last night—

Xu Zhen Secretary Xu.

Remembering the questions from last night, Zhu Xuan’s heart started pounding, and she quickly picked up.

Secretary Xu laughed very politely on the other end: "Miss Zhu, when is it convenient for you? Can we meet to discuss future planning?"

The two met at a members-only, well-hidden tea cafe, where Secretary Xu waited politely.

At that moment, he pulled out a contract.

"Before I make my suggestions, I’d like to ask, Miss Zhu, do you have any plans for your future?"

If asked yesterday, Zhu Xuan’s thoughts would simply be to strive for fame.

But after a night of contemplation and the accumulation of various researched outcomes, she paused for a moment and then honestly said:

"My current plan is to first earn a certificate that allows me to have a skill."

Ambitious!

Secretary Xu was pleased.

He warmly offered many suggestions.

"There’s a wide range of regular certificates you can consider, like construction, accounting, or some teaching qualifications."

"Comparatively, these have relatively low thresholds."

"But if Miss Zhu isn’t in a rush, I’d suggest considering enrolling in an on-job postgraduate course? Or perhaps consider a civil servant position?"

Secretary Xu smiled very politely:

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. I simply feel it’s a pity that Miss Zhu has embarked on this entertainment path and isn’t using this advantage." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"And an on-job postgraduate can enhance your reputation and advantages in the circle, there’s never enough of it."

"Regarding civil service... perhaps Miss Zhu hasn’t considered this before and hasn’t researched its benefits. But if you could pass it, then signing that entertainment contract wouldn’t be a constraint."

After all, whether from a policy or public opinion perspective, once you become a civil servant, there’s plenty that could be done if you want to quit the entertainment circle.

Zhu Xuan widened her eyes, her usually composed face showed a moment of confusion.
