Chapter 24 - The Empress Wants to Find a Job
Three days later. Content orıginally comes from Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
“Nothing, nothing! Still nothing!”
In the living room, Longyue sat with her legs curled up on the sofa, her eyes fixed on her phone screen, biting her thumbnail.
It had already been three days since she submitted her resume. For these three days, she had stared at her phone full of anticipation every day, opening the recruitment app from time to time to see if there were any replies.
In these three days, she was even more nervous and expectant than when she was refining pills and artifacts.
However, after waiting anxiously for three days, there was nothing!
The resume she sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, not making the slightest ripple.
On the first day, she was full of ambition and wasn't anxious, just thinking that perhaps the recruiting companies hadn't seen her resume yet. Gold will always shine!
On the second day, she thought that maybe a salary of ten thousand a month was still too high. After looking at the salary packages in other job postings, she proactively revised it to six thousand.
In the end, on the third day, her inbox was still completely silent!
Never mind an interview invitation, she didn't even get a single chance for an online chat!
What on earth is going on? Why aren't any companies paying attention to her…
Could it be that she, the majestic Supreme Sacred Empress, the Supreme Sovereign of the Immortal Realm, can't even find a job in this world…
At this moment, Longyue couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt, feeling more and more anxious and uneasy.
“Empress, what kind of positions have you been applying for?”
Seeing Longyue’s dispirited look, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Although he had only fabricated a high school education for her, it couldn't be that after applying for three days, there was no news at all, right?
“This Empress just chose some very ordinary positions.”
Longyue handed the phone to Lin Fan with a look of helplessness.
Lin Fan took the phone, opened her application history to take a look, and was instantly speechless.
“Empress, let this sovereign ask you, do you know how to program?”
“No, I don't.” Longyue shook her head.
“Then why did you apply for a programmer position! Your resume has no programming experience either, of course they wouldn't look at it!”
“And this one, do you know how to speak English? And you applied for an English translator position?”
“Also, the company is recruiting a general manager, and you dared to apply for that too?”
Lin Fan pointed at the entries in her application history one by one, lecturing her in a near-roar.
No wonder there hadn't been any interview invitations in three days. A single look showed that she had applied for all high-salary, high-benefit jobs that didn't match her resume at all. Of course there was no response!
Being yelled at, Longyue shrank her neck, but still muttered defiantly under her breath:
“Although this Empress doesn't know how, I-I can learn…”
“With this Empress’s wisdom and natural talent, I can learn it right away!”
“Empress, it’s a good thing that you have confidence, but they won’t give you this opportunity. They only want people with experience and work history.”
“You need to have work experience first to find a job!”
“But if this Empress doesn’t work first, where am I supposed to get work experience!”
“So you have to go to work first!”
“They’re not willing to hire this Empress, so how is this Empress supposed to work!”
Lin Fan and Longyue argued back and forth. After a while of arguing, the two of them couldn't help but fall silent again.
Without a job, one cannot accumulate work experience. Without work experience, companies are unwilling to hire you. This seemed to be an unsolvable riddle for the ages…
“Empress, let’s just start with some simpler jobs…”
Lin Fan handed the phone back to Longyue and said earnestly.
Longyue took the phone and lowered her head in disappointment.
“But the salaries for those jobs are so low, only three or four thousand a month! The jobs are all things like waitress, cleaner…”
No matter what, she was still the Empress of the Immortal Realm. She could lower her status to work and earn money, but to ask her to carry plates and sweep floors was something she found truly hard to accept.
Of course, if the salary was right, it wasn't out of the question, but three or four thousand was clearly not within her acceptable range.
Lin Fan was also well aware of this. In his past life as a corporate drone, even he would have found it hard to accept such a job, let alone her, the Empress of the Immortal Realm.
For a majestic Empress of the Immortal Realm to be serving tea and water to people was indeed a bit of a waste…
After pondering for a moment, he proposed:
“Empress, your resume doesn’t have your photo, does it?”
Longyue glanced at her resume and nodded.
“Mmm, it certainly doesn’t.”
At the time, she was only thinking about getting the resume done. She didn't think a photo was important, so she didn't bother to take one to put on her resume.
“Then take a photo and put it up later, then try applying for those actor positions for film and television drama roles?” Lin Fan suggested.
If possible, he actually didn't want Longyue to go into acting at all.
On one hand, Longyue’s identity was special, and it was best to avoid appearing in the public eye as much as possible to avoid attracting attention.
On the other hand, the waters of the entertainment circle were quite deep. He was worried about what kind of commotion this worldly-unwise Empress might cause…
But at present, besides the entertainment circle, he really couldn't think of any other suitable job for her.
Besides, with her appearance, he wouldn't be surprised at all if she were noticed by a star scout.
Perhaps she might just soar to the heavens with this…
Longyue stroked her chin and thought seriously for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
“Alright! Then this Empress will give it a try!”
During this period, she had watched many movies and television dramas and had a general understanding of acting.
Since those people with such clumsy acting skills could act, why couldn't she!
No sooner said than done. Longyue put on her socks and shoes and was about to go out to take a photo.
“Wait, I'll go with you,” Lin Fan said, catching up.
“Why are you accompanying this Empress? It’s just taking a photo, I can do it myself.”
Longyue was puzzled, but Lin Fan, while putting on his shoes, leisurely explained:
“Since you, Empress, really plan to find a job, then you’ll need an ID card.”
“We can take this opportunity to get your ID card processed at the same time as the photo. With an ID card, you’ll be a legal citizen. Things like getting a SIM card, registering accounts, traveling, and so on, you can do all by yourself.”
“Otherwise, if you continue to have no identity in this world, everything will be quite troublesome.”
“Mmm… that’s true! Alright!”
Longyue nodded, a trace of worry inevitably showing on her face.
“But can this Empress also get this ID card?”
During this period, whether she was ordering takeout, shopping online, or even the SIM card she was using, it was all under Lin Fan’s name.
Now, she also deeply understood the importance of an ID card in this world. Without an ID card, even traveling was sometimes a troublesome issue.
But she, after all, had transmigrated here midway. Unlike Lin Fan, who was originally a native of this world and came with an identity.
For an unregistered person like her who had suddenly appeared, getting an ID card was probably a rather thorny matter.
Regarding Longyue’s worries, Lin Fan was unconcerned.
“It might be a bit difficult for others, but for this sovereign, it’s as easy as lifting a finger.”
“Why?” Longyue asked curiously.
Lin Fan opened the door and turned back with a confident smile.
“Because this sovereign is the Demon Sovereign, of course~”
