Hai City Railway East Station.
After sitting on the train for a day and night, Xu Wanwan dragged her luggage out of the train station. Looking at the familiar station square in front of her, she still couldn't help but feel excited inside. It's great to be alive!
It was just past 8 o'clock in the morning. Xu Wanwan first bought herself a pancake for breakfast, then found a mall and connected to the free Wi-Fi inside to start searching online for information about Ye's Group's summer job recruitment.

Seeing this recruitment notice, Xu Wanwan's eyes lit up. Ye's Group Headquarters. Then her eyes darkened again. This information had been posted for several days, and she probably didn't have a chance.
But Xu Wanwan still turned around and went to the subway station. She was going to try her luck. This was like Schrodinger's cat - she couldn't make a conclusion without witnessing it herself. What if there was still a chance?
An hour later.
Xu Wanwan stood across from the Ye’s Group building, looking up at the top of the nearly 20-story building, with the four big characters "Ye's Group" being particularly striking.
Xu Wanwan walked over dragging her suitcase. The security guard at the door saw a ponytailed, slender girl coming over and immediately took a few steps forward to stop her dutifully.
"Miss, this is Ye's Group. How may I help you?"
"Brother, I'd like to ask if the summer job vacancies are already filled?" Xu Wanwan asked nervously.
The security guard shook his head. "You came late, little girl. The headquarters didn't recruit many people to begin with. The vacancies were already filled on the day the recruitment notice was posted."
The security guard then asked curiously, "But why didn't you call to ask first before coming over? You made this trip in vain."
As expected. Xu Wanwan was a little disappointed to hear this. Hearing the security guard's inquiry, she was also embarrassed to rub her head, "I...I don't have a SIM card yet. Thank you, brother."
She then turned around pulling her luggage to leave.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came out of the lobby. She was the person in charge of the company cafeteria. Seeing the leaving girl, she asked the security guard.
"Little Liu, what did the girl come for?"
"Oh, Manager Wang. She wanted to apply for a summer job, but we already filled the vacancies. I told her to leave."
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang immediately shouted at the girl outside, "Miss, please wait!"
Hearing this, Xu Wanwan stopped and turned around, looking puzzled. "Is anything the matter?"
Manager Wang walked up to Xu Wanwan and got straight to the point, "I'm the person in charge of the company’s cafeteria. My surname is Wang. You came to apply for a summer job, right? It just so happened that a few days ago, a girl resigned after finding out that her exam results were unsatisfactory. She went home to study. I wasn't going to recruit anyone else, but seeing you dragging your luggage all the way here, you went through a lot of trouble. We happen to need one more kitchen helper, so why don't you come over."
Hearing this, Xu Wanwan's eyes lit up excitedly. "Really? Thank you so much, Manager Wang!"
"You're welcome. You brought your high school diploma, right? Let me register you first, then take you to the temporary staff dormitory to put down your luggage before going to the kitchen with me."
"Sure! Thank you!"
