Although Yu Yao wanted to try working part-time, she wasn’t in a hurry to find a job.
On the one hand, even though she hated the Yu family, she didn’t feel burdened by spending their money. On the other hand, she still had almost all the skills she had in her previous life, so earning money wouldn’t be difficult for her.
In her previous life, the world that Yu Yao had lived in had a very advanced network environment and information technology. It was normal for countries and organizations to compete and defend against each other through the internet. She had worked on a cybersecurity team that belonged to a special national security department.
She had been both satisfied and dissatisfied with this job. On the one hand, the work environment was simple and the salary was quite generous. On the other hand, the intensity of the insane hours made her have countless thoughts of quitting.
However, before she could save enough money to resign and enjoy her life, an accident had happened when she was receiving technical assistance from an African country. Then, she found herself in the current world.
Perhaps it was because the internet had not developed to the extent that it would later when the author wrote the novel, in the context of the novel world, the development of technology was still quite basic in Yu Yao’s opinion.
Of course, Yu Yao could rely on her advanced technological knowledge to earn money, and she could even establish a new technology group. However, she had already lived that kind of life. Right now, she only wanted to be a relaxed and carefree university student!
As a female university student, she had access to part-time jobs, including but not limited to: tutoring, handing out flyers, working at milk tea shops or fast food restaurants.
The salaries of these workers were so low that Yu Yao was shocked. As for jobs with higher pay, such as working at car exhibitions and modelling, they were very popular among college students and required a certain amount of connections. Yu Yao shrank back at the thought of wearing high heels for several hours.
After going through the university forum and the student union’s public account, she had to admit that she looked down on this kind of inefficient work.
So in the end, she still contacted Qiao Lian.
The newly registered WeChat account had very few contacts on it. Apart from the counselor, class monitor, team secretary, and others who she had added that day, Qiao Lian was one of the very few who had a personal relationship with her.
Yu Yao sorted out her resume and sent it to Qiao Lian. She thought to herself that as a freshman who didn’t have much social experience, the job that suited her best would be an internship that involved running errands or printing things at the office.
But the job description Qiao Lian sent over later made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Job Title: Great Lord’s Trash Picker
Job Details: When the Great Lord’s master is busy with work or on a business trip, you will be responsible for feeding the Great Lord, bathing, combing his hair, and cleaning up his poop to ensure that the Great Lord maintains his health!
Payment: 2,000 yuan per shift.”
Compared to the job content and the intensity of the job, this salary was very high. To be honest, Yu Yao was quite tempted, but as an adult, she didn’t believe that such a good thing could just fall into her lap!
Perhaps this was a cunning human’s plan to kidnap stray cats! A wary cat would not fall for the two-legged beast’s trick!
Yu Yao: You’re joking with me, right?
Qiao Lian: Of course not.
Yu Yao: Don’t lie to me, I don’t believe there’s such a good job in this world!
Qiao Lian: Do I look like someone who likes to joke around? To be honest, I don’t think he’s a good cat to serve, so this salary is very reasonable and fair.
Yu Yao: I’m a little tempted… Is this job limited-time only? How long will this job last if I succeed?
This was a direct test, but Qiao Lian had never thought of hiding his thoughts.
Therefore, he replied: It’s a limited-time recruitment and there’s no end date. Do you want to accept it?
Yu Yao sighed. You’re too charitable. Although I’m very tempted, I can only refuse.
Qiao Lian: You always reject me.
She couldn’t read the sender’s emotions from the text on WeChat, but she somehow felt that he seemed a little down.
Yu Yao: I’m just a little dissatisfied with the job you provided. If you can change some conditions, I think I’ll gladly accept it.
Qiao Lian: What aren’t you satisfied with?
Yu Yao: Of course, the salary and treatment. If you can adjust your salary to 0, I’ll apply for the job. How about that?
Qiao Lian chuckled lightly. He felt that Yu Yao was really good at grasping the mentality of others. Even he, who had never lost a game of chess, was distracted by her every word and action.
Just when he thought that Yu Yao was rejecting him time and time again, she had given him an opportunity to get closer.
However, Qiao Lian understood that Yu Yao was not trying to control his emotions by any means. On the contrary, she was being straightforward and sincere, without any pretense.. This made him want to get closer to her even more.
