It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

Chapter 43: Pride and Respect

Luo Yiran was very moved by the man's words.

She originally thought that relying on her status as a top student from a key university, she could easily find a job with a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan.

But reality dealt her a heavy blow. All the job applications she sent out were ignored, and the only reply she received was to ask her to be a secretary.

Do the secretary work when there is work to do, or do the secretary work when there is nothing to do?
Her pride would never allow her to do this.

Now, her former cousin-in-law has said he will support her to continue her studies.

But can she agree?

If my cousin's family knew about this, what would they think and how would they view me?
"My relationship with your cousin has long been over. She is her, and I am me."

Seeing the woman's hesitation, Su Yu smiled and offered her the opportunity, "And now, you and I have known each other for almost ten years. If I don't help you when you have something to do, how can we still call each other good friends?"

Luo Yiran no longer hesitated, "Brother Yu, thank you."

"If you call me Brother Yu, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Su Yu greeted with a smile, "You haven't even touched your chopsticks, let's eat the food."

As he spoke, he picked up the drink again and said, "Come, let's clink glasses and wish our friendship will last forever. Long live friendship."

Luo Yiran smiled and raised his drink, "Brother Yu, I toast to you."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't talk about respect or not, it's too distant."

Luo Yiran smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

After solving his own problem, Luo Yiran had a better appetite and started to eat with big mouthfuls of food.

Glancing at his girlfriend who was helping him blanch vegetables, Su Yu smiled and said, "Eat quickly and leave me alone."

Xiao Yuhan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll starve if you just keep talking."

Su Yu smiled and said, "I'm not hungry, I can talk and eat at the same time."

Next, he also began to help Xiao Yuhan pick up food frequently, and the two looked very affectionate.

Luo Yiran sat opposite and watched silently, his original good appetite faded a lot.

It turns out that my cousin and her husband were so loving, but as time goes by, they are replaced by new people.

"Yiran."

When they were almost done eating, Su Yu continued, "There is still nearly a year until the next postgraduate entrance examination. During this time, you can find a part-time job and prepare for the exam while reviewing."

“There are two advantages to this.”

"First, it allows you to adapt to the rhythm of society earlier, so you won't be out of touch with real life."

"Second, pressure creates motivation. It lets you, a good kid who grew up in a greenhouse, know how hard it is to make money."

Luo Yiran pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay."

Su Yu looked at Xiao Yuhan again, "She has been working part-time in my store since last year, earning 18 yuan an hour."

"I come to work four hours every night, plus the weekends, and I only make about 2,000 yuan a month."

Luo Yiran looked at the well-behaved Xiao Yuhan and couldn't help asking, "What is she doing in the store?"

“We do everything and go wherever we are needed.”

Su Yu said: "Including wiping the table, serving dishes, mopping the floor, washing dishes, and so on."

Luo Yiran was a little surprised. "As a college student, don't you feel ashamed to do this?"

She thought the other person was working part-time as a cashier and waiter, relatively clean and respectable jobs.

But who would have known that she would actually be a restaurant girl.

If they want to be restaurant waitresses, then what is the point of going to college?
Isn't this a detour?

"I also want to be a tutor, but the competition is too fierce."

Xiao Yuhan was indifferent to the woman's surprise, "I'm just an ordinary college student from a second-tier university. I don't have any advantages."

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, I'm from the countryside. I often do chores like washing dishes and mopping the floor at home. Sometimes I even have to feed pigs."

"Besides, I earn money with my own hands to support myself and reduce the burden on my parents. I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of."

Luo Yiran pursed her lips, she was speechless. She was twenty-two years old, four years older than the girl in front of her, but the difference in their ideological awareness was huge.

Although she wanted to help her mother reduce her burden, she only found some jobs like tutoring.

But this job is not stable and the money earned is not as much as I imagined.

Of course, no matter how much it is, it is still more than Xiao Yuhan’s two thousand yuan.

But her daily expenses are quite high, which makes it difficult for her to save money.

After all, she had been following her cousin and cousin-in-law since she was a teenager, and was taken to many places and saw a lot of the world.

Although she does not have the financial ability yet, she has her own pride and dignity.

Although she had her pride and dignity, she couldn't help but admire Xiao Yuhan, such a pretty girl who was willing to do such a dirty job.

If it were her, she would rather starve to death than go.

But she didn't know that Xiao Yuhan wore a mask when she worked part-time at Bobo Chicken Shop.

No one loves you once you put on a mask!

Su Yu said: "When looking for a part-time job, don't be dissatisfied with the bad job or the poor environment. Do it first, and then change to a better job according to the situation and timing."

Luo Yiran nodded, "Let me look for it first."

Su Yu reminded: "Don't look for extra classes anymore. It won't help you grow in any way except to make a living."

Luo Yiran nodded, not quite understanding.

He had already said and done what he should have said, and he did not say anything more. Looking at the two girls who had put down their chopsticks, Su Yu asked with a smile, "Have you finished eating?"

The two girls nodded, "We're done eating!"

Su Yu said: "Now that we're done eating, let's go downstairs."

After paying at the cashier, he casually asked, "Yiran, after you get your diploma from school, how long do you have to move out of the dormitory?"

Luo Yiran said, "We will receive our graduation certificates on June 28th, and we must move out of the dormitory before July 5th."

Su Yu said: "Look for a part-time job first, and then find accommodation. I will drive you to move when the time comes."

Luo Yiran nodded somewhat dazedly, "Okay."

There was actually another reason why she agreed to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

She had been unsuccessful in finding a job during this period, and she wanted to escape temporarily, hiding herself in a calm and stress-free school to take a breather.

But Su Yu's words woke her up again and brought her back to reality.

The postgraduate entrance examination is next year, so she needs to move out of the school dormitory and face a new life.

When they got outside, Luo Yiran was about to leave, but Su Yu stopped her with a smile, "I only saw you during the Chinese New Year. Since we met today, I'll buy you a set of clothes!"

Hearing the familiar words and the familiar tone, Luo Yiran felt like crying for some reason.

My parents are divorced and my dad has already started a new family, so I may not see him even once a year.

Her mother was busy with work and had no time to care about her. What she asked about most was her academic performance.

Only when she follows her cousin and her husband can she feel happiness from the bottom of her heart.

But now, my cousin and her husband have broken up, which makes her very sad.

Fortunately, although her cousin's husband is no longer her cousin's husband, he is still her brother Yu and her good friend.

Seeing the girl in a daze, Su Yu smiled and patted her shoulder, "Are you so moved that you're crying?"

Luo Yiran wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace, "Brother Yu, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Su Yu smiled and said, "You should study hard in the future, strive to be successful, and then buy me clothes."

Luo Yiran nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Studying and taking the postgraduate entrance examination are her only options at the moment.
