Chapter 604: Job Opportunity

Upon hearing these murmurs, Lin Laoda hardened his heart. He pulled out three more red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Gu Zi, along with the initial one. Four envelopes, four hundred yuan. It pained him to part with the money, but he was more interested in winning over Gu Zi’s husband. “I apologize for my lack of consideration,” he said, “Please accept these on behalf of the children.”

Gu Zi didn’t hesitate this time. She reached out and took the envelopes. Lin Laoda’s wife felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her four hundred yuan was gone!

Gu Zi chuckled and thanked the elder couple. “The children and Su Shen have gone to pay their New Year’s respects. I’ll accept these on their behalf. When they return, they’ll pay their respects to you.”

Gu Zi was not blind to the fact that Lin Laoda’s wife had turned pale, most likely from the pain of parting with the money. But that was precisely the effect she wanted.

If the elder couple wanted to reestablish their relationship with Lin Lao’er’s family, they had to show enough sincerity, regardless of their true intentions. If they felt the sincerity was too costly, they would naturally not come again.

Mother Lin also understood Gu Zi’s intentions. However, their family didn’t believe in only taking and not giving. She believed Gu Zi would approve of her actions. After Gu Zi accepted the red envelopes, Mother Lin took out two from her bag, each containing a hundred yuan, and gave them to Lin Laoda’s two grandsons. The boys’ faces lit up with joy.

However, the expression on the face of Lin Laoda’s wife didn’t improve. They had given out four envelopes and only received two in return. They were still two hundred yuan short! She regretted not having more grandchildren. It was such a loss!

Lin Laoda’s wife was so upset she didn’t want to speak. The people around her didn’t care, they continued to chat and laugh with Gu Zi and her daughter. At lunchtime, ten tables of guests sat in front of Lin Lao’er’s house. Due to the cold weather, they had prepared a lamb hot pot. Everyone ate happily and contentedly.

Especially after Mother Lin announced that Gu Zi had prepared the hot pot ingredients, everyone started to praise her extravagantly. Lin Laoda’s wife sneered secretly. No matter how capable Gu Zi was, she was still just a woman, wasn’t she?

She could only stay at home, do housework, and raise children. In terms of capability, her son was superior. He was a supervisor in a textile factory in the city, a respectable job that not everyone could have.

Just then, the sound of a car horn echoed down the road. A jeep pulled up, and a short-haired woman stepped out. She was dressed in a very neutral but stylish manner. Her outfit was obviously not cheap, and she was carrying two exquisite gift boxes that looked quite expensive.

Her appearance attracted many people’s attention. Many were surprised. Did the Lin family have such a stylish relative?

Gu Zi also noticed her and immediately recognized her. This was the female reporter who had interviewed them last time. Gu Zi approached her, “Miss Guan Xin, what brings you here?”

Guan Xin shook hands with Gu Zi and handed her the gift boxes. She got straight to the point, “I’m sorry for disturbing you during the New Year. I’ve come to wish you a happy new year. These are small tokens of my appreciation. Also, I have a job opportunity that I think would suit you. I would like to invite you to join our Guangcheng Newspaper as a foreign language editor.”

Gu Zi was somewhat surprised, not because of Guan Xin’s appearance or the job opportunity she brought, but because of the position of a foreign language editor. In the original book, this opportunity should have been given to Lin Miao because of her outstanding performance in foreign language hosting. She was introduced to the newspaper by Boss Huo, which led to this job opportunity.

It seemed that her arrival in this book had disrupted the plot’s trajectory, causing some minor changes. This job opportunity had not only become hers, but it was also brought by the reporter who had interviewed her. Gu Zi couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know I speak English?”

Guan Xin laughed, “You know Uncle Huo, right? Coincidentally, he and my father are good friends. Yesterday, when I visited him for the New Year, we talked about work. He mentioned you, and when I heard your name, I realized that we have a mutual acquaintance.”

“Back to the point, the position requires a high level of English proficiency. Uncle Huo vouches for you, and I believe you can do it.”
