Chapter 938: Girls' Gossip
Girls naturally love gossip, so when they hear such exciting news, they're bound to get to the bottom of it.
"Feifei, you must have met Huang Xiaochuan, right?" the young woman asked.
Zhu Yan Yurun: "Same question."
Skilled and adept at social maneuvering: "Same question."
This time, Jiang Yufei did not exaggerate: "I also met him when I was a child, but I was too young to remember clearly. It was my mother who told me about it later. She said that during the Spring Festival when I was five years old, my aunt and uncle had just started dating. My uncle was not at home, but my uncle's younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan, came to my house to deliver New Year's gifts. My mother said that he even touched my head."
Later, I met him again at my aunt and uncle's wedding, but I was only six years old then. There were so many people coming and going that day that I had absolutely no impression of him. Later, who would have thought that he would become the richest man in Asia? It was only when I saw his picture in a magazine that I began to remember him.
The young woman immediately spammed over a dozen screaming emojis, "Five years old! You were touched on the head by the richest man when you were five! Feifei, do you know what that's called? Your head has been blessed by the God of Wealth! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't wash my hair anymore."
That wasn't all; he then posted a series of "Jealousy has made me unrecognizable" big-faced cat emojis.
Zhu Yanyurun exclaimed in a series of exclamation marks: "My God!"
The socially adept woman not only admired Jiang Yufei but also tried to win her over: "Feifei, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me! You'll have to keep an eye on our dorm sisters' internships, jobs, and even finding boyfriends!"
She then followed up with a "kneeling and hugging someone's leg" emoji.
Seeing this, the young woman, who was not wealthy, immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful. We've been best friends who lived in the same dormitory for three years."
Zhu Yanyurun's curiosity was piqued: "Feifei, are the floor tiles at your aunt's house made of gold? Are the faucets studded with diamonds? Does living in a place like that feel like you're surrounded by money? Do they have more than a dozen maids?"
Jiang Yufei couldn't hold back her laughter as she watched her three roommates' increasingly outrageous speculations and the various memes flooding the screen, such as "envy, jealousy, and hatred," "rich woman, please take care of me," and "Can I have a leg to hug?" She collapsed onto the bed, rolling around in laughter.
Her vanity was greatly satisfied, and after getting up, she started typing on the keyboard again.
"I didn't see the gold floor tiles or the diamond-encrusted faucets, but the house is indeed very big. My aunt said that usually it's just her, my cousin, and a few maids at home, and many rooms are empty. I heard that there's a home theater and a swimming pool in the basement. I haven't seen them yet, but I'll go check them out later."
The group chat erupted in cheers and a barrage of emojis before Jiang Yufei finally closed her laptop, satisfied.
While Jiang Yufei was busy showing off to her roommates, Jiang Rong was busy arranging for her parents, brother, and sister-in-law to move into the room.
After everything was arranged, Wu Xin desperately winked at Jiang Shan, reminding him not to forget to tell his aunt about that matter.
This was something we had discussed at home before coming here. Jiang Yufei would be a senior in college after the summer vacation. Because Jiang Yufei's college entrance examination results were not ideal, she barely managed to get into a private third-tier college in Jiangxi, majoring in hotel management.
According to the school's academic schedule, senior students in this major are required to intern at hotels in the south. To put it bluntly, they are working for free. There is no internship salary, and they have to pay for clothing and accommodation.
I have to go, otherwise I won't get my graduation certificate.
As for paying some money, Jiang Shan and his wife had no problem with that.
The couple's main concern was that their daughter couldn't bear to be too far away from them, but they didn't know how to solve the problem. After thinking it over, they realized that only their sister-in-law had the ability to help them solve this problem, so they decided to ask Jiang Rong for help.
Jiang Rong saw her sister-in-law desperately trying to wink at her brother. In fact, Wu Xin was doing it so obviously on purpose, hoping that her sister-in-law would see it and ask them.
Sure enough, Jiang Rong asked, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Wu Xin immediately grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and began to complain: "Auntie, it's not that your brother and I have anything we want to trouble you with, it's mainly about your niece."
To be honest, Jiang Rong has always cared about her niece. After the college entrance examination results came out, she consulted someone and suggested that her brother and sister-in-law send their niece to a good public junior college in Shanghai. She would find some teachers to tutor her individually, and then her niece could take the entrance exam for a bachelor's degree in her junior year, thus obtaining a full-time bachelor's degree.
Unfortunately, my brother and sister-in-law refused as soon as they heard it was a junior college. They felt that it was pointless to go to a junior college with a score that would get you into a bachelor's program and then have to go through the bachelor's program again.
Later, Jiang Rong suggested that Jiang Yufei join the army. It just so happened that her uncle Huang Dahai was in the army, and the country also encouraged college students to join the army. Jiang Rong thought that if she worked hard, she could pass the military academy entrance exam. If that didn't work out, she could become a non-commissioned officer in the army. After serving for twelve years, the country would also provide her with a job.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yufei immediately refused when her aunt asked her to join the army. She was afraid of hardship because she had heard since she was a child how much suffering her uncle had endured when he was in the army, and she didn't want to suffer that kind of hardship.
Now that she's about to graduate from university, Jiang Rong guesses that her brother and sister-in-law want to discuss their children's employment with her.
So when she heard her sister-in-law Wu Xin mention her niece, she took the initiative to inquire about her.
"What's wrong with Feifei?"
Seeing that her husband was hesitant and embarrassed to speak to his sister, Wu Xin had no choice but to say it herself: "Auntie, Feifei is about to start school! Her school is arranging internships, but the internship location is in Guangdong, which is too far from home. We already felt that Jiangxi was too far."
So we'd like to ask you, as her aunt, to help your niece find a place in Shanghai for an internship, somewhere close to you and to all of us, so we can take care of her.
Jiang Rong listened without saying anything.
Upon seeing this, Wu Xin quickly added, "Auntie, if Feifei were a boy, I would let her be. Boys need to go out and train. But she is a girl after all. You know, the South is more open-minded. I'm worried about Feifei."
"Sister-in-law, I understand. I'll ask someone to see if it works." After hearing her sister-in-law Wu Xin's words, Jiang Rong also felt that her niece's internship at the Southern Hotel was indeed somewhat inappropriate. So she decided to help, but she didn't rule it out completely, only agreeing to give it a try.
Wu Xin and Jiang Shan were overjoyed to hear that their sister had agreed to help.
Wu Xin, in particular, said: "I knew her aunt doted on Feifei the most."
Jiang Shan then said, "Yes, when Feifei was little, she was closest to her aunt." Jiang Shan was referring to how Jiang Rong doted on her niece even before she got married. So, the two of them knew best about their sister's feelings for Jiang Yufei.
