Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 181 [180] Very prestigious

What is the first priority if you want to be a qualified and excellent assistant?
Of course I want to be an assistant!
How can I be a good assistant if I only see Mr. Xu a few times a day, like before?

After reflecting on her actions, Xie Wanqing quickly set an alarm, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

Knowing that Xu Jinhuan was going to the library with Chen Xingzhu the next day, she decided to go with them as well.

While Xu Jinhuan worked and studied, I would also study and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. If she had any needs, I would take the initiative to find out and try my best to meet them.

That's how you gradually become a good assistant!

However, the more she tried to sleep, the less she could. She tossed and turned, trying her best not to pick up her phone, lest she spend another half a day unable to sleep. She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally drifted off to sleep.

"call--"

Chen Xingzhu opened her eyes, slowly exhaled, then picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table. Seeing that it was already 8:20 in the morning, she lay in bed for a while, waiting for the alarm to ring before turning off the alarm and the air conditioner and leaving the room.

In the past, even on weekends, she would not sleep this long at home, because if Li Yunxue was home and got up first, it might cause trouble.

Moving here means she won't have to worry about these things and can sleep in a little longer.

Upon entering the bathroom, Chen Xingzhu placed her phone beside her and played some soft music before beginning her washing up.

"Are you up?"

She had just put down her toothbrush and was rinsing her mouth when Xie Wanqing's gentle voice suddenly came from behind her.

Chen Xingzhu turned around in surprise and saw Xie Wanqing standing at the bathroom door. She asked softly, "Sister Wanqing, did I disturb you?"

"No,"

Xie Wanqing shook her head and smiled, "I set the alarm myself... It's okay, you go wash up."

Chen Xingzhu quickly finished washing up and came out. Xie Wanqing was doing stretching in the living room and asked, "Are you going to the library?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu responded softly, somewhat guessing what Xie Wanqing was going to say.

"Then I'll go with you, I'll go study too."

Xie Wanqing smiled at her, "Besides, I'm also your CEO Xu's assistant, is that alright?"

"We're just classmates."

Chen Xingzhu was a little embarrassed, "Then let's go together later."

Xie Wanqing went to wash up, then turned back and asked, "Are you going to their house for breakfast?"

"do not know."

Chen Xingzhu was hesitating when her phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and said to Xie Wanqing, "He's calling us to have breakfast."

"Let me brush my teeth first."

Xie Wanqing went to wash up, while Chen Xingzhu sent Xu Jinhuan a message: "Is breakfast enough? Sister Wanqing is up too, she's going to the library too."

Xu Jinhuan was unaware that Xie Wanqing had gotten up; he was only calling out to her.

Xu Jinhuan quickly replied, "Enough."

Thanks to the trauma of my father's childhood that left a mark on our family, I've always cooked a lot; otherwise, it's hard to say what would have happened.

Chen Xingzhu: "Then let's wait."

She went back to her room to pack her things first. Xie Wanqing quickly washed up and came out, saying to Chen Xingzhu, "You go eat first, I'll just grab my things and go."

"Not in a hurry."

Chen Xingzhu waited for her to get the books and computer, then they went downstairs together with her bag and knocked on Xu Jinhuan's door.

"If you don't come soon, I'll have finished eating."

Xu Jinhuan opened the door and greeted her with a smile, "Are you going to the library today too, sister?"

"Ok!"

After her enlightenment last night, Xie Wanqing is now much more at ease in front of Xu Jinhuan, no longer feeling so guilty or flustered.

'I'm doing this to make money, not to find love!'

She told herself this in her heart. Before she even went in, she saw Xiao Guai dart over, then jump over him and pounce at Chen Xingzhu's feet.

Even Xiao Guai prefers Xing Zhu...

Xie Wanqing felt a pang of sadness for no reason, so she quickly comforted herself, put down her schoolbag, and asked, "Aren't your uncle and aunt here?"

"go to work."

Xu Jinhuan sat down at the table. "There's mung bean porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and a fried dough stick. Which of you two can eat these?"

Chen Xingzhu was teasing Xiao Guai, and Xie Wanqing wanted to tease her too, but Xiao Guai ignored her, so she sat down and said, "Xingzhu, eat."

Chen Xingzhu walked over carrying Xiao Guai and said with a gentle smile, "Sister Wanqing, you can eat it."

"Half for each person."

Both of them said they would let the other eat, but neither said they wouldn't eat, so they were obviously going to eat. So they took their chopsticks and split the fried dough sticks in two.

The two of them didn't stand on ceremony anymore. After each eating one, Xie Wanqing said, "It's pretty good. I haven't had it in a long time."

"Me too."

Chen Xingzhu chuckled, "It seems that people absorb nutrients better in the morning, and eating greasy food makes it easier to gain weight."

"Uh-huh!"

Xie Wanqing nodded and then asked, "Do you exercise regularly?"

Chen Xingzhu shook his head.

"really envy you."

Xie Wanqing turned to look at her, especially staring at her chest, legs, and waist. "So thin... I exercise regularly, but I still gain weight."

"No, my sister has a great figure."

Chen Xingzhu praised, "Zhizhi and I are both very envious."

"I'm the one who envies you guys."

Xu Jinhuan was still in the way, so Xie Wanqing was too embarrassed to say that she disliked her bloated chest and that dressing was such a hassle; she either looked fat or indecent, unlike the two of them who looked so good in their clothes.

Xu Jinhuan didn't join their conversation, instead scrolling through the news on her phone. Only after they finished did she look up and ask, "Should I call my mom?"

Chen Xingzhu looked at him with a puzzled expression, while Xie Wanqing asked, "Why are you making a phone call?"

"Otherwise, how will my mom show off her new phone?"

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "My mom doesn't usually have many things to show off. She's not very skilled at it, and she's afraid of it being stolen or lost, so she probably wouldn't even take it out of her pocket..."

"Then go ahead and hit me."

Xie Wanqing chuckled and said, "Otherwise, if Auntie quits her job, she won't have anything to brag about." Chen Xingzhu asked, "Won't that affect Auntie's work?"

"They should be at their morning meeting now."

Xu Jinhuan timed it perfectly, "Anyway, my mom's going to quit her job soon, and there will be a lot of people at the meeting, which is a good opportunity to show off..."

"Then go ahead and hit me."

Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but chuckle and gave the same answer as Xie Wanqing had just given. They then exchanged a glance, their eyes clearly showing smiles.

"I think so too."

Xu Jinhuan then took out his phone and called his mother.

"dong dong dong"

Inside the Suguo supermarket, Song Xiaohui was standing with her colleagues, listening to the manager give his daily routine address.

This kind of meeting isn't entirely meaningless, but it's better if it doesn't exist. As a result, the colleagues below aren't very enthusiastic and are just waiting to get through it.

Because Song Xiaohui was about to resign, she wasn't as impatient as usual. She was looking at her colleagues when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, accompanied by a loud ringtone.

There was even a faint glimmer of light coming through the pocket, flashing intermittently.

The manager's speech was interrupted and stopped. Other colleagues around also looked over. Because of this interlude, everyone was more energetic than when listening to the meaningless speech.

Among the staff were young people, some of whom recognized the default iPhone ringtone and couldn't help but wonder which of their colleagues would use such an expensive phone.

When they saw Song Xiaohui frantically pull her phone out of her pocket, the flash going off, several people who recognized her couldn't help but show surprise.

How could a saleswoman earn just over a thousand yuan a month and possibly use such an expensive phone?
And it looks brand new!
Song Xiaohui was a little surprised to see that it was her son calling, but he probably didn't have anything important to do at home, and his lecture was about to end, so she thought she could call him back later and hung up the phone.

She still remembered the instructions given to her by the prospective daughters-in-law yesterday, and when she saw the green arrow button on the screen, she knew that sliding it would connect the call.

But how did I get disconnected?
I think I mentioned it yesterday, but I forgot...

She looked for a long time but couldn't see it, so she hurriedly tapped the screen twice with her phone.

"Thump thump thump thump thump thump"

"Thump thump thump thump thump thump"

The phone was still ringing. Song Xiaohui touched the power button and finally remembered it. She pressed the button, and the phone finally stopped ringing.

She had just received her new phone and was afraid of breaking it, so she only pressed the power button once to test it. As a result, the call hadn't ended yet, but it was good that it wasn't ringing anymore. Song Xiaohui quickly put the phone back.

"So be it."

Distracted like this, the higher-ups didn't know what to say, so they hastily ended the reprimand.

"You changed your phone?"

A colleague who was on good terms with Song Xiaohui noticed that her phone had changed and came over after the meeting to ask, "Wasn't your phone working perfectly fine before? Why did you change it?"

"My son insists on changing it."

Song Xiaohui wanted to show off a little, but didn't know how to say it, so she just smiled.

"Aunt Song,"

A young girl nearby also came over, blinked, and asked in surprise, "You bought an iPhone?"

"you know?"

Song Xiaohui was pleasantly surprised, "It seems so, it's called something like a seam..."

"iPhone? It's an American brand."

The girl asked a little shyly, "Could you let me see... what number is this?"

"My son bought it,"

Song Xiaohui finally spoke with more confidence, her voice rising as she carefully handed the phone to her, "It's called something like 'Seam 4S,' it has a letter..."

"An iPhone 4S? The new one!"

The girl gasped, quickly attracting several more young people to gather around. "Really?"

"Aunt Song, how much is it?"

"Isn't it still around 4700 or 4800 yuan at the 4S store now?"

"So expensive?"

The moment the price was mentioned, everyone around immediately erupted in an uproar. These days, iPhones were just beginning to penetrate the lower-tier markets, and many people around Song Xiaohui's age hadn't even heard of them yet.

"Your son bought you such an expensive phone?"

"Where did your son get the money? Isn't it still your money?"

Many older women gathered around, asking questions all at once. Some who were close to Song Xiaohui and knew a little about the situation couldn't help but ask, "Did your son earn money from that game?"

"what game?"

Can you make money playing games?

"No, it's his son making the game himself."

"so smart?"

"how old are you?"

"Isn't your son studying at No. 1 High School?"

……

Song Xiaohui hadn't expected a cell phone to cause such a commotion, with even the manager coming over to ask questions. A little flustered, she hurriedly said, "He taught himself, and I don't really understand the process... Anyway, you can play games on the phone, watch ads, and get ad revenue..."

"Wow!"

"As expected of students from No. 1 High School, they're really amazing!"

"How much money did you make?"

"Two phones cost almost ten thousand yuan, what a waste..."

“His son can earn his own money, so it’s none of your business how he spends it.”

"That's right, doesn't that just prove that Old Song's son is filial?"

Many colleagues who usually only exchange greetings or whose names they don't even know have started discussing and praising him.

Song Xiaohui was not used to being the center of attention. She had worked at this supermarket for several years and this was the first time she had received such treatment. She had never experienced this before, not even when her son was admitted to the top high school.

She knew that many of the things people said were just social niceties and shouldn't be taken seriously; who knew what they were saying behind her back? But to her ears, they just sounded pleasant, comfortable, and she enjoyed the feeling.

I felt so proud and glamorous, and suddenly my life seemed to have meaning again. I couldn't stop smiling, and I even thought about delaying my resignation...
