Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend

Ning Xi, after washing up, made herself breakfast and cleared out the stale watermelon from the refrigerator.

She put on a very exquisite makeup and dawdled until nine o'clock before leaving the house.

The first interview location was the Magnolia Grand Theatre in the new city. The position she was interviewing for was a dance rehearsal teacher for the theatre's children's art troupe.

There were three interviewers, one of whom was an older, serious-looking woman who frowned after reviewing Ning Xi's resume.

She's a recent graduate born in the 00s and lacks experience. She needs an experienced colleague.

The other two people in charge were very satisfied with Ning Xi's appearance, physique, and temperament.

Ning Xi showed no unease or stage fright. She calmly and confidently demonstrated her body language and dance skills at the request of the organizers.

The manager, who showed dissatisfaction after reading her resume, was immediately impressed after watching her performance.

In subsequent communications, she was the one communicating with Ning Xi the entire time.

After listening to the job responsibilities, details of the work after joining the company, as well as the salary structure and working hours, Ning Xi smiled and said that she understood.

The probationary period is one month, with a base salary of 4500. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary will be 6000. Including teaching fees, rehearsal and performance subsidies, the total take-home pay will be around 9000. During peak season, it will be even higher.

There are also paid winter and summer vacations.

The person in charge said, "Our team usually rests on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we specifically asked you to come for an interview today. If you are hired, can you start work this Wednesday?"

Ning Xi said, "Okay."

Her voice was calm, composed, and confident from beginning to end, without any eagerness or anticipation.

Ning Xi added the person in charge on WeChat.

An hour had passed by the time I left the theater.

Ning Xi didn't eat lunch outside; she planned to cook at home.

It was too hot, so she went to Luckin Coffee and bought a 9.9 yuan iced coffee.

Cheng Rou made several video calls during her interview.

Ning Xi was glad that she had put her phone on silent before the interview.

She had just boarded the subway when Cheng Rou called again, relentlessly.

She answered the video call without much emotion.

Cheng Rou noticed Ning Xi's coldness. "Ning Xi, do you have time now? Can we talk? Teacher Ning called me this morning. Don't worry, I told her I've already contacted you."

Ning Xi gave a forced smile.

She understood Cheng Rou's unspoken meaning: if Cheng Rou didn't want to talk to her, she would complain to Ning Fangping.

Ning Xi said she was very busy today.

Cheng Rou said tomorrow is also fine.

Ning Xi didn't want Ning Fangping to come to Xincheng to take her back to Hemeng, nor did she want Cheng Rou to keep interfering between her and Ning Fangping.

She agreed to meet Cheng Rou for afternoon tea at a coffee shop the next day.

After hanging up the video call, Ning Xi saw a text message in her unread messages confirming that the 120,000 yuan she had been scammed out of had been deposited into her account.

Her heart finally settled down.

These two million will be returned to Meng Yizhen in full!

Ningxi's interview for the cosmetics counter at the mall in the afternoon went very smoothly.

That evening, both families gave her a reply that she could go to work.

Ning Xi had just finished dinner and was lounging lazily on the sofa when she fell into a brief moment of hesitation.

She used navigation to calculate her commute distance. The theater was a 30-minute subway ride or a 10-minute walk from where she was moving. The commute would be under 40 minutes, which would reduce work stress.

Working in a shopping mall involves a one-hour commute, with wages calculated on commission, KPIs, high work pressure, and a relatively complex environment.

Ning Xi didn't hesitate and chose the first job.

He Kezhou's fixed day off is Monday, and he has one more day off, which is a workday schedule adjustment.

In this way, they can be in sync one day.

Thinking of He Kezhou, Ning Xi sent him a screenshot of the chat where she had found a job.

After thinking for a moment, she called her aunt.

This call was much calmer than yesterday's.

When Ning Fangping heard Ning Xi say that she had found a new job and wanted to stay in Xincheng, she remained silent for a long time.

How long can you do this job?

Ning Xi: "Auntie, I don't know how long I'll do this job. But I'll always remember what you taught me when I was little. To hold onto your bottom line and self-respect, to have your own thoughts and stance, to have an independent personality and courage—these are the qualities that no one can take away from you."

Ning Fangping was silent for a few seconds. "Anything else?"

Ning Xi said earnestly, "Never depend on others, and never place your hopes on others."

Ning Fangping: "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. I'm not forcing you to go back to Hemeng, but don't do one thing to my face and another behind my back. I'm coming to see you in Xincheng this Saturday, which is a holiday."

"Ningxi, I want you to remember this: no matter what kind of society this is, make money honestly and don't lose your conscience."
