<h4>Chapter 536: Lu Sheng and Chu Yan Help Yang Chunmei Find a Job</h4>


    She turned her head to look at Yang Chunmei and realized that she was silently writing words.


    Perhaps because of her difficult family life, she was usually very hardworking and her results were among the top in the ss.


    Lu Sheng did not know Yang Chunmei’s family background, so she did not know what her original family was like.


    However, from her conversation with her mother today, she could tell that this family seemed to favor boys over girls.


    Lu Sheng actually admired her. It was not easy for her to have such a cheerful personality in such a family.


    Chen Yizhen really wanted to turn back and talk to Lu Sheng and Yang Chunmei. However, when she thought of what Zhou Mei and Lan Jia had told her today, she could only turn her head silently.


    Her family only did a small business. Moreover, she had to rely on the Zhu family to take care of her. She could not offend Zhu Ling.


    —————


    The next morning.


    Lu Sheng pulled Yang Chunmei to the dining hall.


    Initially, Yang Chunmei did not intend to eat breakfast. However, since Lu Sheng pulled her over, she could not refuse.


    However, the two of them had just finished ordering breakfast when Chu Yan and Pei Yan came over.


    Lu Sheng sent Chu Yan a message early in the morning and told him about Yang Chunmei’s situation. She even gave him a red packet worth a thousand yuan.


    Of course, Chu Yan did not ept it and even returned the money.


    Lu Sheng was helpless about this, but she did not insist on giving it to him.


    “Morning, Juniors!”


    Pei Yan greeted the two of them the moment he arrived.


    “Go and find a ce to sit first. We’lle overter.”


    After speaking to Lu Sheng, Chu Yan said to the auntie selling breakfast at the window, “We’ll pay togetherter.”


    The auntie smiled and nodded. “Okay, what do you want to eat?”


    “Well…”


    Yang Chunmei hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed.


    Lu Sheng pulled her to an empty table and sat down.


    “I’ll send you the money for breakfastter. Help me pass it to Senior Chu.”


    After sitting down, she spoke softly.


    Lu Sheng smiled and said, “No need. Chu Yan can still afford these few yuan.”


    “Even so, Senior Chu shouldn’t have paid for it. After all, I’m not close to him.”


    Lu Sheng deliberately twisted her meaning and smiled. “Then, won’t we be close after I introduce them to youter?”


    Yang Chunmei was speechless.


    Why did she keep feeling that Lu Sheng did it on purpose?


    Ever since yesterday, she had felt that Lu Sheng’s attitude towards her seemed strange, but she could not say what was strange.


    Chu Yan and Pei Yan came over with breakfast quickly. Lu Sheng also introduced the two of them to Yang Chunmei.


    Pei Yan introduced himself warmly while Chu Yan nodded lightly at Yang Chunmei.


    Halfway through breakfast, Ling Fei joined in.


    She nced at Yang Chunmei. Seeing that she was only focused on whispering to Lu Sheng and did not seem interested in Pei Yan, Ling Fei’s jealousy dissipated.


    Hence, for the next few days, Yang Chunmei did not have the chance to spend the remaining thirty-plus yuan.


    It was only on Friday that she could not help but ask Lu Sheng, “Jiang Jing, isn’t it not good for us to always freeload off Senior Chu?”


    Yes, for the past few days, Chu Yan had paid for almost every meal. Even Yang Chunmei felt embarrassed.


    Lu Sheng shrugged and said helplessly, “He wanted to fork out the money himself. I had no choice!”


    She had sent Chu Yan red packets a few times, but he had returned them all. She had no choice.


    Sigh, she had worked so hard to earn money so that she could raise Chu Sihan. She did not expect him to raise her in the end.


    Chu Yan knew that she liked milk tea and even sent her two cups of milk tea asionally.


    He even specially instructed her not to drink too much as it was not good for her health.


    Even without the memories of his previous life, he was still so thoughtful to her.


    One could only say that fate was really amazing.


    Seeing Yang Chunmei’s helpless expression, Lu Sheng hurriedly lifted her hand and hugged her. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll treat him next time. Will that do?”


    “It’s either you or him. The problem is that it’s not good for me to freeload.”


    She felt that it was natural for Chu Yan to treat Lu Sheng to a meal or Lu Sheng to treat Chu Yan to a meal.


    Because in her eyes, these two people were a couple.


    However, as an outsider, Lu Sheng kept bringing her there to freeload. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she would feel embarrassed after so many times.


    “I won’t drink today. When Senior Chues overter, you can eat with him yourself.”


    Lu Sheng pouted. “You’re unwilling to eat and drink for free?”


    Yang Chunmei red at her. “Is this a question of whether I’m happy or not? Not only once or twice, but thrice a day. I freeload every day. Anyone would be embarrassed.”


    “Then, take it that you’re basking in my glory.” Lu Sheng held her face with both hands and blinked at her. She said narcissistically, “I’m so good-looking. Am I not worthy of being your long-term meal ticket?”


    “Get out.”


    Yang Chunmei was touched, but she did not know whether tough or cry.


    She had a good rtionship with her ssmates, but there was still a barrier between them. Lu Sheng was the closest to her.


    She had never told her ssmates or friends about her family’s situation. Firstly, she was afraid that she would be upset. Secondly, she was afraid that they would sympathize with her or distance themselves from her after knowing.


    All these years, she had tried her best to show her cheerful side to everyone and even get along well with them.


    However, there was actually a silent inferiorityplex hidden in her bones. This inferiorityplex also made her rarely go further with others.


    She was afraid that they would discover her inferiorityplex.


    She had started working since she was thirteen and was in a hurry to earn her tuition fees and living expenses during the winter break.


    As she went out to work very early, she had seen many different kinds of people and learned to read people’s faces.


    If Zhu Ling had not gone too far yesterday, she would have endured and let them order her around.


    Precisely because of this, she could feel that Lu Sheng was sincere in treating her well.


    Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I heard from Zhu Ling and the rest yesterday that you’re working in a restaurant?”


    “Yes.” Yang Chunmei nodded. “I’ll find part-time jobs to do every weekend to earn some extra money.”


    “Really?”


    Lu Sheng pondered and said, “You know the milk tea shop outside our school, right?”


    Yang Chunmei nodded. “I know. Business is good.”


    “I remember that they hire part-time workers. They work eight hours a day, and their sry seems to be one hundred and fifty yuan a day.”


    “A hundred and fifty?” Yang Chunmei’s eyes widened. “Really?”


    In restaurants, she usually washed the dishes or served the dishes. She only earned seventy-five yuan a day.


    “Really.” Lu Sheng nodded. “Why don’t I apany you to ask after school in the afternoon?”


    “Okay.”


    If she really had a hundred and fifty yuan a day, she would have three hundred yuan for two days a week. Her living expenses for the next two weeks would be settled.


    “ss is starting. Go back to your seat quickly.”


    Lu Sheng pushed her up.


    Although Yang Chunmei wanted to sit with her, she dismissed this n because Zhu Ling was in front.


    Zhu Ling and the rest went out after the second lesson. She did not know where they went, but Lu Sheng felt that they must have gone to the toilet.


    Girls could only go to those few ces in school.


    After school in the afternoon, Yang Chunmei did not follow them to the dining hall. Instead, she used the excuse that she had something on and avoided them first.


    Lu Sheng did not force her this time.


    “You’re saying that Qi Jing owns that milk tea shop?”


    Lu Sheng asked Chu Yan as she walked.


    Chu Yan nodded. “He opened it casually back then. He didn’t expect business to be so good.”


    “This is called unintentional sess.”


    Lu Sheng smiled and continued, “Chunmei can work there.”


    “Qi Jing said that if she’s willing, she can go over and help after school in the afternoon. We finish school at half past five in the afternoon. For her situation, she can share with the teacher and attend school in the day. Then, she can work from six to eleven in the evening. Qi Jing said he can provide aodation as well. The sry is the same. It’s one hundred and fifty to two hundred yuan a day.”


    Lu Sheng felt that it was alright. She nodded. “Then I’ll go back and tell herter. Let’s see how she makes the arrangements.”


    She did not know where Pei Yan went today. Without him, Ling Fei would note over.


    Fu Sisi and Yu Mingyue got takeouts and returned to the dormitory to eat. Hence, there were only Lu Sheng and Chu Yan today.


    The duo went to the third floor and ordered a huge serving of chicken stew. After eating, they returned to their respective dormitories to rest.


    When Lu Sheng reached the fourth floor, she went straight to Yang Chunmei’s dormitory.


    Perhaps to train the students’ bodies, there were elevators everywhere except the dormitory.


    “You’re done?”


    Yang Chunmei, who had just finished eating cup noodles, turned back and saw Lu Sheng.


    “Yes.”


    Lu Sheng nodded and looked at her. “Just now, I went to the milk tea shop to understand for you. They said that if you’re willing, you can apply to study in school in the day. Then, you can work from six thirty in the evening after school. You can stay in school during your lunch break. At night, you can stay in the dormitory provided by them. Your sry is one hundred and fifty to two hundred yuan a day.”


    “Really?!”


    Yang Chunmei could not believe that such a good thing had happened.


    “Really.” Lu Sheng nodded and said, “However, you can’t drop your studies just to earn money.”


    “Don’t worry. I can put down everything except my studies.”


    After all, this was her only way out of that family.


    In that family, only her parents, brother, and grandparents were family. However, she was like an outsider and did not fit in with them.


    She and her brother were twins. They were born on the same day, but she deserved to be ‘specially treated’ because she was a daughter.


    Ever since she was young, it was already not easy to have a full meal. As for delicious snacks and fun toys, she never dared to dream of them.


    Actually, her family was not that poor. She had always been the only one in poverty.


    Her parents grew vegetables. They earned at least seventy to eighty thousand yuan annually. At best, they earned about a hundred thousand yuan.


    In addition to her parents’ thrifty personality, there were at least a few hundred thousand yuan in their cards.


    It was just that they were unwilling to spend the money on her.


    If not for the fact that nine years of education waspulsory, she even felt that her parents did not want her to study.


    She did not know what sins she hadmitted in her previous life to be born into such a family.


    She smiled at Lu Sheng and said, “I’ll find Teacher Li before school ends in the afternoon.”


    Lu Sheng nodded. “Then, I’ll return to the dormitory.”


    “Okay.”


    Lu Sheng smiled at her and left.


    After school in the afternoon, Yang Chunmei went to find Teacher Li.


    Pei Yan, Chu Yan, and Ling Fei came over to wait for Lu Sheng to go home.


    Lu Sheng did not expect it to be Friday again. Time passed quickly.


    Fu Sisi, Yu Mingyue, and the rest had gone to Erzhong after school. They must have gone to find Yun Ting and Shi Yi.


    “Why don’t you go back first? I’ll wait for a friend,” Lu Sheng suggested.


    Needless to say, Chu Yan would definitely stay.


    As for Pei Yan and Ling Fei, the chauffeur was already waiting outside, so the two of them left first.


    Yang Chunmei left for about twenty minutes before returning. Seeing her smile, Lu Sheng guessed that Teacher Li had agreed to her application to attend day school.


    “Sorry for the wait!”


    She looked at the duo apologetically.


    “It’s fine. Let’s go to the milk tea shop.”


    Yang Chunmei nodded. After taking her bag and leaving the ssroom, she suddenly said worriedly, “Do you think they won’t want me?”


    If that was the case, wouldn’t it be too early for her to apply for day school?


    Would she not have a ce to stay then?


    It was all her fault. When she heard that the sry was high, she became obsessed with money. She actually did not think about these in advance.


    Lu Sheng promised her, “Don’t worry. The manager said that he wants you.”


    “Really?”


    “Really!”


    “Then, let’s go over quickly. Don’t let them wait too long!”


    As Yang Chunmei spoke, she pulled Lu Sheng and walked forward anxiously.


    Chu Yan followed Lu Sheng silently.


    Perhaps because Qi Jing had greeted the manager in advance, Yang Chunmei’s interview went smoothly.


    The manager told her toe to work from tomorrow onwards and even brought her to see the dormitory.


    The dormitory was in an apartment opposite the milk tea shop. She would be staying with the other employees.


    After checking the dormitory and confirming the beds, Yang Chunmei returned to school to pack her things. Chu Yan and Lu Sheng took a taxi home.


    Halfway through the journey, Lu Zhou sent Lu Sheng a message.


    He told her to go to a certain private room in Jade Hotel and not go home as no one cooked.


    Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. At the mention of Jade Hotel, Lu Sheng thought of the golden card Chu Yan gave her previously.


    She looked at Chu Yan and asked, “I’m going to the Jade Hotel. Do you want toe along?”


    Chu Yan nodded. “Okay.”


    Lu Sheng smiled and hurriedly gave the driver the new address.


    When the driver heard the name of Jade Hotel, he looked at them in surprise from the rear mirror.


    From the moment they reported the district, the driver knew that the two of them were not from ordinary families.


    However, some rich people did not dare to spend money at the Jade Hotel. It was too expensive.


    Even so, the driver did not say anything. He only sighed silently in his heart. It was good to be rich!


    The taxi stopped outside the Jade Hotel quickly. The security guard did not pay much attention at first.


    After all, they were used to seeing luxurious cars. A taxi naturally did not pique their interest.


    However, when he saw the person walking down, he was stunned.


    After a while, he stuttered, “Young… Young Master, why are you here?”


    The security guard had worked here for seven years. The Chu family would gather at the Jade Hotel once or twice a year. Although he only saw Chu Yan once or twice a year, the security guard had a deep impression of him.
