"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Editor-in-Chief Qu accepted the contract signed by Fu Yuan'er and extended his hand to her enthusiastically.
Fu Yuan'er shook hands with her, and her enthusiasm made Fu Yuan'er feel unreal.
But it would be nice to find a job, and the job pays well.
At least after paying the rent and necessary expenses, she can still save some.
When she returned home, the sound of the baby's crying immediately reached her ears.
"Yu'er!" She quickly washed her hands and walked into the baby room quickly.
The pink and tender little girl, less than three months old, was crying in her aunt's arms.
"Mom is here, let her hold her." The aunt put the child in Fu Yuan'er's arms.
Miraculously, the child who was crying loudly gradually stopped crying and fell asleep peacefully in her arms.
"Oh, you are such a filial daughter!" Auntie said with a smile, "Auntie has had you for a month now, why don't you kiss me at all?"
Auntie is Yan Yan's mother. She is retired and has nothing to do at home, so Yan Yan pulled her over to help take care of the children.
In Yan Yan's words, since her mother regards Fu Yuan'er as her own daughter, she should fulfill her "mother" obligations.
Thanks to her aunt's help, Fu Yuan'er was able to survive her confinement period and now she can go out and find a job again.
"I haven't hugged her properly these past few days." Fu Yuan'er said apologetically.
The aunt patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, aunt will help you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"That's a big deal," the aunt shook her head, "You stay with Yu'er for a while, I'll go cook first."
Fu Yuan'er hugged this soft and fragrant little body and looked at her pink and tender face, her heart filled with love.
"Baby, mom found a job today," she said softly, "starting tomorrow, mom will go to work every day and won't be back with you until evening. You will be very happy to have Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan with you, right?"
Looking back on this year, she insisted on sending her mother abroad and not letting Yu Lingfei, Murong Jue and the others find any reason to do so.
Although the Fu family's house remained there, she, Yu'er, Yan Yan and Yan Yan's parents didn't need to live in such a big house, so she rented this four-bedroom apartment.
Her previous apartment has been sold and replaced with an apartment in a school district with a staggering price~
So the money she received from the Fu family every month was put into her mortgage. Moreover, her grandfather made a major asset adjustment six months ago, and the children of the Fu family received less and less money from the Fu family's account.
Grandpa probably really wants the Fu family to fall out of the celebrity circle of City A completely.
Of course, her mother is still rich, but she wants to support Yu'er on her own.
The key is that she doesn't want to have any contact with her mother and give Murong Jue another chance.
"Yu'er, is the life your mother can give you too hard?" She kissed the child's little face, "But what I want to tell you is that even if I go to your father, our life will not be much better.
"
Because your dad has gone bankrupt a long time ago.
Moreover, he is going to marry another woman.
Fu Yuan'er lowered her face, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly cheered up.
"It doesn't matter, Yu'er, mom will work hard from tomorrow, and we will live a good life."
After becoming a mother, she automatically became stronger.
During the meal, Yan's mother casually mentioned that Yan Yan had accepted a commercial and was going to shoot in the desert for three days.
But the round trip will take a week.
Fu Yuan'er felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Yan Yan indeed spent more than half a year with her until she gave birth.
Although Yan's mother later took over taking care of her and Yan Yan continued to work, her resources suddenly dropped by three levels in the highly competitive entertainment industry.
In the past, the agency would never let Yan Yan shoot an advertisement like this that required shooting in the desert, because she had to take care of her skin.
But now, I mix it at will, like ordering pie with my eyes closed.
"When will she leave?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
"In the afternoon." Yan's mother replied.
Fu Yuan'er looked at the time and saw that it was only half past twelve, so there was still time.
"Auntie, I'll go and be right back." She grabbed her bag and left quickly.
"What's the rush? I'm leaving before finishing the meal. Please slow down..."
Fu Yuan'er rushed directly to Yan Yan's agency. She first went to the front desk to register.
"Who are you looking for?" the security guard asked.
"Yan Yan."
Hearing this, the security guard raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "Yan Yan, people like her are not allowed to see guests in the company. Stop registering and get out."
"Why?" Fu Yuan'er questioned: "What does it look like to be like her?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't it just the leftover goods that have been selected by others?" The security guard said with disdain.
The next second, a "pop" sound was heard, and he received a solid slap on the face.
"Keep your mouth clean!" Fu Yuan'er roared.
"You dare to hit me!" The security guard, who was holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, raised his hand and hit her head with the walkie-talkie like a brick.
They were too close, and he couldn't avoid her slap, and she couldn't avoid his walkie-talkie... but the walkie-talkie just didn't hit her head.
"Stop!" A hand held the security guard's arm from behind, and then pushed hard.
The people next to him, including the security guards, all looked stern and lowered their faces: "Mr. Ji."
Fu Yuan'er was stunned. She didn't expect that when she returned to City A, the first old acquaintance she saw would be him.
She calmed down and turned around, "Ji Senzhuo, long time no see."
"Follow me." Ji Senzhuo nodded.
He took her to the office, where the words "General Manager" were hung on the door.
Fu Yuan'er was particularly curious: "When did you take over this company?"
"I'm just a shareholder," he replied, "this is not my office."
Fu Yuan'er understood, and he acquired part of the company's shares.
But she immediately became angry, "So you are a shareholder, why do you allow them to treat Yan Yan like this?"
"Are you talking about sending her to the desert for filming?" Ji Sendhuo raised his eyebrows.
"Her resources have been reduced by more than three levels. How can we explain this?" she asked.
Ji Senzhuo was a little helpless, "If I said that these were all chosen by Yan Yan herself, would you believe it?"
After he knew that Yan Yan was an artist in this company, he told the general manager to take care of her.
But she doesn't accept costume dramas.
She doesn't accept urban comedies.
The first female lead and the second female lead will not be accepted.
I will not accept announcements with super A-list celebrities.
So far, apart from some live broadcast activities, the only roles she is willing to accept are the villain and this desert commercial.
"Can't you see what she is running from?" Ji Sendhuo asked.
Fu Yuan'er was stunned, "So, I have wronged you."
Ji Senzhuo spread his hands indifferently, "Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. I sent people to find you, but I have no clue... Where have you been in the past year?"
"I gave birth to a child," she replied, "I am currently fulfilling the responsibility of a mother and working hard to raise her."
"The person who should also fulfill his responsibility is the father of the child."
"Really," Fu Yuan'er asked, "but I heard that you and Cheng Muying divorced, and you didn't give her a child."
Ji Senzhuo suddenly lowered his eyes: "Why did she get the child?"
There seemed to be hatred in his eyes.
"Yuan'er!" At this time, Yan Yan arrived at the door of the office.
"Ji Senzhuo, I won't tell you any more. We'll talk to you next time."
After saying that, Fu Yuan'er turned around, pulled Yan Yan and left.
"Wow," Yan Yan said immediately after exiting the back door of the company: "Sure enough, time is magic, there is no spark between you two!"
"When did we have a spark with him?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
If there is, it is also a one-way spark.
"First you had it, then he had it, and just now I felt like you both had it," Yan Yan said.
Fu Yuan'er's eyes lit up, that was really a good thing.
But now is not the time to talk about this issue.
"Yan Yan, why did you go to the desert to shoot a commercial and go back and forth for more than ten days? Can your skin handle it?" she asked.
Yan Yan shrugged indifferently: "I rarely go to the desert, and this time I happened to hug it up close."
Fu Yuan'er glanced at her, so she must be tough.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat together." She walked to the food court in front and took Yan Yan to a restaurant that specializes in boiled meat slices.
"Is there any happy event for eating so hard?" Yan Yan asked.
Fu Yuan'er smiled: "I found a job, Metro News, deputy editor."
Yan Yan also laughed: "It makes you happy, can their editor-in-chief go to New A Daily and become the chief reporter?"
"Do they know who you are? A good knife is used to chop wood, right?"
Fu Yuan'er pursed her lips: "Wouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment if I turned a small newspaper into a big one?"
She likes this sense of accomplishment very much.
Yan Yan:……
Okay, as long as she likes it.
"How did Ji Senzhuo get involved in your company?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
"Ji Senzhuo's company is very powerful now. It invests in companies everywhere." Yan Yan suddenly thought of a question, "I heard that he also invested in newspapers. What kind of newspaper are you talking about? Could it be that he also invested money?"
Fu Yuan'er was stunned, she had thought about this aspect.
But really ask about this.
After saying goodbye to Yan Yan, she went directly to Ji Senzhuo's office.
But there was another person sitting in the office.
"Where is Ji Senzhuo?" Facing the other party's questioning eyes, Fu Yuan'er asked.
"Mr. Ji has left." The other party replied, "He left ten minutes ago."
Fu Yuan'er quickly turned around and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the other party, "You look familiar to me, are you this person?"
The other party motioned her to go to the computer to look at it, and it turned out to be Fu Yuan'er's photo, which she had submitted in order to apply for a newspaper job.
"You...how could you have this?" Fu Yuan'er was confused.
The other party shrugged disapprovingly, "The newspaper has been acquired by Mr. Ji. It is appropriate for the HR Department to send the information of new employees to Mr. Ji for review."
"Is the name of this newspaper called Metropolis News?"
"Yes, that's it."
Fu Yuan'er's original good mood suddenly disappeared.
It turns out that Editor-in-Chief Qu kept her here not because of how strong she was, but because someone was forcing the Editor-in-Chief.
On the way home, she thought a lot.
If you continue to stay in this small newspaper, you must be related to Ji Senzhuo.
If she chooses to resign, she will not only have to pay liquidated damages, but also have to find a new job.
Because she used to be a rich young lady, she didn't have to make many choices, so now it feels particularly difficult to make this choice.
Finally, she made a decision to go to Ji Senzhuo and talk to him about the matter.
