70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 208: Graduation Is Coming

After enduring the lifeless days of the apocalypse for more than half a year, although she wasn’t a particularly lively person, she still preferred something vibrant, like Yin Yang, who could cheer her up.

Xu Xue must have seen something in Huo Qingze; she remained so enthusiastic despite his indifference.

Xu Mumu went to make some milk powder for her little brother, and while she was feeding the little guy, Huo Qingze had already left, and Xu Xue happily headed to her room.

Having assigned various study tasks to the kids, Xu Mumu didn’t pay too much attention to them. She needed to cultivate their self-discipline since she couldn’t keep watch on their studies all the time.

Her little brother wasn’t as soft as when he was just born; now, he knew to reach out and grab things, and his favorite is still his sister’s hair.

Xu Mumu’s hair had grown a bit longer, and she couldn’t bear to cut it. This glossy black hair was just too beautiful.

Study time always flew by, and soon it was June, nearing graduation.

Xu Mumu looked at her classmates in class; most of them had smiles on their faces, happy about graduation, while some were a little melancholic.

Not all students in the school came from well-off families; some had tough financial conditions, making it hard for them to find jobs after graduation. Quite a few were worried about employment.

"Mumu, my mom asked me to check if you’re interested in working at the shoe factory after graduation. She can supervise you personally," Du Yu said with a big grin.

"Please thank Mrs. Qin for me, but no need." Xu Mumu declined. Every time she visited Du Yu’s house, Qin Jie was overly hospitable, and it was overwhelming. Offering her a job was too much generosity to accept.

Besides, the shoe factory wasn’t suitable for her; she preferred working at the physics lab base, where she was more adept at translations.

After graduation, she planned to visit the lab once more to meet Luo Yanrui and see if she could take on the translation work. The college entrance exam was in the winter, and the official announcement of its resumption wouldn’t be until October—just before the exams.

The meeting to discuss the resumption of exams and find people to attend would be in August; the meeting itself wouldn’t happen until September. There was so much to handle.

Compared to others, she had quite a few advantages already.

Once the news about the exam resumption was released, she would have her prepared materials printed and sold.

"Why not? Our shoe factory is great. If you join, you’ll certainly get a permanent position with good benefits, and even housing." Du Yu passionately praised his factory—or not exactly his, but state-owned.

"Is it really okay for you to be so openly helping me get in through the back door?" Xu Mumu remarked, a bit speechless. This guy’s so naive; wasn’t he afraid she’d take advantage of him?

"It’s fine, my parents like you, and since you’re a high school student, bringing you in is naturally a good thing." Du Yu replied nonchalantly.

"No need. I’m not in a rush for a job; I can look around more." Xu Mumu shook her head, choosing not to take advantage of him.

"Oh, do you just not like the shoe factory? It’s quite nice inside." Du Yu looked a bit disappointed.

"No, I don’t dislike it; I just think it’s unsuitable for me. I’m only good with writing, not much else." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"My mom is in charge of the women’s federation, and they often need to write reports. Every time, it gives her a headache. If you go, she’d definitely welcome you." Du Yu’s eyes lit up at the opportunity.

Xu Mumu was his good friend, and naturally he wanted to help her more.

"Your mom is the women’s federation director; hiring a high school student should be no problem, right?" Xu Mumu said helplessly. With a word from Qin Jie, many would volunteer to write for her.

"Yes, but my mom is so picky when she works. She’s gone through several secretaries before deciding to handle everything herself." Du Yu laughed, explaining.

"You should give it a try. You’re already submitting your own work; you definitely write better than others." Du Yu looked at Xu Mumu, his eyes filled with hope. It would be great to see her often even after graduation.

"Let me think about it." Xu Mumu wasn’t in a rush to agree. Translation was exhausting, and a less demanding job might be nice.

"You have to think it over; my mom really likes you. She’d be delighted if you came." Du Yu said excitedly.

"We’ll see when the time comes." Xu Mumu replied, a bit speechless.

As graduation approached, the classroom atmosphere grew restless, but Xu Mumu remained unaffected, going about her usual routine. There wasn’t much time left at school, so she wanted to savor the last moments of high school. She had already enjoyed it twice and wouldn’t get a third chance.

This matter required serious consideration for a few days. In the end, Xu Mumu decided she would try it after graduation. If it didn’t work out, she’d seek translation work from Luo Yanrui.

Seeing Xu Mumu agree, Du Yu was elated and immediately shared the good news with his mom.

Over the next few days, Du Yu was even more lively. Even after graduation, he would get to see Xu Mumu often, which made him happy.

"By the way, Mumu, your third uncle got a permanent job." Du Yu mentioned to Xu Mumu about Xu He’s situation.

"How did he get the position just like that?" Xu Mumu wondered.

"It’s not just like that; it was through a connection from your third aunt’s father," Du Yu explained calmly. His dad had told him this yesterday, and he was passing the news to Xu Mumu.

"Wow, I didn’t know the Old Lin Family had such connections." Xu Mumu remarked with a smile, not taking it too seriously. Xu He had been a temporary worker for many years; his experience was sufficient, and connections had been made. The higher-ups weren’t holding back his job anymore.

"Indeed, my dad didn’t expect it either. It turns out your third aunt’s father had a good relationship with your third uncle’s shop manager," Du Yu added with a grin, sharing everything he knew with Xu Mumu.

This didn’t make any waves in Xu Mumu’s heart; permanent job or not, it was no big deal. They had already separated households, and it had no bearing on her family. Even if the third household got a permanent job, they wouldn’t benefit from it.

However, if Xu He got the permanent job, Lin Juan couldn’t resist showing off, which was a bit irritating.

In the evening, after picking up the kids, Xu Mumu mentioned Xu He’s job situation to Madam Chen and the others. The old couple didn’t pay it much mind; Xu He hadn’t even returned for the New Year, which had hurt their feelings.

Xu Mumu’s prediction soon came true. After a few days, Xu He and his wife returned with their kids in high spirits, like they were coming home in triumph.
