Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 9
Cheng Tianyuan has also studied English, but he is not professional enough. After scanning it, he found that many words he did not recognize, it seemed to be a short report.

"what is this?"

Xue Ling replied bluntly: "This is the translation that the newspaper asked me to do. I went to two companies, as well as Rongcheng Newspaper, and they all wanted to recruit me, but I haven't decided yet."

Cheng Tianyuan poured a glass of water. He seemed very thirsty. He drank a large glass in two gulps, his handsome face calm and indifferent.

"Tell me."

Xue Ling explained: "The first company is currently the largest in Rongcheng. It is mainly engaged in freight transportation. The position is a recorder and does some accounting work. The second company is very small, but the work is very easy, as long as it is responsible for the accounts. The wages for both registration and proofreading are similar, 200 yuan a month, which is a bit low."

Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and replied: "The salary is pretty good, not too low."

In this day and age, college students are still a rarity.If you can find a job with a college degree, employers are almost eager to get it.

He only had a high school education. When he first looked for a job, he had not yet received his high school diploma, so he could only find a stable job in a supply and marketing cooperative.

After working for a period of time, he became familiar with the situation in the county and went to work part-time at the station at night to earn more money.

The supply and marketing cooperative only gives him a salary of 60 yuan, plus casual labor wages at night, so he can only earn [-] yuan a month.

He explained quietly: "Ronghua County is just an ordinary county, not comparable to big cities. For the same job, you can get 300 yuan in the imperial capital, but at most [-] yuan here."

Xue Ling also understood this and nodded in agreement.

"So, I prefer working in a newspaper. Last month, Rongcheng Newspaper opened a small column for learning English. There is only one editor in charge, but his English level is not high and the content of the column is dry. The director of recruitment hopes that I will learn from him. As soon as I learn it, I will be in charge of this column from now on."

Cheng Tianyuan said quietly: "Work in the company is generally unstable, and occasionally you have to work overtime to settle accounts. In comparison, the work in the newspaper office is more stable and not too busy."

The supply and marketing cooperative subscribes to Rongcheng Daily, one copy a day, and he occasionally gets one or two.He had read the small English column she talked about two or three times.

The section is very small, usually just a few words, a few sentences and translations, and really doesn't contain much content.

It should be easy to be in charge of a column like this.

Xue Ling hesitated and explained: "It's just that the salary offered to the intern editor there is only 180. After one year, he can get 250 if he becomes a full-time editor. However, he is only responsible for lunch and has to find accommodation by himself."

Cheng Tianyuan had been working outside for many years, and he immediately heard her concerns.

"Renting a house here, an ordinary small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, costs 40 to [-] yuan a month. However, this job is stable and easy, so it is still suitable for you."

The average day laborer earns about five yuan a day, and they are all relatively menial jobs.

The editor's job is relatively easy. You sit in the office with a pen, tea is provided, working hours are fixed, and you have weekends off. This kind of treatment is considered excellent here.

Xue Ling shook his head and replied: "I am still young and have energy and motivation. I cannot find a job that is too comfortable or easy."

Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned, he never expected that she would speak like this.

With her delicate skin and tender flesh, what else can she do if she doesn't do a relaxing and comfortable job?
He couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why? Isn't work easy?"

Xue Ling shrugged and answered naturally.

"Young people should have a fighting spirit. A work environment that is too comfortable can easily lead to inertia. After a few years, they will become half a useless person."

Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, hiding his surprise.

He has worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for several years, and the tasks of standing at the counter and collecting money and accounting are the easiest.One of them was a top student who graduated from a certain technical secondary school. He was responsible for keeping some accounts. His work was very easy every day. After a few years, he could only keep accounts. He was not yet middle-aged and had a beer belly.

I didn’t expect that she would have such novel and progressive ideas – it’s really rare!

Xue Ling pouted and turned to smile.

"However, after much thought tonight, I decided to choose the newspaper office. Newspaper offices have a large circulation of information, can easily obtain information, and can better control the trend of social development."

"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement: "The future is also better."

His eyes fell on her slightly pouty lips, his eyes moved slightly and quickly turned away.

You are already so old, why do you still like to pout your mouth as much as you did when you were a child...

Xue Ling poked the English translation on the paper with the tip of her nose and smiled mysteriously.

"In the afternoon, I made a phone call to my classmate Xiao Jiaxue. I had heard that she was working as an editor in a publishing house, and I planned to consult with her. She told me that the publishing house had many English books waiting to be translated, and she was looking for us. These old classmates are free to help translate!"

Cheng Tianyuan listened carefully and asked: "Where is the publishing house?"

Xue Ling replied: "It's over in the Imperial Capital. She asked us all to work part-time as much as possible because the benefits were pretty good, with 20 yuan for [-] words. I thought it was pretty good, so I accepted. She would mail the information to me and I would translate it. I'll send it back as soon as it's finished. The publisher will settle the account quickly and pay off the translation fee within half a month."

Cheng Tianyuan nodded slowly, finally understanding her entire plan.

"So, you plan to work in a newspaper office during the day and do part-time translation work when you have time?"

"Yeah." Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Cheng Tianyuan analyzed: "It's related to your major, it can improve your professional level, it's not a heavy job, and your working hours can be considered free. I think it's good."

Xue Ling laughed and hugged his arm excitedly.

"I knew you would say yes!"

Cheng Tianyuan was slightly embarrassed. The girl's delicate body was so fragrant and soft. His heart suddenly jumped two times, and there seemed to be heat rising under his ears, which was a bit spicy.

Xue Ling just hugged her and quickly let go.

"Then let's decide now. I will go to the newspaper office tomorrow to apply. During the interview the day before yesterday, Director Liu of the newspaper office said that this column is in urgent need of English talents and hopes that I can take up the post as soon as possible. I should be able to go to work the day after tomorrow."

She raised her eyes and looked around the small single room.

"The environment here is not bad, but it's a bit expensive. It costs six yuan a day. It's a big expense if you live for a long time. You still have to find a house to rent."

Cheng Tianyuan thought for a moment and said, "I will accompany you to look for a house near the newspaper office after get off work tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xue Ling stretched, yawned, lay lazily on the low table, squinted his eyes and muttered: "I'm a little sleepy..."

Cheng Tianyuan looked at her innocent look and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Get some rest early."
