Chp10. part1

How did things end up like this? Tong Jia struggled to recall.

At first, she had assumed Yun Xin was just as young, naive, and foolish as Zhao Zechen.

Later, she realized that ‘she’ was the naive one, ‘she’ was the foolish one, ‘she’ was the one being played like a fool, and ‘she’ was the one who could do nothing but seethe in impotent rage.

Tong Jia couldn’t understand how a seasoned professional like herself could be so easily manipulated by a girl younger than her.

“After the car accident, I asked if you’d noticed anything unusual,” Tong Jia pressed, dredging up old grievances. “You clearly could sense danger, yet you insisted everything was normal, just like always.”

“Exactly,” Yun Xin replied calmly. “There was no noticeable change before or after the accident. I discovered my sixth sense could warn me of danger long ago.”

Tong Jia persisted, “Why did you keep it a secret? If I hadn’t figured it out, would you have never told me?”

“Shortly after the accident, you realized your physical abilities had dramatically improved, yet you didn’t want to tell anyone either, did you?” Yun Xin sipped her milk tea, swinging her feet casually. “You only told me because you needed someone to discuss it with. I didn’t want to discuss it with anyone, so I kept it to myself.”

After several rounds of this back-and-forth, Tong Jia was astonished to find that the questions kept boomerang-ing back to pierce her own pride.

Exhausted, she finally asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

Yun Xin pondered for a moment before replying, “Find a job, work hard, and live an ordinary life.”

“Why don’t you come work with me at my new company?” Tong Jia suggested casually, pretending it was an afterthought.

“No, thanks.” Yun Xin stood up, her tone earnest. “You’d be happier if you never saw me again.”

What is she saying? Tong Jia thought. Without Yun Xin, I would have died in that car accident. Meeting her was definitely not a bad thing for me.

Tong Jia gulped down a large mouthful of coffee, unwilling to speak.

“Even though I deceived you, I helped you amass wealth, achieve career success, and avoid death. Overall, I was a pretty good con artist,” Yun Xin concluded with a smile. “Oh, and I forgot to mention- you looked incredibly cool when you made that false police report to save those people.”

“I was just a tool,” Tong Jia retorted, turning her face away. “Even if I hadn’t intervened, you would have found a way to save them.”

“You’re wrong,” Yun Xin said frankly. “I could never act as recklessly as you did. Thinking about making a false report is one thing; actually doing it is another.”

“You’re such a weirdo,” Tong Jia grumbled. “Absolutely bizarre in every way.”

Yun Xin chuckled. “Perhaps.”

Tong Jia didn’t say anything more, but her mood had improved considerably since arriving.

With her boss in jail, Yun Xin needed to find a new job.

Generally, she changed jobs frequently, sometimes every half-month, sometimes every one or two months.

It wasn’t that she was picky or couldn’t handle hard work; rather, the companies or bosses she worked for always seemed to suddenly disappear.

On the third day of sending out resumes, Yun Xin received an email: “We are pleased to inform you that your resume has passed our initial screening. Please come for an interview tomorrow (Year X, Month X, Day X) at 9:00 AM.”

The sender was the Rehabilitation Nursing Home.

At 9:00 AM the next morning, Yun Xin arrived promptly at the nursing home’s entrance.

An employee led her to the office for the interview.

After a friendly discussion, Yun Xin learned that the position was for a nursing home caregiver. The main duties involved accompanying elderly residents, providing them with care and affection, and helping elderly patients build confidence in overcoming their illnesses.

As for benefits: a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, with bonuses calculated separately; free meals at the staff cafeteria; and employee dormitory with moderately furnished single rooms.

The only downside was the work schedule: 24-hour on-call availability, requiring her to live at the nursing home and care for patients, with only two fixed days off per month.

Yun Xin wasn’t picky about jobs and readily accepted the offer, agreeing to start work the day after tomorrow.
