Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 225: Work for Me!

In fact, i Yue had spent a rather pleasant Lunar New Year back in her hotown of Baii County.

The whole family reunited and returned to the place where she spent her childhood. She witnessed the changes in the small town, saw her parents choose to return to their hotown to live their later years, and watched her younger cousins grow up healthily. In particular, she was pleased to know that her younger cousin had two childhood sweethearts.

The only particularly unpleasant thing was finding out that the person she intended to start a relationship with turned out to be a scumbag. If it hadn’t been for her cousin’s help in exposing him, she might have suffered a great loss.

Sigh…

This streak of bad luck persisted even after the New Year, constantly plagued by various annoying issues. But since she had already agreed to et her cousin, she couldn’t break the appointnt. It was also a chance to relax and spend ti with her younger relatives.

i Yue drove to Jiangcheng NOHS, parked her car, and soon t i Fang and the others walking briskly towards her.

“Sister Yue Yue!”

From afar, Xia Yuan enthusiastically waved and greeted her. Seeing such a sweet and cheerful smile, i Yue felt a lot of her pent-up stress lt away.

She quickly walked up, patting Xia Yuan on the shoulder with a big, hearty smile.

“You’ve all grown quite a bit in just a few months!”

“By the way, you three are really amazing now, especially you, Yuan Yuan. The promotional video you made for C Site was fantastic. My friends, knowing I know you, even asked for your autograph!”

“Ehehe… an autograph is a bit too much… I’m not at that level yet.”

Xia Yuan twirled her hair sheepishly. Suddenly, i Yue leaned in close to Xia Yuan’s ear and whispered, “So, how far have you and Xiaofangzi gotten? You’re already at the level where you can sing love songs together…”

“No, no, it’s nothing like that!”

Xia Yuan, unaware that i Yue had seen her and i Fang kissing, desperately tried to explain, “Ah Fang and I are just childhood sweethearts.”

“Hehe, ‘childhood sweethearts’ who also happen to kiss?”

“Whoa!”

At this mont, Lin Youxi and i Fang also approached. Xia Yuan, flustered, tried to change the subject, “Sister Yue Yue, you must be hungry after driving all this way! Let us treat you to a al today.”

“Oh, treating to a al, are you? Do you guys have enough money for your own expenses?”

i Yue patted i Fang’s head, and he didn’t dodge, instead, he raised his head and retorted:

“Sister Yue Yue, you’re currently unemployed, practically a vagrant. We definitely need to help you save money.”

“You little…” i Yue, being affectionate with Xia Yuan, was not so gentle with i Fang and knocked on his head without hesitation, “Even if I’m broke, I’m still an adult, alright? I’m not as down-and-out as you say. Now, go find the most expensive restaurant nearby. Your sister Yue Yue is treating you to a nice al!”

That being said, i Fang and the others still ended up choosing a nearby Sichuan restaurant with decent decor and got a small private room to eat together.

“Go ahead and order,” i Yue said, glancing at the nu. Although it was just regular Sichuan cuisine, the prices were not exactly cheap. She handed the nu to i Fang with a slight pang of pain. i Fang naturally passed the nu to Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan.

The two of them looked at the nu together and quickly ordered a few dishes, then passed it back to i Fang, who handed it to i Yue without even looking at it.

“Hmm…? Do you co here often?” i Yue asked.

i Fang, resting his chin on his hand, said, “Not really. We brought Youxi’s mom here for a al last week. Take a look, Sister Yue Yue, and see if there’s anything else you want to add.”

“No need. Did you order drinks? Sichuan food can be quite spicy.”

“This place isn’t that spicy. We ordered so sour plum juice.”

“Okay, that’s good.”

i Yue called the waiter to place the order, and then they started chatting about the process of creating their songs.

“Really? I didn’t know Xiaofangzi could write lyrics and compose music. When did you learn these skills? Your big sister here had no idea.”

“I only started getting into music in eighth grade, and it was all thanks to Yuan Yuan’s support and encouragent.”

Xia Yuan, feeling a bit shy, chuckled, “Actually, two of the songs were birthday presents from Ah Fang to us. Can you guess which two, Sister Yue Yue?”

“Hmm… The one for Youxi must be Rembrance of Lanshan, no doubt about it. As for yours, Yuan Yuan——”

i Yue smiled at Xia Yuan. “Is it Bare Face or I’m Willing?”

Both of these songs were sweet love songs. Xia Yuan quickly corrected her:

“No, no, it’s the A not Far Away Place“

“Really? I didn’t think of that one.”

…

Sister Yue Yue seems a bit too affectionate with Xia Yuan.

Did she discover sothing on her own or hear it from Xiaoya?

i Fang, noticing Lin Youxi looking a bit lonely while staring at her phone, activated his balancing skills and went over to talk to her.

“Youxi, what are you doing?”

“Chatting with a guy.”

Lin Youxi’s indifferent response piqued i Fang’s curiosity. He quickly leaned in to see her phone screen. But instead of hiding it, she showed it to him directly.

i Fang saw that Lin Youxi was privately ssaging his account.

【Ah Fang, I’m super hungry.】

This ssage, with a tone completely different from Lin Youxi’s usual style, seed to mimic Xia Yuan’s playful manner. i Fang found it amusing and decided to continue the conversation with her.

【Then eat sothing, we have peanuts right here.】

【I don’t want to move. You feed .】

【Are you gonna pretend Sister Yue Yue isn’t here?】

【If you don’t want to feed , then forget it. I’m not that hungry anyway.】

Lin Youxi’s private ssages had a hint of a tsundere attitude, but outwardly, she remained calm and composed. After playing with her phone, she occasionally joined in the conversation with i Yue, as if it wasn’t her who had just sent those ssages to i Fang.

This girl…

i Fang instinctively touched his nose. He picked up a peanut, hesitated for a mont, then popped it into his own mouth, pretending to eat it casually.

i Fang glanced at i Yue, who was intently listening to Xia Yuan talk about her creative process, then nudged Lin Youxi. He quickly picked up another peanut and swiftly placed it in Lin Youxi’s mouth.

Lin Youxi didn’t make it difficult for i Fang. She imdiately took the peanut into her mouth. Their coordination was seamless.

…

…

Xia Yuan witnessed the entire scene.

Whoa! Those two are way too blatant!

“What’s wrong?”

i Yue, who was resting her chin on her hand while listening to Xia Yuan’s story, seed unaware of the other two’s little act but was curious about Xia Yuan’s sudden reaction.

“Nothing, nothing…” Xia Yuan scratched her head. “Why aren’t the food here yet? I’ll go check.”

“No need, no need. I’ll do it instead. Today, it’s on .”

i Yue got up to check with the waiter. Xia Yuan took the opportunity to whisper to Lin Youxi and i Fang.

“Ah Fang, Youxi, what are you two doing? We have important things to discuss today…”

“Relax, Yuan Yuan,” i Fang said, looking quite at ease. “This is just like a family gathering. The work part isn’t difficult. Sister Yue Yue will definitely help us.”

“You’re so sure about our charm? Sister Yue Yue might not want to help us with all these troubleso things.”

“Just trust .”

i Yue ca back, and they all started eating. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had ordered the restaurant’s signature dishes, which were quite tasty.

“Hah… This spicy boiled beef is amazing. It’s been so long since I’ve had such authentic Sichuan cuisine.”

“That’s why we recomnded it, haha! But Sister Yue Yue, it looks like you can’t handle spicy food that well?”

“It’s not that I can’t handle spicy food. Life has just dulled my tastes,” i Yue said, looking a bit sad. She sipped her sour plum juice like she was drunk. “I’ve been studying for the CPA exam for so long, preparing for it for so long. I finally got a good job at a nice firm in Jiangcheng, only to be ruined by that scumbag…”

“A scumbag?” i Fang was surprised. “Is it the sa guy as before? The one who pretended to be a tech company boss?”

“Yeah… He ca to et near the office for tea once. After the New Year, he showed up at my workplace again, wanting to apologize, saying sothing about being drunk back then… Such nonsense.”

“He actually followed you to the company? That’s so creepy!” Xia Yuan found it hard to believe.

“His presence made my colleagues see as a joke. He kept coming every day, annoying both and my boss. Eventually, I had to quit and move my place to avoid any more trouble with him.”

“Cutting ties early is good,” i Fang nodded. “Now you can clearly see his true colors.”

“Yeah… Thankfully, I never let him drive ho, otherwise, it could have been even more troubleso.”

i Yue propped her chin on her hand, “Though the guy was a real piece of trash, the job I lost was really good.”

“Sister Yue Yue, how much were you making at that job?”

i Yue said proudly, “I have my CPA certification. Even with just two years of experience, I was making 100,000 a year!”

“So, about 8,000 a month? And that’s before taxes.”

i Yue felt that i Fang’s tone was sowhat dismissive and got annoyed, “You think that’s little? That’s just the base salary. With quarterly bonuses and dividends, I was making around 150,000 to 160,000 a year.”

“It was indeed a good job, a pity to lose it.”

“Exactly! Originally, in just another year, I could have easily switched to any other company as a financial manager. Who knew I’d run into this situation… Now it’s already late April, which is considered the off-season, and suitable jobs are really hard to find…”

“Let introduce you to a job, Sister Yue Yue. A monthly salary of 20,000 as a financial manager, with als and accommodation included. You can choose whether or not to work overti, and you’ll only need to be accountable to the boss. Are you interested?”

i Yue was amused, “Haha, if there’s such a good job, forget about overti, I’d be willing to work all night…”

“Are you that easy to satisfy? Then I won’t give you any year-end bonus. Just kidding, I’ll give you so, otherwise, it wouldn’t look good on the books.”

Xia Yuan kicked Ah Fang, reminding him, “Ah Fang, that’s too high a salary! You could offer Sister Yue Yue a 10,000 starting salary, and give more as a year-end bonus. Why offer 20,000 right off the bat?”

“Sister Yue Yue would also need to be the company’s legal representative and nominal boss. We can’t be too stingy,” Lin Youxi said casually while eating a piece of spicy beef, making i Yue even more confused.

“Wait, are you guys seriously offering a job? Which company? Is it introduced by Uncle (i Lijun) or by your dad, Yuan Yuan?”

“Neither,” i Fang said with a smile, shaking his head. “We’re inviting you to work for , Sister Yue Yue.”
