712: Chapter 713: Hard to Decline the Gracious Invitation
Zhao Rui imdiately said, “Then there’s nothing more to discuss, you must take care of it for her.
Lin Su’er is our college roommate, and it’s just the three of us who are close.
If you don’t handle it well, I won’t agree.”
Zhou Pingqing said, “Yes, yes, my wife has spoken, so I must do it.
But as you know, the current situation in the hospital, I can only say there’s a chance, but I can’t be completely sure.”
Lin Su’er quickly said, “Thank you for your kindness, but you really don’t need to trouble yourselves, I can find a way on my own.”
Zhao Rui imdiately turned serious and said, “Su’er, why are you being polite with us?
What’s our relationship?
You’re new here, unfamiliar with the place.
If we don’t help you, where else would you go to find a job?
Even if you go to a private clinic, not only is it hard, but the pay isn’t good either.”
Song Qing also chid in, “Exactly, exactly, you’re facing difficulties now, so we must help you.
Once your job is settled, then you can treat us to a good al.”
Seeing their attitude, if Lin Su’er didn’t let them help, it would almost seem like she was letting them down.
Lin Su’er could only give a wry smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything about the job, I’m definitely going to be able to work at the sa hospital as you.”
“Really?” Both Zhao Rui and Song Qing were wide-eyed in surprise as they looked at Lin Su’er.
Lin Su’er nodded and said, “Of course, why would I lie to you?
I should be able to start working the day after tomorrow.”
Zhao Rui looked at Lin Su’er doubtfully and said, “Wow, you’re amazing?
You must have so strong connections, I rember your family…was it your boyfriend who found the job for you?”
Song Xiaodong interjected, “You all said the hospital has only recently beco strict.
Su’er’s job was found because she was proactive.
She sent her resu to the hospital in advance knowing that she wanted to co here.
Since she perford very well at her previous hospital, they directly wanted her without leveraging any connections.”
Lin Su’er and Song Xiaodong both didn’t like to show off, especially in front of classmates, and she didn’t want others to look at her differently, so she just made up that excuse.
Song Qing laughed and said, “Su’er, you’re really lucky.
We were worried for nothing earlier.
Co on, let’s have a drink to celebrate the three of us working together again.”
After eating and drinking for a while, Zhao Rui asked again, “Lin Su’er, where are you living now?”
“We…
live in Hedong District.”
Song Qing imdiately said, “Hedong District?
Isn’t that in the suburbs?
It’s quite far from the downtown area; you’ll have to change buses to get to the hospital.”
Zhou Pingqing said, “Why live so far away?
It’s much better to live downtown.
I think the rent near the hospital isn’t too expensive either; a nicer place is just over three thousand a month, or if you rent sothing average, it seems like you can get it for around two thousand.”
Zhao Rui glanced at Zhou Pingqing and said, “The salaries in our hospital are only about four to five thousand, Lin Su’er just got here, where would she get that much money?
Of course, it’s better to save where you can.”
Song Qing also glanced at Zhou Pingqing and said, “Do you think everyone is as rich as you?
We don’t have that much money; saving a little where we can is just natural.”
Yang Yong nodded and said, “The rent there is indeed cheaper.
The rent in the city is more than double what it is there; spending a bit more ti commuting is worth it.”
Lin Su’er and Song Xiaodong looked at each other.
Lin Su’er had only ntioned it casually, but they had already decided that the two of them were renting there.
However, this was also fine.
Lin Su’er imdiately said with a smile, “Yeah, saving a bit here and there is always good.”
Zhou Pingqing shook his head and said, “It’s not a matter of money.
This way, a lot of ti is wasted commuting.
If you don’t live in such a remote place, you can rest more or spend the ti on other things, like reading a book or sothing.
I feel that ti is still more important.”
Song Xiaodong smiled and added, “We feel the environnt there is better and quieter, so we chose that place.
If Su’er finds it inconvenient for work, we can consider moving downtown later.”
That way, it avoided having to discuss the issue further.
Zhou Pingqing said, “By the way, Song Xiaodong, we’ve been talking about Lin Su’er this whole ti.
Where do you work?”
“This…” Song Xiaodong hesitated.
Zhou Pingqing quickly said, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
We won’t look down on you; after all, we’re all locals, and we still have so connections here.
Things like civil service positions, we definitely can’t arrange for you, but introducing a job should still be feasible.”
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “I feel my job is okay for now; I don’t plan to change it yet.
If I decide to look for a new job, I will definitely co to you.”
Zhou Pingqing said, “That’s not very good of you, being all evasive with us.
What’s there to hide about your job?”
Song Xiaodong, seeing this persistent attitude from them, although sowhat wanting to show off, mostly ant well, and felt hard to decline outright.
He thought for a mont and casually ntioned a small company within the Su Family, saying, “I work at Pengfei Company.”
Zhou Pingqing said, “Pengfei Company, that’s a good place.
I even know their CEO.
I’ll ntion you to him, and later on, maybe he can arrange a better position for you, increasing the chances for promotion and a raise.”
Song Xiaodong then felt sowhat embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected Zhou Pingqing to actually know the company and even the CEO of Pengfei Company.
If he really went and talked to them, knowing that he worked there would be awkward.
He quickly said, “Thank you for your kindness, Doctor Zhou, but I still hope to advance on my own rits to prove my ability.”
Zhou Pingqing frowned and said, “That’s the wrong attitude.
While ability is important, grabbing opportunities is also crucial.
Many tis, no matter how hard you try, without the right opportunities, it’s difficult to progress.
We’re not strangers; I would still help you if I can.”
Hearing Zhou Pingqing’s sowhat preachy tone, Song Xiaodong could only wryly nod.
The goodwill from these people left him sowhat unsure of how to respond.
Zhao Rui, being a keen observer, noticed the awkwardness on Song Xiaodong’s face and thought Zhou Pingqing was harming his pride.
She quickly said, “Alright, alright, let’s drink now.
This isn’t sothing that needs to be resolved imdiately.
Let’s talk about it later.”
