605 New Job
“New job?” After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Mr. and Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Ning in surprise.
“This is…compensation from your school?” Mr. Chu asked bitterly.
Obviously, he thought that the school had proposed such a plan for compensation in order not to complicate the matter after the murder attempt on Chu Ning’s life.
But his daughter had almost died!
And the reason for all of this was because he was incapable.
For a moment, guilt and shame swept over him. He lowered his head subconsciously.
“Dad, what are you thinking? It’s not that.” Chu Ning shook her head feebly.
It was right not to tell the couple the truth. Chu Ning had wanted to divulge a bit about her current situation, but now it seemed that it was better not to tell them.
She was a shareholder of Jingyuan High School. The school compensating her was as meaningless as taking money from the left pocket and putting it into the right pocket.
From Chu Ning’s point of view, she could not wait for Jingyuan High School to not have any negative news.
“Xiao Ning, why don’t you move back home so we can take care of you?” Mrs. Chu said worriedly.
“Mom, Dad, my final exams are in a few days. After the exams, it’s summer vacation. I found a part-time job. It’s a newly-developed area. I heard that a big supermarket will be opened soon. Mom, Dad, aren’t you working in a big warehouse now? It’s similar to a supermarket. They are currently hiring; they need experienced people like you.”
The newly developed area that Chu Ning mentioned was naturally The Parade. Her goal was to bring her parents and Chu Jing over since they were unwilling to live in the villa.
There was a residential area there. Although it had been abandoned for many years, it was still habitable after cleaning up. She also planned to live there, at least for the time being. This would save her a lot of time.
“Xiao Ning, you’re too naive.” Once Mr. Chu understood Chu Ning’s intentions, he slowly shook his head.
He looked at Chu Ning and patiently explained, “Although the supermarket is newly opened, they should have already recruited the people they need. Even if we go, we have to start from scratch. Besides, your mother and I are doing well now, so there’s no need to change jobs.”
Although he knew that Chu Ning was thinking for them, he felt that Chu Ning was still too inexperienced and had no real-world experience.
Both he and Mrs. Chu were almost fifty years old. They had been working at this place for over twenty years. Although the money was not much, it was stable.
Moreover, for people of their age, the cost of resigning was very high. Once they lost their jobs, it was no joke; it would directly cut off their sources of income.
For the Chu family, getting rid of Chu Ning’s bug and the couple losing their jobs would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the family.
Chu Ning looked at the couple with a gentle gaze. “Mom, Dad, you’re already getting on in years, but you’re still working so hard. Haven’t you thought about the future? Having to wake up at five in the morning every day and only return at six in the evening; working more than twelve hours a day and only having a day off every month… I think there’s no need to live like this anymore.”
The reason why her parents did not dare resign was that they were under too much pressure and psychological burden.
Their combined monthly income was only slightly above 10,000 yuan, but they did not dare to slack off because they had a large family to support. In addition, they were down-to-earth, so they had worked hard for more than 20 years.
“Just trust me this once. Mom, after I finish my exams in a few days, can you guys go with me to have a look?” Chu Ning said in a coquettish tone.
After hearing Chu Ning’s words, the pair looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness reflected in each other’s eyes.
They didn’t understand why Chu Ning was so insistent on getting them to change their jobs. They simply rued the fact that Chu Ning still didn’t know how hard it was to earn money. It was very difficult to get a stable job.
Mr. Chu pondered for a while and said, “Xiao Ning, don’t worry about us changing jobs. Prepare for the exams first. After the exams, your mother and I will accompany you to take a look at your part-time job environment. Don’t get scammed; there are many scammers out there now. You youngsters should up your ability at discriminating.”
“Alright, then it’s settled!” Chu Ning beamed with joy when she heard Mr. Chu’s promise.
