Beloved Old Lover

After resting for three more days, Emily immediately regained her spirit and went to earn money to buy rice.

The North side of the city is not as bustling as the South side of the city, so opportunities to find jobs are also limited.

She cannot use her business administration degree to apply for a job because she is afraid that she will meet Kevin during the work process.

Even if it is a rare case, it is still possible because the earth is inherently round.

Seeing a fairly large tailor shop posting a sign recruiting skilled tailors, Emily immediately walked in and asked to apply.

They only needed to recruit three more people, but she was the seventh. She also did not expect that she just wanted to find a normal job that did not require high qualifications but would be so difficult.

It seems that the competition is no less than applying to large corporations and companies.

“Who is Emily?” The woman asked as soon as she looked at Emily’s profile introducing her qualifications.

“It’s me.” Emily replied and raised her hand.

“Are you sure you want to do this job?” The woman’s face showed skepticism.

“Yes, I want to do the job I love.”

The degree awarded by Fashion Future school made Jolie very impressed with this beautiful and talented girl.

One thing she wondered was why someone with both looks and qualifications like Emily chose her tailor shop instead of going to fashion companies on the southern side of the city.

Isn’t that place the shopping paradise of the city in particular and the whole country in general?

After asking a few more questions, Jolie chose three people to sign a labor contract with her. Of course, Emily was one of the three chosen.

A medium-sized garment store suddenly having the appearance of a fashion designer from a world-famous school is something Jolie had never thought of before.

“If you have no opinion on salary or working hours, please sign. And tomorrow, everyone can start work.” Jolie brought out the contracts and said.

Emily felt that this salary was quite good compared to the general salary level and the working hours were office hours, without overtime, so she quickly signed.

Previously, she had heard a group of girls saying that working part-time at a pub at night was ideal, with a fairly high salary.

If they serve customers with a comfortable lifestyle in terms of money, they will receive a tip.

In short, if they are diligent, their salary is even higher than a senior office worker, no joke.

So, she wants to take advantage of her free time in the evening to make money. Only by working hard to make money will she quickly stabilize her life and no longer have time to remember painful things.

Everyone says that when people are too tired from work, their free time will only be spent sleeping to regain energy, and they will no longer have the energy to think about the past. She believes so.

When Emily left, Jolie immediately looked up information about her. Because Jolie found Emily’s face very familiar, she typed the name into Google to find out and she did not expect that this girl was the one who was engaged to the second young master of the Unicons group on the south side of the city.

Although Emily didn’t wear much makeup and stood out like the photos in the newspaper, the beauty on her face was unmistakable even though she was now too skinny compared to the images.

The Wine company went bankrupt, but Emily tried to repay all the debts left by her father and now has to apply for jobs like this, which makes Jolie very sympathetic.

In the afternoon, Irene drove to visit Emily and bought grilled meat to eat with her to congratulate her on getting a job.

“The deputy general director of GE Corporation comes to see me every day to ask for your news. He looks so pitiful. But don’t worry, my heart is also very strong.” Irene said while chewing on a chicken leg.

“Time will fade everything. I feel very comfortable when I live in a place where no one knows me.”

“Right. Every afternoon I go to the cemetery to burn incense for your parents, so don’t worry.”

The two of them ate and talked. An incident happened that made their relationship closer.

Before, Irene never thought that one day she would sit and eat grilled chicken feet and drink lemon tea with this girl.

Even when the Wine company is struggling, in Irene’s eyes, Emily is still a beautiful princess, not everyone can invite her to eat or drink.

And when she got engaged to Daniel, she was like a gem that not everyone could meet and chat with.

“My husband is calling.” Irene smiled when she saw the phone screen light up.

“Please answer the phone.” Emily urged.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The conversation happened quickly and Irene had to say goodbye and leave because her son suddenly had a fever and said he missed his mother, forcing his father to call his mother back home.

Before Emily could feel the warmth of her mother’s arms, her mother passed away, so when she heard Irene recount the boy’s words, the bridge of her nose suddenly stung, and felt a bit sorry for herself.

“The two sides of the city are far apart, and driving takes too much time, so don’t come here often in the future. I’ve stabilized my mind and I promise to live well, don’t worry too much about me.” Emily said as she saw Irene off.

The moment both of them approached the old car, Irene wrapped her arms around the poor girl, patting her thin back as a word of encouragement.

Irene’s family’s economy is not well off, so even if she wanted to, she couldn’t help Emily.

Her parents-in-law are sick all the time and their children are too young, and her husband’s job is not going well.

Waiting for the car to completely disappear, Emily quickly got back in, changed clothes, and took a taxi to the neighborhood considered the busiest entertainment place on this side of the city. That place is where discos, pubs, restaurants, and hotels are concentrated.

The taxi stopped in front of Paradise Pub, where there was a recruitment sign for ten female waiters.

The reason this pub has not recruited enough employees is because the requirements for candidates are too high.

They only work as service staff, but they must have a pretty face, a figure close to model standards, a pleasant voice, and know how to cut fruit well.

And they must know common foreign languages to communicate with foreign customers who come here to travel and work.

“Please tell me, who should I meet if I want to apply for a job?” Emily spoke timidly when the security guard thought she was a customer and politely invited her in.

“Oh, go to the small door on the other side, go straight, and turn right, the management office is inside.”

After thanking the guy, Emily quickly followed the instructions and just like when she applied for a job at the garment store, in front of the management office was a long line of girls.

Some people wear sexy clothes, some people wear discreet clothes. In short, their appearance is very beautiful, with three almost perfect curves.

It seems like the manager is interviewing everyone one by one. Emily handed her resume to a smartly dressed girl who she assumed was a management assistant and then got in line.

“How’s it going? Are you accepted for the job?” A girl asked softly when she saw her friend leave the room with a sad face.

“I failed, they said my English level was too poor.”

Hearing her answer, Emily’s nails suddenly dug deep into her palm. Although she is confident about her foreign language skills, she is not sure that her beauty and body can beat her competitors here.

Currently, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she sees herself as seriously degraded, thin, and lifeless.

The line of people waiting for the interview was getting shorter and when Emily walked in, the manager named Kurt was busy drinking water after asking so many questions that his throat was dry.

The customers of the Paradise Pub are all gentlemen, young masters, wealthy ladies, and domestic and foreign businessmen. Therefore, the requirements for service staff are as strict as recruiting personnel for large companies.

“Are you Emily?” Kurt put down the bottle of mineral water and asked.

“Yes.”

Although her tired face made Kurt want to reject her as soon as he saw her, her beautiful profile made him think again.

She lived abroad for five years, her English level is quite high, she was an MC for Fashion Future’s large and small shows, moreover, her voice is very cute.

“After a month can you gain a few more kilos? You’re too thin. As you know, looking at skinny people will make other people’s eyes hurt. Although we are just normal waiters, we cannot let customers think that we are walking skeletons. Girls need to be a little chubby to be attractive.”

“I can. So does that mean you’ll hire me?” She hesitated, eyes wide open to observe the expression on the man’s face.

Kurt nodded slightly and then signaled the girl next to him to take Emily around the pub to get to know her and explain the job content to her before bringing her back here and signing the contract.

Emily was so happy that she wanted to scream when she heard the girl reveal the salary for the chosen ones.

According to what the girl said, the service staff was only in charge of bringing wine, food, and fruit that customers requested to their rooms.

Cleaning is done by janitors and the part of sitting and drinking and chatting when customers request belongs to another group of contract employees.

“Those girls are good at talking, good at entertaining guests, good at singing, good at dancing, and their beauty is undeniable. They do not receive a fixed salary like us but receive money from customers in need.”

After saying that, the girl took out a uniform, showed it to Emily, and said that this was the changing place for the service staff.

Looking at the discreet dress designed like an office uniform, Emily felt reassured. She doesn’t mind if they ask her to wear a slightly sexy dress, but in this environment, she should wear modest clothes.

People who need to wear revealing clothes will wear them, but she doesn’t need to.

Next, Emily was taken around the pub. There are many rooms for customers who like privacy for their group or themselves, while the main lobby area is for customers who like bustle and want to make new friends.

However, this is also a place for those who feel sad because Emily saw some people coming here alone. They sat in front of the bar, watching the bartender mix the wine and then sipping each glass of wine without saying anything as if they didn’t care about the bustling atmosphere around them.

“How’s it going? Do you agree to join the Paradise pub?” The girl asked.

“Yes. I will try to work hard.”

Returning to Kurt’s office, Emily quickly signed the prepared contract after carefully reading the terms.

In fact, at first, she thought that at places like this, if they accepted her, she would just come to work without signing any contract.

Fortunately, she brought her qualifications with her, otherwise, she would have lost her opportunity.

If she cannot prove her English skills, she will be eliminated and if she comes back tomorrow, there will be no more room for her while candidates are still lining up.
