Rebirth and making money first

Zhang Jing replied to Director Chen, "Director, I'll choose the second option: participate in various unit networking events." Although Zhang Jing didn't enjoy finance work, she was determined to earn her Intermediate Accounting Certificate. After all, countless people in this world continue to work in jobs they dislike until retirement.

However, Zhang Jing enjoys writing and hopes this job can support her life. She is now full of energy and looks forward to the next step. Director Chen told her that this task was originally handled by three people, but now that Zhang Jing has joined, they need to cooperate with each other and learn from the veteran staff.

Not long after, Sun Mingyu arrived. Upon seeing Zhang Jing, he extended a sturdy hand and said, "Welcome, beautiful lady, to our team." Zhang Jing politely extended her hand and shook it, replying, "Hello! Please take care of me, boss. I'll definitely work hard." Sun Mingyu's chubby face lit up with a friendly smile, and he said to her, "You young people are so energetic. Come with me." Then, Zhang Jing said hello to Director Chen and followed Sun to the External Relations Office.

The office wasn't large. Besides Manager Sun, there were two other employees, a man and a woman. They all looked young, probably in their twenties. Seeing this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but lament the current competitive nature of the workplace. These young people, at such young ages, were already struggling in what seemed like a retirement-like workplace.

The two young men, the boy's name was Lin Fei and the girl's name was Ye Xiaoyu, warmly welcomed Zhang Jing.

After a brief introduction, Manager Sun assigned Ye Xiaoyu to help Zhang Jing familiarize herself with the work process. However, Ye Xiaoyu said, "Manager, I have so much work to do that I can't handle it all! How about letting Lin Fei take over?" After a moment's reflection, Manager Sun said, "How about this? You two will each take over for a week. After two weeks, we can redistribute the work based on the situation. This way, Zhang Jing can get started faster."

Everyone agreed. Then, Manager Sun realized Zhang Jing didn't have a dedicated desk, so he asked Lin Fei to find her a desk with a computer. After reviewing the office layout, they decided to have Zhang Jing sit across from them.

At this point, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help herself and jokingly said that her supervisor was partial and that she also wanted to sit across from him. Realizing this, Supervisor Sun immediately changed his mind and asked Lin Fei to sit across from him, while Zhang Jing and Ye Xiaoyu sat face to face. Because the office had office dividers, everyone had their own independent workspace.

Lin Fei moved a monitor and a host computer to Zhang Jing's position, and then went to the warehouse to get a chair. This computer has been used for many years and is relatively slow, but the basic functions can still operate normally. He told Zhang Jing that she needed to try the machine first, and then change it if it doesn't work. Zhang Jing and Lin Fei debugged the computer together, and it took a whole morning to get it done. The computer has also been tested and can be used normally. Although the old computer runs slowly, it can still meet daily needs. Lin Fei asked Zhang Jing to familiarize herself with the computer environment first. Zhang Jing habitually opened the stock quote software, and then opened the writing software, and found that these software can be used normally. This made Zhang Jing feel relieved, because apart from the slow startup speed, there were no other major problems.

This week, while studying with Jie Linfei, he thought for a moment and showed Zhang Jing a pile of materials. He also had her download the company's office software onto her computer. It contained a detailed description of the department's work. Combining these two tasks with the pile of materials, the work shouldn't be difficult. It's just more complicated, and there's no hard and fast rule for which one to start with.

From then on, Zhang Jing began her lazy life of drinking a cup of tea at work. Of course, after reading the information and the newspaper, the computer screen in front of her was always showing various company introductions. Zhang Jing fully understood the significance of establishing this department, which was to provide service recipients with a sense of happiness and human intervention activities.

I often go to sister units to socialize, especially during holidays, when I hope to have more interactions.

When it was Ye Xiaoyu's turn to train an apprentice, Zhang Jing finally understood what she meant by "too much work" to do. It was indeed quite annoying, but the problem was that Ye Xiaoyu didn't prioritize tasks, doing a little here and a little there. She also had to write reports and summaries to report to her superiors.

Two weeks passed in a flash, and Zhang Jing had learned to slack off. She'd still sneakily checked the stock market when no one was looking. She also kept up with her novels, and to Zhang Jing's surprise, her last love-crazy story was a huge hit! While readers criticized her love-crazy mind for harming herself and her family, they also praised her penetrating soul.

Zhang Jing simply wrote a few more short stories, all with twists and turns, to keep readers amused. Of course, many people also criticized the author, and Zhang Jing began to get angry: "If you don't like it, just don't read it. Why are you so sarcastic? If you're not satisfied with it, you can just write it yourself!"

Later, after watching too much, I became numb. I simply stopped watching. After all, it didn't interfere with my income. Zhang Jing felt that she enjoyed herself very much.

The excitement didn't last long before Supervisor Sun called a meeting for the three of them. He explained that Zhang Jing had adapted for a while and was ready to handle things on her own. Zhang Jing modestly stated that she still had a lot to learn, but Supervisor Sun didn't mind, saying, "You'll learn while you work." They had an outreach mission, visiting a welfare home and a nursing home to learn about their work. Of course, our unit also had representatives from both, and our department was responsible for hosting them.

"Look at the three of you. Who will stay behind to handle the reception and who will go out for external liaison? You have one week, or five days. Write down the valuable experiences of others, and also point out any shortcomings and precautions. All meals will be eaten at the company you are traveling to, and the company will pay for the meals."

Ye Xiaoyu wanted to stay, but Supervisor Sun refused. "You didn't go last time; Lin Fei went instead. This time it's your turn, and Zhang Jing will go too. Which unit do you choose? One is for children, and the other is for the elderly. Lin Fei will stay to receive representatives from both units. Tell them how you worked in the past. Your report needs to be innovative, and it shouldn't be embarrassing."

Seeing she couldn't escape, Ye Xiaoyu let Zhang Jing choose first. Zhang Jing looked at Supervisor Sun with an embarrassed expression, "Supervisor, why don't you make the assignment? I don't know how to choose." Supervisor Sun was very pleased. "In that case, Ye Xiaoyu will go to the orphanage, and Zhang Jing will go to the nursing home. Be there tomorrow morning, bringing your food bowls and daily necessities. Lin Fei, give them your address and contact information. I'll help them communicate with their contacts later."

"Okay, Manager Sun," Lin Fei happily agreed, but Ye Xiaoyu refused. "Manager, I want to switch places with Zhang Jing. I'll go to the nursing home, and Zhang Jing can go to the orphanage!" Zhang Jing said it didn't matter, earning praise from Fatty Sun. Of course, Ye Xiaoyu received a glare from Fatty Sun, but she didn't care and glared back triumphantly.

Ye Xiaoyu often used the nickname "Fatty Sun" when she and Zhang Jing were together privately; she found it descriptive and vivid. Besides reprimanding her for work, there wasn't much else she could do to her. Zhang Jing suspected Ye Xiaoyu had connections, too. Arranging relatives for each other was a simple matter. Hadn't she also been thrust into the role by Uncle Zhang? She understood, completely.

Zhang Jing is now very savvy and owns a house and a shop. Although she still has debts, she is increasingly motivated. Uncle Zhang recently came back and invited Zhang Jing to dinner at Zhang Yongle's house. He officially recognized Zhang Jing as his goddaughter, and Zhang Jing was forced to accept three recognition gifts.

Uncle Zhang returned the IOU to Zhang Jing as a gift, much to her dismay. Zhang Yongle and his wife assured her it was worth it. Zhang Yongle and his wife gave her a gold necklace and earrings, which Zhang Jing returned with gifts. Uncle Zhang's gift was a beautiful rocking chair, found at a secondhand market. Zhang Yongle's was a lotus cushion, Li Xiangyue's was a shawl, and her son's gift was a complete set of Tom and Jerry cartoons.

Zhang Jing's gifts, aside from the rocking chair and the cartoons, were all handmade. She was embarrassed to admit she couldn't afford expensive gifts, but Uncle Zhang's family was delighted. They were grateful that Zhang Jing didn't covet his wife's gold and other belongings. Who knew that the father and son had long harbored suspicion over their savings and wealth?

Now that the past grudges have been resolved and the family is living happily together, it's all thanks to Zhang Jing. "This child has a good character and deserves a close friendship," Uncle Zhang told his son and daughter-in-law, who both nodded. The child now has an aunt!

She couldn't let go of Li Xiangyue's shawl, and was also amazed by Zhang Yongle's lotus cushion. Everyone praised her craftsmanship, and Li Xiangyue warmly asked her to come back for dinner when she had time.

Zhang Jing knew the closer she became to Uncle Zhang's family, the more her career would advance. Networking, from ancient times to the present, has been primarily about exchanging benefits. Now that the platform was established, it all depended on how she performed.

The opportunity to visit the orphanage was present. Zhang Jing suspected the orphanage must have many stories, which would give her new creative ideas.

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Jing saw the monitor sitting in the shade of a tree, lost in thought. She walked over and called him, and he was very happy to see Zhang Jing. After another pause, he asked Zhang Jing, "Teacher Zhang, don't you want us anymore?" Zhang Jing's heart ached. "No, I just changed my job. We will always be good friends! And Alan and Dazhuang, I remember you all. I will come to see you when I have time."

"Really?" The monitor was happy. "Really? The teacher bought a house. Come to my house on Sunday and I'll cook for you. Remember to tell Alan and Dazhuang that if you have the teacher's phone number, call me."

The monitor smiled happily, believing that Teacher Zhang wouldn't lie. Zhang Jing's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Monitor, Dazhuang is going to be a father. How are you and Alan doing?" The monitor explained that Alan wanted to find an honest, wealthy man, and that he himself had no money. His parents had asked someone to introduce him to someone, but no one liked him. At this point, the monitor became unhappy again.
