With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Shen Ci glared at Su Zheyuan with annoyance, but Zheng Hong couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "You're not young anymore, you're almost fifty."

Zheng Hong and Shen Chengcheng are in a relationship where the woman is older than the man; she is two years older than Shen Chengcheng, and her actual age is about the same as Shen Yingying's.

However, years of managing household affairs have given him a touch of worldly weariness in his eyes.

"Aci, is this your boyfriend?" Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask. Su Zheyuan was wearing a suit today and looked quite respectable. She even complimented him, saying, "He looks very handsome."

The two denied it almost simultaneously: "No."

Shen Ci explained, "Aunt, you've misunderstood. This is my friend."

Zheng Hong understood and nodded apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding."

"Does Tao Tao know you've come to Longcheng?" Shen Ci asked again.

Zheng Hong shook her head again: "I don't know. I'm thinking of telling him after I'm settled, otherwise he'll definitely worry and won't be able to concentrate on his studies."

Shen Ci glanced at Zheng Hong's package and suitcase: "You haven't even found a place to stay yet, have you?"

"I want to find a job first. If I can't find one, I'll go back." She tugged at the hem of her clothes, using the small gesture to hide her embarrassment.

Although it wouldn't be accurate to say she had wandered all the way here, Zheng Hong was actually quite apprehensive, having traveled thousands of miles to Longcheng alone, carrying large and small bags, and being in an unfamiliar place.

But for her son's sake, she had to try.

This truly proves the saying, "Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers."

Moreover, she never took the initiative to ask Shen Ci for help. She knew that Shen Ci was very capable in Longcheng, but now that she was in trouble and Shen Ci was sitting in front of her, she didn't say anything.

Before the divorce, she was always thinking about how to get closer to Tao Tao so that he could benefit from Shen Ci's influence if he got into a good university someday. Now, she doesn't mention it at all.

Shen Ci looked at her and saw that Zheng Hong's character contained her own kind of resilience.

"Aunt, please give me your resume." Shen Ci looked at her and extended her hand with a serious expression.

Zheng Hong looked up, her expression slightly taken aback, and saw Shen Ci say directly, "I'll help you arrange your work, so you don't need to carry all this stuff around."

Zheng Hong was stunned. It took her a while to react. Her subconscious reaction was to refuse: "Aci, no, no need, this is not appropriate... After all, your uncle and I are already divorced."

For Zheng Hong, divorce meant leaving the Shen family, and her identity was no longer related to the Shen family. Apart from being Zheng Hong, she was only Shen Tao's mother.

This is also the fundamental reason why she did not ask Shen Ci for help.

But Shen Ci laughed and said, "I wouldn't care if you weren't divorced."

"Huh?" Zheng Hong was stunned.

Shen Ci stretched out her hand again: "Give it to me. I'm helping you for no other reason than because of you."

“My mom was also a single mother before, so I can understand how difficult it is for you. As a fellow woman, I sincerely want to help you.”

“I know you don’t want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore, so all of this has nothing to do with the Shen family, or even with Tao Tao. I’m only helping because it’s you.”

If Shen Ci only had a good impression of Zheng Hong before, now she can see her personal charm more clearly. In different environments and situations, she always acts with great discretion. Even for the sake of interests, she can do her best without being annoying.

This ability is rare and valuable, and Shen Ci believes that someone like her can also do very well at work.

Hearing Shen Ci's words, Zheng Hong was deeply moved. After being divorced for so long, most of the things she heard were things like, "You're so old and you're still getting a divorce?", "Just make do, at least you'll have someone to keep you company when you're old.", and "You've raised someone else's child, be careful you don't end up with nothing!"

Shen Ci was the first to tell her, "I can understand how hard you've worked."

Yes, it wasn't easy for her, it was extremely difficult.

Therefore, when Shen Ci touched upon the hardships and grievances buried deep in Zheng Hong's heart, her eyes suddenly reddened.

She quickly tilted her head back and blinked, pretending to be strong and not letting the tears fall.

Seeing this, Su Zheyuan quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Zheng Hong took it, wiped her slightly damp eyes, took a deep breath, unzipped the backpack, and pulled out the resume.

She hardly thought about it anymore; as long as she thought of her son, she was very willing to accept Aci's help.

She wasn't a particularly noble person to begin with. Ah Ci had already made things so clear, so she wouldn't pretend to refuse.

Shen Ci immediately summoned Julie.

"Sister Julie, is the finance department hiring an accountant?" Shen Ci handed Zheng Hong's resume directly: "Go and find out, have HR review this resume and see if there's anything that doesn't match except for the age."

The application requirements for "Shuiyunjian" are very formal. Shen Ci will not give Zheng Hong any special treatment. The main thing is to see if she can do the job.

If that doesn't work, she certainly has other options.

Julie agreed and immediately went to verify it.

Zheng Hong looked at Shen Ci in shock. She had thought that Ci would arrange for her to work for another company, but she didn't expect it to be here again.

"Aci, over here..."

“It’s mine.” Shen Ci answered directly, and then patiently explained, “However, although I can make the decision, I still need HR to review your resume before I can decide.”

Zheng Hong opened her mouth in shock, unable to process the information for a long time.

Su Zheyuan reassured him, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work here, you can go to my company."

With hundreds of hotels under its name, there's bound to be one where an accountant can be assigned.

Julie quickly returned: "Ms. Shen, the finance department is indeed hiring recently, but the accounting position has just been filled, and HR has notified those who passed the interview to start work tomorrow."

Zheng Hong listened nervously from the side, and upon hearing this, she quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright, then we won't trouble ourselves. They've already approved it, it's not good to change our minds."

Zheng Hong knew how difficult it was to find a job, and she didn't want to squeeze out a stranger's opportunity just because she had a connection with Aci.

Shen Ci glanced at Zheng Hong, then asked Julie, "Is the resume okay?"

“No problem.” Julie added, “However, there’s still a cashier position in the finance department, what do you think…”

Shen Ci quickly asked Zheng Hong, "Auntie, is it alright to be the cashier?"

Zheng Hong's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

"Let's go then, I'll go with you to complete the onboarding procedures."

Zheng Hong did not refuse. She already felt a little out of place in such a luxurious place as "Shuiyunjian", but she felt more at ease with Shen Ci by her side.
