Chu Mengran quickly said, "Mom, no."

"I'm back today with some good news to tell you."

“These are my classmates Chen Dong and Guo Miao. You met them before, Mom.”

Chu Yu glanced at Chen Dong and Guo Miao and nodded, especially Chen Dong, whom she remembered very well.

As someone who had been through it all, she instinctively felt that the young man liked her daughter.

"Chen Dong's third aunt runs a small jewelry shop at No. 4 Middle School, and they are hiring right now."

"He said you can give it a try if you're willing."

"Although the salary is about 90 to 120 a month, which is not high, it is still a stable income."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu's eyes lit up with surprise, but she hesitated slightly: "Really?"

"Would Chen Dong's aunt want an employee like me? I don't have much work experience."

Chen Dong stepped forward and said politely, "Auntie, don't worry, my third aunt is very easy to get along with."

“I’ll go to my aunt’s shop right now, tell her about your situation, and see if we can schedule an interview.”

"Just wait for my message at home."

After saying that, Chen Dong hurriedly went out and rode his bicycle to his aunt's house.

Watching Chen Dong rush off in a flurry, Guo Miao felt exasperated.

Upon arriving at his aunt's shop, Chen Dong went inside and met his aunt, Chen Guilan.

Then, Chen Dong hurriedly said, "Third Aunt, my classmate Chu Mengran's family is facing some difficulties, and her mother is looking for a job."

"Didn't you say last time that your jewelry store wasn't hiring?"

"I think Chu Mengran's mother is a really good person, with a gentle and kind personality. I wonder if Auntie could give her a chance to try?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Guilan said, "Alright, since you're so willing to help, let her come over tomorrow at noon. I'll be at the shop then."

After thanking him repeatedly, Chen Dong rode his bicycle back to Chu Mengran's house without stopping and told Chu Yu the news.

"Auntie, my third aunt has agreed to let you go for the interview tomorrow at noon."

"The address is on the street next to No. 4 Middle School. You'll see the Ping An Jewelry Store sign when you get there."

"Go ahead and don't worry, my third aunt is very kind."

Chu Yu looked at Chen Dong gratefully: "Thank you so much, Chen Dong. You've really helped us a lot!"

"But I'm still a little unsure."

Chu Mengran held Chu Yu's hand and said, "Mom, why don't you give it a try? It's better than not being able to find a job at all."

Chu Yu sighed softly, "Well, that's all we can do."

"I never imagined life would turn out like this."

"Mengran, you must study hard at school and not let things at home distract you."

Chu Mengran nodded obediently: "I know, Mom. Don't worry too much, everything will be alright."

Guo Miao chimed in, "Auntie, don't worry, Brother Dong will definitely take care of Chu Mengran, and I'll do my best to help too."

Chu Yu looked at them, her expression softening slightly: "You are all good children. It's just that my mind is in turmoil, and I feel sorry for Meng Ran, making her suffer with me."

Chu Mengran quickly hugged Chu Yu: "Mom, don't say that, it's not your fault. Let's face it together."

With hope returning to her life, Chu Mengran's face broke into a smile, and she was no longer the depressed girl she once was.

After seeing Chen Dong and Guo Miao off at the door downstairs, Chu Mengran watched Chen Dong's departing figure, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

The next day at noon, Chu Yu began preparations early.

She carefully combed her hair and straightened her clothes.

Although she didn't have fancy clothes or elaborate makeup, she looked clean and neat.

Following the address given by Chen Dong, Chu Yu walked and inquired along the way.

After some trouble, I finally found the Ping An Jewelry Store next to the Fourth Middle School.

Chu Yu stood at the shop entrance, took a deep breath to encourage herself, and then went inside.

The shop is filled with all kinds of exquisite trinkets, which shimmer under the lights, making it a feast for the eyes.

Chen Guilan was standing behind the counter counting the goods when she saw Chu Yu come in, and she greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, you must be Chu Mengran's mother? I'm Chen Dong's third aunt, Chen Guilan," Chen Guilan said warmly.

Chu Yu replied somewhat nervously, "Hello, Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I am truly grateful for the opportunity to give you this interview."

Chen Guilan smiled and waved her hand: "Don't be so polite, we're all family. My shop isn't big, it's just a small business."

"I heard you're looking for a job now. You've never worked in a jewelry store before, have you?"

Chu Yu lowered her head slightly and said somewhat shyly, "Yes, I don't have much work experience, but I will try my best to learn."

Chen Guilan nodded: "It's okay, experience is accumulated gradually."

"How about this, you stay here and help me greet the students who come to buy trinkets. Let's give it a try."

Chu Yu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Okay, Boss Chen, I will definitely do my best."

A few students walked into the store shortly afterward.

Chu Yu quickly stepped forward, a gentle smile on her face, and asked softly, "Classmates, what would you like to buy?"

"We have all kinds of ornaments here, they're all very beautiful."

A girl pointed to a bracelet and said, "Auntie, I'd like to look at this bracelet."

Chu Yu carefully picked up the bracelet and handed it to the girl, saying, "This bracelet is very exquisite. The beads were carefully selected. It will definitely make you look more elegant when you wear it."

The girl tried it on and was very satisfied: "Auntie, how much does it cost?"

Chu Yu glanced at the price tag and replied, "This bracelet is 80 cents. If you like it, I can wrap it up for you."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Auntie, then I'll take this one."

Chu Yu skillfully made the bracelet for the girl and then warmly saw her out: "Thank you for coming, and welcome to come again next time!"

And so, Chu Yu busied herself in the shop, serving several groups of customers.

Her gentle temperament and patient service left a deep impression on Chen Guilan.

After the customers started their first class of the afternoon, the store finally quieted down.

Chen Guilan walked up to Chu Yu and said with satisfaction, "Chu Yu, I think you did a very good job."

"Although you have no experience, you have a gentle personality and a good temper, which makes you very suitable for this job."

"I've decided to hire you. The salary will be one hundred yuan a month. What do you think?"

Chu Yu's eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and she quickly said, "Boss Chen, thank you so much."

"I will definitely work hard and live up to your trust."

Chen Guilan smiled and patted Chu Yu on the shoulder: "Don't be so polite, we'll be colleagues from now on."
