“Moreover,” Guan Xin continued, “the timing and location of this job are extremely flexible. You are only required to visit the newspaper office three days a week to submit your work, collaborate with colleagues, and engage in professional discussions. The rest of the time, you are free to work from wherever you wish. The most crucial aspect is to meet your deadlines. Our newspaper has limited space for foreign language content, so the number of articles requiring translation and editing is quite minimal.”

The workload was light, she assured, making it feasible even for those juggling childcare, household responsibilities, or other commitments. “As for the salary, we’re currently offering eighty a month, plus bonuses. If you find this unsatisfactory, we can negotiate further. We’re not afraid to pay well for talent at our newspaper.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi understood. It was Boss Huo who had recommended her to a friend’s daughter, who happened to be Guan Xin, the woman who had interviewed her. It was indeed a small world.

The job opportunity was indeed appealing. The flexible working hours would not interfere with her preparations for her exams. She could simultaneously manage her studies, family, and work. It seemed perfect.

However, Gu Zi hesitated. If she accepted the job, she would have less time to care for her three children and her time and energy might be spread thin. Moreover, working at the city newspaper would likely necessitate living in the city, but her home was currently in Daqing Village.

She decided to consult with Su Shen and her three children. If they agreed, they could consider moving to the city. She was unsure, however, whether this would be convenient for Su Shen’s work.

She didn’t view seeking her family’s opinion as a constraint. Although the job opportunity was excellent, her husband and children were equally important. They deserved to be consulted and considered.

Gu Zi responded to Guan Xin, “I’m familiar with Guangcheng Newspaper. It’s the oldest and most subscribed newspaper in Guangcheng City. The staff is highly educated, many of whom are talents returned from abroad. I’m quite surprised and pleased that you’ve invited me to work there. However, I need some time to consider.”

Upon hearing about the job’s salary, everyone was astounded. A monthly salary of eighty, plus bonuses! And if Gu Zi agreed, there was room for further negotiation. My goodness, was the salary for a newspaper job really this high? What kind of dream job was this?

Everyone was green with envy. They struggled to save two hundred a year, yet this job seemed to offer that amount in just two and a half months. It was infuriating. Why couldn’t they speak a foreign language? How was it that Gu Zi seemed to know everything?

When they heard that Gu Zi needed time to consider, they panicked. “Gu Zi, with such a high salary, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and accept!”

“Exactly, such a good job, even if you don’t take it, you could recommend someone else. My daughter-in-law’s cousin is a university graduate and speaks a foreign language. How about letting him try for the job?”

Upon hearing the villagers’ comments, Guan Xin, seeing their eagerness, promptly responded, “Our newspaper doesn’t just accept any university graduate. Our standards are strict. I came here after thoroughly understanding Gu Zi’s capabilities. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be offering a monthly salary of eighty.”

“Gu Zi,” she continued, “in order to persuade you to join our newspaper, I’ve prepared an enticing additional condition. If you work for our newspaper, I can offer your children two admissions to Guangcheng City’s top bilingual primary school. As long as you join us, your children can become students of this prestigious school.”

The two children were currently studying at Chenglong Primary School. Although both were city schools, the difference was stark. Chenglong Primary School was an average public school, adhering to national standards. It was neither outstanding nor poor.

However, the top bilingual primary school was different. It was the number one bilingual primary school in Guangcheng City, boasting cutting-edge teaching standards and abundant resources. The children studying there were exceptional. It could be said that a child’s admission to this school would elevate the status of their entire family.

Gu Zi had attended this school as a child, so she was well aware of its allure. This was why the Gu couple had gone to great lengths to secure their child’s admission to this school.
