Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 118 Boys Love to Play with

The evening self-study session ended.

Guo Kunnan invited Dan Kaiquan out to buy some snacks, but although Kaiquan felt tempted because he was a bit hungry, he ultimately declined. He didn't have much money to spare, and couldn't afford to splurge.

Having observed this, Guo Kunnan, as a good friend, knew Dan Kaiquan's situation all too well.

Recently, Kaiquan had foolishly spent so much money in pursuit of Bai Yuxia.

Kunnan had tried speaking to him about it, but Kaiquan simply wouldn't listen.

He felt Kaiquan was a bit bewitched.

"Fine, I'll treat you to an egg pancake," Guo Kunnan said with a soft heart, otherwise Kaiquan would definitely complain of hunger later in the evening.

After hearing this, Dan Kaiquan threw his arm around Kunnan's neck:

"Brother Nan, you're a true bro."

"Of course, that's a given."

In the dead of winter, the two of them walked out of the campus, arm in arm.

Jiang Ning found his mountain bike and cast a Magic Formation upon it to heat up the seat.

He and Xue Yuantong walked to the school gate, with Yuantong following steadily all the way.

"Why didn't you go and buy some snacks today?"

Jiang Ning asked curiously. Recently, ever since Aunt Gu started working as a chef at the Changqing Liquid Company, her family's situation had improved greatly, and Yuantong had been going out to buy snacks every night.

"During evening self-study, Mom texted me. She said that since it's Christmas Eve today, their company prepared special pastries, and everyone gets a share. Mom brought her share home for me to eat."

"I'll share some with you later," Xue Yuantong said.

"Oh, I see," Jiang Ning said, guessing that this must have been Shao Shuangshuang's idea.

On their way home across the dam, Jiang Ning parked his bike while Yuantong pulled him to enjoy some pastries.

Aunt Gu was tending the stove, and when she saw her daughter and Jiang Ning arrive, she greeted them with a beaming smile and brought the warmed pastries to the table:

"You must be starving after finishing classes so late."

"I am so hungry I could hardly walk."

Xue Yuantong looked toward the table and saw several plates of pastries, her eyes immediately lighting up.

"Mom, there's so much."

Jiang Ning scanned the table, which had sesame rolls, Orleans grilled wings, fish slices, apple pies, and molten chocolate cakes. The variety was indeed rich.

Aunt Gu said, "Our President Shao is such a kind person. She arranged for a lot of pastries today and especially asked me to take some home."

Her current job was incredibly good: a monthly salary of five thousand, weekends off, and benefits calculated on the five thousand standard. There were even unseen perks.

She only had to cook lunch each day. Tasks like grocery shopping and dishwashing were handled by additional help, and she was mainly responsible for cooking, with someone to assist her.

The company's employees were high-quality and polite, and they were never stingy with their praise for her tasty dishes.

When she was first looking for a job, someone from the HR department of the Changqing Liquid Company had approached her. She was skeptical at first, thinking it was a fraudulent company, but after they promised a daily payout during the trial period, she tentatively accepted the offer.

Now, Aunt Gu felt there could be no better job than this one.

With only a junior high school diploma, job opportunities in Yuzhou were already scarce. Her previous jobs included piecework in a local textile factory or working as a salesperson in a mall.

Alternatively, she might end up doing cleaning in a hotel or a small restaurant, standing for over ten hours a day, exhausted to the point of not being able to straighten her back.

It was also draining, with only two days off a month, or even just one, and her salary was around three thousand. Sometimes, if she didn't get the full attendance bonus, they would deduct two to three hundred.

Moreover, such places were full of scheming, and she felt very uncomfortable there. But to maintain a livelihood, she had to take up those jobs.

Now, having joined Shao Shuangshuang's company, she treasured the job opportunity and would often try to cook something different and delicious for the company's employees.

Jiang Ning looked at Aunt Gu and noticed her complexion had greatly improved. Previously, she had always seemed a bit unhealthy, but it seemed she had gotten better after changing jobs.

The fate of Aunt Gu's family had been changed by him.

In the warm house, with soft lighting and the stove boiling water, ready for use.

Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning sat around the small table, and she placed a piece of pastry in Jiang Ning's bowl, then picked up another piece for her mother:

"Mom, you should eat too. It's too much; I can't finish it all."

"I'm eating."

"Giggle, giggle."

"Xue Yuantong, stop laughing; you're drooling onto your chopsticks," Jiang Ning warned her.

"Hmph, I did not!"

Aunt Gu watched this scene with a tender smile. Originally, she thought that after her fracture, life at home would become challenging, but instead, it was getting better every day.

...

While they were enjoying the pastries, Jiang Ning's phone vibrated. He glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from Shao Shuangshuang.

"Jiang Ning, Merry Christmas. I asked Sister Gu to bring some pastries home."

"You are thoughtful," Jiang Ning replied, and then he put his phone away.

In the Yuzhou Building, within a vast office space spanning thousands of square meters, Shao Shuangshuang turned off the screen and leaned back in her spacious, soft executive chair. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the teardrop mole under her eye becoming increasingly charming.

The development of the Changqing Liquid Company had been extraordinarily smooth lately. Competitors in the hair growth Domain were routed, and the expansion pace was incredibly fast, with monthly sales breaking two hundred million.

The most miraculous part was that over one hundred million came from overseas. The Evergreen Liquid was receiving excellent reviews abroad, with foreigners zealously promoting it like running water.

Next month was expected to see an explosive increase.

On the office side, the Market Marketing Department, Design, Customer Service, Product, Cross-border, and Administrative and Financial personnel had established a backbone. Next up was to recruit a batch of programmers and operations staff to create an exclusive website for the Green Liquid Company, forging an online channel.

Although Yuzhou had a talent shortage, it was not far from Nan City, and with the company's enormous potential and sufficient salaries offered, they could still attract a lot of talent.
