Chapter 28 – Money from the Sky (1)

Yan Shuyu was at work when she received the call from Manager Chen. She did not make any special effort to avoid being overheard, so by the time she finished her call, all her new colleagues knew that she was going to go and pick up her previous month’s paycheck from her old workplace. Everybody was both envious and happy for her, “Yanyan, your old supervisor was so nice! She probably fought hard for you!”

“But tomorrow is the weekend, Yuanbao doesn’t have school, are you going to be okay?”

It had only been a few days at work, and Yan Shuyu had already became close buddies with her new colleagues, which was much better than how it was at Hotel Dorsett. She didn’t think that she had suddenly became so much more popular, she meshed with her new colleagues better mainly because the new environment was much simpler than her last one; almost no upward mobility, so there was no need for any manipulation or backstabbing. Plus, almost everyone here were girls in their twenties. They were close in age and had the same interests, so she became quick buddies with them right away.

Compared to her, her instant son was the real charm. Yan Shuyu followed Manager Yang’s suggestion and has been happily taking her instant son to the restaurant after kindergarten every day. They always stayed and had dinner here, rain or shine. After dinner, if Yan Shuyu has to work night shift, she’d go back to work, leaving her instant son to play with himself in Manager Yang’s office. If she wasn’t working night shift, they’d head home after dinner.

Most of Yan Shuyu’s colleagues, including Manager Yang, were basically single; only a few of them were dating. She was the only young mother, which was why ever since the first day she brought her instant son to the shop, the little kiddo had immediately rose to the status of the restaurant mascot. The little kiddo has delicate features, nice and white skin, and was very well-raised. He was always smiling and addressing everyone as ge ge and jie jie sweetly. All Yan Shuyu’s male colleagues were charmed and female ones were conquered. Everyday, they’d look forward to the arrival of the cute mascot after school.

(T/N: ge ge – older brother. Jie jie – older sister)

Now that someone brought up the plans for the little cute kid for tomorrow, everybody else started chiming in, “You can drop Yuanbao off at the restaurant first. We are not busy in the morning, we will look after him for you.”

“Then you might as well drop him off the dormitory. The dormitory isn’t that far from the restaurant. Plus, I work the night shift tomorrow, I have the entire morning off to take care of Yuanbao~~”

“I am off tomorrow; I can play with Yuanbao all day long!”

Seeing that her little colleagues were about to start fighting over the “right to play with the mascot for a day”, Yan Shuyu smiled and said, “Thank you so much, you all, but I plan to take Yuanbao with me tomorrow. All I had to do is to sign some paperwork, I will be fine.”

When Yan Shuyu first transmigrated over, she wasn’t very used to referring to her son by his nickname. Now that she was influenced by her buddies at work, it was getting easier and easier to call him Yuanbao.

The passionate colleagues, “……”

Blind spot.

Somewhat busy and interlaced by chattering with her buddies, another day went by quickly and carefreely. Before she left for the day, she consulted with Manager Yan to switch to night shift the next day.

She had thought about just taking the day off, but considering that she had just started this new job, she didn’t want to leave a bad impression with her supervisor. Plus, this was her first job after school. Perhaps, it was the novelty, she didn’t feel that it was too difficult being a server; in fact, it was kind of fun, so she didn’t mind too much being an aspiring, hard working youth.

As the very understanding supervisor in Yan Shuyu’s mind, naturally Yang Zifeng approved her request with alacrity and further followed up with, “By the way, you mentioned wanting to take an examination for your certification last time, have you looked into it some more?”
