Chapter 915: Just because it's you

~7 min read 1,311 words

Shen Ci glared at Su Zheyuan angrily, but Zheng Hong couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "I'm not young anymore, I'm almost fifty."

Zheng Hong and Shen Chengcheng were in a May-December romance, two years older than Shen Chengcheng, and her actual age was about the same as Shen Yingying's.

It was just that after years of managing household affairs, there was a bit more of the vicissitudes of life in her brows.

"A Ci, is this your boyfriend?" Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask. Su Zheyuan was wearing a suit today, looking decent, and she even praised him: "He looks like a man of talent."

Both of them denied it almost at the same time: "No."

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

Zheng Hong understood and nodded apologetically: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"Does Taotao know you came to Longcheng?" Shen Ci asked again.

Zheng Hong shook her head again: "No, I thought I'd tell him after I settled down. Otherwise, he would definitely worry and wouldn't be in the mood to study."

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

"I wanted to find a job first. If I can't find one, I'll go back." She pulled at the corner of her clothes, using small movements to cover up her embarrassment.

Although it wasn't like she was wandering here, coming to Longcheng from thousands of miles away alone, not to mention the big and small bags, and being unfamiliar with the place, Zheng Hong was actually timid inside.

But for her son, she had to try.

It really confirmed the saying, "Women are weak, but mothers are strong."

And she had never taken the initiative to ask Shen Ci for help. She knew that Shen Ci was very capable in Longcheng, but now facing difficulties, Shen Ci was sitting right in front of her, and she still didn't speak up.

Before the divorce, she always thought about calculating and getting close, just so that Taotao could borrow Shen Ci's light when he got into a good university one day. Now, she didn't mention it at all.

Shen Ci looked at her and saw the resilience belonging to her in the background of Zheng Hong's character.

"Aunt, give me your resume." Shen Ci looked at her and reached out her hand seriously.

Zheng Hong raised her head, her face slightly stunned, and then she saw Shen Ci say bluntly: "I'll arrange the work for you. Don't carry these things around anymore."

Zheng Hong was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and her subconscious reaction was to refuse: "A Ci, no, no, this is not appropriate... After all, your Little Uncle and I have already divorced."

For Zheng Hong, divorce meant leaving the Shen family. Her identity had nothing to do with the Shen family. Besides being Zheng Hong, she was just Shen Taotao's mother.

This was also the fundamental reason why she didn't ask Shen Ci for help.

As a result, Shen Ci smiled and said: "If you hadn't divorced, I wouldn't even care."

"Ah?" Zheng Hong was confused.

Shen Ci reached out again: "Give it to me. I'm helping you for no other reason, simply because of who you are."

"My mother was also a single mother before. I can understand your difficulties. As a woman, I am willing to help you from the bottom of my heart."

"I know you don't want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore, so all this has nothing to do with the Shen family, and even has nothing to do with Taotao. It's just because it's you that I'm willing to help."

If Shen Ci only had a good impression of Zheng Hong before, now she could see the charm of her personality more clearly. In different environments and situations, she did things very appropriately. Even for the sake of interests, she could do her best without being annoying.

This kind of ability is very rare and precious. Shen Ci believes that such a person can also do very well at work.

After hearing Shen Ci's words, Zheng Hong was touched. She had been divorced for so long, and most of the voices she heard were things like "You're at this age and you're still getting divorced?", "Just make do with it, at least you'll have a companion when you're old.", "You helped raise someone else's child, be careful that you end up with nothing in the end!"

Shen Ci was the first person to say to her, "I can understand your difficulties."

Yes, she had it hard, very hard.

So at this moment, the hardships and grievances buried deep in Zheng Hong's heart were touched by Shen Ci, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She hurriedly looked up and blinked, pretending to be strong and not letting the tears fall.

Su Zheyuan saw this and hurriedly pulled out a tissue and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Zheng Hong took it, wiped the slightly wet corners of her eyes, and after a deep breath, she unzipped her backpack and took out her resume.

With almost no extra thought, as long as she thought of her son, she was very willing to accept A Ci's help.

She was not a very noble person to begin with. A Ci had already said it to this point, if she still hypocritically refused, she wouldn't do that.

Shen Ci immediately called Zhu Li.

"Sister Zhu Li, is the finance department hiring accountants?" Shen Ci handed over Zheng Hong's resume directly: "Go and find out, let HR look over this resume, and see if there is anything inconsistent other than age."

The hiring conditions of "Shuiyun Jian" were very formal. Shen Ci would not directly open a back door for Zheng Hong. It mainly depended on whether she could handle this job.

If not, she naturally had other ways.

After Zhu Li agreed, she went to verify it immediately.

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

"A Ci, here..."

"It's mine," Shen Ci answered straightforwardly, and then explained patiently: "However, although I can have the final say, HR still needs to look at your resume before deciding."

Zheng Hong opened her mouth in shock, and didn't digest this information for a long time.

Su Zheyuan followed up and comforted: "Don't worry, if it doesn't work here, you can go to my company."

There are hundreds of hotels under the group, and there is always one that can arrange an accountant.

Zhu Li returned quickly: "Miss Shen, the finance department is indeed hiring people recently, but the accountant position is already full. HR has already notified the qualified interviewees to report for duty tomorrow."

Zheng Hong was listening nervously on the side, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, then don't bother. People have already passed, it's not good to change it."

Zheng Hong knew the difficulty of finding a job. She didn't want to squeeze out a stranger's opportunity for no reason because she had A Ci's relationship.

Shen Ci glanced at Zheng Hong and asked Zhu Li again: "The resume is fine, right?"

"It's fine." Zhu Li added: "However, there is still a cashier position in the finance department. Let's see..."

Shen Ci hurriedly asked Zheng Hong: "Aunt, is cashier okay?"

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

"Then let's go, I'll accompany you to go through the entry procedures."

Zheng Hong didn't refuse. Coming to a luxurious place like "Shuiyun Jian" made her feel a bit at a loss. With Shen Ci accompanying her, she felt more at ease.
