Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

"Alright, let’s go, or else when the bus arrives, we won’t have the chance."

The two left, and Wang Ailing regretted immensely behind them for being too talkative. In the future, she must never gossip again. Now, she’s caused trouble for Xinyu.

She thought to herself that if the job opportunity was really canceled, she would lend Jiang Xinyu all the money she could to repay the Kong Family.

The two stopped at the alley entrance. "Director Wei, if you have anything, just ask directly. I’ll tell you everything I know."

"Jiang Xinyu, why did you sell the job opportunity?"

"Just that question?"

"Yes, just that question. But I want the truth."

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes inwardly. What’s there to boast about? Just another supporting role in life. "It’s because Kong Mengjie’s father is the village head, and I’m afraid of getting sick at the textile factory."

Still straightforward. "How do you know you’d get sick? What kind of illness?"

"It’s pneumoconiosis, isn’t it? It’s just my guess that working in the workshop all day might inhale cotton dust or something."

"Hehe, you’ve thought this through quite a lot."

"Director Wei, is there anything else?"

Wei Kaiyun squinted at the young girl who always maintained a safe distance from him. He thought, the two reasons she mentioned must be true, but there must be other reasons too.

"Jiang Xinyu, I know you haven’t said everything. I just heard you say you want to work in a coal mine. If you tell me the main reason, I’ll help you get into the coal mine."

Jiang Xinyu was surprised to see how perceptive Wei Kaiyun was. But there’s really no way to say it here. Should she tell him he’s just a male support and would end up in jail?

However, the job offer is indeed tempting. How could she say it to make him believe her?

Jiang Xinyu thought it over many times but eventually gave up. This Wei Kaiyun is no fool; she can’t fool him.

"Director Wei, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. I’m an orphan living in the village; it’s not easy. The village head’s family wants this job and offered money. Of course, I could only give it to them."

"Hehe, young lady, that’s not good. I can guarantee you a job in the coal mine directly in the office. It’s easy, pays well, and has great promotion opportunities."

"Director Wei, your offer is so tempting, but I just said it, and you didn’t believe me. What can I do then?"

"Jiang Xinyu, you know, although you’ve hidden it well, I have a feeling you haven’t said everything."

Jiang Xinyu showed a surprised and hurt expression on her face. "Director Wei, I’m telling the truth, believe it or not."

"Jiang Xinyu, let me put it this way. I’m very curious why Kong Mengjie wants the textile factory job?"

This is the first step on her path to success. Of course, she wants to go to the textile factory. Without people like you helping, could Kong Mengjie achieve such success?

"Director Wei, my relationship with Kong Mengjie isn’t particularly good. I see she just wants to escape rural life. Being a worker is great, respected, and it’s a stable iron rice bowl."

"So you don’t want it?"

"Of course I want it. Why wouldn’t I? But I need to have a life to want it." That’s already her limit, reminding Wei Kaiyun. If he can’t understand, then there’s no way.

"Director Wei, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first."

"Wait, I’m thinking I should cancel this job opportunity."

"Director Wei, you’re generous. I’ve spent all the money from selling the job. If you cancel it now, I’d have to repay the money, and I don’t have the money to repay."

"Hehe."

Jiang Xinyu clenched her teeth secretly. This neurotic person is like a sticky plaster you can’t shake off. She steeled herself, lifted her head, and looked directly at Wei Kaiyun.

"Director Wei, everything I’ve said is true, but I have a family skill, which is face reading. Let me take a look at you. If you believe it, you should be more careful in the future. If you don’t believe it, there’s really nothing I can do.

But if I tell you, whether you believe it or not, you must stop fixating on this job opportunity."

It’s not that Jiang Xinyu can’t repay the money, but mainly because she’s just a stepping stone paving the way for the female protagonist. Her part is about to end. If Wei Kaiyun really can’t let go, then she’ll be back to square one.

Wei Kaiyun stared into Jiang Xinyu’s pupils and saw himself inside. Mysteriously, he nodded.

"Alright, there’s only twenty minutes left, so I’ll keep it short.

Director Wei, I won’t talk about your luck in the first half of your life. (You don’t know either, you fake shaman.)

In the second half, you’ll face imprisonment troubles within the next ten years."

Wei Kaiyun’s heart was stormy, matching what he dreamt. His pupils shrank, and he made a decision in his heart.

"I’ll offer you another job at the textile factory. You won’t go to the workshop; you can be my secretary."

Jiang Xinyu quickly waved her hand. "No, no, Director Wei, I sold the worker’s job for four hundred yuan. I can’t afford to buy an office secretary position."

"Alright, stop pretending to be stupid or acting. I don’t want your money, but you must guarantee to be my secretary for five years. After that, you’re free."

"Director Wei, I don’t want it. I like rural life. I don’t want to leave home. Please pity this orphan who lost her parents. I want to stay home and be with them."

"Alright, your acting is too fake. Also, you’re fifteen and still call yourself an orphan? Hmm?"

Hmm, my foot! This black sesame-filled dumpling, she definitely doesn’t want to be tied to him. It’d be deadly. She’s just a minor role at the beginning. No way will she team up with the male supporting role. Spit, wrong wording, not teaming up but collaborating.

"Director Wei, my aspirations are small, just wishing to live each day with three meals and two naps. I don’t want people to envy or respect me, so I can’t accept your kindness."

"Jiang Xinyu, you can’t decide this. If you disagree, I’ll go to your village and say you’re trying to abandon me. Do you think you can stay in the village?"

"You’re shameless! I have no grudge against you, right? I even risked my life giving you advice, and you still want to hurt me like this? You’re heartless."

Jiang Xinyu had had enough acting and looked seriously at Wei Kaiyun. "If I say you left me heartbroken and someone believes it, aren’t you afraid your image will collapse?"

"Hehe, I don’t care about image, nor do I care about means, as long as I achieve my goal."

"So you mean you insist on keeping me by your side?"

"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean."

Jiang Xinyu squinted her eyes. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll harm you?"
