A foreign city, dear you

After Cao Xueqian chatted for a while, he hung up the phone politely. You can see excitement written on his face.

"Who is it? What's going on?" Ye Lian asked curiously.

"Jia Liwen, a former colleague of mine. He heard from a friend of a friend that Lijin Communications Company was recruiting structural engineers. He thought I was suitable, so he called me to tell me the news."

"Lijin? Did they develop the Lijin mobile phone? It should be a big company, right?" Ye Lian also became excited. She had seen Lijin mobile phones in the mobile phone store.

"I don't know the details yet. Jia Liwen gave me the phone number of a contact person. I called to ask about the situation."

Just as he was talking, Grandma Lanshan came out with the hot dishes and said to Cao Xueqian: "The dishes are hot."

"Wait a minute." Cao Xueqian dialed the phone without looking back.

Cao Xueqian has such a temper. As long as he has something at hand, he doesn't want to delay for a moment. He has to deal with it as soon as possible, not to mention that this may be a great opportunity for him!

After making the call, Cao Xueqian respectfully asked the other party how to call him, company name, company address, recruitment conditions, interview time, etc., then wrote them down on paper one by one, and finally hung up the phone politely.

"How is it?" Ye Lian asked eagerly, holding the rice that had just been packed for Cao Xueqian.

"Lijin Company is recruiting people, and that person wants me to come to the company for an interview next Monday." Cao Xueqian took the rice and took a bite of it.

"Interview? Where to go for the interview?" Ye Lian asked.

"We've gone to Guannei," Cao Xueqian said.

"What's going on?" Grandma Lanshan couldn't help but ask when she saw the two of them discussing things word by word.

Cao Xueqian briefly told Grandma Lanshan about the phone call he just made.

"Is it stable? You must focus on stability outside." Grandma Lanshan couldn't hide the worry on her face. She can see her son's hard work, but she is also afraid that her son will jump around and fail.

"I don't know yet. I won't know until I go for the interview next Monday. Don't worry yet." Cao Xueqian comforted his mother while eating.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss." His mother's words reminded Cao Xueqian of the words of his former boss. But he still decided to go for an interview, because Lijin Company itself had a certain attraction for him. After the interview, he would make a decision at that time whether to leave or not.

The company is quite far away, in Guannai, and the interview time is at 8:30 in the morning. I don’t know if I can make it.

The day of the interview on Monday came quickly.

Cao Xueqian had already asked for leave. After much deliberation, he decided to endure the pain and go for the interview.

Because there was something on his mind, Cao Xueqian woke up at dawn.

After some preparation, he set off early with the necessary interview materials.

Ye Lian wanted to see Cao Xueqian off, but Cao Xueqian stopped her.

Cao Xueqian asked her to sleep for a while, besides, it would be faster if he was alone.

Ye Lian obeyed Cao Xueqian and did not send it off. She just asked him to tell her the results of the interview after the interview.

But after Cao Xueqian left, Ye Lian didn't sleep anymore. As a teacher, she was used to getting up early.

Ye Lian looked out the window, the sky was still slowly waking up.

It's still so early, I wonder if Qian can get a taxi? What will be the outcome of today's interview?

Half an hour later, Cao Xueqian sent a text message saying that he had got into a taxi.

At around [-] o'clock in the morning, Ye Lian checked her phone after class and saw a text message from Cao Xueqian, saying that the interview had ended and he had been hired.

But Ye Lian still didn't know what the specific situation was, and wanted to wait until Cao Xueqian came back to ask more details.

But until Ye Lian got off work in the afternoon, Cao Xueqian still hadn't come back. He didn't reply to messages and his phone was turned off. Ye Lian began to worry.

Just when Ye Lian wanted to take Lan Shan to the roadside to have a look, Cao Xueqian came back.

Ye Lian took Cao Xueqian's bag and asked him, "Why are you coming back so late? You were on the phone and turned off your phone."

Cao Xueqian took the water handed over by Grandma Lanshan and said, "I had lunch and walked around the Lijin Company. There was a traffic jam on the road when I came back, so it was so late. My phone was out of battery and I forgot to bring it with me. One more battery.”

Cao Xueqian looked a little tired after wandering around outside for a day, so he sat down on the edge of the bed while talking.

Lanshan hadn't seen her father for a day. As soon as she saw her father sitting down, she moved away from her father's lap, climbed onto his lap, and watched the adults talk.

"Did you pass the interview? How much is the salary?" This is the question that Ye Lian is most concerned about.

"Well, the salary is 5000. The probation period is three months, and the salary will be raised after the probation period." Although Cao Xueqian was tired, he could not hide the joy on his face.

"5000." Ye Lian repeated, very surprised, she didn't expect such a high salary!

Grandma Lanshan was also happy for her son when she heard it.

"Do you have to work overtime?" Ye Lian asked. The overtime system at Shunda Factory makes Ye Lian unhappy.

"Five and a half days. I heard that we generally don't work overtime."

"But it's too far, how can I get to work?" Ye Lian asked again.

"The company has a dormitory. I checked it out and the conditions are pretty good."

"You're going to live in the dormitory?" Ye Lian was very surprised and couldn't accept it because it meant that the two of them were separated again.

The joy that the high salary brought her was suddenly replaced by the sorrow caused by the upcoming separation.

Cao Xueqian saw the embarrassment on Ye Lian's face and said quickly: "If you don't want me to go, then I won't go. Originally, I wasn't sure about going. I told them that I would discuss it with my family and confirm it. I’ll reply to them later.”

Ye Lian didn't answer, she went to help Lan Shan's grandma prepare dinner silently.

He gave up everything and came to Yancheng just to be with Cao Xueqian.

For more than half a year, although Cao Xueqian often worked overtime, at least he could be together every night.

But now, Cao Xueqian had to go somewhere else, and it was not easy to see him, so she felt ten thousand reluctances in her heart.

It's like someone wants to give you a big piece of candy. It's so tempting, but if you want to eat it, you have to pay a certain price.

Ye Lian wanted to eat sweets, but she wasn't willing to pay the price.

How to do it? How to choose?

Fish or bear's paw, which one should you choose?
