When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 130: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (17)

After she finished simmering the mung bean soup, Chi Yun’er moved the pot outside the window to cool. She then freshened up, slung her bag over her shoulder, locked the door, and headed for the warehouse.

The warehouse wasn’t far. It was another row of red brick buildings, only these were much larger, and their height dwarfed that of the ordinary dormitories.

"You must be Chi, right?" A woman with chin-length hair smiled as she approached, taking Chi Yun’er’s hand and looking her up and down. "You really are the one our Mr. Jiang has his eye on. Just look at how pretty and spirited you are! You’re a rare find not just on this farm, but even in the Capital City!"

Chi Yun’er asked in surprise, "You’re from the Capital City, too?"

"Of course," the woman chuckled, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "My name is Chen Xinyao. Mr. Jiang and I are not only from the same hometown, we were high school classmates."

"My family is reasonably well-off, and I knew I couldn’t handle too much hardship. Plus, I wasn’t expecting to work myself to the bone to support a family. So, right from the start, I wasn’t swept up by all that youthful fervor and came straight to the warehouse for a practical job."

"The pay and benefits might not be great, but at least I don’t have to toil in the fields, working myself half to death every day. I don’t have to watch myself go from a blossoming young lady to a weathered old woman..."

"And it turns out I was incredibly farsighted. All those people who were so full of passion back then are now secretly pulling every string they can to get transferred to a logistics post. But where would we find that many openings for them?"

She said this with a proud tilt of her head and a puff of her chest.

Then, she added with a smile, "But I’m nothing compared to you, Chi."

"You hadn’t even officially reported for duty, and Jiang was already here paving the way for you. He didn’t just talk to us in the warehouse; he went all the way to the administration building to put in a good word. He was so worried we might give you a hard time!"
