Jian Ai nodded and praised him generously. “It’s delicious. It’s much better than the restaurants outside.”
“Heh.” Hearing the praise, Chen Jin felt smug again.
Jian Ai ate two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup, giving Chen Jin enough face.
Jian Ai’s stomach was full from eating. She leaned back in her chair and glanced at Chen Jin. “My mom’s undergoing surgery tomorrow, so don’t worry about work first. I’ll arrange it for you in two days.”
At this moment, Chen Jin also put down his bowl and chopsticks. He looked at Jian Ai and pursed his lips before slowly saying, “Actually, I can find a job myself. Baiyun City is a huge city, so it’s not difficult to find a job.”
“I’ll find it for you,” Jian Ai said firmly.
Chen Jin had no qualifications and was not yet an adult. Although it was not surprising that children can be employed these days, most of them were nightclubs with chaotic environments or small restaurants. Putting aside the working environment, the salary was not high. A strong and young worker like Chen Jin was the cheapest in the current society.
“Do you have any requirements for your job?” Jian Ai asked.
Chen Jin shook his head without thinking and chuckled. “I don’t have any expectations. It’s fine as long as I can earn money.”
Chen Jin knew his conditions and abilities very well. He knew he had no qualifications and skills, and it was not his turn to choose a job.
Jian Ai didn’t listen to him completely. She couldn’t help but think about it. She reckoned that she would have to get Bai Zhou’s help to resolve this matter and see if there were any positions worth learning in the company.
Chen Jin was still young, and it was not too late for him to learn a skill. Moreover, Jian Ai could tell that Chen Jin was an intelligent person. Most importantly, he was upright and kind.
Jian Ai sincerely wanted to help him.
On Sunday, the day of Wang Yunmei’s surgery.
Jian Ai arrived at the hospital early in the morning. Wang Yunmei deliberately hid this matter from Wang Yunzhi’s family. Her parents knew neither. Hence, only Jian Ai and Jian Yu were at the hospital today.
At eleven in the morning, everything was ready.
“I’ll leave everything to you.” In the corner, Jian Ai couldn’t hide her worry as she looked at Xiao Zhen and whispered.
Although Xiao Zhen did not have any expression on his face, he could not help but feel terrified when he heard the Sect Master’s tone.
“Don’t worry, Sect Master. This is just a minor operation for me. Nothing will go wrong.”
Xiao Zhen’s confidence was like a stimulant that instantly relieved Jian Ai.
At half-past eleven, under Jian Ai’s and Jian Yu’s gazes, Wang Yunmei was pushed into the operating theater. The moment the door closed, Jian Ai’s and Jian Yu’s hearts tightened.
“Xiao Yu, Xiao Ai!”
Suddenly, someone called their names from behind them. They turned around and were both shocked.
“Uncle Wu?”
Jian Yu and Jian Ai were both surprised.
Wu Shaoqi walked over quickly. He raised his eyes to look at the tightly shut operating theater door and said worriedly, “Your mother went in?”
Jian Yu nodded blankly. He looked at Wu Shaoqi and asked, “Uncle Wu… why are you here?”
They did not tell anyone about this. Even Wang Yunmei’s biological sister, Wang Yunzhi, did not know, let alone Uncle Wu.
“I went to your house to look for your mother just now, but you weren’t at home. A young man at home told me that your mother was undergoing surgery today, and that you were all in the hospital. That’s why I asked for the address and rushed over,” Wu Shaoqi said. That young man was naturally Chen Jin.
Young man?
Jian Yu was stunned. He turned to Jian Ai with a puzzled look.
Jian Ai coughed awkwardly. “Brother, I’ll explain it to you later.”
