In the few days after Huo Yingcheng left, Yu Bao’er didn’t hear anything from him.
But Yu Bao’er merely stayed a few days at home, Miao Jiahe very clearly expressed her attitude.
“Yu Bao’er, you’re already 22. You’re already an old miss and are no longer that little sweetheart in my heart. So, you ought to go out and look for your food!”
With a sad heart, Yu Bao’er headed north.
Of course, she was going to the capital.
To find a kindergarten teacher job.
But kindergartens in the capital were posh and upscale. Armed with only a degree from an ordinary university, it would be hard for Yu Bao’er to get a job with a good kindergarten.
After she reached the capital, she first had fun by herself.
Then started looking for a job.
Her older brother had some connections in the capital. At least, it won’t be a problem for him to help her find a job with a slightly better kindergarten. Through his connections, he made arrangements for Yu Bao’er to go over to a kindergarten.
He only said that it depended on how Yu Bao’er performed.
After all, preparations were ready, she planned on going over in two days. Also, she started looking for an apartment nearby.
She was currently staying in a hotel.
She had already ended the lease to that apartment she rented back in university.
With a backpack, Yu Bao’er went around looking for an apartment. Knowing that she was in the capital, Gu Qingjiu called Yu Bao’er and asked her to go over to accompany her for a while.
Yu Bao’er agreed to do so after her job was confirmed.
Since her brother had helped her find this job through his connections, she had to go there first. She couldn’t be wilful.
What surprised her was receiving a call from Huo Yingcheng.
It had been some time since she heard Huo Yingcheng’s voice. Yet, Yu Bao’er could immediately tell it was him when she answered the call.
“You’re looking for an apartment?”
Huo Yingcheng asked her this.
Yu Bao’er responded, “Mm, how did you know?”
“Qingjiu told me. She asked me to help. I have some recommendations. Do you want to go over to take a look?”
Yu Bao’er fell silent for a moment. “I feel that the ones you recommend… I won’t be able to afford the rental!”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
He added, “I can lend you money.”
“I can’t afford to repay you!”
With a tear-streaked face, Yu Bao’er said, “Boss, you shouldn’t encourage this bad habit. My mom made it clear that I’ll be living solely on my wages, and she’s not going to give me a single cent of allowance. I’ll have to see how much my salary will be and rent according to that. This being my first time interning, the salary will be pretty low. If I borrow the money from you, I won’t be able to repay you!”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless. “Surely you’re not seriously planning to only look for a kindergarten job? Qingjiu or I can easily find you a good job.”
“Forget it. One should know her limits. If you guys get me into the company and I fail to perform, I will be wrecking your reputations. I know what I’m capable of. It’s pretty good to be a kindergarten teacher. I have patience. Back then I had a little nephew poop on me and I didn’t even wallop him. See, I’m such a kind person!”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
“Up to you then. I can get someone to help you look for an apartment. What’s your ideal price range?”
“Around 3000 yuan? It’d be best if it’s near the school and includes utility bills. If it doesn’t require a deposit, all the better. If it doesn’t include utility bills, I can also accept a rental of 2000 yuan and below. I just need the place to have a bathroom and a bedroom. I’m staying by myself so I don’t need that big a place.”
Huo Yingcheng didn’t know the rental prices in the capital. But hearing Yu Bao’er’s requirements, he couldn’t help feeling sad for her.
Was this the life of a poor person?
Thankfully, Yu Bao’er had no idea what was going through his mind then. Or else, she might kill herself out of anger.
