Chapter 1: Lost My Job

she looked so inconspicuous.Ruan softened walked onto the stage, a beam of light shone on her, the white gauze did not cover her face, but draped around.This outfit and appearance didn't attract much...The city, at night.

At the door of the storage room in a dessert cafe, a portly middle-aged man blocked Ruann Soft who was just changing her clothes and about to come out.

"Good evening, Miss Ruan!"

After a long day of part-time work, Ruan Soft was about to leave for home when she was suddenly interrupted by this somewhat sticky voice.

Looking at the man in front of him, his belly protruding and his eyes not looking friendly, he silently took a step back, feeling uneasy inside.

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing here Mrs. Wang went home this afternoon."

"I know, I know, I'm not here for her. I'm here for you."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together and kept getting closer to Ruan Rou's direction.

"Me Boss, what's the matter with you looking for me"

Ruan Rou watched as the approaching body grew closer and closer. She suddenly darted aside, creating a half-meter gap between them.

"What are you hiding from! I'm here to help you!"

Wang Boss, seeing the girl avoiding him, didn't get angry. He said kindly, but his expression couldn't hide his scrutiny of the girl before him.

"Help me No, I don't need your help. The proprietress has already helped me a lot."

Ruan Soft was being stared at by Boss Wang's eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over. She silently retreated, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

"I heard you're an orphan and now you even have to raise money for medical expenses Working part-time like that, it must be hard. Seeing how pitiful you are, this is out of kindness! Your boss's wife went back to her parents' home tonight, so..."

Mr. Wang grinned lecherously, his steps unsteady as he slowly approached.

Ruan softened looked at the increasingly close man, constantly backing away until there was nowhere to retreat, his lower back against the table, looking nervous.

She couldn't understand why her life had been so difficult. When she was very young, she had a high fever and was abandoned by the trash can. Luckily, she was found by the kindhearted headmistress of an orphanage and taken home.

She was always taught that learning could change her destiny, so she studied hard to repay the kindness of her grandmother, the headmistress. Her grades were excellent, and at sixteen years old, she skipped a grade and entered National Taiwan University.

I thought that fate could change from now on, and life at the orphanage could slowly get better with my own efforts. Who would have thought that misfortune would strike again.

The dean is seriously ill. He was supposed to receive a research grant, but his senior colleague took it for themselves. Even after filing a complaint, there has been no response.

Over the years, the director has spent almost all of his savings to keep the orphanage running, and he has no money for medical treatment or surgery.

Grown up under the careful care of the dean, how could she not find a way She immediately decided to take a leave of absence and earn money for the dean's medical expenses.

As I'm only seventeen and a minor, I've been facing rejection everywhere when looking for work. The owner of this dessert cafe took pity on me and offered me a part-time job here. I thought it was a turning point in my luck, but I never expected the boss to be like this.

Could this be the end of my fate Is there really no other way

My heart has long been riddled with the wounds of reality's relentless grind. It seems like all my efforts are in vain, that's just how reality is.

Looking at the pig's trotters about to be placed on me, I feel a moment of sadness and despair.

After a second of inner struggle, she reached out and shoved the man in front of her.

The man, unprepared, was pushed and stumbled back several steps. Something that had appeared beneath his feet at some point tripped him up, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

"Ouch, ouch!" she cried out repeatedly, moaning in pain and letting loose a string of insults. "You really don't know what's good for you! I'm doing you a favor by noticing you, it's your honor to be considered by me! You dare reject me You're just…"

"I don't need your kind of help! I don't know how the boss lady could possibly see anything in you! You have no looks, no figure, and no money. You're a perfect example of a phoenix man!"

Ruan Ruǎn was also taken aback by this, watching the man on the ground struggling to get up and frantically outputting.

"To climb up to such a good wife and not know how to cherish her! You even want to mess around outside! Don't look in the mirror! See what kind of person you are! Just stay on the ground, I'll tell the boss's wife right now to come save you. Take care of yourself!"

He then took out his old, battered phone and snapped a few pictures of the person struggling on the ground. He turned around, locked the door, and left without looking back.

Walking, he sent the photos to his boss's wife and explained what had happened.

Luckily, the proprietress was a reasonable person. She comforted Ruan Rou and apologized on behalf of the boss.

Having refused the proprietress's polite retention, this job that Ruan Soft had finally found was essentially lost.

Back in her cramped rented apartment, Ruan Soft walked straight to the bed, tossed her handbag aside, and flopped back onto it, letting out a long sigh.

Long hair scattered everywhere, the thick bangs also spread to both sides. Fine hands took off the large black-rimmed glasses, revealing a youthful yet stunningly beautiful face.

I know that beauty is a troublesome thing for me now. I thought dressing like this would help me avoid trouble, but it seems I still ran into it and lost my job.

With a bit of resignation, he pressed his nose bridge and lightly placed his hand above his eyes, pondering deeply how to proceed.

Perhaps tired, thinking and thinking, I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was eight o'clock the next morning.

After tidying up, Ruanruan decided to go to the hospital first to see Dr. Grandma. She had a quick bite of bread and headed towards the City Central Hospital.

"Soft soft is here!"

Here are you seeing Grandma again today!

"Such a filial child, it's just his fate... Sigh."

Ruan softened all the way greeting, came to the headmaster grandma's bedside.

"Grandma, are you feeling better today" She then tucked the blanket around the grandmother's feet.

"Child, we, we won't be treating anymore, okay I know my condition, don't spend the money on this. Just go back to school, don't waste your time."

The headmaster looked at Ruan Soft, who was much thinner and paler, with a face full of concern. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"It's alright, Grandma. I have money now! It won't delay my school. Let's focus on getting you well. There are so many children in the hospital waiting for you to come back!"

The headmaster's grandmother, her hands etched with the marks of time, gently touched Ruan Soft's face. Her eyes welled up with tears as she nodded slowly, "You've worked hard, Ruan Soft."

The two of them hadn't chatted for long when the nurse came to deliver medicine. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruan Rou went over to the attending physician's side.

"Director Liu, my grandmother's illness..."

"I'm so soft, I was just about to look for you. Your grandmother's illness has a solution, it requires surgery. From start to finish, including post-operative care, medication and checkups, it will cost approximately 1.5 million yuan."

Director Liu looked at the thin Ruan Soft in front of him, her clothes a little faded from washing. He felt a pang of sympathy.

She, herself, is a mother. At an age that should be carefree, her child has to endure so much.

"I know about your situation. The detailed report isn't out yet, I'm just letting you know in advance so you can mentally prepare yourself. Child, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you mustn't break down first!"

"Ruan nodded softly, even with a hint of joy. 'As long as it can be cured, it's not a difficult thing if money can solve it. You have a treatment plan, that's enough. Thank you for your hard work, Grandma, I'll leave it to you!' "

"You can think that way, it's fine. Money isn't urgent. If you really run into difficulties, just tell me and I'll help you figure things out together." Director Liu held onto Ruan Soft's hand and patted it gently, offering comfort.

"Thank you, Director Liu. I won't bother you anymore, I'll go now."

When Ruan softened left the office, she went to the ward to say goodbye to Dr. Grandma. She had to find a job and make money quickly.

Walking down the street, asking from house to house, using my phone, and constantly casting flyers. When I'm hungry, I just drink some water until the evening.d in front of him and relaxed his tense body slightly.As soon as he heard Ruan Rou call him "sir," his body stiffened again, mechanically nodding his head before pressing down on the accelerator.The c...
