Upon hearing that her sister-in-law might be taking a position in administration or human resources at headquarters, Cao Yuedi gasped in surprise.

Both of those places are offices, which are far better than her being a low-level employee who stands at the cashier for hours every day.

And that's the group headquarters! That's a place that all the store employees look up to. During holidays, when group leaders come down to inspect the stores, the store general managers and department managers have to start preparing in advance, for fear of being criticized by the group leaders.

Thinking of this, Cao Yuedi chuckled awkwardly, "That's good, that's good."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen on the first floor.

While making dinner, her mind was in a complete mess.

My sister-in-law is going to work at their company headquarters.

This news truly surprised her, but she felt even more jealous.

She was jealous of her sister-in-law's good fortune, being able to meet wealthy people like the Huo family while serving in the army. She was even more jealous of her sister-in-law's good life, as someone arranged a job for her right after she returned from the army, and it was a good office job at that.

What about Cao Yuedi? After graduating from high school, she entered the Times Supermarket and worked in the supermarket for more than ten years, repeating the same tasks of scanning codes, collecting money, and giving change every day. She had thought about changing positions, but she lacked ambition. Her department leaders talked to her countless times, but it was no use. In the end, she had to give up. So, for so many years in the supermarket, she has always been a cashier, except that she is more than a regular cashier. That's right, she is now a senior staff member in the accounting department.

After she finished being jealous, she started plotting her own schemes again.

If my sister-in-law works at headquarters, doesn't that mean she has connections there?

Once my sister-in-law has secured her position at headquarters, she can easily get promoted by simply saying hello to the store manager!

Thinking of this, Cao Yuedi's jealousy subsided somewhat, and was mostly replaced by the desire to mend the relationship between her and her sister-in-law.

Cao Yuedi started to drift off into her thoughts, and the rice porridge on the gas stove spilled out.

Fortunately, Wu's mother appeared just in time and turned off the gas stove.

"Yuedi, what's wrong with you? You seem distracted."

"Ouch!" Cao Yuedi finally realized what was happening and hurriedly wiped the stove with a rag, only to get burned and wince in pain.

"Never mind, I'll do it. You're so clumsy, you might set the kitchen on fire again." Mrs. Wu couldn't stand it anymore and took over the task.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang, who lived next door to the Wu family, also came to the kitchen.

"Oh, what a rare sight! Yue Di is here to help too?" Mrs. Wang greeted the Wu family mother and daughter-in-law, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

Cao Yuedi smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. Normally, she would have definitely retorted sharply, but today she had something on her mind and really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After dinner was ready, Wu Jiabao had already packed up the things she had bought in the afternoon. She carefully put the coat, which was worth 62,000 yuan, in a dust bag and hung it in the closet.

The Wu family always eats in the largest room of the house, so the room where Wu Jiabao is temporarily staying also serves as the dining room.

So Cao Yuedi brought in the food, and Wu Jiabao helped set up the folding table.

Cao Yuedi put down the food in her hands and looked at the several pairs of new shoes her sister-in-law had brought back. The Ferragamo bow logo was so classic, how could she not recognize it? She had dreamed countless times of owning a pair of shoes of this brand, but she had never been able to because of the price. As a result, her sister-in-law went out in the afternoon and brought back so many. It's good to have a rich friend!

She couldn't help but reach out and touch the shoebox: "These shoes are so beautiful."

Wu Jiabao didn't reply. She walked up to Cao Yuedi, stacked the shoe boxes, and placed them under her bed before going to wash her hands.

But Cao Yuedi had already made up her mind. She followed behind her sister-in-law and asked, "Jiabao, are you going to wear that light gray coat to your job interview tomorrow?"

Wu Jiabao remained silent, but Cao Yuedi continued, "You absolutely must wear that coat. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to fix your hair and make sure you look even more refreshed."

Wu Jiabao washed her hands, dried them with a towel, and then said, "No need. Aren't you on the early shift tomorrow? You should hurry up and get to work!"

Cao Yuedi then remembered that she was indeed on the early shift tomorrow and needed to be at the store before 7:30.

She felt a little embarrassed, but then she said, "How about I help you with it tonight? Anyway, there's nothing else to do after dinner."

Unexpectedly, Wu Jiabao firmly refused: "No need, sister-in-law, I'm fine as I am. Besides, my hair is short, there's nothing to do with it."

As the head of the family, Wu Dunguang naturally sat at the head of the table for dinner after returning home from get off work. He was very happy to learn that his daughter was going to have a job interview the next day, so he drank an extra glass of old wine tonight.

Cao Yuedi sat opposite Wu Jiabao, glancing at her sister-in-law every now and then, trying to find a topic to chat with her, but she could never find a suitable topic.

At this moment, Wu Dunguang spoke up: "Jiabao, you have an interview tomorrow. Let your brother take you there! He works the afternoon shift anyway, so he doesn't have much to do in the morning."

Before Wu Jiabao could respond, Cao Yuedi quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let your brother take you."

Wu Jiabao politely declined, saying, "No need, I have plans with my comrades tomorrow."

Seeing this, Wu Dunguang stopped insisting and instead advised, "Then do your best during the interview and don't be nervous."

Wu Jiabao nodded: "I understand!"

Actually, she had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. She was there when Aunt Zeng called in the afternoon, and she heard the conversation clearly. It was said that she was going for an interview, but it was just a formality. After all, that's how the onboarding process is for big companies.

After dinner, Cao Yuedi took the initiative to wash the dishes and clear the table, tasks that were traditionally assigned to Wu Jiabao.

Wu Dunguang was puzzled and whispered to his mother, "What's wrong with Yuedi today?"

Mrs. Wu glanced at the doorway and lowered her voice, saying, "The company Jia Bao is going to interview at is the head office of Yue Di's company. She's trying to curry favor with Jia Bao!"

Wu Dunguang understood and shook his head, saying, "I knew it. This unsolicited kindness must have something to do with it."

Then he said to Wu's mother, "Alright, let's just pretend we didn't see it. As long as everything is peaceful at home, that's fine."

But Mrs. Wu didn't think so: "We're family after all. If Jia Bao goes to Yue Di's company, she should at least take care of her sister-in-law."

Wu Dunguang's face fell: "Fine, it's not even a hint yet, and you're already thinking about all sorts of things, really..."
