Manager Yang wasn't bothered by that. It would take a while to earn a certificate like that and the turnover had always been high in the food industry. He never expected someone as pretty as Yan Shuyu would work at his restaurant for the rest of her life. The moment he heard that she was looking for work he already figured out that the pretty girl was probably just down in her life for the moment. She would, naturally, seek higher grounds once she got back on her feet.
Yang Zifeng only had more respect for Yan Shuyu after hearing that she was considering to earn her certificate as a piano teacher - with her looks, she was passing up on taking the shortcut and, instead, going to go through the proper channel - all the more Yang Zifeng felt that he had made the right decision with her. Instead of being bothered by her intention to become a piano teacher, he asked caringly, "It would be rough trying to earn your certificate while you work."
Yan Shuyu thought about it for a second. Was it going to be rough? Certainly. But she had already signed up to be a server, what's some more work on top of that?
Once she passed the examination and become a piano teacher, she'd have her cozy, status dream job that she has already wanted. She would also be able to raise her child without worries. As the son of the villainess stepmother, this little kiddo was quite talented himself. His abilities and plotting skills rivaled that of the male lead. As long as he stayed on the right path, he very well could become a CEO, marry White, Rich, and Pretty (WRP), and walked on top of the world. And she'd only be a little over 40. She could very well spend her instant son's money and find herself a young lover. Life would just be amazing then~
(T/N: White, Rich, and Pretty - Chinese internet slang for a girl who has light skin tone, wealthy, and pretty. From this point forward would be abbreviated to "WRP".)
The future that she had planned for herself had further her determination. Full of raw emotions, she sighed, "Aye, anything for the child, right?"
Having secured her new job, Yan Shuyu still didn't waste any time but took her instant son with her to the restaurant that very afternoon for a meet and greet. The mother and son successfully got their free dinner that night. She donned her new uniform and started her new job the very next day.
Yan Shuyu received the call from her former direct supervisor out of the blue while she was getting settled with her new her. She told her to go in, sign some documents, and pick up her paycheck, and the full-month's amount to top! Even though the call came a little later than ideal, but after the $250 scare, Yan Shuyu was still very appreciative.
Truth be told, before she landed her new job, Yan Shuyu even thought about whether she should go back for a shot at the male lead's father. After all, if she could succeed, she would become a rich woman with a net worth of over hundreds of billions of dollars. If she didn't, she was just a dirt broke person with barely $250 in her account. When she thought about it that way, becoming the male lead's whetstone didn't seem too bad after all.
Yan Shuyu finally gave up on that thought but not necessarily because she believed that one should always rely on oneself. It was more because she had transmigrated way too early. The original owner had just started to lure the male lead's father, that's like the first step of paving the road to Rome and the road was long. She wasn't sure she has the stamina like that of the original owner, so it's best that she gave up now. Besides, she had already ran away from him.
If she tried to engage again, and he gave her a "And, who are you?" that'd be quite embarrassing.
After weighing her options seriously, Yan Shuyu had, once again, firmly decided that dumping the male lead's father was her best move.
