Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 356 - 354 Her Lucky Star

After being rejected numerous times, Jiayi was on the verge of despair, hardly bothering to apply for designer positions anymore. She was considering giving up on her major in fashion design and settling for a job with a lower threshold.

Lately, when Zaizai was playing games on her laptop, he accidentally clicked into the job site she’d set as her homepage and sent her resume to Yundu—the company she was interviewing with today.

It was a company she didn’t even dare to apply to, always opening the page and closing it again.

It was said Yundu was the largest clothing company in Yunling, and had recently been acquired by a tycoon who had returned from America.

While the enterprise was still managed by the original chairman and general manager, the true power behind the scenes had changed hands, now belonging to that wealthy Chinese who had just returned to the country.

With a major shareholder in place, all Yundu’s employee benefits had significantly improved. Not only was the salary the highest in the industry locally, but they also offered various benefits like overseas travel and employee scholarships, enticing a swarm of applicants including many talented individuals.

She couldn’t even land a job as a junior designer at a mid-sized company. How could she possibly get a job at such a wealthy corporation?

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, she got a call inviting her for an interview.

She had been to countless interviews like this, and each time there was no follow-up. But this time—

For mommy, for the bun, she must seize the opportunity and give it her all!

After breakfast, Jiayi changed her clothes, grabbed her resume and design drafts, and crouched down to give Little Meatball a kiss: "Zaizai, listen to Grandma at home. Mommy’s going for an interview."

Speaking of this, she felt a bit guilty. Zaizai was almost four, and at this age, other children would already have been enrolled in preschool.

The kindergarten she had her eye on was Qixing, not only because it was close to home but also because it was one of the top three in the city for its teaching staff. Moreover, it offered bilingual education. However, the tuition fees were too high, and it was too hard to get in, so his enrollment had been put on hold.

Every day, when Xia Tingxuan went to her dance classes, Zaizai would end up alone at home, watching television—a child isolated in his own little world.

As Jiayi stepped out of the room, Zaizai, sitting in his children’s chair in the living room, saw mommy getting ready to leave. He bit into the scallion pancake freshly made by Grandma: "Mommy, perform well, okay? You have to win."

Winning meant getting a job, and with a job came a salary. He would be able to eat chicken cutlets every day and go to kindergarten like the other kids in the neighborhood. Most importantly, Grandma wouldn’t have to bear the burden of household expenses alone, Mommy wouldn’t always have to worry about Grandma being too tired, and she wouldn’t hesitate to buy more pretty clothes because of the cost.

To Zaizai, having a job seemed like an incredibly wonderful thing.

Jiayi smiled and wiped the oil from her son’s mouth: "Mommy will do her best."

To Zaizai, however, "do her best" sounded like a brush-off. He stopped eating his favorite scallion pancake made by Grandma and quivered with determination: "Don’t just do your best, you must win. Your drawings are so great, Mommy, you’ll definitely win."

The previous companies that didn’t want Mommy were shortsighted. This time, the big company would not miss out on her.

Seeing her son getting upset, Jiayi quickly gave him a kiss and coaxed, "Alright, alright. Mommy will definitely succeed at the interview."

Even as she made the promise to her son, she had no confidence inside.

That was Yundu, after all, a company she hadn’t even dared to dream about.

If Zaizai hadn’t accidentally sent her resume from her homepage, she wouldn’t have thought about it at all.

Zaizai, still worried even after hearing Mommy’s promise, put on the air of a little Boss: "Did you bring your personal resume and design drafts? Check them. Don’t go and realize you’ve forgotten them. Also, when you see the interviewers, don’t be nervous. Just think of them as big meat buns, then you won’t be scared."

Jiayi was dumbfounded. What on earth had she brought into this world?

It must be from all those cartoons, no good, later on she should let him watch fewer TV dramas to avoid him turning into a little adult who is always telling her what to do.

Thinking this, Jiayi couldn’t help but feel a warm surge in her heart.

This kind of life might just be what she always wanted.

For the two dearest people in her life, she had to secure today’s job.

"Little Boss, do you have any other instructions?" Jiayi asked helplessly with a smile.

Little Meatball sucked on his thumb and said, "I want to eat fried chicken from KFC."

Little foodie.

Jiayi pinched his chubby face, "Eat any more and you really will turn into a little meatball."

"Hey, it’s okay for children to be plump, it’s cute; they don’t have to be skinny like a monkey," Xia Tingxuan said affectionately as she ruffled her grandson’s hair.

The night before the abortion surgery, when Jiayi had told her mother her final decision, Xia Tingxuan hadn’t expected her daughter to have the courage to be a single mother.

Her daughter had grown up by her side, and perhaps because there were no men at home, she had always been a bit timid, even weak. In the years she had been with the Chu family, even though Chu Yanhan hadn’t said much, Xia Tingxuan could tell from between the lines that her daughter had been treated like a punching bag.

But now, since her daughter had chosen not to terminate the pregnancy, it indicated that her decision was very firm.

Despite knowing how hard it is to be a single mother, Xia Tingxuan also knew how much joy a child could bring.

Since her daughter had made up her mind, she stood by her side, supporting her without hesitation.

As it turned out, Zaizai’s arrival indeed brought immense joy to both mother and daughter.

In that moment, seeing her mom speaking up for her son, Jiayi could only shake her head with a smile, "Mom, Zaizai becoming a foodie is partly your doing too."

Despite saying that, she still planted a kiss on her son, "Be good at home, and Mommy will bring back some fried chicken for you." Having said that, she greeted Xia Tingxuan and left.

The office buildings of Yundu were imposingly situated in the CBD of the city.

The forty-eight stories of the building’s glass shone with a noble and stern light under the bright sun.

While Jiayi was still in the taxi, she saw the Yundu building from a distance, towering into the sky. Just one look, and her nerves were already on edge, forgetting all the encouragement and motivation that Zaizai had given her before leaving home.

She had learned from online research that originally, only floors twelve to twenty in the Yundu Building belonged to Yundu, but after a wealthy businessman returned from overseas and invested, personnel expansion ensued, and they bought the entire building outright.

Since the company expanded its floors, many new departments were added, urgently requiring staff for various positions, hence Yundu’s public recruitment event. Otherwise, a fresh graduate with no work experience, like her, wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be interviewed.

In that case, this mysterious American tycoon was truly her lucky star.

However, this Boss behind the scenes was quite low-key, with hardly any information available online. It was heard that this person was originally a major player in the commercial circles of the Southern Faction in China, and due to an illness, went with his family to America for medical treatment. After recuperating for a year, he started a new business in America, and even relocated the focus of his business from China to the U.S.
