Chapter 34 - 32 Hou Gong KTV
"Doesn't your family have an older brother?" Bai Shasha, being their classmate, knew a little about her family's situation.
"Him? Oh, he graduated this year but hasn't found a decent job in another city. My mom's health isn't great either, so I had no choice but to give up college, start working, and help out at home!" Zhou Rou's gentle expression flickered slightly with a mocking undertone.
Li Si worried about her situation, her hand trembled a little as she couldn't help but ask, "So what kind of work are you doing now?"
Bai Shasha also waited nervously for her answer.
"I'm working in a clothing shop, selling merchandise. A thousand bucks a month plus commission—it's not bad! But enough about me. I heard you two got into the same university—how's university life? Pretty good, right?" Zhou Rou sipped her warm tea gently and asked softly.
"University's just so-so. Bai Shasha and I are still troubled about what kind of jobs we'll find after graduation!" Li Si exchanged a glance with Bai Shasha, sharing that universal post-university uncertainty.
"Is that so? Nowadays it really is tough to find jobs after graduation. Like my brother—he just got into a company, but after covering his own expenses, there's barely anything left!" Zhou Rou continued to speak softly, though her tone revealed traces of cheerfulness.
"Exactly! My dad even said if nothing works out, I should just take the civil service exams after graduation, like him—secure iron rice bowl jobs! But I don't enjoy that kind of structured work. Later, I want to find a job based on my interests!" Bai Shasha couldn't stop once she started talking. After she finished, she noticed Zhou Rou's face had slightly changed.
"Zhou Rou, don't mind Shasha babbling nonsense—it's not like civil service exams are easy to pass!" Li Si discreetly signaled Bai Shasha with a look.
"Right, I was just saying, who knows? Maybe I'll just end up as a moocher off my parents!"
At that moment, the rowdy private room suddenly quieted down. Zhang Weicheng stood up, raising a glass of baijiu toward the crowd, and spoke.
