Chapter Thirty-Seven

  In the first semester of senior year, Chen Huai-cheng regained his second-class scholarship due to increased effort in professional courses. However, it was only a narrow victory over third-class. The few hundred yuan more is equivalent to a month's income from part-time work, which is just enough to buy bedding for two rooms.

  During the winter vacation, she didn't go back home. The whole family spent a few days in S city, then her mother went back to work overtime and worked hard, while her father received his year-end bonus and happily traveled with old friends.

  The loan is left with only ten years.

  Parents disagreed on renting, but insisted on giving her 2,000 to pay for those household items.

  She now has 4,000 yuan in her account, and with the income from working part-time, she can hold on until she gets a second undergraduate degree.

  This year is a warm winter, no matter how agriculture is affected, at least you don't have to miss the comfort of air conditioning too much.

  About 30% of the houses in the community have been occupied, and the popularity is rising. The vegetable market has also taken shape, but unfortunately, there are only small saplings in the green belt. Occasionally, a few firecrackers can be heard around, and the air still retains the smell of gunpowder that has not dissipated.

  There is no doorman on duty, which is normal. Now people are not used to paying property management fees, and there are less than ten shops in the two rows of street-side commercial houses, most of which just opened on May 5th. The cushions on the four solid wood chairs in the new house were bought from one of the home furnishing stores, with a moderate price, neither too expensive nor very cheap.

  Just a little further out, it's the main road. Because it's not the main thoroughfare, there aren't many vehicles coming and going, buses run every ten minutes, two per hour, and it takes about 30-40 minutes to get to school by bus, which is already considered very convenient in S city.

  Dad rarely said something nice before he left, saying that I could take a direct line for an hour to get to the train station, which is both fast and cost-effective.

  Mom repeatedly reminded me to take care of myself and not get too tired.

  They are not very clear about finding a unit for internship in the fourth year and opening an internship certificate, and she did not mention it to her parents.

  There are actually many places to intern, but there aren't many that can be finalized. A coffee shop could totally serve as an internship unit, but she doesn't want to because it's too far away from her major and minor.

  Went to an internet cafe near school and searched for two and a half days, then thickened my skin and made several phone calls, finally found a translation agency.

  It was agreed that during the one-month trial period, no basic salary would be paid, but four hours of attendance would be required every afternoon - she could read her own books, and work when customers called for network consultations - if doing legal English translation documents, as long as the supervisor approved, labor costs could be obtained according to the company's unified compensation standard. After one month, a basic salary of 400 yuan would be provided, but some free translations would be required - the big signboard, and the professional English level 8 certificate really had value.

  It's just that the journey is a bit far, and you need to transfer buses and walk for another section of road. It takes an hour and a half to get to school and back, and two and a half hours to get to the new house and back.

  After negotiating the terms, they handled things efficiently. Seeing her proficiency with computers, the manager was delighted and immediately stamped the certificate of proof, letting her fill in the content and date as she pleased, and even taught her some phrases to say and a few contact methods.

  Then she sat in the air-conditioned room reading judicial interpretations.

  In the evening, he even helped her order a boxed meal!

  That's really great!

  After school started, I returned to the dormitory and suddenly felt a sense of detachment from the world.

  "Have you found an internship? Have you found a job?" asked Lian Xiangyu, grabbing her arm.

  "I haven't found a job. I'm interning at a translation agency, and during the internship period, there's no income, but they provide one meal per day. This year's time has been spent taking the judicial examination and self-study exam, and usually just doing part-time work."

  "Translation agency? Not going to the office?" Huang Lingyun looked very surprised.

  "My eighth-level certificate is just for this purpose, what about you? Are you going to an office for an internship?"

  "No, I'm going to xx District Court for an internship."

  "Oh, great, learning is put into practice. Which court? Civil court?" Chen Xuan said with sincerity.

  "Uh, Civil Court 2."

  "Haha, many divorce cases?"

  "Ah... I haven't gone yet."

  Chen Huaixiang patted her shoulder and comforted, "Poor kid, the proportion of divorce cases in court to the total number of marriages is very low, don't be influenced by those weirdos on your view of marriage."

  "...... Will it be like this?" If we talk about life experience, Huang Lingyun is still a child compared to Chen Xiao.

  "It's okay. Of course, maybe more are cases of debt that haven't been repaid. Conversely, if you're a secretary, it's still convenient to just modify the content on the template."

  “……”

  Lian Xiangyu originally wanted to say something, but stopped herself.

  Chen Hui Sheng is actually interning in the philosophy department. As expected, it's not quite the same as theirs. Xu Li Bing went directly to her internship unit, reportedly a certain department in her hometown, while Lian Xiang Yu is with the Statistical Survey Corps.

  "Uh, your work might be tedious and tiring. But it's beneficial for your future... If possible, think of ways to get into the system after graduation."

  "Yeah, I think so too. French is not something that can be learned in a short time, let's earn some living expenses first - I also want to buy skis, don't want to ask my family for money."

  "Good boy, study hard."

  Huang Lingyun looked at them strangely, then fell silent and lowered her head to read. She also wanted to take the judicial examination and had to pass as soon as possible. Even if she used every trick in the book, now to enter the court must have that qualification certificate, otherwise forever be a clerk!

  Chen Huaicheng hesitated for three or four seconds, then said, "I'm reading a few reference books and think they're pretty good. Do you want me to write them down for you?"

  "Want. Can I borrow your notes for copying?" Chen Hui's neatly written exam notes had always been a hot commodity in the class.

  "Alright, I'll sort it out for you. Also, can you make an extra copy for me? I might be staying at our new house a lot and not coming back to the dorm, so if others need it, you can do them a favor hehe."

  "Good! Thank you!" The number of pages in such a notebook is definitely large, and it won't be cheap to photocopy a copy, but Chen Huai's notes are indeed valuable, neat, clear, and well-organized. In this way, Huang Lingyun still made a profit.

  "It's me who should thank you."

  "Do you want your copy bound?"

  "No need. But I must say, notes like this, every year there will be changes. This is only applicable for this year, next year or the year after, there will definitely be new amendments, interpretations and cases coming out, which may contradict previous ones."

  "Got it! I'll definitely make sure to pass this year."

  "Let's encourage each other! Although this exam is tough and the pass rate is low, our foundation should be good." Chen Hui Cheng smiled sincerely.

  Huang Lingyun smiled extremely rarely, full of confidence.

  In their class, very few students are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Most of them are desperately preparing for the exam, while in the other two classes, many students firmly believe that they will apply for a master's degree in this major at this school.

  After handing over the notes, Chen Hui hurried back. No choice, she had agreed to install a water heater - the money her mother gave her was used to buy a water heater and a heating fan. In the cold winter, turning on the heating fan to read books made her feel quite comfortable. But air conditioning is expensive, for her current situation, it's a bit difficult, so she won't install it for now.
