The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 25 – $250 [Remaining] (2)

Yan Shuyu had sent out a bunch of resumes the very first day she had transmigrated over. She even reached out to a few companies that she was particularly interested in; yet, now that the weekend had come and gone, and it’s already Tuesday, she still has not heard anything back. Of all the resumes that she had sent out, she only received one paltry response, “Thank you for your interest in our company, but our company required blah blah blah….”

Welp! That was a bit awkward.

Yan Shuyu started to notice that her beauty was kind of worthless in the talent market, and only academic qualifications count.

To put it in another way, her plan on using her looks to find a cozy and prestigious job that didn’t require any technical skills was more a fantasy that she could only daydream about. She was dead broke and have zero skills; now that she wanted to have a job, she should seriously consider lowering her standard and consider positions in the service industry that she frowned upon in the past. They just might be her only options now.

This was the spoiled Yan Shuyu, who was going to stay home and mooch off of her parents. Never had she imagined the day she would have to become a waitress. Well, money talks. She better learned quickly to put aside her self-esteem for now.

Yan Shuyu comforted herself that she was a very flexible person before she tidied herself up and went out to look for jobs.

Once her standards have been lowered, job-hunting had become much easier. Yan Shuyu walked around the neighboring areas and had her mind set on a fancy-looking Western restaurant. With or without any working experience, someone as smart as Yan Shuyu would naturally figured out that if she worked in the food industry, her employer would for sure provide meals as well. It wasn’t like it’d cost a lot more.

It was still ten or so more days before she could get her paycheck. She’d have to rely on meals provided at work to tie her over.

Thinking of that, Yan Shuyu suddenly felt that being in the service industry wasn’t that bad after all.

Once she stepped foot into the restaurant, her desire to work there had grew even stronger because she saw this restaurant even provided piano and violin performances!

Even though Yan Shuyu had always said that her only strength was her pretty face, she was being way too humble. She came from a reasonably well-off family and, as the single child, her parents had spent a lot of money on her. She has attended more extracurricular classes since she was a child than she could count with both hands. Sadly, her passion had always been short-lived, and most of them just went to waste. Piano and violin were the exceptions to the rule in that she’d still practice them from time to time, but only because she felt that these were skills that a goddess should possess.

In her past life, Yan Shuyu had pretty good self-awareness. She knew that she only has average talent when it came to musical instrument so she never put too much time into them. Her level was amateur at best. But now, everything was different than before, with her looks so gorgeous that it could bring about trouble, and she could play piano? That was like saying that she could totally rely on her look but, no, she insisted on her own abilities!

The owner of this restaurant would have to be blind to not want to hire a goddess like her who possessed both looks and talent!

Feeling already that this position was hers to take, Yan Shuyu walked inside filled to the brim with confidence. She asked the server whether she could use the piano and, after a definitive answer, she walked to the piano and showed them what she could do.
