NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Su Fei and Ningning’s days passed very quietly, no matter how crazy the outside world was. Fans from the outside world wanted to accept awards on Su Fei’s behalf.
But when the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are anxious.
They found that their idols were not in a hurry at all, and she had no intention of going to accept the award. No matter how much they emphasized and cheered for her, she simply didn’t listen, as if she had blocked her ears.
She just carried on with their normal lives, doing whatever she needed to do without any delay.
Gradually, everyone also let go of their desire for the award. They began to realize that it was Su Fei’s own career after all, and no one else could replace her in life.
People’s emotions gradually calmed down, and now most people started to focus on their own affairs. After all, those matters were far from their own lives. They still needed to work and eat.
Su Fei’s indifferent handling of the situation caused more people to regain their rationality. There were no more big surprises.
Different plans were made for Su Fei’s study at Beijing University according to her special circumstances. The school also began to provide special treatment.
Another year passed by quietly. But for every student in school, summer meant facing a turning point in life.
After the school tested Su Fei, it was found that all her subjects’ grades were above the passing line. She successfully received her graduation certificate from Beijing University.
It was graduation season again, and it was also the arrival of the internship period. As the earliest group of college students, representing the official start of the country’s comprehensive development. Su Fei and her batch of college students also began to enter the eyes of the country (Receiving significant attention and recognition).
In the years to come, these college students became the backbone of the entire country. They made outstanding contributions to the country’s development and prosperity. With so many talented individuals, the country began to gradually fill the gap in high-end technical talents.
Moreover, the treatment of these college students in the past three years was envied by the later generations, especially the college students of the 21st century. Basically, everyone has an iron rice bowl, while the others has a golden rice bowl! (Iron rice bowl refers to a secure, stable job with basic benefits, while golden rice bowl implies an even more desirable position with higher pay and better benefits.)
Various departments and factories of the country came to recruit these college students. During graduation season, the entire school was filled with employers from all over the country.
“Classmates, listen up, our… unit offers excellent benefits. You can get a housing quota after working for a year, especially for top students like you. After working for one or two years, you can definitely get a single room. As for the salary, it’s…”
“Come to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs department, free trips abroad…”
“…Our unit assigns partners! Anyone interested? Come and take a look!!!”
Not to mention excellent national key universities like Beijing University. They were important bases for various famous units to recruit talents. Basically, the treatment was very good. For the college students in Beijing University, their household registration followed them to Beijing. 80% of them didn’t want to leave Beijing and wanted to settle and develop in Beijing.
So, for some external units to come to Beijing University to recruit these college students, it was not easy.
But all of this had nothing to do with Su Fei because she was now a free person. Ordinary units knew about Su Fei’s talents, and after she became a freelance writer, she became wealthy and famous.
Most of these units didn’t dare to ask for her, and Su Fei went around the school and found that no one approached her. Even the students who ranked last or second to last in their department had people talking to them.
Su Fei was very unhappy about this. Did they look down on her? Looking down on her? Or they dare to look down on her? With her ability as a writer, she had never failed a single subject. Maybe she wasn’t among the top students, but she was still within the normal range of study.
Now, there was not a single unit recruiting her, which made her feel so embarrassed! It was simply too humiliating. Without an internship unit, she couldn’t get her graduation certificate, even if the school gave her face and issued her a diploma.
The entire job fair lasted for nearly a week, during which Su Fei went around. There were people talking to other students, but she felt that as long as an internship unit came, since they were recruited by Beijing University, they were basically national key units.
But there was none! This made her feel so embarrassed! It was simply too much to ask for help. If no internship unit recruited her, would she have to stay at home?
“Sigh… how did I end up in this situation? Have my readers lost faith in me? Are my novels not good enough? Do I lack literary talent? Am I the last or second to last in class?” Su Fei muttered in dismay.
She envied everyone in the department, each holding information from their recruited units, contracts they had signed, and their registration certificates, going to report to the units they wanted to go to.
This process really struck Su Fei, making it hard for her to live well! It’s making it impossible for people to…
Ningning watched the chubby little one who could already walk at home. He saw her weight steadily increasing. Since she learned to walk, her destructive power was comparable to a Husky. She could wreck the house without needing a bulldozer. This made the chubby one completely dependent on adult supervision. If one wasn’t careful, she would start causing trouble on her own.
So, for nearly one or two years, Ningning had been a full-time househusband at home. He had his own thoughts, dreams, or business ideas. But he never had the opportunity to implement them because one was earning money by going to school, and the other was lively and active. Both of these people were the most important in his life. He could only settle down and take care of them calmly.
When Su Fei returned from university with a sense of loss again, the chubby one was confidently taking small steps. Despite her legs being shorter than an adult’s arms, it didn’t stop her from moving quickly.
She was like a whirlwind, unstoppable in her crazy footsteps. Ningning, following behind, kept shouting “slow down, slow down.”
The chubby one had sharp eyes. When she saw Su Fei return, she immediately turned into a straight-line projectile and launched herself. Her whole body became her weapon of attack, and she collided with Su Fei’s legs with a thud.
She hugged Su Fei’s legs and refused to let go, while also sweetly calling out, “Mommy~ Mom~~ I want something yummy.”
Su Fei was jolted by the collision, quickly hiding her dejected expression. “Ah! What if Mommy didn’t buy you something delicious? Shall we go buy it together now? What do you want to eat?”
“We just eat, don’t buy her anything. There are fruits at home, and she’s already filled with snacks. She might not even want to eat dinner later tonight.” Ningning, holding a small cup, quickly intervened upon hearing this.
The chubby one might be only two years old, but she could understand people’s words very well! Especially when it came to her favorite thing-‘eating’. Ningning’s words directly hit her heart.
She could also understand that her request for something delicious was rejected. She just wanted an ice cream!
So what! With such a round and big belly, twice the size of other kids’, she should have twice the amount of ice cream.
“Daddy’s mean! No, want ice cream!” The chubby one, small as she was, could still express herself clearly.
“Yes, I’m mean to you! So what! Are you going to blame me again? Just because I’m mean, your ice cream for tomorrow is canceled too. When I become nice again, then I’ll let you have ice cream.” Ningning, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, decided to go back to the kitchen to cook.
The chubby one was still young and couldn’t understand everything. But she knew that her ice cream for tomorrow was canceled, and she couldn’t have it.
“Mommy? Wha…t to do…” The chubby one widened her eyes, deliberately acting cute, staring at Su Fei without blinking.
“Well… your daddy is really mean! Mommy is a good person, so I can’t beat the mean person. You have to listen to Daddy obediently, don’t make Daddy angry, understand?” Su Fei felt that as a respectful wife, she should listen to her husband. Besides, it was almost time to eat, so why think about ice cream?
The chubby one sighed, kicking her chubby legs to get down. She decided to find her helper! After Su Fei put her down, she saw her using her two chubby legs to stride forward unsteadily, sometimes wobbling, but still charging forward. It made the onlookers anxious.
Su Fei felt a bit relieved seeing the chubby one safely reaching the house. Because the entire house’s places prone to falls or accidents had been properly arranged by her.
Su Fei, feeling dejected, walked into the kitchen and hugged Ningning, not saying anything, just gently clinging to Ningning, like a koala. Following her around.
Ningning didn’t want to touch on any sore spots and just waited for Su Fei to calm down. After all, it wasn’t the first time, it had been like this for a few days, just like being sick.
“Sigh…” No one responded.
“Sigh…sigh…” Still no response.
“Am I not your little cutie anymore? Am I not your treasure anymore? In the past, whenever I looked sad, you would ask me why. Now that I’m so upset, sighing in front of you, you’re indifferent!! Are you seeing a dog outside?!” Su Fei was simply being unreasonable, starting to act cute with Ningning.
Ningning was disgusted by this and got goosebumps all over. It was too disgusting, they were an old couple, and she kept talking nonsense every day.
“Yes, I plan to raise another dog! And then I’ll give it to you as a companion.” Ningning said fiercely.
Su Fei was the type to be weak when the enemy was strong, and strong when the enemy was weak! Now she was not feeling down at all.
“Let’s eat, I’m hungry.” Su Fei suddenly changed the subject. She was about to comfort her hungry stomach.
“Chubby one! Chubby one!! Come eat!” After putting the food on the table, Ningning began to call her daughter to dinner. Usually, as long as she called out for dinner, no matter where she was hiding in the house, she would come running over frantically. Today, he had been calling for a while, why hadn’t she come yet, and why was it so quiet?
“Oh no! Why is it so quiet? The chubby one must have done something naughty!” Ningning was scared and quickly ran over to find the chubby one.
He found her directly in the study, about to hang up the phone. Ningning walked up to her and slapped her buttocks twice. It made the person on the other end of the line hear it clearly, feeling as if their heart had been ripped out. It really felt like hitting the chubby one, but the pain was felt on the other end.
“…Stop hitting her, she’s still young!” The person on the other end of the phone kept talking.
“Help me, waa…waa…ahhh! Come save me!!” The chubby one kept wailing, speaking incoherently into the phone.
When Ningning let go of the chubby one and looked at the phone records, he suddenly felt a headache and his heart raced. He felt like he had caused a big disaster, and someone was about to come and kill him.
