Chapter 1399: Chapter 1001: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 9 (four thousand)
At the age of 25, she became the oldest in their major, yet with a score of 666, she was the top in their department.
During the orientation meeting, she was even publicly praised by the president and was invited to the podium.
Although she wasn’t a new student representative, the journey she undertook was extremely challenging, especially since she rose from a vocational school. The president wanted the students to understand the reality of society and invited her up mainly to have her share her story of determination.
Qi Qi happily agreed, confidently walked onto the stage, and briefly outlined the significant differences before and after her divorce.
[Last year, everyone probably didn’t have time to watch videos, but actually, I was the protagonist of a social news story. My husband and I got married for four years, and lived separately for three. He was doing business out of town, and I was at home taking care of the kids and the elderly. In three years, he sued me twice for divorce. At first I didn’t agree, but later he filed a lawsuit in court. Seeing the situation, I agreed, with the only condition being that I take the child with me.]
[I studied accounting and computerization at vocational school, but at that time I was naive and didn’t cherish the opportunity to study, wasting my youth. The jobs I found were all at the most basic level, with low pay, and I had to see all kinds of people. After marriage, taking care of the child for three years, I almost became a person isolated from the world. Divorce completely brought me back to reality because he didn’t pay child support and didn’t fulfill the court’s compensation, forcing me to deliver food and be a nanny.]
[My employer couple had a great influence on me. The husband is a locally well-known commercial lawyer, and the wife is a head nurse. They both felt that I was still young and shouldn’t just compromise with reality. They encouraged me to improve my education. Initially, I considered taking adult college entrance exams, doing correspondence courses, getting a diploma, and becoming an accountant. Later, I found that I didn’t like this field at all, and to change my fate, the best way was to attend a full-time university, study undergraduate, take graduate school entrance examination, and I could also take civil service exams, like the husband, and become a winner in life.]
[So I started to work, study, and take care of my child simultaneously. At the shortest time, I only slept two or three hours a day because on one side there was responsibility, and on the other side there was future hope. Only if I studied well and achieved could my child have a good life. A hell year brought about today’s achievement, which was not easy. I want to tell you brothers and sisters, you are at least seven years younger than me. The outside world is very real. Studying hard and striving for the graduate school entrance examination is the biggest plan for your life. Before that, don’t waste even a minute or second in school because you will realize after leaving school how much achievement you could have attained if you had planned well during this time!]
...
Because of this speech, the entire grade got to know Qi Qi. Everyone affectionately called her "big sister" and would warmly tell her that if she couldn’t take care of the child, she could leave it to them to help.
Qi Qi was very grateful to them. A week after school started, she began to revisit her old path, delivering food with her child.
After lunch, she would run for an hour or so. In the afternoon social practice class, based on her situation, the school had exempted her because delivering food every day was already the best social practice. This way, she could free up more time to take care of her child and strive for their livelihood.
Apart from delivering food, she also paid more attention to some computer-related professional companies. Going directly to HR definitely wasn’t feasible. It’s just that when others are busy, you watch a bit more, and when problems arise, you give timely pointers and leave your business card.
[If you need help in the future, you can find me. Here’s my business card. I’m a single mother and need to do some part-time work to support my child. I can’t work full-time. If you encounter difficulties at work, you can call and ask me anything. As long as I know it, I will definitely help. Of course, if there’s a part-time job you can offer me, I would be very grateful.]
The young people looked at her in surprise; female programmers were not uncommon, but rarely did they see someone like her who delivered food.
[Are you a programmer too?]
Qi Qi nodded [Yes, because of the child I have to use this method. If everyone is willing to help, that’s great. If not, it doesn’t matter. You can add my WeChat if you have any work problems. I’ll help as much as I can. Okay, remember to give a five-star rating!]
Because the extra space and time allowed her to free up a lot of time, aside from distributing business cards to find part-time jobs, she also practiced yoga hard in space, always ready to substitute classes at the yoga studio, day by day, so tired. She needs to find a part-time job that can both train her body and help her earn money, and being a yoga teacher is the best choice.
