Chapter 1299: She Had to Live Frugally Every Day
Fortunately, the driver stopped in time. Otherwise, she’d probably be in the hospital.
She dug out her keys, opened the door to her room, and started unpacking her luggage.
It was so cold that she only felt better after she turned on the heater in her room.
She didn’t think that the cafeteria on campus would be open so she had to cook something to fill her stomach.
She went to her tiny kitchen and made herself some noodle soup with egg. This was something that she ate often.
Ah...she really wanted to eat steak...crab...and hotpot.
She chewed on her bland and tasteless noodles as she thought about her favorite food.
She couldn’t remember when was the last time she had eaten all these things, especially steak. She had probably eaten it one and a half years ago and this was because her classmate had given her a treat.
She took out her phone and downloaded a food delivery app. Then, she keyed in the word ‘steak’ and soon, all the restaurants that served meals with steak appeared on her screen.
She tapped on a few restaurants and took a look but she ultimately sighed as she closed the app without making an order.
It was too expensive! The cheapest steak meal would cost 128 dollars.
The standard of living at Ye City was so high that she couldn’t afford to eat such expensive food. 128 dollars was the cost of her monthly electricity bill.
Ah well, she’d only be able to even look at such things when she had earned enough money in the future.
She continued to eat her noodles and even finished the soup. Then, she took out her laptop and continued to work.
She was working on yet another flyer. She had managed to snag this job online and she had to deliver in three days’ time.
She had improved over time, so the designs she churned out these days could rival those from professional design agencies.
She only took three hours to finish designing the flyer and after spending some time tweaking the design, she could finish her work in four hours.
This was a flyer for a health supplement company and this was a company that had just been set up two months ago. They had yet to hire a professional designer, so they went online to hire a freelancer to design an advertisement for their products.
She sent the design to her client after she finished her design.
Soon, she received a response from the company and this was the reply from their manager.
“Hello, I’ve taken a look at the flyer you’ve designed for us as well as some of your work that has been posted online. I like your work, so may I know if you’re looking for a part-time job? We’re looking for a part-time designer.”
Part-time?
She thought for a moment and decided that she was willing to work part-time but she didn’t know how heavy the workload would be. She was still a student, so she still had to go to classes, teach at the art school over the weekend, and work on her designs at night.
“Hello, may I know what the job scope is like? I’m still studying at the moment,” she replied.
She wanted to earn some extra money but she didn’t want it to affect her studies.
She received a reply several minutes later, “You’re required to work on several marketing designs for our website and also occasionally, edit photographs. The workload isn’t too overwhelming. We don’t have any plans to hire a full-time designer at the moment. If you’re willing to take on the job, we’ll send you a copy of our contract. We’ll pay 3,000 dollars a month excluding insurance.”
She read through the long message.
It wouldn’t be a lot of work if her job was just to work on online marketing materials and occasionally edit photographs. 3,000 dollars a month was a substantial sum and it was enough to cover her monthly expenditure and her rent.
