Three days later.
"None, none! Still none!"
In the living room, Longyue sat cross-legged on the sofa, her eyes glued to her phone screen, biting her fingernails.
It had been three days since she submitted her resume. Throughout these three days, she looked at her phone expectantly every day, occasionally opening the recruitment app to see if there was a reply.
Throughout these three days, she was even more nervous and anticipating than when she was refining pills and artifacts.
However, after anxiously waiting for three days, nothing!
The resume she submitted was like a stone sinking into the sea, not causing a single ripple.
On the first day, she was full of vigor and felt no anxiety, simply thinking that perhaps the recruiting company hadn't seen her resume yet. Gold was bound to shine!
On the second day, she thought that perhaps a salary of ten thousand a month was still too high. After seeing the salary packages on other job listings, she proactively revised it to six thousand.
Finally, on the third day, her inbox was still completely silent!
No interview invitations, not even a single chance for an online chat!
What exactly was going on? Why wasn't any company paying attention to her…
Could it be that she, the majestic Grand Empress, the Supreme Ruler of the Immortal Realm, couldn't even find a job in this world…
At this moment, Longyue couldn't help but be trapped in deep self-doubt, feeling increasingly anxious and uneasy.
"Empress, what positions have you applied for?"
Seeing Longyue's listless face, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Even though he had only fabricated a high school education background for her, it shouldn't be possible that after applying for three days, there was absolutely no news, right?
"This Empress only selected some very ordinary positions."
Longyue handed her phone to Lin Fan with a look of despair.
Lin Fan took the phone, opened the application history, and immediately fell silent.
"Empress, let this servant ask, do you know how to program?"
"No, I don't." Longyue shook her head.
"Then why did you apply for a programmer position! Your resume doesn't even list programming experience, of course they won't pay attention!"
"And this one, do you know how to speak English? And you applied for an English translator position?"
"Also, this company is recruiting a general manager, and you dared to apply for that too?"
Lin Fan pointed to the entries in Longyue's application history one by one, lecturing her in an almost shouting tone.
No wonder there were no interview invitations in three days. A single glance showed that she was applying for all the high-paying jobs that didn't match her resume. Of course there was no response!
Being yelled at, Longyue shrunk her neck, but still defiantly grumbled:
"Although this Empress doesn't know how, I—I can learn…"
"With this Empress's wisdom and natural talent, I can learn quickly!"
Lin Fan: "…"
"Empress, it's good that you have confidence, but they won't give you this opportunity. They only want people with experience and work history."
"You need to have work experience first to get a job!"
"But if this Empress doesn't work first, where will I get the work experience from!"
"So you need to work first!"
"They won't hire this Empress, so how can this Empress work!"
Lin Fan: "…"
Longyue: "…"
Lin Fan and Longyue argued back and forth. After a short bout of argument, both couldn't help but fall silent again.
Without a job, one couldn't accumulate work experience. Without work experience, companies were reluctant to hire you. This seemed to be an eternally unsolvable conundrum…
"Empress, let's start with some simpler jobs…"
Lin Fan returned the phone to Longyue and said seriously.
Longyue took the phone and lowered her head disappointedly.
"But the salaries for those jobs are so low, only three or four thousand a month! The jobs are all like waiters, cleaners…"
She was the Empress of the Immortal Realm after all. She could lower her status to work and make money, but asking her to carry plates and sweep floors was something she found exceptionally difficult to accept.
Of course, if the salary was commensurate, it would not be an obstacle, but three or four thousand was clearly not within the range she could accept.
Lin Fan was also aware of this. In his previous life as an office worker, even he would find it hard to accept such a job, let alone her, the Empress of the Immortal Realm.
For a Grand Empress of the Immortal Realm to serve tea and water to people was indeed a bit of a waste…
After pondering for a moment, he proposed:
"Empress, your resume didn't include your photo, did it?"
Longyue glanced at her resume and nodded.
"Mmm, of course not."
At the time, she was just focused on finishing the resume. She didn't consider the photo important, so she didn't bother to take one to put on her resume.
"Then, take a photo and put it on later, and try applying for acting positions for film and television dramas?" Lin Fan suggested.
If possible, he actually didn't want Longyue to enter the acting industry at all.
On one hand, Longyue's identity was very special, and it was best to avoid public appearances as much as possible to avoid attracting attention.
On the other hand, the entertainment industry was very deep. He worried about what kind of commotion this unwise Empress might stir up…
However, at the moment, aside from the entertainment industry, he truly couldn't think of any other job suitable for her.
After all, with her appearance, he wouldn't be surprised if she was noticed by talent scouts.
Perhaps she would soar into the sky with this…
"Entering the acting industry…"
Longyue rubbed her chin and thought seriously for a moment, then nodded decisively.
"Alright! Then this Empress will give it a try!"
During this period, she had watched many film and television dramas and had a general understanding of acting.
Why could those people with awkward acting skills act, why couldn't she!
Before finishing speaking, Longyue already put on her socks and shoes, ready to go out to take a photo.
"Wait up, I'll go with you," Lin Fan said, catching up.
"Why are you accompanying this Empress? Just taking a photo, I can do it myself."
Longyue was confused, but Lin Fan, while putting on his shoes, explained casually:
"Because if you, Empress, are truly intent on finding a job, then you need to have an identity card."
"We can take this opportunity to take care of your identity card along with the photo. With an identity card, you'll be a legitimate citizen. Things like getting a SIM card, registering accounts, traveling, and so on, you can do yourself."
"Otherwise, if you continue to have no identity in this world, everything will be quite troublesome."
"Mmm… that's true! Alright!"
Longyue nodded, a hint of worry evident on her face.
"But can this Empress also get this identity card?"
During this period, whether it was her ordering takeout, shopping online, or even the SIM card she was using, everything was under Lin Fan's name.
Now, she also deeply understood the importance of the identity card in this world. Without an identity card, even traveling could sometimes be a troublesome issue.
But she, after all, had transmigrated here mid-way. Unlike Lin Fan, who was a native of this world and came with an identity.
For someone like her who suddenly appeared without registration, getting an identity card might be a quite complicated matter.
Regarding Longyue's worries, Lin Fan was not overly concerned.
"It might be a little difficult for others, but for this servant, it is as easy as raising a finger."
"Why?" Longyue asked curiously.
Lin Fan opened the door and turned his head with a confident smile.
"Because this servant is the Demon Sovereign, of course~"
