The next day.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang. Longyue opened the door and saw a courier with a satchel slung over his shoulder standing at the entrance.
Hmm? This Empress hasn't bought anything online recently.
Longyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her face showing confusion and vigilance.
Under her gaze, the courier pulled out a sealed envelope from the satchel at his waist.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Lin Longyue? I have a registered mail delivery for you that requires your personal signature."
"Lin Longyue? Ah! That's me!"
Longyue was startled for a moment. After reacting, she quickly took the pen and signed the delivery document.
She had almost forgotten that she now had a new surname, that she had changed her surname to Lin in this world...
After signing, Longyue closed the door and returned to the living room with the delivery.
"Empress, did you buy something again?"
Lin Fan gave a light push with his feet, sliding out of the bedroom while sitting in his chair, and peeped out to ask.
"This Empress doesn't recall buying anything."
Longyue shook her head, repeatedly examining the envelope in her hand.
Lin Fan looked closer and immediately guessed what it was.
"Open it and see. It should be a surprise."
"A surprise?"
Longyue's face showed curiosity. In a few quick movements, she tore open the envelope and took out a card the size of a bank card. On the card, her photo, name, and other information were clearly visible.
"Ooh, this… this is this Empress's identity card?"
Longyue's eyes shone as she gazed at the identity card in her hand, faintly able to see a brilliant luster on it.
This was her very own identity card, and also the proof of her identity in this world.
With this identity card, from now on she was no longer an unregistered person with no identity information, but a citizen in this world, in this country…
This also meant that she could handle many things herself in the future, and could start working to earn money!
"Congratulations, Empress. From now on, you are a legal citizen in this world."
Lin Fan slowly approached Longyue and congratulated her with a light laugh.
"This is all thanks to you, Demon Sovereign."
Longyue smiled happily, but as she thought of the fact that she still hadn't found a suitable job, she couldn't help but feel dispirited and discouraged again.
"I have an identity card, but this Empress still hasn't found a job…"
With that, she let out a deep sigh.
Since coming to this world, she had experienced many things she had never felt before as a mortal, and among them all, the issue of finding a job was the most exasperating and torturous for her.
She felt it was obvious that with her status and strength as an empress, finding a job should have been easy, but this had already dragged on for several days, and she still hadn't received a single interview invitation…
"You can't rush job hunting. When the time is right, a job will come on its own," Lin Fan said, comforting her.
After all, the temporary household financial crisis was resolved. Even if Longyue wasn't in a hurry to find a job, he didn't consider it a problem.
As for the thousand for rent, that was more to give her peace of mind. It would be better if she had it, but it didn't matter if she didn't; he wasn't short of that thousand.
"Mhm!"
Longyue nodded gratefully at Lin Fan.
Just then, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring~
"A call, someone is calling this Empress…!"
Seeing the number displayed on the screen, Longyue's expression became excited, and she impatiently pressed the answer button.
This was the first call she had received since starting to look for a job!
"Hello, hi…"
"Uh-huh, that's me…"
"Interview invitation? Okay, okay, when is it?"
"Tomorrow? No problem! I'll definitely be there on time!"
"Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Longyue could no longer contain the excitement in her heart and began to dance with joy.
"Hahaha, this Empress received an interview invitation!"
"It seems the mortals in this world aren't all blind. There are still people who can see the superiority and talent of this Empress~"
Looking at the arrogant Longyue, Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was just one interview invitation. She hadn't even signed an official employment contract, and she was already so over-the-top with success, completely forgetting that she was once an empress revered by multitudes…
"So, which company has such sharp eyesight to be interested in our Empress?" Lin Fan asked casually.
"Er… let this Empress take a look!"
Longyue was startled for a moment, only then remembering that she was too happy just now and completely forgot to ask which company it was. She immediately opened her phone to check her inbox.
"Mami Media Co., Ltd….?"
"Hmm… I haven't heard of this company."
Lin Fan's expression looked thoughtful. He quickly returned to the computer in the bedroom to search for information about this company.
This Mami Media company wasn't large. They mainly focused on making low-cost short dramas or micro-films. They didn't have any outstanding representative works in the market, and in fact, had been involved in quite a few legal disputes in recent years.
However, as a company, it was quite common to have a few legal disputes here and there.
"Demon Sovereign, is this company not good?"
Longyue leaned against Lin Fan's shoulder and asked, peeking at the computer.
"Mmm, just a small company. Doesn't seem very reliable," Lin Fan said truthfully.
Hearing this, Longyue's expression became pensive.
This was an interview invitation she had finally managed to get after waiting for several days. It would be a huge pity if she were to just ignore it.
More importantly, she still had to find a way to pay this month's rent!
Seeing Longyue hesitate, Lin Fan couldn't bear to continue disappointing her, so he tried to say:
"Empress, you can try it out tomorrow. If you feel it's not suitable, you can give up and look for another job. Just treat it as a chance to accumulate interview experience."
"Mhm!"
Longyue thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Whether the job prospects were good or not was something she had to see for herself to know.
If she gave up this hard-won interview opportunity, she would definitely feel unwilling.
After all, this was just one interview invitation, not a formal contract signing. It was fine to decide whether to stay or leave after the interview was over.
Having settled her intentions, she asked with a serious expression:
"Demon Sovereign, you've worked in this world before, right?"
"Mmm, yes, I have. Why?"
"Then you must have been through many interviews!"
"Quite a few, indeed. I was also job hunting for quite a while back then."
"This Empress has never looked for a job, and I don't know what to prepare for an interview, so, so… I want to ask you to teach this Empress…"
Longyue averted her eyes and requested with a slight blush on her cheeks.
This was her first interview. She didn't know what to prepare or what questions would be asked during the interview, but she wanted to be well-prepared. After repeated thought, the only person who could help her was Lin Fan in front of her…
Seeing Longyue's serious attitude towards the interview, Lin Fan slowly spun his swivel chair to face her.
"Alright, from now on, pretend that I am the interviewer sitting in front of you and answer accordingly."
"Excuse me, Miss Lin, why did you choose our company?"
Longyue scratched her cheek shyly.
"Er… because no other company contacted this Empress."
As soon as her voice fell, a karate chop landed hard on the top of her head.
"You're FIRED! An answer like that is no good!"
"Also, who refers to herself as 'this Empress' during an interview! Again!"
Longyue: "..."
