The Empress Wants a Job

Three days later.

"Nothing, nothing! Still nothing!"

In the living room, Long Yue sat curled up on the sofa, her eyes glued to her mobile phone screen, gnawing on her thumbnail.

It had been three days since she'd submitted her resume. For three days, she'd been staring at her phone with anticipation, opening the recruitment app every now and then to check for replies.

These past three days had been more nerve-wracking and expectant than when she was refining pills or crafting artifacts.

Yet, after waiting for three days, there was absolutely nothing!

Her submitted resumes were like stones sinking into the ocean, not causing even a ripple.

On the first day, she was full of confidence and not impatient. She just thought that perhaps the recruiting companies hadn't seen her resume yet. What's gold will always shine!

On the second day, she thought maybe the salary of 10,000 a month was still too high. She glanced at the salaries of other job postings and proactively changed her desired salary to 6,000.

But by the third day, her backend was still completely silent!

Let alone an interview invitation, she hadn't even had a single online communication opportunity!

What on earth was going on? Why wasn't any company responding to her...

Could it be that she, the dignified Supreme Saint Empress, the supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm, couldn't even find a job in this world...

At this moment, Long Yue couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt, feeling increasingly anxious and uneasy.

"Empress, what kind of positions did you apply for?"

Seeing Long Yue's dejected state, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel confused.

Even though he had only fabricated a high school education for her, it shouldn't be possible to submit resumes for three days straight without a single response, right?

"This Empress just picked some very ordinary positions."

Long Yue helplessly handed her phone to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the phone and opened her past applications, his expression immediately turning dark.

"Empress, let me ask you, can you code?"

"No," Long Yue shook her head.

"Then why are you applying for programmer positions! Your resume doesn't mention any programming experience either. Of course, they won't look at it!"

"And this one, can you speak English? Why are you applying for English translator positions?"

"Also, companies are hiring general managers, and you dare to apply?"

Lin Fan pointed at the entries in her past applications and lectured her almost roaringly.

No wonder she hadn't received any interview invitations for three days. It was clear she had applied for high-paying, high-benefit jobs that didn't match her resume at all, so naturally, there was no response!

Long Yue shrunk her neck from the scolding, but still pouted and mumbled in disagreement:

"Although this Empress can't, but, but this Empress can learn..."

"With this Empress's intelligence and talent, I'll learn it in no time!"

Lin Fan: "..."

"Your Majesty Empress, it's good to be confident, but people won't give you that chance. They only want people with experience and work history."

"You need to have work experience before you can find a job!"

"But if this Empress doesn't work first, where will the work experience come from!"

"So you have to work first!"

"They're unwilling to hire this Empress, so how can this Empress work!"

Lin Fan: "..."

Long Yue: "..."

Lin Fan and Long Yue argued back and forth. As they argued, they both fell silent again.

Without working, one cannot accumulate work experience. Without work experience, companies are unwilling to hire you. This seemed like an unsolvable, age-old dilemma...

"Empress, let's start with simpler jobs first..."

Lin Fan handed the phone back to Long Yue and said earnestly.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Due to popular demand from readers, we are now offering an ad-free VIP membership feature.

Click to view.

Long Yue took the phone, her head drooping in disappointment.

"But the salaries for those jobs are so low, only three or four thousand a month! The jobs are things like waiters, cleaners..."

No matter what, she was the Empress of the Immortal Realm. She could lower her status to work and earn money, but asking her to serve drinks or sweep floors was something she found truly difficult to accept.

Of course, if the salary was right, it wasn't impossible to consider, but three or four thousand was clearly not within her acceptable range.

Lin Fan also knew this well. As a former salaryman, he found such jobs difficult to accept, let alone her, the Empress of the Immortal Realm.

It's quite a waste for a dignified Empress of the Immortal Realm to be serving tea and water...

After thinking for a moment, he suggested:

"Empress, your resume doesn't have a photo, does it?"

Long Yue glanced at her resume and nodded.

"No, it doesn't."

At the time, she had only focused on getting the resume done, and the photo wasn't important. So, she hadn't bothered to take a specific photo to put on her resume.

"Then you should take a photo and put it on there later, and try applying for acting roles in those TV shows and movies?" Lin Fan suggested.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want Long Yue to go into acting.

For one thing, Long Yue's identity was special, and it was best to avoid appearing in others' sight as much as possible to prevent drawing attention.

On the other hand, the entertainment industry was a murky business, and he worried about what kind of trouble this naive Empress might stir up...

However, besides the entertainment industry, he genuinely couldn't think of any other suitable jobs for her at the moment.

Moreover, with her looks, he wouldn't be surprised if she was scouted by an agent.

Perhaps she could soar to fame this way...

"Go into acting..."

Long Yue touched her chin and thought seriously for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Alright! This Empress will give it a try!"

She had watched quite a few movies and TV shows recently and had a general understanding of acting.

Since those people with such terrible acting skills could do it, why couldn't she!

No sooner said than done, Long Yue put on her socks and shoes, ready to go out and take photos.

"Wait, I'll go with you," Lin Fan said, following her.

"Why are you accompanying this Empress? It's just taking a photo, this Empress can do it herself."

Long Yue was confused. Lin Fan, while putting on his shoes, explained leisurely:

"Since you're really planning to find a job, Empress, you'll need an ID card then."

"We can take care of getting your ID card while we're taking photos. With an ID card, you'll be a legal citizen. Things like getting a mobile phone card, registering accounts, and traveling can all be done by yourself."

"Otherwise, without any identity in this world, everything will be quite troublesome."

"Hmm... that's true! Alright!"

Long Yue nodded, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

"But can this Empress actually get an ID card?"

During this time, whether she was ordering takeout, shopping online, or using a mobile phone card, it was all under Lin Fan's name.

Now, she deeply understood the importance of an ID card in this world. Without one, even traveling could be a hassle.

But she was a transmigrator, not like Lin Fan, who was originally from this world and had his own identity.

For an undocumented person like her who suddenly appeared, getting an ID card would likely be a very tricky matter.

Lin Fan was unconcerned about Long Yue's worries.

"It might be difficult for others, but it's a piece of cake for this esteemed self."

"Why?" Long Yue asked curiously.

Lin Fan opened the door and turned back, smiling confidently.

"Because this esteemed self is the Demon Supreme~"
