"Hurry up, pick it up."
Upon hearing that it was a call from Trove Group, Linda's body trembled, and urged her daughter to answer quickly.
Yanny picked up the phone and answered. After a moment, she hung up and looked surprised.
Linda hurriedly asked, "Yanny, whose call was it?"
"What did they say?"
Quinn and Chole also came over.
"Mom, it was a call from the Trove Group just now."
Yanny spoke excitedly, "The secretary said they have seen my resume, she asked me to prepare the documents, and go to Trove Group for training tomorrow."
"They will also pay me a salary of 1000 dollars per month. If I perform well, I can start my internship after three months."
"If I don't make any mistakes during the internship, I can smoothly become a regular employee, enjoying a basic salary of 2800 dollars and bonuses."
Thinking that she could become a member of Trove Group and earn so much money, she became excited and spoke more aggressively.
"Really?"
Linda looked at her daughter in confusion. "It was really a call from Trove Group?"
"Yes, I checked. The phone number was indeed from Trove Group, and I recognize the secretary's voice."
Yanny nodded seriously. "She once came to my school to give a lecture."
Freya glanced at Murray and her gaze was complex. She was surprised by Murray's efficiency but also displeased with how easily Danna seemed to listen to him.
Murray understood the meaning behind Freya's expressions, but he could only smile wryly. He couldn't explain the fact that Ruby had taken him as her master.
With the confirmation, Linda was overjoyed. "That's great! My daughter can join the Trove Group. It's truly a blessing."
With this, not only was her daughter's future bright, but she could also boast about it.
"It's not a blessing from heaven."
Chole snorted. "It's Murray who helped a lot."
Freya and Murray smiled at each other. It was rare for Chole to affirm Murray like this.
"Murray?"
Linda came back to her senses and sneered, "Are you all deaf?
"Didn't you hear Yanny say that Trove Group looked at her resume?"
"It's obvious that my daughter is outstanding. Trove Group recognized her potential and chose her among many candidates."
"What does it have to do with Murray?"
"Do you really think I would believe that Yanny could join Trove Group because of a phone call he made just now?"
She looked disdainful. "That was just a coincidence."
Yanny also looked sarcastic. "Aunt, setting aside whether he has the ability or not, even if he has connections, you can't get into Trove Group just by having connections."
"They must have seen the value in me and my personality, so they hired me as fresh blood."
She instantly forgot that she had come here to ask for help.
Freya looked surprised. "Yanny..." "Enough, stop talking."
Linda impatiently interrupted Freya. "If you want to give face to your man, just say it directly. Don't attribute Yanny's excellence to him."
"How can an on-door son-in-law who depends on your family for a living and even gets pocket money have the ability to help Yanny join Trove Group?"
"You all can't get Joyce's face, so he can?"
"Don't fool around."
She didn't believe at all that Murray had any influence.
Chole couldn't help but stand up. "Murray indeed doesn't have the ability, but he knows Danna..." "Murray, tell her, did you help or not?"
She was really about to be driven crazy.
She knew very well that with Yanny's abilities, she couldn't even work as a nurse at the clinic, so how could she be valued by Trove Group and get 1000 dollars salay?
It must be that Murray used his relationship with Danna.
She didn't like Murray, but she couldn't let Linda forget about the credit from her family.
"Aunt Linda..." Murray was about to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Linda. "Who are you calling aunt?"
"You are not worthy to call my name."
"Alright, stop it. The more you talk, the more absurd it gets. If we keep going, even Payne will be dragged into this."
"I'm happy that Yanny joined the Trove Group today. I won't argue with snobs like you."
"As long as you're happy, if you say it's Murray who helped, then it's him. Whatever makes you happy, right?"
"I just won't step through this door again. Consider the gift box as a farewell gift from us to you."
"Take care of yourselves."
After saying this, she lifted her head and led Yanny away.
As Yanny left, she had a moment of self-doubt. "Did I actually apply to Trove Group?"
But then she dismissed these thoughts. Regardless, she was now entering Trove Group and was about to reach the pinnacle of her life.
She quickly posted on her Moments, "A resume that reached Trove Group directly."
Their figure disappeared quickly, leaving Chole and Quinn with unpleasant expressions. They were clearly feeling frustrated.
Murray smiled bitterly, realizing he had caused trouble for Ruby and resolving to treat her well.
Freya spoke up to comfort her parents, "Dad, mom, let's just let it go with Aunt Lin..." "Useless things."
Chole slammed the coffee table and scolded Murray, "Can't even handle a simple matter."
Then she went upstairs with a dark expression.
"Murray you helped them, so this is a gift from Aunt Linda. Take it."
Quinn threw the gift box at Murray and then left, he also feeling gloomy.
Murray was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Dad, why don't you keep it? I'm not interested in these things."
"Just take it when it's offered, why make such a fuss?" Quinn waved impatiently, not wanting to hear any more from Murray.
Freya gently tugged at Murray's sleeve and trying to ease the situation.
"I'll go change and then cook with you later."
Freya let go of Murray's sleeve and also went upstairs with her handbag.
Murray opened the gift box to find a ceramic figurine of a dancing maiden with a sword. It was not of high quality, neither in color nor craftsmanship, more like a souvenir than a work of art.
And it looked neither new nor old, showing signs of embarrassment from decades past, likely a defective product from the reform and opening-up era.
Murray believed that if this item were placed in an antique market, it wouldn't even sell for twenty dollars.
"Swoosh!" As he pondered how to deal with it, the diagram on his left hand moved slightly.
He sensed a strong sense of danger.
However, when he picked up the ceramic figurine to examine it, he found nothing suspicious.
This dancing maiden with a sword was clearly a product of a counterfeit factory, devoid of any historical aura.
But the stone became increasingly active, as if something was attracting it.
"Clang!" He ran to the kitchen, found a secluded corner, and smashed the ceramic figurine directly.
The porcelain shards flew, but there was nothing inside, and no signs of the rumored discontinuity were found.
He was not convinced and stomped on it a few more times. Just as he was about to give up, he heard a cracking sound.
The small sword in the maiden's hand cracked open, revealing several slender cracks.
He picked it up and shook it, and the small sword's ceramic pieces fell off.
A beam of light suddenly shone brightly.
He was instinctively squinted.
"Swoosh!" A soft sword about five inches long appeared in front of him.
Thin as a cicada's wings, soft as flowing water, shaped like a small intestine, but looked exceptionally sharp.
He was ecstatic, "The Fish Sword!"
