Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

First was creating a simple resume, then she connected to the local network of Payin City.

The city's job intermediary websites were filled with various recruitment information, but most of them were for full-time jobs that required adults.

...

Hexia sat on a park bench, flipping through the recruitment information in the projection, then chose some filter options, eliminated full-time jobs for adults, and was left with some odd jobs and simple work.

[Restaurant kitchen staff, work location: No. 41, Gear Street, 43rd floor, Payin City, 2400 Federation Coins/month...][Arc Chord Industrial Group Staff Canteen]

[Café Waiter, elegant work environment, generous tips, work location: 37th floor, Topstar Tower, 40th floor, Payin City, 3100 Federation Coins/month, requires good temperament, good-looking features, and well-proportioned physique.][Sweet Collision Café]

[Greenhouse cleaning staff, daily cleaning of every corner within the vegetable planting hall, work location: No. 173, Planting Area, 68th floor, Payin City, 2800 Federation Coins/month, two meals provided for workers...][Budding Veggie Supply Co.]

...

After browsing for an hour, Hexia put down her phone and took a short rest.

Seeing all the job requirements, her slight confidence was immediately dashed.

"School grades aren't of much use in society," she silently lamented in her heart, and although she had known this would be the case, it was only now, when truly searching for a job, that she acutely felt the difficulties of an ordinary person.

But, you can't give up, Hexia.

The young girl encouraged herself and then continued to filter through the options.

Ultimately, she edited her resume and sent out applications to three jobs, namely 'Café Waiter,' 'Private Tutor,' and 'Safety Inspector.'

Making money really isn't easy; no wonder some of her classmates are looking for shortcuts, Hexia shook her head, stood up, and looked up at the majestic Daxia towering about a hundred meters before her, its brilliance flowing, thronged with office workers shuttling back and forth.

Although these lights and screens could not speak, the colorful images, and every turning symbol and character, did not fail to showcase their worth—as the value of brands and advertisements, and behind these neon lights and signs, the buildings, if they could be personified, their economic figures would be astonishing, so rapidly turning yet so captivating.

Countless people threw themselves into this number, singing praises for it, crying, and sighing for it, only cursing that the one riding the wave's crest was not themselves.

"Beneath the wheels of the era, there's no escape."

————

[Miss Hexia, hello, your application for the Private Tutor position has been cancelled. The client has reached a contract with a suitable candidate. If you wish to know the difference between you and your competitors and analyze the reasons, we can provide you with VIP membership services...]

Turn it off, forget the VIP membership fee, Hexia decisively refused.

When it comes to grades, she was confident she was not inferior to her peers, but if the other party was a teacher or an excellent high school student, she figured it would be tough to compete.

Soon, another message arrived.

[Your application for the Safety Inspector resume has been rejected. The reason given is that you are too young and not suitable for the position...]

A 16-year-old girl doesn't have much to intimidate with; maybe they'd prefer to hire a burly man instead.

After concluding that message, Hexia felt that it might be difficult to get a result today. Just as she was pondering if there was any other way out, a message came through.

[Miss Hexia, regarding the 'Cafe Waitress' position you applied for, the employer is interested in you and would like to conduct a brief video interview. Would you accept/decline?]

With no other options, she could only give it a try. Hexia blinked and clicked confirm.

The image projected on her personal terminal showed a woman around 30 years old, somewhat overweight, dressed in a professional suit and wearing glasses.

"Hello, is this Miss Hexia?"

"Hello, yes, it is." Hexia nodded earnestly.

"Hmm… looking at your demeanor, it does meet our requirements. Can you tell me your height?"

"I am 160 cm tall," recalled Hexia, thinking back to her last physical examination before graduation.

"Your details show that you've just graduated from junior high school. Do you plan to work directly or continue your studies in high school?"

"I plan to attend high school in the future, but currently, I want to work for a while before school starts to earn living expenses," Hexia answered honestly.

"I see…" The other party seemed a bit hesitant.

"We are indeed hiring, but we need long-term employees. If you can't work long-term and only want to work short-term, the salary will be lower."

"How much would that be?"

"The probationary period would be 50 Federation Coins per day for a week. Upon becoming a regular, it would be 2600 Federation Coins per month, including two meals during work."

Although 2600 wasn't much, it included meals, which the girl greatly appreciated.

"I can accept that."

"Okay then, are you free this afternoon? Come to the 37th floor of Topstar Tower." Topstar Tower is a landmark building in Payin City, and also the tallest building in the underground district. The view from the top is stunning, and many young couples have their dates there.

"Alright."

After ending the video call, Hexia's originally anxious heart settled a bit. No matter what, she now had her first job.

First, she'd take a look.

After getting ready, Hexia stood up, stepped out of the park, and looked up to see a light-filled tower standing tall at the city center, drawing the gazes of passersby.

However, she suddenly felt a little hungry.
