The next day, as soon as Jiang Ci arrived at the office, she received an email from the Human Resources Department: a job announcement.
She found it strange. She was already an employee of New East Group, so why was she getting a recruitment email? Shouldn't it be posted on job websites or the company's official site for external recruitment?
She read it carefully: The company was establishing an Audit Department, which would be independent of New East Group, functioning as its independent subsidiary. It would be led by Lucas, a renowned auditing expert from Germany, and was recruiting both externally and internally. The minimum educational requirement was a master's degree, with preference given to those who had passed the CPA exam.
Moreover, even if the hardware requirements were met, candidates would still have to go through three exams: two written tests and one interview.
This job posting was very appealing to Jiang Ci.
She really wanted to apply, but her qualifications were only at the undergraduate level, not reaching the graduate level...
From the recruitment requirements, it was clear that New East's standards were higher than Zhongnan's.
Jiang Ci had initially thought that Zhongnan's job application form was quite formal, but now it seemed almost like a joke.
Jiang Ci was the kind of person who found no challenge in things that came easily; only after overcoming great difficulties did she feel she had realized her life's value.
To her, the New East Audit Department was as distant as a star in the sky.
After all, New East was a global international company, while Zhongnan was only famous in Jiangzhou.
Jiang Ci quickly weighed these pros and cons.
All morning, she felt a bit anxious because her qualifications didn't yet meet the Audit Department's requirements, and she had already filled out Zhongnan's job application. She felt like someone trying to balance between two options, swaying back and forth.

At noon, she had lunch with Han Lan and shared her thoughts.
"Obviously, staying at New East is the wisest choice. Moving to the Audit Department is like an internal transfer, while going to Zhongnan is like switching jobs, and you'd have to build your credentials from scratch," Jiang Ci said, troubled. "But my qualifications don't meet the Audit Department's requirements."
"What's so hard about that? Just ask your husband for help," Han Lan suggested.
Han Lan never expected Lu Yudong to act so quickly. Just a few days ago, she had mentioned Jiang Ci's reasons for wanting to switch jobs, and Lu Yudong had blocked all her paths to leaving.
Jiang Ci rested her chin on her hand. "I don't really want to ask him."
Previously, she had asked Lu Yudong to let her stay at New East because she needed a stable job and money at the time.
But now, she wanted to realize her life's value. If she asked Lu Yudong, there would surely be rumors in the company about her getting in through the back door. She wanted her CPA journey to be clear and honest.
"Why not ask? Do you think if you don't, people won't assume you got in through the back door? Even if you pass the exams on your own, your qualifications and lack of a CPA certificate will make people speculate," Han Lan analyzed the pros and cons for Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci nodded. "Makes sense."
Even if she joined the Audit Department, she'd be at the bottom, and given her identity, there would inevitably be gossip.
She decided to ask Lu Yudong for help.
"By the way, I heard the top floor of the office, which has been closed off, is being renovated to become the Audit Department's office," Han Lan said. "Let's go take a look after lunch."
"Sure," Jiang Ci was also eager to see how New East's audit environment compared to Zhongnan's.
After lunch, Han Lan and Jiang Ci went to the top floor of the office building.
Jiang Ci was amazed. The spacious and bright office, filled with greenery, and the individual glass rooms all spoke of "structure," "elite," and "professionalism," along with a private gym.
"Jiang Ci, I heard the gym on this floor is only for the Audit Department staff. Even the yoga instructor is the famous Ye Qi," Han Lan said with a hint of envy.
Jiang Ci didn't know who Ye Qi was, but she must be impressive.
In such a high-end place, she wondered if she could ever get in.
"You should just ask Mr. Lu to be less strict on the hardware requirements. Aren't exams a piece of cake for you? If you do well and get your certificate next year, who would dare look down on you?" Han Lan encouraged Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci solemnly agreed.
But Lu Yudong's WeChat and phone number were still on her blacklist.
Jiang Ci stuck out her tongue and removed him from the blacklist, hoping he hadn't sent her any messages in the past few days and knew nothing.
After work, she sent Lu Yudong a WeChat message: "Husband, are you off work? I'm waiting for you in the underground parking lot."
When Lu Yudong saw the message, he knew her intentions immediately. No one shows such affection without a reason.
She even took him off her blacklist.
She had never been this affectionate before!
