"You're about to take the college entrance examination. After you've taken the exam, come to my place. I mean here. My mom said she'd cook you a big meal," Yu Linyun said somewhat awkwardly.
Her parents had fallen out with her grandparents and separated from the family. They got nothing, and even the house they used to live in was taken back and turned into a chicken coop. Her father had brought the family to the factory and they lived in the factory dormitory.
Living in the factory was much more comfortable than at home.
Her parents both had jobs here with a stable income, and the work wasn't too tiring.
It was later that she learned.
It was actually Hua Qingqing who had helped her father get the job, and she was actually the leader of this factory.
To be honest, she was a bit jealous of the other girl. How could someone be so perfect and so lucky!
There were no weaknesses in either study or work.
Oh well, what did it matter if she was jealous? None of what the other girl had could ever be hers.
The gloom in Yu Linyun's heart dissipated. She looked at Hua Qingqing seriously and said, "Thank you for finding a job for my dad."
Yu Linyang finally got a chance to chime in. He imitated his sister and said thank you.
Hua Qingqing was a bit surprised. She never thought that Wan Yindi would invite her to dinner. It seemed that a comfortable life really did bring about a lot of changes. In the past, the woman wouldn't even spare a handful of peanuts.
"You're welcome. Uncle is quite suitable for this job. He's very responsible."
Hua Qingqing was in a hurry to get to the office, so she didn't ask too many questions. She just said she'd come and then left.
The two siblings were left staring at the departing figure.
Yu Linyun heard her brother muttering.
"Sis, I feel like Qingqing has changed."
Yu Linyun: "Changed in what way?"
Wasn't she just as annoying as before? It was as if no one could catch her eye.
Yu Linyang didn't pick up on his sister's sarcasm. He really thought about it for a while.
"I think it's a kind of aura. When Cousin Qingqing was at Grandma's house before, I still dared to talk to her. But now I don't really dare. She's more imposing than Uncle."
Yu Linyun rolled her eyes.
"What's Uncle worth?"
Uncle was the most annoying, even more annoying than Grandma.
What right did he have to be compared with Hua Qingqing?
Hua Qingqing arrived at the office. She first looked through the materials and reports from this period, then called Yu Linxiu and Yang Wang to report one by one.
After the conversation ended, Yu Linxiu stayed behind. Her face was even more serious than when she was reporting on her work.
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say but hesitated, Hua Qingqing decided to start the conversation.
"Big cousin, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Did Yang Wang bully you?"
"What are you talking about? Could Yang Wang bully me?"
Yu Linxiu was amused by Hua Qingqing's words, but then she sighed.
"It's about Aunt. Hu Guihua and Zeng He came to find her and asked Aunt to get married again. You weren't here for a while before, and they caused a ruckus at the factory gate several times. Later, they even brought people to make trouble. The scene was really embarrassing. Fortunately, the new security guard was good and didn't let them rush in."
"They've been guarding outside every day, shouting all sorts of nasty things. Aunt can't just never go out, can she?"
Hua Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Hu Guihua and Zeng He are both shameless people. Zeng He has lost his job, and now he just wants to get Aunt back to support him. He definitely won't give up so easily. He'll surely cause trouble for a long time. Why didn't I see them this time? Did you guys drive them away?"
Yu Linxiu: "It was Yang Wang. He called his brothers over. Those guys were big and burly, looking really fierce. As soon as they stood there, Hu Guihua's scolding voice got much quieter. Later, Zeng He got angry and threw a stone at Yang Wang's brothers. That really escalated things. A few of them went up and surrounded Zeng He. After being scared like that, Zeng He took his mom and ran away."
"The next day, Zeng He and the others came again, but unexpectedly, Yang Wang's brothers were still guarding outside. They were there on the third and fourth days too. After that, Zeng He and the others didn't come anymore."
Hua Qingqing clicked her tongue a few times. She didn't expect that Yang Wang was really good at dealing with hooligans.
Hiss, she had heard before that Yang Wang's brothers were also from the county. They had graduated from high school but couldn't get into college and couldn't get a job in the factory either. The job market was already completely saturated. The work positions of the elders in the family would go to the older brothers and sisters in the family, leaving no chance for them.
They weren't like Yang Wang. His father was a head chef in a state - run restaurant, so he could at least get a job as a waiter. But these guys' families weren't poor, so they weren't in a hurry to find a job. Usually, they either fished by the river or went into the mountains to catch wild chickens and roast them. They were a bit like hooligans, just idle all day.
But these guys could play with Yang Wang. When their brother called, they'd come out right away. They were quite loyal.
She had been reading the newspaper recently and had found a new way to make money. No, it should be a way to benefit the people of Nan County.
At this time, the country was in a state of recovery and there was a booming vitality.
Nan County was in the north of the province but relatively in the south in terms of location.
There were many mountains in Nan County. Now that it was summer, the grass and trees on the mountains were growing extremely lush. When she went to the Wuxing Production Brigade to move things before, she saw a few herbs growing on the neglected land. And when she went up the mountain with the police to destroy a criminal organization, she also saw a lot of herbs.
Why did Hua Qingqing remember? Because in her previous life, what she had snatched from Old Hua was a pharmaceutical company.
The Hua family's ancestors were herbal medicine gatherers, and they had made their fortune from herbs.
At that time, there was a problem with a new drug from the company, and the incident had caused quite a stir. She hadn't managed to snatch the company yet, but she had already worked her way into the company. In the end, she had managed to turn the tables and get rid of the fatal public opinion, finally saving the company.
She naturally thought that the company was hers.
She was just taking back what was hers.
Otherwise, was she supposed to let her useless father give the company to those equally useless half - siblings?
There was no way, hehe.
Suddenly thinking of her previous life, the memories in her mind became clearer and clearer.
In order to gain Old Hua's trust, she had started from the grass - roots level. She had memorized all the medicines that were of no use to non - research staff. She had done her homework thoroughly.
That was why she could recognize those two herbs at a glance.
If you don't make money when there's a chance, you're a fool.
Now that the luggage factory was starting to make a profit, it would be easier to do other things.
Well, she had to go back and make a good plan.
Then she'd ask Yang Wang to call his brothers over.
But most importantly, she had to negotiate a distribution channel.
...
Hua Qingqing finished her last exam and strolled out of the classroom leisurely.
Just like the previous exams, she was the first one to come out.
Compared to before, the school was very quiet.
After walking a few steps, Hua Qingqing suddenly stopped.
Outside the door, there were quite a few people.
Quite a few familiar people.
She quickened her steps and walked closer.
"Why are you guys here?"
Yu Linxiu reached out and stroked Hua Qingqing's head.
"It's your college entrance examination. We definitely had to come and pick you up."
Yang Wang took out a camera and said excitedly, "I specifically borrowed this from a friend. Since everyone is here today, let's take a few pictures together."
Hua Qingqing suddenly felt a bit of a sting in her eyes.
She raised her hand and gently rubbed her eyelids.
