Chapter 1497 Strange Female Assistant

During the midterm exam, Zhuang Xiaoting was careless and did not do well, so her mood naturally became very bad. However, the warm-hearted boy Lin Dongzhe was very patient in accompanying her, and endured Zhuang Xiaoting's bad mood with a playful smile.

When they arrived at the bicycle shed, they found that the valve core of Zhuang Xiaoting's bicycle had been pulled out, so she could only ride Lin Dongzhe's bicycle home.

Lin Dongzhe naturally couldn't help but feel surprised, and he couldn't help but hope that these bad guys would pull out the valve core frequently, so that he could bring Zhuang Xiaoting home more often.

Lin Dongzhe, who was riding a bicycle, comforted Zhuang Xiaoting with a few words of Cantonese he had just learned. Zhuang Xiaoting, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, gradually smiled.

"Lin Dongzhe, do you have a dream?"

"Yes! I will stay by your side for the rest of my life."

"Bah! Nympho."

"Xiaoting, what is your ideal?"

“Be a writer and write the poems you like.”

"Huh? I thought you were going to apply to Mr. Zhuang's mathematics department."

“I’m not very good at math, and I don’t find it fascinating.”

"Xiaoting, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Do you hate Teacher Zhuang?"

"..."

Zhuang Xiaoting did not answer Lin Dongzhe's question, and Lin Dongzhe did not ask any further questions, but he already knew the answer.

……

Huang Ling and Song Ying were called to the office by Section Chief Zhou in the evening. They learned that the factory was going to reform, requiring some old employees to retire and be replaced by young people while also recruiting talent from outside.

The workshops have been merged and all departments have been adjusted. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Huang Ling joined the production department and Song Ying was the team leader. The heavy responsibility fell on the two of them, and they were also responsible for training new employees.

Of course, there was another shocking piece of news: starting from this batch, the factory would no longer accept technical school graduates, including children of employees.

The reason why the cotton mill let them hold important positions was because their children were not in the textile system, which would be relatively fair. Otherwise, the old employees would definitely make trouble.

Song Ying couldn't accept that the interns she was in charge of had no chance of becoming regular employees. Those children were very serious and wanted to go to Shanghai to play for a few days before becoming regular employees. She didn't know how many families would be sad and worried by this.

The factory issued a notice, and Wu Jianguo's stepdaughter Xiaomin was distressed at home. She resented her mother Zhang Amei's decision back then and believed that her mother had ruined her life.

When Wu Shanshan returned home and saw this situation, she was also very sad, but she felt that Xiaomin should not speak to her mother like that. Instead, Xiaomin retorted to her, and Wu Shanshan was immediately speechless.

At this time, Wu Shanshan was a high school student. It was said that her grades had always been among the best. The next step was to strive for the university of her dreams. Seeing her in this situation, Xiao Min must have felt very angry.

Zhang A-mei felt that she had a miserable life and was very unlucky. She never expected that the arrangement she thought was the safest would turn out to be a pitfall.

However, Zhang A'mei now has no idea what to do. The most strategic person in the Wu family has also become silent, and also thinks that she has harmed her precious daughter.

Then Wu Shanshan took Xiaojun to the grocery store to buy snacks. The house was a mess and she was in no mood to review materials for the college entrance examination, so she simply went out to play with her brother and treated him to ice cream.

Xiaojun, who was eating ice cream, looked at Wu Shanshan doubtfully and asked, "Sister, can you get into college?"

"Yes! Of course I can! Then I will take you away from here to a place where no one knows us?" However, Wu Shanshan nodded very firmly, because only the college entrance examination could change her destiny.

Xiaojun thought of his cowardly and incompetent father, "Should I take Dad with me?"

"No! He doesn't have us in his mind at all, only that noisy Zhang A-mei."

But Xiaojun rejected Wu Shanshan's proposal, "Then I won't go with you."

"Why?" As expected, Xiaojun's refusal surprised Wu Shanshan.

"Sister, actually Dad is very good to me. He often secretly buys me popsicles. And that little sister Zhang isn't a bad person either. At least she has never hit us."

"Humph! You're useless! Isn't it a kindness to you not to hit you?"

"..."

The situation at the No. 2 Cotton Mill where Huang Ling worked was getting worse and worse, because many employees voluntarily applied to go to the No. 3 Mill. The main reason was that the No. 3 Mill still recruited children of employees, and many people had to make plans for their children, so they did not plan to continue working at the No. 2 Mill.

As for the old employees of the cotton mill, they all went to the factory office to make trouble, but it was of no avail, and the leaders of the cotton mill could not solve the problem.

Song Ying finally comforted everyone, saying that no matter what, they had to secure jobs first, so she suggested that everyone and their children find jobs in other factories. Whether it was temporary or contract work, it was better than having no job at all.

Sure enough, Song Ying's words were like a bolt from the blue. These excited old employees woke up as if from a dream, and then left the factory office in despair.

Then Song Ying secretly told Zhang A'mei that if making trouble could get the child into the cotton mill, she would definitely support Zhang A'mei and even accompany her to make trouble.

But now the factory policy has changed, and the machines in the second workshop have been moved away, so there is no point in making a fuss.

At this moment, Zhang A-mei looked at Song Ying and Huang Ling in front of her with a frustrated look on her face and asked, "Song Ying, Sister Ling, don't you really have any other solutions?"

"No! It's useless even if the immortal came. You have to know that this is a policy matter." Song Ying gave Zhang A'mei an unquestionable answer.

Hearing this answer, Zhang A-mei couldn't help crying again, "What should I do? Why is my life so miserable?"

"..."

At this time, Huang Ling on the side tried to persuade Zhang A'mei, "A'mei, God will not let a blind sparrow starve to death. Look at Yiming next door. He is not only a self-employed person, but now he is doing one of the best jobs in the cotton mill."

"Sister Ling, it's different! Our Xiao Min is a girl, how can we let a girl be a self-employed person?"

"I'm just giving an example! I think you and Old Wu can think of other ways."

"..."

……

Recently, the Department of Architecture of Tongji University has a big task, which is to go to the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi to protect the ancient buildings. You know, this is a glorious and arduous task. It not only requires students to be able to endure hardships, but also to be able to ride a bicycle.

So now Zhuang Tuanan needs a bicycle at home, but everyone in the family is very busy, and Huang Ling, who is busy all the time, has no time.

Finally, when there was no other way, the key point was that Lin Dongzhe wanted to repay Zhuang Tunan for tutoring him in the past, so he offered to take a bus for a day to deliver a bicycle to Zhuang Tunan.

"Dongzhe, you've worked hard." Zhuang Tunan looked at Lin Dongzhe in front of him with a touched face.

"Hey, Brother Tunan, I'm just taking this opportunity to slack off. At least I have a day off from reading." However, Lin Dongzhe explained in a low voice with a smug look on his face. Zhuang Tunan looked at Lin Dongzhe with a mixture of laughter and tears, shaking his head, "Dongzhe, you're really going too far. Even being lazy can be so refreshing."

"Humph! Brother Tunan, I'm not Xiang Pengfei, so there's no need to fight so hard."

Zhuang Tunan looked at Lin Dongzhe in front of him with a look of surprise and asked, "Oh? Is Pengfei studying very hard now?"

"Yes! Now he doesn't even go out to play with me. As soon as school is over, he hides in the house and reads. I just don't know if he can concentrate on reading."

"Humph! Don't you understand that the early bird catches the worm? It's always better to work hard than to be lazy."

"Uh……"

Then Zhuang Tunan went to Shanxi for an inspection with his teachers and classmates. They first took a train and then a long-distance bus. They encountered roadblocks on the way. In that era, you needed to leave some money to buy your way when you traveled far away.

Li Jia and another female classmate almost encountered danger. On the way to the toilet, they were spotted by a local man. The man looked stupid and blocked the way of Li Jia and the female classmate. Fortunately, Zhuang Tunan appeared in time.

Soon the man's family came and took the man back home. Li Jia and the other girl were finally safe.

Li Jia, who had survived the disaster, looked at Zhuang Tunan with gratitude, "Zhuang Tunan, thank you so much for what happened today."

"You shouldn't thank me! If you want to thank someone, you should thank Lin Dongzhe." At this time, Zhuang Tunan named the real hero.

"why?"

"Because when Lin Dongzhe gave me the bicycle, he specifically reminded me to be careful on the road and said that the roads were still very chaotic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of coming over to check on the situation."

"Hehe, thanks everyone! I'll treat you guys to a meal when I get a chance."

"it is good."

Just as Zhuang Tunan and his classmates were rushing to the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, the successful Suning was also preparing to return home, because with the announcement of this year's Fields Medal winners, major domestic institutions finally contacted Suning.

Naturally, the big-name institution promised Suning all kinds of favorable treatment. Of course, Suning also took the opportunity to ask for a small villa in the center of Shanghai, but Suning took the initiative to propose to buy it with real money.

You have to know that the real estate policy in the 1980s was not sound, and it was not easy to buy and sell real estate. At least the legal procedures were a big hassle.

Just like Zhou Bingkun in "The World", he happily spent a lot of money to buy a house, but in the end he had to be evicted even though he had legal procedures.

Bird Ebo was the first to learn the news. After all, Suning was now the focus of the United States. "Mr. Zhuang, I heard you are returning to China?"

At this time, Suning smiled calmly and explained, "Bird Epo, you are quite well-informed. I am returning home this time to check on my family and see if I can resolve the immigration issue."

"Oh? But I heard that someone from a Chinese university contacted you?" However, Bird Ebo knew more than just this.

"That's right! Ever since I got my Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT, people from universities back home have been contacting me."

"Then the conditions offered are very tempting, right?"

"Not bad! But the conditions here are quite different from those at MIT. However, I'm willing to provide an apartment in downtown Shanghai."

Bird Ebo suddenly looked seriously into Suning's eyes and asked, "Oh? Mr. Zhuang, are you a little moved?"

"Of course! Bird Epo, you have no idea what a house means to Chinese people, but I still prefer to immigrate to the United States." However, Suning explained to Bird Epo with a frank face.

At this moment, Bird Epo suddenly explained to Suning, "Mr. Zhuang, as long as you are willing to immigrate to the United States, MIT is willing to provide you with an apartment, also located in the wealthy area of downtown Cambridge."

And Suning also showed excitement to show his respect, "Bird Ebo, are you sure?"

"I'm sure! Mr. Zhuang, although I'm only the vice president of MIT, I still have some authority."

"Okay! Bird Epo, thank you so much."

"You're welcome! We are friends after all."

"Haha, that's right! We are friends."

In fact, Bird Ebo does not believe that Suning will give up his treatment in the United States and return to Shanghai. You know, the scientific research conditions in Shanghai are very poor now, and they are not comparable to the scientific research conditions in the United States.

In addition, Suning often goes to nightclubs in the United States to spend money and party, and the beautiful girls around him are replaced one after another. It is impossible for such a pleasure-seeking and extremely lustful man to have faith.

Little did he know that Bird Epo was going to be impressed this time, because Suning could not only enjoy a life of luxury and debauchery, but also endure the hardships of loneliness and poverty.

Suddenly, Kelly, Suning's office assistant, looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, are you going back to China?"

"Kelly, now even you have heard the news?" Suning looked at Kelly indifferently and asked back.

"Hmph! Mr. Zhuang, you probably have forgotten that I'm your assistant."

"Haha, yes! I want to go back to my country to see my family and then sort out the immigration to the United States."

However, the black assistant Kelly looked at Suning again and said, "No! You can fool that idiot Bird Ebo, but you can't fool my eyes."

"Huh? Kelly, you really misunderstood."

"Okay! Don't explain to me, because there's an old saying in China that to explain is to cover up."

"..."

"Mr. Zhuang, it's been a pleasure working with you."

"Me too."

"Congratulations on your safe return home."

"Thank you! Kelly, I invite you to visit Shanghai when you have time, and also my hometown, Suzhou, where the world-renowned Suzhou Gardens are located."

"I'm not going! You're too lazy to even look at me."

"Uh? Kelly, that's because I respect you."

"You're kidding me! I don't see any desire in your eyes, which means you have no interest in me at all."

"Kelly, we will always be friends. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to contact me."

"That's more like it! You seem much more sincere."

"Uh……"
