1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 618 She also knows how to sow discord.

Liu Jiandong only wanted to stop the person, but he didn't expect to pull too hard and almost knock the car over: "I didn't mean to, I really need to talk to you."

Chu Xue got out of the car, somewhat displeased, and said, "Speak."

But her expression made it clear that she was very unhappy.

Liu Jiandong didn't mince words: "I heard your steel rolling mill is hiring, is that true?"

Chu Xue frowned slightly when she heard his words. The factory had only made the decision recently, and she had only heard about it from them when she went on a business trip with them. She didn't expect Liu Jiandong to know about it.

However, whether he truly knew or was misled by something he overheard remains unknown.

In either case, she couldn't help him: "Where did you hear that from? I didn't know that."

Liu Jiandong was getting anxious. This was Ding Surong's last chance for her. If he couldn't get into the steel mill, he probably wouldn't be able to make a living: "You really don't know?"

"I'm just a newbie, how could I possibly know about hiring?"

"First Snow, I'm really sorry for hurting you before. Your family has actually benefited from this misfortune and is now living a prosperous life. Everyone in the village envies you. For the sake of our shared ancestry, could you please help me out?"

"You overestimate me; I really don't have that ability."

"First Snow, are you really this heartless?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue laughed out loud: "Heartless? You call it heartless for me not to help you? Besides, how do you know things that I don't even know?"

A hint of panic flashed across Liu Jiandong's face.

When Ding Surong told him, she made sure the matter hadn't been leaked yet, and that he absolutely mustn't give anything away, lest someone with ulterior motives dig into it and cause trouble for her classmate. Even without him saying it, Chuxue could guess that Ding Surong, seeing no hope of returning to the city, must have found out the steel mill was hiring through insider information.

After all, she had heard from her previous business trip that the factory leaders intended to handle the positions internally, which would give each of the factory leaders, model workers, and senior workers a spot.

Presumably, Ding Surong will have to pay a price for getting this information. It seems there will be a good show to watch soon: "Actually, instead of begging me, you should find the person who deliberately leaked the information. That person must have connections. Otherwise, they would have had a purpose in leaking it."

Liu Jiandong didn't react at first.

Chu Xue made a gesture of counting money, and Liu Jiandong finally understood. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

Chu Xue didn't have time to keep her company: "Take your time thinking about it. I have to go take care of my business."

Liu Jiandong carefully considered Ding Surong's expression when she spoke, and felt a little flustered.

By the time he realized what had happened and was about to ask Chu Xue for confirmation, she had already ridden her bicycle far away. He stomped his foot in anger and said, "You're so cunning! You almost tricked me."

Unbeknownst to him, Ding Surong, who had truly paid a price to obtain this news, was currently worrying: it seemed she would have to endure the disgust and be intimate with Liu Jiandong one more time. If she had gotten pregnant a few days ago, it could at least cover it up; if not, then it would be a bargain for that jerk Liu Jianjun.

Her family is struggling to make ends meet right now. If she wants to live a decent life in the future, she has no choice but to take a risky approach. Regardless of whether she's been scammed or not, she has to find a way to get involved with that person. Don't think that just because she's fallen on hard times, they can take advantage of her.

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. If I really got pregnant, regardless of whether it was that person's child or not, I would pin the blame on him. If I didn't get pregnant, I would create an opportunity for him to mistakenly believe that a life had been lost by accident, so that he would feel guilty and would have to make amends.

Anyway, Ding Surong can't continue like this.
