On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 7 Selling a job

For Lu Manman's sake, Lu Weiguo had no choice but to prepare a bunch of tickets for her as Song Jinyue requested, filling even the cookie box.

The next day, when Song Jinyue woke up, Shen Yurou and Lu Manman were already waiting for her in the living room.

"Now that you're awake, the tickets you requested are ready. Let's go to the factory to complete the formalities now."

Seeing Song Jinyue come down, Shen Yurou stood up with a smile.

Lu Manman was also very attentive, "Yes, little sister, the factory manager is at work at this time, let's go over quickly."

"Stop it. My mom only gave birth to me. Don't try to claim kinship with me." Song Jinyue rolled her eyes at Lu Manman and said sarcastically, "Are you two in such a hurry to be reborn? You're pushing me so hard. I can't even get off work. I'm hungry. Hurry up and prepare breakfast for me."

Lu Manman, feeling snubbed, clenched her fists and was about to speak when Shen Yurou tugged at her arm and whispered, "Manman, don't be impulsive. Let's get the job first."

After reminding Lu Manman, Shen Yurou looked at Song Jinyue with a forced smile and said, "Okay, I'll go make you breakfast now."

Song Jinyue sat on the sofa, emptied the tickets from the cookie box to check them, and put them back after confirming that none were missing.

"I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of water."

She skillfully ordered Lu Manman around, who glared at her through gritted teeth before resignedly going to pour water.

While Lu Manman was pouring water, Song Jinyue put the tickets into his spatial storage.

During breakfast, Song Jinyue didn't let the two of them rest. She kept saying she forgot this and that, making them go up and down the stairs eighteen times. They were almost exhausted before she finally left the house.

Before going to the factory, the three of them went to the bank and withdrew 30,000 yuan from their savings account.

Seeing that all 30,000 yuan had gone into Song Jinyue's pocket, Shen Yurou felt a pang of heartache.

That was all her savings accumulated over the years! And just like that, it went into that little hussy's pocket.

However, the thought that the money would be back in her hands in a few days made her feel a little better.

After withdrawing the money, the three of them headed towards the factory where Song Jinyue worked.

When Song Jinyue arrived at the factory gate, she suddenly stopped.

"Why aren't you leaving? Song Jinyue, you're not thinking of backing out, are you?!"

Lu Manman raised her voice in excitement.

"Idiot, what are you yelling about? I can handle the paperwork by myself. Why are you following me in? Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you went through the back door?"

Seeing the gatekeeper looking in their direction, Shen Yurou quickly pulled Lu Manman to her side and smiled apologetically at Song Jinyue.

"It was our oversight. Jin Yue, you should go inside now. Manman and I will wait for you outside."

After shaking off the two women, Song Jinyue went straight to the factory manager's office.

"Jin Yue, what brings you here? Please sit down. I told you not to rush to work. Take care of your health first."

Two days ago, Song Jinyue had just taken sick leave due to a cold. The factory manager was very surprised to see her arrive and quickly invited her to sit down.

"My health is much better now. I'm here today to ask Uncle Liu for help with something."

"Don't be so polite with me, child. We're all family. Just let me know if you need any help."

The factory manager put down his work and sat down on the sofa with Song Jinyue.

Old Master Song was a mentor to Factory Director Liu; without his support, the factory would not have been able to open back then.

Factory Director Liu is a grateful man who has devoted himself to repaying the Song family over the years, treating Song Jinyue like his own child. "Uncle Liu, I want to sell my job."

Song Jinyue got straight to the point, stating his purpose for coming.

The factory manager, who was pouring water, paused. "What happened? Why are you selling jobs?"

Song Jinyue knew that Director Liu was genuinely kind to her, so she didn't hide anything and told him what had happened at home.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! That ingrate Lu Weiguo dares to treat you like this! Jin Yue, don't worry, with Uncle Liu here, no one can take this job from you! You stay in the factory and I'll go get justice for you right away!"

Upon learning of Lu Weiguo and his gang's misdeeds, Factory Director Liu slammed his fist on the table in anger, and was about to get up to confront Lu Weiguo.

"Uncle Liu, don't be angry, listen to me."

Song Jinyue quickly grabbed Director Liu's arm and made him sit down.

Factory Director Liu forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Jin Yue, you speak."

"The world has been in turmoil lately. I heard that the higher-ups are carrying out a purge, and the Song family will be next. Even if they don't force me, I will sell my job and leave Shanghai for a while after I've dealt with things here."

Upon hearing this, Factory Director Liu's expression immediately turned serious. "Is the information you heard reliable?"

Song Jinyue nodded. "My dad has already taken some action."

“Jin Yue, you don’t actually need to leave Shanghai. Just stay in the factory. From now on, you are a member of the Liu family. Your aunt and I will treat you like our own daughter.”

Upon learning that Song Jinyue was leaving Shanghai to avoid trouble, Director Liu made his stance clear.

"Uncle Liu, I know you and Auntie are sincere towards me, but my mind is made up. I will leave after I finish dealing with things here."

Song Jinyue politely declined Director Liu's offer, not wanting them to be implicated because of her.

To avoid worrying him, I made up a story in a serious tone: "Uncle Liu, don't worry. I have a cousin who works in the army. He contacted me the day before yesterday and asked me to stay with him for a while. With my cousin protecting me, I'll be fine."

Factory Director Liu was relieved and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you've already made up your mind, I won't stop you. But you must remember that the Liu family will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want. Your aunt, your brother Fengxiang, and your sister Fengyu are all your family."

Song Jinyue was a sentimental person, and her eyes welled up with tears as she received the first act of care she had received since arriving in this other world.

"I know, Uncle Liu, please take care of yourselves. I will come back to visit you once things have calmed down."

The thought of his child, whom he had watched grow up, leaving him brought tears to Director Liu's eyes.

"You silly child, why are you leaving all of a sudden? I wasn't prepared at all."

"Alright, it's not like I'm not coming back, Uncle Liu. Let's take care of the work first. My stepmother and stepsister are still waiting at the door."

"Is there anyone in the factory who wants to buy a job? If it's a good deal, I'll sell my job today. They want to use the Song family's money to buy a job from me. They're dreaming."

Factory Director Liu wiped his eyes and said, "There really is one. She's a long-time employee of the factory. She asked me a couple of days ago if there were any suitable jobs for her daughter. I'll call her in right now."

A moment later, a woman in her forties walked in.

"Factory manager, what did you call me here for?"

Wu Cuihua walked in, looking at Director Liu and Song Jinyue sitting on the sofa with a suspicious expression.

"Didn't you want to find a job for your daughter? My niece works in the publicity department of our factory, but now she wants to sell her job and go live with relatives. Are you interested in buying her?"

Wu Cuihua's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
"Buy, buy, buy! Factory manager, I'll buy it!"
