Chapter 338 Little Thoughts

Chang Family Compound

Chang's mother, wearing glasses, was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper when she heard Li Yajing humming a song as she walked in.

He glanced up at her and smiled, "In a good mood?"

Li Yaqing walked to the dining table, poured herself a glass of water, turned around and looked at Chang's mother with a grin, saying, "Hehe, Mom, I'm sure I'll exceed my quota this month."

"Oh, really?"

Chang's mother put down her newspaper and looked at Li Yaqing curiously: "Did your friend help you?"

After finishing her water, Li Yajing sat down next to Chang's mother and said, "Yes, before Xiaohan came to Beijing, I had her husband inquire about her."

Upon hearing this, Chang's mother lowered her eyes and said casually, "Your friend's lover is a teacher?"

Li Yaqing gave Chang's mother a deep look.

He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, her husband is not even 35 years old, but he is already a division commander."

Chang's mother was surprised and asked doubtfully, "Thirty-five, is your friend remarried?"

"Pfft."

Li Yaqing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mom, what are you thinking?"

"My friend and his wife are his first married couple."

Upon hearing this, Chang's mother smiled awkwardly and praised, "Your friend is very outstanding."

Li Yaqing tilted her head back, as if Chang's mother was praising her, and said proudly, "Of course, my friend is young, beautiful, and cultured."

Chang's mother narrowed her eyes slightly; she didn't care whether Gu Yihan was pretty or educated.

What Chang's mother cared about was the connections and background behind her.

A teacher in his thirties, so young, his future prospects are bound to be bright.

Is Li Yajing's relationship with his wife really as good as she claims?

Thinking of this, Chang's mother reached out and held Li Yajing's hand, patting it gently.

With a smile in her eyes and a gentle tone, she asked, "Xiaoya, how is your relationship with Zhengfan? Has he bullied you?"

Li Yajing: "..."

I don't understand why Chang's mother suddenly asked such a question.

She didn't know how to answer, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be shy without saying a word.

Seeing Li Yaqing's blushing cheeks, a smile flashed in Chang's mother's eyes.

She changed the subject, saying, "Mom was worried that you wouldn't be used to living in an unfamiliar place."

"Now that I know you have friends in Beijing, I feel relieved."

Li Yajing deliberately called out in a flustered voice, "Mom..."

Actually, I felt incredibly disgusted.

With her work and living environments changed, she was naturally unaccustomed to it.

He didn't care earlier or later, but once he found out she had a friend who was quite well-off, he started to pretend to care.

Does she really think she's some kind of naive and innocent girl? Doesn't she know what she's thinking?

While she was internally complaining, Li Yajing heard the door open.

Looking up, I saw Mr. Chang and Secretary Chang walking in one after the other.

He immediately stood up, smiled, and walked over to Secretary Chang to help him with his briefcase.

"Honey, I remember you said yesterday that Comrade Gu wanted to find a job?"

Li Yajing: "Yeah, she's just bored at home."

"It's a pity. It would have been better if she hadn't sold her job. She could have been transferred to Beijing and used her connections to get a job in a factory and continue doing what she used to do."

Li Yajing glanced at Secretary Chang and said irritably, "They live in the family compound, which is far from the city. How are they supposed to get to work?"

Mrs. Chang frowned slightly and replied, "Isn't your friend's wife a division commander? Why didn't you find her a job?"

Li Yajing glanced at Chang's mother and explained, "There are limited job openings in the family compound."

Secretary Chang sat down opposite his mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I remember Aunt Su is in the military compound, isn't she?"

"Ask her if their publicity department is hiring."

Mother Chang looked up at Secretary Chang with surprise and asked in confusion, "Zhengfan, do you also know Xiaoya's friends?"

Secretary Chang explained with a smile, "I know her. She's an accountant at the Kuncheng Textile Factory."

Upon hearing this, Chang's mother glanced at Li Yaqing standing in front of the dining table, and her lips slightly drooped.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "You want me to help her find a job?"

Seeing that his mother's tone was off, Secretary Chang smiled, stood up, and sat down next to her.

He patiently explained, "Mom, just call Aunt Su and ask if she needs any help."

"It's just a matter of a word. Whether Aunt Su wants Gu Yihan or not, we'll just give her a message about her."

Aunt Su, like his mother, is a scheming person.

He didn't believe that the other party would not try to arrange a position for Lu Huailin's lover if they knew he wanted to work.

Mrs. Chang glanced at Secretary Chang, not understanding why he wanted to help an insignificant person find a job.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Zhengfan, you know that nowadays every job is a one-person job, there are no spares."

"However, I can talk to your Aunt Su and ask her to fill an extra position, that way..."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Yajing's eyes as she interrupted, "Mom, it's not necessary. Xiaohan doesn't need a job."

"She can find a job in no time if she wants to."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chang's face suddenly turned cold.

Unexpectedly, the wife they carefully selected turned out to be someone who favored outsiders.

So eager to refute herself, as if she were afraid that she would harm Gu Yihan?

Chang's mother's eyes turned slightly cold. Didn't this prove that she was not as good as one of Li Yaqing's friends in Li Yaqing's eyes?

At this moment, Chang's father came out of the kitchen, glanced at Li Yajing, and said coldly, "That place is far from the city, and there are far more job openings than available positions."

The implication is that Li Yajing's claim that she could find a job in no time is utter nonsense.

Secretary Chang glanced at his father, then at his mother, and frowned.

I don't understand why we suddenly started arguing because of a stranger.

Without saying a word, he stood up, walked to Li Yajing's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and went into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Secretary Chang sighed and whispered, "Honey, we don't need to argue with our family over an outsider."

Li Yajing glanced at Secretary Chang, said nothing, and walked straight to the dressing table to sit down.

Looking at him through the mirror, she sneered, "Your family is really good at scheming."

"He wanted to climb up to Gu Yihan with a job that was easy to get."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Chang realized that Li Yajing had misunderstood, so he smiled, walked behind her, and patted her on the shoulder.

He explained, "Wife, it's not what you think."

"If I really wanted to get close to Gu Yihan, back in the Kuncheng textile factory, I..."

"Alright," Li Yaqing interrupted impatiently.

"I don't know what you're thinking."

"Your mother's little schemes can't be hidden from me!"

“They deliberately told me that every job is a one-to-one match, and how hard and rare it is to find a job.”

"Isn't it just that you want to use me to pass these words on to Gu Yihan?"

"If you want others to always remember her kindness, then next time something happens in your family, you can confidently ask someone for help!"

Secretary Chang looked at Li Yaqing with a black line on his forehead and argued, "Honey, you have too much prejudice against my family."

Li Yaqing raised her eyes and gave Secretary Chang a cold glance. She stood up, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes to rest, and ignored him.

Seeing Li Yaqing's actions, Secretary Chang gritted her teeth in anger, slammed the door shut, and left.
