Upon entering the workshop, Meng Zihan was stunned by the sight before her.

Rows of tall textile machines were in operation, emitting a loud roar.

The air was filled with flying fluff and cotton dust, which made her cough incessantly.

The workshop was bustling with female workers, dressed in uniform blue work clothes, wearing masks and hats, moving back and forth between the machines, skillfully operating them.

Li Xiumei led her to an old worker and said in a loud voice, "Sister Liu, this is the new Meng Zihan. Please take care of her."

Sister Liu was in her forties, short and stout, with dark skin, and her voice was louder than Li Xiumei's.

She sized up Meng Zihan and shouted, "With your delicate skin, what kind of work can you do? Don't break the machine."

Hearing this, Meng Zihan felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only whisper, "Sister Liu, I will study hard."

"What did you say? Speak louder!" Sister Liu shouted.

Li Xiumei was much gentler than Sister Liu. She said to Meng Zihan, "Xiao Meng just graduated, don't be too fierce and scare her." Then she said to Meng Zihan, "Just follow Sister Liu, no rush, take it slow."

He left after saying that.

Sister Liu's attitude remained unchanged, and she yelled at Meng Zihan in a loud voice.

"There's no way around it, it's too noisy here, I'm used to speaking loudly. Put your hat and mask on first, you need to look professional when you're doing your job!"

"You even have an apron, why aren't you wearing it? Aren't you receiving work protection?"

Startled by her yelling, Meng Zihan felt around in her pocket, took out her work clothes, and put them on one by one.

"That's more like it." Sister Liu nodded in satisfaction, pointing to a spinning machine and saying, "This is a spinning machine. Your job is to operate this machine and spin the roving into fine yarn. It looks simple, but it actually requires a lot of skill. You have to learn it carefully."

Next, Sister Liu began to explain to Meng Zihan the operation methods and precautions of the spinning machine, as well as some spinning techniques.

Meng Zihan had never encountered these things before and was completely confused, but she still tried her best to remember them, afraid of missing any important information.

After Sister Liu demonstrated the operation process several times and confirmed that Meng Zihan understood it, she let her operate it herself.

Meng Zihan walked cautiously to the spinning machine and operated it according to Sister Liu's instructions.

She was clumsy and couldn't do it well, which made her sweat profusely with anxiety.

Sister Liu watched from the side, constantly scolding her.

"You can't even learn something this simple? Aren't you a high school student? How can you be so stupid! You'll definitely fail the exam, right?"

Meng Zihan was so scolded that she almost cried. She really wanted to turn around and leave, and never do it again.

But she knew she had no way out and could only swallow her anger and try to adapt.

Working in the spinning workshop was tiring and dirty. Meng Zihan spent every day amidst the roar of the machines and flying cotton fibers. Her hands were blistered and her body was covered in cotton fibers.

With such intense work, when I get back to my dorm, I don't even want to move, let alone have the energy to study.

Now she has only one thought every day: to escape this place as soon as possible, at all costs, and to live the life she wants again!

Ye Linchen learned about Meng Zihan's job at the factory a week later.

These past few days, Ye Linchen has been busy decorating her newly rented apartment. After everything was settled, she invited Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan to come over and visit, and also to take a look around the university beforehand to familiarize themselves with the environment.

She had also invited Shen Yanlin, but Shen Yanlin went to his father's military unit and wouldn't be back until the start of the school term.

To entertain her two good friends, Ye Linchen specially prepared snacks and juice from the mall.

The three girls went to the university first, exploring along the way and filled with anticipation for their upcoming university life.

After returning from school, the three of them went to Ye Linchen's new home.

"Xiao Chen, your house is really nice! It's much better than where you lived before!"

As soon as Lin Xiaojuan entered the door, she couldn't help but admire, her eyes filled with envy.

“Yes, it’s better than the dormitories in our cadre compound.” Feng Linlin nodded in agreement. “You must not let the Ye family know that you live here, otherwise they will definitely keep bothering you.”

Lin Xiaojuan lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I heard from my mother that when Meng Zihan was arrested this time, the Ye family didn't even try to bail her out. They kept her locked up for a full half month before she was released. As soon as she was released, Ye Zhenghua sent her to work in a textile factory. She was the hardest-working machine operator in the fine yarn workshop. The work was the most tiring and dirty. After a day, she could shake off two ounces of cotton wool from her body."

Feng Linlin chimed in, "The Ye family used to spoil Meng Zihan so much, it's unbelievable that they'd be so heartless this time!"

"I bet they're seeing how successful you are now and want to distance themselves from Meng Zihan so they can curry favor with you. You'd better be careful and don't let them succeed!"

Ye Linchen was deeply saddened to hear the news that Meng Zihan had joined the factory.

Unexpectedly, her fate and Meng Zihan's fate took a dramatic turn in their past and present lives.

In her past life, she worked as a crane operator in the steelmaking workshop of a steel plant, running around on the roof of the factory every day, which was both dirty and dangerous.

Every day after get off work, he would shake off a couple of ounces of soot from his clothes, and his face would be so black that you couldn't even recognize him.

Meng Zihan, on the other hand, went to Jiangcheng University and followed the expected path of graduating, getting a job, and starting a family.

Life is going smoothly.

In this life, she became the student at Jiangcheng University, while Meng Zihan became the one who went to the factory.

This can be considered revenge for being bullied by Meng Zihan in his previous life.

However, Ye Linchen has no intention of forgiving the Ye family.

Even if the Ye family treats Meng Zihan badly now, it doesn't change the fact that they hurt her in the past.
