Chapter 447 Zhao Shucheng Gets Beaten Up Again

"What did you say!"

Liu Yue glanced at him, repeated what she had just said, and added a sarcastic remark, "...No wonder you couldn't even pronounce a single word correctly during the translator interview!"

"Liu Yue! Don't force me to hit a woman!" Zhao Shucheng glared angrily at Liu Yue.

Liu Yue took a step back. "Fine, I won't say anything. You can't get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looking like this. Go back and study for a few more years. If you can get into graduate school on your own merit, then we'll talk."

"You want to cross the river and then destroy the bridge!"

Zhao Shucheng wasn't stupid. Liu Yue's repeated excuses clearly showed that she was just going through the motions and had no intention of fulfilling her previous promise.

"Liu Yue, you promised me that if I helped you, you'd send me to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you dare to go back on your word, believe me, I'll report you! Don't think I don't know who you're working for. If you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Liu Yue's eyes darkened as she stared at Zhao Shucheng's reckless demeanor and frowned.

As Zhao Shucheng hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, he took two steps back and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, this isn't something I can decide alone. You wait here, I'll make a call and put in a good word for you. Even if you can't get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I'll find you another job..."

“What other jobs? I don’t want any of those. I want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!” Zhao Shucheng said.

Liu Yue sneered, "Zhao Shucheng, don't even mention that you only have a college degree. With your poorly pronounced English, you wouldn't even pass the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' most basic screening! If you want a cleaning job, that's fine too, but do you want it?"

"You want me, a college student, to sweep the floor? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Zhao Shucheng thought of Qin Ximin, who was trying to curry favor with him and get him to join the team, and spat at Liu Yue in disgust, "I won't do it!"

"Then you only have two choices: either study for a few more years and get into graduate school, or take a job elsewhere. You can choose," Liu Yue said irritably.

Zhao Shucheng was so angry that he spun around twice. If he could pass the postgraduate entrance exam on his own, why would he bother spending money and effort?

Under Liu Yue's increasingly impatient gaze, Zhao Shucheng gritted his teeth and said, "...Fine."

It's better than missing out on everything.

"Then you wait here, I'll make a call and be right back."

Liu Yue walked away quickly, and Zhao Shucheng followed a few steps, saying, "I'll stay with you, I'm afraid you'll run away."

"If I can run away from the monk, can I run away from the temple?"

Liu Yue laughed angrily, "I'm right here in the investment promotion office. What if I don't come back to find you and you cause a scene there? Zhao Shucheng, do you have any brains? Just wait for me here!"

After she finished speaking, she strode away. Zhao Shucheng stared at her back, wishing he could tear a few holes in her to vent his anger.

Damn it, they promised me a job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but now I've not only been expelled, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also closed down.

Damn it, who exposed his cheating on his exams?

Zhao Xiang?!

No, he'll have to ask about it later.

That brat dared to betray him! He'll break her legs!

Half an hour later, Liu Yue still hadn't returned. Zhao Shucheng couldn't wait any longer, so he took a few steps in the direction she had made the call. He hadn't gone far when he saw Liu Yue walking quickly towards him.

Liu Yue tossed him a piece of paper. "The Party Secretary of a certain town will take office in two weeks. Use these two weeks to go back to your hometown to see your parents. You can stay for a few days and then you'll be able to go. We have people there to help you with the arrangements..."

After Zhao Shucheng saw what was written on it, his face lit up with joy, and he reached out to take it.

Liu Yue took the paper back and reminded him, "Once you accept the appointment, you are not allowed to come to the capital to cause trouble for us again. Otherwise, we will bring you down just as easily as we did to get you promoted, understand?"

Zhao Shucheng frowned, thinking to himself, "You wish! You've ruined my chances of getting into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You think you can just get rid of me with this lousy job? No way!"

But seeing Liu Yue's wary look, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a sensible person. If you ever need my help, just let me know. As long as the pay is good, I'll do anything."

After saying that, he reached out and tentatively pulled on the paper, his fingers touching Liu Yue's.

Liu Yue immediately let go, glared at Zhao Shucheng with disgust, and flicked her fingers. "I will pass on what you said. You can leave now."

Zhao Shucheng didn't leave; she turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhao Shucheng spat, "What are you pretending for? You can strip naked and let Jin Nan look down on you, but I can't even touch you? You're such a hypocrite."

After watching Liu Yue walk away and board the bus, Zhao Shucheng carefully folded the paper and put it in his pocket before leisurely taking the bus to find Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Xiang chose a secluded spot to meet Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng asked if she was the one who revealed the cheating incident. Zhao Xiang shook her head and said, "It wasn't me, Zhao Shucheng. I came to see you to remind you that you've successfully entered the graduate program at the Foreign Languages ​​University. We've already settled the matter. As for the fact that you've been exposed for cheating, your results have been invalidated, and you've been expelled from school, it has nothing to do with me. Don't come looking for me again."

"You brat, you think you can just stop looking for me like that? All that ten thousand yuan I spent was for nothing!"

Zhao Shucheng scoffed, "Go ask your dad if we saved his life. A little brat who'll be thrown away sooner or later dares to act like she's the boss of the house..."

Zhao Xiang clenched his fist and said defiantly, "I helped you get into the Foreign Languages ​​University, our deal is done. My father's life was bought with my future, it has nothing to do with your family! Zhao Shucheng, if you're going to be unreasonable, I... I've also learned some martial arts..."

She struck a starting pose and let out a "Ha!"

Zhao Shucheng nearly died laughing. "Zhao Xiangnan, you've got some nerve! You didn't dare utter a sound back home, but you actually learned kung fu in Beijing? You want to hit me? Come on, I'll stand here and see if you dare lay a finger on me! Let me tell you, I'm the only son of the Zhao family. If you dare lay a finger on me, when we go back home for the New Year, Grandma will beat you to a pulp! Go ahead and hit me, go ahead and hit me..."

"Don't call me that name!"

Zhao Xiang clenched his fists and glared at Zhao Shucheng's stomach. "My dad said my name is Zhao Xiang, not Zhao Xiangnan. He doesn't envy others for having sons at all. He and my mom only hope that I grow up well and become successful! My name, 'Xiang,' is what my parents want me to live freely without having to care about other people's opinions! Ya... Ha!"

She rushed over with a scream and punched Zhao Shucheng hard in the stomach with all her might!

Zhao Shucheng screamed, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead. He staggered and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and curling up in a ball.

"You...you brat..."

Zhao Xiang punched him right where Jin Nan had hit him; it hurt, it hurt like hell.

"...I...I'm going to have Grandma beat you to death!"

Zhao Xiang glanced at his fist, his eyes sparkling. Looking at Zhao Shucheng lying on the ground howling, he suddenly felt more courageous. It turned out that his older cousin wasn't so scary after all.

The doctor at the health center, Dr. Li, really wasn't lying to her.

She is strong and independent; she is her parents' hope. As long as she stands up for herself, no one can touch her parents.
